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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA4w93Vyn75W
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmO2Pm7YxTi
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.424Please respect copyright.PENANAn97GbLz4Ic
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZNywZT1JKg
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAyG8laQJai4
424Please respect copyright.PENANAchYKdsO9De
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."424Please respect copyright.PENANAuwr56W5zyi
424Please respect copyright.PENANAlNz7vaipQZ
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAzph8MW7Gf3
424Please respect copyright.PENANAGyiVAa5FHs
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."424Please respect copyright.PENANANFc7SukXvD
424Please respect copyright.PENANAU6YM2sYBNy
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAcvuMmMLyTF
424Please respect copyright.PENANAm1aH4EhjzT
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.424Please respect copyright.PENANAR9CRDWRR65
424Please respect copyright.PENANACqPEuAMZN4
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?424Please respect copyright.PENANArhvnjKLaoC
424Please respect copyright.PENANAjMKYz9fxps
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.424Please respect copyright.PENANArZvwAacKIs
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfNEFuMoGhA
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKCuUQcUpkC
424Please respect copyright.PENANASkeCb499tJ
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAtFn3sCitWN
424Please respect copyright.PENANAThYLZKo2dG
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANA8B1VuIRBPf
424Please respect copyright.PENANAjIPe6Il4dA
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.424Please respect copyright.PENANAkk82D5CRcw
424Please respect copyright.PENANA6ySIfUxTHs
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAK6achU7e7c
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQwQlybyGbg
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."424Please respect copyright.PENANAA9yjCG2oW0
424Please respect copyright.PENANAu9MA447CGG
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAWR5sAWKk76
424Please respect copyright.PENANAEvl9ZOAoDz
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."424Please respect copyright.PENANA2kbHehg085
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdyfXiuy33W
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"424Please respect copyright.PENANA8NXxQlSjHD
424Please respect copyright.PENANAokQRCQh6t6
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAJhSekMiZ64
424Please respect copyright.PENANA5hhLSnNzsI
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."424Please respect copyright.PENANAgYCL55TE51
424Please respect copyright.PENANARu4oT3PrfG
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."424Please respect copyright.PENANAErLIjcWIKR
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOSC4qQzxYm
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."424Please respect copyright.PENANAtELdfi1r5P
424Please respect copyright.PENANA0aUYw3LDAu
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAaqKinom03n
424Please respect copyright.PENANAvv31jLnxY1
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."424Please respect copyright.PENANAq0oWWSHVE0
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzxe98voaS2
"No, tell me. What's going on?"424Please respect copyright.PENANADlXInLg84q
424Please respect copyright.PENANANRYfstWNz8
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAwyHXiUWXUZ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAflxiM9hYNP
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAToxEEQiWqb
424Please respect copyright.PENANAKEBpLVtn1y
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfawKWVCu
424Please respect copyright.PENANAAdDvvmzeWN
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAw5ssrsQOPi
424Please respect copyright.PENANAPBNwMdhH0H
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.424Please respect copyright.PENANAcDbPI12Lkq
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOQtycjndfg
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKLwZeAW4RX
424Please respect copyright.PENANAoX7330dTEq
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."424Please respect copyright.PENANAY84zDY3kCc
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmbydx2j5qr
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."424Please respect copyright.PENANA5sZAYbA1sw
424Please respect copyright.PENANAekEON2xoIr
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.424Please respect copyright.PENANAFkyKXvgyOZ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAocY9DX8Lsy
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.424Please respect copyright.PENANAVJP1VIpaE1
424Please respect copyright.PENANA4oNuxOUkEe
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."424Please respect copyright.PENANAC8sijNVZKi
424Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Vvfyke4u
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.424Please respect copyright.PENANAIHXGrvcwyj
424Please respect copyright.PENANApelBApuSEF
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAdCQGFLfz92
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmYQu48enuE
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."424Please respect copyright.PENANAwyEyQIIkMz
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxpNLfBipje
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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKk2kA0axTZ
424Please respect copyright.PENANA0tu0e0LBbG
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."424Please respect copyright.PENANAcmaRyKqLQb
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8VcYTYpBLd
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAAHPIeK60oQ
424Please respect copyright.PENANA43acECMODs
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."424Please respect copyright.PENANAAh6sNDYUS4
424Please respect copyright.PENANAHETLx9JnoM
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.424Please respect copyright.PENANAIW65zQp507
424Please respect copyright.PENANAsPTKsDRCTl
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAE8nK5OmknX
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8bPLAK0OFd
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAkjVLLQLG0o
424Please respect copyright.PENANAGmIn5WPoL5
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANASHzW0JmEBW
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8UuGFVQSi5
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.424Please respect copyright.PENANAXSvB7sKH4j
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZmtqlYT6nb
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.424Please respect copyright.PENANA4b02JDYYz0
424Please respect copyright.PENANArVK9PwSV2b
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANA7WDKPbqlCg
424Please respect copyright.PENANAbRk6G22D72
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAJkf69LwYxO
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwC0uF8HBWX
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAxhEAcKnPQW
424Please respect copyright.PENANAhL8NX3WC9j
