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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhYC2yiJ47
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSETCHRRWXP
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9uSyW6wsz
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyS6evivTV
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8oLweTJ8f
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnXEDy2TI3
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcgqYXZY5B
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaL7yosnm
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GH8tufpPj
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeR756ftte
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCoFnGB7AK
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFh9fUu8ff
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV37iBokBB
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeFMEHTtpr
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4VTwTLUV
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUbiV2Eqj8
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeNZzg30Ui
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpcODtuijI
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnZB2ggMZF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxHRIwJznv
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJEGOvsGnB
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouSTrGHoRt
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlIINSQckk
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVf8oXv4J2
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sTIoqsKZi
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2T7GsS8gQ
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPVxtztWZX
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQMooftwcl
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYIfS5LPA6
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYhQ0Y8td
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOKvdDtktP
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaUq2v0GfN
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSroym1JXIU
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRWXv8Zj1b
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2s0lCaKbN
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7qp7zGM9
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOiHfgPlj
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAufiCEa02
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVPrZhsaUC
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUi29p9cdi
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1GGr118h
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X3z9BvZ9C
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSGzD0TKZk
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEES3APIjAe
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHQpZZubjm
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmCMM1cXG
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lVAbr5mSZ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoXJjaAmh3
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLwoXqNXaq
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTDwvniuMl
"No, tell me. What's going on?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV13rLse4X3
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uXzDjwK4W
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMALbxSDpXz
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEJSvKgpHT
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QhV6tHjAL
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzCl43nrBL
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkq2DXsBn
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yqNwarDOI
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13S2TIef81
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkarJ8vqT4
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81kgq57acu
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOWMgMDrao
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTneeHVcGh3
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySSLgXPQcY
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0diR6UEf
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWwjASov4g
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON6YMwPQhj
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hc48SL0P1
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLTnKapgw
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyVeD7n88C
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEghjC3UUoi
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHKLgT3nN8
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDtVp1XJP8
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkDXk2KG3K
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO4vi00Nlz
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4civRWtfrf
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7RuHltHsK
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3G3ZIVQVe
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXIlQVjTup
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaURHBUXkKx
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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbD2dj8dU
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScky76dlr7
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe5NDP2glI
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzd8teaVrb
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aGedUBrQ0
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hs5iCI60z
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjiJzQmVYp
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lSha6oGnu
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniiFSaBPx9
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1SkYJysP
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNrN1MmUyC
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIlgpWrAVI
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJbkfjnqiZ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPrMYfTpjP
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEob5JgJs0y
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nwt2xjth1
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eNwVah6EP
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7oc6GiMaF
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3DQ2pK20
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWRlJkGRnj
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Hu32qm6l
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbOc46Gmbg
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NtPKlraqC
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH8XUieXyS
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZmVL9iT08
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqjh1USeBL
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AipeHZusc
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBOirSYim5
"We lie as usual," I answered.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGvRpXNXF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycku4FZZfk
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU66DF2KdZ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKjOOphDo
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusQ42LlexH
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdumUPblDLR
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xP9XAlD3n
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRB2lWaxU1
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8gd5UYtsq
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHepYekV9Ey
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG11SSgi1K
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTpQosX0th
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4aGxqM8fn
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBgvOiy4VZ
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93RP3NKQe6
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX73R61sov
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8v0Y1AaDI
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI3PiAOhwy
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNthqa75Cb5
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfP9JiSzN6
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo2wqnVkV3
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uswbTIa6t
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCDyAYM5hT
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9dYxM2E1l
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXXXztx2tZ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr0EUV4IBB
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZeaUVC5gX
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KbEeOA750
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF2p0KLtmn
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fYYR2Qxmx
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDu8Bb964
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvSI3ae51v
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoB8cRQNg7
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGkmC434XL
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCm2ngWurK
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSXkbMLPQk
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZFmODCUL3
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KAyT0vpQ0
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAvyYPZUgl
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy8jNCXKUp
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y542ZuuY8
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHunBO9t03
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9XcgEov7q
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsAlA7YFQF
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16bTHnsP94
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1SqNcs1qj
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOXgXUNrlM
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMr3rRloSd
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfQIzBHXCm
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7pRERwd8
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpiNXDiQZQ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDRhTBB0r
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmKkF3MoHU
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc49qNiru3b
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIjIQeKTv0
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9cRgiB3V
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkOswD0O8T
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZMb88FAe
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwFZ5MWp2
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemxKV6zCWV
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4EVIddhWx
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfma6FFsMf6
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi5M6nIcLH
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5QbbCnu1V
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd12VKefd25
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxsoRrDwx9
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1iLElEmOE
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EYDsKLZzk
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQXCdTXECr
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqmCyi6x4Q
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdlaZQe0jB
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgXg0XhLMd
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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOLfgaCajN
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FBGKaVtQa
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF85Bmauoi
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSKzHXrcJc
"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?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y55Ph5Oue
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUkuqYHTXR
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYptcX23w5r
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZXr53J71
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFFWKnfok
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEm5dpigUQ
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJQpXHXmd
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEzceEw2XJ
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWKbQl8nCa
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zu5JyIUrN
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIQmlTEfPF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pe8o6jAwC
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFoEbWoztD

