​​​​​​​After telling the rest of the Toxins about the news of Zoey's disappearance, they were now all wide awake and quite frantic. Christine even went ahead to retrieve her phone from her room to try and call Zoey. Mike muttered about how he was going to give Zoey an earful when she got back to the hotel. Daniel, just like me, didn't say much, but the look on his face said it all. He was worried.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGzBTm7Dyh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4ceqPYRG
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ69wJigQr1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTo1bghGgO
"All the more reason to find her," said Lee. She had her phone in hand. I wondered if she was also trying to call Zoey.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPfZYvJ8t
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgenuOx1ax
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5onDEC8IvP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHCxv31NyE
"He'll be furious," I said. "The question is where she could have gone. Seoul is a big city, and she isn't familiar with the place."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS7Vb7BmXv
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ89sHLOqAY
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGuhFICczf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZGNsLvQKR
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcTnhYCSOt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4U0nJhiKO
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPRSfvnEr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC7gXirLAe
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHFYHUUgOI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUSuOCdzJc
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP9Hj3I04O
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn1Bl0c6FJ
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Aokb438t
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tIHb5lALJ
"If we were back home, tracking her phone wouldn't be a problem with the connections I have," said Lee. "But we're on different territory, and we might just track unwanted attention."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVXkXOYASd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAniMeAq5Cm
"Well, we just have to stick to the basics, then," I said. I turned to Christine. "Call G-Dragon. If we find Johnny, we might find Zoey."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzme0cS7ClH
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS9BRWb50W
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCuSOXor83
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkMIPX95EK
The rest of us waited in silence as we all stood, hoping for G-Dragon to answer. Finally, he did. Christine put the phone on loudspeaker for everyone to hear.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqsFsTBGhO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh3QflJEhv
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpUyAbtzjZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgkB7hnEeJ
"No, this is the only time I've called," said Christine. "I called to ask you something. Do you know where Johnny is? Is he with you by any chance?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYYP4LLkxw
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubkdWOP9JM
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wqu2Pl0Zo
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXzwTcmB6f
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOv7ljbT3g
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW1COimjF5
"Not really. All I know is that he stays at some hotel not very far from my place. Hey, why are you asking about him? Is it about what happened this afternoon? You do know he didn't cut the power, right?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bI1wTnI7J
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz8VtB6Aen
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY3sVLcJ60
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjManzguDXL
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5aw0fayPU
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO2FuHhXft
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi084edlmG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrVXip4yfb
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxgk3zqjKd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9rR9JDNmq
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xJlLRK9vY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyHXJkhPFO
"No, tell me. What's going on?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRtNvk8JBQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5zshXkzvh
The rest of us, who were quite like mice, turned to Christine. Lee shook her head, telling her not to tell him about Zoey. Christine looked like she was about to break into a sweat. If there's one thing she's not really good at, it's telling a genuine lie at gunpoint.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm6cYkAbb1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboCNdCdA3
"Oh, uh... Zoey here was being paranoid earlier, thinking that Johnny might come for us here like he did at the YG building," Christine lied nervously. "But we tried convincing her that it couldn't happen and that he was far away from us. Plus, we have guards, so he can't go past them."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYTUpydc6x
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bBvUvDmOW
G-Dragon was silent for a minute, and we thought he hadn't bought it until he started to chuckle. Phew! That was a close one.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswrGfUY99I
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Uu4Tb07X
"Zoey really is a drama queen," he said. "Tell her that if it makes her feel better, I can come over and she can scratch my face off."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkxDEEDSkY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGZC4JrGob
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRQAcpsl3
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfhM5pRATS
"Oh, no. I'm beat for the day. Plus, I need to rest up. There's something I want to work on later. Tell everyone I said hi. As for Zoey, tell her to get a chill pill."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsKmTRptF8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7yd1ily68
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoVmHVOPRV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64dZzsG3Oi
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ou1KiPDHA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbmmKea8D
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1zYRCrwT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zlQINUBTQ
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefNPglnq0x
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXy010BNJn
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDkfMWuvBx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H2veNxjUU
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftIcH9Tmbr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo35XmgCZzG
"Enough," I said as I threw Lee and Christine a look. They looked like they were going to burst into laughter. "Think. Zoey went out to look for Johnny, but where could she have gone? She couldn't have left without knowing where he was."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitJ20X1Nw
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQho77ZgJa
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiGExn0y35
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihf3p2Iys3
My mind clicked, and I soon snapped my fingers. "Social media. She must have seen something there." I turn to Christine, who already has her phone in her hand. "Check Johnny's Instagram account. We might find something there."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDETPzZFIj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm86rxoual
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0asp4c7mD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBy6JKxx7m
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEGtyBKjve
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv3mkNkjD5
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnviGRXNYD1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6qATDtYoH
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj8g7dieTe
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndnxTzXqYJ
"Not really," said Mike as he scrolled through Johnny's feed. "Usually the places he posts about have pictures with him in them. His recent post shows a map of where he is going to be for the night."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sFdoYe1Pl
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMiJwxW0hY
"Could this be a trap?" I asked without much thought. "It's strange that he could post where he is going to be. Could he have known that one of us might take the bait?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77FGuqGEy9
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBvpeiVOFG
"Considering how mad Zoey still is about what happened earlier and how dense she could be, then yes," Mike answered with a nod of his head. "She's taken the bait. That's if it was really his plan from the very beginning."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoqaBEJyqV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcIMSqazSe
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrkiY0FiBp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUXD68oYre
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnfbkOcrXD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91bf2SGdHX
"It looks like we have to go there," said Christine as she took her phone from Mike. "But what are we going to do when Collins shows up?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3pOhy44kV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pH3co3NgI
