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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAZFE3ReWUkq
362Please respect copyright.PENANAhjuAh2rEZw
"Zoey has gone too far," said Daniel, finally finding his voice.362Please respect copyright.PENANA42IsYZOUN8
362Please respect copyright.PENANACY30HbpCQO
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAft0JDNKwR4
362Please respect copyright.PENANASUPSQOPy0a
"Won't Collins be here soon?" Mike asked. "He won't be happy to know that Zoey isn't here."362Please respect copyright.PENANAH1uvDpl03Q
362Please respect copyright.PENANAppuORHdMBt
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAcVO5v7tGk9
362Please respect copyright.PENANA18Q2QNSToV
"True," said Lee. "But the thing we know for certain is that she has gone to wherever Johnny is."362Please respect copyright.PENANAsaY66vz0BB
362Please respect copyright.PENANAmbg1EqzSoW
"That's a good place to start," said Mike. "Does anyone here know which hotel he could be residing in?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAlnkJyLSMc0
362Please respect copyright.PENANAFnwCzucPVL
"We can ask G-Dragon," I said.362Please respect copyright.PENANAK6aofnFkPB
362Please respect copyright.PENANAt1NklWyYxA
Christine came rushing back into the room with her phone in her hand. Had she tried calling Zoey?362Please respect copyright.PENANAZtcVMvlBAZ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAA0oKKHTGZz
"Any luck?" Daniel asked, looking at Christine.362Please respect copyright.PENANAGkkO6VvWhm
362Please respect copyright.PENANA4r4FothquT
"No," she replied. "Her phone went through, but she didn't pick up."362Please respect copyright.PENANApYBLmTi3Sp
362Please respect copyright.PENANAJKNcGqRlQB
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAsf1FzgYkF0
362Please respect copyright.PENANAgUQlkCQjA9
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAglS7CvWaKK
362Please respect copyright.PENANAuN3G7Ey5Dz
"I just hope he answers me," Christine said. After finding G-Dragon's line, she called and put the phone to her ear.362Please respect copyright.PENANAg4GHt5gNn1
362Please respect copyright.PENANAtFTsX3zqvE
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAK5Mrw8BgNR
362Please respect copyright.PENANA5YVOFhuswL
"Hey, Christine," came G-Dragon's voice. "I was in the shower. I hope you haven't been calling."362Please respect copyright.PENANAqSIXDyQgPU
362Please respect copyright.PENANA6tfJpU39f9
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANA8RUDArG8CV
362Please respect copyright.PENANA2LaSKhIqbl
"Um, no, he isn't. After I came back to my apartment, we both went our separate ways."362Please respect copyright.PENANA0UVIpH6DHV
362Please respect copyright.PENANAOe8Nb7C63h
"Wait, you've never known where he is staying?"362Please respect copyright.PENANA5YwjUhWwOu
362Please respect copyright.PENANAG2uJarAw81
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAINyrlqeWNL
362Please respect copyright.PENANABa3gmo0rLh
"Yeah, we know. It was quite disappointing when we found out."362Please respect copyright.PENANA4h5wfC4Its
362Please respect copyright.PENANAgoqGV6mT7A
"Well, why are you asking about him? Don't tell me you plan on visiting him."362Please respect copyright.PENANAKCdsiRKQIC
362Please respect copyright.PENANA5O6ZX87RNQ
"We wouldn't even dream of it. Collins already has us on a tight leash."362Please respect copyright.PENANAgOPcOKvxc0
362Please respect copyright.PENANA3rSNlaptjo
"Then why ask these questions? Is something wrong?"362Please respect copyright.PENANA4LXN8D81xG
362Please respect copyright.PENANAfcpwgtXyKL
"Oh, nothing. It's silly."362Please respect copyright.PENANAGqwIe08oqx
362Please respect copyright.PENANAWIhVfgGZEP
"No, tell me. What's going on?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ2CfZBUbB
362Please respect copyright.PENANADde3leAolU
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAAbhcX2YKMy
362Please respect copyright.PENANATmWNiVmErn
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAwdKOME4QJ0
362Please respect copyright.PENANA9E9sv1dmzR
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAasv02OGTtN
362Please respect copyright.PENANAd38ET5zsC8
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA1rrpS2yRcQ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAldn4lesttn
"Wait, you're coming over?" Christine now looked terrified.362Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Nu0EGHyX
362Please respect copyright.PENANAsaLg6tqxqV
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA2AfIK2mPdZ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAd8CWFq26cQ
"Oh, I will. Thanks, GD. Goodnight."362Please respect copyright.PENANAq0lmztFYbt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAy1xJbB1byb
