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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGSOOnnyrm
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vxmdrg4MT
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW26q2ohH6x
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm1c3yduY7
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizlMIurCPu
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOWb13gZey
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagpwck2722
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbERj15gWB
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ugrBMg1u
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucA2RhHFOt
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMNDt5VvbE
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBDXDhEWwf
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPHzVNgZNl
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZtB6yCuU
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGkNq4qfLz
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybUwYuXNxf
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lqgjsbOy
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztgAQEmbwY
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM08403fv0P
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw6p6Wlsws
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMStGRStKhU
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsLKTnb3H1
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYgMm9S9Bh
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtXNCcryct
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRB7odz76
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE0LJNnVCz
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnauUEnRP0
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcEMUK235H
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQONykMHD6
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJx1qSgYdR
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtdQo6Q0SS
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qYtvfZOYZ
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Qc1esJyA
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhoYsfQClC
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SUbXD93z8
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iyaJkS42i
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl93AmPMkg
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Jq7UjiV7
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68wnewmh6
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69HD12n89
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CtsssGx10
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ0wUJMfm0
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzK5JSHGnQ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeXI3Qn62L
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOat4MbsFla
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjPAmHz19G
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ke4naAaJp
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wsm8KO65A
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNpYEWOHJ8
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPZVtjTNTu
"No, tell me. What's going on?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqFwAgz56r
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGcyGAtP7Y
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfjgiHFkux
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZzgBabefO
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD56tjId6Jg
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtgWs2hiH
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2O2MGNVOv
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZI90hriMO
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyKvJiwrOs
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx3Xmpibxe
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KPdwqavfS
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyID2YM7gOL
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR4taXET2d
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7SGcMMAIF
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2yoGuCgGn
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xG8QCnMYV
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCeOdUWMwG
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13vbRWqPt
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaEwHibAdO
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphtGvyXlaM
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFcaAbGZee
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLxdNALkn7
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzQvFZCcyW
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKmfwiglIi
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBGUWRn20H
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJUZdT6pfD
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBklNTCOOy3
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFEvk6xVtz
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qhxB9nCwV
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkVhoz6FDD
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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitGDTx2oGQ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4oOrLj2Xw
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpECu1JssO
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOpbXrG7k1
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPHskOf8cj
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZPnwV9erl
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYS5YMdep
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH12YpkTfE
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnsmy0iyOl
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mf89my9IA
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHrVxdH1dA
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXj687MbZa
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJormifldr4
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXpmX9qO9
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStENqHAAXd
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCliK7NS1bc
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRkjizB7rY
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5unjKsml0
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnLKwiu3TN
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mvBgFIBc
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgmu11iXW3
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27OovU9cpK
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NNkBhklAD
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdZ1SQHep1
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUr1tQI41
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtT7k5Ovm8
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmhNI4Npgs
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8Zje8jIPY
"We lie as usual," I answered.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiNTrAA9eL
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R3aXRsIOm
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH3tSqz5Qz
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4apySCb92K
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLi970YK5K
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbmjXjrBVB
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFhZWTBfeu
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56XfUbtbdP
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdOBxxHJq8
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCrnauuR0B
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcztuYzbh2
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59LDglKYyW
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHuJfaFu0N
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK6uJdNRHJ
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhldPrYxxuK
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcCWwPRC2n
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OEWsI5zMV
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dWXDBz1uJ
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYrFH7kRDa
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUNYT4CT8B
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVrLzAj2fh
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggWgqOyJSu
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5UAL5ltFv
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lmi0R8YdA
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnj9CWGT1P
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvHrjEBVfO
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh7elPPnRZ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5vxKN3WZI
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbe0PD1LGz
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZjqqgtxp
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPfOcDonw9
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBY3pjemVY
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJUiIDA2EY
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iTV4qUtDV
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOlt6Xo7yf
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYDuy5JvkA
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeSgSPKJiR
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPmWTcCuW7
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJeSdOQBUJ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5JQavxlAr
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCx86lN5qS
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYY5CQQVj
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV6vQPvTEI
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HtKpAV4rv
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFxBL1Xymd
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGTkJcEexw
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagKsQAyIFf
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNmPIKLmpz
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFYQnEnRjJ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoe5Da7GUt
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtbkLaHUzb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHqDv0IvL4
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuylBtOmil
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveBurruTtY
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82j9H1Am5H
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvZhWgOE4A
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtVNmLC0tb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA45arnTUA
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlRhoHBk3k
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5fkAbw69
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV9YWKxDcb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE5PQ7KQkP
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppGclz7tto
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nCnBvIXK6
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZgb5o4iCT
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIpduVy4Uz
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xzS8wJIk
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PKP2FtXIZ
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ZnP3Hedy
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTT09jueqw
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIorwD0Fa
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD4mARxoUw
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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mKjGXZgiP
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJR1wAMXuM
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0xqdzqvHy
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9B5TnE60s
"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?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqxG4BoGmL
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei4iILDFPF
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVVLxl4CuD
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqkaXC43wV
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBv025mq4R
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L1reIlYav
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yQ1JMzPeT
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxy9pnFgKJ
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsQuB10kQt
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIk69ovvb
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zcpCHt9v
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnhw2H1bPY
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDwV5fJRss

