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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAqOAjonz94R
484Please respect copyright.PENANA3rmzGF5j7R
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.484Please respect copyright.PENANA9OY0cm4bFH
484Please respect copyright.PENANAZH1cxXIUDe
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAotagCRzxQM
484Please respect copyright.PENANAYLqS71tXJ4
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."484Please respect copyright.PENANAErwEByAtYO
484Please respect copyright.PENANA71ZPxoG0X3
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAXdbubNSIt2
484Please respect copyright.PENANAb3b0YtQRmm
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."484Please respect copyright.PENANA0R0zCdVjJO
484Please respect copyright.PENANA44MkAINfVX
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAUuyPM99i6d
484Please respect copyright.PENANA2X38r88Sok
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.484Please respect copyright.PENANAnNfh73EtGh
484Please respect copyright.PENANA5jfqFfGJSa
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?484Please respect copyright.PENANAB1HpFC1WrK
484Please respect copyright.PENANAhoxMeBpTEP
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.484Please respect copyright.PENANAjumfbE4tmy
484Please respect copyright.PENANAntVmMg2NFJ
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."484Please respect copyright.PENANAauwWYEtPMX
484Please respect copyright.PENANAeqgD2MNFgr
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPA6rVg1e
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvYQiEHYF8V
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAK0lrffO8za
484Please respect copyright.PENANAUHZsEGOOxx
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.484Please respect copyright.PENANAQY6cfZ92tK
484Please respect copyright.PENANAhNxCEDNLya
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9hb5EM5f
484Please respect copyright.PENANAsrRW1DqNI5
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."484Please respect copyright.PENANAw2KABDOocL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAP19GancGsM
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANACwjadfvXrP
484Please respect copyright.PENANADtNrvSpCYx
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."484Please respect copyright.PENANAbePSXrWQQx
484Please respect copyright.PENANAYzi6W5J4ZO
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAVj14CHajJd
484Please respect copyright.PENANAuQvJ9xuW46
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAxhvmLdjVhx
484Please respect copyright.PENANAYZWZbjd1Wh
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."484Please respect copyright.PENANAcMJQ6G7HtJ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAWNCxcCjcXm
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."484Please respect copyright.PENANADieQYt44I9
484Please respect copyright.PENANAsMHp36n8AC
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."484Please respect copyright.PENANAzhMe6t24b4
484Please respect copyright.PENANAKsFjIHNRss
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"484Please respect copyright.PENANA6ghUAVGW28
484Please respect copyright.PENANAdqRjVwIjh8
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."484Please respect copyright.PENANAMRacWXdMJ4
484Please respect copyright.PENANALrKJnCr7Xn
"No, tell me. What's going on?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAmPBRGFafhb
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvnt2mPnPml
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAetEk8u41Tm
484Please respect copyright.PENANAAUrvpypNM4
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAGKUlw6hQVF
484Please respect copyright.PENANAlLAHNFladN
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANACn7779VNnT
484Please respect copyright.PENANAu1f6bvtJb6
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAXyV1qOfCvx
484Please respect copyright.PENANAg7UngFPvJS
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.484Please respect copyright.PENANAc2HAfYNn1n
484Please respect copyright.PENANAN5fyD9iFLa
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAcGeHWHtYpQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANA94VhCy5O3Q
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."484Please respect copyright.PENANAoyNewXaJMK
484Please respect copyright.PENANADWHfYfkyQ0
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."484Please respect copyright.PENANAKjbq5dSX9C
484Please respect copyright.PENANAppH3lvA4q8
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.484Please respect copyright.PENANAarIi1vyl0H
484Please respect copyright.PENANAAecI9Y9alS
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.484Please respect copyright.PENANAQF0RjKFU8L
484Please respect copyright.PENANAJgupoaPXvV
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."484Please respect copyright.PENANA4qdAxMzovL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAqA9oRaT9mH
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.484Please respect copyright.PENANA1qQ9SW5XSo
484Please respect copyright.PENANAj4BryZqqlg
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAQdAsF0Crir
484Please respect copyright.PENANAt6vXxYTK27
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."484Please respect copyright.PENANABMQHfe6MWe
