"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbthMzpWPSS
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkTFafLgZy
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XO8Cc0tMs
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Xc4DMWHU
Collins laughed. "Are 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZZzVQK5AW
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOP0uzzDSE
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YrDizS1t
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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEGOWpLs10
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMmKoVMmV3
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h9vORZrF7
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."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhIdBjhFX
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmMDXb9sLr
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2YdxVOxc
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0LXBs70yw
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LafcF2Ya
"Gosh, what to do with 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMGEXrMHZt
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOTfBiXGJA
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRqIcKSKRM
end up in a cell."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqJzn6xGRe
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqbpysZBH7
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJaZAqZAtS
"We promise," said Zoey.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPCbIz0rTo
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp1HoMoxxp
"Well, that went well," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3IFIPOptu
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbp0Wn4XRR
"There was nothing he 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmHy3zVFTU
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIDGtdUXD
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHx9Yy3nWf
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGmtbgaaaN
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLMXnrh6y
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvpWIAIn8
The five of us all came 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBS4WnIlAm
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjdIhzSQz4
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX794ZEnmQ
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXqi61UoD8
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWNckYwoMw
"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."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGt1voqJou
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjHKsMlAw4
"Okay, then sticking 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraj3vjUaF9
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQq2tpGFrA
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaygiR8SCPN
To make our shopping 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpcKN5P0Vo
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFmYHTdJ1
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjw8kkerI8
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hdJIoXswk
the shelves when he wasn't looking.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BWJHuAxKi
We even got red 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAbfeya0Gk
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY6qZouJWr
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hpGmLMxWP
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14mLWSSpSC
though she seems not to show it sometimes.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxLiMC9fAd
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnInYew6kq
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBab4WbWHQ
"Oh, I'm scared for 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C3rnFQ3oG
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiPpDxyyRi
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlAmscmIhe
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dV46EXACF
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1BcGqUDtB
Mike did just that and 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UWky9pG0V
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSV8LqGZYW
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrCZGcfYog
Christine came to me with red party hats.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3K6on8MWc
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33GUKjzDgJ
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhYwgRLvhB
"In case what?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9aDoEdrW
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyilWS4scbb
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuDERcqBMI
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLJ2cxnzch
"Lee is calling," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR8YWN5Moe
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPze7eLQLl
"You guys just never 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULgAmYHWWN
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8EJConnK
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGlEgK8qCO
you're throwing a party."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJ4EdtiXI
"Ya, we are," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a5hOOdiDF
"All I wanted was for 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxm0xBDcc
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XA3W42tx3
party out of the blue because you wanted to."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtaR929WJe
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETX0eEPehP
"Don't tell me, save if 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofPm9g6Ou
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCD6BBRUKv
don't help, Collins might just fire me."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty5jBoeQF4
"You know he wouldn't." I891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrxexT5BgD
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhusm9mgdzY
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhg9fAVkp3
beauty salon at all."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcdEY7yd4k
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndTq1ZbyUA
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWAMojR048
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtbHxRSSWY
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlVsNgzZiM
"Sure they can. It's not891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJMLOwn3mS
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylwRBlKFNa
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmq0wWBBMA
call them." 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoRF5f95qt
"Ya, you do that."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoT25PAqz5
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUcg8XwMIX
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtRCnzXOhz
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQOXxbZHk
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZgT3ZILA4
"Red? Why red?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3woE4nl230
"Well, it's the theme for the party."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce5uv5OfiR
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJKagwOJV
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSKgDewk2r
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Z6eO9pUf
"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."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAEAw0FXnl
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58g8AhV1Z9
"Thanks, Lee."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUis28OaVCh
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcERaJbRsVC
Lee cut the line and I 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8npWfHmMNm
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaWI01NzNk
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ii4JP2n6i
into them with the trolley.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpPv6yrj3
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2dmKye6yG
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAh7MyVRbT
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmULcpzDpN5
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QHrumWDY3
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbE0AfstbV
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE7NTVJxr6
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZMCaHhjd
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m3UapVZTY
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70NLYXbcmU
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EFD2LONj5
