"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt9KxVxni0
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFDtxV4ny
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMhRpCBsml
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6D6KGehhU
Collins laughed. "Are 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DmWOWZDJP
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjpidI0h8L
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddMCVOgKfg
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.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoqGZssC4R
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRoqf6cKBx
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBNG7uhX2
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."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFt1I9ACbZ
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSpQixkat3
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8kvrb8Jk0
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzrPOUjrkQ
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqO2hKcxJR
"Gosh, what to do with 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ALX7nbCdC
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGVFfHIMdP
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTQkvpksbl
end up in a cell."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt468fmNMs7
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMkOFUIadY
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk96Ckzq4nb
"We promise," said Zoey.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJugiH1McHU
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tjiwsNqjC
"Well, that went well," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPaE7l9ZQ
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt8dFupRDz
"There was nothing he 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3C6SyYEy7
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0OnUUdO2u
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxD8ERujYq
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA6D6QBNNv
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3hYXXfQGf
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnc80PKOfw
The five of us all came 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatU4EnDCb7
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g0MTRkhrH
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxzPPLRiK
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffYFUifDB4
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bzLwBr2CV
"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."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RskObqHDf
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20JWFVlT8K
"Okay, then sticking 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntFaiDYvoC
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26iCBQ9oAZ
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigtFOcxXiB
To make our shopping 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFuiQJnnJz
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXvltv3sQm
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlDjXvJQic
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksiVzB0KWF
the shelves when he wasn't looking.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD0GxpnA9b
We even got red 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYksYiEZpE
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk70cR5WHI
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAzZ9WvbYj
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKrAXG9hw
though she seems not to show it sometimes.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1yLEThq58
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2B5149lEp
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gOXT7Eqd
"Oh, I'm scared for 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fbQq4wTg
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡankfJ5HxXU
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm0w3HuwgP
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiyfhaSIOz
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTcy6VYuDl
Mike did just that and 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdznTpA4Xf
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb72EMUE8IF
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN4xgOZ1o9
Christine came to me with red party hats.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuydxD7LBy
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ijKULyqy5
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fxlrr4CSh
"In case what?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qB3KO2ZyF
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yqIk2vkl
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v9DgFF3Dq
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflwJIMJU0U
"Lee is calling," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvuUJKNl5s
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mrq03NKPE
"You guys just never 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q1V2Mt8Lj
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gsftFE7zR
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEK5jWafO1
you're throwing a party."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiqUdupl9
"Ya, we are," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUE6O1Cz9b
"All I wanted was for 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHo9mpXY26
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZFbtYz6v6
party out of the blue because you wanted to."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICTtnUOyUF
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyiwANulaU
"Don't tell me, save if 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ESQbZgXcw
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6yC55QaKw
don't help, Collins might just fire me."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFpyIklewa
"You know he wouldn't." I814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuS3aUA5U9
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBS4spG1zB
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjmzrgxB82
beauty salon at all."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3LLsTODaV
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmhZ2dspll
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24pvtwkyc
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dXxw0lexc
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC31WvbKZi
"Sure they can. It's not814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMjfCM4jez
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIHYSjSj8z
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDV2jGSShu
call them." 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w3cOD9Wak
"Ya, you do that."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtakU6isJEP
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRXJPhXSmY
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ4t26Mxvx
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FLff1DSIu
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseZbOk6Lj7
"Red? Why red?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc7WFNHIuU
"Well, it's the theme for the party."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWpFfkxMwN
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7QwHIQaqe
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhLRKtmRCK
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0rp02kiN3
"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."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4djkhuPOf
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc1qjAabWS
"Thanks, Lee."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXto8KOSPz
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EEJRZhGzB
Lee cut the line and I 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ2sZN6Obd
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq3e40R26L
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvPNFB3TcH
into them with the trolley.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA5Tu1WaLe
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi9bjrBjWT
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSrwE1yGFz
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53c9Jztpkx
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3hPa87RYd
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfqUgcb9vz
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhpXZKTrRV
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcKC7XrFYb
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YVO6GGIT0
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vOPUmmZe5
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8H5WDZwRh