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.424Please respect copyright.PENANAKmnOw2RE9U
424Please respect copyright.PENANA9WiOZDHQLN
"We lie as usual," I answered.424Please respect copyright.PENANAgnJGdKt5uT
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOSKcKsVTw9
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."424Please respect copyright.PENANAkpOW3w5Jv5
424Please respect copyright.PENANA6S22Qe9GUt
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.424Please respect copyright.PENANAMdA7mhIcX6
424Please respect copyright.PENANAny5RqYV58K
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANA7loGLBSUc4
424Please respect copyright.PENANAPiKXcP0m1O
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.424Please respect copyright.PENANApQmiOZVdam
424Please respect copyright.PENANACMdQxWRsXa
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.424Please respect copyright.PENANAVNZcR2LA44
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZH7u4K5Oyy
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."424Please respect copyright.PENANA9YA8NDp1hc
424Please respect copyright.PENANAqrksn5undm
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.424Please respect copyright.PENANA2nqLBUgsND
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXk4sUj5DOD
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAqKFBQWHcVI
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmqRARxqeyw
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAUPqZPLuIiP
424Please respect copyright.PENANAc3RxNAOAsJ
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAmOqe4GpbzW
424Please respect copyright.PENANAg57Ej3RTXl
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANA3j3fJcW3Tf
424Please respect copyright.PENANAqrkemZddaa
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAhcqSIlBepV
424Please respect copyright.PENANAFy3evBya7U
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."424Please respect copyright.PENANArlsiEjXzWk
424Please respect copyright.PENANAVs5cMVYudU
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"424Please respect copyright.PENANA0kMBnbnbc4
424Please respect copyright.PENANAiLhhnFhbCM
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKn5AhaoiGA
424Please respect copyright.PENANApwUWJrEP09
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAajwkfG1ZYK
424Please respect copyright.PENANAVX5O6C1gyq
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.424Please respect copyright.PENANAZs2p0zclxC
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8kgGHY6c24
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANA1bJh2gVgXu
424Please respect copyright.PENANALE0ikRe2DK
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAnMOm8fpt2d
424Please respect copyright.PENANAIguXTR3FS0
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAxdAom1zSGo
424Please respect copyright.PENANA6c9h2JvEWB
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."424Please respect copyright.PENANALIiSu3lN5Y
424Please respect copyright.PENANAhmNosgE2gh
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."424Please respect copyright.PENANAYQHcTN4FTh
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q7Tn1ZtPa
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.424Please respect copyright.PENANA2aCXgzBVb6
424Please respect copyright.PENANASzG4vTX1qJ
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAPVtpqW54by
424Please respect copyright.PENANA0ueBeRkGoO
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."424Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y1gXl5Upx
424Please respect copyright.PENANAhIuCOJ0ujG
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."424Please respect copyright.PENANABm4UYoTaGm
424Please respect copyright.PENANAAtobFyK7gO
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANA2nPWV2T2l5
424Please respect copyright.PENANA3nvFBoTNnE
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."424Please respect copyright.PENANA0ueTZ2iGQZ
424Please respect copyright.PENANA5PD47466xf
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.424Please respect copyright.PENANAQh2eZRoW5L
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7P9Vwd4WvR
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.424Please respect copyright.PENANAemrOGSM47I
424Please respect copyright.PENANAd7lyKuIG7F
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAeHnT0Hfy81
424Please respect copyright.PENANArylsP6jq4W
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."424Please respect copyright.PENANATlyfp5ElCf
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQhWd7YHRTG
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANALTiwGIiKjn
424Please respect copyright.PENANAMfvcXVXjiV
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.424Please respect copyright.PENANABaoBtpIOaJ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAn5nRMN7igp
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.424Please respect copyright.PENANANczPPX0OlK
424Please respect copyright.PENANAbwU6gJbTWH
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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAME1lZHmWW1
424Please respect copyright.PENANATO4lzDZHJK
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAMJHaZCjJ7S
424Please respect copyright.PENANANRMHjXgjWk
"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?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAsqR4U5XJll
424Please respect copyright.PENANAy7YLwrwiBB
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.424Please respect copyright.PENANAqM8rISH9Tj
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXlmCGnYEX3
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.424Please respect copyright.PENANAv6OjbFvA4O
424Please respect copyright.PENANAthZMMItxEO
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAru9Z1wanaT
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZnPbJD3D32
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA7e02mY0Gmp
424Please respect copyright.PENANAycsGOvGM2i
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.424Please respect copyright.PENANAHiywWJiXUA
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1rFL1EAvB
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.424Please respect copyright.PENANAfOSB9qHLWF
424Please respect copyright.PENANAjH6f6gU98a
"I agree," said Christine.424Please respect copyright.PENANA148mco8zYy
424Please respect copyright.PENANA78diMpxWaH
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."424Please respect copyright.PENANADusl6Fg79k
424Please respect copyright.PENANAvIKlAyyNxV
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."424Please respect copyright.PENANAoEuOrb70MY
424Please respect copyright.PENANAELWm8pgAd0
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."424Please respect copyright.PENANAT3mIrXnj9C
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZSJemffeQR
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."424Please respect copyright.PENANAvUId8dl1gP
424Please respect copyright.PENANAJfLkIclMGm
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKISJyOikME
424Please respect copyright.PENANAgYbotmtltf
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."424Please respect copyright.PENANANy22GlQZSS
424Please respect copyright.PENANA6psRPZwGpD
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAjzkoG59xUo

