​​​​​​​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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pfMqG3NrW
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZV4crGBXJb
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wBHovYVUh
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRzoUSlfe1
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub84RfF46Q
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGpwCeqcLp
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ssrVXDsY
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuksSIrzQ0u
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1r098Vzzn
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aO5mbZSqF
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNy6xjbHJM
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVVwFxpqEj
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5uQTtlxFn
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfSxak63X5
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZsMDux7Y
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFjGm0cPWO
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahmttEjL8l
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeObvJacjVc
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xgHwZqlxg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XKCpJDKPG
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5zogXwFdc
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKkfVQ5oUY
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6z9YJD0pZ
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BXbck3BBc
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlowvAigAl
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPECmocfSW
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePks0rR9XG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrBf3Lfo2f
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1fqY5jioH
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkq3m6uC2X
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFjWYdS5Mw
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkyrN6KJd4
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUlHarcnL
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH2CRsfk89
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QNr4ZIc1Q
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5TudsTQB
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcyTseLbxR
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fLKU9znmM
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm0mGnukyf
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlqIPTplmW
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMflO5Pv2N
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGdsqM8dj
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLegsBy6Rx
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4GKy8qiyy
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy62E8az42
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FmW454iq4
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMIaxCElA7
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1gPJm4eRI
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8hcSCyjPE
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwOalzT9B6
"No, tell me. What's going on?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScev666Ehs
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9dlZUWBNN
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3e2A8aji9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVEtRUCjqu
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFkPTL2k5y
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaFJCR3V1Y
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXgbPg492I
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDkl9JllUc
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwcF1Puv65
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXnU6izeUc
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG13Q3kicf
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JOqkNFetW
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkqJ7J9mZx
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TtSuGLFD0
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWehf7GJpsl
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfpFjzN8wm
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkKos5dtOL
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8o7AhCXHp
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaByJUVL2d
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66rTziyKyF
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCbWhoWg21
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs5tY6vUGX
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXZ4AxqAvR
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wd1dPyv1
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmb5nGDzdF
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBvYEkONGS
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYdZFK6g1Y
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyeUViUSIN
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMjXtlwQkG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71K9ITnSA7
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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4YsadGjjG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLYWtm4OUE
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFALcq9p0nx
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwwKwWO3Hg
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLEzKTbM9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSA6Ixf8IR
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytzkpawWr
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9abF0YAh7C
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKTYRz8mNj
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlfm9LR49b
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfpbX2q3je
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNq96aDMvY
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bEX9Y68a7
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xqaEunev
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJcwMahiro
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM6mJhXtux
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtMJNVawU
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSd7Sw5EX0
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbAZvJrWx3
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUY9aVkJH
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeuFM3MTxm
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cNKBnifUs
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXBf1gEWdU
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9alcXb5l2
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPoents06O
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1hjgcnzCS
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTdiDwU9ba
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHW2yVOmLo
"We lie as usual," I answered.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLxXn73i9f
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3SnHMFBe
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5q04hHgaV
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1KT5aPJBT
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rcdxFFpmD
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5t3iiUBPp
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu5psnhtzU
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj6vtKhWZy
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FMLbdMxbG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp6lUJ0HR4
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn4Sa3ksBS
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKu6jGuk33
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWHukAl9q5
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXH9Ls3Y0
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA49EYOAQ7b
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD47B5SdT0M
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXUvAwzmad
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot9qnyXGeM
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuMhj9vyWK
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDcc25o69z
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnhGgtxqsc
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIjYw05K9h
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFD3pviUg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgm5opU4ic
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PDRiYTSSU
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbq2n28YoI
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmoTG6ukX9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtJATj518L
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RudYJUAYp
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5sm8Wy3Kl
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU0F3Vc0Nf
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY4KyadLy4
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR8YJ4ki4B
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdocSQn8W5
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡursVCBcVTy
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iWKpPMpmR
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENOXUl9dt
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwZ7VOBvkf
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLPlKYU2LO
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraYO94W7pO
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVFCq5rjPw
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1iQyc0p5u
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZLx9BSGqo
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyrtjWc9sF
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGVG3etQ2
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sMYu4uTfO
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1lAtXBQZg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOybqP9id0T
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5dqNwNTj8
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdON69lyy4v
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMLF2xFSNx
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH7KFYAtCY
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7Cg7kEyk
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExMJVpkkqk
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo767Wi2Ejd
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1kQAO8Jer
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiRyv31T9Z
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO6DaXWOgU
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAGwzRttK8
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NWTl2rOWk
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gYFX4pqmg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OseU2mgXu
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZoobXTsid
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrSqUsyfWX
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZlQB3ufhK
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nAkPqyvmf
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD20VlYwsI
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8cMaXhf7C
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz80UB3iVF
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83xo7Y9Lj4
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7i1xfzeCb
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EAXNclbs6
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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpgRJi25r0
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BQTxygwbU
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofqSQoBz7j
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEI7DVyIWP
"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?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7OH4njAlg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EiCaVqHkl
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4WxAJzRba
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUOOO01TIo
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarPxM32sJV
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdRvVKcyk6
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp8wpKS6H3
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWfMfzhtoP
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS160QXnxwH
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIxfn02w6q
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1RJIE2h3N
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLWM1XSuvL
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosNFCwIlbi
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9mrPgEFKR
"I agree," said Christine.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagrGdP9OE
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYYF3hqZQ2
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBN5OdyP3h
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASOvDoxS93
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdq2XNpGAm
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTLSWsUbvd
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6pUF8rqAj
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR06eJ5O28
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l1X0AMP3V
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUalHpBN8l
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMRPLfAuqH
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7wEljNsj
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P8iHfTbvG
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8MeqNfaOR
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4LDv97oWY

