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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVnspPbBOU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvLUVjksot
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61RZz9k84t
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V4KmugSWF
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnoPjakYVX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnPduGUIJY
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UnbrLCRl8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQdsUFffy
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbA045ed0V
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O4JhVTPEn
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2WP2tGnQr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9SybfJCUs
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVDU33yqh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVQo6oSEi
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDCBnj0iUL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1TTbBHdk0
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOuHzIR2Ez
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdXXAf71D8
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06MjcdtZ5W
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNEE3r3HZD
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq8Nm6FooV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqDD246Swq
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwcCH8uQB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRE9pOOel
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOeKDz0Crq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNJ6wgPfXA
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWLNf2eAwj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrt3lUDCpm
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMDy7Cm7A0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcinXXSppR7
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUhAQPbIx7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZZFVhp4jo
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOSvzpzwNQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRehcdfMRy
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrop3B6at
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrKvXIrvLL
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnom3cpXRZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZZBFWMosE
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhmP2StRyM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKAc5Rm2Lf
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dB8Ae99HZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZCZghnqXF
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWtce7pNFk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ965WTFc0pr
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Zs9MTOQX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKIiVysZbb
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXchvOSig3B
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi4SFrnodQ
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc96Lkwb7E
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9H4lR4Jf
"No, tell me. What's going on?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxykEuiRPyU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgSQpAuAZ
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutvKCNbcFR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2yW2RwVsu
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuC1gZivjX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oziDQjwS4
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gkDuhhDPf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScjrYpMzAp
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgWIxCaI6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsWjnH0VP7
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuZoLPxxD0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JQJhJjE4y
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfygsRGvtR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLWjXvllya
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9idhRLesj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkIGIbFSws
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1D2uo7SV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMYgHW6IYb
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfEZ5panhs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj18W9umYOZ
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ386Gc5Af1B
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHVQKof7dU
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7TUNX2OUG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTGzboOsu0
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISDhRkCEz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUOhQaO0el
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkypzikozY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTBCBMlviT
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk0OoLYBvb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HZWRiV9iU
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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LKsLsRmuf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwHWEP6ey
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGygZi8wfQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DaAmBsnkM
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82scJWromF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsORZngAbzM
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojvQDgN7BR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2vXE6BfCy
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OC00AROHm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WBARwnGNr
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJfkNIuS0r
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRm5nb81Tx
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6milnWUXM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTz3ceil2
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmL31YWUTb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFabKzdhorS
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHziUAmBxuR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzvzITB7MB
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzck36W7WG7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIbwikDHco
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yd9AEuYN6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7Nns39aq5
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsBpwK5H1V
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1czuDVmpSA
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqe2cse0hI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHPdr8TU2O
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrG2UTmZe0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEHcuCVWoR
"We lie as usual," I answered.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL98ok3TFc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQh24IZyeY
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjyxOsKf1q
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfmkgiDdha
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQaAg1wRxV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9rDGWcv7n
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPmaajtN2Y
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4SzNkdkA
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OvtFI7hlB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhwuFhIGt
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5CJvAUAp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLoh3OcfJy
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSgEsXXQwH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9iaz14a1T
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIBbMva4ob
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8JiQ7cTAk
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAMgLyL9tl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X4FSjS3UF
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbhjhCV7XA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pge4REz8F
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff8aX4y9Az
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6lskzF5f
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CaRrxlzXq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK3H48Mitc
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33prIZGrLQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6g9P47H7j
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIv18aXDuZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK99AxWxZ7
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsb7vYt6De
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdE4ePpLNe
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3z6ea2TdJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkFidJKOuN
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxPc7K8A64
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40pSYN5QGD
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteRwce69q8
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtvXsblJZA
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpm6fPFX5W
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y3MGTGA6i
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGykqjj7wTO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIvFcSZhJy
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWANjsKefFO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBFz2yMdgu
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2XS6PSHL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ryWowaXU
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsAT4Znh1M
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxjMvUpOC
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCBN3a9n2m
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2xYvI6yHn
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eNFtex0js
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPu7aMAbbC
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSoORcdEKW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVhr98iDZq
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7CQBiJTC9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEwnmdslDv
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5OemMRwyd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4XQpy0t9y
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9m33qMxmG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHueBnQjbi
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc699FHzRLy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ074CBn3QDr
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eyE03oNW4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMkjkNpg8R
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaZr1LSKgu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA2VzcnNDk
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPvJoVMgE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaETrNmaydK
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XaGGUXbo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEoUZ1n5rr
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5jJYWWolf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilYf3Nstrf
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2X3PRNrL4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIehhfUcN1
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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BypKn1O9M
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZUg13ywkX
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKt3zWgErg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenPyiuVtIW
"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?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGK1Zk5Zzb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHDt9DsZAP
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWmlUq6lH4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIn0ol9ozK
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q8dxspXKC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKXip89ovV
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS70mBOydz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxjV4DKip
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib2Cnu797v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn7ykhhnpe
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf5N8WuNje
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdovwozUtwT
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhF0dqsmU0

"I agree," said Christine.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MKk56oooI

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVRd63GTTa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaaop0dnzj
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9QxGu0TUA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD0M9CSFzl
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayhHn4wVg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yUqjDMwwG
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2o7762rPM

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46LS89ffd5
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdR98GGIEk

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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNWANjFym5

"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ouv1H7aOW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKiJ1XgKPX
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzuWp5IjWh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5RopHzef5
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7SyFRVjO2

"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftMro2okT

"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1uNtAxI5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYz6N2C9Jo
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvTntF0sHM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6z9ADaBzJ
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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhBW9Zg7cs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqEK8P1pVg
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOa64XbBEa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jsYG2zQlW
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyMNKuMKO4

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp1hiVetxQ

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUJqJ29ZZW

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJlZYfJJK0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbOGycAFOV
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQREGwPyNL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0V1GHKKZ
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhWSgemlZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwzVDruyTz
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmFKLHsMPR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCHWFUnS3d
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfY9hIxq1O
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62mU1gSicT
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEBk3yLQ2V

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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVXnzYHzSy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BTV7CSTcs
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra62KBtUBR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VsOgnb1gs
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3Vev3TGPv
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKGxFzY4R4
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAYvVt5bAX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dm91KlNt9
"How do I look?" he asked me.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznZoiVheuq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQagOW2R0C
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73X0bOxgJz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4uIqDnJyj
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NJgsaiB9f
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrldzJL2JEq
"What about me?" Jimin asked.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyZkdsWrBE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivJZWIoehJ
"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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RHL3PQFNP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRpZJcz1Q6
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ajUz5YWi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ck6Q5W2d
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi5nNvLlwL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrXOjJX8Di
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9IrieJ1Sr

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJlzGbLtLx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaoDqByg4K
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooR0pQpxnq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDmMfMXYJ6
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZ8smOCXo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtJVsh8WKh
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfbLnCVWBj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yaHx6G5ge
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstgltZM5Nr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HLRCmOPX9
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG5bupRsDX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudkr3HxakT
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69mXrfv3fY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaoF1byFNc
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpbxfReZG5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwYj9orCzS
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbQNcUzyl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniFlvVkJsj
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCcAvHcQzJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FerJXNeFs
"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."358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cyPbGsRVO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJECjBrapFO
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh7hwN0RUt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z4vyouH9P
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0VMgrnpah
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxltUVl1Bwl
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRrOZEmW7L
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NfPIpfEtd
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.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlitGMvE4ls
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31t7Yg2QiG
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy65EOrQqM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyECUKlos5
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
