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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7HeJJPzt2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhdE7MWaZF
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjI9lVcB29
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWs1NXyZQJ
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtq9YPoSfA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKk23MN1Y4F
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJLpIuT4Ih
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YlsIZUK0z
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FlPx0Q9ys
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71cDzb7HlZ
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdylXVD20zO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDZiULNlRG
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuRHzQK0X3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx49jixd0T
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeoMmgGUcU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw8VlX0CWU
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L9hndrLJr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdpf3EbMwp
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NPFFCZTDv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwVwWE5G3
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQACAQngqvH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IWJKuzk7d
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzZdoN8sLt
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN80x9FVJAA
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnKj5CW779
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJhouSfc06
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiI3yct5ZE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6H5PeqR5t
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSXaEiJMa1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNLPzQPKhM
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hMsyhNfRL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl7MaLIoei
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa1NXXC6av
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif80at80Kz
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGenigJXyQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Yqj7ow5W
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0qaDBL3J
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjuMlTRjMh
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr9noTW7QC
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53OYMVR61
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWxE3emiXV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB3NCRDRkT
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlXBt9Ir2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgVhDgT0DM
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKysD8fMh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BktfuYw00
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK356uGZBsj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrVgHAw2YK
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGaIK6PNu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr06i7B4QRo
"No, tell me. What's going on?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPypvmrY6l
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGFVU1VM8h
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv2oYYZ5GJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABBPaXSR6X
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQy7G5jQJc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy0GsyTqbk
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qLQsAAIbK
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ174qJJvmBs
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDjhKrflAd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbyYQL7XDs
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMe2yGYxYu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJzZnRFtzx
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcASB6bxxu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzzJId2NhR
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5fWJN9vVv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DYl8AY9m
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RiosVg6b1
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYeUos5iLt
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVmtW26V8I
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yBziwaEM4
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT7LmJ3YlI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmcE1Lp78s
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUw6CsTw9n
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bDKXefLde
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGheImxRTd
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObGK35p3Q
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bmucaoVXE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSiJfiGkT
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEHG80ZMHb
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QeaW1GDwc
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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJUvgnu2Bq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT2ZyTxiD0
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLKa2m4cHV
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvkglYkSbw
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MDFdOfIMB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjw9vZxwMV
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl1jZkHn06
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxRfDsJUiO
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD6KYAwx2F
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTB704oBKS
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcNjaN6KAn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XHkxwTKbo
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTHz813jj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MjruIIUuS
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w5HrGg4yw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtsTPU6dky
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEyOVO87Kf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf6eIL17Bd
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqt8i32PSJ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFnN7Zsawm
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDDT7BylhD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbT0CZWIBZ
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMN0b6vWUP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0KydDQuau
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq6W9y4Ncj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXpDmkTOnc
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2i7uRrpAT
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyYbCT6mvi
"We lie as usual," I answered.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUs2oP3nmP
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNIcDIKeAk
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQdaL0ErSj
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wxK6HraIx
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEloXHdWjp7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKSIgkUD8X
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfO397jcU9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykSztN9dR
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WihyfnKft
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx8LnZq9Vp
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yVO8U3jf5
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr2KF3LGoI
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3zduYjIqZ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTsGY64u77
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgItMon9MYr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO44ubPrHC
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE9eRPewvY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjRsEwPsEX
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobs3Wg8KEv
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCJ81O8SQ
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3BNXR4X6P
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFcFIoEten
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclUsqs5Tn
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdZDhx8EUX
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2lUtarBgu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8mRyrbl6v
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArbG72Y43
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXqLyAnIoe
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPSouN2yH7
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnlOCdKTjH
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTQbPfx6tO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhum0UAiegZ
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM4M1hOBoc
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbmLtN6Uig
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6d5cPk6v
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvZJoE2aYF
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwILVcCPzq3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAB0todNJW
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG76T455DMO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wa4xPx3Kx
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4biVz7178
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmgG883rfJ
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gd8X3Egi3
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzPr8JaDif
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJaiAGSsp
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZy1PQj7LA
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiUwyfAMI2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb5TH0jYQB
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckbEvFfwU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ru9X4R4ED
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKyT7hZbcO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnNVnFmSDd
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536pSDfvMf
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60B6v1MODq
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGbpf91FsY
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXJK1bYE6p
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCITw29XD95
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeytftfeuDQ
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9GNHww19I
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiwQ7YazEP
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpdp5JmKKU
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTQLKJkc4k
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6R6oUTuGG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ZaDPAs1T
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdfnJhk2Qz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtqOQnqiFh
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2lYl5C8Gh
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbdYa3hdR1
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBvKDINspk
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz6Ryg1fBz
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GGBYRzZ0A
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGtZXnToDL
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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5yEsJc0u
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzvant6Sxh
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuWSBQ6aOA
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriOd50UrkO
"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?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZSall4MTM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptx7Iumb0p
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaY303bOD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BZcF24mRf
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM9oV8o6Rr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9G33wFiq7
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSfMALVVjS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOKzkGQvJ0
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkaX7ZBXu
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiltZZMsCt
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgvNqhkKD4
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNGDoU9wzS
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhzDNdtDIW
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLcmapndM
"I agree," said Christine.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1USpNrXgju

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUeESYs5Nr
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHP88Kkqid
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93QRv2FpC9
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxuqIsGCiH
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnwbMlDacx
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaimkr9AAe
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIJOrrWUQ

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEbUVDPSl3
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfeiQaeLfd

349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAILzlQlVXy
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE9R2DrXEn

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLO08R0Fin

"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXXh5pz8x
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuLH141cUz
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3EcvUo3JL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpl3F1rNnT
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC5F2TWjev

"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW1MzRghAq

"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVgQO3BXLB
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2M1erycUc
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZJq7jlaFO
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5fT6PPXLG
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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4WXAmJ674
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep53X8X6Ri
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Mr4IIdka

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUa6QQalYE

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQlWVhSzeQ
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy4ZQrSbnN
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VthyctVg8
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r7gIDERoL
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYeANpLgQS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaHSpLoHBh
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFViu87rU7B
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIMPb1iSNV
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2vHdKHEuR

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bb54tZMXS
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7mWqdQfQy
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJkgGY0rE
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSpP8YASPS
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ7Gt2gi4b
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBWTIL9AFR
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmdWxczJrH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdLbe0W4LV
"How do I look?" he asked me.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATeAluZy6
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M3vXxZlWX
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWa9wVOVWz
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lcyl9z6iY
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb1xqc90pq
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjzTUmkpl9
"What about me?" Jimin asked.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB8qlawMJI
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPSzMJNDaq
"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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhDUf2zgrM
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxjU48FQ4u
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHfzhUyzw
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRws3H6X2c
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK0FQV8eR4

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZXf7gcPtt

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ08SytS3l
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZNebOnLDD
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzffWpqx4Z
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8mmjBnzkV
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnQklvdSqL
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGX5Hfia7x
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJg8j6YUz2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsSX6DXlfG
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP8zJ7z9eD
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQPIJrxlt
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe78InY86qo
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTf9CpZ5Qd
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Lxt3FDgEH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpdst8AjUc
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4tTSPoSQ2
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3wDDnEP4e
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKKmze2FpH
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic92NXeL3U
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTZwCLPffg
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP3vcvw6rW
"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."349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsUlDc8UPF
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ii96euut
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIqA0Sri2

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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjYlebR6R
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE5BVLLxxe
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiISVxDfkG
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgNxS22ckC
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.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNPB3C8Irl
349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2sHbe7iwA
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.349Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FSdDgzX3n

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