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.157Please respect copyright.PENANACyPXE2LyTY
157Please respect copyright.PENANACTbDD4Yih3
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.157Please respect copyright.PENANAzfpQZFPpmJ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtx6iTKUg0w
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAInpAWBExcK
157Please respect copyright.PENANAiWR473YNfQ
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."157Please respect copyright.PENANAdQBEZ5IzXY
157Please respect copyright.PENANA5qOgK95xq2
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANA9h6nE0HOlY
157Please respect copyright.PENANAiCJHX04aRd
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."157Please respect copyright.PENANAB9rSEyMkG3
157Please respect copyright.PENANALPovS8mfsi
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAU4jFFNYiaQ
157Please respect copyright.PENANA8K9d5xbTh7
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.157Please respect copyright.PENANAuSs6kaasmr
157Please respect copyright.PENANAj7tgk0RnVq
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?157Please respect copyright.PENANAjRTnJHkF7v
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPBdvi9FcD0
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.157Please respect copyright.PENANAZx4gWlBxHi
157Please respect copyright.PENANARPM1hxemCv
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."157Please respect copyright.PENANArLt3xmpkvh
157Please respect copyright.PENANANoymxpW25k
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANA50OCMtQbfY
157Please respect copyright.PENANAy0GNbVu022
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAogVEq2LVjG
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyPCrNHeGCp
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.157Please respect copyright.PENANAnYSQplPjUx
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGR4SbWskBh
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANABxCunwZMqB
157Please respect copyright.PENANADhloVtAkKI
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."157Please respect copyright.PENANAXAcbdIwGqi
157Please respect copyright.PENANAgehKEoKbrA
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAGhF72bVuD4
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJF5C9UDfUL
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."157Please respect copyright.PENANAfceGGxPW9h
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoCaUlNYTOk
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"157Please respect copyright.PENANALlu4hlTBog
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtQTQRU7XXU
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAn2c89tHw0d
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVAHG3oegnn
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."157Please respect copyright.PENANAeMKHfBDWns
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvoTrDtq15O
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."157Please respect copyright.PENANA40B3iNElxX
157Please respect copyright.PENANAbFdp8Neqdb
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."157Please respect copyright.PENANAWXJPCvw22H
157Please respect copyright.PENANAHAoJnuw4eC
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAibq6Ki88hx
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPVGz71PvK2
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."157Please respect copyright.PENANAGJpaOj9fXl
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKw77vWziA1
"No, tell me. What's going on?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAR6atyxsfr2
157Please respect copyright.PENANAY8a7Er9kZV
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAC21o3Olr6s
157Please respect copyright.PENANAo5sx5pLvQO
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAWfjf90jNHA
157Please respect copyright.PENANAra1hhjqNuU
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAWPb5HyZkNw
157Please respect copyright.PENANASGltxvWVjw
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAE9yBltgFZR
157Please respect copyright.PENANApz01IQfZH4
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.157Please respect copyright.PENANANXzIpBwCm5
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0e4PkvD414
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAFsdFRpdSmz
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0tkVaEWIZR
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."157Please respect copyright.PENANAQxHcWnFgaN
157Please respect copyright.PENANAEj3VBuMN97
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."157Please respect copyright.PENANA4ByfSqoJ8l
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz9lz9vzWZt
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.157Please respect copyright.PENANAnayQZZ6cVm
157Please respect copyright.PENANA5nbIR3GPFD
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.157Please respect copyright.PENANAQfSzl4SofF
157Please respect copyright.PENANAATyW5vFeGY
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."157Please respect copyright.PENANAKI7rsNS89Q
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkCna5wxskk
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.157Please respect copyright.PENANAAfmb7UQLC9
157Please respect copyright.PENANAevaFItG4Mr
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAJikmwZGOMy
157Please respect copyright.PENANACiPjoFYpSf
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."157Please respect copyright.PENANAk53GvOvMUL
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmghijEDzWm
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."157Please respect copyright.PENANASPhlEXJugq
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKN4Jp1x9hL
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."157Please respect copyright.PENANAEEAwPRVmYw
157Please respect copyright.PENANALpjUf6UpcL
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAVoKZN4dxK0
157Please respect copyright.PENANAXI3xmvA0Bf
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."157Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nau3jda36
157Please respect copyright.PENANAntVT91c08X
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.157Please respect copyright.PENANARYh6ATPSMS
157Please respect copyright.PENANARBEVnNkZUH
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANALxCqBDhhbv
157Please respect copyright.PENANATo9MUlVuNW
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAX9uqF2BOxO
157Please respect copyright.PENANAl81Zzs7ueo
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAYfVxYZPnqV
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoXaIKwU3An
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.157Please respect copyright.PENANA5lYBbOjRAL
157Please respect copyright.PENANAh3uyxXio7y
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.157Please respect copyright.PENANAXpzmwz0cHG
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtq3OCyJt2k
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAMKjTP3ygag
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4sL7oPcLFn
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAKTxuU5qkox
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPRcp0sc9MR
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANADHss1qsAar
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvEzJBaQIXf
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.157Please respect copyright.PENANAeDdoSAA5Ty
