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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iyfr1vY26
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV40AzIhD8
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E3Qu0fkDh
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAHiApHliK
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1fhpIzgLy
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E8MLpRBFr
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnne2vFZXf4
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMTh5qy9a
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DgA8GZD6G
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvy07O1H4i
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz5RUISR9O
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJKJsjyaYm
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQLTZSMrDQ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YTyiTodC
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthMhmCLRBm
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhJsZSGRiP
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn31Q9v1Eu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrX8e78Rab
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItaAEn1z7H
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6HuF6bo7f
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDblrQLtDtB
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ftdC9vpjV
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5zpj6FpFc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLngm12Vd01
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2a42HtEhn
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ii4LHPuy
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoBtqYY18S
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJELLPQsWmj
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUb7g6eN7s
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKlkGnIAWS
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBGiOVOtmE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDOy8UkCeF
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JbUCJt65M
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5UmeojLb
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuyPF6RqIz
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpZg4nlrcs
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwmBbmgXhX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZ9EVE7Tz
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XecsEN1LE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHCVHig1e
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAGYO2ZMkR
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuxuP61eXZ
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsLRDDyM8z
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC1drBY8MN
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9N7s51LB9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP3Hsi49tr
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwa1TecZmx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC30civkTg
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzamwQp0DCW
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Xt4Iavbn
"No, tell me. What's going on?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY3iSuzvG9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8FgzkCN1m
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBRpQ50jGE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyEDnAULck
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP93lAMHBd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPN75dOQtH
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYuRMB36QG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R9ZgZ7kKm
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAADBz9lVhV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PPlGSKWsh
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6izguu9ok2
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0TAoctAX
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw8x8hfXwF
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLnhQTCgc7
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVY6hOYxbG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmwYVKaV9h
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacdO82UGbc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6mKWZDCya
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt16k8r7gSk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw52xI6w1r
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonAlKdiTYC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvbPwPUP2l
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyEwmKOEON
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQZaVwh89l
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuItcFN8lt
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sJYPGUbI1
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWirnzTkTT
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlwgISAMPP
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BJbfmQJcS
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyldSdbqTjl
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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB2Sj98fsf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx80ZS1U90D
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j0sWKAind
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcLBJQESty
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuwz6i1VgX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwEYwpOVwS
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPQ3FSXsW3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9L2hkZ7O3
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbsnQSROmJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJPFilXoyM
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FHSv5UTes
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKlEUkBmVR
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbCokAHukE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwetvOEdOZ
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAtmZ4dieR
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BhVyFfED9
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5nLj6oHaJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaALG5zTvx
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakUQffLZoF
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiDMF5qfLL
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHUtzZ5Tr2
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrDapl8Qli
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXACQTfSbc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yCl30ReXp
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTkAa4rar8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExZjA45sdr
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNNSyMPl5G
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvLJFYwdzh
"We lie as usual," I answered.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkZq6hBhZ7
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6oKTvsSWd
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxt2IxrWiB
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaN7CPHVev
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfrPkAjdEd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObomhIwQTg
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hNcKRa8F
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmEmQxO65
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUisZAXouy5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXxaKuuSMi
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0zSHOojUc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSnELmemfB
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaQdRA6IQj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUXOPGdUV2
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqIBHH44QH
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD28GCRxlR
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQO5GyCDZR
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGBtnxWgM
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMii4BrHgW9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchYu859P8
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXW295y8Qx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEbavg3B2J
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GKYff6q3L
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2VEyaPujW
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAELIasNV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSRmm7wIzl
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7dGU0hEx5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y8bhnhwKM
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPRkpy2dxj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fnGYtkDoM
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LOuvrYNp8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZDGO8zk4u
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrfVWpzOYM
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWFVnSbbp8
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDw7xwc53a
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07tJqFU8Kt
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSX2N5n98S
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gn4O2BW0B
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXPOJGQPwO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CdS2vtRyc
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZNQUOYWNo
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT66iGMOMx
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj4VrNNC8N
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMD8dls1d0
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGXvDqrFk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzabLpxBTT
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuQUJvtcec
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrND1jOkejx
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyUYYYJyLe
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCwmWtrcbU
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWxKvLdQjC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AnWNVn8RG
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQeZl2uw5E
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVyrKL6WH
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqKH0E1iw8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsqEIG55ty
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4XwMn1XI1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DqFBtWuEG
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBdIlboNJz
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGuzda5xGA
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qo6MGei9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNlYRisPmE
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxavpeZn21
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt7GtYJrhp
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQviPysEXD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhKIyP2y3z
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyQDbygb47
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ojutTcWZO
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYLGrXgiNt
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUa3fcvs53
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKm5dGp2A
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP1pDdVHz7
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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WGp3DpGL1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlFIT9YIfk
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf8FNfOZBd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweXgC13w4t
"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?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fPA6bs9x6
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUg02dU7V
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgDyy7kaP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik5vJd1zWO
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCLP0l6Jxu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXR5e7KJm
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnACqGTe3cG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwoh3irSvO
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5649LexBBG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4dGpeGOP9
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG5RpmtiJC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHo3hrXT2A
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBk26etqGP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX6kUyKwB7
"I agree," said Christine.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DpmLQJvHc