No sooner had Christine said those words did we hear the sound of the elevator reaching our floor. We all looked at each other, horrified. He's already here.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMNxhrQc83
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWEZB0Zamu
"Tell him that you guys plan to go out for the night to relax your mind after a long day," said Lee. We could hear footsteps coming in the hall. "He'll believe you."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gDG96aDHo
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC5NluRHym
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhwTbh0uRR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzISIBDLRu
"We lie as usual," I answered.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7xNMv0atq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ioEe33xX5
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTfQWeFjYA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7a9od5Iqn
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeYNaCKuLF
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw6Vu5Xgnk
"Your supper is here," Collins announced as a waiter came in, dragging a trolley filled with lovely delicacies. "And you won't believe who I met downstairs. They were coming up to see you."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYk61O0gnV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCMbkamy3R
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1AVZ1vhJy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60HSwVQErf
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzALu2bvqmY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOj57NPhA
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdw3OiInJN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7o86fpSgJ
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1jOEz8PRX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1hqnBwQd
"No, not at all," I said after we broke away from each other, and I went on to hug Jimin. Christine came behind to hug Jungkook. "Nothing could be more thrilling than having you guys over."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTNseI9zhh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8Uyxu4mL
"Hey, you two!" Mike greeted them as he came to join us. "Nice to see you again. Why didn't you all come, the seven of you?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQYNgko7h
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUV8KSgTaS
"Oh, uh, the others are kind of busy," Jimin answered with a smile on his face. "We thought it would be fun to stop by and say hi."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3dVeP0I8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XSK4vuz79
"Or we can go out for the night," I suggested. "We have had a long day, so we thought it would be best to relax by going somewhere. Would you like to come along?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOkwACRa0b
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEvYxMFQo
I could feel Lee and the others eyes on me. I knew what they were thinking. Going out with Jimin and Jungkook might ruin our chance of finding Zoey ourselves. But there's another benefit to all this, and I'm not going to let that slip. With Jimin and Jungkook, who know Seoul very well, finding the place will be a piece of cake.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGWzdUT3ha
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdyFtppv19
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui79UN9TF3
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqjc9sHU3W
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r267FsiQ5
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMkSA1XY6c
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBaLnqYUfj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKCg21bOu8
"Oh, the kind that leaves her in the shower forever," said Collins. "Make sure to come back before midnight. You still need to rest for tomorrow."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DOE1e2TVm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE50cOkm2f
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1OKeKzak
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSl3v5Oj5W
"Good, I don't want you guys having too much fun. I already had supper, so if you need me, I'll be in my room."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC3KEU98Ke
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVQ89uUgpg
This is perfect. With Collins out of the way, getting out of here without Zoey won't be an issue. Now we have to tell Jimin and Jungkook. We can't find Zoey without them.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGGtY3MAXd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMb9XmqbT
Collins went to his room, and the rest of us went on to eat supper, offering Jimin and Jungkook to join us, which they did. While we ate and chatted joyfully around the table, I kept thinking about how to tell the two without causing much alarm.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOb2qwpXuy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqFC0OgCkh
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFuE0z2KH
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhgayhWAIh
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahb0WBLSb2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhohSZCel2N
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqOHUWxYsb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrpanxuHPA
"Are you saying you lied to Collins?" Jimin asked as he kept his voice down. It looked like he knew perfectly well the intensity of the situation.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCunENbaC4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjJFwZsLS6
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXEEeWcVAt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nUtXoy2Qi
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHNqmO9kXw
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2Uf1RbW9
"Yeah." I scratched the back of my head as I continued to laugh nervously. "We didn't want to use you like this, but since you know Seoul so well, you might help us out without Collins knowing."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpYkdekyof
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAoh5M6Fbu
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C2s0raE75
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EzP3jHpzg
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0sNMJCwbY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLFwKIqi5D
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO4c7BAJa9
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdQ68QLD7G
"She's angry," Mike answered. "But at someone, and she's out looking for him. We'll explain in more detail once we hit the road."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25ikq1sNRn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyE6606P7A
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxODx4MKDF
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ndAlkVEtj
As soon as we were done with our supper, the rest of us Toxins went to quickly prepare ourselves to go out. I checked on the little black kitten and found it wide awake. I made sure to leave it some milk and closed the door so that it wouldn't wander off. Before we left, Christine and I went to Collins' room to tell him that we were leaving. We found him working on his laptop while he sat on his bed. He gave us a glance and waved to us, telling us that we should be careful out there. We told him we would and closed the door.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEcIHfBlFi
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAeehcSac
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0SgQSXnA4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaUBrW8X2s
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa96wau5IX1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IOFAReOMY
Christine, who had her phone in her hand, showed him Johnny's photo on his Instagram feed. "Here," she said. "She probably saw this and thought of going there to find him."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDgvR011Pr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5MfFznWSh
"Wow, the guy was really clear about his location," said Jungkook, who also took a look at the photo. "But we know the place. The problem is, there will probably be a lot of people there, and they will spot us the minute we get there."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ189Cao4CdV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWddWqGrZb
"Great," said Mike. The elevator now came to a stop, and the doors flew open. We all walked out into the lobby. "Do we have to wear masks or what?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXd8otFqGp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEouFylRp2i
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDzx84sg81
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfQq6AySbw
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzjPlA0qVw
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs3f1XpD59
"Not a mask that covers your whole face," said Lee. "He means the surgical face masks. If they don't want their admirers to recognise them, many Korean celebrities choose to move around like that. But some with very distinctive features might not always get away with it."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln9uldhvTE
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FGlZsvxYz
"And these two just happen to be with one of them," I said as we stopped in the middle of the lobby, looking at Jimin and Jungkook.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8TtiL2q81
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7PFOciOam
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7C4xpUQXP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS6n2RVzx2
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIWFbGasqG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHa6VUfPcu
"I agree," said Christine.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVvYuzCBL

