Sam’s P.O.V: 170Please respect copyright.PENANAMU89TRYjYT
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn0zjV9lHjf
170Please respect copyright.PENANAp87AN0EgB6
We were back at the café, where we had dumplings. It was the only place we could sit and talk, as there weren’t many people. Zoey, Mino, Lee, and I sat in one booth while the others sat in the next one. Mike and Daniel remained standing, watching what might unfold in front of them.170Please respect copyright.PENANApaAFlFjQ66
170Please respect copyright.PENANApbQPCXYt0F
170Please respect copyright.PENANA14SdtUrJRA
Lee, in her aunt outfit, really looked like an angry one as she said, "You really have a lot of explaining to do, Zoey. What were you thinking about going over to that club? Do you really want Collins to hang all of us?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAG4CRq7qFZr
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqV8RGnKRb7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuEi7WFTZUE
"I was just going to talk to Johnny." Zoey tried to defend herself. "I wasn’t going to do anything stupid, I promise."170Please respect copyright.PENANAH9cuktlRr4
170Please respect copyright.PENANARZJOieH2DF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGLHJxa94uZ
"Then why didn’t you tell us what you planned to do?" I asked. "And don’t tell me that you knew I was going to refuse."170Please respect copyright.PENANAq5oR8mKrqj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEYHHw1WfUX
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdKcqrk29fk
Zoey opened and closed her mouth instantly. She was going to say exactly that.170Please respect copyright.PENANAEYqljdEEFD
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqs3cnV5QTI
170Please respect copyright.PENANArimhdW3tNN
"You know very well that Collins told us not to get near him," I continued. I turn to Mino. "And were you really going to follow through with her plan?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAKmuzjUQNSk
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9bSgGb9xJH
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFKL6Oyl57P
Mino shook his head. "I did try to tell her that it wasn’t a good idea," he answered. "Now I wish I was a bit firm with her."170Please respect copyright.PENANAh7QJpnsN8A
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdQqMtqRUvc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo9x7aj8hJb
I sighed. I had no reason to be mad at Mino. Zoey can be persuasive sometimes. Moreover, there’s no denying that he likes her a lot and would do anything to please her a little.170Please respect copyright.PENANAU2AWanXGy4
170Please respect copyright.PENANApVNQXmdXEF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAL26NCyHbBr
"Okay, now that we have Zoey," said Mike, "can we have some fun, like, for real? We can’t end this night with a sour mood, right?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAKGReTRdzQu
170Please respect copyright.PENANAh8j6bgmY0W
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUAGfc0Q8US
"I agree," said Zoey. I quickly looked at her, and she covered her mouth. Right now, she has no right to suggest anything, not after what she did.170Please respect copyright.PENANA8fwZZTmfTj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMZUP2izCoU
170Please respect copyright.PENANARumy8HqzWf
"Yeah, you can hang out if you want," said Lee as she leaned back on the seat. "I’ll go back to the car. This search for Zoey really got me so worked up that I need a breather."170Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ5aySP0VF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJzPjDuuIDj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvhpbdg5TwR
"What?" Christine came up from behind the booth, looking down at Lee. "I thought you wanted to try out those shoes that we saw earlier. And they are in your favorite color." 170Please respect copyright.PENANAbnqs14TG95
170Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ39Mb6XCT
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1XGdtWGeMK
"Yeah, come on, Lee," said Zoey. "Shopping isn’t fun without you. If you want, I’m going to accept any punishment you give me."170Please respect copyright.PENANAYVhyrOoZgW
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ez65t6r81
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQubDUbVdtc
Lee raised an eyebrow. "You went too far this time," she said. "How sure are you that I’m going to forgive you?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAUGPpcVujgS
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkegqpc0LSA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUIMHkXNc4q
"Because you see me every day, and staying mad at me is pointless," Zoey answered.170Please respect copyright.PENANAf3oF7cw0SG
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmrwREMq7qd
170Please respect copyright.PENANArgdffTg9RD
"I couldn’t have thought of a better answer," said Daniel.170Please respect copyright.PENANAmRGIPK6s1O
170Please respect copyright.PENANABcuHDCzNbD
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPIRTINqXSU
"Smart," said Lee. "But you’ll need a lot more than that to convince me to go shopping with you."170Please respect copyright.PENANAxW7V7E4fiD
170Please respect copyright.PENANAph1KS5cUzE
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGlAFeQzpsl
Zoey turned to look at me, and I shook my head, telling her that even I don’t know what Lee wants. It’s best she figures that out for herself.170Please respect copyright.PENANAo2vrIrOm3S
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPOKWwFruHp
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfatSA4q7Fm
"Come on, you guys," said Jungkook, who now came over by the booth. "We’re in Hongdae. We can’t let this opportunity slide. I can guarantee that we’re going to have a lot of fun."170Please respect copyright.PENANAQWdM4dPfRP
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4jpIXZeywZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbKD1VSKmIm
"Come on, Lee," said Christine. "Jungkook does have a point. Who knows if we will ever get to come back here with the busy schedule that we have? Let’s take advantage of the situation."170Please respect copyright.PENANA3tFntNAWHz