484Please respect copyright.PENANAZMu8R2Yrjo
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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAaZb74Irmxy
484Please respect copyright.PENANAe5GKO5UKkg
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."484Please respect copyright.PENANAvBZbevkLZW
484Please respect copyright.PENANAcS6rhWAnfQ
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAmDR6rF1Jdb
484Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ8eB6ncmN
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."484Please respect copyright.PENANAmZRLCpUtnN
484Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZ9sGDRlE
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.484Please respect copyright.PENANABhpQFLCos8
484Please respect copyright.PENANAI00nBvKnGq
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAzujlc3HlHE
484Please respect copyright.PENANASoS09hN0To
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAHH6oHTCRgz
484Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ufaq7R78
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAfr53IBPwRr
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWcKDDeWl
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.484Please respect copyright.PENANAvU4RvzLInk
484Please respect copyright.PENANABxaeQBjieT
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.484Please respect copyright.PENANAejhojzQeRq
484Please respect copyright.PENANAQlPmL3yzLk
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANANGcFFtQrWG
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0g0yDDdwod
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAVXrUvaTMYs
484Please respect copyright.PENANAS1SbN0sjQa
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANA7qWa4SAgKZ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAz5DOxRRWls
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.484Please respect copyright.PENANAugxsnQFPwr
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvxE6ows2Km
"We lie as usual," I answered.484Please respect copyright.PENANAOY1BnHhO4e
484Please respect copyright.PENANANP70KtQL4B
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."484Please respect copyright.PENANAhL2mh0lRFi
484Please respect copyright.PENANAAbB23UdBuF
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.484Please respect copyright.PENANAocUl85m01C
484Please respect copyright.PENANADc3QRrsUd1
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAUu84ALMJwI
484Please respect copyright.PENANAijw9zbvrhu
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.484Please respect copyright.PENANAfXLpSUChEM
484Please respect copyright.PENANAr7CTWjx1Y8
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.484Please respect copyright.PENANAvPCWqcOVUQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6BxqhWoi2
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."484Please respect copyright.PENANAC59auA8qQL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAI5GYiXLOJw
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.484Please respect copyright.PENANAqa40oTOkhQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANA4F2aCHMpSr
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAuTc3kyt8Xv
484Please respect copyright.PENANAO6wlpyZi41
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAIIa0RfuXFk
484Please respect copyright.PENANAEggRuPDGBv
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAzNPpktswHL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAmflHFZlYrC
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANANfiZYAAl3w
484Please respect copyright.PENANAjD16whwDoP
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANA8Uuktg1Pcd
484Please respect copyright.PENANA05lHbeGS5E
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."484Please respect copyright.PENANA0cAslgH2BM
484Please respect copyright.PENANAGdPsvSCVpF
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAcnnkmKgKA7
484Please respect copyright.PENANAL2VkXZitdl
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."484Please respect copyright.PENANA22jIhMmkBr
484Please respect copyright.PENANARTxkLPMqbi
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAV2kGs66KVj
484Please respect copyright.PENANA3MeKUgRJYt
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.484Please respect copyright.PENANA7wpjgXO3oB
484Please respect copyright.PENANAgZtx0lRcrg
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAeng5roUzZ2
484Please respect copyright.PENANAYYAqwQgOpU
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAtTBmfDXTId
484Please respect copyright.PENANAGQqbNzBzIx
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAuNjLMNdV2p
484Please respect copyright.PENANAhV72usi7eg
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."484Please respect copyright.PENANA5p0yJLcKXk
484Please respect copyright.PENANA5h4cB8A8MH
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."484Please respect copyright.PENANAm4rtWiaMrH
484Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qu5I8priu
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.484Please respect copyright.PENANAElVKM6PlT4
484Please respect copyright.PENANA3OYp2MQKL2
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAf3dsjCZJRq
484Please respect copyright.PENANAKBAwIS4VBj
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."484Please respect copyright.PENANA2GG9GEuOag
