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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkx5AcozWD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSFNwrII4N
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFEk0LaKGq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSe97vHzau
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfvvUs6nwq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DD7XPIM5
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL52xea7ug
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBmojxUpYz
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXVEKRxUo
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJZtgZXfYw
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXkaH3uGOc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELo27tOVhd
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJteO2rGRE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGkSWRFS9U
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlxFMBYHhG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnf96HG8pQ
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqVLAWc4ef
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVVdMcuRBC
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCGczgVn5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwdh6YKAjY
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhtncVsp86
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaeStF5yb9
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuntqjhp2U
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngr4AEhwbO
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFfzlLNf3v
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWyMVmRO39
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGimaV44l7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFOz6jbXZK
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUOPaFNJHr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYE8UqCNtF
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHzmx6qBK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwtoATKZYC
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV72bdSaOZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Zxw1kbEk
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvfacLbX6D
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqpBnn9uWW
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iI3f0ranW
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yllp8tUgI
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX8yGks4ZD
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsfLStXhQi
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEK3Smn3H9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQudn9FnEZe
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDLAFaBGvY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwggHbHsqbn
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfziuLflimt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcEe9yvFdC
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzD5yO70De

"Oh, nothing. It's silly."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2levvExRS

"No, tell me. What's going on?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeK0jB6PNx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyXZkSBSFj
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsxnHHKAkO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdAJgPsc5V
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bDTSa8KPv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuegSbLbMZc
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4vKDOMV3y
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUkut35ekt
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA65Ql12yp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyDtV2fFru
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReRKJgW8WE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukPi1M6rGs
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGxFoFob2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRCnQ70kwk
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaimULxogP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7UgJVbvNc
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3X2pz4m71
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQYgWNCZPr
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xfivpbKl4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr9CpfU5yD
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SYLGi9THX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8VwV3hWI
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiWnwo2Zok
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCngTOTwX5
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPYAWQQuj5
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4rajah9sE
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKflBlS5a
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiOAjql3uB
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXTz15HRh
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxY80WqjT
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUZVBl0wKv
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwBNWB4XG3
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMS6iJvz2q
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjJv6IkmhK
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7fT2xbLnL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQA8rP9FO5
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYXSyKjwU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nJG10bEJ3
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR86Nf8odC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm55IUHmMSM
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12ukMRznzP
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIryY4z7Hmp
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuMvXUQoGL
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE3Y7Gan8t
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6sm1ZBqKj
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHw4JLVORi
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3YLSVZwG8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lUTr3Nydt
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMdmucQbhb
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bqTTaDGpO
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPvooatoYJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwN2ZZ3sVw
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jr35mbxl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dw45hpv1Y
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUql7NxIWw
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT2Ch76sVY
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OInTEWMn1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihKwHAdnES
"We lie as usual," I answered.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjbg5KXKog
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYHQ6A04O9
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qnj8wbtW6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAB2zpTs2
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Bj0z19Z2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRFNhz8W6j
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zqqiZy2Th
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtn3VrqUvc
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGk6sNo4Kg
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zhr6wMpoE
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8obmSq9F9p
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm25hrHpV8a
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ON4yp6HT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLx3bXyEIc
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucgf7AjvVp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mbcl9Hh2r
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjoPFji6mG
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0t4OqMym
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKMAI22Bd8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlcOgdUIE
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41KKRUbA4g
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIdvh8n8wV
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ngxm8eThk
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhtN2LkAcC
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG8rjxZplK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0ynZ8BCfV
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNEgOx6K8w
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8JwCXVtDG
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqpz6KeEB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50d06Alwp8
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfGfiYxjy
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyU2QEa4QN
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3yVt1iW1
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6XjSGES25
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1vFEho44d
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1VqxMQUlB
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteJ8zG93rt
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Kit3gnZap
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc2vUnZMPc
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU387DXmOgQ
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwhoc3fe3
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyJX0oSSKX
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxoHGtr351
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp6YWj17BJ
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxsScmABEE
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0s7zcWVr
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuWE5cJ8Ms
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwTYJmogSv
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDYb8MzC5d
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbZUGtF4TT
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oakBN1LHr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UmPOYyl37
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1i8NkLuMO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloKdJkipXS
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn2PCz63RA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhmBrcwOEj
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1PVxyRVWA
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vpZTh0RGH
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYGkaZc069
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVQBnL5aCg
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ09mgxgQf
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3SuRY2aDD
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDb3zEZnut
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnfKC62HkX
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUg6lJo6Wl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnkyTJztMV
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNefmzrMYZ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTVXYwp07f
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuVXhOmyXr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsE1oV7E3
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqyowGTME2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqvZXzkKQF
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL14v5KyOgT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuzsKaV7Zb
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPwpUmAxmY
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34EiwWkhz0
"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?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NUt8WlfdU
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNUnD06SSn
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFITldUMw0
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVxCCHTNxN
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmng1Wxzfq2
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXoQkUC6HU
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoC0lYzTQT
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CLrFHTobT
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ5bEgFMEx
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC6dAIhltk
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJjB2c7vx9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe5JJm9gh6
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedrCSTeEGQ

