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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAIugTKPoMCX
485Please respect copyright.PENANAC95ktiOXjt
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.485Please respect copyright.PENANAOKieDgxDCL
485Please respect copyright.PENANA9id89UqCUb
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAM4zsSMBNs6
485Please respect copyright.PENANATus7muqvkj
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."485Please respect copyright.PENANAPfZETas8vp
485Please respect copyright.PENANAxX4WYOm4a9
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAMvik6nxTcr
485Please respect copyright.PENANAavUHLe9WJE
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."485Please respect copyright.PENANA5V4MNv1Bhe
485Please respect copyright.PENANAm9bRg37YYg
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"485Please respect copyright.PENANA9AmqpdzA2X
485Please respect copyright.PENANAi57cPMNZvH
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.485Please respect copyright.PENANAqPIWg8Xzxv
485Please respect copyright.PENANAoIBs2Seqcj
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?485Please respect copyright.PENANAsw77tKq3EN
485Please respect copyright.PENANA3bkplqUG7V
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.485Please respect copyright.PENANAePdr6gKKhh
485Please respect copyright.PENANAiQqo414wql
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."485Please respect copyright.PENANAHrVJcfEdmn
485Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Ort42VTD
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA00hgBUMoZF
485Please respect copyright.PENANALdj3Qz0cWp
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAXwaefoZzEk
485Please respect copyright.PENANATIblxnWams
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.485Please respect copyright.PENANAKL4ji9YiTi
485Please respect copyright.PENANA1759xGeNMr
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAg4flUw7TVn
485Please respect copyright.PENANAylgWR7H4Fs
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."485Please respect copyright.PENANAgUID0F5EML
485Please respect copyright.PENANANITksrVrT5
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAgLfiJdUObI
485Please respect copyright.PENANAh8oDWbCxIe
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."485Please respect copyright.PENANAH5YdLDFZVB
485Please respect copyright.PENANAyCq0pAzLEv
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"485Please respect copyright.PENANASY27kDRWpN
485Please respect copyright.PENANAC2N7tQxZDL
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAD31rRSW0Xm
485Please respect copyright.PENANAy9fjfZMwbP
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."485Please respect copyright.PENANA7hPwJW7XsP
485Please respect copyright.PENANA1ralWNu0t4
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."485Please respect copyright.PENANAigTM3jIRd8
485Please respect copyright.PENANAPREvPUXf0A
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1UAxaMEqzH
485Please respect copyright.PENANAT8H7TLhvjZ
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAfpQ4ZgOEKT
485Please respect copyright.PENANAty6nVGtRon
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."485Please respect copyright.PENANABy35rVk1Uy
485Please respect copyright.PENANANWrcqbxe21
"No, tell me. What's going on?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAkkd3sW0ORV
485Please respect copyright.PENANAWnUhz34vB9
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAGwOk4yVXgK
485Please respect copyright.PENANA7NgYnmeVE9
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA6IGxlzid2K
485Please respect copyright.PENANA7elKEk30K9
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANASNKBUwRZrr
485Please respect copyright.PENANAbgXkofuyen
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAR4zX6CdKKj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAthvufEAfEW
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.485Please respect copyright.PENANAw8nD5GPeRF
485Please respect copyright.PENANAbsuXTNDe3r
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANABOuqumcxmg
485Please respect copyright.PENANAeCENp18upW
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."485Please respect copyright.PENANAPEgjxXyr7Z
485Please respect copyright.PENANATR1rHAU2Yz
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."485Please respect copyright.PENANAPNb6Tf2XRD
485Please respect copyright.PENANAZAe1cJP0eF
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.485Please respect copyright.PENANAkvEXuek7Ov
485Please respect copyright.PENANAVFVNl8e7l5
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.485Please respect copyright.PENANAo5W3kr2qzq
485Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Zp4WfKHu
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."485Please respect copyright.PENANA3bx8MjXMr6
485Please respect copyright.PENANAAhFh19kMAi
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.485Please respect copyright.PENANAU4slo0qKL0
485Please respect copyright.PENANAt1MRtNwB78
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA9YdA1gsdxt
485Please respect copyright.PENANAwodYl1H6tU
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."485Please respect copyright.PENANAKJfKPLKDbu