"I agree," said Christine.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9aPubZ5K

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqJo7OnzNt
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisCPCwIYQf
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhfBADiQIO
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQPgmiz34V
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrk1o7A52G
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeDkIyQQBf
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ZPSDFP7A

462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2MYCDqugG
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL1qeQ0b5h

462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKisODLUX8
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciXlxzY1i8

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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzoSQ5Uixa

"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo1s2tcQZs
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ3cxXp4dq
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq6RpV6jpU
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8uPBdwcXh
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL3oMS13Qn

"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQfRDStUhh
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHrVwV7X4m
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ147Qvw2QX
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAmxDt8m5R
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirp0hTfP8Z
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TJdYCA6ZW
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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu1VclgeMw
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5E8RLAax2
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzEqZw0o1S
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NxKl7SXy
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdnz5hCzkd
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYisvaPbJVP
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE2pgX5rHW

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTMNZAkBOV
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMHr9Xpq2
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkBP9qVOA8
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfDCswqAVL
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq88WZ4ts7Y
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykAYd7CqcE
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylKmt557vF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQu2wIt6qG
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaooq1H3iX
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjrf4KITh4
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHXB1tDGmr
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNUyztOtI3
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCsViwKWgy

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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVB7WnvTB7
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTkk7bLw4I
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54zj9ZOzFv
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRIsacbGVV
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB6sIZpCjF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGHy18ZVCp
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4pg4KxT8q
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaTLh5X1VF
"How do I look?" he asked me.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKuYBYkHz
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qhJzgBhWk
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27g8rGErSg
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD41kEaYYmc
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8R7iT2L9m
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0dYw8Xuc
"What about me?" Jimin asked.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQXVo3WaKZ
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q7UKwhWg8
"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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEJFPGGQVq
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zJvhnZFb4
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNOG80Pj82
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SF0fCMpIz
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ZMhDSxYB
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwrofBpdKS
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ki7T4IFJZ

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN2hXk2ikv
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lw6iQwRq3
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI3t4sttWv
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6iGdNDDJm
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sWh8JC8ay
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOZAuAcmve
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7E6n4G8XH
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODlVIkn4Ex
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGNIRP92KF
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikJzHA5Kd6
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy9UGI1JyH
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi2Yb3aTMU
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo6XrKQD5R
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMyUClu3om
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEcHJRIM4A
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5GSwmWlTI
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEEdG7IAEG
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlC2HdczsR
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOFtlx3Ku
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVV2HMptSb
"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."462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F3q4zs0fS
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRwHf9mC1H
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9wVEU3uno
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtjTTxTT6y
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6B23Ugq9Q
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHL6qGAAb
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKuhYwftEM
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UXwOSrQBn
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.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGIw0WdGE
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xVKN6IkHN
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzdHLafTrN
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0edCLWORS
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
