​​​​​​​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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1AXuBb9J
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi3wMqyEp4
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3n5BGymLS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIroGMaZG7a
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4O6SAKYtX
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaztHPRYhep
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq4Pe52SrS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxlTKPFedv
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMjsjitMXe
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBnvepjWl
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXJnyuhVpG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTah5YnGGSG
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HY5p9i9xY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf9VRzTKYe
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUAK1Lm6ld
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DntzRwGCL
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6H9CUzxk0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyntxgHHFJ
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfpsfenIjc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY9blIT3px
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAhFjnKOfm
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI82a61RJUf
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8vUjlmpcF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFnvvpCRea
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjchNttMjk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcFsCdLFGb
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWIWETLLZF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOL3ZuBgFb
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpmr6iVhIH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFk8qb7Htp
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h6b6QPnOg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcgzpMfjj0
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8IgNwa2ag
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdiHrBNdr2
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTchXjNHPkM
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XUeXvwKbn
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcxzUsLWoP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoeyL62MfB
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSFlQSqDIS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpkEm80LJ8
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGkCvqezH5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEsvKJ7Zvb
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATLZBhuNi8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJPKbBGjMs
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocOucZjnVi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdkDcszXSC
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75zGQn8XVy
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbNvjtXeeZ
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx74hMjQfqs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MSvvczmy5
"No, tell me. What's going on?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sa7eXIVtZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEEuFQBjY5
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXnFJNyqEH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9OA7NZYn
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu5ipH2iXz
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn0911tjzn
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHA42myb1a
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUrUAn0lx
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN6iA0I8ra
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaojJhaLe
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nGh6J5SwK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitsuXGa7Y
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgQSoSrKZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3yGrLQDoi
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ05LbyfuK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxruP2Ipko
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpD69e6tPW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PeOACEgQQ
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiqN4IGoHa
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePsaZ8JKW6
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz7ynBcwrP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4HtP2HO77
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE35tke6yJE
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5oXY4Ipf7
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBSBgdHHkE
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO9uEIhEO5
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKk8dVP7HP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Fjl7CvD3
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWtaAuAR0y
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KpHoMTpfG
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ5mCIHsgx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N67Rq2bnb
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh1iMWFUCZ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIJzDDtPE
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrr0wVDBky
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NI8SDAIEL
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks3WxInUmS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbNYLnuXXH
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Xt1kp9dA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQxhF0kRtZ
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnYR0JJZWl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHxEmpk4W
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70aVylAV7o
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTu4wDdUyE
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bzjnQtkl3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5y5VqDcp
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvhDxVNaF3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoE62fttCg
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIPNCkcOVl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPRBqlPGDW
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vKtEH9Vq3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFL9RgIQrZ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4w2WNBBUU
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7ackN58K
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhxTX3IGr6
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DJDVnBzNY
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNh5YmWSiO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbldK6eZZPf
"We lie as usual," I answered.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaGyhYiZnf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN5QgbQDSx
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrCqo9XqSs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3GMewfQIh
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xjo2gxVjq
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD1bvpemFo
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TG5aoUIX0
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NraiL4rsr
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdXAQMgECx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuFYbnCYaZ
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxKLf23xUI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjiQcNm4kc
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9KhvZTpG8
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbpJH5NM0H
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUAWr0hqvo
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiGLcw4lZ5
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiW3BYNRi3
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfHBMk0KXZ
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt5g1m82dR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G82nP3yxi
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYAyWLOuKx
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHWgxKGQ9w
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2jDV9E5dG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC4LUE5nZk
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnoeo8fwtb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWlZSWyyDr
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicUY1KShMW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEhownkIV0
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkA4Di4TIr
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwT48HlJIy
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqINr9CD1M1
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY6vcBpRyj
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3hgNddMkH
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60EMEMXuDY
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSBToVMGNr
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxZ5tMY8wJ
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIAoKoS9HG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07b0SqrPRK
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO8j7uF06k
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJx5GNcxcT
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIcVbYxrB4
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsEk4B1vGw
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGVSjwoe9e
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbHh95fzHF
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbppq7bY9kv
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv692UHP4J
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0GhcMmeZK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMevnBGprIs
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVEOKXCSf
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJ1DICxTT
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xircex28K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWxe1ndhkw
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPq2QpqJfc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mD4MRdq19
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wCP1Z53Kc
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoTVJaVnpb
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zFNOKJb4s
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILotMVjNg
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpBJ9M1zu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Db3FEs1AC
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLosDjzkDTg
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5donpGLFMp
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoElKQqppDI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTbiahW1y
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ODniddqZ5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5FrcCQSmB
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRAE0EPNl
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUkczDD660
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHveCbIIVk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH7jiAtrEz
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieEHbiDlBW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjTlgPYACn
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1IFG11EHV
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWKH4r9Hp6
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EzP3z3icJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfezOsOpRQd
"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?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyCMWnk3DP
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDy7fOD5kx
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gMnrzsAfY
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMvNqH3jRy
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeCwiiqCOA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQhpspp2QT
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVI0b0k8AW
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt85HRcYCR
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13CYGsXGR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ8yCE9eXw
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQzBIFgHT2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvmr12MGj0
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzcJ7lJc6K
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDG4xdJw5
"I agree," said Christine.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTqb6duPkr
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQGDLeIuyz
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwK1CHAglQ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuY15A6qmM
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttQUN9sTvK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIi02TdQvY
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQDoyIlxiO
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5r5iDg94W
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcrk0MFMgd
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJJj2PE0SS
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9wokw32CU
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQ1BUNUVA
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEKJ9nGDQi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9THYmcb7c
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNQykvCKkw

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHQlAwo5j5
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznKzvDimPh
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALGPW4RxAt

435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBfy1Xxja
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJzHLR3mPF
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOujhzmlbhf
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfJUC5JPOk
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mILVlwZ93

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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZjP4zE4f

"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JM6Xbmr92
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OUBAMQJs4
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSnxxFkurK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TJH4ANCx9
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUS54bMpsq

"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lnH2Cbanh

"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72s9tz546x

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94WwEfZvXu
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tiqOQYqP
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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpVF4fqjkT
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVDMXKqFcJ
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vWTFi2nIC

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJC4qxLEsp

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wiogDbG3y
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlua5bySQbU
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW09tryLdn
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLygkKEWGQL
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMLHGv6Yv3

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQexjAT2Kh
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2kjDtuL4N
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bbP9xvXAH

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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQJmXrgDL9
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eUun9ui0h
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp1D3v1DQi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zTLROZRfD
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnMHna5XSS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6jpl69JC
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTa1ufJk9F
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl6HXXBl7d
"How do I look?" he asked me.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nTx0VEQ4I
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c9wF8E5TB
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGlr8grHC
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1X5IzdyI0
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag0lrP3FVi
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjDjk588q9
"What about me?" Jimin asked.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaFupIZT35
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPuixZOrEi
"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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N7obSAEas
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwjMS7JvJh
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNHPvZhFV2
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIvDXpRQ0
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W16LCCzZi

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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbUmWzqtq1

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEZ1J6TluS
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSky6UDcn5H
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblfj1bUdrb
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Nti61k5t
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUU07CyqLI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJYalO6qWo
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZh1ppIfK
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9naeqBDuu
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZJLT7gCc

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XYBcX11ym
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7bF2tDK1H
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNrKbX4CPR
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRiKfvDhQ
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcGGeGiPOG
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1oMdH6sB
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYCxvssgA
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOi2NlsJS
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxY7EwC8UI
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9QkbFhcBf
"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."435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6gRhL0JrJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298kG8JndW
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWmI5IZqf5

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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJQMa4AoJ
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA073xu8kzh
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wr8FwtyZs
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCVJ1FGs8u
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.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnqKj2iZXV

I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6SNkWfkco