"Goodnight. Send Sam my kisses."362Please respect copyright.PENANANfadHw66zd
362Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ44wR1ETd
Christine giggled as she looked at me. I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.362Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlItzxgT7
362Please respect copyright.PENANAO4szftMfkZ
"I will," she answered as she ended the call.362Please respect copyright.PENANAz7zmlL1l0l
362Please respect copyright.PENANAyzB1Rq72gy
"Well, we've heard him," said Mike. "Johnny is not with GD."362Please respect copyright.PENANAwRqjFThRVc
362Please respect copyright.PENANAZBNdro0qDi
"And we know he still cares about Sam," Lee said teasingly.362Please respect copyright.PENANAsIgPg8mCtz
362Please respect copyright.PENANA94MsNtfBDD
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAiw8mCckJdm
362Please respect copyright.PENANAEQgIgA9XLo
"True," said Daniel. "She must have found out about his whereabouts from somewhere or from someone."362Please respect copyright.PENANApTxqs7fB3C
362Please respect copyright.PENANA20uyV1nfi5
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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAtazxvV4tbn
362Please respect copyright.PENANAdqvmujOKou
Christine went ahead to check, and a few seconds later, she said, "I found something."362Please respect copyright.PENANAPRD2qGAgDt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAiyBRK7QpcC
"That was quick," said Mike, as he came over to check. "So where is he?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAZh4Jwt51PH
362Please respect copyright.PENANAVZikIvAmOZ
"He posted where he would be tonight," said Christine as she showed Mike her phone. "It looks like someplace downtown."362Please respect copyright.PENANASfQbKHznT0
362Please respect copyright.PENANA8xPLhRxGnM
"Does he usually post where he goes all the time?" Lee asked.362Please respect copyright.PENANAlO8nBCA6mz
362Please respect copyright.PENANA869khqIokF
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAr9AGZPKb0r
362Please respect copyright.PENANAZR1HUqCxkO
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAt8Xs8dwjFJ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAXrtOrcLOni
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA64pqhGxgtJ
362Please respect copyright.PENANARwYhWWkxMA
"When we find Zoey, no one should say what Mike said about her being dense," I said.362Please respect copyright.PENANAia9F72BNHq
362Please respect copyright.PENANAllayqTpJUz
"Noted," the other three, apart from Mike, responded simultaneously.362Please respect copyright.PENANAujZRu6Cuqs
362Please respect copyright.PENANAStmmGiUmYb
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANACmtYlDWjkG
362Please respect copyright.PENANAymRr757ya4
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAf9bLQMjYup
362Please respect copyright.PENANAdbR7E2es2o
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAh6wheevvBu
362Please respect copyright.PENANAYtRQjNbxxz
"And what if he asks about Zoey?" Christine asked.362Please respect copyright.PENANA1L0Rv0GeIb
362Please respect copyright.PENANAeKXbPE7lGt
"We lie as usual," I answered.362Please respect copyright.PENANAVzUEtDU3ZV
362Please respect copyright.PENANAeiXDJ9hHiM
"Hey, people," said Collins, standing at the entrance of the lounge. "I expected all of you to be asleep."362Please respect copyright.PENANAjOXp215Nly
362Please respect copyright.PENANAcCUtBtnyZp
"We just woke up," said Daniel as he rubbed his eyes, pretending to be still sleepy.362Please respect copyright.PENANAGImajTV16i
362Please respect copyright.PENANAtMxUIe7m0J
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAXEhKIbrZHC
362Please respect copyright.PENANArj6behxCtQ
"Who?" Mike asked with an eyebrow raised, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.362Please respect copyright.PENANAtP9JDtMtch
362Please respect copyright.PENANAx4evFwFnvw
Two people appeared behind Collins. My mouth dropped in surprise, Christine included. There, standing alongside Collins, were Jimin and Jungkook from BTS.362Please respect copyright.PENANAgIXau6K2Ky
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQtU9tQMAef
"Jimin, Jungkook, hi," I said as I approached them. "It's a surprise to see you here."362Please respect copyright.PENANA2l89b8oJpt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAw337NmPK8b
"We didn't ruin your evening, did we?" Jungkook asked as he came to give me a hug.362Please respect copyright.PENANAih0y1X8nWJ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAVoocIoizve
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA7TqkB501KT
362Please respect copyright.PENANAianuDjKij3