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2ASIRQXl
"Aren't we almost done 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn7bV0NcOr
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB6Ups0YkP
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluoG0M0cZY
"I think we got all that814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVlYIyltm2
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFwbhS3bIq
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfniqPF2P2
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP62QbpYsWI
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKZrpuiAzG
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxhq3YaJ6A
"Did someone say cake?" 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFg70zTNh
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ZkX4IjGG
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryaZsM0zZI
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!"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRi2fEPZo
"Okay, looks like I 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKydcUXL5V
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQO4se72z
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzgFmowz1F
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpvT0uESpX
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA52ERVv1y
"No one knows," said 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSDoHFOqa
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hvxtcSOVf
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69DEJ1QJG
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Z4OO1tIl
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0HbQiaH8n
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtKl4gpQAv
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWWBay2R5i
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p0FM4zAKk
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JtehyXOxl
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTxHf4KT72
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscA4kbEVbx
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchkeXYDVWY
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpPeIbjbl4
"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."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KjZ8xZWCQ
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw27KHqpz6N
We quickly went straight814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiyZqo3FQs
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye2iVgSGqs
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI2h9AAh7D
easily by passersby.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeDpBXjLoU
As soon as we were done 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqY3J7SyrX
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cVWYOr8kg
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyRFEVIdyZ
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwcJ7RRWp4
another.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZzPeo6ZBg
Surprisingly, as many 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaVj7B4dq
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBev5BEMOP
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvD25Ebh6U
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZIhqoIDJf
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VnuDu8JWG
to come out with were red shoes.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmO0s5ZWkl
"This is getting 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKeoMBV6Zf
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UsCHIg3Jc
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYZS6IBsER
can't seem to find the right outfit."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ63g9lROi
"Shouldn't we have just 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9AyFHaDXb
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX3Bwcq1z9
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7knlQGJZRt
"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.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPEswQ9Hw
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGqLwRRDXp
"I feel so too," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6K8hDG8Bj
"You know the offer is 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOoS6Q8NS
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0RjBfC5qz
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbCIRu0FJL
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcNcMEcdVM
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVU2vHVo5
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcvcARguSX
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2oindlKlK
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepGOeIrlMA
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJunod8xZH8
"No, I'm calling Lee. 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi1u5TQCwc
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ELVIn1i7A
phone began to ring at the under end.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpSDLe3Ab
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdRYX55bub
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KZ4vA175l
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EqrC5oRM
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWXRTEsQK
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NwsAJAl8G
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVYKYpzebf
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvr3zv0bRm
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8vHrPsfdu
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL10DT5mRm
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEqpaLbt9Q
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimJ9nkNt2b
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0jLqaBW9o
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvCu3w3MDC
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNpMCr5U7i
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmb9vU8kk
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JZsy3vm8F
"Well, lucky her," said 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqkLLbH2Jv
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9qsMkAQkD
like she found what she was looking for."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcMhZlKfUL
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aDyJ7rnEG
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86H7KXtukA
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT59uNuZE5
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaLCBOP9vl
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOhBfW1wEL
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwLXduNlZj
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaABT3juaJ
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoCXmXESAk
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB1ICEVYyN
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4b8ScKDfC
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRJDQxVyui
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkG6viy0Cg
"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.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8LJlZcSsJ
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfqecpAK6z
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnggZ5c62d8
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJuPTq3KNH
I kept on looking in the814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBiZXsmj8D
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGvi1rM7oZ
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSbBBzIqsJ
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF5rbF39UB
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T8liBo9FI
"I like it," said 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzlAl5mBCh
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrAtkMWWs
they are really going to match with your heels."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtI6adqxcZ
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQB5mcjZLo
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp73DFG39j
"I didn't ask for your 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ygQtPRTI6
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBp9ECcNyX
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IWBVCocEZ
"But I bet she looked more prettier."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYysQMCBI4
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fQL6GaZ43
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kktHsxEP
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jMmQmi5r2
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1kYxYy2cF
