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
375Please respect copyright.PENANArWjZAa28jw
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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAV6F810bEZr
"I agree," said Christine.375Please respect copyright.PENANANXttpMua6m
375Please respect copyright.PENANAxId9CgbThm
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."375Please respect copyright.PENANAih1i6pK3kr
375Please respect copyright.PENANAZWZk6JyKwf
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."375Please respect copyright.PENANA87gIKmgtcS
375Please respect copyright.PENANAgUmBIjMiy0
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."375Please respect copyright.PENANA91ELtqboiP
375Please respect copyright.PENANALl9gSurA6e
"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

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.375Please respect copyright.PENANAER1wa3KoGh
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.PENANAWiSgs5EDDB
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.375Please respect copyright.PENANAIlDTyuX2z1
375Please respect copyright.PENANAHddLk59d8n
"Please do," said Zoey as she looked around. There were so many people, but so far, no one recognized them. "The last thing I need is a whole mob of fans chasing me down."375Please respect copyright.PENANAI5LsZnZd73
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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAqnsMoqWEM6
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.375Please respect copyright.PENANAphZtNiLbSG
375Please respect copyright.PENANAt2ZbrgT4pC
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.375Please respect copyright.PENANA5AKV9dQJue
375Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q1fbPmXaC
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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAUaa3cffZFu
"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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAsgoxLUvXZu
"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
375Please respect copyright.PENANA0vgpOh0MbE
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."375Please respect copyright.PENANAbT6DELnpjy
375Please respect copyright.PENANAyiZLn1QodH
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."375Please respect copyright.PENANAmGkVqVdpP7
375Please respect copyright.PENANAUHNrcsXK1e
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."375Please respect copyright.PENANAJ70Tz1jSsA
375Please respect copyright.PENANAGWRkudxlNm
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.375Please respect copyright.PENANAyqrQjzcU86
375Please respect copyright.PENANAFGeBASv1WY
"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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAPdr1VaxnHD
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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAFHEDuWE55f
"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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAwvOobozpYe
"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
375Please respect copyright.PENANAVYrjSWNBOK
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