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0ZwKD4omg
362Please respect copyright.PENANAPOC3zrZ4bq
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANALxlFtp0s9u
362Please respect copyright.PENANAU5wYtjVg2n
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAE2RaSrwOi7
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7NcyDs2XS
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAKWLh0qFgGK
362Please respect copyright.PENANAACp78mGccD
"I like the idea," said Daniel. "That's if it's fine with Collins."362Please respect copyright.PENANAGOGAP1yVPn
362Please respect copyright.PENANAVyl0BvV7O9
"If you're going out to have fun, then fine by me," said Collins. "Just be careful. By the way, where is Zoey?"362Please respect copyright.PENANA3wacbhMMuR
362Please respect copyright.PENANAIm2ZkXmXDc
"I left her in the shower," I lied. "She has one of those headaches again."362Please respect copyright.PENANABYd4MsRk6B
362Please respect copyright.PENANAYLclIcq6E6
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAlZcJhwpDJW
362Please respect copyright.PENANA1e3nQjssJu
"I'll make sure they will," said Lee.362Please respect copyright.PENANAnRKL4IxiVR
362Please respect copyright.PENANAzYzRwNRftb
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAHipuzXVZZX
362Please respect copyright.PENANAldOK5vu7la
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAw9j6snghrQ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAKutzimSbTt
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAHaUwEHTNM6
362Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOVCglLW4
"Hey, is Zoey going to come out of the shower?" Jungkook asked. "It looks like she's been in there for too long."362Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lt8T7aHcJ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAGjbtbkJ3GQ
I chuckled nervously as he sat opposite me at the table. "You see, the thing is, Zoey isn't in her room right now."362Please respect copyright.PENANALoLnZ65X9R
362Please respect copyright.PENANAOrz6wt5p9N
Both Jimin and Jungkook looked at me, surprised by what I had just said.362Please respect copyright.PENANAmZUNlZ9MV4
362Please respect copyright.PENANApnZKSWUewv
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAQC7b4ynUDT
362Please respect copyright.PENANASu7C2CC5rh
"Yes," said Lee. "We were about to head out to look for her when Collins arrived with you two."362Please respect copyright.PENANAp7ileG9en7
362Please respect copyright.PENANAd3BJjWbLhd
"Oh, so that's why you want us to hang out," said Jungkook. "You want to go out and look for her."362Please respect copyright.PENANAv48m6jaaHN
362Please respect copyright.PENANA7Kc1XHJP7b
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAJrrZYWrmJX
362Please respect copyright.PENANAMevQPYbkMG
"I don't mind," said Jungkook as he shrugged his shoulders. "As long as we get to hang out."362Please respect copyright.PENANAEwkfJKfNV5
362Please respect copyright.PENANAfeRDjHPfXZ
"Thanks, you two are lifesavers," said Christine, almost squealing in delight.362Please respect copyright.PENANAFMYW50sWRa
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQosQPDXRE3
"Okay, but why did Zoey run away?" Jimin asked.362Please respect copyright.PENANAt0vP3tuAdO
362Please respect copyright.PENANAq9d7rL1vtZ
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANACBw71BUHfT
362Please respect copyright.PENANAnrZYLSoPxL
"Okay, now that that is settled, eat up," said Lee. "We're going to need all the energy we can get."362Please respect copyright.PENANAZ80K7Q2r63
362Please respect copyright.PENANA9ap5Wyhupx
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANA78OAercmWF
362Please respect copyright.PENANAk2zC0zH34s
When we were all in the elevator, we were now free to talk.362Please respect copyright.PENANAXybksCwTP6
362Please respect copyright.PENANAPgpMduLdJb
"So where can Zoey be?" Jimin asked.362Please respect copyright.PENANAB5asjL1V3j
362Please respect copyright.PENANA422fpWTbp7
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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA4YaTkI5inq
362Please respect copyright.PENANAopc5RGQ6y3
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAU90HPXuih1
362Please respect copyright.PENANAFZQfoh67sZ
"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?"362Please respect copyright.PENANACDqBn9tOJF
362Please respect copyright.PENANASKVaUtVoHq
"Exactly," said Jimin as he chuckled.362Please respect copyright.PENANA2TwAvp7st7
362Please respect copyright.PENANATDBwxNageV
"Masks?" Christine asked with an eyebrow raised.362Please respect copyright.PENANAYl5CxMDwIb
362Please respect copyright.PENANAcvxZzZj656
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAsXCSjJd5aC
