"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAOKSg6aTcxA
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."850Please respect copyright.PENANAFBIm3br3MK
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAdKAkSxO3zh
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."850Please respect copyright.PENANAbFLmaj5vrQ
Collins laughed. "Are 850Please respect copyright.PENANAyRM3Wd0dhq
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 850Please respect copyright.PENANA1EWAHprLpP
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."850Please respect copyright.PENANA6l3kOZrgfE
Zoey looked at me with a hopeless look on her face. I on the other hand wasn't giving up. I turned to look at Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANALc4HGbWKif
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAxWiMCyUQzt
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"850Please respect copyright.PENANA29kFXiDQim
I didn't answer him right away as I answered Mike, "let's not make it a Mexican party, Mike. We can leave it out."850Please respect copyright.PENANAHu1OWrC3BM
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."850Please respect copyright.PENANAcTWjAYgeLI
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.850Please respect copyright.PENANApCDjG2jpRa
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.850Please respect copyright.PENANA7s6cyLsxEi
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.850Please respect copyright.PENANAtegpLN2gA9
"Gosh, what to do with 850Please respect copyright.PENANAZZrm8GARrN
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 850Please respect copyright.PENANATkOS9F4i3o
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 850Please respect copyright.PENANAgAROZ5W9Oe
end up in a cell."850Please respect copyright.PENANAnM9nG72V2O
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."850Please respect copyright.PENANAOxKd9rVsCe
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAPUOg83lPiN
"We promise," said Zoey.850Please respect copyright.PENANA3nBzf6niLR
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.850Please respect copyright.PENANAHWdjeswzp1
"Well, that went well," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANA2UTc2xpVvH
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAuWi3Pbi8oq
"There was nothing he 850Please respect copyright.PENANAcwnPr5RCuf
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 850Please respect copyright.PENANAephVkPerz2
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He850Please respect copyright.PENANAb4WOL4jxLZ
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.850Please respect copyright.PENANA7pgxAdYZRN
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANAdt3vqpwhDj
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.850Please respect copyright.PENANAz8thLtEuvN
The five of us all came 850Please respect copyright.PENANASTFo0uFzJN
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 850Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZTrcZCaS
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.850Please respect copyright.PENANAKQTWztodOr
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.850Please respect copyright.PENANAVNl2QBta5E
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAwAvN2jo4IQ
"I think we should stick together," said Christine. "We can't split up and just buy what we want. We didn't even make a list."850Please respect copyright.PENANABLx6KFrc7n
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.850Please respect copyright.PENANAmkaTYCJfFC
"Okay, then sticking 850Please respect copyright.PENANADMVGEj2lSo
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till850Please respect copyright.PENANAvvqPTtKJlJ
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."850Please respect copyright.PENANARXxw9TCHg9
To make our shopping 850Please respect copyright.PENANAnxeDZlL7w2
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 850Please respect copyright.PENANAUpJ3YNdS3x
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 850Please respect copyright.PENANAxMm8hszRss
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 850Please respect copyright.PENANA9RFK7jJGSV
the shelves when he wasn't looking.850Please respect copyright.PENANAjWE6EIYgkw
We even got red 850Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fyxbMulF
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 850Please respect copyright.PENANAjlyNQ8vXTF
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 850Please respect copyright.PENANAaNCcJsRVE4
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 850Please respect copyright.PENANA5Aa10xZaPD
though she seems not to show it sometimes.850Please respect copyright.PENANAgvl7bqdhG1
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.850Please respect copyright.PENANAB3s08gA9zj
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANA7EzUTdROIH
"Oh, I'm scared for 850Please respect copyright.PENANA42VdCss0Wl
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 850Please respect copyright.PENANApJCJaZepl6
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAT2xLqGZRgz
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."850Please respect copyright.PENANAMPeBmcmp25
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."850Please respect copyright.PENANAvM6HF1tm2S
Mike did just that and 850Please respect copyright.PENANADmNs4mVE9o
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 850Please respect copyright.PENANAnvYCMpE5Kz
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.850Please respect copyright.PENANAscF1I0Fysv
Christine came to me with red party hats.850Please respect copyright.PENANA8WSeri5FEo
