"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...

Namjoon face planted into his bed without a second thought. Dust from the bedsheets flies into his face, causing him to sputter and choke.
After recovering from his almost-asthma-attack, he looked around his old bedroom. Everything was (of course) sea themed. Wave patterns and little cartoon crabs adorned every object in sight. The man sighed at his previous obsessive tendencies.
Namjoon walked up to the his old desk. It was currently up to his knee, like most of the furniture in the room. He felt like a giant in the tiny room clearly fit for a child. His eyes curiously scanned over the desk before he reached down for a leather-bound book.
Flipping through the pages, he came to realize that the book was full of doodles. The first few pages were adorned with colorful drawings of crabs. Namjoon let out a deep chuckle at one rather... creative drawing.
It was a picture of a boy with dark blue hair wearing a seashell crown. The boy was surrounded by crabs. They seemed to be... well, worshipping him.
Continuing to flip through the book Namjoon noticed that there were 11 more drawings of boys. They all included strangely specific details, like one having pink hair. Another picture included another seemingly young boy who had blue hair, just like the first drawing. Except this one was making a sand castle.
The two drawings of blue haired boys were very similar. Yet, something in Namjoon told him that they were depictions of separate people.
Before he could look at more drawings, a yawn passed through his lips. He was pretty mentally drained from the 'kidnapping', and decided it was the perfect time for a nap.
I'macting like Yoongi hyung... he thought as he set the book down. Namjoon walked over the the tiny bed before plopping down on top of the sheets. Most of the dust had flown off earlier, making it livable enough for the tired man-child.
And so, Namjoon drifted off into dreamland.

Namjoon was awakened for the second time that day, this time by a gentle knock at the door. Namjoon immediately ruled out Yoongi and Hoseok as suspects. Hoseok would bang on the door so hard that it came off its hinges, while Yoongi would just barge in. So, this had to be Jin. Namjoon scrambled out of bed, opting for sitting on the edge instead.
"Come in!"
Jin slightly opened the door before peeking his head into the room. He chuckled slightly at Namjoon's disheveled state.
"Hey, Joon!" Jin greeted the younger man. "I just wanted to let you know that we're all going to sit around the campfire out back for the night. You wanna join us?"