362Please respect copyright.PENANAsvfJKKpToe
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANA3ChqBwnw0u
362Please respect copyright.PENANAqRzbRMDeMM
"Don't worry, we have jumpers with hoodies, so it will be easy to hide our faces," said Jimin.362Please respect copyright.PENANA0O4YlqaOkw
362Please respect copyright.PENANA4iwn2TDHqP
"I suggest we get glasses too," said Lee.362Please respect copyright.PENANArgq8WfmLyr
362Please respect copyright.PENANAI6paCjHP0n
"I agree," said Christine.362Please respect copyright.PENANAi8cE3Elt8R
362Please respect copyright.PENANAwvXVt52vkW
"This is going to be fun," said Mike with a snicker. "I feel like we're going undercover."362Please respect copyright.PENANAPIrJltRi8Y
362Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrtIaHjKo
"I know," said Daniel. "But we have to be careful. I feel Johnny won't only be expecting Zoey there."362Please respect copyright.PENANA4gtWFSjmZI
362Please respect copyright.PENANASEXKabOU38
"Yeah, you're right," I said. "Let's be on our toes."362Please respect copyright.PENANAJqIH7UqEUJ
362Please respect copyright.PENANAkHBmzWiZwb
"Who is this, Johnny guy?" Jungkook asked. "You talk like he's bad news."362Please respect copyright.PENANAf9PPLoqZXt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAd36jEN7Ub2
"He is," said Christine. "I'll explain on the way. The sooner we get on the road, the better."362Please respect copyright.PENANAb97XujESzX
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQpGzfyEOZH
"If you say so," said Jimin. "And I know the perfect place to get masks and glasses to hide our appearance."362Please respect copyright.PENANAt29Kj3nPY2
362Please respect copyright.PENANAJj9z4jQHrr
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAsu35zaQTV3

"I should have prepared myself for this," said Mino as he looked around the place filled with people this early in the evening.362Please respect copyright.PENANAhUkWtY00j5
362Please respect copyright.PENANAl5pWm4w0Jn
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAaePzbdCjuD
362Please respect copyright.PENANArhSrxC1gjU
"Let me get myself a mask," said Mino as he looked around the colourful shops that lined up the brightly lit Hongdae Street.362Please respect copyright.PENANANewMvcU37Y
362Please respect copyright.PENANAXJMMhDXOMT
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAjtHnzCBTMM
362Please respect copyright.PENANARiBayDVLBD
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAkGexqEivMx
362Please respect copyright.PENANANK9GQ52ix7
"Are you ready?" Mino asked after he wore the mask and the glasses.362Please respect copyright.PENANAldrRl6IZQy
362Please respect copyright.PENANA6AthpMqU1W
She gave a nod of her head, and they made their way down the vibrant street of Hongdae.362Please respect copyright.PENANAEg8ROUOJWI
362Please respect copyright.PENANAkLSR3wSah8
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ6lRcdMfi
362Please respect copyright.PENANAO3AioMRdct
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAC7SSsix3gt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAdyvgoFa4fZ
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANASvFfjhYz04
362Please respect copyright.PENANA05Sb7ER94s
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAiukbbSQFI9

"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAqI0bpGFsVf

"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAcFomW7w6Iq
362Please respect copyright.PENANA4q4YL2EA1i
"Oh, I was going to ask around for a famous club. How hard could that be?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Yjv7rSUa
362Please respect copyright.PENANAeYQaxn2y3b
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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAiLFsEEVk8F
362Please respect copyright.PENANAeH95nkF2f4
"Huh." Zoey didn't know what to say. "Then it's good you did come with me."362Please respect copyright.PENANAYZFssm5eJI
362Please respect copyright.PENANANVaRgcggi8
"While we are at it, we can check things out too."362Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Xbentnpz
362Please respect copyright.PENANAakaCVAeoP2
"Good idea. Maybe we can get something to eat. I just realized that I haven't eaten yet."362Please respect copyright.PENANAiuWyQ720zU
362Please respect copyright.PENANAqkfYWFmQEN
"Great, I know just the place to get the best meat."362Please respect copyright.PENANA5SgaWHVSLo
362Please respect copyright.PENANAWsLKQqUHKa
"Seriously? Is that all you're thinking of?" Zoey raised an eyebrow at him.362Please respect copyright.PENANAr3kJd5Q6Cu
362Please respect copyright.PENANACWLOHFiiyE
"No, they serve other tasty foods too."362Please respect copyright.PENANAehTx4g7CAB
362Please respect copyright.PENANAVxTllO0eQL
