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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAo8WaziEMd9
180Please respect copyright.PENANAiJK6uARO1p
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.180Please respect copyright.PENANADxEumNwgKZ
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjQQemCK3HW
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANA5AArS4S2Ec
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzQSNF3e8VZ
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."180Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0oWmc8yJN
180Please respect copyright.PENANA107FPhPkgC
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAjIPhAQmjk8
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPibtgQCria
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."180Please respect copyright.PENANAhMLdaQPogf
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPksvqljZgQ
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAih2DWgpKPv
180Please respect copyright.PENANA30NoHJdMX8
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.180Please respect copyright.PENANAokevET8t5E
180Please respect copyright.PENANAF7kuFdOA9i
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?180Please respect copyright.PENANAGehQG1t4Yj
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJoCDAm6ybE
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.180Please respect copyright.PENANAiqbxuq1vj0
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjxrA2gAA0P
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."180Please respect copyright.PENANAa7XchBudQI
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYGkLwMOtgI
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAyRUgHhrdZU
180Please respect copyright.PENANAnJNFpz7DX8
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANARA4GBgjMVb
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYOihJt7HK9
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.180Please respect copyright.PENANA4ompqQTfOJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdWd86s0h8q
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAYy2oggBaqP
180Please respect copyright.PENANAOb9RvLMC4z
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."180Please respect copyright.PENANAOQvpBUQIY5
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqMmYN60Nwk
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAzYHtD0fThu
180Please respect copyright.PENANAJQTyoKEZxu
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."180Please respect copyright.PENANAoBt3GHuDIr
180Please respect copyright.PENANAhFkI9unJ8L
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"180Please respect copyright.PENANARAajHbZgP6
180Please respect copyright.PENANAIgQcDzyLSO
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAtkH3UarO42
180Please respect copyright.PENANAIsbTDJG1B4
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."180Please respect copyright.PENANAWayJfUQJYq
180Please respect copyright.PENANA0f4MLd3mhH
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."180Please respect copyright.PENANADqCUeDDASu
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsIXDvidqXe
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."180Please respect copyright.PENANAnH0XyyplX5
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqJxXBg90s8
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Zm6g1E9d
180Please respect copyright.PENANABqlNFQcI5A
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."180Please respect copyright.PENANAI2HwnBmCbf
180Please respect copyright.PENANAKSeFUcEvYk
"No, tell me. What's going on?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAuBDYEDxbuV
180Please respect copyright.PENANApsvvmOlfCo
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAB60ORCzLaj
180Please respect copyright.PENANADiHGFvFQ6H
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAFB539JMPxR
180Please respect copyright.PENANApbm0Tnhybx
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAKoOiWcZY1A
180Please respect copyright.PENANAw3gnOMwDKS
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAniwC1VRzC9
180Please respect copyright.PENANAxImmX8o9vk
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.180Please respect copyright.PENANAzEoN9xVdPh
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWMknkzVvLt
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANACb8ze7wB5d
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVCx5eBUoPb
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."180Please respect copyright.PENANA3WfuCKByrR
180Please respect copyright.PENANASGRDU4PyHB
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."180Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gy9WbMXN5
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYKdQJD3ZYE
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.180Please respect copyright.PENANAb8IxysA00E
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqJgeVPgTgt
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.180Please respect copyright.PENANAgGyumJYgwo
180Please respect copyright.PENANAirClg6maZL
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."180Please respect copyright.PENANAdYb2JbXMet
180Please respect copyright.PENANATG2rUeBtTu
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.180Please respect copyright.PENANAQ91o99dXnu
180Please respect copyright.PENANATYzZtbGLy9
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA5cDOyXSqQc
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4niGpWmyfO
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."180Please respect copyright.PENANAQjsfP90V0g
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgW2kKWaR8m
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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA2aUMObIWnI
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsrxKRfIyCd
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."180Please respect copyright.PENANAygAWCeCN8Q
180Please respect copyright.PENANABUkrNxUHq8
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAFoN8IinusV
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuaOWnvOSFl
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."180Please respect copyright.PENANA9nnXKL7lPf
180Please respect copyright.PENANAuINsvte8OS
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.180Please respect copyright.PENANA8l0efeC1DM
180Please respect copyright.PENANAb6HrKAtXjx
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAycgKxaD70o
180Please respect copyright.PENANAXlpnK5ZeDk
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANABrhVmAhmMo
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwGnjbwvBev
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA2z2852bfqs
180Please respect copyright.PENANAfWBVbs8eJe
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.180Please respect copyright.PENANAMh3VoDcwTb
180Please respect copyright.PENANAPF4PmaGgpK
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.180Please respect copyright.PENANAE8PmsSgHLg
180Please respect copyright.PENANApUi7yZ6sbh
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAO7rEtwcOG8
180Please respect copyright.PENANACDA1bO72kw
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAOMWpa4dOzI
180Please respect copyright.PENANAmCR02RVHXA
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAM6Hn3JWAa3
180Please respect copyright.PENANA1cOLC871D6