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHmS9Lkbpo
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJUgLsrdh8

"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU9kn9vkpK

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteL1ZZbHXS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZIwXs6rFY
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmYOrmiF63
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2mnCEMlVE
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHrsXwSMr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMmzjONZ3a
Without wasting any time, we all made our way out of the hotel, with the car waiting for us on the driveway. When we got in, Jungkook told the driver exactly where to go.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUwdrti4nM

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjRntCRbGb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEpH844gpI
"I told you not to come with me," said Zoey as she also looked around. Unlike Mino, she had a hoodie over her head and sunglasses on that hid her face. If people noticed Mino, no doubt they would also be able to pinpoint her.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN5Dyx1xBN

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLps7MZiNHj
"Please do," said Zoey as she looked around. There were so many people, but so far, no one recognized them. "The last thing I need is a whole mob of fans chasing me down."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleNGsmt9If
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGfY9nHF2d
With so many stores around, it wasn't difficult for Mino to find a mask and sunglasses. Lucky enough, the man he bought them from didn't seem to recognize them, which was even better.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlICjWgRzXf

Zoey couldn't help but look in awe as there were many stores, open bars, and restaurants. Not to mention the brightly coloured signs that were quite attractive to the human eye. There were many people buying things, some having a good meal at a restaurant, and others in the bar they had just passed that had a live band performing. So much was going on that Zoey couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by what she saw.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ7mLn6ZB0

"Wow, this place is so lively," she said to Mino beside her. "I don't think I've ever seen so many people in one place."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOcepb3ll3

"I'm surprised you haven't come here yet," said Mino, raising his eyebrows behind his glasses. "If you are a night owl, this is the perfect place to be in Seoul."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapShsANtif
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF5e2OPVrt
Mino went on to explain how the street got its name from Hongik University, which happens to be an Arts college just near there. The art prowess of the school is how the street came to be showcasing all kinds of arts, from street music performers to dancers, as well as urban arts and underground club culture. Not to mention the graffiti murals painted all around the streets, which Zoey couldn't help but notice were quite fascinating. There were also many clothing and vintage stores.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP18y225xEZ

"This place really is something," said Zoey as she noticed a performer with a guitar in front of a store. He gathered quite a crowd who listened to his beautiful singing.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AXhFFiRlS

