​​​​​​​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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb5BYQ9J9i
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIA2vtJZjp
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwkE9bkj9
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFhpbDJPLA
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpDh6Woczu
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CiGSGth8R
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm7yv5UGxG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPBDnF8e8k
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQDF61Fr9
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafXoLL4bEW
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbzqNo7Mbp
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RpU1089DG
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKiqrrha40
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EqULunPkm
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fcxxNBFHh
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCxSh43sew
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHSlUINnRV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87NACpR9gj
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wx1aiLmPV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf96qkGO22
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXQMHtCF66
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbs48LmHZx
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaww58HD2GW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZCmedPjs3
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhzUWatEqm
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSOVNkOCQy
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5bTDN0nV6
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Wdf3guL8
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeqvmiNlSf
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYZPA4gesL
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgciElTwIrm
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3cJGnQ4Xx
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlqIC47oi7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4upzg5yNr
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHkf0dS2GO
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3D0vwmW0Z
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiEprsiq2m
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52bYoYWTVP
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OwgoQ5T10
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs8pHAxQJy
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E8EOdhVQW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo0jwNfAPy
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxosxzG8x0m
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJv31oorjd
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfX1k3mul4
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUbA59WdmQ
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OX3e3cNzv
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj1F1sfj7R
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Juiilw6oy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAR9lN01kG
"No, tell me. What's going on?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhiClFvkuZ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WXHhjntZn
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo9z85g9Gj
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhozHv8pdn8
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhivOTCNid
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oF9rGwFhf
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGblzXE0tOc
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc6IBOe0YX
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4haxXqY6wg
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklcqKXpvv
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvB6mETjLc
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWefWyNuVs8
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtay8DU4uoN
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QqKUtEv7M
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzvz5y8QYi
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObdaNyZ9M8
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZYLOJH2SG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2qyDWCzcX
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JjM4HEf2o
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQDgHSZOX
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrapTU5QjWW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSnCfZMwcv
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPt1bsVbgj
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ39pZDEvU
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfzGxcMZMx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKaveoBEnl
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZXcYkRAiy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCVBDSyfOj
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBmalB7J1M
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQVoFRFvo1
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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhocSGFnPH
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaXujzsC6u
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuLWOpn3qs
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoo00ufOYY
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZYplqn2H0
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqxCmvrmG
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCxo8Ub566
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM7iaZqYHh
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U9i10sGpB
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcz2ehk1ij
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU53sSdgMic
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp6MxMtIL3
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QfybSEgGv
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4MpSljtVZ
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXRpfldXRV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8lgE41AIY
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqzN6nvlbi
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNilh6N0bN
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmtrYobOSh
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2MtfXctR
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC5ZXlWXSW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ky92eOQUc
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoQBZi0Lq5
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKNRUvddTx
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfitPLGD3UI
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXt8fQuWtZ
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lCl1nIBZj
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXqJ11PMFI
"We lie as usual," I answered.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9LDiOWQh1
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpkXxO1Dfi
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2FrboEfDr
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLgck5G6bl
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1GOQpdTkO
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CJN0fgoPE
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSExUbAQZW
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69JsWQkmp1
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB7tcmoQFj
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTPq9PqEv0
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ119vLH5dj8
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbLj6yW1IU
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxwIm73DBT
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL18KWvV8W
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmmQEjght2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf9Qo7EO8N
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgugOv35m4
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yRwXEKjMV
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgj8GLYo4W
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbbg7jkbVe
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbxn21JEQ6
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPNlPacsnV
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w7qsozGhN
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzU4NS7Tzi
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCHbo0BLL7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPDSM5cOtS
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mpmQi2IL7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriGmiqhUM3
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBiyfBsLmE
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTPferYJKT
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi2ElystiP
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRNkxEMrB7
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat7YBiO487
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50o2EbBaxr
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1r3K4XPgF
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyocKDSM5N
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhM9GBiCQY
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWqwLXknku
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwnlJX1xzF
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7p2nAq3Fv
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq0LK0qyIJ
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJwc95DLxS
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWRJwTtM2t
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceEUqkheCf
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PlUv4LFsd
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5XWAKBxnL
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AR5CfnU4n
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqTGgz8kqd
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80FSjk3wpL
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxPW43govZ
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fLpKuf0pr
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjYbDgkly5
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4AKGmuKtA
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxRctPFhok
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJakWsdj1M2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjFNOIIS68
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrQ2YIkS3A
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVoCDx3QNA
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kXHJxquNL
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0i9WDFRqj
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSzspHKqx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYLdSTPYhF
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSuxcqLc5a
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQjUbzjKl0
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fqY6vYPjg
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDalKAzWWl
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PlYdL4MX7
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgsk2yLDFf
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L4MwHELop
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOCxwc9cKR
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbw080qaCp
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXAEWW5ZZ6
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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dth6FjLnG
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAXNfsgrc0
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dqA4U0Xzw
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj9RjQZYM5
"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?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8wg5HU2nF
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU4RmhV5Hq
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y2ETJHK4U
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPmSnyhy9i
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAA7fV7oiA
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0TdRc7ee
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eTEMUPBhd
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQeMWUEFo9
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XptnzZn8X
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHFjehnjSc
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDwS3nLR46
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SmMKkz4dw
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrBcp5d7bx
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQKZzsX62
"I agree," said Christine.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dSvPc3lbs