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFWcPDQs897
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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAvgUplOlXyJ
485Please respect copyright.PENANATHZFVAOqMe
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."485Please respect copyright.PENANACXmKznqFLD
485Please respect copyright.PENANAoQwGpiQd1M
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAcSN8Vgb7Sy
485Please respect copyright.PENANAxn1UcJ0E3R
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1IcdRdc1ns
485Please respect copyright.PENANAuxKPFikKxL
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAddMyS5QfOk
485Please respect copyright.PENANAgOW4oL8IXb
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAPlNWF57UG9
485Please respect copyright.PENANANYPWO2brYD
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAN1GxABgsh8
485Please respect copyright.PENANADVektD7Zbb
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAbWd8MCzJnw
485Please respect copyright.PENANAkBVUSUxE2F
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.485Please respect copyright.PENANAXqy6ni8jCD
485Please respect copyright.PENANAHxbPtAZ05j
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.485Please respect copyright.PENANAu8jzrYAOnC
485Please respect copyright.PENANAnYjaEUBJUV
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAUihQZFuelD
485Please respect copyright.PENANA1HqLt1WKfO
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHmsEWWxDeR
485Please respect copyright.PENANAAk4SP3sri0
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAw9W9ljiSrv
485Please respect copyright.PENANAIvfnmdQ3VV
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAZHpcht6Jcj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAZHxPGLjf4o
"We lie as usual," I answered.485Please respect copyright.PENANAadOr9LvRiv
485Please respect copyright.PENANAdWXgWgLWXe
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."485Please respect copyright.PENANAlWxNr64T7U
485Please respect copyright.PENANAlmwZXkjENH
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.485Please respect copyright.PENANAuZHbi6b3Wg
485Please respect copyright.PENANAhtatrafmIm
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANASyigj1sK3D
485Please respect copyright.PENANA07dsxdDRQi
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.485Please respect copyright.PENANAxmko6sBOIO
485Please respect copyright.PENANAHATp8nM2Lp
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.485Please respect copyright.PENANAw7ViN4XQ1t
485Please respect copyright.PENANAhAHPoGxzsv
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."485Please respect copyright.PENANAVeIobYcKxj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAg5PvqtMtEb
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.485Please respect copyright.PENANAheRwX4dzyV
485Please respect copyright.PENANAOM4W3udJ7Z
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAENOYX3qAG5
485Please respect copyright.PENANAIpRD6jzqkL
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAGrnD6NlSvm
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lj8GUwsyx
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANABkHPlr2VIq
485Please respect copyright.PENANAqmbkb6GuHp
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANADJBrPqhwTM
485Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2H0clgFkn
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAlmM8BQ08KK
485Please respect copyright.PENANA8Wy0jKSJ9v
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."485Please respect copyright.PENANA2y3RxnepGa
485Please respect copyright.PENANAO7N8o0053s
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAlNBwMEKpA3
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZnAwniMPP
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."485Please respect copyright.PENANAdEVcDTrMWg
485Please respect copyright.PENANAiXOohZorya
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAqFO64Kv4aR
485Please respect copyright.PENANA5edlr8ugMk
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.485Please respect copyright.PENANAsgayeqwkAG
485Please respect copyright.PENANAU6tg4FC8Yv
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA04MtaStTgF
485Please respect copyright.PENANAGuwPBYXG6z
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAxRst0cdcth
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6Iv5C5QwpE
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwnX012s6Hd
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFbVUXiWG11
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."485Please respect copyright.PENANAmRmXgrNdbu
485Please respect copyright.PENANASkvlHXqOv4
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."485Please respect copyright.PENANAWDBaDXdNLS
485Please respect copyright.PENANA8NQa8IWcgS
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.485Please respect copyright.PENANAeW202CIDrI
485Please respect copyright.PENANApSlnOXEdS6
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Bh9dfeAr
485Please respect copyright.PENANAWzYwqAztkB
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."485Please respect copyright.PENANASbC7ZclReM
485Please respect copyright.PENANAcMiILYtY7D