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEx958HADOZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6AYsUpvjK7
Everyone else started to chip in, doing his or her best to convince Lee. In the end, she gave in.170Please respect copyright.PENANAhP83SBAeoe
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYbfdvLxLWR
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzhRDJkQGlM
"Okay, fine," said Lee. "But let’s remember to keep a low profile. We don’t want to attract attention to yourselves."170Please respect copyright.PENANA1QsTOdYCfL
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1PWiuoQ8Au
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiqLrTM3nm0
"Yes!" Zoey cheered loudly. "I knew you would come around."170Please respect copyright.PENANAJPyQujwHKd
170Please respect copyright.PENANADlTQZZJCid
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlyFSRYoGa4
"I’m only doing this because Jimin, Jungkook, and Mino are here." Lee folded her arms as she looked the other way. "Don’t think you’re off the hook, Zoey."170Please respect copyright.PENANARbEosfzErC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl6HEHbKj0F
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQrPbgbmhzB
"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.170Please respect copyright.PENANA4LSHGYnCd3
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmMCBjpEzRn
170Please respect copyright.PENANARqItrrJ658
"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.170Please respect copyright.PENANAWjICm1euBA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdsBGdiAc5H
170Please respect copyright.PENANATyfT6GJQ3n
"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.170Please respect copyright.PENANAnBwLJTM9ir
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF1qFigMnvA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAH3baZ8Yejr
"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.170Please respect copyright.PENANAEpLYfDmDUM
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmA8xtFtPSt
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2JWgbmIbbr
"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.170Please respect copyright.PENANAYcEhKnyy9z
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21CA4qacc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUKZUGaTS0z
After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.170Please respect copyright.PENANAM7V9DvC8Gs
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQiRzmkttNB
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbSMvr9Gh5L
"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.170Please respect copyright.PENANAqzc6Lv40fc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ILVl8Khj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHw6Y60FSR8
"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."170Please respect copyright.PENANATXCCkNKABd
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3gG8PeOsdt
170Please respect copyright.PENANAD0m8Pkrc6a
"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.170Please respect copyright.PENANAgtQmqDtB2F
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlsOJJtWTZ6
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcar270B8i3
"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.170Please respect copyright.PENANAB11rkS3qQB
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsg8ZXMpvzN
170Please respect copyright.PENANAndN3vIJPRO
"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"170Please respect copyright.PENANA5NGUpFMM4H
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAEddHfN958
170Please respect copyright.PENANA50B0MzOAYO
The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?170Please respect copyright.PENANAJdxhss43Ix
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwetaAdzlI8
170Please respect copyright.PENANAtayuUjQCSR
"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."170Please respect copyright.PENANAT19WYN0R1N
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn47BCtpJ0C
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXScLWta8pr
"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."170Please respect copyright.PENANADvlW50D4gK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVh7PGvQr5z
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuecnLWRecH
"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."170Please respect copyright.PENANAihoYE8lBJo
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnc3qpK34JW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAx3UvRA651U
"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."170Please respect copyright.PENANA6TB3fmUqWy
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKCjxz6dLuL
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWlafEDJjBX
Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.170Please respect copyright.PENANAEdTuA1dFzh
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIZNNisbhzB
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7iqdkeLmqC
I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJUFvfSozkd
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsFZ5HCVJFx
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiuWvLonMPc
"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."170Please respect copyright.PENANAgPcSLzls0J
170Please respect copyright.PENANAb9CHTTYfiF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoWd1vho5SS
"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.170Please respect copyright.PENANAK4PfGaPP4p
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcvABpT4CjL
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbTUR7m36mH
The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.170Please respect copyright.PENANApHRGdD25ZV
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWrFC2hA3C3
170Please respect copyright.PENANACi6XMcdnBH
"It looks lovely," I commented.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJIcWpQgmUs
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxYFCnOBEJb
170Please respect copyright.PENANAw8bxd7omyX
"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.170Please respect copyright.PENANA7xLwsmPQJH
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMlUFIjECGH
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2eOzkAC6jB
