"Wait, let me get this straight," said Collins over the phone. "You guys want to throw a party at the hotel?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEKWwSVMdK
"Yes," I answered slowly. "We do."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeG6jtfTqF
"And what makes you think I'm going to allow that?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5r72duCvk
Zoey leaned in closer to me and answered, "because you are invited."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5ejt9SEe3
Collins laughed. "Are 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCCmMTlgl9
you serious? Just because you're inviting me to your party doesn't mean 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpUoRnwQPo
I'm going to allow you to throw a party."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0DpaqndHJ
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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu95VoAksJ
"Hey, which piñata do you think is best? One with rainbow colours or the all red one?" Mike asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBL5zpDT9T
"You guys want a piñata?" Collins asked sounding confused. "Are you already buying stuff for the party?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIzwgnFPDD
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."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOT1qYtUaN
"But Daniel really wants one," Mike insisted. "He said he hasn't had candy in a long time."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloI9FsxSrz
"Ya, a piñata will be awesome," said Zoey.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4RiCubhUg
"Hello, is anyone listening to me?" Collins called out.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaU41EMyLw
"Yes, Collins, we already started buying stuff for the party," I answered.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz6RejKKxT
"Gosh, what to do with 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk6yuxCw8g
you monkeys," Collins muttered. "Okay, you can have your party. Let me 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcelVkKWhx
talk to the hotel manager to give you guys a permit. You don't want to 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOCpEkvsxN
end up in a cell."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9YqZt3JQk
I smiled. "Thanks, Collins."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvqPEetUXx
"Whatever. Just don't tear up the place, will you?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBysqwn26nw
"We promise," said Zoey.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZhUq8tvur
Collins cut the line and the five of us, Toxins couldn't stop smiling.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXOKuUfh6R
"Well, that went well," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSsZYZotQT
"How did you know he wasn't going to refuse if he thought we were already buying stuff for the party?" Zoey asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6h7UpcbJR
"There was nothing he 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5nJ5k44uv
was going to do about it even if we were to bring all the party 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIezCq04u
decorations back at the hotel without telling him in the first place. He815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzOJmRhYUy
would still say yes no matter what," I answered.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkTbaFfKoJ
"I told you Sam had it all figured out," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL4EUUjE4Q
"Now that that's been sorted out, we better get shopping," said Christine.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wglkHfrbf
The five of us all came 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWoSbarwdE
out of the car parked in the parking lot of the mall. We hurriedly 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPzWLujpSx
walked up to the entrance to avoid any of our fans from spotting us.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jslQu3FWG
As soon as we entered the mall, I turned to look at the others before we could go any further.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE9xSexam4
"Okay, so how is it going to be?" I asked. "Should we we split up and buy what we need or stick together?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywwj7z2nRA
"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."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkeBRF8Crf
"I agree. At least if we are together, we can remind ourselves of what we need," said Zoey.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoRjoSsmxn
"Okay, then sticking 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDiORd6EFC
together it is," I said. "We better hurry. We only have three hours till815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZJxYeYd7f
twelve so we better be done with shopping within an hour and a half."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffDOfdhULp
To make our shopping 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRaT9M4nM6
more easier, we quickly found ourselves at a party supply store. Daniel 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3up0ML75O
first got red ballons. Lots of them because he was so excited about the 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJfutzl2X6
party. They were almost too much that I had to put some of them back on 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqHh6rzsGr
the shelves when he wasn't looking.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCYPyFv8a6
We even got red 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KR6qTLBA6
confetti. That was all on Zoey. She's a huge fan of such. She reminded 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJe0HjCvmb
me of the old days when we used to make confetti out of cut out paper 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbInDUvPz8
and put glitter on them. She really liked glitter. She still does, 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRbTNqwcVR
though she seems not to show it sometimes.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SwFHxZCpT
Mike was lucky enough to even find an all red piñata. I raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any questions.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3thn8HWjFn
