「Jesse 」

I tried authentic Korean barbecue from Korea and I never felt so blessed in my life. When Hannah and her parents lived in the States, they used to invite me for dinner so of course I have eaten Korean barbecue in their household. It was technically the same thing, but I don't know why this one felt more authentic.

Aside from a lovely evening, what was strange is that neither Namjoon or Taehyung have made an appearance like they have promised to Hannah. She tried calling them but both of their phones would transfer directly to the operator. Hannah got so mad, that when we were in her room after dinner and her phone rang, she completely ignored it.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" I point at the ringing mobile.

"I don't hear anything." She lies with pride and exits the room. Her aggravating action makes me grab her phone and just like I thought it is her brother's number. I re-dialed his phone number and by the third ring someone answered the phone.

"Hello? Kim Hayeon-ssi?"

"Uh, this is actually her friend, Jesse... Namjoon?" I couldn't help but asking because the voice didn't sound like his.

"Hello... Jesse. I'm calling you from Gangnam 16th Police Station, this is Officer Min and I was wondering if I can speak with Kim Hayeon, regarding Kim Taehyung and her brother Namjoon? I called just few minutes ago..." The voice on the other side of the line says, and I automatically start walking out to look for Hannah.

"Sorry about that, Officer. It's that Hayeon is not in good terms with her brother at the moment so she thought it was him since, you know, you're using his phone." I knock on the bathroom door and I get no response whatsoever. I bit the inside of my cheek. "Um, are Namjoon and Taehyung alright?"

"You know them personally?" He asks me.

"I'm staying in the Kim's house for a few days. I'm really close to Hayeon." I sigh and head downstairs, trying my best not to make any noise to wake Mr. and Mrs. Kim.

"Ah, I see. Well, earlier they were caught vandalizing a closed store with graffiti." I stop midway down the stairs as I hear this. "Everything would have been fine if they haven't run away."

"Oh boy..." Just as I say that, Hannah appears at the end of the stairs and gets startled by my sudden presence. "Oh! Hayeon is here, let me pass you to her." I shove the cellphone to her and she stares at me confused. "It's the police."

She looks down at the screen. "But it's Namjoon's number..." Her eyes widens. "Did something happen--"

"Shhhh! Don't continue raising your voice! Nothing bad happened to them..." She heaves of relief, until I speak again. "Well, they got arrested."

She averts her eyes at me again, hoping that I'm joking. I shake my head to bring her back to reality and she puts the phone on her ear. "Hello, this is Kim Hayeon... Officer Min! Oh, thank God."

I glance back, making sure her parents are still asleep. "Ok, I'll see you in a bit." I hear her say, and she immediately hangs up. I look at her and she takes a deep breath, clenching her fists tight. "I'm going to kill him."

"Let's go before you end up waking up your parents with your rage." I tell her.

We took a little long getting to the station since we were struggling to exit the house without causing ruckus. As soon as we got to there, we headed directly to the water fountain to hydrate ourselves after the long run. Fortunately, Officer Min was waiting for us at the main desk; and I couldn't help but notice his familiar and young face features.