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAn3PQLustf5
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."850Please respect copyright.PENANA0nkcU37YVB
"In case what?"850Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vy53qUd1L
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."850Please respect copyright.PENANAcNKrLiP4gl
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."850Please respect copyright.PENANAgdzxiY0wIY
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.850Please respect copyright.PENANAoXllsPlonI
"Lee is calling," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANAB8LXY6YvYN
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.850Please respect copyright.PENANAdNwqqc3zwW
"You guys just never 850Please respect copyright.PENANA1HtYhX1sg5
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 850Please respect copyright.PENANAy6gKPfDDXn
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 850Please respect copyright.PENANAjGMkkOwWXJ
you're throwing a party."850Please respect copyright.PENANAc8FDTkv9cA
"Ya, we are," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANAgtfjPnWxw7
"All I wanted was for 850Please respect copyright.PENANAjTkVYB78tl
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a850Please respect copyright.PENANAhomdRtAIaP
party out of the blue because you wanted to."850Please respect copyright.PENANAv0j1v0VWKb
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.850Please respect copyright.PENANA8qWIVV9q0w
"Don't tell me, save if 850Please respect copyright.PENANA66b5OqNLHY
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 850Please respect copyright.PENANABwhYIM6uid
don't help, Collins might just fire me."850Please respect copyright.PENANAphFxwYukUV
"You know he wouldn't." I850Please respect copyright.PENANApva9oqwFJR
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 850Please respect copyright.PENANAeBf27ym0EL
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 850Please respect copyright.PENANAQIqezcYHZ7
beauty salon at all."850Please respect copyright.PENANAdt40nw72t2
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.850Please respect copyright.PENANAlTI8Fw6uUl
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."850Please respect copyright.PENANAL2teHYMfLX
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."850Please respect copyright.PENANAyahP10ABlY
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."850Please respect copyright.PENANAeih0VenDVS
"Sure they can. It's not850Please respect copyright.PENANAREKJ5swQtB
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 850Please respect copyright.PENANAfhwW2ldqfw
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 850Please respect copyright.PENANAI56NLTgc0t
call them." 850Please respect copyright.PENANAFswB6ZO1o1
"Ya, you do that."850Please respect copyright.PENANAXQsIXCtn9H
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."850Please respect copyright.PENANAaJIZfZgxIL
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."850Please respect copyright.PENANALGyQ3bEQLn
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAjxSrUGKvgf
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."850Please respect copyright.PENANAubYIjCgLbc
"Red? Why red?"850Please respect copyright.PENANALnvvxR60VD
"Well, it's the theme for the party."850Please respect copyright.PENANA73GHAhbT9P
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."850Please respect copyright.PENANAB8tMlhTNlW
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."850Please respect copyright.PENANAhl33Q4f62H
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAvOo0RjDSsf
"Mmmm baking cakes is a lot of work. A cake would be nice but I bet these guys would expect a big one for the party."850Please respect copyright.PENANATCmlvbj5WQ
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."850Please respect copyright.PENANASTL7qwbf9g
"Thanks, Lee."850Please respect copyright.PENANAt3q88zBHbc
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAsgm5f7KpQ3
Lee cut the line and I 850Please respect copyright.PENANAwjGsVAcXFD
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike850Please respect copyright.PENANANncPAMBgOC
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 850Please respect copyright.PENANAD0n57c6iAb
into them with the trolley.850Please respect copyright.PENANA39fIJnvQrb
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANAlIf0tKVktA
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANA09rbUQhpkt
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAvbT1kTRRMy
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.850Please respect copyright.PENANA2E6otll6Xi
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."850Please respect copyright.PENANAbJWWMbpQ4B
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.850Please respect copyright.PENANAlzZDgFvsS5
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANAkRagRTyDcU
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANA36b29UbkcI
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"850Please respect copyright.PENANATcddfqOXNl
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."850Please respect copyright.PENANANgGaDfM2Z0
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.850Please respect copyright.PENANAmXtRgV7DwW
"Aren't we almost done 850Please respect copyright.PENANAvl8zgcjwt1
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 850Please respect copyright.PENANA4M0jDULGFr
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."850Please respect copyright.PENANADXx5DJg4Br
"I think we got all that850Please respect copyright.PENANAKbINakmCxF