"I agree," said Christine.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ViX8jzVbs

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP7qH34vUw
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUD32tXEV1c
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsi0HyZeeH
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEtbmZYPmX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55SvLTczD
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwgYrNyrb

250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0R79lLyGM
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz7zM5KsRI

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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfAjLhRGNd

"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneWtH20j7N
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYPgIFQXHo
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSfTq5nfxR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsgqYBNNwh
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslLYFInmhD

"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jebWNIIXJ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvHBbZswhk
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7zRAE4kFF
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQIc72yOEU
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb6aLjsK8Q
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5zXZrnNb6
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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI6517TiKj
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57FfZzz9t6
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgAFIe3bFd

"While we are at it, we can check things out too."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hDYREpvhc

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIHREHOEk

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZTb6PRpNO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuf3vdMtV4
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78O7z42J9G
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpV2msBJ1o
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTusd1yxBux
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsmsWa16sZ
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6QoGPsSXH
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWEm6vFKVa
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2Bhr7ubCs
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7t1s0rPhk
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1U0TfF8Q8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJRp2Nm4Pg
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh5uYxIFRg

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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuxdlq7MLl
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu9XJR4LEt
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk7sUXF8j8
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknzNpRBrX
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKxhRZsUQC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfhZ9heDdF
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTfPy5b4q7
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wcct1d5HB
"How do I look?" he asked me.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWjKK4gSR
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIlYAJoc6o
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxDoYqN3K9
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08LrBUqnqi
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMX4pVYaQ
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ951MscfyPm
"What about me?" Jimin asked.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwXrv3iy9s
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxjPlZD9hD
"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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0nNyt4Oou
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WYmtE2YqT
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV2kN7f8Q6
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXcynce7u1
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojWylySVq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KHMprStbt
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zlJuOT2Sx

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhpLFsvuFr
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOSgZd8bBM
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMPFMlA59X
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGqKBcXZo8
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLooE3Wm2R
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ISZ6colm
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsCXqpZrUX
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzURDCuiWe
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESHd8YRIxp
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHz3IzONnG
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUFYqybq2J
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTR64NV0Zc
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhlbTtKjYO
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcVw1QrXXy
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx5HdiSibK
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHKhnsLcT3
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvBQnyk8sq
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24ZuOw4n0u
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30zJ07GiN4
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Wp568rMw
"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."250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7K8ADR7mC
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTP49xscez
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7JseZu3L
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj6JzcsE3A
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i4eqeJCcB
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdArtIAUAs
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtjjCfrN1N
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPQzVnssZw
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.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxWLnUSU4i
250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLYEKUyAKL
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.250Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbzb4kUsB

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