157Please respect copyright.PENANAed7ZN5TG48
"We lie as usual," I answered.157Please respect copyright.PENANAdsHK0kVroW
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMlsAddgTET
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."157Please respect copyright.PENANAXvOrvjfjZy
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQnokWrGupW
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.157Please respect copyright.PENANABtUygLUWRl
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVxDpFwTWUU
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAQYhvhzBqK4
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuDyrL6u6kB
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.157Please respect copyright.PENANARRclwc2zUB
157Please respect copyright.PENANAz7bpSk38gF
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.157Please respect copyright.PENANA6J7xtvLQxs
157Please respect copyright.PENANAcYG8zJyiyD
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."157Please respect copyright.PENANAleLytfLMj8
157Please respect copyright.PENANANNyxux9Hj0
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.157Please respect copyright.PENANAa8KUfMPJoP
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWG8hdvbz7w
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAzg4EC6bHMj
157Please respect copyright.PENANAjEfw2StDRh
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANA0BHwT8lB5l
157Please respect copyright.PENANApiM1CcuElu
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAU18qc3bvPM
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvbEhRmZJT6
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAx0hR4lDz67
157Please respect copyright.PENANAo2DX7RM1Na
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAcZscGHpIAI
157Please respect copyright.PENANABaxwaxoVVQ
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."157Please respect copyright.PENANAlVB7WNsYyj
157Please respect copyright.PENANAKYhGu05VZr
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAhNPAoG2AfZ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAA8HlPpboWb
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."157Please respect copyright.PENANAJVAwqjfMup
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMSbGBYeWFb
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAIAXgZ3V1z7
157Please respect copyright.PENANABHAAqQ69Pg
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.157Please respect copyright.PENANAsMjbRvMFk9
157Please respect copyright.PENANAOuYCtSwIQu
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAeqgKnUFYwC
157Please respect copyright.PENANAabJUa0sB91
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAjBJBKz8TPv
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4vc32V6Ua4
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAWiCCH9pCch
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzO85o74MBn
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."157Please respect copyright.PENANA57CtLfY1ek
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuV0slKFn2f
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."157Please respect copyright.PENANADCcHn24e8m
157Please respect copyright.PENANAnLejKzTxLW
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.157Please respect copyright.PENANAhSZhMDfCAI
157Please respect copyright.PENANALtDcTHjX4k
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAHp7DOTSdWs
157Please respect copyright.PENANAgsCSzmGo49
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."157Please respect copyright.PENANAtN7Sk2H8QM
157Please respect copyright.PENANA1tV1lkC9H7
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."157Please respect copyright.PENANAp4SqYZGP0J
157Please respect copyright.PENANAITYhRX5r97
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAVwvLS3EICr
157Please respect copyright.PENANA3HWq2zZ6lc
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."157Please respect copyright.PENANAna1jqjlvJN
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPUA0qvVzGq
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.157Please respect copyright.PENANAqJcIEUHfrW
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPbqLUXVP49
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.157Please respect copyright.PENANAFDEi8NSpiD
157Please respect copyright.PENANADAkcQT06Sn
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAyFTBk4FokK
157Please respect copyright.PENANAkXobkulvYN
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."157Please respect copyright.PENANAKFsTwsHA3y
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0iiQbvLJV3
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA19uSRBKyIE
157Please respect copyright.PENANA3chzUlBGPW
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.157Please respect copyright.PENANAYVkNFveMDH
157Please respect copyright.PENANADSHb1tJ3qp
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.157Please respect copyright.PENANA1XzWA0aQ6z
157Please respect copyright.PENANArqfv1C343b
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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAb40uHaIF8j
157Please respect copyright.PENANAlmmuMUrB8Z
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAoEUbzdjRWx
157Please respect copyright.PENANAp2pem93y8b
"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?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAoCQGuow5qp
157Please respect copyright.PENANAR5ZkLPEV03
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.157Please respect copyright.PENANAxzVFbL2v5I
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVURboiH5yz
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.157Please respect copyright.PENANA7BOtt2nlHI
157Please respect copyright.PENANAdtT4G385lg
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANArwIExeSLDp
157Please respect copyright.PENANA43AVQWzdLI
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA2o6QMmJTqP
157Please respect copyright.PENANArCJPbcuP75
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.157Please respect copyright.PENANAILaPk4zsqM
157Please respect copyright.PENANAxTuDkxDh1K
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.157Please respect copyright.PENANAPR5usoTHL4
157Please respect copyright.PENANAICoW2cxzfi
"I agree," said Christine.157Please respect copyright.PENANANJgMGZBsgB
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzjkExGaAz9
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."157Please respect copyright.PENANAsj22CjUl30
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIy9iYzEi1L
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."157Please respect copyright.PENANAgFPP60yX7W
157Please respect copyright.PENANA677EmPiYCc
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."157Please respect copyright.PENANARHx4RS7GVQ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJd1feRq6fS
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."157Please respect copyright.PENANAXYYtSmT5nf
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvUAxCK6n3g
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."157Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9JtwBZcMc
157Please respect copyright.PENANAVj8Y9JBoPD
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."157Please respect copyright.PENANAo5rV1rQ6sf
157Please respect copyright.PENANAV93DHCM2bL
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAsWNQ6NClYL