"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoorMjjXFgQ

"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefbV8WnPRL
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhsXebQvFg
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLvsOrfDjp
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLmL3VlrGH
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr1Is31NQe
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlDGCsqA7P
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAwKG2KBAe
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR4PW3otcA
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9efLuBgX

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSYk5Euzy
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCSyvSLgr
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M55KRKwVp

353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFaWiuoR63
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLpcGKTFIG

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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEtE0c6O3l

"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldq06j42Wd
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDJWcJJPvY
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpa2f4W61
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjEX3rWxmK
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbJkUBESWu

"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcKRBGouiS

"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPtUvrDrhi

"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX4gxLRhAC
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUADHiQWMO
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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T7wRTdoKe
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeRiG88yJ5
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ebQT4VBEG

"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5NHaOmr6x

"No, they serve other tasty foods too."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGFGHr6rDq
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHndUaZpYu
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnaU1MnYM
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Lots6Dsb
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU42USEe59
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIMmxwDsBs
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuVWN7G4Ek
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaPjPS7vMW
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcmumYmBp4

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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUkmIj97FP
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitgwz17U1D
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoROzAVOj6D
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQpvBHTVw
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhUNYOJdMs
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR0wGPHsqh
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR2MYOOUQf
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWX0HSR6Fz
"How do I look?" he asked me.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2nW66yQVS
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qa1rRPbaT
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo8qt9IWEs
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPfFTiBIVR
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz6FUqcGeR
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh59y1mON4T
"What about me?" Jimin asked.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmEMRScDPV
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytUZY3gbBs
"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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n4u8g60g8
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxULO9mdI
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqKCmgJ6hU
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9W7uxNlRz
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vzsb7VDY

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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCe2g98iQW

"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZL2Lc0VUs

Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgCCQbNsnh
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT8ybuVa1x
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66km5vwBSj
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6RCfbpM2B
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmUgXwjzv3
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PamxJoVTk
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzPBjcxecr

"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi9GGAo2RI
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLMffZV1z2
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2rQyGJx76
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5gKrAXVDE
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2qyWch1Vl
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErI3WHFBoL
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXjG9RrgMt
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh3lYRKj6X
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUDuhNEC4O
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfLv7Jr0O
"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."353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfytfZEg8Dr
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRc9ivsHvU

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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVOPbmyQg0
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip1u8BMl6y
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU17Nf3dcf
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhl8pk22eq
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.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlQqzqWgY2
353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGazHx0aqab
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.353Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbe52OZSsU
