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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0ykfBaWb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEOQFD7gzF
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ytRLDArrf
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnBGwQ503s
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIRAe4fZzM
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6yqXiD9rS
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuay3CfNR4
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOL6MHGY3J
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D1LLrzRYt
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6K1Xd2EEo
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUme119HSmn
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePHEXRm0Hd
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV5lDtlcjN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0EgIILM4F
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVcUzTPntL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvq396g3l
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoi6nLRZaR
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBRHXNgOBU
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDunFqARvE
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShVpTywD7H
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VY23h7c8U
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt5cUy2v4s
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI4iZwVUmN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6OVpgvX9
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM91wM6bQP
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HhMvnRx5z
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISidayzdj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOn0CUoaWV
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1sNv5myL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgIlZLt71F
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJZlZgFhAF
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4koFrjF5q
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFUXrG76QO
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vy3MCE1yE
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmrhRRzAwv
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49eNwIQDJB
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRtHskMTin
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti0O26esnK
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPSYThhzW2
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUrr4YybFT
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9MNJiRyx
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttt8fYu03f
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qfQVgXS8
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0hpEPk1S9
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBEFRue8R
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPqh8gyv8R
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLxIq7dciz
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAavESDyoO
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSahmNSd5b
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWlz4e4aXw
"No, tell me. What's going on?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98yaZRoM65
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPW660zRLN
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow69nZpEix
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqflyEJpaYV
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81SasYAkQW
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicIzAaklaV
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhUAGagrX
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRpl2mx6PD
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cHh5GHzK4
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZlcMnTchQ
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rV0bOCvNn
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQYiloRlJw
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnUr8vJUAA
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWUs8jsnMQ
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnKcGJeUYD
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy9TEvJlAE
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr373vPU7b9
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdaISTKIvR
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm0khtKqYy
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o64K4KFkq
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ7eRuP7Cm
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSHXOlxZeD
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ603q88pCF
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx7Cy5meSk
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJL4E1kpIW
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuxWOlGx8O
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbje573tyHf
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEInJN1JEE6
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4M7djmOzw
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdbVuRoOe1
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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGXKDtJYN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizr4awVFRV
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2N4Sa794N
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho2MkJFsMs
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kPEdcT93L
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpaDa57ePq
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8t0yeIryw
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLnoEr8nee
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vtFhbOykb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi2Jo3tzn6
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnsdU3t0K9
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2k9wEjKbN
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAUupAgSzL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqvxk3mkwq
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac0GEbWZQJ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjODx1BR11K
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaiCQpyavK
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1X3PxZv2y
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXuISA4ZH
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHHHkJ4qYj
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROf8kigaD7
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYh7JHTf8
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9PTPxAUcK
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvUFJlA0Ap
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpEIoPTxCp
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy8ZjQq8jo
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy92BTRcwj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcdL1R7WLU
"We lie as usual," I answered.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBWYJNS1Ts
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFGUSlWasw
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9R4kvvFW
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrRT2NJJ9c
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrQSYBYPuZ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQTfYHA2jB
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx9lzfsg4O
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRxiaFoGlz
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzrO0hl8xs
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG5GiJdqim
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ3ueI859l
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfuFO0ZzVP
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFQPgAxony
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V8qg1jT9K
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEk7tZD5YT
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInVU9fo4nO
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZStFX8kmN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0yWeW7pny
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDLuFjuYya
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjfEmsB0EH
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjsSqDLl1a
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgHq30BUOv
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntVbpegzh
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdlICfwkk7
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjQmdt5kzq
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5LzxCqrCs
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFAeQnj3Xg
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgcJQOMuRI
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC0O2KfleS
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD1DCs3Psz
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKzmipr1ZV
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZsJg6p3i0
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznfAi5b39p
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c7X9zoBHY
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtHfiAk0u
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIUeeRas3r
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfZQ8mgQj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwlRY49vHT
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcyczQgems
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzENY50DKT
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTveivAjC7s
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkptRpln9Cs
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQNnkrTbKY
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoKb8Ka7UO
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQguDcEYobj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXNH05e08z
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuvZAhUax0
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3XLK9I8dT
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34d9ygd84
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFBmDAV9hV
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIsruxjXN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrHXoe7dlR
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHfGvnsHFb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI5YjLhMNw
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsUvNhIAHN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4RJUsbhv
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cbRVzJygZ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0oe76xDMi
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmoT7CnfNj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgvWzSRIOg
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCcsdbkHZj
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIFCL2uebY
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMhOYW5ee
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYhZojbmvD
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsNwjYoEU
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPoMBHagUT
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8NznsQR9E
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5r7jAbuP7
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Vh7yxueG
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQgJUY5T9c
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Ohz1XDam
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVPtpkjVn
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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb6Eg30G2j
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLGdH88U6W
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVv8NTJEfh
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp7Begt8rV
"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?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf5VzYQ6xJ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZMcgUiLkl
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEcyhjEl8R
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy7NSoUzVc
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn055rurU5
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgQtEEuQqO
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolPRaSlA2
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViO6WOLuSJ
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvxEJvFuQ5
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLCEYOoYyi
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RNxiUgv91
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqXbkH28P
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsFhLURLq5
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79uocT40ut
"I agree," said Christine.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8lXHTTyQx