"I agree," said Christine.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGfNGGojZl

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWExTy3vx0
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQKYG8UftK
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPG53QonX
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX174dZl7Gg

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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ZFIUDX2R

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfq7sUTSF8
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZo2tgzY9q

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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrogKRnN4ld

"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSThB43qmf
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNbOMgDKh0
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0S6rqLqKa
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnkf2DZWd7
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL6aIHiG4Z

"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pd3p6vKwg

"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51QUutCle1
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35lkvN3mf6
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPkpQTZ6yB
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WcoskyBV
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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoskLZbNtKi
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf8c4zcQaO
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ57GuuPiJA
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wfgn4vFPG
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjvltUcovl

434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVyOpAtQWw
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu10UHvNUF
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vd2bmNQC6
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0IODbV5WV
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9NKBefki
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3Mt9fxorJ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuTrMaV8vO
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Zb524Q9r
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCAn7MWiwA
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9SdwDSBS5
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO7Em0nskQ
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9z8Wkeyo4

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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01a6W1p4fp
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJqElaAH0c
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEk5cbs7FQ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAvGenMVeZ
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla0TtA0Nqb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin8W2YrPXL
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjfJHLMbTD
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKCocyHFTP
"How do I look?" he asked me.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlML1OUFCyb
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X4qnqDfJV
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxOvil5jz2
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpORIyD5g3l
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHy7sQKvyw
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizggGdgCtB
"What about me?" Jimin asked.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxFrqJm1BY
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9sDOEIVC
"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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBF6TzQvUH
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFZBHgJvtG
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLteWQLt194
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfcsAMB6mb
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki8I73lChR

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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwAj6q54z

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEzNaXs1XI
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbMs7ZrUZR
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5QjajpB51
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIRZAWv0d9
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCGxm2VkHQ
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX1czf5PEW
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrK1YGsfvB
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKmV296VX6
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtC8kUwKvr
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSwle2fGK
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSU0IdxWqF
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnN2M9NfKj
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJjhHhoTyM
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfGXmhyFhY
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EsjjZOxKR
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9L66ZrO3
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEJMTsTVeI
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmLClwOgTJ
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZTfIHBHtS
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvc4qaSmgd
"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."434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb3VeE3w2w
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88fNDX1paQ
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav8jnpV917
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs8C68WZzv
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUGWmsjgT6
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpLyfh9bmn
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vNfEFl7RK
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ97jBruUt
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.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyatzWB8Pg
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4o49x9aOx
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhwmgRBFfz
434Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nOMGMwzt
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