"You don't seem pleased that I found a piñata," said Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8sJheyn0
"Oh, I'm scared for 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLpLysg5LB
Lee," I said. "She's really going to faint when she sees we actually 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781wMjfmOv
found one. We aren't Mexican, you know?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLTcPAsVw
"No, but it will be good to have a good sense of mixed culture."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCNHIgLXK
"That I agree. You can put the piñata in the trolley."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ts6jK3qsd
Mike did just that and 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw2vN7clzq
went off into another aisle to see what other supplies he could get. I 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzpYuvFiid
was the one slowly pushing the trolley and looking around as well.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMpSeJH833
Christine came to me with red party hats.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1iJ3CXjx
"How many are in each packet?" I asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFmfl8cof
"Ten," Christine answered. "Just got some more just in case."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv2Q67rwVO
"In case what?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPNv133Nze
"In case some get to spoil their party hats. Especially the boys."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzexnM4XDo
"You're right," I said. "I've no doubt Seungri and Seunghoon will do so."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloRg6CMkSz
I felt my phone beep in my purse and when I retrieved it, I found Lee was calling.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuwyKHeTm7
"Lee is calling," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI6gh6pmnc
"I'll go check for more supplies," said Christine as she disappeared down an aisle.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyaBZQ6SXP
"You guys just never 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3B0RWqZwd
stop surprising me," said Lee immediately I answered her call. "I was 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfD20k3lOu
just in the middle of a pedicure when Collins called telling me that 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrGpbMNqEw
you're throwing a party."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0KnseR955
"Ya, we are," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU02UzYSiMe
"All I wanted was for 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSDIX3rYC6
you to go and have a normal fun time with BigBang. Not decide to throw a815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGw7SIOocg
party out of the blue because you wanted to."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBZ5bkgmbq
"If I told you what really happened, you're going to have a huge laugh," I said as I rolled my eyes.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvWfhVFNNH
"Don't tell me, save if 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOZVwAWIUq
for after the party. I called to ask if you need anything or else if I 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrW2eAYyY
don't help, Collins might just fire me."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedxxK3rP9f
"You know he wouldn't." I815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwphCNFdQlZ
thought for a moment. "In fact, you can help us, Lee. And it will be 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRd8frl0Z7
the easiest thing to do because you don't need to move out of that 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiL3gQD8KV
beauty salon at all."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkegTAk1aqP
"There is no way that can happen." I could already imagine Lee making a corky smile and shaking her head.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0YB234gr
"We need food and snacks for the party. Just enough to carter twenty to twenty-five people. It shouldn't be all that fancy."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUHF9hg07b
"Okay, I know of a catering business around."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK011baQIbK
"Can they prepare something in two hours? The party's at twelve."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRcFVtjjLO
"Sure they can. It's not815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2sV7n6Xlw
one of those massive dinner parties so you need some light food and 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsVHXQR5aH
snacks. They might have something in store for a regular party. I'll 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bT9HMBLlq
call them." 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYVtLzY4Y
"Ya, you do that."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCGFcl9rGQ
Lee paused for a moment. "You're right. I don't have to move out of here at all."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShMqy0Yljz
"Told you. Tell me if they agree to do so."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRsV7aqLg9
"Okay. Am I invited to the party?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59rsDDl3O
"Of course you are. You're no stranger. Just one thing though. Come dressed in red."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMftIABlIRG
"Red? Why red?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW1zWlOnaZ
"Well, it's the theme for the party."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wq4ofQR3
"I wonder why you chose the color. You guys mostly fancy blue or purple."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xbRER1Drc
"The colour choosing is part of the long story."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltv62ldXI
"Would you need a white and red cake to go for your party?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHcZnBPB3J
"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."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7o4uwAfI
"Leave that to me. I know a bakery that sells already made cakes and I bet they have a red and white one."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfxnhNZFZv
"Thanks, Lee."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIuLsYEo0a
