As fit and healthy as a lot of us can be, climbing up the stairs was tiresome just after three flights. As soon as we reached the fifth floor, we stopped to take a breather. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGIQt8dVgH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbJ2lil0RR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv55D93UdDD
"Who am I kidding?" said Zoey as she leaned upon the stair rail. "I’m so tired." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB38JBoKZET
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOlGC77iL4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFiYKelgKl

"Do we really have to go all the way to the manager’s office?" Jisoo asked. "Wasn’t Lee making her way down when we called her?" 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyU9O18ykq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1un52CkVN2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTIR9wPoC4
"She was," I answered. "If you ask me, we can start looking on this floor, or we can split." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn3HiOQdEe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mGydE1CEV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgy1JmRBpq
"I say we stick together," said Seunghoon. "I’ve a feeling taking Johnny down will need some team effort." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBdbo2gIaB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1tXY8Bcjq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9mNRGEjc7
"Spoken like you’re leading the SWAT team," Mino teased. "Splitting up might be easier, but we’re only a few of us, so we need to stick together." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQFKmkRqik
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBloEQ4w8t
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh6ogEko7h
"That’s fine," I said. "I really wish we knew where she could be." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYEVdtQAv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpxxUH7z3X
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2rW3qZQ7r
We heard footsteps coming from upstairs. We looked at each other before darting down the hall, to hide round a corner. Seunghoon who was close, took a peek. The footsteps grew louder. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSv5AorKjS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAJHt6JjWt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNPKEgOkl
"Can it be Johnny?" Zoey asked. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEgw2ZK51m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLtSMwGHCa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzOfxy9T4A
"I doubt it," Mino whispered who leaned against the wall next to her. "That sounds like a lot of steps." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINsKhzVsje
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM1ZEPheci
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6DAzGHR4e

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQypWLtl5S
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIr5bBRTFz
We all became silent, and a lot of us held our breaths. The sound of footsteps became heavier. We could tell it’s the security guards. We were lucky they didn’t stop on the floor we are on as they continued down the stairs. As the sound of their footsteps grew fainter, we slowly started to relax. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZmNQ3mbre
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sr5YI5krm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtoG5wpaZ

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DzGFJG6TD
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVN4gIV8k

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkJO1Vyk8z
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwRYPg1aI
"Even if we do, and Johnny does have her, he'll know we’re coming for him," said Mino. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxBNZN1aAl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0kbEFpYSl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe33HhGXlEL

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nS6mxm0g3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53g1f79H8M
"I think we call anyway," said Zoey. "He obviously knows that the only way to draw us out is if he has Lee." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm34Ne89Khg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbVDrK7cf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U5YVWS2ZF
"Or he might call us instead," said Jisoo. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVsKnTHohB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNiMJfVDlu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYzABNreK9
"Well, he would've called first if he wanted to draw us out," I said as I held my phone in my hand. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtIhkQ1jlt
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUhkPP3MEV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVtxBNfOjC

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTln6QnqFk
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJLqVofUo2
I put my phone back in the pocket. "We just have to look for her the old-fashioned way," I answered. "If we do call, he'll be expecting us and who knows what he might do." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo0rSw1z3G
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYglAqHzI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6bFw1ab3
"So you want to catch him off guard?" Jisoo asked. "Will that even work?" 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWscaJkoOUn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHT4cEeQsL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX6Y65qWOl
"It will be bad for us if we call. That way he will know we're agitated." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ZvgL0ynF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sP8KVirQL
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SOf56tp32

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tviZnBhkl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenpAQf0hPC

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrLgeKgdpS
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACyt2vmYaJ
"What’s on this floor anyway?" I couldn't help but ask as I felt like the place is pretty much empty. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Rl6MYerH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnmqNOOPw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvhJFPDl79
"There are rooms that were once used for practice till they moved them downstairs. They plan to renovate and make offices here," said Mino. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUEXS0mSIF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkSjmdTg9m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKK0re1EKg
"Is this the only floor where renovations are taking place?" I stood in the middle of the hall to take a good look beyond. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA31cIKAPN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWM5NTvTp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvMUWpDWZm

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1MBSoi9Oe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd43UwJd4X
"This feels like the perfect place for Johnny to keep Lee. The place is quiet, and it’s the only place where there’s nobody around." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5XiwmezO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSG2bdY23v
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVS8NWaWhV
"Well, the bodyguards should’ve thought of that before bypassing this floor," said Zoey. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Tl5MWgei
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GSG5SyiGc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWOSY5uDXl
"Maybe they did, and they couldn’t find anything to convince them that someone could be hiding here," said Jisoo. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxBAlf5Aos
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRziewIhuyo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbOQeCzU4
"Well, let's see if we can find something," said Seunghoon. "But the rooms should be empty." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXln4JcsH7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgpVhdZ7SI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ILY541wU
As we were about to make our way down the hall, I stopped. I hear something. Mino who went ahead of me, noticed and stopped also. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOEimRpb6
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaFT7VZJiJ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuy6YoM2Fn
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLqOMVPzF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7en4GOqSxp
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokPrcV1VXr
"Everyone, hide," I said quietly. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLYtbJsiPv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05mLdNUqLe
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAQ58BVBjB
"What? Why?" Zoey asked, turning to look at me. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaUFRNCi5s
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMvwwsgWDP
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGrBGbfMYD
"Someone’s coming," I answered. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfdoDcxqUE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmOou5ie9m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZbAKZFFxu
We all paused. We could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Likewise, we tiptoed quietly down to the first door down the hall. Seunghoon who is the first to reach it, opened the door and in a line, we all entered the dark room. The place smelt of dust and the air is stuffy. The windows haven’t been open for a while. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxHWPoZzre
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkw8AA7F4
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYosKKIovHN
Seunghoon is the last to enter and closes the door behind him. We’re almost in the dark, but light came in through the translucent glass window on the door. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSoNTVJ8Y1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyFut2h1PU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMewWNnkc3R
"Can we turn on the lights?" Jisoo asked in a whisper. "It’s dark in here." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaCyiscgo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA1TyDXonT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9K05TEtyP
"We can’t," said Seunghoon. "There’s a translucent glass window on the door. If we turn on the lights, the person down the hall will tell someone is in here." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXtpzA8yVs
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ll0eX43of
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnyJTpU7dc
"Ssh," said Mino. "Do you hear that? The person is coming." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEniRoEP1qu
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9zSqfrfLo
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzbwx7Sm6h
We all kept quiet. Who could it be? Could it be Johnny? What if it’s one of the guards? If it’s the latter, we'll be in big trouble and will be escorted back to the studio. If it’s Johnny, we need to be careful. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjKX7DhF4A
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1maNSM9pNx
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSNbk1sA3z
Seunghoon slowly opened the door so as not to make a sound. The rest of us stood there, waiting for confirmation if the person out there is a threat. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1bw9zvfZC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pwuf33EEv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46ZTjJBjuE
We hear footsteps come closer, and I see the person through the glass, bypassing the door. I turn to look at Seunghoon to see any reaction on his face. Before I ask, he already made a move by drawing the door wide open and stepping into the hall. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY678I1sSa
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1XLdibeCf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Pg88opxm

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYO8jmHhcz
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfridmWy8Ng
"Goodness, Seunghoon get back here!" Zoey whispered to him. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34s2QPdWAl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7524zuV1Xd
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5I9OXT3fJ

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9yn10WrWf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdNhgmbg88
"Don’t worry, guys, it’s GD," Seunghoon came back into the room to address us. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp06yiix45q
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQs6o3vD50
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyV0o0mogT

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmweBOgJGn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg9yDw4QbT
Mino, Zoey and I also stepped out of the room. G-Dragon stood there in a red fresh paint jacket with a black jumpsuit and a white shirt on. He’s just as surprised to see us. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfri72cmsUl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9LY0z5MkL

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosDJXkcEwz
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfFKzDyiIY
"Well, to answer your first question, we’re out here trying to look for Johnny," said Zoey, folding her arms. "For the second one, we finished recording the song." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrSKqAUL6d
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WpKu5rXDO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNXySAIlDl

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLutNs2pIoV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsralsN3Qqd

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA7M8IFCm5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPKIfnCtqf
"We think Johnny has Lee," I added. "She never came back to the studio. When we called, she said she ran into him, and she sounded like she was running away." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Dd93JW1p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KOEMOSqgQ
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L1cTfQMXi