"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDFoiMIkbP

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs4S5J7IPK
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfJXhNvZIs
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9amyhvTEV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpz77nQzL
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0X8da5kAc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p3EskGimz
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08QX0TWfk2

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfcCtM0Pot
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJMDmodkl
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZILKnmoU6

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JtBtHy12O
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2NvsVaDM3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00epq6Alon
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdaV4yYUOn

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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9AmuCkBAo

"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83zePpWNe4
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZKKG0PDMh
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eDp9LmUWJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMjv9mkWvw
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq6xQzbN76

"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iUpGJVroA
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkyDviL66d
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe23INzAMAd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfg1MiOPHw
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme0i2laHcj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYq4ofoE1l
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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsGu3b1hbU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oQySwOdvj
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwTLXh6EJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlvVMbyywb
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oHYTRuLGh
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ0ACfzydD
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq6XS5A2oZ

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLACsLv9Er
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNxDOiFze1
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoHVsOcpYk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDp62M0390
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlrXuyyvzS
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicVdXKXCrK
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZob7QRsk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7RvyRr09s
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR78l9OcnG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlGEG6boqb
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrIuxkwrwU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayUGXLqK0D
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1iWWrcUuf

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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK70UHsTQLN
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFblaca9mrA
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXYIcWef4q
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8w0F3MXju
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjadXxLKVF
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7nMpZXmmo
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMcwfBIUv1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJL6MulNGf
"How do I look?" he asked me.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhQdlwDDOO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FE3JzxkxX
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfpFQpkxux
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcsjepKge
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qVgtBlQ33
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7GnzbWytm
"What about me?" Jimin asked.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3XIbo0xqj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8hxxHMELh
"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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pOwW2jIE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwj4hWmeiB
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC55ulW8FU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPg9KKGfl5
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuGNdbw8YI
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgopQnUdTvh
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HnNFh9aTZ

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fxpmNI9DK
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D8caHnyWz
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfENejiT5Nn
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKktJwsgaGB
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kmc8hGZbO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCF3nEIaGe
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3f7PgO4cf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkZs2NS9Wn
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOihBO98uX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLJQqPKBIh
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpXYrNGsi
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxylMsUND3
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPgdt0F68z
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eFpooIbJw
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBS49EzUMb
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEN7l66oT7
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfXyp6io9
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQVF7dLXJr
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2TpHPMubk
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Cl98fJqI
"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."321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMFYrxnX7G
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lMfeJ6uP7
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi1FWFLDLu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnrDCmjVMT
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHbeMOVqMO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2LGimqep5
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtxAWP0TQ0
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisiCY2d0Y7
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.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmYBuqU1ef
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLnaZB9r1u
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqg9Xpp1le
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNVcqkIu9
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