"You should put it on, Sam," said Jimin.170Please respect copyright.PENANARU8TsAkTjW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkR3OCkwnMq
170Please respect copyright.PENANAmLjqJU1vpL
"I’ll help you put the blouse on," said Lee. "It can get a little complicated when you’re trying it out for the first time."170Please respect copyright.PENANAmu8L3DnVeK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAnT3t5pUlA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhA2KDU1C3H
"Yeah, I will need the help."170Please respect copyright.PENANAxo7pRMcCJo
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAQocDhO8rk
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxJnP8XKZZf
Jungkook handed the dress to me, and I followed Lee to the changing rooms. I could hear Zoey and Christine giggle as I walked away, and I knew they were obviously talking about the outfit that Jungkook so happened to pick out.170Please respect copyright.PENANA31bHVQbcc0
170Please respect copyright.PENANANrmxWYkk9j
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYk8kN71qGg
Lee and I came to the women’s dressing rooms and entered one of the empty stalls. It felt so good to take the hoodie and mask off. In addition, when I started to change into the Hanbok, I couldn’t help but notice just how comfortable it felt. After Lee tied the strings of the skirt behind my back, I turned to look at the full-length mirror. I can’t believe that I’m actually wearing a Hanbok.170Please respect copyright.PENANASSaMoLyWLD
170Please respect copyright.PENANAD6RztuQlfI
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkoqnWHQlPC
"Oh, you look so pretty," said Lee as she stood behind me. She glanced at me in the mirror as if I were some gorgeous doll she had dressed up. "Your mum will think you’re adorable once I send her a picture."170Please respect copyright.PENANAr0QxHD76IW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnlSY18RrCv
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwJOGsVlKPF
Lee pulled out her phone and did just that. I turned to look at her with a glare.170Please respect copyright.PENANApNLzqdquDP
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3ydiioWhTC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo1rAK3fsSE
"What?" Lee asked as she shrugged her shoulders. "It’s not my fault that you look pretty. Come on, the others are waiting to see you."170Please respect copyright.PENANAte7YV7tzol
170Please respect copyright.PENANAobdsx42jAd
170Please respect copyright.PENANABtRyn5kUgU
"Oh, before I go out..." I turned around to where I lay aside my clothes to look for the mask. However, Lee took hold of my shoulders to lead me out of the changing room.170Please respect copyright.PENANAFZbTmBEtu5
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOs8iwD6xB7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdFiDxCncgU
"There aren’t many people in the shop," she said. "Don’t worry about a thing. The others are waiting for you outside."170Please respect copyright.PENANAfP7Zy3fEhu
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9piXVB5m2I
170Please respect copyright.PENANALIpOHGYw27
Lee opened the door and led me out of the room. As expected, we found the others waiting outside the changing rooms. Christine and Zoey jumped with excitement as I appeared before them.170Please respect copyright.PENANAP7c1Bg7oF0
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4orCvsyOZC
170Please respect copyright.PENANArQpI6bv4Vl
"You look so pretty, Sam," commented Zoey as I found her approaching me. "I have to say, the Hanbok really suits you."170Please respect copyright.PENANATk5wu9yrw8
170Please respect copyright.PENANABDB4yWChKD
170Please respect copyright.PENANAs9CZw2yIC5
"Stop making me blush," I said as I nervously tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear.170Please respect copyright.PENANAhduZ5aL3ME
170Please respect copyright.PENANAl7SUWbwdbM
170Please respect copyright.PENANAi0vASaHvrF
"No, it’s true," said Mike. "You look really lovely. I can’t believe I just said that."170Please respect copyright.PENANAQ38mMgbLjL
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvyHPBviT7v
170Please respect copyright.PENANAcHdAzkAYqY
"Same here," I said, giving off a nervous laugh.170Please respect copyright.PENANApAZAqW8vaB
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqzejIci7vK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPTh3VwWsZo
"Mum is going to love this," said Daniel, who had already pulled out his phone to take a picture.170Please respect copyright.PENANAJOjgICagvA
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvqcIRA3ro0
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf1bZ4qltst
"I know, right?" Lee asked. "You definitely look adorable."170Please respect copyright.PENANANFR6g0RLaK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAObAXi3HP2t
170Please respect copyright.PENANAh98J0DhjfE
"You can say that again," said Mino as he smiled at me. "Once your fans see you, you’ll be the talk of the town."170Please respect copyright.PENANATWzwRbB8EL
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQST1XqPqOr
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGsv95O04Ta
"Yeah, I know that," I said. "Please don’t post the pictures you’ve taken so soon. I don’t want people to know right away that I’m here."170Please respect copyright.PENANAGcbFTBEu7k
170Please respect copyright.PENANAALiP6Thtxf
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjmiE5YpzIS
"Don’t worry," said Christine. "The last thing we need is for us to do what Zoey did when she filmed you with G-Dragon and the video went viral."170Please respect copyright.PENANAVej36DfY7P
170Please respect copyright.PENANAChet0yefhZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf2KSo1Xnnv
"Wait, that was you?" Mino asked, turning to look at Zoey.170Please respect copyright.PENANAlFt5fhYfUp
170Please respect copyright.PENANASX68i3PnLZ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAQWhRWl15py
Zoey folded her arms. "Yes," she answered, looking rather annoyed at Christine for bringing it up. "But I didn’t mean harm, and I did say I was never going to do that again."170Please respect copyright.PENANA2jwBvAAEr7
