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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WctV1qoo
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qylRLxztR
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrmBDg75ZR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3YW71pSPS
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMElOJkBO8
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczbmExkxvm
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeglcEp9x9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yOqjeONQw
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjNWI8BDDv
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpAwadPOio
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO22cFxwzr
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBuvZ96Be
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrFZGIVVsV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcJcTxVpGe
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBFrHkrrug
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX4rA69wfA
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmiv5JIIEz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ1RtHzeCr
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PTqyW9T7G
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY539CnwQa
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGnGi57BMY
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDAlNyfTlT
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiirY4Of2YJ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqunOISWsk
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtuX4nyihy
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLXGLgX24E
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfabEZAJIlA
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1BEgJxPB2
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXPmyVQvPt
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdxU2xkFhD
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuVwadgaN4
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYCH6jg71A
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvUvPA1olu
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrlBUoCnSV
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJaA1I96IB
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx23XEGUgT7
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z60CyLOkz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISb9jHSzF4
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa6TZPT5LP
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP35xUg4Bt
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiktnKM2EIu
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaIvEYezj
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQokiVvIo1m
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCBPyyJtw8
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFOiwXsGao
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswOZrmnSuv
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn8vrvAlTa
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MK14gIgWZ
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyuBbJ9ZCU
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMldJM2Tbb
"No, tell me. What's going on?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrNpubQwXV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFLjMnqndL
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aE7fNaI8c
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVJcu0OK8P
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw6BAv9f4I
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIToW4S6qf
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kRfggClbE
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlSLha1cqU
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYeRa9guUY
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIwRZGrF6D
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfCKiD6OaR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFtkK3wPHw
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN3g49c6d0
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhoDm0vjs1
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HjcKSWH2u
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Y4eYR3lQ
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxVBrAtwqp
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP5qzRbZhs
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRxLFSNTV9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcsNBjks68
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTlXdE7wxd
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsNKY8OzNO
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyRmSalppj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIea6UEbTZ
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKGWQ0Fs9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBsS4FQrw5
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ8oZUKp4x
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYA1YW92qq
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ2qSdlltC
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FYYVGWPF
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L4Kv2XmXn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcubOJbxp1
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3RdCUAz9A
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXap8vChKn
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBvfMJ5xkr
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkQN1UXqBu
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvLt8WO2Aw
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rWmjfBvA
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji8c4BaMtX
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpMaxF0UEC
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJqIve36w
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xfUL70MHQ
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigUz8KdtF
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡman0ARfsZe
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7h8Q74ZdD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbs19T93V
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dosw4Ij1o
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1zVPuz0st
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2ORE8kBNt
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZidRtWZfcr
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2IgqjajzW
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKBxxQd2AK
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlH6h0MO2X
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Bv5IYgw5
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYUANQpQTF
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3rZS36IF7
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtX4uiSsKt
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4EzadO6G
"We lie as usual," I answered.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzCD4oZTjc
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa50tLx2FW
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFORiQcjZGO
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAofRUCApF4
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNs2fNem2W
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaBlbNUQ7S
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIVha42Djk
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NAiK79A3y
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZURU6gV5
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5td3SCOYP
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7whPVjFw
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYajbJOGdZ
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOnK99q8Bo
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFq8GQ0rJH
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJW3fSdYRw
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7y1T5qNXx
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgghORQhT
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMJuo56miW
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozidW1wD5Q
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaddDmIZhR
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEfbRVCe71
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarpBY8Xw8f
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoPwyq0Zg8
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNtDsU7au
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjPVx9y6hO
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1C48RHWU
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoywDH6yXF
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXoRWcoHQ
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tTW0zJD8H
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD2DM2wrwH
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMWOuCypR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7xYx140Nf
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFD38qLFnk
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBowrorZjV
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwIe9UueTm
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvS9AFyr1Z
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRJvy3TSx
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV4e77uSAM
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4yYq28tg
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QudxqUpxf
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64btHjf8TK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BoFeHbTae
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkVNFLAfSY
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGehM1xjAUZ
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ1KhsVRqh
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ui6Ywssp
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXukVa0i1EH
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dJgXJHAOC
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlgqu4AE1G
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fApbJIl7k
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTwCBBzkA2
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvHgWc5rvD
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GQeIwri3r
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0A2ThTiv8
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGSs0zVDk
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYtex8wt3L
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRdBPtY7O7
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSj67jYGV
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw10Rc4ftQD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZolBJfQdL
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1we9UGsx
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz9e42y6E0
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6dwCxHTpn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlQeq7FSEJ
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJk06CeoT
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKadFEVaxPP
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRby9xNSlUk
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA9RYGkp0W
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9BkNr6N9x
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd70ddytYY
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTjdsbqyV9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl59CEWU7aZ
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ggtbYTZaL
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAok18wgF0z
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98gRBDhfQ4
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2S0z0n4w7
"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?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y37DbaBvB
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSilyIAWsp8
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9sjQWW9RZ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl4YXH87Dn
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOUSs4xHip
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJBPLoOokS
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE2L4NDKfc
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbWUnICYPL
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9DM4cvhUd
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwCgENv9Zm
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelrXf16ouJ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8b8dEMuio
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vFxT3sina
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqEbkEFu6
"I agree," said Christine.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVgOzdGaIL

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjF4RfTQe1
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD7qFeY8IV
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZdPJ4pQj
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi0XkDLGNd
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57HHviyiV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJyJOOSj7H
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysJKfk8SvO

343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWx1sGloHz
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zEktwzTgY

"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lqmE7w8zk
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0b2abpCuj
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEyQ3rt7Fu

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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3317lEIPxS

"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUMJmUT1KZ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVaeFYtmiT
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQXL7TVIpK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmcNCC1w5
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVGkPbGjO

"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCUVv8i5y
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdFQiO7zcV
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ678mbtXWGi
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJw5tj6oX4
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoinYwfCLHn
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0cuTxsUlS
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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WETIiwrcT
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGsO9QDP6
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXYKpswUq
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1g3bBU7hq
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy49tEqu2z
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jl7Zq65sM
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwxEoKoQ0s

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nny8mn9Bt
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMFC7mCe4A
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYO2fjbaX0
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3uY4UhEH7
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXmSewLyOm
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFofblmafr
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zjCdb7eGs
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd6g5qvSei
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlb9m7laF3
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDaDzVsNbu
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLLmWGOqAK
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERdg1eTeIb
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eb0bh5GkG

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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUuvJ1U9VH
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDYdhRAocc
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54MC9qcQG9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK794i8Uke
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtRO2s2i0E
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54IJrZWKU3
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3wK45p7Yq
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvgP0Ringt
"How do I look?" he asked me.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3a0rjYje
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hv8aYooT1
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xL14p1qz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAqclJFG7
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKNMQdeH4n
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqfrwz7gms
"What about me?" Jimin asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6tDz70CgL
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFJLu0HqJQ
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8XiEST0pX
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIK0bTHLC8
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTE5YTQVZo
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyNBHeLqIx
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwKqZSixeB
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2px3KOpMGX
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayosQsp49E

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn41xGWD9py
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNeD5HZ2ug
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJg2MHnYg
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jk75G4ERs
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXAE9HshgZ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlylHPmIJq
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mb8RXjTus
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS83tcrWuC
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3A2wexLy
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8ICUU8cnU
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rCnNBQy3s
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8cSmapAG3
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcINa7xVUTp
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu3mt3rZ9L
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcuAunBeS
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NKsT0xYHC
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC38DzV0nbL
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziwVACMnFJ
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44O0ThBqlS
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7FfWSSLyC
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qX77iWJAz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3E93Rkncd
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpmKqPPDeA
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3AXtYIfPL
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZNGSd2ifm
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZOIcO35uM
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqt1MT11Ck
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnu5dP6ksT
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmEDqR2Xgz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomQ8tNzNA
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabawqtKjBB
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SJ5gh1zcZ
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
