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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTLbRrRMOx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYJorMrgnB
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJlHENVzkp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquK2P9QXam
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVmVUsCDPp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1QR8abjgH
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLbbAv87I6
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Fotnb432
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbabmfiRgby
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFXiSGdff
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWDTRF46wP
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4StuIkjWPo
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nRRofrGuO
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EDNZNDerE
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJqHSvA6vi
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29v5f8oSeY
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ex0FcUezr
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVKR8SfM9
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsTlaW4YQm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24SSYG07Un
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfqctQcRzo
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XodibMYe4
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk3oeikEcZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIcMAAG0q
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqJWFanaog
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdowpFfY1bs
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zjUwH2X2O
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wCHQAXNIW
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pfm9rLHU5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda0WMLQHC1
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu58cCQeyCE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ3pjaDhQZ
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WZ2q6RrU1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKI5iPi6Bm
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxQ2iZOoi9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh6Aez82kM
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqbvpb8nll
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S9KWJZCX9
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrndwWmk7HN
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwMqQCLFeN
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtMKRgYYj
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzdfhE3CIH
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwi6dA79l
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzPD4Mr5R4
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlDr5gHdpK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0X9HJkM2u
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF0FgSTg7C
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO3uhO2716
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRSXMhOwhn
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4lUPQmGKu
"No, tell me. What's going on?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9N0ltIXqV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7DSYEi53M
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgcYzEsl6M
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eG4k0JmP7
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYfiBUqX0r
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjVqwGhIGp
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuANGhExGZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ1fyawCtR
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi03Ii36lvE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P2g7abuOe
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9HxrY1Avx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBBXrsWUtt
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAozhBoy6u
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEIBvMAGs
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HjX8raGPC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL0e21PXrU
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcDVIWS1Z0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9f4JfSWF
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEFWcrChRj
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRb1A99TjL
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU6IcR6lqX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgbKOzwuYh
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ou7XtdYTo
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgPHdzRmYZ
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4dy97IgPx
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcipwHVKf9
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaLTsBrN8P
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9FoTrHgR9
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvKT1USILz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjeYXjxdmj
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO2ObcB1jW
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeZfqD658o
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYuspTMiML
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhTnWBJbHh
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5ybtpeCz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5zl5dR409
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rDXfO2lS9
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePjlvle0RA
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AwCrOFPuP
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3Qbmjgx9
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0RzhiEg65
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoqTKZRqUx
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR9e2W9BVQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZkDnsPLxW
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDm70u7aCT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCN2zyYWa
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKIG2jT7pb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTzEYBaCHK
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zOyygiTeZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzExGJaUOV
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmdkrmWs1I
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5qOdJ3CsM
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP8lPL05Bl
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrksfv1Zxp
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eagmlyb37
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjqEfxtTNx
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmvoKgIWI4
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OxHDVUzFr
"We lie as usual," I answered.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjSBE7TR5G
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo52whmfuB
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIizEIVEZP1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2H2PvaLNz
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmAdRlTnpD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Joal8ekw
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthEo6LYU1
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDKwC4TAXe
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcsMFWBWSk
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPKdkUi9d
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTsXwH9ptc
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNWxTBwWW0
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2uggboFus
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdYpC8lvdt
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Q64y2uqa
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61tVNazh6w
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBn9afobOK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZMq01fND
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K7Yqf0d9G
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtTKU6FTmb
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoA17Oqgg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9PhlW1xrp
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5q3ozt7x
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡredz4YZyYN
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLlKKuFUY
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9skzEu0H7t
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh2NP9HLdC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTRiQH9UL
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5ocmZjoLG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Srw9VkmGN
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx85PUV7qXL
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwkPpwJNvK
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqfd2caZ1N
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2dVYd6rzL
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNlO0XoIV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i3eNPPoQ8
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOo6qB0Lb8
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMyTGyOaOU
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm2g0z9DIw
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjDIc5xi1
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV54Vzv664
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGehs1hvUo
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxF5mFXWMp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpXJAXdPa
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAh5UWWv2P
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDNhtxAyWP
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAyBaavbJy
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLhDhEZvtw
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPMNo95HXz
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibHDhphpLb
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ0gMX6ONg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgYIk656uj
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLA02euPZl
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRQaDTlodu
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4c8iwsbBb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLQcpyJaHH
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJolDYCeaV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtM9Tpygj6
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqZV8Ri1GG
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsEtRuG6ov
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsS1zEpo5c
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpclXsaho8r
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbeNhC4l90
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz108uLM175
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vEuARhGtT
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNCS5UfaUa
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0azZyiJRX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgdmbzjBKm
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHjN8QZrJs
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4G9yIsl7E
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzsj3FLELE
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNyJbnIfzf
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOfZHSu5f
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rrvkF5RmZ
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhBqamUVLa
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAgcNxCyxN
"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?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zExAkCFB
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnOQwr7NIz
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bctWyZ1p0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX7Gb6DerJ
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz1aLywMLj
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ5o6PYtoL
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJGDTegLX
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJnrhfbFYL
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Slx6kP3NK
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHAXpfCwBQ
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmgtxLElHd
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp34oAtLv7
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrIWOcRc06
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU2V6VchjQ
"I agree," said Christine.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0BucZ6tl