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.180Please respect copyright.PENANAFZGbhggar8
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyM7saSMZXU
"We lie as usual," I answered.180Please respect copyright.PENANAYSfwdO4dOZ
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZer6bYZLBN
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."180Please respect copyright.PENANAruv5AnryCG
180Please respect copyright.PENANAchKbJY5g92
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.180Please respect copyright.PENANAb4KPCmiXcW
180Please respect copyright.PENANAkRvgXD36DK
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA5s4vtLyR1P
180Please respect copyright.PENANAkTfB8VdYv3
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.180Please respect copyright.PENANAK7fEjfCRPG
180Please respect copyright.PENANADdXQPZOBDP
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.180Please respect copyright.PENANAZiXJYJJZw6
180Please respect copyright.PENANASbZ0g7Ewz8
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."180Please respect copyright.PENANAH4R8lo7HCs
180Please respect copyright.PENANA34Uw6ykTZL
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.180Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9HB4wpxTU
180Please respect copyright.PENANAtgCd6w4Q2E
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ0qNssIxv
180Please respect copyright.PENANAxpdehvyzpw
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAzNrNmAEShU
180Please respect copyright.PENANArEMw4ai46z
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA1PUqhX4Vvp
180Please respect copyright.PENANArJAFBgFewv
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANA4jeIrrLVHq
180Please respect copyright.PENANApXaxaxO2ba
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANALgMhantKdH
180Please respect copyright.PENANAv1nagN3GsK
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."180Please respect copyright.PENANA37IFzh2uPb
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlM46sAGpKU
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"180Please respect copyright.PENANA8owaDLF6qk
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvpdaxVmUti
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."180Please respect copyright.PENANASG0cR71UEJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANABEqicgoKl8
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANATiaVE9Rcg4
180Please respect copyright.PENANAhbMNFXxBTy
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.180Please respect copyright.PENANAmT60TMyqNG
180Please respect copyright.PENANAy21Qrsjvht
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANALQF9xoGnyC
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvrc6w8zHbo
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAenhcuPpPK7
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcnEitEsowK
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAe5XmJspCq0
180Please respect copyright.PENANA9ipcoLFDJl
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."180Please respect copyright.PENANA7G9B18ZZ7g
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcgdnyLJa
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."180Please respect copyright.PENANA6n0EOeEa3C
180Please respect copyright.PENANABYGKaqeecP
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.180Please respect copyright.PENANAZV9O9yN19B
180Please respect copyright.PENANAdMVViuLNlf
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANACDdX3WnDOo
180Please respect copyright.PENANA9cDXt9FiTT
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."180Please respect copyright.PENANA5f3CE5kYgh
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZCFyTjgVC
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."180Please respect copyright.PENANAoXqSbeVkhp
180Please respect copyright.PENANAYiRes9cBuB
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAoajpAoFuaO
180Please respect copyright.PENANALru1GfKrHH
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."180Please respect copyright.PENANACegQH3c4lO
180Please respect copyright.PENANAp57ZtfCx3T
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.180Please respect copyright.PENANAcqCjkjHYYG
180Please respect copyright.PENANAsgnFCvrrKf
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.180Please respect copyright.PENANAqKfnGjKdeh
180Please respect copyright.PENANAMplw4HZCG0
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA31UYxHcRlG
180Please respect copyright.PENANApiCAdOBIFN
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."180Please respect copyright.PENANA9p9aEWExMA
180Please respect copyright.PENANAGDq9O2cB57
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAQZzDeQkg7D
180Please respect copyright.PENANAba6Jswqtsz
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.180Please respect copyright.PENANAeRVKEFAjFt
180Please respect copyright.PENANASlpJnANeJ3
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.180Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xu68SEdqv
180Please respect copyright.PENANADia51iZeXV
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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA2H6lVQZ3rb
180Please respect copyright.PENANAlzHGy5tzsV
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANARZ1xkwLylQ
180Please respect copyright.PENANA6QOMCeceYU
"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?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAeXgyKbbGWl
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2QsLxnOn9t
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.180Please respect copyright.PENANAdIvYLx4NAH
180Please respect copyright.PENANACKMjr29hwY
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.180Please respect copyright.PENANACMgsTyWC4Y
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWydXkkqE7P
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAEKyWR8Z1Yr
180Please respect copyright.PENANA61XAWs8eid
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAAvzednqb3T
180Please respect copyright.PENANAqV3Ne4lc2m
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.180Please respect copyright.PENANAr6VGltVlex
180Please respect copyright.PENANASj5PTYnGYy
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.180Please respect copyright.PENANAXCk76dPXXW
180Please respect copyright.PENANA9JRI13lPiB
"I agree," said Christine.180Please respect copyright.PENANA3U9d40M0jU
180Please respect copyright.PENANA1f2iDSLm0A
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."180Please respect copyright.PENANA5aTvacBrvh
180Please respect copyright.PENANARqvA5xpsz0
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."180Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ0wZCJYES
180Please respect copyright.PENANAvOEjYnQx6e
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."180Please respect copyright.PENANAjANtRGZ478
180Please respect copyright.PENANARZvLrCiu9T
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."180Please respect copyright.PENANAB3wSauCFVm
180Please respect copyright.PENANAceuURIG77z
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."180Please respect copyright.PENANAhGGUJ3vdy3
180Please respect copyright.PENANAB8dRkgKYxv
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."180Please respect copyright.PENANAFcuSl6rDny
180Please respect copyright.PENANABbD8CWUty2
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAfyI8kfuVHJ

