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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAVkrK4XXaPV
436Please respect copyright.PENANAObb9OWXfyS
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.436Please respect copyright.PENANA6nK7OwgU4B
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGKIwLln3e4
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANArsNzqzYYUD
436Please respect copyright.PENANASqKoXJX5ib
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."436Please respect copyright.PENANASvQKswYmdC
436Please respect copyright.PENANASC8v978fdz
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAQVcWDfENHG
436Please respect copyright.PENANAn6PFFMjViM
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."436Please respect copyright.PENANA6RitAv833V
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJWyMfwOaU9
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAPu7OQM8RXc
436Please respect copyright.PENANANPdi8RQ3YZ
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAEcGKzfwDgO
436Please respect copyright.PENANAPGL5JlU2Ut
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?436Please respect copyright.PENANABo5NOvEf55
436Please respect copyright.PENANA085JEgSA4C
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.436Please respect copyright.PENANAfYYV7riyHu
436Please respect copyright.PENANAbxkSaql9b5
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."436Please respect copyright.PENANA1R5XG1wNIy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnGnJMqIRQO
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA8TKpk9gfGh
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGhTpzbVItn
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAjlxfIAqEPm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAanmKjzOHky
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0iC9atkzuv
436Please respect copyright.PENANASUZfpXoncS
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAz6zTfApyRU
436Please respect copyright.PENANArBVUHe7E6H
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."436Please respect copyright.PENANAOOqLdQfZ82
436Please respect copyright.PENANATWALSS4w1c
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAbqE24ZK0id
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8ULbyubzXz
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."436Please respect copyright.PENANAmowgr3F2Wj
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaWJtMlL5q3
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAPBtMztYXYm
436Please respect copyright.PENANABWx1Sj7Mj5
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAEdL2OL0aWv
436Please respect copyright.PENANADFSKjh4bcS
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."436Please respect copyright.PENANAWdqn6Xtil7
436Please respect copyright.PENANAO5Z4QssDEk
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."436Please respect copyright.PENANAz29LM18Uyo
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1YcRR32Ty8
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."436Please respect copyright.PENANAcz7SkezkdF
436Please respect copyright.PENANAS3IIFRpnin
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAcoQZAEkvXO
436Please respect copyright.PENANAe1emlMGtAQ
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."436Please respect copyright.PENANAWmdcEGttHP
436Please respect copyright.PENANAzrVAqgL8lQ
"No, tell me. What's going on?"436Please respect copyright.PENANA3jueNsJF0Q
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGyJIUSkA3b
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAnboJ8SigAp
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQovIlNVGI9
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAVWYbhuuIT2
436Please respect copyright.PENANADqKLO8FYpD
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAZccuZZCBe1
436Please respect copyright.PENANAS6sc4tNzGQ
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAzgXLFiSJl2
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ9P8qsESP
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.436Please respect copyright.PENANA41eaywxyoc
436Please respect copyright.PENANAsL7t8SGRmA
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAgsyRXbVifc
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGcp9MJ3YCg
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."436Please respect copyright.PENANAr6I3eX0uQh
436Please respect copyright.PENANAu35BA361Xt
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."436Please respect copyright.PENANAIx9xrHWNqP
436Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ovidik9sH
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.436Please respect copyright.PENANA94Cl9Nph6k
436Please respect copyright.PENANAwoc80QLI6o
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.436Please respect copyright.PENANA39RT29rygy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZAjNFxqaYT
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."436Please respect copyright.PENANAqQjP8hClyz
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnYS1v1yX9W
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.436Please respect copyright.PENANAdwskgZiXPH
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfRAngOeh2E
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAjsIoja1wVz
436Please respect copyright.PENANABmhUYC6qcO
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."436Please respect copyright.PENANA0wQCx9Rbt0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAbRPUADHCmH
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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAUMUkid753I
436Please respect copyright.PENANATk86N6kD8Q
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."436Please respect copyright.PENANAzdeIU9aa8M
436Please respect copyright.PENANAh3TryBM10O
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAbMwvLjb12J
436Please respect copyright.PENANAS3xWMKttXD
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."436Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0jocVKYWi
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7zfwys8Exv
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANARJa7j3bry0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJZnwp3cTFF
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Ux1fmigf
436Please respect copyright.PENANAHyNeSuq4a6
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANA6ChoApbSSJ
436Please respect copyright.PENANArY5aafX1df
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAXPuvYJ7vYv
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOWvn9SUpkD
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAV8tpBKsjFp
436Please respect copyright.PENANAps6fxX6TnR
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxrF7YrBgYs
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFGcAGUTqKi
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANArJHXP1Wb9G
436Please respect copyright.PENANATJVl952ntf
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANALfgB3foOZy
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0TpDsvjvX6
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAuoJU8wGFeA