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.424Please respect copyright.PENANAg996WnWCQX
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwjMnN5Tc4H
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAESBcwXMk6c
424Please respect copyright.PENANANKzWgVDwab
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.424Please respect copyright.PENANAQA8AnO85vS
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOtRpRzmIeL
"Please do," said Zoey as she looked around. There were so many people, but so far, no one recognized them. "The last thing I need is a whole mob of fans chasing me down."424Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Aj3aKg5p
424Please respect copyright.PENANA2mfBYOrXqk
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAdsKMfTptYp
424Please respect copyright.PENANAYxDTTxkUaZ
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.424Please respect copyright.PENANAhHvz91BM8Y
424Please respect copyright.PENANA1RLMT6s097
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.424Please respect copyright.PENANAY6G9gtSAoA
424Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7b952Ipj
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA15Dyo1vGTO
424Please respect copyright.PENANAn5onNK8wkL
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAgKI44hUNhR
424Please respect copyright.PENANA3wTG3hi7uU
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAbMAj2veIBW
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8YZ0bSGQ7i
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA5htb3okwd4

"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAenyDBbmRWT

"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAytzwwOlbeG
424Please respect copyright.PENANAuWPEjPM95L
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAOUAwpy7Ccn
424Please respect copyright.PENANAC43A4tesRj
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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAldRb1tgsUx
424Please respect copyright.PENANAliz86dftjn
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."424Please respect copyright.PENANAYLWDFVET5a