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.157Please respect copyright.PENANAKhWT4MN0Of
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeLGpLPsk1X
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAbmnQWrp4xz
157Please respect copyright.PENANABMPCN7i3el
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.157Please respect copyright.PENANA1aJjqBU36w
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQak9GAj7aI
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAP0pnsXZJUO
157Please respect copyright.PENANA4SuHsljJXD
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAGNMEBjH7Bm
157Please respect copyright.PENANAoceLzNPzuC
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.157Please respect copyright.PENANAgbQGcdZWSU
157Please respect copyright.PENANAJcgxynWZbY
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.157Please respect copyright.PENANA7szWD6DQ6C
157Please respect copyright.PENANAMcdwcoEiLK
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAvvJxhoQdUm
157Please respect copyright.PENANAto4ZsmLhme
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAuflgYyjvHl
157Please respect copyright.PENANAzRY4BCRkhb
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAriXBWUPgez
157Please respect copyright.PENANAj66JEjGw05
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA3mUoFyhZro

"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAMgGfFtcxjE

"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAEi8iCLX8cg
157Please respect copyright.PENANAciaqnblKYy
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAoJW6qY9hPO
157Please respect copyright.PENANAZPG5vjYlBb
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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAydhsj4wnFB
157Please respect copyright.PENANAD1sEWCKMD7
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."157Please respect copyright.PENANAPZMcUZGzVb

