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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNfhMRmSd5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336MYINogC
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZNRA7uHzm
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2TFlI0CvX
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB3PQVmAJR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgADv6ewsv
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixGw3W9RbI
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyi0nznOAm
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzntzvXE5Xf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qW0c1K98
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ndt7RsX4
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7iDebc2v0
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDQYmmkzM3
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNwYNl3Qc7
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq56jEkBZAe
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqegr9uZNmx
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBJ3DFtBvb
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAfNOUJcii
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoc54hY5Qp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1je9HuozoY
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ulFHWsk60
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fd7QPbygt
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvS8vWsHFJ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iMPgYUf0c
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5SX63wneK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7QagxabE
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P0Ter8dwZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy3rtWtM8a
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQRUXe1Tx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb9dFcXqya
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4CHYNWgvu
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ffmLZHbV7
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYowhPpXgj
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglqNvtTGAO
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTMjqgngOv
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsgLY2w4o
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dflyow5Kg
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRaefnLxe
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyl2k0R7TS
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNmUA2mVqt
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjMykb9j5B
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6Lmpq4Wx
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocQnVMCqFW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoPuQrlrsQ
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxc5xIXxAM
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjvgk92H0H
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxs58O5Q6
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMqYoLOlDn
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3EApn0jx

"No, tell me. What's going on?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPoOUEcu2
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIoYRHMuml
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJChwjSz2Lr
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8a47zta2Q
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcKB6ew9Kf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN8qIyAun8
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZSY8RLlmB
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhQXmIGGOU
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ewOkzRjf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0QRro1VJJ
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfcFBwMRk
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WS2yVvvYT
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnODyis4V0
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6py7dPVSD
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfGrhcqLIx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVKiKQVSfF
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn4N5Om7vp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3H0IDn5xr
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQ7Nq1PE5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFtY4S7OF6
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjw3m5sR0F
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5NDiFcnb
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOprUqdn3uR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn70IX6r2m
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf96de08wc9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjSaCpfxd
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQAskPr3Dy
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVME1CuWiwG
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwDTEo8Yg5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSK623KXY
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd0zBgOFwh
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30OTLzUdmq
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1MTXKNZtn
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaWAKxXW9I
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQR9zyRau
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc8GYU2QrP
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTbvfspxf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2BInIuSUm
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hzK7oM2A
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNDtK6F9rW
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ48GMioPaM
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs1C8wU6TP
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfPMV6LNuV
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92lPY0wyPe
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEhULw30c9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PMWknpfQV
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y43i2nFwl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYeqKDo9pa
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5oYhnR0JT
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HCvk554bl
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolzZDL58Fs
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoPz7CSC6K
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J4WAVxvka
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvDr5y3hsb
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntaqZmIBrh
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJb59HSQkU
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5NNPbMtwr
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPENQ2deJz
"We lie as usual," I answered.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWhKizBlib
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HI7VrBrAm
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6VUEMToKx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D4gOT8QfV
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KLcimlLdK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBhE2YCN1z
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIoAqtxgnE
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH05miOFif
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEkB9hpIpT
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiatrGFR48Q
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFXk01aD4p
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gbaUqou2a
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB5kP6JYZ7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ZGoC3Upg
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzo0jqTFhp
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35DNJsXMM1
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ1L1ceZ0G
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16hLaAqXdq
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlbITkQam4
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8vy8i8jTR
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcpRvQb9i
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04l2OGX5Ne
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FJlVEgSqA
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmBd200Ip3
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44l7j3TK7l
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdXK3bLuCd
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsKPNYIwyq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzHTElFzFi
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2euZ6mWXL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0EaO7RFMe
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknMYSRdotY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdX9ecCXm5
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiLl3kG04f
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsF7EeonNW
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhsW2Id2c
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOCX70T4ai
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGok1nDjPew
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32L5gfSV7H
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ixDoVs5d9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0UjTGZTA1
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXLSfxOHFK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiNkujnzIf
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf7XaO8ERL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3UAfhptrJ
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0DLRJfjCY
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOC6QXVZwA
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODNcCnTJR5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqzEJeotgu
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ObuyTpJ9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf4pvx49qz
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LFoI7kbVi
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQAxT1WBai
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucDNXKVNuP
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGh9YtZLS
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOLFQwxAHa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qGQLLp49w
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqZHpxy07z
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKL3eXC8KE
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ngeMyMvj
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QirA8WljN
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC2hUlpVmK
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPpx47Txgd
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXmB9Zc3fx
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIWfMyGzQ
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu31s5tYPFi
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG07uoDKGDM
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDPmVL9NZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqBBT8gkt0
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCeyhDvaLa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSkOIQuKuq
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZsKoNszE5
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWKDKGdrz9
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSvf4PxxL2
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqrkQrPrFz
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O84tbzzRT
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoFYsjMy8Q
"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?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2vz6SJssy
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtl9AzPRUA
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4eI4KKSFn

"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QtuHBPiws
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVoVQ0FZIB
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxHADFiaL
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFppFnBHkHX
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRr67m1uNP
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonyFAE1xaw
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GSaKyh9Lc
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQbdySJBL6
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRweFBvDvX

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgJ653qiRX
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajHist6BFf
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqQZ19N6HD
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBasA8AGcqa
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAL2gMre3J

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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIiAnPX7Qe

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15sbFafIZO
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvvOcfL4Z

457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhI9WTPSIt

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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fOVahydX

"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQf132ZYa1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVzdR1w5hx
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUCRIhXvR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2Lyk8GGL
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd9hPkRnKP

"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpXpXnTIja
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhzkcypTC5
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdF8Cf17xi
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4uqSEdmdv
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuca2d98rF
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosNiqHsNk8
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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExS40RUU1e
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWBl1eTInW
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQQJ0p73ep
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGYxHwSJMY
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeBKm6KVbu

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbDe8OfOCJ

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsubqljHFX0
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieWFs6xDeO
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vEqJNZjAa
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWlmJcOhW9
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDiFMmR29f
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH4Rmo30uJ
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVRmt6P6zq
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaPA2CNJ44
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060n7T31dZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SUVbDQpVU
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFgYlbr8dE
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwfZobxrSh
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVmoVMR0A

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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUItzjiNEf
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlSPzw08MV
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKcKMsH9XW
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX3NsAYcK9
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALRsj0nEkR
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cd0oJPAx9
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt2ZW6zaGl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf38fUSLAo
"How do I look?" he asked me.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vMT6LjZdy
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwVr36ryOt
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KB1V0MLtO
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzANdR08Xfv
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqPMEYi3LO
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBMrY1AHGP
"What about me?" Jimin asked.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaFa5blSHh
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzU2Ou3jiF
"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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcebr5wLUP
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8pEJq3zsc
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgJ2IjVc6E
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3spB15VZ
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdierKo14b9

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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDf4ogxJKj

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLVCZoUu32
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQhhbDxwCK
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplTPyvHRBd
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLquDHUty
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaCnZVn8eC
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrTBJSernB
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxkxKyN5s1
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACICQ0ZOL
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupEHr21YaF
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0kama7YA
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTEoVvNYzn
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiA0CajHPu
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErhtBP15k9
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOg3qPwtZc
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97smol1ZDZ
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxzE1CNXTF
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KvvCplqt6
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkFKWghV3K
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscknKrhWsT
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ucYCkyhly
"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."457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTI5EBQvtl
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEZyFZuQa
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvC7iRXoNE

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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeKXWasygu
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6FrEjcvfw
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OtHiARf5F
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcXzA5pwn9
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIreQQeLheo
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb2fWYVU10
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hJ2sMEkr7
457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiiYpvAyI7
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