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."424Please respect copyright.PENANAP2wDCTDnEY

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."424Please respect copyright.PENANAn32GNDNTAJ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzc1j2VYicu
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."424Please respect copyright.PENANAXHj0aDb86n
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdvTaY4qWiF
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.424Please respect copyright.PENANAsDXGzeS4DL
424Please respect copyright.PENANAnmAzeMspXv
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."424Please respect copyright.PENANAkIjUJqBEAP
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXAC7hg7uiQ
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAMIA5iHB21D
424Please respect copyright.PENANAwNrnntVV8P
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.424Please respect copyright.PENANAv1odFJHC8L
424Please respect copyright.PENANATGj4ipQINE
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."424Please respect copyright.PENANAycVrugMHPA
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXnJSOeDxDy
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA8s7MT0Kp55

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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAKmIlWp1eRU
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdmGmelinTw
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.424Please respect copyright.PENANA1xGTGeTlNS
424Please respect copyright.PENANAW5LaJavsje
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."424Please respect copyright.PENANARA0Yvkfvor
424Please respect copyright.PENANAnMoXd4zSIB
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAiL631qfDKN
424Please respect copyright.PENANAWP2jgcgoNj
"How do I look?" he asked me.424Please respect copyright.PENANAlgjjmvRqxA
424Please respect copyright.PENANAA741LN9w1n
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."424Please respect copyright.PENANApCXwE7ZSgw
424Please respect copyright.PENANACIqjsFu6fk
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAY64v4UUUz4
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZfFTTkqCDM
"What about me?" Jimin asked.424Please respect copyright.PENANAKDN9v3Vyll
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXXYIf5flGA
"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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAUytOWMw7Q0
424Please respect copyright.PENANAkJlBjX3lFU
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAjMBshSDTfE
424Please respect copyright.PENANAzcfF9td8Sg
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."424Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4ZdaiUCK
424Please respect copyright.PENANAFDVVWNKvWV
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAhhCXeFTS5M

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."424Please respect copyright.PENANAg0E15sNHeX
424Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Ce2Z8qTl
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"424Please respect copyright.PENANAQCUb4EITK7
424Please respect copyright.PENANAjsliiRKD1y
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed424Please respect copyright.PENANA8q6jeEKMgl
424Please respect copyright.PENANAI4xZg5hure
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANARfyWxHkXJm
424Please respect copyright.PENANARmyc06O45o
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.424Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q8IT1OcDv
424Please respect copyright.PENANAkObf80a0H4
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.424Please respect copyright.PENANAYi1ysrdizt
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZfHoV2qZsS
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAkJq0k1RLMk
424Please respect copyright.PENANAVqTE9GPOFA
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAUXXndjs6Be
424Please respect copyright.PENANA4gyLcAybN3
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANA3LDFHCLv5f
424Please respect copyright.PENANADdCPLP2CFN
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.424Please respect copyright.PENANAEN3Ar1bFFY
424Please respect copyright.PENANAc98rNlyg81
"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."424Please respect copyright.PENANAKlDGfq4Z8U
424Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ2wnopq5Y
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.424Please respect copyright.PENANAeFEl266GAa
424Please respect copyright.PENANAEEFhE2QxeW
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANArUCg31n73G
424Please respect copyright.PENANAQp2NdMOu6h
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.424Please respect copyright.PENANAzkJWXKIV4Z
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeeAFMye5Jl
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAo5Yg0DoiTJ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAkyAjdvuc57
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.424Please respect copyright.PENANAxQ1UOX53Wt
424Please respect copyright.PENANAe7HUQbPAPc
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
