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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAwQMps4K9RC
392Please respect copyright.PENANAjVnqxOVxdP
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.392Please respect copyright.PENANAQkaFHUgBW8
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWLd4IuV0R0
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAydYV3QXOvC
392Please respect copyright.PENANA4bmS23M4q2
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."392Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZEgb4P6Ir
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkOUDmztzei
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAb9q7pmMYVN
392Please respect copyright.PENANAbNYQXtBsxb
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."392Please respect copyright.PENANAQDnHsOReUg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ZT21IZcI
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAiPRgsRyAmo
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvTBHizvUHj
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.392Please respect copyright.PENANAvZwWqxbo6I
392Please respect copyright.PENANAyeBrrT88WT
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?392Please respect copyright.PENANAolmt4tGKEU
392Please respect copyright.PENANA64TPVpxRSf
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.392Please respect copyright.PENANAIJEVjTCrAb
392Please respect copyright.PENANAROKX8GK9Ws
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."392Please respect copyright.PENANABH8BeG0XrT
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfewn2bSMGg
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAcBTHYXttmV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAgi4r0suYJV
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANA3uQoxhqcFJ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYaliHhiFs4
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.392Please respect copyright.PENANA2xyhtQS2UG
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXaSItKa6eg
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANALf4uInkjJ6
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWmN6ZN2ISf
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."392Please respect copyright.PENANA02yjda1awy
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWj56CEkKpY
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANA6AnUd2Ad8R
392Please respect copyright.PENANAgyJMMiEsHv
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."392Please respect copyright.PENANARqQNoDNFMi
392Please respect copyright.PENANAGctWpYIdNP
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAa09IthUKqM
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcXNociVWZX
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAdokz7E8I3w
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXA3YQvqVWb
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."392Please respect copyright.PENANAGItUqXXNo7
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKzhwYNRk4a
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."392Please respect copyright.PENANAbMwzxiyFOD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcxjD4NIsdq
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."392Please respect copyright.PENANA9hDEtHNbkT
392Please respect copyright.PENANA1PTxHc2x1S
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAl2AERqJ8Pe
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkLlVxym3QG
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."392Please respect copyright.PENANAHTvcEpwE1n
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfT76i0ITu1
"No, tell me. What's going on?"392Please respect copyright.PENANA0jsWE4Ir2M
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcwKEz6eqOv
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA8bkjjZDtJD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPZcv6B9Kmt
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAtfJuhmwB8N
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHnarBZKOI5
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA9rHnteTQdg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcC6SnDQ7R1
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANA5nffiSyMor
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvwsqC2dHjB
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.392Please respect copyright.PENANAhvYw5eP8n9
392Please respect copyright.PENANAu3Pa2MWTPe
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAuGqOgUqYAD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAo6xPmSCfOu
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."392Please respect copyright.PENANA6h2GwEolxW
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlKMlEKLBrn
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."392Please respect copyright.PENANApxPnlYXu75
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHo1TvfQArY
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.392Please respect copyright.PENANA6xyOFq5tAt
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKa453x11Pa
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.392Please respect copyright.PENANAkhwGYYLVMA
392Please respect copyright.PENANARAsBvw55Fn
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."392Please respect copyright.PENANAzRzfCvP21x
392Please respect copyright.PENANABfFgfCghty
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.392Please respect copyright.PENANAJFikdDFHME
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHVWo2NqYbU
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAZFTmMkmvYF
392Please respect copyright.PENANA6XK7cva6va
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."392Please respect copyright.PENANAdt5980kTty
392Please respect copyright.PENANAEVHjpyBCFL
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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAphiyx9BNdV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMKakcB7eYT
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."392Please respect copyright.PENANA07eK2To4dt
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlEJz5ojdXq
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"392Please respect copyright.PENANALNmAHeGMvY
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7oX6dk3Nbc
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."392Please respect copyright.PENANA162JooO4kH
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYOlNa2iMnE
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAYrO8ogli6a
392Please respect copyright.PENANAo8gAexWDVw
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANA6mw7KkSEcw
392Please respect copyright.PENANAAiDdJk2gud
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAOMhzrFgY2e
392Please respect copyright.PENANAzUzzv0SIDk
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAJFw7bGpUos
392Please respect copyright.PENANA4k6kwEUFkD
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.392Please respect copyright.PENANANznuTR1L5L
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFOwH3Oai9Q
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.392Please respect copyright.PENANA3KYmSWMDA3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaREHXqKd1G
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAXfjYLXMdD3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAiYkdmpETqx
