"Let me get this straight: Some old paper name-dropped us and now we're supposed to help find a missing child?"
"Essentially, yeah."

When a vulnerable nation of crabs enlists his help, Namjoon sets off on a journey to find a missing boy...

A tiny boy ran across the sandy beach in excitement, bouncing around like a squirrel on drugs. He lifted rocks and seaweed, anxious to find one of them.
As time went by, he started to get anxious. What if he didn't find one before it was time to go back home? That would simply break his little heart.
In one last attempt, he pushed a large rock out of its previous position.
Jackpot!
Under the barnacle infested rock there were multiple small creatures.
"cRaBs!!" the little boy screeched, startling the baby crabs. They all started to evacuate the area.
'I'm not dealing with this shit again...' one crab thought as it fled.
The boy started to panic. He grabbed at the crabs in a pathetic attempt at catching one.
"nO, nO, nO!! wAiT-"
Just as he was about to snatch one, it pinched him with its tiny-ass claw.
"gOtTa gO fAsT~" the crab chirped before stumbling away.
The boy was left sitting there, no crabs in sight. He began sniffling before bursting into salty tears.
"wAaaaAaaaAaaHh-" he sobbed, snot running down his face. He sat there for a good 17 minutes crying his eyes out until his mom found him.
"Namjoon! There you are, I was worried sick! Why are you crying?" his mom crouched down beside him, bringing his shaking form into a hug.
He tried to make a coherent sentence through his snot and tears, "C-crabs- p-p-pinch- a-and-"
"Oh, Namjoonie," his mother sighed, "let's get you cleaned up." She helped him to his feet and led him back to their beach blanket.
From a little ways away, the crab who attacked him watched from its hiding spot. One thought ran through his mind as he ruminated on all of the trouble he just caused....which was immeasurably worse than a merr crab pinch.
'What have I done.....'