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 850Please respect copyright.PENANAWOy0OK3IiC
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."850Please respect copyright.PENANAbIr7EZSYpb
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."850Please respect copyright.PENANAaxePYYHM1d
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."850Please respect copyright.PENANA4h5BaL8QPv
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAF1ndukMESD
"Did someone say cake?" 850Please respect copyright.PENANAiXzadGJwpq
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 850Please respect copyright.PENANAjaLYJtnhe8
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."850Please respect copyright.PENANAK58vtqdDTB
My two brothers appeared from the last aisles with red party streamers as they sang Flo Rida's song "Cake", "I only came for the cake. Ca-ca-ca-cake Ca-ca-ca-cake!"850Please respect copyright.PENANATo0BtSrtSE
"Okay, looks like I 850Please respect copyright.PENANAvEkP5ciqin
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 850Please respect copyright.PENANA6W4hfwwNBd
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.850Please respect copyright.PENANAEMHb6y1UDd
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.850Please respect copyright.PENANARmtPQiViPq
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.850Please respect copyright.PENANAvrDqOggPfs
"No one knows," said 850Please respect copyright.PENANASjwdGutuZT
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 850Please respect copyright.PENANA2aSLycmvAn
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."850Please respect copyright.PENANA2B1SHjVXtp
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.850Please respect copyright.PENANAQfgVvkhVUW
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANAeVyKpgxGk2
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANAkv2hw0icWO
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.850Please respect copyright.PENANAlRBWVs6D3q
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAucEKmHyW9e
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."850Please respect copyright.PENANA6JZ74CZIsf
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.850Please respect copyright.PENANAgYrUicuQn9
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.850Please respect copyright.PENANAWNOtW52Vmi
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"850Please respect copyright.PENANABPJpxZYC0d
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.850Please respect copyright.PENANAQSRGEIRuVI
"Okay, let's pay and put all this in the car. We will only have forty minutes to get clothes and whatever that is red."850Please respect copyright.PENANAGOXvyZxRD8
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANAE37prm4Qzp
We quickly went straight850Please respect copyright.PENANAoWpRyzv17n
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly850Please respect copyright.PENANAKaTzM2YNFl
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 850Please respect copyright.PENANAoMwzpU11mC
easily by passersby.850Please respect copyright.PENANA2OUhQQpoZu
As soon as we were done 850Please respect copyright.PENANA9mxfjVgzzw
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we850Please respect copyright.PENANAeJRwN4kqvR
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 850Please respect copyright.PENANAOktYb8CLES
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 850Please respect copyright.PENANAwBfibkOmqN
another.850Please respect copyright.PENANAFCW0kvO0ky
Surprisingly, as many 850Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWOGfIKDQ
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 850Please respect copyright.PENANALTde6B61by
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 850Please respect copyright.PENANAFEYA9t3zSt
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.850Please respect copyright.PENANAo8aciOEbAX
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 850Please respect copyright.PENANAMPiUmHLlkz
to come out with were red shoes.850Please respect copyright.PENANAAzaHM7S4A9
"This is getting 850Please respect copyright.PENANAI3pKbX2eBH
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a850Please respect copyright.PENANA2iI4v7a7wP
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 850Please respect copyright.PENANAMbLNcX5Luk
can't seem to find the right outfit."850Please respect copyright.PENANAu9qCm6WMgh
"Shouldn't we have just 850Please respect copyright.PENANAiyFLhZ0fVZ
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw850Please respect copyright.PENANAmsdsLRwhPf
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."850Please respect copyright.PENANAT3vqcuz9i4
"You would have looked like a fairy," I said. I knew the dress she was talking about. She couldn't get her eyes off it.850Please respect copyright.PENANAd3KhuUZwyu
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.850Please respect copyright.PENANAEZPIXteIoO
"I feel so too," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANA1vAanj1xFy
"You know the offer is 850Please respect copyright.PENANAiueboqgdW5
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 850Please respect copyright.PENANA6xprs5r5oY
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.850Please respect copyright.PENANA56UCdR89dO
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."850Please respect copyright.PENANAar2PxgvQv7
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."850Please respect copyright.PENANAUbGMChz3Vt
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."850Please respect copyright.PENANAj0p2vOxlmH