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2PAu1VFmhQ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAvy1moXyWra
I saw Daniel, Mike, and Christine give Zoey a look, and I knew what they were thinking. It’s funny how Zoey could’ve remembered that. She usually doesn't, and there are times when you have to remind her. Anyway, it hasn't been too long since the incident happened.170Please respect copyright.PENANA7u8snBCNQl
170Please respect copyright.PENANAt4sQSqvYgc
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZzCP649Fk
"Smile here for the camera," said Jimin as he also had his phone out to take a picture. "You really did good choosing this Hanbok for her, Jungkook."170Please respect copyright.PENANAwlDuu8Ndf9
170Please respect copyright.PENANABJsoC4pC2l
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8at2WB6LU4
All Jungkook could do was smile under that facemask of his, which wasn’t hard to notice; just like everyone else, he was looking at me. The look in his eyes showed that he was proud of himself for picking out the Hanbok.170Please respect copyright.PENANAuRCfRn2PjP
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8iADxEnPNg
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3mUXzQ4lM
"Thanks so much for picking this outfit for me, Jungkook," I said. "It’s really lovely. Not to mention that I just love the color purple."170Please respect copyright.PENANARATIVnuvWP
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8c2zvdBmmj
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8ShIaNkssI
"Don’t mention it," said Jungkook. "I remembered that it's your favorite color."170Please respect copyright.PENANA3L4IxcYagY
170Please respect copyright.PENANAae4f9YhIbo
170Please respect copyright.PENANAB5oWWtCtmx
I blushed, and for some reason, I thought of quickly turning away, especially when Christine and Zoey nudged at each other. I wish I could hit them on the head to stop them from mocking me.170Please respect copyright.PENANAyxgzm60yh7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwBdWUJLHf6
170Please respect copyright.PENANALSWPJjKW6o
"Oh, yes, it is," said Mino. "You must really be a fanboy." He nudged Jungkook with his elbow.170Please respect copyright.PENANApHaxIaCnCj
170Please respect copyright.PENANATFt9aLg1Zo
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuXXoHYFEP9
"No, I’m not," Jungkook replied shyly. "I just so happened to come across that once online; that’s all it is."170Please respect copyright.PENANA8rER41hZUg
170Please respect copyright.PENANAnN57A5QXZE
170Please respect copyright.PENANABvjNIULv3k
"I better go change," I said. This is getting embarrassing. "Are you all done with taking pictures?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAa8BFOzeqUf
170Please respect copyright.PENANAKh93Mj5j4H
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1PwAIhGmPK
Zoey and Christine replied no. As though they were photographers, they quickly took pictures. Others thought of taking photos with me still dressed in the Hanbok. Each person took a picture with me. Then we all took a photo together, with Mino being the one holding the camera and taking the selfie with everyone behind him.170Please respect copyright.PENANANyVpjw1g1q
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoIPXFOu84B
170Please respect copyright.PENANA6fGOJEXdXv
Afterwards, I went to change back into my clothes, with Lee helping me out again. When we came out of the changing room, we found that the others had dispersed to different parts of the store. I heard Zoey and Christine talking over which traditional attire to choose from.170Please respect copyright.PENANAZDUL5xcI6o
170Please respect copyright.PENANAObHLLzCSNw
170Please respect copyright.PENANAIXpjd0Toj0
"Finding a Hanbok is going to be hard for those two," said Lee as her eyes also fell on the pair.170Please respect copyright.PENANA28vFPssyl7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwznYKCMNiT
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4iA54whd9v
I smiled. "Mine was a little easier, wasn’t it?" I asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANA81HyXRU5ga
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYWzmh9fzyx
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqT6y9NeVV3
"That’s because Jungkook found it." Lee looked at me. "Sometimes men know better than women when it comes to such things."170Please respect copyright.PENANArnak1HVQKf
170Please respect copyright.PENANATjkoB4LeHS
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdNrG4V75Ba
I would’ve agreed with her, but that sent me blushing somehow. It was sweet of Jungkook to find me such a pretty Hanbok. I just wish Zoey and Christine wouldn't mock me about it.170Please respect copyright.PENANAOSay8vpHHE
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVGZQKBo4vg
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzUqAoUCjyY
I told Lee that I would be going over to the counter to pay for the attire. She said she would accompany me.170Please respect copyright.PENANA5tDLJJCmBW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAwfElMqS3d8
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJlYw5wqohw
"Aren’t you going to find a Hanbok for yourself?" I asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAgKsT8nRo1M
170Please respect copyright.PENANAybkvB7JYYm
170Please respect copyright.PENANAivU9SBtT0O
"Nah," she replied. "They’re gorgeous to wear, but I’m just not interested like you were."170Please respect copyright.PENANAD1o7t5qbYj
170Please respect copyright.PENANAn61Li7o8hh
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdKgSV99rtv
"Point taken," I said.170Please respect copyright.PENANA119ZpuVDdK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbCK79lAj9w
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ndr38sC4k
When we got to the counter and paid for the Hanbok, the rest of the others joined us. I started to look around for Christine and Zoey, but they were nowhere near the female clothes section. Did they find outfits and decide to go try them?170Please respect copyright.PENANAVpsTJGkJZ5
170Please respect copyright.PENANA7bgRtU8JzM
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMcn7sElXGQ
"Has anyone seen Christine and Zoey?" I asked the others.170Please respect copyright.PENANAV5rPmQ5OdI

