​​​​​​​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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3pWnZJxNd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleM62BZbiw
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnxVPllHM0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCikAYGb7yY
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO0AjKfgnn
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzIAkIWkoi
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFk29bn26g
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vM71JLkhi
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLSHjM4tIy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzmkPckpvq
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyLBfTSJf
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uTZJThhCR
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7f8v2clvI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p7pmnM6rn
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1kQIoMUmY
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3vcNS5WYb
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIOXn7EVXV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfCw0kHZa
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5acZwbJk8a
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTRjMTCqcI
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjg8AkszJy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVqf4H1AF
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HbGiWXoy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDbt91Oupy
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBWfiCXURS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePsXDeQmB
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCcE7Rv0Ut
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavVtBiXtbu
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTxiYbam9Z
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dHIm2V8X5
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPY0sBMECt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozUJfB5aR9
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksvoNcL9He
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxqo5ImcI
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLAoC7opeg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIRvBkKWVW
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHS84TwBfb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgaBU2ZhmZ
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX0q2PkgPV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDy0F9KMQs
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DqnHUWfW2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoCu73VY1c
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wavdTLwlM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5bQ3ANUYE
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO58OGQBgl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLdCE86Ty
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLKJOfdbA9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpiZkkXluk
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsNHdeGAAt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80ogxVUmYd
"No, tell me. What's going on?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDRcWi1k1P
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2u9WwJOyN
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OUeF3lqnv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCKu1Qg4zX
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUHtYS3Iu3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ8o2EJSNz
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdE3pSYLK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Pve4Qebq
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI11Jvkzn7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkajdeorAcu
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2jptn8RJ6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdXkO8nUJs
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMmNryFJd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PslRhgdpB
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRW52ly2OD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2lD9pSudI
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ625ZgvXVcV
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHptxzJzfhU
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU8qQ7aD1g
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ckt7PZ6G
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDW6iCUTGa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLrl6TLSop
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlpAHvFIEZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Cd7g0NNn
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4cFnJkQlo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZLlySBtqe
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsURhVcFvxX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBju5dEd36h
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuUJACdizL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMudD6Bet
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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rX6Fw7z2d
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cSrcFjNd1
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRyA94czIl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEiNaDu9O
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRkG4DiIqi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZVmCKGMol
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoYqQRHZK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54LEjAtNI2
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAX3ny0gBN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYtXIj9e7R
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Oqx424fP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2FH9wHrkk
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoFSkolMQs
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP7yID5fYd
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBcjQOOgWJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTC4N0iEIa
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFHjcolp11
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D8O531Yah
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3eutwi49
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRWTr9dWKC
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3aG9yTKlw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWgUncRHmT
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UA5dP3r2l
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yqSgvC3Tx
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPPECYQquF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP6crxgAak
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVTQDGEkMv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEr0OHVrgz
"We lie as usual," I answered.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHhYAlbnSm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI9X0tMhqs
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJiLGleWPe
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4snXlgHfiy
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTiaUpZTyp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qYcPfLPIq
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4BcrkWVZr
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BakF9i7Pr
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs8lUHU0xx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomryR4kt5m
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ4mRFk4cT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2vFHfzSoH
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnrWdkgiAy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTuTFNxPrw
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm7GhVdtOP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjFPXXuvph
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdwYOwiDGg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtOrwI1CCt
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkklHObnGH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXuRz02iHp
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsERcEUCxq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAKskwqHDy
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7eHbz35U4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdL18tjNgq
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2LtaLTa4p
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv8Gdyr2KY
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT7hr84q5g
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cN3W1HRBA
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmYuOEAGHG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyQESigoLi
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF27PJiFdMP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepE5wP6us
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0yE10ZMzh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW9HGNI2b1
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDRGIkA68K
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fnLUcfl3v
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEXigddUbL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhiZxyxaQe
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaCo16Sxo0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eFjaweKFX
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcdKGy9Mf2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBHQR27MMA
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLFjSr5PdZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpVCmVAzBm
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYQvbY0Co
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunVCtwNi0L
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1tzqinZmc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGTI202tHd
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu4oWwt5zL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuTTXJKBl2
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6TCehBG8d
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOJysgcYQv
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw7EfUo21M
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSUm1pVa7T
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmv3d7l0i0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt8KDC6P96
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNzB3dIGDq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukFH24NJla
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryCIWSE5z
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2zmVZv6QU
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYineKke5c
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ougJOHU7H
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSBy0S5FbG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqZssWl1Sn
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtLju2nkwx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5WStRIAT4
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvjlVhI5tY
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvouDGeaTyL
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yYwH7RE3o
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZHtLjM4E
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM1NuIE1jg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KT8ThpL5T
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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPhjAhLXQ6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKDxV5zkfH
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NN39xEYJJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuMdtoEe75
"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?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UifxakNoD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP753pRElK0
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEnNrHedgm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2RWeEX2jb
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8055wAyJK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaimFUfUdR
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a31y5u5hJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVmcqfgSke
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12IVrxl94u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgU5Bm3vRa
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyXTHgpdtA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkoimhqsMD
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9nedvQhGm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlgzUsYZYV
"I agree," said Christine.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AN9jIkYvd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpQa7ezMZ
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSoyCK3Ccp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OmbuH45Bl
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglMASm3S88
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5I2E8FfEq
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo2ICOCgqN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPuHjG0Tr
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6oMfais2q
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3dJBf0ibA
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHK7Qf1giG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSLlITqmqg
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHspQPL9Q8e
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSDTGJo4Wa
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wORrLF3q