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."850Please respect copyright.PENANAIOgGR0e9P8
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.850Please respect copyright.PENANA6x4O74VT39
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAWRt1TF1MbN
"No, I'm calling Lee. 850Please respect copyright.PENANAleV7TP2gur
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 850Please respect copyright.PENANAo03RNCFta1
phone began to ring at the under end.850Please respect copyright.PENANAIsnFun7QEo
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAJRLXs7FMts
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAxXlckvzhzX
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.850Please respect copyright.PENANALZDx8LSa2J
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAIZBMooDnih
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAjZvWyq8Otd
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"850Please respect copyright.PENANACzjJUE3sZj
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."850Please respect copyright.PENANAldfPhKh1MG
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."850Please respect copyright.PENANApj2N7vezzJ
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"850Please respect copyright.PENANASLEqtk4b2a
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."850Please respect copyright.PENANARIu68ASRbl
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.850Please respect copyright.PENANAaoejfRQker
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.850Please respect copyright.PENANA9yFlSltgeK
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANAAeBcFIJoOq
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANAiDieh0QwgG
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."850Please respect copyright.PENANAivS8129BSO
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.850Please respect copyright.PENANADoUcAeCLUU
"Well, lucky her," said 850Please respect copyright.PENANAmRVxHeja7c
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 850Please respect copyright.PENANAhxB9lCcKcc
like she found what she was looking for."850Please respect copyright.PENANAhT0CbA5DsY
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.850Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rf49EduiU
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 850Please respect copyright.PENANAsvYS3xdL8x
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 850Please respect copyright.PENANA1pXgGTeVEh
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.850Please respect copyright.PENANAx7mTcW9ENw
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."850Please respect copyright.PENANAi7n2K83mzb
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.850Please respect copyright.PENANAEMyHrd7cSd
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.850Please respect copyright.PENANApt93pXTzvu
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANANzYolSToqZ
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.850Please respect copyright.PENANAYIRAXSzbn3
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."850Please respect copyright.PENANATwLnfA8eMM
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.850Please respect copyright.PENANAqqZgB40e35
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANADUfCjYV7Wg
"Maybe it's because we didn't find a nice fancy boutique like this one," I answered as I noticed a red and white dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANAjkL49EGYD5
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."850Please respect copyright.PENANAZaivgcQZzK
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."850Please respect copyright.PENANAO62O79pCm6
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."850Please respect copyright.PENANAwvy4p9SdVh
I kept on looking in the850Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfwYdBrNh
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 850Please respect copyright.PENANA9qNGZqWzCA
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAHdyS7NBIJ8
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.850Please respect copyright.PENANAOx5PjhUIWv
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.850Please respect copyright.PENANAIL3TbMeDAU
"I like it," said 850Please respect copyright.PENANArQBJhhxO1X
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And850Please respect copyright.PENANAK1iQSri5z5
they are really going to match with your heels."850Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZMepL2ZRL
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.850Please respect copyright.PENANAqP8KNsAoBD
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.850Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZvJ1DJyHc
"I didn't ask for your 850Please respect copyright.PENANAG4WMU2CGIa
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 850Please respect copyright.PENANAwMBos0rqpS
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."850Please respect copyright.PENANANl1WJnO9kq
"But I bet she looked more prettier."850Please respect copyright.PENANAOkzfiK3hF1
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.850Please respect copyright.PENANAg3FaniDkui
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."850Please respect copyright.PENANAzX7ZqxbZkZ
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.850Please respect copyright.PENANAQay4Yqn9hD
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANAIykumINH96
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.850Please respect copyright.PENANA4pX8oinMCr
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANA6fHTGj3xxe