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."157Please respect copyright.PENANAm1fqGFPCKT

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."157Please respect copyright.PENANAKQPb0x2oQE

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."157Please respect copyright.PENANAGBhgmD8q6g
157Please respect copyright.PENANAHbHD1Rzn22
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.157Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Fowr7VvQ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAztyxbX12rg
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."157Please respect copyright.PENANATmruMcdwjC
157Please respect copyright.PENANAeZbjNfWif0
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAcgAw1u52IY
157Please respect copyright.PENANAIYu3Bb1oRo
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.157Please respect copyright.PENANAB9u72Jpdaa
157Please respect copyright.PENANAW9XWKZWfxm
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."157Please respect copyright.PENANAXLBaMdIPih
157Please respect copyright.PENANAQIMMil690S
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA1REwJmefDU

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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAhIXmgqh4BC
157Please respect copyright.PENANAmMKWKsb9gZ
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.157Please respect copyright.PENANAIyobPOUiYm
157Please respect copyright.PENANAvCyMYq0FJ2
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."157Please respect copyright.PENANAlmWFk1zA5O
157Please respect copyright.PENANA0ju0M4bRfP
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAEgLgj6Hatf
157Please respect copyright.PENANAWysoEnnhl0
"How do I look?" he asked me.157Please respect copyright.PENANAQzWOe8I84R
157Please respect copyright.PENANAyCWxcqk1tH
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."157Please respect copyright.PENANADoSlEPIbXu
157Please respect copyright.PENANAuYUXVkk5Pg
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA0edR2Y7kpv
157Please respect copyright.PENANADhQgVjOAbq
"What about me?" Jimin asked.157Please respect copyright.PENANA4QUC4FsWut
157Please respect copyright.PENANA7SHYwYtfDg
"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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAWSf00HZcDX
157Please respect copyright.PENANABT3fFdldB5
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAPleesbqMNn
157Please respect copyright.PENANAng1bDgsMwq
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."157Please respect copyright.PENANATKbxh1zF1S
157Please respect copyright.PENANA2xJj5X1vwO
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAz8kZJjNtDw

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."157Please respect copyright.PENANAdUjvts485v
157Please respect copyright.PENANAtHFy8tVjG1
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"157Please respect copyright.PENANAiu7bh3M9h3
157Please respect copyright.PENANAY9QKYU8t1r
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed157Please respect copyright.PENANAMwxaGQikKa
157Please respect copyright.PENANA9MQzoS5Cqm
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAuxL21VIhTd
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGo5MPtoBHg
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.157Please respect copyright.PENANAX6OZI5xPIM
157Please respect copyright.PENANAGck3JBMQfD
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.157Please respect copyright.PENANAzVbHpkkMX9
157Please respect copyright.PENANArQVDCBvf3u
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAR08Bm9OxG7
157Please respect copyright.PENANAS2X4nzIhkA
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANA5sAHBFEqON
157Please respect copyright.PENANABHdbhugefb
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAWCETQS0Fld
157Please respect copyright.PENANAu0w4thbr6s
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.157Please respect copyright.PENANAbjQQIgazTF
157Please respect copyright.PENANAglpmBy1S6e
"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."157Please respect copyright.PENANAiV7K7p2Hzc
157Please respect copyright.PENANAaP8izC1QDT
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.157Please respect copyright.PENANAGpVFNlLc4o
157Please respect copyright.PENANArKUngH6hGp
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAlPCpTwWP7e
157Please respect copyright.PENANAwmrgqQMt8S
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.157Please respect copyright.PENANATk1repE1s8
157Please respect copyright.PENANAr3ivF3RsNg
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.157Please respect copyright.PENANAEqdgqI3kAZ
157Please respect copyright.PENANAPcJrPE2Gtf
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.157Please respect copyright.PENANAqMn1Jug2SA
157Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9vEMZVSwq
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