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.180Please respect copyright.PENANA3oTUpto6ks
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWuDdg17ViJ
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAxysE5hukWy
180Please respect copyright.PENANAxv2RYddTfC
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.180Please respect copyright.PENANAmm7yAooAPI
180Please respect copyright.PENANAI54CKI8gfZ
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAyWN0xkJZ0J
180Please respect copyright.PENANANPW5cx1FZ2
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANARJYALiEhUz
180Please respect copyright.PENANAzlwlkgBKgr
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.180Please respect copyright.PENANA43EupXwvkm
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4mIPoDHBYy
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.180Please respect copyright.PENANAD9UpmAnZAg
180Please respect copyright.PENANAA6NmhkL1Wm
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAlClhdwFVqa
180Please respect copyright.PENANAWzP2U0GOqx
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAL4OSJuzG7U
180Please respect copyright.PENANAx2uT8vGyYE
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANABQbhlw9PTG
180Please respect copyright.PENANAmDtOylDhfx
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAPc5bSEo4vN

"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANA5cW8DR0zL5

"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANANb1LnIjAwP
180Please respect copyright.PENANA12C1qyQMuH
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"180Please respect copyright.PENANAkSxPpl2afJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANARdwWeMMHyV
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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAIRSp8EwpJ9
180Please respect copyright.PENANAoOO2wyfFw5
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."180Please respect copyright.PENANAxultdmAWYi