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.850Please respect copyright.PENANAPxQ6IyGnOM
Christine ran off to the850Please respect copyright.PENANA0PjUKcoXuz
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 850Please respect copyright.PENANAYOodmY5Mho
her hand and back in her usual clothes.850Please respect copyright.PENANAbSgx82yvTy
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.850Please respect copyright.PENANAEapostqlV2
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.850Please respect copyright.PENANAF6mdNwfvdF
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."850Please respect copyright.PENANAKfFDZED9PK
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."850Please respect copyright.PENANAzIb8PgazeK
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.850Please respect copyright.PENANA1oIym2dSiK
"I feel the last four 850Please respect copyright.PENANAZKzusX6ucf
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 850Please respect copyright.PENANAx2LfbS24i6
out a red top that didn't feel right still.850Please respect copyright.PENANAxOOtzpgjj1
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."850Please respect copyright.PENANAYI4ERkIVG2
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."850Please respect copyright.PENANA68e7fn1TYG
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."850Please respect copyright.PENANAtZyueqqMA0
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANAWOIBbxnqWI
"True," said Zoey from the counter.850Please respect copyright.PENANAKLNzFvLquj
"You can do it well 850Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWxKk0Hpv
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 850Please respect copyright.PENANAns6W7QvmJk
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 850Please respect copyright.PENANAmbA90SSimF
rack.850Please respect copyright.PENANAqd0Faoa17e
"And you don't have to 850Please respect copyright.PENANAenui76Ru42
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 850Please respect copyright.PENANAVTWGuVsvVn
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."850Please respect copyright.PENANA7l4u7WBvtX
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANAcocTcwNACZ
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAaAWM2FEhe2
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.850Please respect copyright.PENANAVD0qWCfXtc
"Me neither," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANA8UpRhxXD8O
"Well, now you know," said Lee.850Please respect copyright.PENANAlRcdn0pf76
"Gosh, there is nothing 850Please respect copyright.PENANAC49QgNesoy
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 850Please respect copyright.PENANAADXUTxNG6X
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.850Please respect copyright.PENANA3K76ALtJiK
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.850Please respect copyright.PENANA1gEqpLDIsm
"Let me go in the last aisle."850Please respect copyright.PENANAdX98CfAJNh
Just as I was about to 850Please respect copyright.PENANAVWG7aaGIbI
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I850Please respect copyright.PENANApvhAl54VWu
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 850Please respect copyright.PENANA03SkInLthZ
backwards.850Please respect copyright.PENANA9Abuxycq5h
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.850Please respect copyright.PENANACVPDDxuzrI
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.850Please respect copyright.PENANAmKr6wrXbyU
"Sam, what is it?" Lee asked as she came over to me. She probably hadn't seen me bump into the person in front of me.850Please respect copyright.PENANALhq3ycZTc4
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.850Please respect copyright.PENANA5BNbHIdLlN
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."850Please respect copyright.PENANAYEeHDMgT79
I looked at the person 850Please respect copyright.PENANAtB8Ao6sXba
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 850Please respect copyright.PENANAJkCqvj2gW3
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.850Please respect copyright.PENANAkYqxbpZQUw
"Hey," said Zoey as she 850Please respect copyright.PENANAzBnirF6bjj
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,850Please respect copyright.PENANAe6yJ8PXVqA
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 850Please respect copyright.PENANANya7lzcwGV
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.850Please respect copyright.PENANAcMOIty9BMP
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."850Please respect copyright.PENANAfaW3jCn8Bx
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.850Please respect copyright.PENANAw8rjtwcltI
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.850Please respect copyright.PENANAoP9EQ8gkx4
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.850Please respect copyright.PENANA853huMRSHW
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.850Please respect copyright.PENANAqtiewRspRy
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.850Please respect copyright.PENANAJg0C8AhDpE
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.850Please respect copyright.PENANAbPXAMeq61a
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.850Please respect copyright.PENANA6x1wGgJxML
Immediately my two 850Please respect copyright.PENANACo7H5BFKXh
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 850Please respect copyright.PENANAcDtVeKlLr2
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.850Please respect copyright.PENANAyaswx1YGzi
Then all of the sudden, a850Please respect copyright.PENANAvZIdXFtmC7
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 850Please respect copyright.PENANAv4BIMovuXs