170Please respect copyright.PENANA8DkVuQ7Hx2
Jimin shook his head. "I wasn't paying attention," he answered.170Please respect copyright.PENANArj1y3sHyu7

"I’ll go and check on them," said Lee.170Please respect copyright.PENANAkSeKt3Gce1
170Please respect copyright.PENANAkwdAHqQTaU

"With that Hanbok, do you plan on buying the traditional shoes that match with it?" Mino asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAQsxLRJHqot
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOCwBnRGtuh
170Please respect copyright.PENANA05eCUjFLMT
"To be honest, I never thought of it," I said as I looked at the Hanbok, now packed in a black garment bag. "Maybe I should."170Please respect copyright.PENANAmcgItosvbW
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA6nUlSTZDF
170Please respect copyright.PENANArZ5HJ4p9Cw
A woman by the counter said, "There are some shoes that you can look at. I suggest you get the white ones to match the dress."170Please respect copyright.PENANAqKiFIksHvL
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbOD5RKo9MA
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8L3UkHLrfp
"I can help out if you like," Jungkook offered.170Please respect copyright.PENANAxUBRyrytHF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEs9Uxr8UZF
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZdWmQPGLtz
I gave him a nod of my head, and we went over to the shoe section, not far from the counter. Jimin and Mino had nothing to do, so they joined us. Mike and Daniel decided to look around a little.170Please respect copyright.PENANAKkiwv6cyN0
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf1XOzhmQik
170Please respect copyright.PENANAF0CIRfTOqH
With Jimin and Mino around, I discovered there were three types of women’s shoes that could go with a Hanbok. Kkotshin, which are silk shoes with flowery embroidery. Unhye are low-cut silk shoes decorated with cloud-shaped silk pieces. Then there are dinghy, which are low-cut leather shoes with scroll patterns. There were all pretty shoes, which made it difficult to pick. Even with the others’ help, they were having a hard time choosing. I noticed how much time had passed while looking for a pair of shoes and how long Lee had been gone to look for the girls.170Please respect copyright.PENANA7zipYvaoFx
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFSe2vMIatH
170Please respect copyright.PENANAWCoXNVGmNp
"I wonder what’s taking them so long," I said as I turned to look around. There was no sign of them anywhere.170Please respect copyright.PENANAZOp7ICZEca
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVOaNcpfFvx
170Please respect copyright.PENANALMrmwrD8JK
The others didn’t seem to hear me, as Jimin said that he might have found a shoe for me. Mino and Jungkook joined him to see what he had picked. He picked white kkotshin shoes.170Please respect copyright.PENANAz4hv9EGX8N
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYTg5Yp5jR6
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAXe5h2O5BW
"This will look great on you," said Mino. He checked the shoe size underneath it. "And it’s just your size. You should try it on."170Please respect copyright.PENANAxU2bQAak47
170Please respect copyright.PENANAan7U2W2dDc
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOAAYuyj2nu
I took my shoes off and put the white kkotshins on. They fit perfectly, and the gold flower embroidery on the shoes added a nice touch. It will suit the dress very well.170Please respect copyright.PENANAYd02sMD5rd
170Please respect copyright.PENANAefEQQjRl0E
170Please respect copyright.PENANAEoG2TwE2df
After removing the shoes and wearing my shoes again, I notice Mino looking around as though looking for something. He must be looking for Zoey and the others.170Please respect copyright.PENANA6ESYdlEYlY
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfqeEikTNk1
170Please respect copyright.PENANAXol2OiqNQi
"Hey, don’t you think the ladies have taken too long?" he asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAwBJY3TSWCk
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsuugrtxC6f
170Please respect copyright.PENANAUP1jyxGZZ9