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9vHlosQDb
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTNOrufEKS
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGmmgC7Mr
Christine ran off to the814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJW3nbvVw
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhiGeTCC67
her hand and back in her usual clothes.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEnNEu1Xua
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SUcFfdvRX
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY8QMwPbqL
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC9EliJpBG
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj9e8fuzpl
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjcVemrQcy
"I feel the last four 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP60CkYzo5
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0eavIlvvg
out a red top that didn't feel right still.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLpilXHTKh
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRAWunlXZ
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdAOjuFQ5f
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9str6ZtAuA
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHPncRFTD4
"True," said Zoey from the counter.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVts387qnjN
"You can do it well 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gx9jqf0FX
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeonCSOIW2x
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEVOL4FYJS
rack.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86FkGFuCn
"And you don't have to 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuowW7jEpK
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHPjz1TasY
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCgjBvc625
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCA18UPKu
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxd87YZWuH
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXNH6e3e0W
"Me neither," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWxnWC23JP
"Well, now you know," said Lee.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKiafUQl24
"Gosh, there is nothing 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaJygYWelw
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBlIqwMR9R
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUna5Rv54T
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRMiMdkIuX
"Let me go in the last aisle."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVT04xHFgN
Just as I was about to 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF171UYP9m
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4kO8OEZoH
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNUrpSD2DO
backwards.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4mD57NMui
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7aNQyYXz2
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96S9tW2iEs
"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.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWltAAeBSpp
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn0EoOpQDZ
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDrDQyQQ6Q
I looked at the person 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo61NV4veFR
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Zg4KTdxE
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnF8aAZWf3
"Hey," said Zoey as she 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLw9u0k68H
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9svEc1LByj
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQVSAZIBqm
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2SR8p9yJa
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbK2R9cfZN
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwTassWZqf
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBDsYyJnbb
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2vrtFk6p9
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMERg6xbqM
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGL0M1Gi9l
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMXRVTOz0
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqxV5Pl7so
Immediately my two 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxU1SEAmYR
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Ee9ieXuz
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNQ7ipkevV
Then all of the sudden, a814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdQHuOjcq2
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo9qrojPQT
was coming from. It was Christine.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm2LxJckzK
She quickly covered her 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Ereg6udt
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9fajLlq6
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuI8CE5j9R
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNZfRGMelH
"Spare her," said 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2Uk632oR
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCY7XmM1OD
ourselves contained when we see famous people."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI2xgkKZSh
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2cJqDpLzS
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaqGEnZBJG
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTTHVKWgNb
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmRvstrIoh
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQpy6vPIoN
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYmOsbKPMm
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbjv1blEdg
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4J8mKJBqS
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj2DUi3zAI
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShQXcH4BCk
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyz3q6hMj7
"I already did, thanks. 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PnQZLpiSb
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAh0n7MePZ
to go back and prepare for the party."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtuk73bQP6
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYnQ7pxwgv
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFNPt054ZG
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xFv2bl5qM
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMoC9tCeyu
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO43EzWQMv
Joy turned around and I 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSIyDOmxE
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHSvv6NIWz
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamOaPYgfbd
she drew out the one she was looking for.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0of2J0KLd
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6zKte8UCS
She gave me a red short 814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yfaDWSbG0
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHudf2deNk
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZasfpsZzmX
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg11QnlRVN
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMBkyp3bZI
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZr2dw5NZz
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDMb7lbGNc
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvncumqNAb
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYaBd5hTh
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdnbn0xAHD
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo82oIZuWU
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLenQS9gLm
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRavrvo3WB
"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.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4wINiHcaS
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNA4O752sE
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE8satmWKe
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnEaT1fg2z
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaBKDxgp60
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOXd3m0Vl
"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?"814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f8yUu0KYT
"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."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KmvshmCV7
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3cTcObvpg
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVUxdCLC9b
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJts2lt7dg
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQohqRVv5D6
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.814Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXQyrIOv6