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8XvuoMFpN
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyHyVrEWp1
"Really?" Zoey asked, raising an eyebrow. "How can we be so sure that you're looking for him?" 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSWhP8oX8m
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbc8wpT3vT
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoFgl88hL0
G-Dragon and so did the rest of us turn to look at her, wondering why she could ask such a question. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy91xaBb20
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdG8EqNaQH
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImU7BKBKY
"Don’t get me wrong, guys," said Zoey as she noticed the looks, "but didn’t GD bring Johnny here in the first place? So how can we tell you aren’t just going to lead us into a trap?" 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ4AwWjma9
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBUaPOvXas
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZTEtMLrUj

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX0uMq7Die
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzQ0E4ceN0

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHMyVl8NO
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6sxbhEIfA
"Zoey, enough," I intervened. "Telling him that we told him so right now isn’t going to help us find Lee." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrbhvSujYb

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXBRDSnrU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O6Hy2sEw3
"Wasn’t the crowd he drew towards us last night evident enough that Johnny is crazy? Yet you brought him here on the grounds that you two are friends." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Lu7OwsqA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCnwCOuVQG
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WFOVHpuba
"Zoey, calm down," said Mino as he came and held her shoulders. "GD never knew Johnny would take things too far. We should listen to Sam and find Lee first." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH3K6Tid02
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XNMNgjLG1
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgARYJ3KIq1
"Fine," said Zoey. "But after we find Lee and Johnny should at least be arrested, I’ll make sure to claw your face out, GD." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08osUanV1c
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nQjhfvmeR
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfPSlodTVg

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu55zAcpYGl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl1MsaIrpW
"No, he hasn’t," he answered. "I tried calling him a few times, and he hasn’t replied. I thought of looking for him, but it's been difficult since the guards don’t want anyone wandering around. I managed to get away as I was held in the lobby. Likewise, I thought of coming to this floor, since the rooms aren’t being used." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNtnXBAe48

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZthfH4TG5J
"Well, they’re definitely not in this one," said Zoey as she looked at the door of the room we were hiding in. She started her way down the hall, bypassing G-Dragon. I noticed the look she gave him. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4vrBaqpL

GD and I join the search. Seunghoon and Jisoo had already entered one room. We approached the open door, and the lights were on. There isn’t much in the room. There were a few things lying around and furniture that had been covered with white cloths to prevent the dust settling on it. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZFk9VfmHK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDIYNMeLki
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAHi4inUU
GD went ahead, and I followed him to the next room where there’s Mino and Zoey. There were boxes and furniture covered in cloths all around. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVROBIBwgXU

GD went on ahead, opened the door and turned the lights on. He stood there as he looked, and I joined him. There’s nothing much to see with only two carton boxes and pieces of paper on the floor. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjBgASx2qI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwN9qUZFM7
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3wfhQ6p1
"Nothing, here," he said as he slowly started to close the door. Then I caught a glimpse of something through the corner of my eye. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFYQNmeUY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LEqH5aur9
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqwMDyfOQp
"Hey, wait," I said as I also held the door to stop GD from closing it. I draw it wide open and look inside the room. My attention is drawn towards the two large carton boxes. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkRkGYRCcg

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyTYHbzEvx
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TBVELI57o
The box did move. My eyes widened, and I turn to look at GD, whose mouth is agape. He saw it too. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zuZdeOhH3

Before I could go any further, I felt G-Dragon take hold of my hand. I stop and turn to look at him. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWPGKG9Zyf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4tgHeJFKI

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0fJ9DCTt2
I nodded. I turn towards the box in the room and the both of us slowly approach it. We pause at the same time when the box moved again. We continue our approach and as soon as we’re close, I lean forward and find that the top of the box is covered. The box gently shook again. I draw out my hand to uncover the box but G-Dragon is quick to grab it to stop me from doing so. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVBtX263v

A soft little ‘meow’ came from inside the box. I gave a mocking look at G-Dragon, and he scratched the back of his head, embarrassed. I went on to open the box and inside it is a small, black, furry kitten. It looked up at us with its cute, sparkling green eyes and meowed again. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpy5RfR2I8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ312IvxtANK
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFW1QbreOY