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."485Please respect copyright.PENANA305DTennY0
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFrs6dfI2f3
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA6DZFFG0FRj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAY5W9vgBr2e
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."485Please respect copyright.PENANArKc9s8oQyL
485Please respect copyright.PENANALxiFA7qMxi
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.485Please respect copyright.PENANAGs1lHz8jIt
485Please respect copyright.PENANA83C3piNi3g
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANApH2eD1MO4c
485Please respect copyright.PENANARFS7C9ClD4
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAfnA7YAZcUJ
485Please respect copyright.PENANA8LpXhs8bpr
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."485Please respect copyright.PENANAVYwq3Vrql0
485Please respect copyright.PENANAEf9pTSFm7X
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANA43HbbqAYGs
485Please respect copyright.PENANAcdivDVv3Us
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.485Please respect copyright.PENANAfR1eoEgnjN
485Please respect copyright.PENANAsACIXE0flU
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAcx1c53hgVZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAcFVFeiuLiK
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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1IGI7ExYds
485Please respect copyright.PENANAnlc1Y4Eq04
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA8LfhAH5SnB
485Please respect copyright.PENANAl35kGv5mDp
"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?"485Please respect copyright.PENANA4oqlkSKw1V
485Please respect copyright.PENANAwDTelEQss0
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.485Please respect copyright.PENANAuqNBKE3JUP
485Please respect copyright.PENANAL8D5AWMwHf
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.485Please respect copyright.PENANAO1gO5RIUB6
485Please respect copyright.PENANAZYclgklLdH
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAEosVJoiFH0
485Please respect copyright.PENANAt4SsydmY1Q
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAdxXDe0ahJL
485Please respect copyright.PENANASdcjnJJehh
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.485Please respect copyright.PENANApuCOIk9nhV
485Please respect copyright.PENANAtElqOSm9CU
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.485Please respect copyright.PENANAPT2XGLcMjO
485Please respect copyright.PENANAWYHAihElir
"I agree," said Christine.485Please respect copyright.PENANAOxvQHPKTfZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAAZDLX0tek5
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."485Please respect copyright.PENANAgABl28Bldz
485Please respect copyright.PENANAyjvWNWr5BY
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."485Please respect copyright.PENANA7hx0harsJo
485Please respect copyright.PENANAj1N9X82ROH
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."485Please respect copyright.PENANAgB96QvrM81
485Please respect copyright.PENANAxsp6vtuuKI
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."485Please respect copyright.PENANAoyVmXoijeq
485Please respect copyright.PENANAma6IVZ2rxg
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1hKD8hmfgy
485Please respect copyright.PENANAymqeHPYJ8e
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."485Please respect copyright.PENANAhiftf4Tjbw
485Please respect copyright.PENANA0mkmdR4xBq
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAfUQHRDbN3v

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.485Please respect copyright.PENANAMZe8QFV4GA
485Please respect copyright.PENANAo65EtipbGe
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAHtx8Ib4cht
485Please respect copyright.PENANA8nEEPS4h5Q
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.485Please respect copyright.PENANA1xKyBQJjH0
485Please respect copyright.PENANALQxjubqiPd
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAYq4F9NTYHJ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAm9I2iP3jha
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAmqzi4gCFZj
485Please respect copyright.PENANAmfWQhBkZZw
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.485Please respect copyright.PENANAFJW0qllNYZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAeL04koL3iw
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.485Please respect copyright.PENANAOIJDJVsU1s
485Please respect copyright.PENANAXcwN1zP4ge
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANASxdcX9fOOJ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAtIeGH1e354
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAo0p5HZtZU7
485Please respect copyright.PENANAhvvhxwHTrv
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAiL37NpfzNl
485Please respect copyright.PENANAnBmfXVkSvp
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAvtgALkdEHa

"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANA7cyCSZXmsT

"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAMRStkvaMkr
485Please respect copyright.PENANATHvW9N1MNN
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"485Please respect copyright.PENANACQw9r5hqkZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAjGPQQi1PtL