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLOPUyyBgH
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfFBqpJEmK
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eRT1zTLHJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPauwwn9hx
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGF2tmp3K
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK6H1B9MNv
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HceZKlvPG

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi21yyPxbUg
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQW4ncpLts
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OKGjDuugz

313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02liqTMAVE
"Please do," said Zoey as she looked around. There were so many people, but so far, no one recognized them. "The last thing I need is a whole mob of fans chasing me down."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZsQBs0yW7
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkqkVfQod
With so many stores around, it wasn't difficult for Mino to find a mask and sunglasses. Lucky enough, the man he bought them from didn't seem to recognize them, which was even better.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nVZrZqXXb

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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGRfYMFuOZ

"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7bKUmf4R0
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewN2QhiQpT
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLCcyQ6TAp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1UBfCcjU
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLqJyy4PoK

"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFin7k4sL90
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR0JAVRjpk
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnNyE1Bwgb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCYSb7nftu
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn13cWi4ne
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJtzFKzda7
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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhpeButJGo
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t5qc0JqwE
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nggSdddxQ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNHJtLICQ7
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2DTLV9pWn

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEkI5mJeSG

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxesDoAuT5f
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzQtYjfO6Z
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyc9306I2E
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma7R3yanjs
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzktPrc4qnM
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGajpRQdsFY
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPACY3e697
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d8CTqoAt1
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSVZgadtAm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP97zYy0ubQ
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqWKZ91mC6
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Oshjxa0v
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAmEUdVVIH

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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3TGuD4tBp
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GpK4qkKyY
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqc5FKiNAD
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0liWS5Bw0
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsJVDMbIy
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQLV4sJYPP
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZPVGPcsrb
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2E2AgN7wl
"How do I look?" he asked me.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ42rYo447
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfzdI7128j
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoutj3VK1b
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAk6OlrQTZ
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uCEuNJc5I
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGdy1mSqF0
"What about me?" Jimin asked.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VtTteLgy3
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLggWk4G8lw
"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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcXuGKpACm
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHd6g38pSc
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV928HY0i8p
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARJkE1VGG4
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytWygHD7yV
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogiEoFOxaO
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkMQDFfHLo

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0bkwbwZLH
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewdOscWSwa
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj8sdH84RJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cBOd0Nqe0
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdHiRMcJO
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirkcxDL4EJ
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoG4XOKDK5
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG5Zupt2I
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GbYeRTT6U
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Njloq9S8
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSJ8lOhl8p
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcYSWs4U8C
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXnfOxuerZ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp0ZE9uWQp
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmghgCCmsci
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf0ICWIKSf
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQW4fE1fHC
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDuUGDs1wm
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHsrSBBvMH
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEpoLanKaL
"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."313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeebx1yJAJ
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXuDg65nD
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJO3jhInEk
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX340TbRl3
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgwdzoNbu4
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBcJkNv7i6
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoU1twpU6i
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ET6T6Qk4x
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.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth481fwi7Z
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hHP0winZc
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lq9gY3qBc
313Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybIDKPl1l4
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
