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
361Please respect copyright.PENANAtoqhCfwdCQ
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.361Please respect copyright.PENANAPf6JD2mZAi
361Please respect copyright.PENANAqF1ZPTNZz5
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
361Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZLZpoH3HQ
"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
361Please respect copyright.PENANAqnYOz0Ahe4
"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

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."361Please respect copyright.PENANAJwxP7j3nXs

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."361Please respect copyright.PENANAGHFas046RK
361Please respect copyright.PENANAvzK9MQc0SL
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."361Please respect copyright.PENANASSUhQNL84z
361Please respect copyright.PENANAEMBuv7Ofa1
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.361Please respect copyright.PENANAXZWbOyMkCK
361Please respect copyright.PENANACRm5973ToV
"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
361Please respect copyright.PENANAeppnqlhfyl
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."361Please respect copyright.PENANAXnxxggAKlt
361Please respect copyright.PENANAV568mTEzks
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
361Please respect copyright.PENANAy794hJOBqE
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

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."361Please respect copyright.PENANADjKVdcA4u0
361Please respect copyright.PENANA9UDsWlr1np
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"361Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbcWEW1wf
361Please respect copyright.PENANAbOy7bdXawb
"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
361Please respect copyright.PENANAXUkfXFNNew
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.361Please respect copyright.PENANAr24HQCKdxy
361Please respect copyright.PENANA6vsP8O93Wm
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.361Please respect copyright.PENANAUnkO2CfuZo
361Please respect copyright.PENANAoF1YbDBufw
"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
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.361Please respect copyright.PENANA6fJYjnoHAT
361Please respect copyright.PENANACZqD1QgHJc
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
361Please respect copyright.PENANASaEouhkdKn
"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
361Please respect copyright.PENANA5WMW3S879x
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.361Please respect copyright.PENANAFvgqMw32KU
361Please respect copyright.PENANArIKp2CHTD6
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