"Don't mention it. What's a party without cake?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsuIfUGd0L
Lee cut the line and I 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrD0ndAok
put my phone away in my purse. I continued to push the trolley when Mike815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡersseb0KCN
and Daniel appeared in front of me all of the sudden. I almost bumped 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbogGiMWhQ
into them with the trolley.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedRPeYI9be
"Whoa, you two, I would have run you over," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKrYEfd4L
"Thank God it isn't a car," said Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWCRr1FGJj
I rolled my eyes. "What's up?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Wndw7tBV
"Guess what we found?" Daniel said as both him and Mike raised what they were holding in their hands.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVfcyFDBuE
"Oh, confetti guns," I said with a smile. "This is going to be fun."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t8Yxhy4L4
"Cool! Confetti guns!" Zoey appeared behind me with party blowers.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmir6TzpuYj
"We're so going to make a mess at the party," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1muhc2fUn
"All the more for Collins to hate us," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklfvVcp5n
"So what are you saying?" Mike asked. "We shouldn't get them?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaxKXDOBZO
"Of course we can, it's a party after all."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAD2Gx5YRd
"Yes!" the two boys cheered as they put the confetti guns into the trolley and ran off.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiGPWhojtp
"Aren't we almost done 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe188Uy9K98
here?" Zoey asked as she came over to the trolley to put in the red 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJjCV849Qs
party blowers. "I mean, we are almost at the end of the store."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkp5vcFPTQ
"I think we got all that815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNftxcDOz1g
we need," I said as I looked into the trolley. "But let the others 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO8VAJXA11
scavenge through the last aisles and see what they get."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ujM2Mn7s
"I wanted to ask about the food," said Zoey. "You know there's no party without it."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK6Fc6pS2k
"I know. Lee called to ask what else we needed and I told her about the food and snacks. There might even be cake."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwfM9fiZDi
Zoey's eyes lit up. "Cake?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZEExAkme
"Did someone say cake?" 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZGZlp9jHF
Christine poked her head round the corner of a shelf, with an excited 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPZ39oVqJl
look on her face upon hearing the word "cake."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV66e2veSks
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!"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6BErmvbu
"Okay, looks like I 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3yMBgX6UC
shouldn't have said that," I said as I looked at my two brothers sing 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3sKTDelvn
and dance to the song waving the streamers around.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ZEqxx98Q
Zoey laughed. "There's just no party without cake," she said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9wisGjqte
"I wonder what's so special about it," I said as I stared off into the distance.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEmeP5Vwsx
"No one knows," said 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXyM4qmdbS
Christine as she came with red party ribbons and put them in the 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aZNWyh7FH
trolley. "Most people only come for the cake."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uZkrnOXV3
"I didn't came here to party," sang Mike as he slowly approached.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjzYgWQ9iT
"I didn't come here to stay," Daniel continued, following Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawaEaTyC0D
"I came to the leave with somebody," sang Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiuhiaySOH
"I only came for the cake," the five of us all responded at the same time.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfNhKBd8O
I smiled. "Okay, are we done?" I asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcpqRgrUxb
"Looks like we are," said Mike. "That's if you want me to get some party costumes at the end of the aisle."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQRz4bgac
"No!" the four of us answered. Mike raised his hands in surrender.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa384SY3Dd
"Alright, I was only kidding," he said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpAOYluhF3
"Let's pay for this stuff," I said. "And who wants to go shopping for red outfits?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ08VLgnqnz
All the four Toxins raised their hands. Come to think of it, I also had to find something red.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVn2T2PLo4
"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."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOxM7aKxz1
"Aye, aye, captain," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQlm0fLlpV
We quickly went straight815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHw9SzyXiO
to the counter and after loading stuff in the trolley again, we quickly815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCIvPiS1w6
rushed out of the store, again with the intention of not being seen so 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡughq5djpD2
easily by passersby.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYXmgfCSha
As soon as we were done 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauZYSlEuhn
packing the party supplies in the car with the help of the chauffeur, we815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNMEvUwY08
went back to the mall and this time to get clothes. The four of us 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHewSDCH8mP
split up, Zoey, Christine and I went one way, my two brothers went 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiHsXkXpRY
another.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sp0vj6Zqn
Surprisingly, as many 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Fq8uzRLY
boutiques that we visited, the girls and I couldn't find anything 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTzlkNGdLb
dazzling in red. There were red dresses, red t-shirts and shirts with 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBMpsHrPBN
fancy red skirts and pants alright, some with a touch of white or black.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKmWLmj2aU
But we just couldn't find the right outfit. The only thing we managed 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczv4nC8Xq0
to come out with were red shoes.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDghgaSdxL
"This is getting 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeUXWiiKtV
ridiculous," said Zoey as the three of us were walking around each with a815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RtgVJdJf
bag that had a pair of red shoes. "We're running out of time and we 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPnTxGTmid
can't seem to find the right outfit."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAee2uoLF8
"Shouldn't we have just 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScVuLxQimn
changed the theme colour?" Christine asked looking at me. "Because I saw815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZAR60wac1
a sparkling blue flared summer dress in one of the boutiques."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJyFRMA0Iz
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznWwbinW9l
"I feel we're looking for the wrong thing here," said Zoey.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6UaCp2qf7
"I feel so too," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWmJTVoTul
"You know the offer is 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ4bMRnDtC
still on the table for getting those costumes we found at the party 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38GefwbJnn
supply store," said Mike as he and Daniel came from behind.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKIOLCSI2F
"Really?" Zoey turned to look at him. "We said no."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh2n17LKb9
Mike smirked. "I don't know about you ladies," he said, "but Daniel and I already have what we need."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqADXn221Xd
"Lucky you," said Christine. "We only managed to get shoes but the outfits we have seen just aren't right."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdiNRhAkGG
"Well, there are still plenty of places to look," said Daniel. "It ain't the end of the world."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncJ5hUIJ0A
"But the question is where?" I asked as I bit my lip deep in thought. I quickly pulled out my phone.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCqOJas9D
"Are you calling a fashion designer?" Zoey asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFX3EKgaPw
"No, I'm calling Lee. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SzrLSXxIB
She must be somewhere around this mall." I put the phone to my ear. Her 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcaIQWMCyd
phone began to ring at the under end.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzjwk2SiE
"Are you sure?" Christine asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pOUIPwHj1
"Hi, Lee," I said as soon as Lee picked up the call. "Where are you?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhViDUMHpfX
"Looking for something red, where else?" she answered.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQDSjcgzUK
"Okay, where are you, exactly?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVVRSY8JJZ
Lee paused. "Wait, you think we are at the same mall?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsTN3x4jLJ
"You are at the Myeong-dong shopping mall, aren't you?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9NcXZUKzF
"I'm not going to ask how you guessed."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaNwR75AcU
"Well, we all like coming here." I shrugged my shoulders. "Didn't have to guess."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CEmDGmlOd
"Okay Miss Smarty Pants, why do you want to know where I am?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm91e094q5
"The girls and I are stuck and we need to find a red outfit quick. We don't have much time."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8iAim3b47
Lee gave us directions to which boutique she was in and we found it within a minute. Surprisingly, she wasn't that far.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUGuaa0VQx
"Hey, guys!" Lee called out to us when she noticed us enter the boutique.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7UcRMJPvj
Zoey rushed over to Lee as she was looking at a gorgeous sparkling red high low dress.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc95LDu3oRm
"Are you going to get this, Lee?" Zoey asked, her eyes were filled with wonder as she looked at the dress.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtIxdFA0T
"Oh, no, you can try it," said Lee. "I already picked a dress."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruaGWfeheq
"Thank you." Zoey quickly unhanged the dress from it's hanger and she quickly went to the dressing room.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9f0FukZGw
"Well, lucky her," said 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDw8wcp1U1
Christine as the rest of us got to where Lee stood with Zoey. "Looks 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYgP3dbpkk
like she found what she was looking for."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uXOXsYebE
"And you haven't," Lee mocked Christine with a smile.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLVM1EXUoa
"Ya, ya, ya, let me get 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkFSZkwi9y