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU53JJ23wII
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKTsFCNGuH
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp66rEpHvM

"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXBD992X5K
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AA6bHwnRI
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVpPkX3XOx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLWwRhUxdH
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF631WUAyJA

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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SLUWz7mcA

"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXeMVosHyz
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4w3u3Y0v
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCYGYuOef0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlksmZJuA91
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCG5LJv1fv

"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7hZabDOh0

"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9SMhsJTxB
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVs1GCqm83
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s2iwoOr0g
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy1O7jcQeu
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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyplcYSYXX
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0z2wahWos
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rdL81SlYJ

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuKjnGQFmv

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BGIifZksa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvrDPLQ08d
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2gVpfSkzb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVpMMeK9gV
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTH8Ueuo4K

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GYQeigK7u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKqVoWcgKO
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkOe4G544Y

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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv9aIhHWDs
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTzBmEbuOl
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbgFrLy57U
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHx2G1d5R
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTjrVvhSPm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYph3rVTwd
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm2SPL85Pc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMRuuk3LxN
"How do I look?" he asked me.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCKjDTzmvo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdek9a8zn2G
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBbo77FnrN

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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXgljazPL6
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGrK3P0YXW
"What about me?" Jimin asked.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNwd0Vgzji
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoXGpnqsnk
"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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Ws0VxBTD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6k1Hyza51
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8uY0HZSXS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzciGU2zP8
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU1RBKW6Vu

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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyRxhMMUc

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHLkBOHC9E

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjzXInLPi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxifvfzWwe
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nmYx0e9ev
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLkvC8RIah
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1C8krHz4U
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp5N537VIq
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAcNmWd5xy

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJLbMKHYKW
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqMdbakUjk
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8VqU4cG6B
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLub59SBaQ
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH0Df8HWn9
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlSCRjYMz
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfhUS1jb1w
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECPOba4ezs
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwx8ebxMza
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjqniu7OuO
"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."380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt6TSNMc8Z
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VSqOYzBg
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7rM7ijuGU

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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc7EogFlNs
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBsZdTsLBX
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSRbXkovzF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxomFi4eC9
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.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVTAjeTh3D
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I2LJ9HOQf
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7D2cZAr1S
