A K-Pop Utopia (A Black Kitty Series, Book 2)

Chapter 46: Another Disappearing Act

"If you think I will forget, I won’t," said Zoey with a smile. Oh, she will definitely forget by tomorrow morning.

"What do you suggest we do first?" I asked Jungkook.

"We can start by buying ourselves another serving of dumplings," said Daniel as he licked his lips and started to make his way to the counter.

"Daniel, wait…" I called out to him. However, he was already at the counter. Christine apparently joined him. I shook my head. Something tells me that we might be carrying boxes of dumplings home once our stay in South Korea is over.

"When those two get fat, Collins is so going to kill us," said Lee, shaking her head in disbelief.

After we finished our dumplings, we had to walk a few blocks back to get the high-heeled shoes Lee wanted. Afterwards, we visited shops that sold traditional Korean outfits, which Zoey couldn’t help but admire. I remember telling myself when I first came here that I would get myself one. Therefore, I decided to look. Christine, Zoey, and Lee were so frantic about it that they also started to look at which Hanbok would look good on me giving their comments. I made a mental note not to tag them along when I get to look for my wedding dress in the future.

"This is the most excited I have ever seen them," said Jimin as he came to stand next to me.

"Trust me, this is nothing," I said. "Whenever I want to try out something new, the three are always in the forefront of picking things instead of me."

"Yeah, and it’s annoying," said Mike, who was on the other side of the store going through the male section with Daniel and Mino.

"Then maybe you should’ve come here at a later time without them," Mino suggested.

"Nah, this time is fine since we've got such a busy schedule," I said. Before I could go to the next hanger of clothes, I stopped to look around. "Has anyone seen Jungkook?"

The five of us who stayed close started to look around. Weird. He was behind Jimin a few seconds ago. He definitely hadn’t gone with Lee and the others. So where is he?

"He’ll turn up," said Daniel. "Maybe he found something that he wanted to try on and is in the men’s room as we speak."

"Wow, you sound casual." I gave Daniel a look. "What if he happens to get noticed? Then we’re all toast."

"You think too much," said Jimin. "I doubt if he has found something to go and try on. He would’ve told me first."

"Hey, Lee!" Jungkook's voice came from across the store. "Come see this."

Jimin and I turn in the direction of Jungkook’s voice. I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey rush to where he is. Don’t tell me he was also looking for something for me to wear.

I start to walk over to where Jungkook is, and Jimin happens to follow behind me. When I got close, I couldn’t help but see stars in the three women’s eyes as they looked at the Hanbok Jungkook picked out.

"Ah, this is so pretty!" Zoey exclaimed. "Sam will look amazing in this one."

"What do you think, Sam?" Jungkook, showing me what he had chosen.

The Hanbok he picked was a white blouse and purple skirt. The skirt is beautifully designed with pleats and waist strings. At the bottom of the hem, there were beautiful flower patterns. I had to admit that Jungkook picked a pretty Hanbok.

"It looks lovely," I commented.

"Jungkook really has good taste," said Mino, who, with Mike and Daniel, came over to see.