right to it," said Christine, trying to rub off Lee as she went in the 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aynAMy8dL
aisle looking for something red on the clothes rack.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnqz8TWV14
"We don't need to worry about checking for anything," said Mike. "We men have it all handled."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURsunyumqy
"Stuff for men or boys aren't that hard to get," I said as I looked at my brother.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaTPVAFnlR
"As long as it's smart and sensible," said Lee.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNTqcPVJmo
"Okay, we get you're trying to say that finding girl stuff is hard," said Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r5FBRfjwb
"It is," Lee and I said at the same time.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pnMBTTXWt
"Okay, Sam, why don't you look for something?" Daniel reminded me. "We're running out of time."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B77KqEIJH
"Oh, right," I said as I looked around wondering which way to go until I finally picked a direction. Lee followed behind me.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o9BhTVKbx
"How come you girls couldn't find an outfit?" Lee asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtfTswR1yY
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2AYexGoiD
"All boutiques are nice and fancy."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BQdZ036cJ
"Well, this one is extra fancy by a long shot."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDDEtHkjby
Lee nodded her head slightly as she looked at a gorgeous blue summer dress. "You might have a point."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJDvDPYy6y
I kept on looking in the815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3VKn8ibgi
clothes rack for anything red until Zoey appeared at the other end of 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNHx5j3pH2
the aisle all dressed up in the dress she picked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Zoj4a4Xr
"How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJQaELkiWS
"It's gorgeous, Zoey," I replied honestly. Her high low dress looked stunning.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKxcupXBMZ
"I like it," said 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDarm98I8T
Christine as she appeared standing next to Zoey admiring the dress. "And815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wbhUU8rlb
they are really going to match with your heels."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOwiHph2Ey
"Thanks," said Zoey with a smile.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oCfqVewAa
"Too bad you don't look like Cinderella," said Mike.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXMSHUwN2E
"I didn't ask for your 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7kLFPnf8W
opinion," said Zoey looking at the other side, where Mike was probably 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdG9idAuu0
standing. "And besides, Cinderella wore a blue dress."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpoCa3LnLf
"But I bet she looked more prettier."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTwogCk9BX
Zoey didn't say a word as she quickly turned around with her dress and headed back to the dressing room.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9b7w6LisC
I went back to looking for a dress when I said, "you really shouldn't be too hard on her, Mike."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunK8MxtvXN
"I tell him that everyday," said Daniel at the other end.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjVLzkQZ9j
Christine soon appeared with a red halter neck backless skater dress.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs8sEd7v1W
"Hey, do you think this will look good on me?" she asked Lee and I.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj0q1XsTpx
"If you ask me, that looks super cute," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvDIE8CSBl
"You should try it. I bet it will look fantastic," said Lee.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gkFecz933
Christine ran off to the815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9lxxgdaj9
dressing room and at the same time, Zoey came back with her dress in 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDj3ALX9dx
her hand and back in her usual clothes.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rV1cQGzbY
"Found anything yet?" Zoey asked as she looked at me.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnUPz6XqIB
"Sadly, no," I answered as I turned round the corner and entered another aisle.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtThDSS0a3G
"Well, there must be something for you. Let me pay for this and then I'll come help out with Lee."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREFdJ37ibc
"And you better hurry," Mike announced. "We only have 10 minutes."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3i0NFYMs
"Well, time seems to move slow on my part," said Lee as she joined me and Zoey went to the counter.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8Mzc2pTj
"I feel the last four 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwYVeh6zk
minutes I've been here, I ve been searching forever," I said as I drew 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX9KfH40u0
out a red top that didn't feel right still.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoM9Jfp1do
"Don't worry, the place has plenty of stuff."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYKtp3uCZ
"Ya, but we have to go and decorate."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCQC43Yy5
"The others can leave and you and I can stay here. The others can decorate without you."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETEbwJLsRJ
"No, we need Sam around for the decorations," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRqEIlkIam
"True," said Zoey from the counter.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG138m181u
"You can do it well 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4I7BoereZ
without me, guys," I said to them intently looking at the clothes in 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2fb6j6qdy