484Please respect copyright.PENANAT4IjNt1FYG
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."484Please respect copyright.PENANAykznJ9sEIU
484Please respect copyright.PENANAHoRgMfARZt
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANASFugsa0Cp3
484Please respect copyright.PENANApMmNg2uSZC
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."484Please respect copyright.PENANAxPSZq1ulad
484Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6C7Uxdpww
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.484Please respect copyright.PENANAiz35HQo5yc
484Please respect copyright.PENANAgf6X8zyM04
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.484Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2Y3blJAPy
484Please respect copyright.PENANAqYeHuMJvMY
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAt4A3JH1A7T
484Please respect copyright.PENANAg6T2vMuVx9
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."484Please respect copyright.PENANAb4GtIqJc1d
484Please respect copyright.PENANAT76IYjPhbD
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAGafZfNe6qh
484Please respect copyright.PENANAosfAXK1kkh
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.484Please respect copyright.PENANApF7lyP8eXA
484Please respect copyright.PENANAqV4sksqQtP
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.484Please respect copyright.PENANAJludq402OQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvV89OvRgZo
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."484Please respect copyright.PENANA6gknjfYt8a
484Please respect copyright.PENANAVoz7AsFHXj
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAAf8BYmT9EM
484Please respect copyright.PENANAbtmnrn9b7L
"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?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3pGySIfSc
484Please respect copyright.PENANACPThzZnace
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.484Please respect copyright.PENANAL8HB4OoaML
484Please respect copyright.PENANAkMeQbkZ6Gd
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.484Please respect copyright.PENANAQoA3JXLt9F
484Please respect copyright.PENANAzrduKzq8yE
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANALkYNrGHAme
484Please respect copyright.PENANAjvs2XUkzMV
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAhf8UVc9GNZ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAB8VY2XMOtU
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.484Please respect copyright.PENANAiopxFPnv7w
484Please respect copyright.PENANA2jXSI6zgy5
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.484Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Dul7rUFy
484Please respect copyright.PENANAUDBiTGZ03G
"I agree," said Christine.484Please respect copyright.PENANAQk068syR7A
484Please respect copyright.PENANAjcziAc19nD
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."484Please respect copyright.PENANA2M51iZATtu
484Please respect copyright.PENANAA9kghWbFq0
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."484Please respect copyright.PENANAmdrDK3IshY
484Please respect copyright.PENANAIFUxHERjRy
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."484Please respect copyright.PENANAe0DRw6UJbQ
484Please respect copyright.PENANAGMair7nnrI
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."484Please respect copyright.PENANAvJnhdK1pQp
484Please respect copyright.PENANA0d7B8oIau1
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."484Please respect copyright.PENANArCojFrlcfk
484Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Cy8fg6ch
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."484Please respect copyright.PENANATrygqmp6Ki
484Please respect copyright.PENANA7nR6DYWNpc
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAhuTBPjuKUi

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.484Please respect copyright.PENANA1p5mcmZ8iI
484Please respect copyright.PENANAyxeg3Gv9dm
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAU89hK4mand
484Please respect copyright.PENANAs8MdUerU40
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.484Please respect copyright.PENANAWZP6tjyOOt
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMaqqwwixnC
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAiDc4x4UPRk
484Please respect copyright.PENANAAywzMdIo0w
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANApJr35WYf3l
484Please respect copyright.PENANAFlV6KneeXr
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.484Please respect copyright.PENANAnT5sL6gxaM
484Please respect copyright.PENANAjgqx21GBlF
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.484Please respect copyright.PENANA37UhzKty85
484Please respect copyright.PENANA4wuWDIXft1
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAOdBvVV9exP
484Please respect copyright.PENANAIB6D7jcdaE
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAKhZhJSkZgU
484Please respect copyright.PENANAlGOqVNDgau
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAR7HQgVCXMr
484Please respect copyright.PENANAccilbIcyWA
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAmnG3zaXlLh

"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAoXGGxVIK4R

"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAgO30f1sgNN
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMJPBCSX7RO
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAUQeBuhm9tH
