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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIU8rPpTnb
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmM7aq2n8h
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcaADOEfh0
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAXEUZRO8S
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK0AX327Kp
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aqprPgz72
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWj01X3XGC
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGbejwlgbm
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6hrLqhvrz
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIqaIdekXO
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqWQbn3GGT
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMmXbSgjRU
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20tI03YDj8
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrHzCxlbXV
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO7tIawg6x
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i40eHO613
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiPDwNwR8F
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q4NZG32Wx
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FOos1wv8u
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw1OSqr1P7
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIFd3zZwEa
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTXwn7Bfy3
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IG8TXARk0
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdEcH6EN93
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTcYEeaEqW
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXyM6iNd1H
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMNgtynibI
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaie7zMFVEu
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGFY0aC2yz
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo41y26Ps7
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB5WeL2Un2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwacH21HUdd
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kZPom0fl0
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEpmr1wZS4
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtzZvbn0As
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2lH3mNMk
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdBHLT5Aub
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2KXjMRhUH
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MKhAdXTjG
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAVYFbMIy7
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEAS4FxEiu
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUmTMB12pd
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS2INCfgp8
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMzkoDD57K
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0r5kTpxnI
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06G8lJehLQ
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSrJB7lLQZ
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wt8v78hmL
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvGAYCIRW1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCxoARKouV
"No, tell me. What's going on?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRZzNXl4BF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcXzkNIEpB
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINRtIf1xza
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUM051Avze
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wjA8expII
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6TFSIYOwb
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5UpZc8Nhe
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTaNATj5c8
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpFZG3TOBc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6G6rf3VvG
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7mFilB03O
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwVUEeA81o
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5cZlHT4Rz
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PaJ4MdtWC
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUQUitGv6i
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsmWq4XJ7y
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMizc4SB0qS
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg04hefZ1g
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lMG0HGgp2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCdGZ6DBfL
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpooOZlecH
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvJxxeI36x
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0XXBdFTrK
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0znah4lv2D
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiMkoFWTqo
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqxvAkg8tx
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nYuHxARLD
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmD30jVvbv
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyErrK4MMW
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWiWcPBFwq
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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXRTDQaSFW
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5seVrPYtT
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyNgYHM0IX
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdRLLJfQ5N
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0pa4WhV4O
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RzAOlycVq
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpbdEyBCvy
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSx0jRitgi
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwfozcpf9p
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwL7N8Jqs
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrio4GLzY9i
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXKIrrMN19
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmz5Tpn4JB
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwczKnChUxP
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JJnt6xPmF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2aPtsXGS0
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCll1qjqpEX
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GwIH0zQjm
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y2lDnSd65
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgSoI7jyKj
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WjEzf0PSm
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1c9vHrwy
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnKzvelFBO
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ6KHGi533
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zax3ImGHx
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYVGo3Pfz5
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn3r5QOjqU
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbC3uRUmk5
"We lie as usual," I answered.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm2zNyBZay
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWayaVwJbbe
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHWxm34D9B
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdDDL0Bn3s
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBy0RxX4z4
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rw82dBaly
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91XctQ8x6r
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1VCE5fHIY
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtyyOcb0ig
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNGJrR0870
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0fUVSudMz
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUqhMQtox
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcYIdYY7QG
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8EMOxcvQQ
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlFxYZMFqn
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7vgX41J5
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2tFrLTcyF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7bnhQuYAS
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7llFi1Pcr
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqwPkXx62g
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeDSpglgIu
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwwtrCObJ
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCG6A8IO9
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDso8k6Jupa
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGK6JM8OAX
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPMRYmAXyq
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgZrfSQFFt
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaIEHL6AVS
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNUnP0sASD
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IDiF1wVVT
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T9iYGKdZK
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cMZsEGHuN
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNyeYiPhY2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFD1d4jm8Y
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkhHFJaqCo
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczs3ZQ5U1R
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD018csPUX7
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOUBjIgwEm
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDSSi4rae7
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uan9q2X2L
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb07GWFGwgo
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIugNpojzT
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDld0RX4vy
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMqSIngQ2u
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRsJREXek1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRl46Il8pO
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8oe8zXRlu
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc1fEvcVUo
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe0j8XHzqB
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn16LVY0HzT
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOSO0fF8J8
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRxgBZj1yK
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQPzwDAeL1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQT0gsZePu
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKKI8KS6em
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksjz136D3Z
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH9Y0cQh4U
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoqjaGusZx
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnYihtmYRe
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglXw38L1VS
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsTqd3fiBk
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGXUcRjpmk
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4q3Se07wM
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS0KlpSNaX
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYdFoGM8gx
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXF0xQ2nZm
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6tplwTR9r
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51HLkTmJTL
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH04Gx1gwSE
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZJqzTyN2
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQyae2mEPJ
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXo25oI8XP
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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgvrGDrbYc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44iuN2qwlE
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdx7vdEWZ9
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxERljEert
"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?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5S5C8lPF9
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA7OBTaegL
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3kZZMZNJm
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX3NyNlzsz
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0prVcTGYX9
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE7C6aBGNM
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28qbsTHcc
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10LObLXpgc
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhDmbX9MAU
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFF2WGz7O
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqn6A7oAVD
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEZ6DTqXG6
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvybfOJCchQ

"I agree," said Christine.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5oSy1No2U

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1RRL2HGml
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0GkdvArrA
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45s2nJPaw
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOCWqK2E04

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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAC4AoqVaB

383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm6yQckg5u
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX7vFiRhep

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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzykXKdd0m

"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7xMTUGB7o
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHlbu32sqB
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWVm7zY58
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxYGEh0pCT
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgwPZ3Y5VY

"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqWrHB9G7r
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqbsgkFPx5
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7moCnWguTJ
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2361SNnoc
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMphLZ7fxN
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXlQToNuB
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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPlUTd4gqI
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22ZdkEI78F
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf3k29XWDq

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82jMvS711

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqLmZSFiC
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpe28d3Ht2
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY8TxNxW9Q

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8tplscqt3
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu5m5077fB
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26UKKnAcXE
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXBOf8AiWE
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvGW0p0Ssq
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE6kbXr0PW
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYHIlwX1pr
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlcjXapsyF
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLOLug5gCL

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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxQ73whN9
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJopp4F6uyG
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWyLm2hw8e
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVKTmgxQ7
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm41bUNd3Y
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cYhefNlCs
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHDSBqsq57
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFwGehNomr
"How do I look?" he asked me.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2azab5RX0g
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU5zmykdOR
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIoBCuBMsd
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxoSqHaWMO
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7W2GEDQF
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSUJ5HX70E
"What about me?" Jimin asked.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgUl5ftTyH
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4DHis28p3
"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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWj7K3BblH
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHulksOToUc
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkJGnerp5P
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLUrT4nKfX
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw0hiQbLO8

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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrizQ2b3dz

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirhcmT7FEx
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0MfRaPK60
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSMy0WcEs
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ztDNOuzeL
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa3LVAOPdO
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLkW1ROOZ1
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVHkXCITii
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3C4s4zr7
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGTGDEt8Y
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9alGwvpm4q
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ4pWmapG1
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ncMtUap4k
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLjKmjPl8X
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTaxdZDmV9
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jnYuBA06T
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgPTUSWvU3
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn9Vmw9tDv
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetJEuFFAXF
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U9Q2RvXg2
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0OXyrny0H
"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."383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMWBeBxt97
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTMVH3z2uV
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM11NoS3ah
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1oeqFHkjY
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW8RwiueFR
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUNH0rUmTu
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdezvUCOYwr
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmAAYft4PJ
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.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQhQk06ZMd
383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J5D3j1OFZ
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.383Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEYpLSx5U9

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