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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DTcpOBWlE
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDlDJnsW48
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0sxgT0adm
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm471oRfacN
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytqrx5W00w
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr5fNQ2eNC
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LV8Wk1ifD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dNUndaycS
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuYXBObhmN
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jzxd3IUQn
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKO8zdmhNK
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbGU7r96ER
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zesHtdup9
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu3NVwkCnP
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZCLHBoPf5
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8qqY2yeq6
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGghuyCGe
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wgVOAmfjd
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNiIQ0Rmlq
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH67mwDZes
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2PzvmDYhB
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NtG2WBnA5
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTqrJ8EGb0
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihlQt6KidJ
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyzXQrt3ap
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvqIb3Nob
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2z6SDgRQd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJorFFpBFz
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC9RprCzxA
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcqVPVTJ3I
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDtFACPoX8
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aBgRRKJvo
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdquukizZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3jEjDW4CK
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ujMRDxrEU
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uSQQ81UIu
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVMuhu0vLc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk4CveAvOy
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hblrjgdtZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0EdPTAMXJ
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLDgSYdYtl
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOffWES2eP
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnPSRocCa4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XsooZOn0n
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVHImTJKkZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lno1nryr0
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FbsMVcCQC
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXML7o1Agz
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXSn0E5uI6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm9U7JhSwI
"No, tell me. What's going on?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh8JuB7CeO
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWagtgaNRCh
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZixXWxzc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmzFov6HNG
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QIHEYoOmH
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf87Dcw4NLs
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oUuqOx65n
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQsPx4E7NQ
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uXGhuVC4O
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvPjJs1HqN
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlOArfKj6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSIVt8Lgkv
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj4KOTVES7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jPphnItjl
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnKOx8Wf6Z
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds9ppCUSPP
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79n5VnQD4k
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMlv1pCe1
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ911KKAQmOR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCltb2awIIC
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqvkn9O3st
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPnRTtM8FI
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU79EXku8pT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH9Xkvaaj7
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPlr9xn0LU
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEGCVQEtje
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6aOP415RP
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4jkqbGtNf
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJdrHI7sp8
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKOd2O1kfx
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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ8YyJWGgz
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiu6EPZC8v
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNwZ2vLS9
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw7cjrXASQ
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5HU9Qw1cs
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksAcNqmPZU
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIY8Yn1TCs
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46JczLHDgT
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1It3S5mItc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eolXPM9mb
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSxbrJI75F
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbLZCrwrBA
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35gMMBKnyF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZdreuopbe
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCPdZdped
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFV1VFUYY
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0CcrTf5Th
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz83FDWpci
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8GAoaXmhI
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUnQvEijpj
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaXDq7mYwM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5xNvATEm4
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6wi27IomA
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb54AypzRZP
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjTtp9l6J4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKXPYCLz14
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb7E45J8aY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc6Vi0HPCn
"We lie as usual," I answered.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcqX8TQvu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxugT0Hh6w
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSXDDKv5VZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM7ozLcWUT
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2JZcRdGH
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYVPgGJi32
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLjmoZFE3
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQDZHys3G0
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGqXxfc5B
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iyfgvJpSx
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBhSPyH3Vc
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vDHCxpQwe
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9FhFIiXW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdppDivZZH
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOzfco9O4H
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FwciZJBJT
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgeyVTRXa4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl4ZmozYIr
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EQUCltUZu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4q0wQmd3R
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeQ1fpmojq
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmTgUDcp5d
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMy9GfnUlj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqPfPi6Y5H
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EJqrEqx0p
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF06mzevta
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpeWlEu3Bj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGY1hvXLaF
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2x09E64Kk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXHtX6ILBB
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4154U5Hwdu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq7MFZC8mE
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0beKRlOeT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AbjfgOQf8
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUZKWXX4Nq
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Pkn9QJ26
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfyx4h9J8m
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhbe55ecSb
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9bT1mDWaD
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqOI1CebN
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIuZE9xbUk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt4W6pj1VA
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYV08ewO1
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoE0LBOxlu
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfb4rlDDNP
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVMC4w859H
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJjyeOMM2J
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTj5JklCz
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkrnpjm6Az
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7HoSqG1tT
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpptq3whgl0
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9a1JMTGzq
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOejVFSgZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDmrHh4G45
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaw6gdMtdy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4cLWbhu4C
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFsAkPr3OY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwAaP0xTDX
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzfo0r3K0s
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLOmCLVD2
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxYvGD14hM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjURgCQNr
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67ZqtW5Q9i
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkwTnh8YKQ
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTSMq65io7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNEjY0WAhj
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCnal4cQER
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSRjBbjdN
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb76B1vPgu8
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Jd2Zv2as4
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rj9tvWrp
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobPUAY8jp
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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInANpFZpfm
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb4ndNYN1i
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPeiQwMb1
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7mpqZhq0n
"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?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6Qg4y4xf
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3WWBQ8gvT
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGJszUtxI4
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQYeRelSC0
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLuPgLl73O
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVanWC3Iog
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSLDph1HlJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzXMMlRQP
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZja0jqyHhv
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYMP0xxxFZ
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYXpv1NeHg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF20dLMY9B
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdKP3erXED
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM0PY8ltpF
"I agree," said Christine.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MRPPSEXzN