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."485Please respect copyright.PENANA4pp6LkXeJe
485Please respect copyright.PENANARX9mLM3DWN
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."485Please respect copyright.PENANA9PdI0sMXX6
485Please respect copyright.PENANAYtwcgk72kk
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."485Please respect copyright.PENANA1DquQhIXWp
485Please respect copyright.PENANAipzSkbrW4v
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."485Please respect copyright.PENANA5QTWAyylRx
485Please respect copyright.PENANAp93DpVlGvq
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."485Please respect copyright.PENANA0gsX6FqQZW
485Please respect copyright.PENANAfJYeCDgYa2
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAR1hdcrUA3T
485Please respect copyright.PENANADvZZOHD7zs
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."485Please respect copyright.PENANA5CoVOldo51
485Please respect copyright.PENANA9cEiV8pPOr
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAKgGSvTO3ni
485Please respect copyright.PENANA1kpltyTyXi
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.485Please respect copyright.PENANAYffgLQzrs7
485Please respect copyright.PENANA114n8kZ9zL
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."485Please respect copyright.PENANAoMeMEYjgrp
485Please respect copyright.PENANAk95FsbnEdY
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANA0ueUg31YQO

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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAwCmQSKrfUQ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAfsPplt7XLp
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.485Please respect copyright.PENANA4MC4jrD5Hv
485Please respect copyright.PENANAZUkQXTYDhh
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."485Please respect copyright.PENANAeFATILXHss
485Please respect copyright.PENANA4jodLMJBK7
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAh7iXlGBjC9
485Please respect copyright.PENANAGobPkqvlKw
"How do I look?" he asked me.485Please respect copyright.PENANAEpTFVAQ8G8
485Please respect copyright.PENANAerzdXDePpl
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."485Please respect copyright.PENANAViPoVBuyQa
485Please respect copyright.PENANAyaiYppfgfW
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANA4nYVbXMCPt
485Please respect copyright.PENANA0LvLVv1j30
"What about me?" Jimin asked.485Please respect copyright.PENANAqElcOwue2P
485Please respect copyright.PENANAu5SWUNtTY9
"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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAihzqzIwfsm
485Please respect copyright.PENANATRLpFFl5cl
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAbVOLkxwmuE
485Please respect copyright.PENANA7rfakwPn2J
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."485Please respect copyright.PENANAGhVuKRObJb
485Please respect copyright.PENANABM2dyjI33p
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAhy17McjhRl
485Please respect copyright.PENANA5yuuVZwS0R
"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."485Please respect copyright.PENANAkaBgR1y0To
485Please respect copyright.PENANA8hqJsLq8vN
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"485Please respect copyright.PENANAjk6yzwre2b
485Please respect copyright.PENANAdHtF6VsMge
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed485Please respect copyright.PENANAXEPeCdAUVp
485Please respect copyright.PENANANJklQJyW1X
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANApd52gy3OsJ
485Please respect copyright.PENANApwXeqfXOC0
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.485Please respect copyright.PENANA99VcRRUXl1
485Please respect copyright.PENANAhtLRzp2Rt3
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.485Please respect copyright.PENANAlqEi6JC921
485Please respect copyright.PENANA6lzcqqMt0r
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANArcKoTkBvmA
485Please respect copyright.PENANAEejNNv6ah8
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAt45qYcunoe
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFXQAzQGsWn
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAeTYNLwZBHB
485Please respect copyright.PENANAVzE44OXFUC
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.485Please respect copyright.PENANABTK2rBmVnZ
485Please respect copyright.PENANAM8MkJh7DZA
"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."485Please respect copyright.PENANAh05T3aFEXV
485Please respect copyright.PENANAB4zLQn7End
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.485Please respect copyright.PENANAgWHmXQEYTq
485Please respect copyright.PENANAgXBfCUNcm3
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANApQQtsZGcRu
485Please respect copyright.PENANAZoPUyfszZ7
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.485Please respect copyright.PENANAhf0DTUMUnq
485Please respect copyright.PENANAI4WrPTbJtF
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.485Please respect copyright.PENANAO0mkBoVsPU
485Please respect copyright.PENANAmzPaSxBfbx
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.485Please respect copyright.PENANA5frhK0oxfK
485Please respect copyright.PENANAFtnkeGqO6t
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
