​​​​​​​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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF3skcAtaw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdnKMchmAE
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eKCXYQO7V
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nuJoOCFQ
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Kjpo0hy2
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EBR4D4GHF
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8vbTdqzYz
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0L8JyLHIr
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKRcVSyo1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6hMuyNwOx
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpI0sMvTK
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8PywK2ZLA
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJsQHNHL3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEoCxDesjE
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHyNYfjPR1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31KVUEyJO
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxXkq343Dr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sXx2Wy73D
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMELFRLreR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjgY0ENUnY
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyooSN9a8BF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYnd5L0ZZ7
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kL42CL8zl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T26fZFqnk
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LazT4bkcT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwCH9mK02j
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mIFPT2n0x
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlmI98n9bw
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71yTKLbZbr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLzq7LReYI
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71VC8VQjH3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvxcQ3hkUC
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAyMCXRSAh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGtlQ01Li
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY2vB8LBZU
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyXcmoWUt1
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPdqDIIdGt
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVbaZjfxy5
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHaj1g6vGy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYc8l3wx6C
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BKerMlBSq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8NDGTyrw7
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIbRCQfsr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMeE47B4fr
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjiswwKr5
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDWZaFOZ0
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhUBWuILIA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc05dwPF44
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDlaPtMgZF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfBbG3xQqQ
"No, tell me. What's going on?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJihpWnmjD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjqEobZ0dg
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuf51J2YWM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ExDrEoSV
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaXzrwgMjM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5cPzrYfe3
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5DGgIAcoo
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkWhE1tWGu
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVja9xGvxW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamlxUsrbZh
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yuzTdy2Zs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPHiKnhHKf
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXGd638qEA
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExl657tJj
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq0Hsma0lv
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhIQdsKW8p
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe0q9rH1A4
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaUF4BM1fQ
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONkgArF3Pb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvroTk9hI3
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwa88PdicC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0FfTQ87X6
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOwOXj6nNF
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAQRjGXkOx
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggl0qJR0r1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnDf1gVlZ9
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6LnyD3glc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbPPpjjwtl
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNVpPD1YqM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcws9YB3G6
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9AL88340I
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JqCnLpzDw
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RfbqpJcyQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIjndyiI7l
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobXZP9pF3K
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwgFCRCm0
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP5UPPklsm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3OVii6mSe
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAtfolh3W
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxUNYa12eG
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnorJ4vd4k
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbGWzJ14Op
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1s6lTIqr1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKao0P8kkv
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccODjrEll
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPVwBcWlYd
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlwZuQkaQh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIveLVviGN
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaYJ8GcN0M
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW6nzCqGC0
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ss6PwTyzq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyeUVN8K4U
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsW7ycCcPM
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpMlJ1XtlH
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClW8sddSQS
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJcjMCIEPP
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn1nrE9uQ3
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsSRD9WaIE
"We lie as usual," I answered.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk4r7fk2pq
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAfW7OpmPc
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrsPkoP0Ux
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIkNrxZ8xo
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS6870qW4F
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVif8Om2ItW
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NvuLyrPQG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbgMTZpzO3
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZVf9qBuNx
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjRAXInqH
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLo19Whp54
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKs7v8mBGe
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjPZe97xBs
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGkd1jNdeO
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D17lThS4F
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLxhtElVNn
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabC6uOq0Ji
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmveIpKwwwg
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEoExlkeEI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOCs2MErNP
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oAfXBnFuP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mgPX1yGG
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqt4VYh9Qu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDxY3xVPBf
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqs3ks1QeG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTabCgDlV
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaJ7l8z4RG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38oIGGvP5T
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukS0KBQUTf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lAvSBZHwy
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCXoAxo5wZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewm1gmHQCB
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufBzYoxrWR
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RI5TqW1YM
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJpmVsGKok
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzGEO1ZwJX
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMM2IabAPX
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZziE7NgIL
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoaEA20NUI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLBYUKpfth
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWe8AbCj7i
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYd8GTvpx
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp552eWF3Qc
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKoN6OIH1
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5HU41FdtB
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBlUzY1mB
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTjy88Mf08
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVmDc9jZk
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bejY92gw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzhDjixbrd
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAULVz53U1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZELyoCnVAd
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ioORVT3zI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqxbV8mzzG
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDRtXJEmRl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuFSl6hWT1
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNys96xFDmZ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoZuiBjrel
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zso51mqKQ
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JJMM2sr2u
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Orb01l7u
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYRxd4NInR
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTcGH8sFP
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS6qDuyY9w
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO9PDgI7Ml
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXqd692Zls
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3h6RChYj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVfKskl9vK
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SHWy0yYIL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThrXeycM7O
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVKIsRslfb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1xbBoH8a5
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0rZPi3Azh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AkJyo4NYu
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWlx5fcWOg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxRBCa6oIh
"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?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJHCZjKcm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47UUwoLhSF
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7RNKzmBb
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa1Ushlg69
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOiC7eELvd
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17PU2ptnTQ
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRJ5InHh1
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwKjAu5Gy
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWevX1ZYIr
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduXvimoOua
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBAANRVoOC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHC6CyXRWM
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwVGA1c2Bw
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaCjwKICiO
"I agree," said Christine.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY6Hch9vMa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkNDEZxexS
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWBjWWFQgW
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0uQFzxD0P
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmXSpcBVNE
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3wljsaVlY
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHs8RG5Fi
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHorqAbsD0U
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfOvRJCgtu
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXMZ7L1VOB
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZS6jdtyMg
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdCOdRzji4
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYYTIKmkX8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4b1c7Ffnq
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPqFRtW2eI

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjT0MOiAse
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxyhUY7ND
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Qc23Gzbm
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1gk8Z2iKu
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuRnAm3ck
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ936UqJ40yY
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3HHIgJO9e
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9kjJBln5
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpV3BjyM3o
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXojCZFn7xn
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb0ExKYzsb

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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaorb0fdpTe

"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgck8VFJoeI
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XF5MNqXj3
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpII7MxdpL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHwOR1Fr9e
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6fsT4314k

"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISW1P7npkz

"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0UuebrOMc

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWwY95l6nj
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcRcjj9lhk
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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTux7ibE203
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDfhxklfly
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyYCKnHpe1

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZWbOyMkCK

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OyPyGbdAL
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZbBkS7roY
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoeBZp5UgD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNRoCso2VO
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlfpzxKzJa
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHLWo1VAL9
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVJPJmvwH6
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRVngkNfnm
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBurgyHor7T

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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZaeKNkeH7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKivQJIaRkr
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlR3pFsghl
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgAgGFzLUG
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdfI4pRYp7
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35SxXAZ38f
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTyLWGaA8X
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGYVoCHIKN
"How do I look?" he asked me.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Z0og6fKl

"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnxxggAKlt

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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUB6YNhk0w
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytoFr9rAc4
"What about me?" Jimin asked.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDwEVqADoy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw38JP08V3
"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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIqkqfvKsy
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWuS8bpHum
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQpteFRKej
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEzHs8ow2
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxZekoRwDX

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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OrIzTkefs

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdbcWEW1wf

"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C1h4WcdtC
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBrajW8BpE
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcn49sQK4

"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdfXcrghG
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbcgad5IWM
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXOZIgRvpT
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99fNHqevUp
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEzvUD2HI8
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrknrQW70v
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y0jauPeZD
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exfVdJPmZ
"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."361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVRA9Rrvrf
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOFrNKvEBA

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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZXit7Xpu

"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkKrYy4ATh
361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5J1ZfWLk
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.361Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnxjScOvxx
