"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