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANACMJyBu6DqS
362Please respect copyright.PENANANYXIgl8Ch8
"It's tasty," Mino answered slowly, hoping that that would be a reasonable answer for her.362Please respect copyright.PENANARgwyZE6ERq
362Please respect copyright.PENANA3ED9ia7VSa
"Let's go. We still have time to goof around before we go to the club."362Please respect copyright.PENANADOdwH1vlJI
362Please respect copyright.PENANAH37YxDSy8h
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAlTAHOVIKU6

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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAowceH6eY9M
362Please respect copyright.PENANAg2A5NWQcXt
"I bought some scarves for those who don't have hoodies," said Lee, handing over some scarves.362Please respect copyright.PENANAHejPFjEaBQ
362Please respect copyright.PENANApM3rkKV3od
"Good," said Christine, who sat behind her and got a pink scarf. "Some of us didn't think of wearing hoodies tonight."362Please respect copyright.PENANABwv6sQhu5v
362Please respect copyright.PENANAQYasFvKjfZ
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAGWKZxCMJLH
362Please respect copyright.PENANAYDdL0SoGqF
"How do I look?" he asked me.362Please respect copyright.PENANAr0Bw6lSGw3
362Please respect copyright.PENANAK49ygspXYJ
"Remove the mask," I said. "Those big, dark glasses will hide your face just fine."362Please respect copyright.PENANAnMWoDw9FYn
362Please respect copyright.PENANAG9GydPsnua
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAMfzK8hcmW2
362Please respect copyright.PENANAINMxuAbKzN
"What about me?" Jimin asked.362Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzn6E2Sba
362Please respect copyright.PENANAMzcE2ZudjQ
"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.362Please respect copyright.PENANA6fWXUppYvU
362Please respect copyright.PENANAuyhlo5xXMM
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAvSTbGdOeeB
362Please respect copyright.PENANAoK2kIDmXSB
He looked at me and said, "You look just fine. No one would recognize you with just your eyes."362Please respect copyright.PENANAXccAt86meo
362Please respect copyright.PENANAKMxyb0Cyfo
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAwzEgtJgafb
362Please respect copyright.PENANACK0bbw9kLW
"Wow, Lee," said Mike from the back seat. "You look like someone's aunt."362Please respect copyright.PENANALdzZWajiSt
362Please respect copyright.PENANAtVSgzXXVFO
Lee frowned at him. "You really know how to compliment someone, don't you, Mike?"362Please respect copyright.PENANAJBSWdSYqNd
362Please respect copyright.PENANAl8iKZg8yUj
"These dark glasses might make me look like a stinkbug." Mike laughed362Please respect copyright.PENANAEqHnHRPcW0
362Please respect copyright.PENANAlXoco6HR6Y
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAdq199B7o0u
362Please respect copyright.PENANAjum1pTmCsT
"I bet I look like someone's aunt, too," said Christine, as she also dressed herself like Lee.362Please respect copyright.PENANAujB2H2TntY
362Please respect copyright.PENANA0RnUMlbxtz
"No need for me to say it then," said Mike, as he snickered onward.362Please respect copyright.PENANA2aRd1bIXrP
362Please respect copyright.PENANAAGw5tmbDp8
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANA1qQQ8vI0S6
362Please respect copyright.PENANAfkSSP7eizp
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAOD8w5bxELg
362Please respect copyright.PENANAwqYzVkYKYx
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANArb9CKGGuOF
362Please respect copyright.PENANAefdFZueSpM
"Zoey does owe us some quality shopping time," said Christine as she also looked out of the window, sounding envious.362Please respect copyright.PENANABasZJJCgOd
362Please respect copyright.PENANAxA79UvLd3W
"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."362Please respect copyright.PENANAmz6QqNdxh6
362Please respect copyright.PENANAXUMeLDZZ8H
"Okay, let's go," said Lee as she stepped out of the car.362Please respect copyright.PENANAAXyxHRFvf7
362Please respect copyright.PENANACnVnh001dA
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANAgrN9gLewLe
362Please respect copyright.PENANAxpONOemhtJ
"Are you ready to go?" Jungkook, who stood next to me, asked. Daniel had just closed the car door behind him.362Please respect copyright.PENANAX4ftqHvRhG
362Please respect copyright.PENANAMmdp72yhMP
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.362Please respect copyright.PENANATtGDoA8pzT
362Please respect copyright.PENANA1WIhD6HMdX
I gave him a nod. "Yes, you two lead the way," I said.362Please respect copyright.PENANAERFiw5mrgs
362Please respect copyright.PENANAnITCo2wlBv
We crossed the road towards the loud and vibrant Hongdae Street.