front of me. There was nothing red so I moved on to another clothes 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodVu1VkFP1
rack.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmGZHaCA2t
"And you don't have to 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawC68v4Tjl
worry about the food and snacks. The people whom I hired are already on 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCQAR1DkLe
it and the hotel knows that they will be expecting them."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfx78PUCV3
"What about the cake?" Mike asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDkfKqtdiC
"Don't worry too much about the cake. It's bad luck, you know?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWQ2Xb9t3r
"I've never heard anyone say that in my entire life," said Zoey as she appeared in the aisle Lee and I were in.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyabBSUdWi
"Me neither," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkGMYvnp4X
"Well, now you know," said Lee.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgf2w7HbvI
"Gosh, there is nothing 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVzvsBu9ke
red here," I said. I was ready to give up. We were almost coming to the 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAapYkY1eF
last aisle of the boutique. I didn't feel so lucky this time around.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen63sX96D6
"Don't say that, Sam," said Zoey who was on the opposite side of the aisle with Lee.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zYNP9lFOU
"Let me go in the last aisle."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjZA5xRoXy
Just as I was about to 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xbR256lW
turn round the corner, I abruptly bumped into something face first and I815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyP9LWXRiT
almost fell to the ground but kept my balance as I took a few steps 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcHycbQLwS
backwards.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1m6zX4KGG
"미안, 너 괜찮 니?" ("Mian, neo kwaenchanh ni?") ("Sorry, are you okay?") asked the voice in front of me as I held my face.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxnlTQcmBK
"네, 괜찮나요," ("Ne, kwaenchanhnayo,") ("Yes, I'm fine,") I replied though the bump really hurt.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAyJ9iOvI9
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgZ5tjvbS2
"It's nothing, I just bumped into someone," I said as I looked at Lee, still holding my head.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49OkPCQ9Dw
"Oh, hello," said the lady I bumped into. "I didn't notice it was you."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV1hl80xca
I looked at the person 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf9PbZ1vYV
in front of me and I felt my face turn pale for a second. Lee also 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg1HLnBLiJ
paused as she realised who I had bumped into.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwRGNW2afZ
"Hey," said Zoey as she 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRcggBSP30
came towards Lee and I. "Are we still looking for the dress or...... oh,815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKe72Fk7dA
my gosh, you're from RedVelvet," Zoey couldn't believe her eyes when 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAJ67Bjhx
she saw who Lee and I were looking at.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSNuy9w1wl
Yeri giggled and said, "yes, and you're Zoey. From The Toxins. I'm such a fan."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvvscdRH01
"We are also fans of you too," said Zoey almost stammering.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciUifGu5KK
"Ya, we are," I said, with a surprised look on my face.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeptvIlusi
"The girls are not going to believe this when I tell them that I just met you guys," said Yeri.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05T9K0LTm
"Where are you, Yeri?" came a voice from the last aisle.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpYfLxu467
"I'm here, come and see who I just met," Yeri called back.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAJIhCYWQz
"Hey, Sam, did you find something?" came Mike's voice. I could hear his footsteps and even Daniel's coming from the other side.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd4D8UPL9H
"Who are you talking about now?" came the person who called Yeri and appeared round the corner. But the person wasn't alone.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPHup6ytyI
Immediately my two 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmELzy9xLSs
brothers appeared behind Lee, Zoey and I, four other members of 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyOYWhsVhH
RedVelvet appeared behind Yeri. For a moment there was silence.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjJSUuTrGE
Then all of the sudden, a815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0tHwQza3c
little scream came out of nowhere. Everyone turned to where the noise 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIoHWpJEpx
was coming from. It was Christine.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1HSnWm4au
She quickly covered her 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIoN9DrkKz
mouth and gathered herself together. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjvjij5uu6
after seeing RedVelvet," she said after she uncovered her mouth.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0S6CRhBP
"I'm also as surprised as you are, but I didn't scream, did I?" Mike asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFWX1HWrGR
"Spare her," said 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmP4oD79J6
Seulgi, with a smile. "We are all girls and it's quite hard to keep 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FOVlseA5A
ourselves contained when we see famous people."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedQZKlI8V
"This is so weird," said Daniel. "I'm Daniel and I'm a fan of you guys."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvX00VIE9k
