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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZZPH6alrv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw46qDizuk
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yruwn6Z5o
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIirRGk0rP
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwD9cleAKV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsKv89zRZ1
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFSBqNMlha
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNgoB8lp0d
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2hp5D9ty9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeHZBLnpt0
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydYRFiBK8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0X9W5kzPk
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGp4mrdG4J
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rHaACI2AP
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeEy1drko6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkLgSzeY05
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvtvNIqPvn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8SVRsxpz
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHS5PBLdgz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE57gfZP95l
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH9b5XK23t
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LsSwIBcYy
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkn0TidW68
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmdIIOBLN8
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAyxehkm7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFfz7KHJTk
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn9zLTemSl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt5J9kmwZm
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWtxXM33tp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7mx7Dxz6f
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcH0svlvxc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ZX0of2Vv
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYwGehUCI4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQHAPXGkRH
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISzGulaEUW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4veCvqEm54
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlAc1Fkh9n
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PI9Wex8jd
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj33JTxrif
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPe1Xe7Yb
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf74E1cQHQ1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXe2rqO2C1
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFse09Jg2xs
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtMjMgJWWe
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOB1ao2Mci
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCon5QWLFnE
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixfoWdQ05K
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNQoe6gWa
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFXcvZBRIP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mOt0Sqi7O
"No, tell me. What's going on?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWvhtNr2ff
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7WSbmm1yH
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdO7ciuiAs
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi6gnqGiTz
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtO1ETYW8z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfSAP7fbqg
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmsVz7l2ie
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbHEN0Mkxh
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKee82Yq0p9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlveEADf4k
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGQ3Qimxmr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqsMMPyzDh
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06pGoNo6GI
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoITvM1jzQR
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2BIGSuPlM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQPQWjKCug
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLojbFWc3E
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAPfn0I6Iq
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe2RSj2Lsj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKAKTexzb
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hD50VCbIj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AUEkAikmN
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP1Gf7Q20y
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuftBEAYVl
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o5foK6stn
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMB9dTklJp
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv8nvN4yJC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimNOkR5EmG
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvFkE1Oxxk
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARC6GxZzP
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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcTKqoeRup
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFXXnkM0e
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL5GLdDLiK
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0zqPqLWMw
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96LefrwEmD
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQmKyWtNpv
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IPatZz9IE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyduV7H4lRd
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0x1HxyQDj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsokf8MAH5f
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mI2mtz4f
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJRScxGoNG
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ZL8L7I91
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bUI5TKAvj
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zvXjGkqMB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNC2iVVb3r
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MEom446Q3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW2g0rZiGt
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvhzjAyLbi
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7PhemrIYg
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQrbGmPgS9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP0OWhhbaa
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6SBr4mMDq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjOaqoaMMr
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rMkfmkcU4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf0wsFv48x
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUdjrGlSLr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ecT20eq8
"We lie as usual," I answered.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPwbUaWvzs
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwH9OgFPAt
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJLoN3TeS1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdPYZ1aIQp
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k24IH7b2x
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS4HCgsN3M
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3G2kYOKF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ86EoIuoW
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExYeKmPG30
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lsg9VBprU
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC1Z6hAb0r
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZoI8tSV40
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C3fEsWey3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkwBViHgyi
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDiAJiCvM4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdFbebqfBd
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTInIR1CTp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVVhL5yEsF
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmzAZRZMee
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc2FQilUzD
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9aMQ3sA6t
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCwoDpReR
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo4lRNDPF4
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEocC3OtBlz
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV7QYT4Jpe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPV0Z7oQv5
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2twZRJomCp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyNVeZJPsJ
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT49dc0mVyW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQDTSbiZoz
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZIZZhhQSS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxH3flijQY
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2snBPqvnP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UEidSDfLw
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJ3bClrC0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVDpA052J4
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL51my6Qyh
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eyJSOKwNQ
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdQok6iEuE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJz3j54a5
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cQjX7moWg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsrmo4iJMo
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Jzy74tcd
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡase5ftXhRe
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqF27Iehg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LQYpsmStj
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFxz6gNZvQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WtGt2hmSa
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZU6AsQDn6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY9TNFUekG
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkPPsWwNRN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7TAeBhusE
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2V72m3hT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBecwhHo3Rt
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTLLewjtSC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2S9kDXK9t
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LpUMpaUWz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttiFJ23EgL
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvK4acoiwN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWGUrTB9EN
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zeMb4OZqG
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU9RRygb5j
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XdX8lBwVr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD4uvX1Yr4
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5fYB6Vmj2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmct1eXw8WX
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr2cZvTopM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZjLxkInpg
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlA7vUdRg8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcTXR4c7h5
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7xoZWzpld
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn5ITBXmlQ
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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkLUysmnIZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtZqseYfdO
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKw9chM2g
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMntztCi9cU
"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?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYr1jzThEU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA157Rut1f3
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhqHTIgARs
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyANx3GVdD
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m8xuQWcA3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkyBcrBfi7
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq3JrPUrub
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaMO4e4vAg
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb9NDzFcvQ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHGykZIzT7
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBP0uJGSOZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDBH2DlBAf
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTk5rj2c9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKOP3Ku4eY
"I agree," said Christine.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnsoMEDsly