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9t97VGJce7
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAkZRVokKqgC
436Please respect copyright.PENANAsB5IVGUpTK
"We lie as usual," I answered.436Please respect copyright.PENANAa2P5ZHCaTu
436Please respect copyright.PENANA2qVCarsDDB
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."436Please respect copyright.PENANApQEabylk1o
436Please respect copyright.PENANARt1FOtcbHH
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.436Please respect copyright.PENANAlQR3IpkRJL
436Please respect copyright.PENANAkkd8cV5b82
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA5WEGoTXPES
436Please respect copyright.PENANAE8dXGhULJP
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.436Please respect copyright.PENANAjOK18oXfPW
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaWOBdeGShV
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.436Please respect copyright.PENANAyZPQfSrp8w
436Please respect copyright.PENANAUnP7wzguMv
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."436Please respect copyright.PENANAUHW26rqwlK
436Please respect copyright.PENANAysJwujUSXn
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.436Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ7L4B57uj
436Please respect copyright.PENANAMGx1KdLWoq
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAIoob1m8FVb
436Please respect copyright.PENANAM0JtCXL3zK
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAAUIZQSH1yp
436Please respect copyright.PENANAlmJHC7dWbA
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAGgD4UcQBWv
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQfwhaecPOh
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAkvIEsJES5K
436Please respect copyright.PENANAxFjnopYPHA
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA9ktlLHPEkl
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEaG5mnGWsS
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."436Please respect copyright.PENANAPEZCt1EtOB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAuLKwKBDenL
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAON51MBxRSB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAunchQLJZWu
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."436Please respect copyright.PENANA0ehjgYnYoq
436Please respect copyright.PENANAUOzGyh8WKq
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q0P2yT4sq
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnjGb9zUJLn
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANA4GVE85xPOD
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaHXDNm5K5F
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAtocazGHeBH
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhLRBgcPNN5
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAErrn9gEaGZ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAjPPWHg0kZ9
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAagaS3St1B3
436Please respect copyright.PENANAma8PjxSeaQ
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."436Please respect copyright.PENANAJWqmMW4Msi
436Please respect copyright.PENANAw1Kn8Www6j
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."436Please respect copyright.PENANAUfP3QCCPRX
436Please respect copyright.PENANAho1I9vIR1f
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.436Please respect copyright.PENANARJarWJaX3F
436Please respect copyright.PENANAJbpETacMnD
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwRT5rSn9r0
436Please respect copyright.PENANAlt8bpqZheZ
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."436Please respect copyright.PENANAYBHBWdyEp7
436Please respect copyright.PENANADG2F2TQ4Jv
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."436Please respect copyright.PENANAGMDiwAp0kt
436Please respect copyright.PENANAnPpnTGzbjn
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANATLlBNZNBQY
436Please respect copyright.PENANAKG5Tb4DEWm
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."436Please respect copyright.PENANA0LFxmHvqaR
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5bga6J396s
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.436Please respect copyright.PENANAh5kTfXggA9
436Please respect copyright.PENANA9D0FwdFsFr
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAprAfQ2ak0l
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFkqRhtY8uD
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANArIs2kWg87x
436Please respect copyright.PENANAkStH88RlUW
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."436Please respect copyright.PENANAbCrGTUU5HM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQAad4364f7
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAKr1YSOwsgm
436Please respect copyright.PENANAtcc30lEdPM
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.436Please respect copyright.PENANAC1RVlCq9TT
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeoXBXchVao
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAtDd53uVvlO
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8O25cb799O
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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA1DPD8iXGUl
436Please respect copyright.PENANAl6M4y7OHBQ
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAzdHZ1XUjRA
436Please respect copyright.PENANArfjGpDNsJy
"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?"436Please respect copyright.PENANA85UhEEPoya
436Please respect copyright.PENANA2dadzkBufu
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0V1Cf3NZB8
436Please respect copyright.PENANAvyYe2pY1SY
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.436Please respect copyright.PENANAQUWii5iRN8
436Please respect copyright.PENANACdKD8vyiaO
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAxihkHmSvEd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Imd6DVhc
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAhxxUUoDKGR
436Please respect copyright.PENANALZLijxDPnB
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.436Please respect copyright.PENANA1rDct7Nbep
436Please respect copyright.PENANADxSWKCvW5I
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANACflyHdtlC2
436Please respect copyright.PENANAmed2TNjAH5
"I agree," said Christine.436Please respect copyright.PENANAK0jtk1j4wv
436Please respect copyright.PENANACSQ1diRMMi
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."436Please respect copyright.PENANAqmo606vLFz
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfwu8dL3CnZ
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."436Please respect copyright.PENANAPZzcqEW4YR
436Please respect copyright.PENANADIbH7EZTFs
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."436Please respect copyright.PENANAplaEyyzfzi
436Please respect copyright.PENANA8NH9sbhPmt
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."436Please respect copyright.PENANAnq4RZh1hRY
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQOcPTjpODk
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."436Please respect copyright.PENANAfAQXBaNG2z
436Please respect copyright.PENANATiF9cqwqVD
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."436Please respect copyright.PENANAPZDKwkzXGW