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNUng9Atof
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05E1cTGHlF
I bent over to get it out of the box. At first, it backed away into a corner and I knew I had to let it trust me first. I gently let my palm touch the top of its head and started to pet it. Soon enough, it purred and rubbed its ears around my hand. I soon brought in my other hand and lifted it out of the box. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuBRMrLmum

"Hey, guys, have you found….?" Jisoo appeared through the door and as soon as she saw the kitten in my hands, she got excited and quickly came towards us. Mino also came in and had a confused look, wondering why Jisoo reacted that way. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFExjXXr7w
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WmsADCJ5i
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCEFt6B6Vi

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe67urMrbuw

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2GwayU9mI
I gave Zoey the kitten, and it didn’t resist. Zoey and Jisoo continued to admire it as the kitten looked back at them, unaware of the attention it’s gained. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgdYOvDw8r

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouD6Hi9XmI
"I agree," said Zoey, as she lifted it to take a better look at it like it's a precious gem. "Just look at it. It's so cute. It will be a crime to leave it here all alone." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFBmsoImCx

The four of us with the kitten in my arms left the room and continued our search. We looked in every room and no luck so far. We are left to search on the other side of the floor. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYPO4Vq1JA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NGr3Q5TJ0

We made a turn going to the left and Seunghoon who led the way, stopped in his tracks. Even when I'm not close to him, I could tell his body has grown tense. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2dp6fm2bo

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncyjidNWiw
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBFTQ11bt

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c7QbJjaRW
"Goodness," said the guard as he scratched his head. "I was coming down the stairs with her. I told her to go back to the studio on her own since the other guards had called for me. As I was climbing up, Johnny appeared on one of the floors and ran past me. I tried to stop him, but then I lost my footing and fell a couple of stairs. I'm afraid I might have twisted my ankle. Likewise, I told Lee to run as soon as Johnny showed up." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGqdVtBNwz

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr09mfJGq9V

"We found Johnny above the stairs on our way down," said the guard. "He might have chased her up to this floor, I’m not so sure. But I couldn't move quickly because of my twisted ankle." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNEiueKQ2L

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4ZfkJhOPj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVbedyOHO2
"No, but if someone like Johnny wants to go around unnoticed between floors, that stairway is the best way. They are usually locked and only opened during emergencies. There’s a storeroom in the underground basement. He might be hiding there." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ7MJ6vTb1

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLCL0GzX2A
"He shouldn’t know that we’re out here looking for him." I answered. "GD, quick, answer it." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0G49IhvyI
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwmHsk90te
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNztbdXUPlS
GD slid the call button to the right and put the phone to his ear. "Johnny, hey? Where are you?" he asked. "I’ve been waiting in the lobby." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtLkapYRU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PfiwLY5h8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwgYJenP04
We could Johnny loud and clear as he responded: "I’m in the underground basement. I thought I would join you in the car park outside." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlItIygy4i

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DoXTmqQ2j

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYBkAIsdA3
Zoey rolled her eyes and I prayed she wasn’t going to mutter out something stupid, but she didn’t. I wish I could blow out a sigh of relief, but that will only draw Johnny’s attention. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmpXKa0gTv
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6zDTZZhvl
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Xe8pck4Q
"Are you still down there?" GD asked. "I can come join you, and we can walk to the car park outside. That’s if the guards will allow us to pass through." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGVNhCCdkm
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX6LQfk48l

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnQlxxbJJ3
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMcPxYOFz5

Zoey turned towards the emergency exit door and drew it open. She made her way first down the stairs with Jisoo and me following behind her. Mino and G-Dragon were last, with G-Dragon closing the door behind him. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfpV4P8ne9
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy8oHgwcVy
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79nmtuG7CV
We make our way down the stairs, and we were much quicker this time. Before we reached the ground floor, I stopped everyone. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyEKfVlY1p
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnpAPEMat8
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU8ZNOopUv

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXZpAYZX3G

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wa0oCq3Mq
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnuOFaQJHc

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pgBqakfYY
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbbWivrS4r

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvey7wEldUj
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBjUYcDtKQ

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6jRTjiVyF

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fDP0d4IYn
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4PkwKVwLi
If I were Jisoo, I wouldn’t have asked that question. But she doesn’t know Zoey like I do, so she better prepare to get her mind blown. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SgzDunYP
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqNDkh4sfa

