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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3wCqhsai2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBt8VXMMJ
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkn8IHo28p
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbg140m8KH
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF9r2YEskY
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgmw9uXKur
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4A8Nv4zGr
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOHXpLzQMF
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPNdG5JVvH
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5rshb8ALO
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC0RGK6RzE
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BI4zewRtm
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni16OgVoLX
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFsVPrkeIT
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfCKoX0ykf
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu33nwDWabo
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GZSvrdm57
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4Wa5pnO3F
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVCas8nOfw
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjjKM2vTlW
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasNaqe9Rvi
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dFTcd2Gyz
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER1zNgKUDX
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIZiUVKoU
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgzajjzdIp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47HzHVJy5S
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYDJE92EmO
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPMbTjCZxh
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpLQbHAtU
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2moX81tbV
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCMiGZbOwV
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1rFYSt37h
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshygaUHFv
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6HAO2i9fF
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14c4BUNbxn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklq1zxsM5V
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RJIP7sO0o
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMpeA1lnz
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUCVEEuqIx
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvywdFhj1B9
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH86ALlv5nh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOIXu0WYHa
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoWkvUGrIF
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrO9rm6Rfy
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjKtAc4vU
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BqcpOe12l
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNz1NwPY79
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtD4KSR6eD
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgylHl3R4IU
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDUJxZEQyK
"No, tell me. What's going on?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7QKar4nCZ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczlKp8VJ83
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45RiHsLex1
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2inYFRv4
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzQjOTLiqh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGuPyCRlUc
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQdnsJ59w
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtOr1cTva
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxft8JG9OZ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpcgsQ148q
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDofUNqHz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfSxZGJXwy
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCjHxySHp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i5DkDHnH7
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A0qi91Yd2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsJyd7gsrr
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXMrL9DUAd
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzop0InnURC
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3n3PacgMy
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLwcURHwHl
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVCR8v7Iqe
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgzYTpmkQu
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KhnCHitEa
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZiJax5WhO
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnhhm0q2Zk
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY5Eq0U4BV
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBnIYCHRCu
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpLcwzhBUC
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfS1rK767
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsaU3YMLsv
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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIsG8wKrX2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39fb0PX2V
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhfR5UvAVE
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHMnvzAIA
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GTCbesdgw
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69TS3UEsv
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMhjcw8g11
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7CsUv8OfO
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Uuqi1zc0
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRDg7zXnim
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O8J2ucizJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRv4uWixN5
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVSnClqPb
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQJG8RppE
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLaXBgUoBh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSIZkTNVrr
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMx3LCQzhL
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKR73jA9nt
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLGseMDWcC
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H21pahnPD
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKDJ4bqAS9
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI2ah0e5YR
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z1UOcbSuY
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMf7MjqJ3t
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmB4Cf6dpi
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI1AhQg50z
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmO8oi80gA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL3AmUwd7Z
"We lie as usual," I answered.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4VNM5YEjl
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXoK68YUV3
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdurgerir
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJq2LhvQji
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22jwCPX0KV
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjf6r3RC8
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvgiVYoNw5
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WBuxJfDzt
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp4xQLZt5c
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxCFWjUpKu
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst8IXniWmn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10rEbUnsy
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5DC4hK1UA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixCrfk8TVj
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiseCliWNPn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV1J7oh4QD
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhsAN1OZNp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fwkDf3gDP
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTQuHloKEd
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhpsDdNf4i
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4hzh2QH7N
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM3tZPsfea
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCJtDs5dKe
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tXV2c3126
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVj9evwztK
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO41551lw0
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPq9Mq4D6o
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcF6UDadV
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdmlYGp9eH
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8oqHXu6Gc
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSybMxGOBn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdAw2rXDCo
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMwGyJtsnG
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPL203lmhD
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRumQWIZFh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO19A7BoIvp
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQo2XtipiC
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9mpAeqCZ
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvF3ytvDbs
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THJnQUi1M
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ap5JLkcrg
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3QDBmeSnG
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tuSE2Yy9M
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd3VOlm7Bo
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVDozmnaZz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXwwXg8wYv
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanG3KBaA5c
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9xhSPsqd
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqACLDCmRkM
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1yWlPlFpH
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASQTWW7fXd
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbG7ypUX4O
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrM3uCiLT
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjWzV5OuEN
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zih3HNhAm
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnGCQroG1j
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfWoh9uGl2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSxlrBD9T6
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxudcm8AfP
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwViVZiXaCx
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcWYQW73VL
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkeBMWFMam
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbPqSMHgSS
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf4EiX9h0J

