"Honey, are you sure that you'll going to be fine there in Japan? You can go home if you changed your mind..." Their Aunt Mirae sounded worried through the phone, which she really is.

"I've already arrived, Auntie. Don't worry, I'm fine! Currently with Uncle Johnny!" Jiseun said happily, "Hello little sis!" Uncle Johnny shrieked.

"Oh, pfft. Hey." Aunt Mirae scoffed, "Anyway, I wanna talk to Johnny, perhaps you could lend him your phone first eh?" She said.

"Sure auntie." Jiseun handed him her phone.

"Hi sis! You missed me?" Johnny smiled, "Whatever John, just take care of her please.." Aunt Mirae continued, "She's still there?"

"Nope. She went out to get some air." Johnny sighed, "Why, what's the prob?"

"Oh well, she transferred there to have a new life, she just broke up with Hyunjin." Mirae said. "Oh! Hyunjin! I know his brother!" Johnny laughed.

"Shut it. Just— please, take care of her. Did you find a new school already?"

"Yeah. School starts at July 17. Still have 2 months left."

"Okay.. would she come back?"

"I.. don't know either.."

"Uh.. fine then. Take care." Mirae hung up the call.

Minho, Chan and Changbin had a little talk after the others already went home.

"I heard what you said a while ago, Minho." Chan said as he took a sip from his drink, "What did he say?" Changbin asked. "He said that—," Chan was cut off by Minho, "I think things will not get better."

They all looked at Minho in surprise, "What? Why?" Changbin scoffed.

"Jiseun doesn't know about Hyunjin's health, guys." Chan realized, "But why he didn't get depressed over Siwon?" Changbin asked.

"He didn't really loved Siwon, Binnie. It was all just a puppy love." Minho continued, "But this, this one is different. Jiseun and Hyunjin, they really loved each other, it was no puppy love. And now that they're over, what would Hyunjin feel now?"

Chan sighed, he decided to call Hyunjin.

But he wasn't picking up.

"Dammit, why isn't he answering??" Chan tapped his foot, he already called Hyunjin 10 times already yet he's still not answering Chan's calls, they all started to get worried.

-

"Ya!! Jeongin! Seungmin!!" Minho banged the door, it was 1am, "What the hell hyung?!" Jeongin shouted as he opened the door, his hair was ruffled, "Seungmin! Where's Seungmin??" Changbin shouted.

"Why are you all are screaming?! What's happening?!" Jeongin yelled back. "Hyunjin is not picking our calls for 5 hours now and we also called his brothers if he's at home but he isn't! We checked the dorm and he's not there!" Chan explained, shouting.

"In short, Hyunjin is fucking missing!" Changbin cursed, All of them looked at him in frustration, "Oops, sorry."

"What the heck is happening here?" Seungmin appeared, finally, his hair was also ruffled. "Hyung! Hyunjin is missing!" Jeongin said worriedly.

"Should we call Jiseun? Does she know about this?" Seungmin asked, "No. And don't call her, don't tell her about this. She's having a new start and we don't want to ruin that." Chan run his hand through his hair.

"Jisung please pick up.." Chan called Jisung through his phone.

"It's 2am Chan hyung for god's sake what do you want???" Jisung said with his voice still rusty, "Hyunjin.."

"Hyunjin's missing bro."

-

The eight of them are looking for Hyunjin for nearly 4 hours, "I'm running out of gas, I guess we should walk." Chan said.

"Or run." Jeongin added.

The sun is about to rise yet they still haven't found Hyunjin, they searched every place where Hyunjin would go if he's broken, bored, or happy.

But there's one place they didn't go yet, because they don't know where Hyunjin and Jiseun first kiss happened.

It was on the park near Jisung's house with the view of the city.

"I'm so tired.." Jeongin said, running out of breath.

"Wait.." Jisung said, "Where did their first kiss happened?"

-

They all ran toward the park, finally, they saw him.

Minho's knees fell into the ground.

Jeongin gasped.

Chan and Jisung ran toward Hyunjin,

"Hyunjin! Hyunjin!!!" Chan shouted.

Hyunjin was laying on the ground, unconscious.
