​​​​​​​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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8G129HT5y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nmJczl63e
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLr80LZAe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzDTioG4jD
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie6m2Vpwfx
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWyfMnBEIv
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWknEgTfK5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapXoGewSU
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaEvVYREsc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuelG0zUh7
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCBpgWKlhH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP21BHM9tKi
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Cg7DfHgc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerfaXIFXdR
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiDTyNHnLe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjrFRcN7KQ
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd5Xo0Sxzw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnebH7xfi
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ynPLhuU5K
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMyy6N2GVl
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nbPhyyKnH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGIo8DYfgt
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hUl1AxonS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpRqEPEqm4
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYPC9MtOGb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl33JM0MoTN
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUCz50Z11R
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjj4bLhIn
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmuX8NFMxT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTPuzRZCFB
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp77Gvv1UDl
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EbbtifSHi
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPDtyyDR7b
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVh00Wu7mn
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iHfwvHEIH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaHeF60ppC
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KdnUITcmo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ORhXqOaQ
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYzZYnzjB1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTflNtmnDKJ
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NyIqgxHWZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2bN9BPYH4
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HTqELSee
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD0Pvm6BhD
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghyM8WUPGm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZxNovOsi8
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnuOk5zvbA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cushmyjOi
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIIdX7cOnc
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSo7uTZiz
"No, tell me. What's going on?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLm4Sxgg27
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD2hZdltYD
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzURpmYnELL
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW0b6x8gH7
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbD7euyEg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5noifyLEf
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJcjzFMei
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TSDbTdDm8
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGMyzNT7Hz
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1RKfHNJA2
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZGeDb4N0h
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjpfBXM93z
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFR1DWh3uk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiitigY8NZ
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzWMnJ06vi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF22EwYBn2I
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWvbkHyy01
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FjYjJKGYT
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsLqNwTYix
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGLjSOmZ6R
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi275U4Xva
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS7ehcvAV3
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf371f6c3f
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRaJ82a0ou
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZucu3sBAD5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRhpvaY33h
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP55Y0aB8uf
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rX0mNxpGn
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliBU3jZpT
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ068YWrhS
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZGCUB3M2B
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDm8YKB1Pg
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8aBhKTjC5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekegPwGkx
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKsdkEVtb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO5ki4Uh6d
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNHRIZdiEQ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcdzWEuSFk
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Cu9PJXjj
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICw0Y5HOsk
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJwS8kGBkV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WxxXQmvoL
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJgWqmFJD2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdWxVxbg66
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJzxZlg3KO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJSZQ1iyjv
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN0pxhSegs
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZNCa67Tw
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkhUmr9b9n
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffVWSPMKWd
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGipczjhCF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29xr92tLU
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2nVtBMqdF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDQotK9myB
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVi7HZcT6h
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiP4nQunTT
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJZxfVENE8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIpDgcT7qX
"We lie as usual," I answered.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHKPtByvUe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcW29xgj0j
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGtM0fBrb4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNWINs7ew9
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVEpDvvqN2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLO2uU3epo
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVrFhABsbF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfThQ40xysg
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBiZqSMPtm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsntCtJXZ1
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiN5dOM4nj
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCM63Bd5s3
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyEwCgeLR2
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFqOfDQe32
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb5PY0s0FG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY1VzaqSPQ
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJFUprxFwB
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxRRX2CpNU
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu7tjLWOea
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV5uvBQxSg
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjb06SgSro
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOYdtoGzcE
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMdiEERmRm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0RA9T16nN
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhhLLTYgwi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dccY3W6eB
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMimYmbP9b
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3v6xAPHib
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx5LZtrHkC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHi6CRIoG7
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8oLKBYChO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepkzcinpGl
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknZiMsLG6V
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdsH4UADSh
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VfgbyYT8
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtZtIOQn5s
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSqY5QJPCJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32okFArO89
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD25j6iEsUm
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyXto9P7ho
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoqvracVPJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1yCZkqacX
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLkxyoLPse
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f7a3hZ003
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ1iHnYZZw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c153c8rHn
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNILRqFSA1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2EQyBp7Ot
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RQ06NDWFW
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnkZn25vS0
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOxr9JtBPi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqHWJKh6VW
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VqDQFKDU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHEtw7Tuok
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2sFlM9QJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MXvUYLKc
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT8MdIaI3G
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkq6grOuv
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfUtb5iySD
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWwylZmOYp
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp24lrTqA1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tFf1W1lmZ
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPecqaBur
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrNbUJOnRS
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkf7kefapw

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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6CQezn3md
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUuJGrrC2d
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAOpmOWz6C
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjettXqZ1
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAQEWEVvLi
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W77yFjEoK
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP65sOGVyw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BEFPKu6Dz
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0xpnzrUo
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfy5hjsULw
"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?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFDbPbuoA
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7gGqHB2tX
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauy6OUvD2q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHikk1J0yEA
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9eClTVwVQ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU8r3SX9x0
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiq4lGS5uU
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7vFwp31KC
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfUO79yim
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr9uA7G0BD
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJKkyRaAGp
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bY2pWLbIc
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqjIECJRy0

"I agree," said Christine.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXttpMua6m

"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlRX1PvbhM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ADGb5bOq
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHjPkdgY5
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fIrrpYBJp
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz8QkeXHgC
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02VBNvxMC5
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGI7zQcwae

375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqunkmpM7YO
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyte0ARJSxF

375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67LNXtdbF
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ7BGUQF0i

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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pieTiFsQM

"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7xg82xhEO
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsM5k1xBRz
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8ANH0eMe
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9GRUe0Scw
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrk6zjXm69

"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FeF6PVhV

"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJrpLhdx0S

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxzdGWaRg
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINu5w42CM7
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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUTkg1hv1Z
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gWAeLlYPw
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRcfchDit4

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrQjzcU86

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgqrBdr2Z
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYThRz4NZfc
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbRL7e4jqP
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERKrMnHEeG
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXBS2M2iSZ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RBaxIJF5P
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlORwOUK4R
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQfvVVriQb
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yGdETbCnf

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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd53wVflj4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTnHcVxIG1
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS5TICsNPS
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjV33da8Qp
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A7f1n2YCw
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iVrWuJBU3
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv0rrqXlBa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiZS9wi9VM
"How do I look?" he asked me.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX6z9WYqlV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2yWeEZjIy
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP18KbBLhac
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTKln2B5D
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiyEwPUH1
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm80O4pldKT
"What about me?" Jimin asked.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpTLSSzeM
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXr91NFiU
"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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiSAAcAZlJ
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhXBWmGNU
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNw6nrBB0y
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyrB1gJWrI
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4slppi03Z

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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecdlCgSXSs

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRxZa2ROoY
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvovQVkpWQj
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW3F7arOlb
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wWMjPVJnU
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJapIvEwOv
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwB1QcIMmA
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOd31xiMXa
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOadVEA3ybD
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMhkqdnqvJ

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfcZNNUW2R
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo6Z5X28Ig
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwdkoiCd7q
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhcxMTozoA
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ee2fRu7bV
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBFvx2LWK1
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoyhpzHefF
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCcztSPblR
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJAQ4dMzvG
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2CIef81QF
"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."375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWH2J4fk1m
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZngFUu6vC
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SvAr0OiY4
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaP3RESOAw
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fK9jNsqgH
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFLiSFVSh2
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddBHVL5yHk
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6rvNsiqs
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.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mHr3ua5ln
375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDTHTxKRQP
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH1SsuAAiQ