"It's good I came with you then," said Mino. "There is so much here that you can easily get lost. And the club Johnny will be going to happens to be really popular."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIh9XWzsvU

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcv2ywSrUM
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfrQrMk0mh
Mino chuckled at how gullible she was. "That's the thing, Zoey. There are so many clubs here, no one can tell which is the best even if you were to ask."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRteVEPEvBv
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93daY7QlR0
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsfvgGH2F7

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlgYqhq0El

Zoey stopped walking and folded her arms, looking at Mino. Mino stopped to look at her. "What's with you guys and meat anyway?" she asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7tj1UNAkN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt6P1bLbI0
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ImOEXXvTk

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO60oYCv24Y

Mino smiled. "Now that's what I'm talking about." He quickly took Zoey's hand and dragged her along with him to God knows where.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4SLCoSFl

Lee entered the car from the front and started to hand out the sunglasses she had just bought from a store. We were apparently close to the Hongdae neighbourhood. Not only that, we had no idea that the place was also close to YG Entertainment. We decided to put on our masks from afar so as not to attract attention. Jimin and Jungkook had already warned us that Hongdae is a very popular place and usually crowded at night, so it will be best not to be seen wearing them.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlopqeYUCN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBP1WPZM5l
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFPBXJcvL9
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2DeJV1vO3
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPeYPQADLg
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBE7T22E3A
"The scarves will do great," I said, as I passed over a black scarf to Daniel, who sat in the back seat. He took it and wrapped it around his neck, partly covering his face as he already had a black surgical mask and glasses on.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU0Nord64t
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Rn6mtUsgi
"How do I look?" he asked me.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjynxooJm1T

"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmtfEHc87w
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL6PvjsWTf
Jimin, who sat next to me, had his hoodie over his head and a black face mask on. He decided to put on the dark glasses, and he turned to look at me.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZHLqZZU1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JilHc9DIp
"What about me?" Jimin asked.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrklBjOzt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwm4XWM819
"Perfect incognito," I said. With the large hoodie over his head, you couldn't even recognize him. I also have a hoodie, and I started to wonder if it would be able to hide my face.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfPghLTx7b
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00xupqRGV
I put the face mask on and the hoodie over my head. "Do I need to wear glasses or put on a scarf?" I asked Jimin.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ljibpQauX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzBujrzEKF
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnUTfoTjWz

Lee put on a scarf around her head and wore sunglasses. If you didn't know her very well, you wouldn't even recognize her.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ioC7Kqdl

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxUrAagI3t

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK8nku40bR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZY9pnhKHv
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xqZqcw5GW
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlzPyG9P6I
Everyone turned to look at him, and Jungkook, who sat next to him, said, "You honestly look fine to me." Jungkook had on a mask, glasses and a hoodie over his head.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw0MgbmAVs

"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74XkfNiFI4

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPjzKOVPCc
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKDVC0MtqN
"Okay, it looks like we are all ready to go," I said, trying my best not to laugh at Mike's joke. "I think it will be best if the driver drops us off close to the street."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl62KteISiD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg2GXG46Qt
Everyone agreed, and the driver took us a little closer to Hongdae, parking across the street. It didn't take a minute to realize that it's such a busy and popular place, as I saw all kinds of people in different age groups walk around casually, visiting some of the stores we happened to see first on the street. Jimin and Jungkook weren't joking about this place. We'd all need to keep our eyes peeled if we were going to find Zoey in this crowd.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyRrqD2DQI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yOm8g4AMK
"Goodness," said Lee as she looked out the window. "If we weren't out looking for Zoey, this would've been the perfect time to chill and do some shopping. I've seen some lovely dresses in that store."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHKUhUXI1T
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx8DfEzKrg
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqfUYTa8pq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGdoV7r9Fw
"Let's not get too distracted," I said, knowing fully well how they felt. "If we find Zoey before she meets Johnny, we can do whatever we want. Providing that we have to keep an eye on her."384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhfYG9Fzpt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgHkHCz659

Christine opened the door to the passenger side and got out first, followed by Jimin and me. I wasn't only greeted by the cold night air, but there was also a certain vibing aura about the place. Something tells me that this vibrant place is the place to be when you want to have fun or a late night out.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZpgmpMhz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o605ieHvV
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAND9vXdUO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9O6P71LF
Gosh, I wish we were only here to have a good time. But I had to keep my mind focused on finding Zoey. I hope the others can tone down their enthusiasm until we find her. That's if she hasn't caused any trouble yet.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1aXorcONn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ruaKXrt8X
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzazFc8dVI
