​​​​​​​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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiSBSuAycq
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY5k9ZNYWD
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxFNC4TGda
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEiMxiVlvo
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27ogSHoZEW
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPnrOeWwvj
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9PYGQIkWe
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL1E40kVAN
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ocy3ODAu
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFNOgATe7T
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBui4XZotLa
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagP08lXr5p
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgNOGFUob5
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzYBgxCzHx
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm16fYySP7h
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgfHpe6Ojz
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCXsgi2fH
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2VKaFKRQ8
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5yqSTBw4U
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3B6PKgXke
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQBTeM1xe0
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgWFJrAKmw
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLXf1lRpQE
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nvvDm83zJ
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0OJMIlFUm
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDoBjw2vVh
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1cDBBCKTr
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJtp6M2Amb
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKD7yVUgZi
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN8C7bDYaF
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU9hnLpMLh
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR9bwEHsAo
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlCgi3wIAo
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PnBJBe3Z
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH7iIM9qxq
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5299VO4KFM
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5SOXrDNS9
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAUcdQ5ow
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7FTw3K3O7
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM6wJzjeRo
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRqPkNGg5
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dQVUatRXT
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEQgduRYBI
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZdIQEzor
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxGzkEEngt
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz2pHeorFu
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZRp4M1GQP
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YiV4B4fu
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyvNgNfem
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s5Qcg5Qoz
"No, tell me. What's going on?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFEgGJDhCV
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3diItweSlZ
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS1PVNiATR
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXKRUQ5QLQ
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXgLBvMvXZ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxBl0ZfK0x
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YTGNY660F
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5LXAJsmAB
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1MRgomzvS
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjf0v2HjjA
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1q957ONMU
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP1W1psxHt
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CI64KQlE6
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKX5xkRrbp
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLqzBYita
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cxeowa37S
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWlHLPlrTh
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zGSc2tJLh
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc80ZrcC3cQ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzNVw2opHH
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDftg7D1vC
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HunFIJHAO
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ExGVE9hj
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CKlFwoZzy
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMPASO2rUE
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkb5MNZHfO
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkTgpaDqOx
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsxcvkKpuy
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeksdo8ryX
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5wHWq5pMS
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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCTAUy3DgK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2yAw49Iyt
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xHIQgtiX8
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB3kzGHleM
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQvBRohtCf
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkS05HEEGH
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIhvtVawG8
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufyl34wZIA
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bnnUPNhbE
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtLydJMZZc
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFqvYofCax
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NKUv8Iidd
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7l9AOnoDb
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9vaeHOifp
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPwTWCBFSK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgINO8pnKv
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYhATNmK33
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWmTfnp8oY
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctCcTuokhh
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaAi0LQmbc
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZZA5G4Ta
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69UwtTIQlv
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18Ww9aAQW
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPaWlw1fr
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc47jzFrb6u
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sSdN5ymFT
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCNlTPb5iH
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSjkcfmlDq
"We lie as usual," I answered.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOUq5oOTZs
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiFj8prXIk
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6w7HYgwX3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl8SjR2hl4
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57zk62etzS
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtaAINoRyb
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMSHdnvxjc
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuirjfnVTEb
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivbLDfGjLQ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzTG2TA3Bi
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZuRXSOfE2
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66eO0oW7Pw
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmmZWQiLT3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeArZ8XMW0e
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OcEzoOYwn
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6uD3Jfzjo
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zf8PAD68m
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmhCL6pxbF
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgoXQ4VrFd
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bvPaJMtsB
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaUDg1RCi2
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBNwyP1ur
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT8C7oICuG
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4bMZgwlh0
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157Xy5d1RZ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEJ9nh55Ar
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyydOBmnDD
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoR5OPdS1j
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IRMkfVs9F
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqkD47jDP7
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyunhMZfbU2
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iep730KS8
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGfkLIJltl
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjce7brEwmD
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvf9cIGgDx
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksBk9ak4cn
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxFs8Ag6yV
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyABN1PogW
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB641mOetP5
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LvRcSKETY
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKL5MX0Pnu
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d0P5pXKbX
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkuxBGCG7l
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkhooC7fN9
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBltJ4Ld0N
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFAruGJZkk
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YLhs8d8wb
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75S4cDhDyh
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zajzSpG98
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJRWXgFEkV
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCPNRAOU6e
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrIupBX7DB
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5kIARBh1q
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFNvOsmfdU
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zRLc3RDC3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9sR85F3fi
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9HNRui4n3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtlBhT0WHy
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFp0ZcT4DB
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF3Rm1mQHc
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7YjCKqWRh
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gaxqyR8WN
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7VZ62f4F0
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGS0xv67a3
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wnxI2OkbL
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxF27R2I6
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJPhC85oX
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoloDczdva
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTDJbTo0nY
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKM9409mK2
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2VtxOdaeo
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZUD72U3Sq
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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ6QFfqbLq
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTe1uW0SVK
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtru4FwScGc
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs3KqPw2Nj
"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?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMwzVEZvBV
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BIPVzGdFi
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3Rtik6Jn
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnbJqMk4Kz
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNP5MGY8DX
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvQj5SEeuJ
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegYOX1HxK1
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqNodFrUF4
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6Y4Il78g
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEmvxF7iNN
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19zgJDpSux
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1cmHDCwEU
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1TtMNrmmK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtS5KbdCSt
"I agree," said Christine.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNgtLYFaN
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpwq8tQCxT
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfKLzgefEq
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmu0On3xFo
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PNYeu2wFE
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I6V8t6nmm
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGnpbtEQDO
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmySAhZyvY
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qI91XQI2H
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pvRsiCV4J
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBbU3lcjLO
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWm5Dmova
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHpUaozcWw
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJuIg9aIOR
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDPXGIBtf

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjFkTgG9BK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2YBQrUprU
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZLXcMS1Ai

"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7wXq3LKeK
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllO8bOSN95
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgZT5Jgehu
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLL48L6yIo
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMVDsZbX4

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqvoZigy2

"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeO5fLEAA8
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcEN14UbXO
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmOKGI4eYd
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkka1Tt5ow
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe3idFPYhy

"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFLcWvrUA5

"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcXKwEWAsu

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DlIeWQ8NF
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbxSSVMzUD
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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeYFlE7JtH
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPktxaVbDgl
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXKz6RPwLx

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EMfX9Jpmw
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPRrm8SIpQ
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdiezrAvwU
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H39CXaYpw
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA5KsOk3CP

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoe5C1xK1t

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeEZGGvm2Q

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvSjLGJxv0
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnLrsDGZcZ
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi6EH12ZQ7
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlioS439J9J
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgSfseNfj0
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrS13WPQo4h
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPotfgMPSf

"How do I look?" he asked me.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m8QZKEeAa

"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0KEzWeIG

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IycqBhZo
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp7cc6JCdc
"What about me?" Jimin asked.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9frGkqKDEm
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqVDz1sap
"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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuz04grEL3
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1HHSJOBRn
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHWoQWHba
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJrfBzOHCV

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRGFbshaYk

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrFepp9s13

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB2HQr3vcz

"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYbNuu21gy
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61seXBKdeu
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3VcKAcQBf

"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsl9ORJaYl

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JAM17EljN

"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVv8NFnKd8
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFARKnzc1FL
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNzJUC9VSh
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnKcAJImVa
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznoovWIdDW
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1iCQG8f3
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGor1qKeqTe
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNaWLLl46H
"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."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwf6a9DrSZ
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxlniVqpU5

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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCduhN5OaR

"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyDvsKiUvw
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhEPf6jZ2l
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.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rSNV5z38D