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpoEMCFGGL
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi48SzKicpj
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjy2WlJcst
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5qbCmold
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSWBbktFWt
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgBRcGg0Jn
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NZNVPDM49

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4glmfRVQtJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnPuOnqC9a
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgIccc4khm

"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPxHcuCQtu
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTYooSWJbH
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypDejbveIW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oW3DnDNTa
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxwpHZ08pK

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvAVhjuiTE

"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11i1Nyp53z
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb5G878u0v
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFILEaoaPy
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqIRszQztH
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYxdMKbJ0z

"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ZM1zAqJT
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVFhzja9r
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNrv0uwUL7
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cu1ShtDuT
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmrV3zqQPR
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsPhPyscjV
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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnon4mvSf2
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzgPY8QkFM
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMjWtj2hTI

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoXOjFOjVD

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcdWFwITAJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj823SrN1Cp
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoRHTSvuhh
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt7KLm4C2X
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoi4zt4JEM
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqQNPqoEq2
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhDjLXrtOk
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOS7pX3DZS
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fKkeqigp
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GTEXSULTC
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOPrJvhmgj
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOzkFUC4IL
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WawK3HtYZ

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlythinyI
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7KqVeJAxJ
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPnr0YwNx
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtYuSI2XH
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWqwwBKAX6
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41S3PqaV6p
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilC1EAbASZ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbu1IYANUK
"How do I look?" he asked me.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWCN62hVW
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJSk4XfsuW
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPGn1ZwUUg
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlhp5WboR
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN6RnwgAHF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD53x9wBPz
"What about me?" Jimin asked.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h9ICsOxRJ
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFXgAL2iTX
"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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jxr3fRssw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzehE8h5bI0
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRicddhyZw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTmXRmsump
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc2M2QOEX5

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW6UKMVz1Y

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc9UjFjRN9
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQM5u1jmUk
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ynVNgrIY
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUzNCevZCL
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoIX9iHoQw
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9msADu14
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZY2dJwYTN
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaWNDffL7d
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZ92c3Z6u
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOMXX0TXId
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPQThBFUE
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQYHfifkWS
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqjSwqRynC
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewZY4W1NC
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiY06M8tJh
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WJAzCFmq
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS7Y4FHaq1
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxlKyyT7ab
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcmAT5G3VO
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr3h5URred
"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."431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhogERns3CA
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPniecB1KNV
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPGM9kglvW

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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0OrHEgtwd
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe0W6pgeML
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mSg79ziRF
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EicWY0w0R
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.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6kHoHyqlr
431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtBrcCEvEU
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrljGh5MiLI

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