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruYVCwdeh
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlQCInQn2j
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn12UZXuhL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCyiBGgb5k
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjnzZIcglB
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5p3Gw9aVt
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNiAT8xj0C

290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigc9uvPacS
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR34AtxSLO

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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXd1NqSnbW

"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN3IDI2V6g
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8vZxRX6nw
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp5JKIKliV
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQqI624KQp
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrie5aFMz

"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKGwFsAKCx
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7SoFrlj6Q
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriCc98QCHI
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVZ8NPWPy
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyBMGYl13J
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtOn4G55ug
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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzYzB5bDqo
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvQl9LMK6O
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSPjhlwOPq
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bCON3Yczg
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9QCROJkSL

"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCyspD9nRg

"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy1dX5lGjN
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikI1xRGc6Y
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutUqcfWHKp
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyRQx1sAOx
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc5ae0qj38
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOgyK91426
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItbI9IgBy4
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh13wdTyy4J
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKW6pd4yGg
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcwTgz1zfy
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ze0NTVwFo
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde9BJeVmaS
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqdLtnQQ6n

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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2r1X0f4ej
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLu8MCGaFX
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Pe20NCCu
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvqx882W2C
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dps5y6wcx
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZxYrmlo7U
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqhIGpLulC
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRc8CY5Qw0
"How do I look?" he asked me.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8OxkiATAO
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesmw1YOeyu
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOSJBFbKJ2
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrCOyYeGi1
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX9BLO02tQ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIuEciHYV8
"What about me?" Jimin asked.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5lOM6uDe
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWPAOFY8QR
"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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMdMI9zWAz
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZznXX8Uc
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzab8XlGYgm
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afD1x4CBL
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡski0meMHUM

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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9EzuD5PUb

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIruYIZxlJQ
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgG9EO4MJ
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHzrSg2Tsr
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyC76aiP7a
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTjdsnCrHd
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRF9Wle3kk
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21zYXFshb
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FHsR0cIXu
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNeSEL5Y4
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdv0ZRTQl6
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDUycEDPDY
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguHYhX0is
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNqKVwrFrO
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkFps91iwD
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1seQDwjDDy
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTV9QGSzlR
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMW4KatoFL
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJC05JQ5R
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU74Ye7Vhpu
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApzPjxd1T7
"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."290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUczwvTvnHH
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2YRNmvyhp
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZCr5yZLsN

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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdw1GrE7Gs
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObgh9AuCYF
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS5YwUcjYI
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BScLrll4S
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.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcNGLMpTck
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhCVGRxb0y
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyWU6KiJrF
290Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECnCO8msg6
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