436Please respect copyright.PENANAgT3iT5O6oh
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAL6dyuqrnXK

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.436Please respect copyright.PENANAHqeNEo7PlI
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEqYB955IVC
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAyzMzTPraM8
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0UgQAvSGMo
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.436Please respect copyright.PENANAAWl0kwxK6G
436Please respect copyright.PENANAgBgSRenG5b
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANADiSHQAjq9t
436Please respect copyright.PENANAk6IQ6Bu1Z6
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAD93MXukQSU
436Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tw3utYgLM
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.436Please respect copyright.PENANAiPPlSTWQsq
436Please respect copyright.PENANAOXktTngOSi
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.436Please respect copyright.PENANAu60TYhYObw
436Please respect copyright.PENANAEaMot8UA79
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANALQrz5Avk7y
436Please respect copyright.PENANAf3GSChGx5g
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANA5xhHrSEPCg
436Please respect copyright.PENANAYI42NTz4U9
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAW2c4I4z9ye
436Please respect copyright.PENANABtB6E4DJhe
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAzcgSSf4c9k

"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANASi8CfYxcUj

"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAQI2OSY32Kt
436Please respect copyright.PENANAIstmvFjG7O
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAdDVJdSeJIK
436Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0B576yKfs
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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAaN1H2xDXDG
436Please respect copyright.PENANA98cWgMF1pt
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."436Please respect copyright.PENANATM7iXPCbHl
436Please respect copyright.PENANAaZy2JwuHRL
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."436Please respect copyright.PENANA19jUoDcgFh
436Please respect copyright.PENANAhgh1aLwpwE
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."436Please respect copyright.PENANAz38GAl0CBd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAcflHrF877s
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."436Please respect copyright.PENANA4mkUb9lIgn
436Please respect copyright.PENANATY2QyYVYI6
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.436Please respect copyright.PENANAu5PadEEopf
436Please respect copyright.PENANAelvG8QDgSM
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."436Please respect copyright.PENANA4HFU8w5gO2
436Please respect copyright.PENANAzdgSs2w28W
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0vC3LnLxj6
436Please respect copyright.PENANAk0Qq5SAK2G
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.436Please respect copyright.PENANApmEbN8khgS
436Please respect copyright.PENANAyrLJuig0hi
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."436Please respect copyright.PENANACJ7v2soNil
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5CS57eXjle
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZZI6QR86y

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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgAQ2a4YOKQ
436Please respect copyright.PENANAX2Ti2v9WZS
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0XkKEnMopd
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFygQv807jB
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."436Please respect copyright.PENANAx5pBN699lH
436Please respect copyright.PENANAeg3Pifg0um
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA6OPmadffUI
436Please respect copyright.PENANAPKaDmSq8Y9
"How do I look?" he asked me.436Please respect copyright.PENANAR7JRgGKlYr
436Please respect copyright.PENANA4V7tDVD2WY
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."436Please respect copyright.PENANAPTwUmxXu16
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5t5lM0znEE
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z70mWt2ob
436Please respect copyright.PENANABHHFTB5bLD
"What about me?" Jimin asked.436Please respect copyright.PENANAftoVreNCUM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZY2qeOLK6Y
"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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAwDZrOEFyNV
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfZvrSLgliZ
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANALPcDmbwON5
436Please respect copyright.PENANAZTTdhrJVsT
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."436Please respect copyright.PENANAyzITlZj5ue
436Please respect copyright.PENANAK61IT9RDSD
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAJgXdbexNow
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1dxeQmgSso
"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."436Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lr6b0QjNi
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5c488nXfaz
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"436Please respect copyright.PENANAUAjeYhIMU9
436Please respect copyright.PENANAB280mLcstt
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed436Please respect copyright.PENANArYsSjgwPXm
436Please respect copyright.PENANA2EvVgbzGrj
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAoLjq0VwPHi
436Please respect copyright.PENANAdIHtD3jO0i
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.436Please respect copyright.PENANAlcVMMcae6r
436Please respect copyright.PENANAl2JktgZ7ce
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmEX19V8WW6
436Please respect copyright.PENANA1sAqbiWcYg
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAwBKgbTPmk6
436Please respect copyright.PENANAg0IjD25UlM
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANApyPdrp13QD
436Please respect copyright.PENANA4FDbCZAo0y
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAcFnJxPiUdZ
436Please respect copyright.PENANA5u1K5rnqvF
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.436Please respect copyright.PENANAk9nHCbj71f
436Please respect copyright.PENANAX9rD689JsV
"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."436Please respect copyright.PENANAocxHM3klpf
436Please respect copyright.PENANAAjao7ezLFq
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxlU0w6SHx1
436Please respect copyright.PENANAFcOxJWNzpY
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAxciE4sfUJl
436Please respect copyright.PENANABEhfn4IOMM
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.436Please respect copyright.PENANAvhS7SS3U7K
436Please respect copyright.PENANAIvstHFsagE
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAPsYNlZ25TB
436Please respect copyright.PENANAubNnX8vgPg
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.436Please respect copyright.PENANAgKdQ89RVMM
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGBqaNYwdlX
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