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."180Please respect copyright.PENANAxhW9xqwLzu

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."180Please respect copyright.PENANAqlC0cEmVHs

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."180Please respect copyright.PENANASPUCKCtaNJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANAgLIrcoRUHP
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.180Please respect copyright.PENANA5dSNipKqi6
180Please respect copyright.PENANAAA5KmhPdx1
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."180Please respect copyright.PENANA1BDj33mFef
180Please respect copyright.PENANACE8knXMpv8
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAedLu7uNCbx
180Please respect copyright.PENANAwSfelfVD0F
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.180Please respect copyright.PENANACBlOh14Y6A
180Please respect copyright.PENANAx3YAVb7NHR
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."180Please respect copyright.PENANAdDjLC4VUlb
180Please respect copyright.PENANABQ3BjqLqoY
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAkH9OFRMfo9

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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAc995DWHYVN
180Please respect copyright.PENANAeKXjr53Kw4
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.180Please respect copyright.PENANAnbbiZ3td1P
180Please respect copyright.PENANAQrw9JCX9B5
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."180Please respect copyright.PENANAzfp9g9iKqg
180Please respect copyright.PENANANyfk3tFgKJ
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAGdogklUsqb
180Please respect copyright.PENANAOKgliLvgy2
"How do I look?" he asked me.180Please respect copyright.PENANA1iBnsTd5sA
180Please respect copyright.PENANArUsCjObF4H
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."180Please respect copyright.PENANAIsl5ZGlygR
180Please respect copyright.PENANAtBvDk4OmSx
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAAi5FLUFrjC
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjn2qq5L8rw
"What about me?" Jimin asked.180Please respect copyright.PENANAESa974wKZz
180Please respect copyright.PENANA5wQpxI6ZaF
"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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAFTFkGHULzg
180Please respect copyright.PENANANZ4G199h0U
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAfUC1FXGBaJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANAVB1w8aeO9Z
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."180Please respect copyright.PENANA5cGDfyCtP0
180Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Ikryu5ne
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAJkfwwOqpFt

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."180Please respect copyright.PENANAk6WJn095Of
180Please respect copyright.PENANA4fLlPv02n8
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"180Please respect copyright.PENANALbUOauHjlv
180Please respect copyright.PENANAb4gP556nvi
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed180Please respect copyright.PENANAXSaPujVpDy
180Please respect copyright.PENANAeaPiUBEuKH
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANATZWKhHacpD
180Please respect copyright.PENANAMdJfuw4zqg
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.180Please respect copyright.PENANA4gXs1e8erJ
180Please respect copyright.PENANA8qOKT3LPqY
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.180Please respect copyright.PENANAzqXY39mL47
180Please respect copyright.PENANAj57jX4T7fs
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA7UeeA4VqgQ
180Please respect copyright.PENANARYcy9zIMOU
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZCIF1QdrC
180Please respect copyright.PENANATgIQettTEJ
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANAyr1wDPws5I
180Please respect copyright.PENANAjM2bqMgya2
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.180Please respect copyright.PENANAjnlQd5rBMT
180Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rf1morwSX
"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."180Please respect copyright.PENANA0FRsGD9sfr
180Please respect copyright.PENANABd3QadQXr3
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.180Please respect copyright.PENANAdAk45jNWIr
180Please respect copyright.PENANAcQqNcGtNA4
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAmM5rlXdInM
180Please respect copyright.PENANAZhZSP1TewE
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.180Please respect copyright.PENANAYhSIraCLqz
180Please respect copyright.PENANATdCjgW6cgV
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.180Please respect copyright.PENANAqFbkMNuf3q
180Please respect copyright.PENANAyx2zUctxg6
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.180Please respect copyright.PENANA2TzpWH0mbe

We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