Mino and Jungkook decided to come with me. Jimin said he would wait by the counter. We first went to the changing rooms. The two men waited outside while I went in. There were four changing rooms, two on either side. Three rooms were occupied, while one remained empty. I decided to call out to see if Zoey was here.170Please respect copyright.PENANAsURCnG3Kk7
170Please respect copyright.PENANAzE6R6NQ0XV
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeVLIwqKRon
"Zoey, are you here?" I called.170Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3K2pVADzG
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1mThfLSphv
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1AS5eHp2Xv
I didn’t get a response until I heard someone muttering; it sounded like Zoey. Likewise, I walked over to the door of the changing room, where I was hearing the noise, and knocked on the door.170Please respect copyright.PENANAllr2sqhcmM
170Please respect copyright.PENANAVwzzKegXUv
170Please respect copyright.PENANApX9P0JVlDO

"Sam, thank goodness," she responded. "Please come in. I can’t seem to get this blouse off, and it's killing me."170Please respect copyright.PENANAM3Wr819KqH
170Please respect copyright.PENANAfLurYioMlX
170Please respect copyright.PENANAoKJ6QagLr5
I rolled my eyes as I opened the door. For sure, I found Zoey struggling to get the blouse off. I helped her wear it again before properly removing it for her.170Please respect copyright.PENANAKBG8AQjRGy