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAqjLUnAHgZ4
392Please respect copyright.PENANAK83ycZaCpN
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAKa9n1R3XVI
392Please respect copyright.PENANATC4X7L81QV
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAvUQz3M1UkS
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7163THcv6Z
"We lie as usual," I answered.392Please respect copyright.PENANAJzyQQGrRNo
392Please respect copyright.PENANAAX3dqyoppM
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."392Please respect copyright.PENANAFfJdOVWU1O
392Please respect copyright.PENANAigHD0E3adV
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.392Please respect copyright.PENANAb2wntBA6xl
392Please respect copyright.PENANAu451LT876f
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAvs9kcL2IFw
392Please respect copyright.PENANAANl6zMEUDY
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.392Please respect copyright.PENANArago7IpVpk
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7YFzLfaBEk
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.392Please respect copyright.PENANAw6yn198FeN
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVifYN0MVBw
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."392Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ib0URngjz
392Please respect copyright.PENANAHZr3ySX34B
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.392Please respect copyright.PENANA3rXgGz8TaP
392Please respect copyright.PENANAjf2U1uVkoz
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAdf3ejwrnaQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUnk5ZpaIB9
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANA68D9qAPRZv
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdXri32bIUq
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANATNF7zaWXiT
392Please respect copyright.PENANATGCSo3kRv1
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAja6YfZusRU
392Please respect copyright.PENANA84pb32KJS0
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA4N5HVrbIfQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANA8U24hEmM2C
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."392Please respect copyright.PENANADTbh1L7vcX
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKGzFII4OP1
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAhA8euFMS4s
392Please respect copyright.PENANAw0CgDkXs9E
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."392Please respect copyright.PENANATy1b3rJiyx
392Please respect copyright.PENANA10q46NTS2K
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAGJQza4Sbrx
392Please respect copyright.PENANAvltMRGbAdO
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.392Please respect copyright.PENANAx2E5xnd9zL
392Please respect copyright.PENANA6F6Q1SOq4g
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAkCIfkM6or7
392Please respect copyright.PENANAu7VGz4Knuy
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAffjueAsiXD
392Please respect copyright.PENANA0WRrSYijjt
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANATklM7T5LpQ
392Please respect copyright.PENANAmRHgYK0JCK
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."392Please respect copyright.PENANArwfzKbfRZK
392Please respect copyright.PENANARgnS5JyUwX
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."392Please respect copyright.PENANACkp576Rswq
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9HUFG2AhVo
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.392Please respect copyright.PENANAai5WuE9Bir
392Please respect copyright.PENANAAjuVIUiPKh
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA4dDkfhEPHp
392Please respect copyright.PENANAVZP6H0x5r9
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."392Please respect copyright.PENANAnrL6sM19wy
392Please respect copyright.PENANAATQkelDc2I
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."392Please respect copyright.PENANACftqEeBGrG
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdlqYASZK20
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAFGvWaxNA6X
392Please respect copyright.PENANAglBk03mh50
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."392Please respect copyright.PENANAm7sQUAnunA
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtNGehSUp77
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.392Please respect copyright.PENANAnQnOjIsHRc
392Please respect copyright.PENANAzBLYqE80pd
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANArBf9LCnLXK
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXLUQsDnyje
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4cse0TUd
392Please respect copyright.PENANAQI3NmVBE6U
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."392Please respect copyright.PENANAexNKsFtvd4
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtPuSR86HZG
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA8GkiXatWZx
392Please respect copyright.PENANAfigJaCVHVU
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.392Please respect copyright.PENANAcI2hoTkufZ
392Please respect copyright.PENANARUprwHLwHB
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAsy9nXXPNWS
392Please respect copyright.PENANAe3zCRgW3Tu
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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAxOT9RyYHOf
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUUK7wUJKJF
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANADwMuoNwMl0
392Please respect copyright.PENANAM1fwDYZdJs
"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?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAxc6n9vPfXY
392Please respect copyright.PENANABCTbyt25ah
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.392Please respect copyright.PENANAFzHETz6Gd3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJA7K2mxqFV
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.392Please respect copyright.PENANAs49Q4HsPfb
392Please respect copyright.PENANAN8I5uvEyqO
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANARnxlxwVV9M
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7KE1kOMPLx
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANArA5I52yauz
392Please respect copyright.PENANAEY20IzA5Gr
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.392Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xu3V8TdQR
392Please respect copyright.PENANAWXMd5QxHxn
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.392Please respect copyright.PENANAWKL63er1dl
392Please respect copyright.PENANATFocTUha0i
"I agree," said Christine.392Please respect copyright.PENANABBhOimRGTa
392Please respect copyright.PENANAqaLUpKcoQN
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."392Please respect copyright.PENANAtz1bgfx9Cz
392Please respect copyright.PENANAYTTXqItcwh
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."392Please respect copyright.PENANABB2wgCxMsO
392Please respect copyright.PENANAkZwDHZAmDb
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."392Please respect copyright.PENANAln5rwNzPZw
392Please respect copyright.PENANATDxky7RB74
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."392Please respect copyright.PENANAc1YSGaZKeB
392Please respect copyright.PENANA6C8PVQTfGz
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."392Please respect copyright.PENANAvnI8Kwl5g1
392Please respect copyright.PENANAJRK7LAt9B5