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RxS1h7Itx
"Aren't we almost done 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ymf8q6h2
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAi0PDiDom
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMpIeCd61O
"I think we got all that891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOfX9ebEb6
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl6sf3ydwx
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVByLYJyv2
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRFy3T5IN
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeenz2ZaCF
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xPzIIStK6
"Did someone say cake?" 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GR19yOjYt
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMeAhZ8ATH
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnJNxybikt
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!"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWjujtTWgH
"Okay, looks like I 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd72sNl660S
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilYpoAa8QQ
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwfpWWeTgr
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXus4Gn2pU6
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuy5fAqZH6
"No one knows," said 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7d0zdToYA
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe9VyPTIc5
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIPgfHbUBR
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuWwrrFGfd
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4GNA7v0FA
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL1lHubEc3
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW9Kz1KFdy
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVTtscBSKy
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkIHBfXb6L
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdFJF8eVLL
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecI0eMoep0
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaOTQTz3Tz
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFPOTuDja7
"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."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBP0Vr33Vz
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDQ3vZI3M
We quickly went straight891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEDctXJk2Y
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rnDS68ptV
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd61UM0233V
easily by passersby.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eLJWiwvHn
As soon as we were done 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zoc1Nd4vu
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz9ddbpqrZ
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4fWv3SJCN
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLB5fvZVr
another.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVrkWi3HGK
Surprisingly, as many 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliqgUl9J3B
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bun6C4Mp3
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG0mmkH0WF
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMRPAD8Ov
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kcA665idN
to come out with were red shoes.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPvN85378
"This is getting 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBodiRtKu62
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYuhfUOTyK
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WqtYFvDG3
can't seem to find the right outfit."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkkjwQSJZ
"Shouldn't we have just 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fh9p7Ek27
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZSSgSQemA
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpJCIaOOWb
"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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp2V8Zbjq2
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSBhBxqaVf
"I feel so too," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwDb5f6o54
"You know the offer is 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDNGF63Df1
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqSb9Q57z7
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3KuNyUj84
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrWocXWUaT
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtztc3fiOgg
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr8ty9tZFy
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MT21uAQpe
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDARIkBK5d
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUX4PLUz48
"No, I'm calling Lee. 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95GxoqM3E9
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs5d7UTDGt
phone began to ring at the under end.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgKSI38Oai
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKsmEmQin
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7AoK7cHMv
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9UhUgZ1L
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aTxmLGAO0
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10tgrFGFtE
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3gFA1uPNb
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19iBkN9ASC
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjEW4DNzol
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjDCmTjxmd
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtejfjZGbEi
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9ql0deSl
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo86Cdknbw
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHMDoDpaEB
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3hNY6DTqI
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeTWIeoz7U
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpHDNX6Zx
"Well, lucky her," said 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQc7cJtNW4
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tg7ieqWb5
like she found what she was looking for."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45hzNzvY4i
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsooQa29dwF
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLtLMaaBH
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIfIwzCiUy
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfOP3Ffm9w
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuG0r1OLRE
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgWhUDHiTD
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZ2wNMCf4
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyYsO6DlGz
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUITV5wFgh0
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEB4tLYrHx
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsHW4mcmDo
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZctsxETa
"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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmB1mWBnKe
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEexrNzHSPW
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dDFt09Der
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI46XJFAq4
I kept on looking in the891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRwyoYy8XB
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL1IchaaXz
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig8CTig2CV
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwB1HYf2io
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt39hEF0Pv
"I like it," said 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mqT5DNEDr
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitQsEsy879
they are really going to match with your heels."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaLOCwY7Wn
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdpiE6BL2
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQcpwZvIzQ
"I didn't ask for your 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsva18T9xHF
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXq3sDJi98
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGtLPJANYo
"But I bet she looked more prettier."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYGX8AtLPL
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauhkc9v624
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEKLMqa2vV
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e3Jh3MOdA
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoKOcFaUbX
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRMXTj2h4Q