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVe5iEhjsA
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFSoYH8l7j
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7FFZdtvl
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7LZdbJJdd
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN1AZ0eGDZ
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAv1qTNWAb
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGzTI8Amx3
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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAX02XtRWt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs3RZrFxKF
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboteVsfEjO
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC3lw2edvo
"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?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB1ztmZvIP
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JBeIxYt6i
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RId7rEUVw
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXC07rPgUm
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyqToCrUPA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62sijj4nkG
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEfaVQwCqF
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgQw5Eop9m
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiRCHVKaf
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLCu4x512f
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ToNP6wga
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFUpkaspBN
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxrDCHZmsX

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrsbEpuRAW
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF1PLN3LzJ
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOhoaeiuYS
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpSassLxwl
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVY3UU1IJG

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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVPh0BsTJA

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV0XL7k6mt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpEsZLF4H
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Uj624uUm

"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JStkOlmje
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv4kisCHym
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8Gjgy1Qry
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFAgYHUCMG
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86PR7YyOAX

She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYuUs69VQ9
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQG36s1UT
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zsTNsyTEd

"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTxBSZnH4r
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNosoBI60hG
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcjk92T15P

"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSu9yKwOZk
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDVg65tEra
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCnvpQjiB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ260lEYaHjF
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRTXSi5JQg
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe3drN0w2M
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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhlmEIaRRX
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpUb03VNo
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFMITV5Oc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5vddBX1c7
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshBCvPd3MJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJNJmLlW77
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY4dX5FWkK
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkT50pyzL
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzeb4mqpKH
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbNoN4F0Pc
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDJlpAgKWt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oTqlRDH91
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrOegvfjs5
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqX9o342gX
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb8dqulU9e
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJw0LfFwZn
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcgDLmOm7s
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x50PPmYYI
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVnfMW3njc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO1t7DoxC6
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG5KGzfa2J

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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9tIYYx1Hn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftYQFizuBV
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECFBC7uTAn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5pGKTFtax
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqcwlRSin
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q7WnWEkFJ
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTV1xvk51f
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHXsYISspF
"How do I look?" he asked me.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFtlxfHLxl
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZOCHpLTPr
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGr1HsnHMs
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k0YsdD2eu
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYkWYUHol2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGTCaVHFy
"What about me?" Jimin asked.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22QThkfm7p
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbEFRpLjCU
"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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3VKEuBGhh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOVDxeCJKK
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqaSmCrEUB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZZOC6eCXT
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRERz47Um
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurQHnSQTXm
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeUzmjPFWa

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5yQ5u2F6L
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6oaWTEWmK
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHw4JntF0C
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqJcpF0x8G
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmpYOUKO66
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Js6pDImr
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKL7Ew2sSM
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgobOFZs5q
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lLIyEc3UL
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpdkDACkWv
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZl3soXi4T
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbyYE2InU8
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4vauzxDsL
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbRS4MG4Yl
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvdBH4nYWv
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SIzaTa0AY
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXURDJtxLmr
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uRwOFQWic
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c4kMb39za
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGq4QZJJ5S
"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."55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAHrPpqaSs
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUtuCZ4bG
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQJSAnE7Tt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8uwOeWJS1
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEK3zeBTqf
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLC43Jwn4U
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpasnQFvpgc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Oe7EaBFHG
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.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nljMPUC0W
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxfUUeYg3B
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMs4RQRTSP
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscpuUduWnp
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