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."392Please respect copyright.PENANAJCMbRdSj7f
392Please respect copyright.PENANAFu3V4X7rY0
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA7v79vyURJg

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.392Please respect copyright.PENANAO26TzGGoLW
392Please respect copyright.PENANAy2iecVPYNk
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAi5JJ6K0zRM
392Please respect copyright.PENANAbWgkuCLDcO
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.392Please respect copyright.PENANA4FxYD8BPFo
392Please respect copyright.PENANA96AqPBzY67
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANA1FUzJPSw6f
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPqxlvvHyg5
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAB1x31wC3CD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAi96BEXl5JH
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.392Please respect copyright.PENANATR8qHDCqhH
392Please respect copyright.PENANArqgGjBR4iQ
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.392Please respect copyright.PENANAWHKB0yp6Dh
392Please respect copyright.PENANAthZAhfMPCU
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAt3gS6ZSrzs
392Please respect copyright.PENANAduuN4ImPEL
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAbUVkmfulq4
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeo8DAUhzZm
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAKBilEUXQIm
392Please respect copyright.PENANAOifcD0uF5y
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANABbYpTCkO2t

"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA0o6S4n9zDD
392Please respect copyright.PENANAq2q5eTxnIH
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAutcOxMAnvC
392Please respect copyright.PENANAlIwkDKJDGU
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAHz7sw7nTMv
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9bImffxsFX
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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAjs4wQSWfW2
392Please respect copyright.PENANAm6RLAuVWke
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."392Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9UWHbPNj3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAAVGwhzd6Tk
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."392Please respect copyright.PENANAQhna63k0mj
392Please respect copyright.PENANARc6I5QF45n
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."392Please respect copyright.PENANAW74K5ncOaP
392Please respect copyright.PENANAXLWeNIvbud
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."392Please respect copyright.PENANA6nNykaQKr3
392Please respect copyright.PENANAARUqWO2OZw
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.392Please respect copyright.PENANAN1bmyEaxoV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPjUY9XzIqy
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."392Please respect copyright.PENANAd21pqpiXq4
392Please respect copyright.PENANAo6VPGxKd8R
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAPHHqCoCwFC
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcyOUxFqbIo
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.392Please respect copyright.PENANAXbDAQVU1S3
392Please respect copyright.PENANANKcqbBzgDN
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."392Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKIZEQjMg
392Please respect copyright.PENANAxpYuqmEJFn
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAdHjJW9Y7XN

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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA0w0Zjz5rz2
392Please respect copyright.PENANAaLbmdd51Ia
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.392Please respect copyright.PENANAWWrbg68i1U
392Please respect copyright.PENANAwZWwrkoNe3
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."392Please respect copyright.PENANAEHfwu5MrBX
392Please respect copyright.PENANAdBMFDwFHHy
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA14XrELtIrx
392Please respect copyright.PENANAK9nuNgw5Y2
"How do I look?" he asked me.392Please respect copyright.PENANA5tqxL4NzHE
392Please respect copyright.PENANAKcGZSXeAGt
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."392Please respect copyright.PENANACfYuVB9b2H
392Please respect copyright.PENANAiD9BXoHxpw
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA3eG66KXZe7
392Please respect copyright.PENANArYSXjQjwuV
"What about me?" Jimin asked.392Please respect copyright.PENANAsEigiLs9kl
392Please respect copyright.PENANA1I3IfseGMt
"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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAGxqlm9WKVW
392Please respect copyright.PENANAtrGYn4mnQq
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANANi7lKGqwwc
392Please respect copyright.PENANAMVRsTDdHfC
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."392Please respect copyright.PENANAYAhsfb18iY
392Please respect copyright.PENANAeTn74iA8yZ
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAxSZTlD5yAB
392Please respect copyright.PENANAUNZSczNf9o
"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."392Please respect copyright.PENANAewvuireUIB
392Please respect copyright.PENANAO8iYxdpv7T
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"392Please respect copyright.PENANAeAjh4L5vzk
392Please respect copyright.PENANAcWrXBivVvo
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed392Please respect copyright.PENANA7UCCl9cFrR
392Please respect copyright.PENANAURdEi49sPU
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANA7Iwtjya4lC
392Please respect copyright.PENANAl81wQfkeuO
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.392Please respect copyright.PENANAp7dpl8dXtE
392Please respect copyright.PENANAimucwSrvAo
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.392Please respect copyright.PENANA5ORs0K1Rpp
392Please respect copyright.PENANA7zGF3PTVji
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANA4n7skko9Ew
392Please respect copyright.PENANAh7QY4lQbGe
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANANqMLmq1ymN
392Please respect copyright.PENANA63KBb8iXQS
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAtJcdx3sgSD
392Please respect copyright.PENANA5wtt0CUfMr
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.392Please respect copyright.PENANAh2F6iNFiEj
392Please respect copyright.PENANA9imNiBPyw7
"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."392Please respect copyright.PENANAgoobaPmE1y
392Please respect copyright.PENANANlGAHwGnbz
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.392Please respect copyright.PENANAYPyq3AZscV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAApr8UXfFf4
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAFLGcFr8FiV
392Please respect copyright.PENANAEHLLIbC7gc
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.392Please respect copyright.PENANAScmirMnFKb
392Please respect copyright.PENANA5L4Nc08xSD
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.392Please respect copyright.PENANAbmze86HC6A
392Please respect copyright.PENANAPgqINEFScN
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.392Please respect copyright.PENANAcPXuMaQZWs
392Please respect copyright.PENANA8NIxTbHHWM
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
