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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDuuL1PJW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh2rma5SsY
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X3z0NagFB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprWdG1NCUW
"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZiVjR5EdC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwI4p9Ieq
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGLSjtifq9
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf4YQjKaUP
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0K8p2oHHK
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41NrAhWuJM
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD6bqUWltk
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQV3bobZMt
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCfwLkHEiS
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3oaRLZBuW
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHolcriCdbN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOihjRk970
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCRnxedjc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKtLB3ZT59
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQsu26bZLT
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ycb5fKD6
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbZsejbUpA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73U7WGg41k
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8hT3yRoDF
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s8XMzgpVh
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dHD9cx4dW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb8TPhrhqD
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9DseuQyWc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeVqs0Jt3j
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx32IWJmsM
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8WbLNleRF
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6JCNSKtRD
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAL75Nv2qc
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv86lwluqBW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPMQhe4Cn6
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G7hdCCZ72
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi78m2TrjtY
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobbppW84Pi
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQHQKmXSbN
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfrKokxfKD
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM9K7YzBoB
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Ae8Z81A0
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBagrFUOd4B
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCzzR7zDKz
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zTl2OFKY
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81wU56JrMe
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyL5gZAoU7
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjG2WZgWma
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuFqR8AbAo
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKBzVrOMai

"No, tell me. What's going on?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KRkKW0p5d
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUKsR3nwnc
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIfArex10o
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC19bnbNgb
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq49qK4JWWW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOhnYNEMvY
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIXrVYVDqD
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPCeq1lyod
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLqHBDU2k3
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhtHCcuHUr
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9f96CNfEp
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYclT7JtLB
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoriy3S5ge
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhdm0GNia2
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAoVMG28gn
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseMV9vmaFB
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5xo4I3R2
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJZk3KHIgg
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UX9X1aCDl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82F4JW5Q7P
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV2Lfwkrz8
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlI9hRflDF
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFy3jYRWUa
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqi5whm97D
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOoKMDPibh
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWOFsQkNU6
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9weAux3sdC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkOWNzq4Ga
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeExf8DjVW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7H1A55pSV
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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQMzULFzJI
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02fuHXTn5a
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpAKcCjx6U
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7650HfdwXd
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd30ZT3uLk
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yUBPq1q5q
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxpZMSpSTi
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQumZCue9p
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIn22Tsmsq
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2xtilMpyH
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn5ZOlYu8X
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsleTzhFube
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VwWrlk65K
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNq1CrgS4
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyOMOwT6xK
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU9n1vHHQT
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXykswcnIa9
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHS3GVLjoj
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf9WTqKkKh
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbxNK5lYt1
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYo0xAtzG4
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgXQz7EUWH
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1iJQfuB2Q
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhU42V8sM8
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR8LpDIQNf
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCHplciwN
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL2PBerF5E
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ985tClhwr
"We lie as usual," I answered.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5uXmKaaJV
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY25oqEFsBm
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5fbwF9APr
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsbRlkyUX9
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYD4UqKX46
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQx0SGbADo
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HrorKhl0q
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSJWJArTq2
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw5l5jjMqx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oqc1kj00Y
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKPh2zzdO3
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S9fYiCowK
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHvGfav4E6
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKo716Lg2A
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4vTWNo4SU
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkSXCAs5t
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgyh1tLfaL
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycxOxTREIK
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSwPzq28j
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Saegu5ch
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kzceqZTzZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty0YhzChrC
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ3fzpJs9M
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarPUWjiW0H
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar250G1Olt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreNcgp6qn3
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJnlv2S6b
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbJCuBcc5t
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnAQU8mxHt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2nAqTKtq
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BaSrAvnz4
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNm2BUUe7
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWHXMvxrhn
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H3RHbcJRM
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWt9GTBQ5W
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSLUzlKc5
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ094lk3E2
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhr46tJrKL
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp1gDGUz2g
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43cqRhWmQf
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07E1kXVgB5
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHoGKDrw4d
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MqyzxWXXu
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdkcOX6PaF
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWk4sbZIWC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyYXmAld8r
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy0iRSKkQo
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRpKW9mKl8
"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TOFfn5vwz
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUS2BFEBUJ
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5mDw938yi
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaQHvJRSTR
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPfcR162bg
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LgjipOs0P
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbvFPCRKtx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiyMwlpxNt
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1gQMm7Ckx
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl5fGFSBBL
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9zKVD5vpF
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knO6IQKJZ
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFxqUhdxTo
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiJ3pqLDmS
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0XqKArm6
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oJx3ctWn1
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtyVbsxXG
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjeIYjV4f0
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw4gwNjVHA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Oh1vHi2t
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisw4KsFyyN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJitdIXTL
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklevzeugwG
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tbKYwB6uT
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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy41IP0Yr3g
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH8A8CEpCO
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb3rLz50Yb
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7yR9SK7NT
"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?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8CwlRxnSZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoMSJ3GYBt
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdxQsdQ0zV
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0DnwVmar
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUGMugagk
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XydyyKJuq
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqosV8q6Zab
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjarbkwCls
"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnKW3rkKJ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5As7DfqZ2Y
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLUU5NU67y
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe779uuv7z
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht5gaezzVm

"I agree," said Christine.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3kJ93ooVk

"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qy8gHZu6m
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHwbdEnvib

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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtCXczYlV

"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauTNeBsoOt

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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ090UFhgTWs

"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHwKSkd2FJ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWhJWYtxD0
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GL2FXUe61
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAItNcyf7o
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRhPi7FT6Z

"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6ypkR3PEG

"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6e0VuxswL

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErL9DtVyID
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WySnCrK5h
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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8onRIffMa
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm64dswJ2k7
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba0G5wSZin

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdBJhbIiUg

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tr1b3pK1
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7E9gn0ZUJ
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj8xL0BipX
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDQOIh5zro
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XzJjNHb6

"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMmx0WC2cD
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hx8hJ5t6s
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd8fkb8oc6

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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2ehzqP8gA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK2yebRyyz
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbGcjhxth
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcILulW0y6
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIAXJqAIwf
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10N3fEpFE1
"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHpSXfUAqc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjMO6ZRmgc
"How do I look?" he asked me.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVY3gTRjQv
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacJ5xyd7MU
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzFzygJ0Ke
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBYTbWwJjp
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkSh50vxB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nSzeqBQX3
"What about me?" Jimin asked.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5PmnDRezy
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEhjoN7Ac3
"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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8kCUPeiJE
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CL8lghGIg
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX6WS2U2P7
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbq2dSWLe4
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse8bKP7sLA

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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq2P182kSb

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRNU01191W
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNUNPtXuJ3
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz0XYmMB8W
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5mTa6IZwu
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS0j0ds92T
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU2lULcUJ3
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbsvSrvRc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwa32ujE89
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM9Z5Wu8Kk
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOZe3nc87c
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIS9l6VAGO
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfWEz2kYLx
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ZTjSZTWi
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFgEqIbJj7
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33eFInPV6X
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQbyvDN5Kb
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1FqfYawm2
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpIoP1l9vk
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNi3DxzWYB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFSfgv7bQ1
"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."273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QlHEL2v3q
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYA6xfh4RE
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzAIHh46X
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5v0GcxPXs
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPbhQABdw
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dse6S1Wwu
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY30LNqcy5
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkrOy8qaos
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.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv50QW49sUn
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRLw4MVSv
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCytXciUeX

We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
