" One of things I like about looking at pictures when you're young and also meeting back with old friends you haven't seen in a long time is, for me, it's a glimpse of who I was. "

-Lea Thompson


Merlin birds flew through the blue canvas after the day-star had set with a beautiful sapphire and small hues of yellow and red fire. Their wings spread freely in the sky while the man's cinnamon eyes followed them until they darted away from his view.

He then laid his eyes on the small pond where the red-haired male was walking past.

" Jay, careful where you are walking. This side of the pond can be quite slippery. " Half-shouted Taehyung.

The man in question stopped in his tracks, turned around, and shrugged his shoulder before he kept walking. He blankly stared in front of him as he stepped on the wooden pond while his mind was busy thinking of some unwanted problems. Suddenly, he noticed the nurse walking next to him, and a question popped into his mind.

" Say, " He first said to grab his attention, " Where is that woman? "

Confused, the golden-haired male frowned, thinking about what the patient could mean with his question, " What woman? "

" That woman, that Hobi and Hoseok had befriended. Where is she? I can feel them both anxious, which is why I'm here after so long. "

Finally, understanding what he meant, the nurse replied, " Ah, you mean Nana, right? " He witnessed the man slightly nod his head. " She is gone. She left the hospital about two weeks ago. "

The cherry haired male rapidly snapped his head toward Taehyung and asked, " How? Is she the one with the rumors? "

" The rumors? " Repeated the man. A deep sigh escaped his lips after he admitted, " Yes, she is. "

" So, there is a way to escape this hospital... " Muttered, Jay.

Frowning, Taehyung denied, " Careful Jay. Nana's case is different. The police are still looking for her, and they might find her. After your several failed attempt, you must know by now- "

" Shut up. I don't need you to tell me that! "

Taken back, the young man watched Jay walking away from him with an irritated look on his face.

" Guess, even he is worried about her. " Said Taehyung before he laid his eyes toward the sky again, making a wish to the stars. " Please be safe, Nana. "

At the same time, on the other side of town, detective Lee and detective Kim were having a relevant discussion about Park Jinyoung and Kang Sejun's connection.

After Mr. Lee confession on his research on Son Hyeonwu's death, their long, lost colleague who died on an intervention to catch the mob lord, Kang Sejun, they met up at an abandoned garage. They had renovated it a few years ago before using it as a location to investigate cases they couldn't do or had not the time to review at the police station.

" It has been a year already... " Said detective Kim as he stared at the picture of their lost friend.

In front of him were different pictures and stick notes with dates and names written on them. Various colored threads were connecting each photo with pieces of information he wasn't aware of were written beside them.

The other man nodded, " It has. "

" Why haven't you told me anything? For how long have you been doing this? "