385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerbLOPU0k7
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsT7UWtHFK

385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk6nmlKjmf
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJGdWDOoN
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOFy7oDoMF
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDOBOitGuC

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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpmOH17VFI

"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplCVJKEJbl
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBdIdBClVL
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhQjuVWdRL
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr3eobo5TZ
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr7t3DK5kh

"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZXzUDQPu

"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl5ZEXeUQW

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ2XDRgnQg
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcvmWaYbAo
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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzfY7swy5r
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYDjfUTrod
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wIle55x1S

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO6FBio0oP

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVQF4IUwC7
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaznMp62Zlq
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2BgSDpmoI
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGrNTkVJFR
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyHGlfuPsr

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwg9yag78O

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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPCSTb9Yv9

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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xY84ANSgj
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfCBPeizUi
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qWOO9eB9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCb6gok5pT
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpenPkhao6o
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5AyOczmwI
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVgUgRpN9
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwwL4GzMui
"How do I look?" he asked me.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3vXzf2Dbv
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyWlLoTbzH
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB41EfaMvc6
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1XbxXv4rf
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMXBbRX9Du
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRwYeO8qHE
"What about me?" Jimin asked.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhmt85gwq
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KQ9fHcd36
"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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBu1Ji0eS2
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRUYgfx7f3
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiULUZTyCZr
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFTmHxOPpk
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHyoJbCaHG

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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRkNWz4Mt4

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolUMHu3gPB

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GqXRQ7hub
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINAPEWAxBx
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnaD9vjJMk
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDSqlVCm4K
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEq5gOdnX8

"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWskQ0tvUsM

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEfFmKDc19
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCqABonAY
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡythMomLuG8
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYSP8Cdhjh
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR1vF8ZY6h
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64GJnEwY9E
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNegPcAubLY
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fl95eKlzV
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMxFa77S2
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij2Xh12VqL
"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."385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rF27MSsBO
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHxDO4aaj
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS6BUSWHyb

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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe0WrylK1g
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNENcFKL0WU
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvMVRktFmj
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg6BBeLxNN
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.385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0vro2cYT