484Please respect copyright.PENANAeglQXouNkO
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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAP59nyF9ubC
484Please respect copyright.PENANAenU9NusXCT
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."484Please respect copyright.PENANAW8dISfWtyg
484Please respect copyright.PENANAD9G56DBooN
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."484Please respect copyright.PENANADfTIxmS15N
484Please respect copyright.PENANAPKNd8Ge5bI
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."484Please respect copyright.PENANAqKrNrqRr4C
484Please respect copyright.PENANAm7giRSIP6Q
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."484Please respect copyright.PENANAqvZY6CpdAk
484Please respect copyright.PENANAyAPYcAD4mV
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.484Please respect copyright.PENANA0cahcNsxEV
484Please respect copyright.PENANANWQCXK9og7
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."484Please respect copyright.PENANA1tbVDQMUs0
484Please respect copyright.PENANAdGrdggeXRW
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANA8MpdZKQYPV
484Please respect copyright.PENANAzQpl9DR7Aw
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.484Please respect copyright.PENANAATQRn63rpo
484Please respect copyright.PENANAs9CB075cV4
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."484Please respect copyright.PENANAQBON4nmupR
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMLrjaQczVc
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAFrXFZWSNGU

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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAlAQ1f2GKlH
484Please respect copyright.PENANAXTsX19efZl
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.484Please respect copyright.PENANAXlZrIGO9Du
484Please respect copyright.PENANAnKVgQtDAvz
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."484Please respect copyright.PENANAfzByx08GGp
484Please respect copyright.PENANAYRHhe88iyQ
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAexupEWDbCY
484Please respect copyright.PENANASqDYWO1O75
"How do I look?" he asked me.484Please respect copyright.PENANA1fvgKq7btP
484Please respect copyright.PENANAHPiSzaDpFc
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."484Please respect copyright.PENANAe5HmTinYoP
484Please respect copyright.PENANA8U4jnueHa7
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAnA5T3VrYDt
484Please respect copyright.PENANA12mwNxtv6k
"What about me?" Jimin asked.484Please respect copyright.PENANARPUkVQZEX1
484Please respect copyright.PENANAl2n7bw8vIl
"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.484Please respect copyright.PENANA37XtYp3TaK
484Please respect copyright.PENANAubIoBDebQq
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAitgC1tT5YP
484Please respect copyright.PENANAcoBd4B5nn5
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."484Please respect copyright.PENANAryUmOycHZ1
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMINwfdzrkb
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAqZkWmd5xHd
484Please respect copyright.PENANAuqNSBAWwjb
"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."484Please respect copyright.PENANAwcVDOomc56
484Please respect copyright.PENANAtDmpQG8rj6
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"484Please respect copyright.PENANAZfKr7NT92q
484Please respect copyright.PENANAQ67HV0BGXF
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed484Please respect copyright.PENANAnQk1S2iGZu
484Please respect copyright.PENANAcl8yC8azl5
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAUVFXChA4BA
484Please respect copyright.PENANAimsEU9alyP
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.484Please respect copyright.PENANAftMfyz9UmW
484Please respect copyright.PENANAMF2jyAzfl8
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.484Please respect copyright.PENANAZzjT8YJB3w
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvgRrzunPP0
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANAFacb37czYp
484Please respect copyright.PENANAVpG5KaEqnR
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAHZzqodIxvx
484Please respect copyright.PENANAG5kAVqhEYH
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dl2rARTTo
484Please respect copyright.PENANASnrJayNFYM
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.484Please respect copyright.PENANAKIdel9Bs1f
484Please respect copyright.PENANAvI54osOlAa
"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."484Please respect copyright.PENANA20fHDwNPAL
484Please respect copyright.PENANAzgHUhf8pkK
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.484Please respect copyright.PENANAKhRsXAVry9
484Please respect copyright.PENANAoCupzmCHIv
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAiXQlJhEriK
484Please respect copyright.PENANADyDm6IbzvA
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.484Please respect copyright.PENANAPMoGHfTVgC
484Please respect copyright.PENANALEk7z5nkh0
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.484Please respect copyright.PENANAtZqj34OfFP
484Please respect copyright.PENANAdsJFpkOYZS
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.484Please respect copyright.PENANA6eC9TlgjhV
484Please respect copyright.PENANAoen2wh9wDZ
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