"Yeah, she was. Then she went out, looking for Christine. I would’ve asked her to help me out, but then she went out because it’s been a while since Christine's been gone."170Please respect copyright.PENANAld2zgs640q
170Please respect copyright.PENANAA04fxkAhfV
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJLnjL7s54x
Strange. Where are the two of them now? I told Zoey that she would find me outside the changing room. I walk out, and not only do I find Mino and Jungkook, but Lee as well.170Please respect copyright.PENANARAKohhnQ2v

170Please respect copyright.PENANAs8WAcpXA2w
Lee still had a phone by her ear. A minute later, she shook her head and said, "She isn’t picking up her phone."170Please respect copyright.PENANAJDGMoybjHh

"Great. Zoey goes out to find Johnny, and now we have to deal with Christine going missing," said Mike. "Where has she gone?"170Please respect copyright.PENANA2QuzuWS3Um

Zoey rushed out of the changing rooms. She comes to stand beside me with the white and pink Hanbok in hand.170Please respect copyright.PENANAtVBpNz0JCI
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5C0WLkZaPK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAHqeauNalor

"She still isn’t picking up her phone," said Lee, now with a worried look on her face. "It’s not like her not to answer her phone."170Please respect copyright.PENANA8gMaCpEkR1
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2v7oNgfAB0
170Please respect copyright.PENANAsyzX8uhrE2
"Do you think Johnny found her, and she had to run?" Zoey asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAbpHod3tzks
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3ReuXkiV1P
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8SeCBkwHCM
We all turned to look at Zoey with weird looks. Why is she bringing Johnny up all of a sudden?170Please respect copyright.PENANAaQcpuCqLz4
170Please respect copyright.PENANADEYk1djFNw
170Please respect copyright.PENANAZkoYgczxmC
"Now you’re being paranoid," said Mino. "We all know where he went, and Hongdae is a big place. How can he have found Christine out of the blue?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAOa8VEmr60G
170Please respect copyright.PENANAR9fWm7VSTO
170Please respect copyright.PENANARuUDNUIqTA

170Please respect copyright.PENANAYVan7VlCmb

"It’s too early to assume anything," said Jungkook. "It looks like she went out without telling us where she was going."170Please respect copyright.PENANA6GMeVwh9aC
170Please respect copyright.PENANA2bSbGFh3Ue
170Please respect copyright.PENANAdwHzqf5lDX

170Please respect copyright.PENANAIqo1fSaW2f
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqvBhL8ZlWN
"Usually I wouldn’t. But she doesn’t know the area really well, so yeah, I would be worried."170Please respect copyright.PENANAR3owApfe8P
170Please respect copyright.PENANAJA0geUPfCI
170Please respect copyright.PENANANvKq88X050
"I just hope she is okay," I said. "Let’s go back to the dumpling shop, like Daniel suggested. If we’re lucky, then we’ll find her there."170Please respect copyright.PENANAokQd5vDXfF

170Please respect copyright.PENANAQvetIIO2E3
Everyone agreed, and we joined Jimin at the counter, who had already paid for my shoes. I told him he didn’t have to, but he insisted that it was the least he could do. Zoey decided to pay for the Hanbok she had picked. When Jimin asked Zoey if she was going to get some matching shoes too, she said she would come by later when we found Christine.170Please respect copyright.PENANA9bEfkTnqlN
170Please respect copyright.PENANAbiVxIrTbYF

170Please respect copyright.PENANASuptkVx6AZ
I was walking down the crowded Hongdae Street, thinking to myself, Sam and the others are going to murder me for abandoning them like that. My phone had beeped for a second time, and I found Lee was calling again. I can’t pick up and tell her where I am going. She would tell the others, and they would definitely come after me. I do hope they don’t worry about me too much. After the stunt Zoey pulled, my disappearing act might just put them on edge.170Please respect copyright.PENANApNcOvmpgaR
170Please respect copyright.PENANA5g5fPkM4es