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9vf32Fweg
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeomoQgqe9
Christine ran off to the891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAsyk6DLx2
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obvxkPiM7
her hand and back in her usual clothes.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy25ko3lVgx
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVjSSFweVn
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD5nYzfqSr
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KKEVsXQqM
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E8hYw7ZsC
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgEmpYwHFx
"I feel the last four 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y8JzmFjRv
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPkxf8RgF
out a red top that didn't feel right still.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW0IJh2ULH
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzRnoB8l8W
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubw043zzi3
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6vna5G1L
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiylamcu221
"True," said Zoey from the counter.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7EUwJR0m4
"You can do it well 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYnaDoPXRe
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcm8W0k9Ro
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o6VTopcVu
rack.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckrCZc3ToK
"And you don't have to 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwHHDKnUha
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycuQQQHuCT
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeEaRe3QyG
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ZewLAWw3
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoLej2tObO
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg09iqMcUA
"Me neither," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKAejuJfkE
"Well, now you know," said Lee.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTnRxJouil
"Gosh, there is nothing 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZnkEzp5oX
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmKaURIjfJ
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsAJ9TfQin
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3srQoknqMq
"Let me go in the last aisle."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi46soEyev
Just as I was about to 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivmvdLfnIT
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4wi44kwz7
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd3A2O9Gog
backwards.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fNypvs2Nv
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACNq8qulPk
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI6gSz0gh7
"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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD2mIEGtY7
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVOO7ZUso6
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatdNxTCYUt
I looked at the person 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCca4VpIZ
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYRXeB14lB
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAIsmzQxOe
"Hey," said Zoey as she 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMklefghUbo
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOhny2SQs
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1FVSPee9b
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdBNjFG9wy
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8JAuwihKm
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyg2J7ZeZU
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezbTXfkFE6
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7UqvYxCIH
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlzCZjWl6s
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUF9nNyMRy
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yU6BokZrT
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0qsO43RFE
Immediately my two 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCRzwOgRLH
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfqrSkZzbz
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uoHVhcm5i
Then all of the sudden, a891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbUUuPAprU
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaFrCX4t2G
was coming from. It was Christine.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0x3pkQF3u
She quickly covered her 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyGw3lSDgL
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2iEI01UqY
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9r8BzM55W
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6qUm2fjZ
"Spare her," said 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZizUy0C9l
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJy5QsPtjg
ourselves contained when we see famous people."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBcLV6BC6W
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHXuBuLDcu
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQo1wjTNTF
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53CJRn26gj
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErzwhKTQw7
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBDtYPvMM1
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFi7RkmdJJ
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL7NWDaGR1
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTD3XRvgJZ
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPF26SFuSb
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb8oEpUeus
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Sr9qUonU
"I already did, thanks. 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQjlsUwGW
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrnfPlOEuq
to go back and prepare for the party."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DSDVnL7KS
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl4V7eOATg
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBb45zOhed
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBNtndPNzd
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHih1mX3P5a
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMz7Hf8GfY
Joy turned around and I 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lt6zh980v
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPMutltaYb
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG14Lil58g
she drew out the one she was looking for.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1T3xMRyNB
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvbA6yT1qU
She gave me a red short 891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxtLMzTMc
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCyqmwQQh8
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAUHl6kzpf
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gxPtjypdc
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOMJoCEN7
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCARNqGUrJ0
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq53qFsuoNC
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLodiTiMqPW
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswvjFEuXnd
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oNlIKgVFG
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxDD8vrEDC
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFifqSlCcUC
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzXqHE1ODc
"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.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOkABCnlYt
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDwa0jHpV
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0FgU9t5YC
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSwPLQKhbT
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnR95BNnt3
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hgkqAIzeW
"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?"891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7XcmWOe3l
"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."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYvkPrL6gK
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXgkrhTAEq
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgWNFNbfKY
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRaHelsQf
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIoQIg565D
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.891Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYRseWRIeW