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBdGscJOMb
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwIzrTlAra
Jisoo looked at Zoey, dumbfounded. I turned to look at Mino and GD who like me, didn’t seem the least bit surprised. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbzbfbF7HX

Zoey sucked on her teeth and continued to lead the way down the stairs. I really need to keep an eye on her. She might have agreed not to do anything, but that’s Zoey. A moment later, she’ll find herself doing what she intended to do, and I’ll be left to deal with her mess. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBLfaLrrEA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DDz3iSHD5
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCPAomqo5Q
We are now in the basement and before Zoey could open the door. GD stepped forward. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnz7XFS6Uc
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2lyqX5Rf
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAV4uzlCBw

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFJdOmCT63
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1eXzbMBX6
Zoey gave him a nod of her head showing that she understood. She stood aside and GD went to open the door. He did it slowly to look around before fully stepping out. He turned to us standing by the door. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eLGHvOky5

"Don’t come out until the coast is clear," he whispered to us. He looked over at Mino. "You come over by the door and keep a look-out. You know where the storeroom is." 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dBH46tcEA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lsgbQBsqV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIpiPvABGR
Mino gave a nod and went to stand by the door. G-Dagon soon walked away, leaving the door slightly ajar. Mino closed it for a bit so as not to be seen, but left a good amount of space for him to take a peek. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdG7eWSbai

GD walked away from the door and made his way towards the cars packed on the other side. He looked around and there seems to be no sign of Johnny. He thought of going round to the exit when he heard Johnny's voice behind him. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQzPf6U4zu

G-Dragon turned and found Johnny coming from behind one of the pillars. He had a smile on his face like nothing is going on and GD felt his insides turn. What did he get himself into? 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiNLrFNle2
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oNz4f1E4u

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTyLk8AeWH

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lNS3rK85X
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoNsAk0Fmx

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzdpncwbgy
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntEnVQ1glR

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBOBcQ9kfE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Bn1C5r0K

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHwJCe13Ae
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUbWrdxtw8

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ47Nex1kAE
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtgzwpk53d

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1W8JbKONM
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZWYkV2tMn
Mino had seen Johnny as soon as he called out to GD. With the pillars and the cars in his sight of vision, it was hard to see them clearly, but he could tell they were walking towards the exit. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r0dzc6Qsg
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oNdpQ2MDU

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjihh20OXL
Mino looked around first. He signalled with his hand to the others to follow. He walked out. Zoey and Sam followed, then Jisoo. Good thing about the place is that they could easily use the parked cars for cover. They walked up the curb with the cars facing them and bending over so as not to be seen. They were just about to reach the door of the basement when Jisoo suddenly fell on her knees. The rest stopped advancing and looked at their fallen comrade. GD and Johnny on the other side stopped walking too. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsK5qu699

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ToZIKWPJ

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZyKG8cpb
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2qqKEBWkV
With Sam helping her up, but careful enough not to stand upright, she and Jisoo started to make their way to the others. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLe8Du3xSC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzdpBdJgoB
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlSoLByScy
"I think I’ll go check it out," said Johnny as he fully turned around to make his way back. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AT4bPzUzA
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXHjZdkE98
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj0kbPMcai

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ2xs9zztF
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT4zhMheYP
"Come on, it’s probably nothing," said GD as he turned to watch Johnny slowly walk away. "What? Do you think there’s someone ready to jump us?" 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpMfd3f9ZU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD9U26vnoV
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EFL1qEPtO

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUMbWKpR4
Sam and Jisoo managed to get to the others, and they quickly made their way to the door. Johnny was close and almost got to the storeroom, but he stopped. GD came up right behind him and prayed that Johnny won't spot them. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAxNXOJ4yU
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK99eX4Jac
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CMTlSpdz1

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpT4ZaMs4G

378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M1HRxSgbC
378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH2IGsNif0
Just before the storeroom is a parked blue Sedan. That’s where Mino and the rest hid, hoping that Johnny wasn’t going to reach the car. If he did, he was definitely going to find them. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ho4mR4Fje

Mino bent his head to look round the corner of the car’s rear. GD and Johnny were going for the exit now. And he thought it best that they leave for good. 378Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnVQ7IuqJL