Joy and Irene giggled. "Same here," they said at the same time.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTAW1ux3wG
"Isn't this funny?" I asked. "Us meeting RedVelvet, when we are actually having a red themed party today?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDPjepRWtF
"Ooooh, ya!" the four Toxins slapped their foreheads.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOV6JC5CpE
"You're so right, Sam," said Christine. "I didn't even notice."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK7XUbDjgY
"You're having a red themed party?" Wendy asked her eyes glowing with excitement. "Cool!"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJVjKsehxM
"Ya, we are, so we were all looking for something red," said Lee.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx87Ijq9n5
"That looks good on you, Christine," said Yeri as she walked over to Christine to look at her dress.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVxBwZi3a8
Christine blushed. "You even know my name?" Yeri smiled and then Christine said, "oh..., ya, thanks."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj32KyTiLV
"But we have a problem though," said Mike. I looked at him as I knew what the was able to say.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAjFX6AqPt
"What is it?" Seulgi asked. "Haven't you found something red, yourself?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpmRkeZp2u
"I already did, thanks. 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr8UCv0cgN
I'm talking about my sister. She hasn't found anything yet and we have 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNG9xGiASr
to go back and prepare for the party."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdYZ5DwWvQ
"Oh." Seulgi, Irene and Wendy looked at each other, then at me.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo97gReZ3P
Joy soon snapped her fingers, drawing all our attention to her.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy9TieJ98H
"I think I know what will suit her," said Joy.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Fw8mylmQ
"You do?" Daniel and Zoey asked at the same time.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJoixrKdFV
"I saw this dress in the aisle we were in. Come, Sam, and I'll show you."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKKUye6w9j
Joy turned around and I 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt6blvPHPh
quickly followed her. She got to a clothes rack where there were red 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVfbYfcbzA
dresses through and through. She looked among them and checked before 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtAoWKx5Fh
she drew out the one she was looking for.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHcHkcZ6Ul
"Here you are," she said with a smile on her face. "You will look really pretty in this."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEME1VinwpC
She gave me a red short 815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCmjxFTCh4
sleeveless prom dress. It was really pretty because of the design. And I815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHVPMPQLe
had to admit, I fell in love with it completely.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllymcIP9Vx
"Wow, it's so pretty," said Zoey as she came over to look at the dress.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlVJZCsEtJ
"It will suit her," said Seulgi. "Nice work, Joy. You picked the right dress."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7q50pSd1
"Yes, thank you," I said. "I almost gave up looking."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGzqcY6DvT
"You're welcome," said Joy as she gave me a hug.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZScp70W4Y
"Well, I bet even if we weren't here, you would still find it," said Yeri.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtRdPTmQUG
"Maybe," said Mike. "But you just made finding the dress more easier because we have to go."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2mmIioMrT
"Oh, ya, the party," I slapped my head. "We have to put up the decorations."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycAhsxxPAv
"Would you like to come?" Lee asked, addressing the question to RedVelvet.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHkfr4UG99
"Us? To the party?" Wendy asked.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9OhTJxU33
"Ya, it will be nice if you come," said Zoey.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXl1Cp33oA
"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.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ664YAEjv12
"Oh," said Christine looking a little crestfallen. "It would really have been nice if you came."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFGlZ9mHkx
"Maybe some other time," said Yeri. "I for one would really like to hang out with you guys."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewxP4Vq6O1
"Ya, we do too," said Daniel.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCKOOQkINx
"Okay, let me try and see if the dress fits," I said.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfbAMeZafG
"Of course it will fit," said Zoey. "The dress is just your size."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZYwuFtEZP
"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?"815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd9wQUXqMS
"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."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJCaj80vJc
"Fine." I rolled my eyes. I couldn't believe I was agreeing to this but right now, we were late.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJYL5b5Xa
"Christine, you better change out of that dress," I reminded her.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKRxvV9JCr
"Wait, before we all go, can we take a quick selfie? All of us?" Joy asked as she excitedly pulled out her phone.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jP94gT671
"Sure," said Daniel. "But let's not take more than one. We all are running really late."815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULCMDxhmqI
We quickly huddled ourselves together and with smiling faces, looked up at Joy's camera.815Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ogLeVW55
