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

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

"I agree," said Christine.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ148mco8zYy

"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

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mfBYOrXqk

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

"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
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2WrOJxMGH
"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
424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvScrGO0jq
"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

"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.