Then why am I out here?170Please respect copyright.PENANAWQZcDgSvae
170Please respect copyright.PENANAPNYhcmE8Hs
170Please respect copyright.PENANATR1WIfFIkc
Simple, really. While I was helping dress Zoey into the Hanbok, I received a text from Jinwoo. I told Zoey that I would be right back and texted him back. He was asking where I was, and I told him about Hongdae Street and finding Zoey. It so happens that he was also around the area and wanted us to meet. I didn’t want to tell anyone, for they might make fun of me, and that’s why I left like I did.170Please respect copyright.PENANASp5JTRyZXb
170Please respect copyright.PENANAYV2dEeF3G6
170Please respect copyright.PENANAGuU4mUmHXY
Jinwoo gave me directions to where he was, and I noticed that the place had many restaurants and small outdoor eating venues. I don’t know why, but meeting him made me feel a little nervous and excited at the same time. It isn’t normal, is it?170Please respect copyright.PENANAQbAy0h4Wtt
170Please respect copyright.PENANABCLhyaWQUD
170Please respect copyright.PENANA8bdi1QQTBz
I finally arrived at the outdoor restaurant. The brightly lit bulbs that lit the place and the green leaf decoration that acted as a roof above the restaurant made it look spontaneous. It didn’t take long to spot Jinwoo sitting on the table in the middle of the restaurant. There weren’t many people around, so he easily noticed me as well. He stood up from his chair as I walked over.170Please respect copyright.PENANA2XLGXdt207
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlB6T6r3xGJ
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqImTkCtXIt

170Please respect copyright.PENANAV5NCSBU3o3
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0REvLkxUBy

170Please respect copyright.PENANAlxD97IMfUX
170Please respect copyright.PENANAFQY9R1rnfQ
I sat down, and he went over to take his seat. We sat facing each other, and I couldn’t help but blush. I still wore the disguise, and I’m surprised that Jinwoo recognized me. He also wore a black mask covering the lower part of his face, and I can’t help but notice the blue jean jacket and black shirt that he wore with matching black jeans and white canvas shoes. He looked so cool. Why am I blushing so much?170Please respect copyright.PENANA4ctJ9pggPz
170Please respect copyright.PENANAhHQWYgqh1H
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqLcSJDw0wl
"The others aren’t going to be worried about you disappearing on them, are they?" Jinwoo asked.170Please respect copyright.PENANAhywsO9W5b3
170Please respect copyright.PENANA0txcMyJLoW
170Please respect copyright.PENANA4WrMYtKjTu
"Nah." I playfully shook my head. "They will be fine. I bet they think I went over to the dumpling shop and will be back soon."170Please respect copyright.PENANAyvvh3obsZa
170Please respect copyright.PENANAc6aMr2XRvK
170Please respect copyright.PENANAlgDJDKkQv6
"Anyway," said Jinwoo as he picked up the menu on the table. "Let’s order before it gets too late. There’s a special Korean cuisine that I would like for you to try out. Will that be fine?"170Please respect copyright.PENANAdg3CmCCyCC
170Please respect copyright.PENANA9h9CErZ45t
170Please respect copyright.PENANAiL42kjF2Hl
"Ah." I was caught absentminded for a bit, as I couldn’t stop staring at Jinwoo. When he asked, his eyes found mine staring at him, and I felt like hiding under the table in embarrassment. I cleared my throat to answer. "Yeah, sure."170Please respect copyright.PENANALsd00uEtM2
170Please respect copyright.PENANAj1fwN1nmvC
170Please respect copyright.PENANAjSUfnTIJ2G
I could tell Jinwoo was smiling at me under that mask. He turned to look for the waiter nearby. There was one behind him, and he called out for his attention. The waiter came over, and he talked politely in Korean as Jinwoo made the order.170Please respect copyright.PENANAdkZ7Npq4o9
170Please respect copyright.PENANAMbV48GG926
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAo3bB4Xmly
With all that is going on, I couldn’t help but blush so much, and my heart beat fast with each dying minute. This whole thing felt more like a date. Is it? I don’t think so, but I wonder what Jinwoo thinks of this. Maybe I shouldn’t ask. Gosh, I swallowed as I tried to prevent a squeal from leaving my mouth.170Please respect copyright.PENANAmBeWlnWXUv