was coming from. It was Christine.850Please respect copyright.PENANAzhTDXlRZdW
She quickly covered her 850Please respect copyright.PENANAd4DPe6qA1G
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 850Please respect copyright.PENANAGThmtOfhsX
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.850Please respect copyright.PENANAONARaUb5QI
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANASgX2k3jg4g
"Spare her," said 850Please respect copyright.PENANARx8cX5xDnX
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 850Please respect copyright.PENANAy8ZB7fdi70
ourselves contained when we see famous people."850Please respect copyright.PENANAC3rVgIrn9a
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."850Please respect copyright.PENANAqTW7xGxhS4
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.850Please respect copyright.PENANAUr3NpRn5mG
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Xr1QXm18
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.850Please respect copyright.PENANAUSdQtFdV7W
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."850Please respect copyright.PENANAJybzC7rM3s
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"850Please respect copyright.PENANAVnD9II7zQZ
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.850Please respect copyright.PENANAwcHAI7Khlw
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANA8LSkiSIZ0E
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."850Please respect copyright.PENANAG8zff31vwd
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.850Please respect copyright.PENANAcuWsrfLAv3
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAU6ij3RQqRM
"I already did, thanks. 850Please respect copyright.PENANAnvtu7YJwQ2
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 850Please respect copyright.PENANAuHAnt7kcny
to go back and prepare for the party."850Please respect copyright.PENANAZhTEOz6mSA
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.850Please respect copyright.PENANA5hFBz7v4dO
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.850Please respect copyright.PENANA3yRqQVLopA
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.850Please respect copyright.PENANAg6MLO38PU0
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.850Please respect copyright.PENANAzw90p8bC4e
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."850Please respect copyright.PENANA8xkjNbE8ha
Joy turned around and I 850Please respect copyright.PENANAfobmyv9yQe
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 850Please respect copyright.PENANAQt3lSZba10
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 850Please respect copyright.PENANAyn0h8OqK7q
she drew out the one she was looking for.850Please respect copyright.PENANAt4UPHuyhHE
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."850Please respect copyright.PENANAFSZvVcGkcr
She gave me a red short 850Please respect copyright.PENANAkDKiUM2K3d
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I850Please respect copyright.PENANADtcQBAQsdU
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.850Please respect copyright.PENANA9pmbwmvUjT
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.850Please respect copyright.PENANAWlU8A17X1M
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."850Please respect copyright.PENANA8nEFjQjHAx
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."850Please respect copyright.PENANAqXnH5mZmPo
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.850Please respect copyright.PENANAfJcBEbyiM6
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.850Please respect copyright.PENANAWI39GYvDKe
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."850Please respect copyright.PENANAV7oEvknHON
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."850Please respect copyright.PENANA3VnQHGDXEj
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.850Please respect copyright.PENANAIx9FtEqAeW
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.850Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y3kRpzHZA
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.850Please respect copyright.PENANAYOjJQWopxz
"As much as we would love to hang out with you guys at your party, I'm afraid we have to go back to the studio," said Irene.850Please respect copyright.PENANAgIU3NHE2Mr
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."850Please respect copyright.PENANAMnLgQL6u23
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."850Please respect copyright.PENANAi3K2IrQbEh
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.850Please respect copyright.PENANAUXugsKsSZG
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.850Please respect copyright.PENANAANPRhH9lfH
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."850Please respect copyright.PENANAg0tJDepOMH
"Really?" I looked at the size of the dress by the tag at the back of it. "Even if it is, what if it's too big on me?"850Please respect copyright.PENANAbJvlssV4aR
"Whenever I get you a dress, I never check the size because I know you perfectly. We have to go. We don't have much time."850Please respect copyright.PENANAd9cxupSTfW
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.850Please respect copyright.PENANALOoNSXx9IB
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.850Please respect copyright.PENANANt3E4FH5Zt
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.850Please respect copyright.PENANAUrpiGJB0dT
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."850Please respect copyright.PENANAyvIRJIqjdJ
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.850Please respect copyright.PENANAsj0PCQkYNP