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCUojWTkJf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p03jbejg7
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzOc3imGvV
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMl3w2SYLj
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVIM8srApS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkbs7oYc3T
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGsJ5nQ4Mi

346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf9H4KtLMw
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5UWhvlYK

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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2FlnYYyFf

"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNDns3etmc
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhAWAJWwdz
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG2Ol4zmKg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxIaqBQ3I
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSSFG6Upt2

"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJvGm4o4W2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJSFePJH6J
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfM80Krqzw
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qerZ8pDoD
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXaeURSXtU
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dxQ2680N2
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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkkvtypmIY
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXIbaFc4ec
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FanjxaP1h
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYJjsvZlKQ
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8emyIUpTA
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL3KMunIgV
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfi7G3Uepc

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXWMtW2ohJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs38JeBfq9H
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8kdylAvHH
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAaz4sXyQ9
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeS6PuK0UF
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHcO58OQyd
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3EPYcT2C
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXGcsDXKN
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJgLM7T3A0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp8EPGJJDE
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNRn57sWGb
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0IAiFvlxI
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBdE4CdnYe

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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7IaWiDEkx
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLADRM5Pu01
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw98odf4nTe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6cu9kd7w
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHghUtsNr68
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRtAMOUcH
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneO53VrxE9
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilKTM9XpuU
"How do I look?" he asked me.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclqLJTZqzM
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoDsqyuVdh
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy8dsu9MdL
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAVw4tD5zp
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1E0SzIJib
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SLV3csTxU
"What about me?" Jimin asked.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFVNEGM6N7
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlaPEmB7sy
"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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVueAlI99z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5Mdm2dvG
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoMNwoSiXB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbjU57cI8z
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB34IjApGg

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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3tDx3cEBa

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMRHc372Rg
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg67QkINDvv
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXHdsdfYtJ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFid5ZwLkL
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa5HlfZVXP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi2lkspNxa
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF66cRvRTP
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6RCd5CjHz
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xOfIF0NX0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ1UCdbzi7
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVj6EcaHDC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvr91RAuv
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXUCmUAc9Z
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShpQ6UfDd3
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2miyTv3U1o
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MCbrMKlkC
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqJs5yyjhr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESp5vFVytF
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNlDo6h202
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ415ipDQngC
"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."346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCoVkW059
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv3UN2KNLE
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqV9acUaWR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbxK2Vzff9
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEYb8zOQU6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h9Vip33M1
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8bg4diX1w
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyNfD47k2f
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.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPEqI1rR9m
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOnqbf8JRe
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNx6ZHFg2Mz
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQf3QH7Zi
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
