Writer POV

Johor Bahru, Malaysia

As Jinki was busy searching for appropriate snacks and drinks in the kitchen, Mark was busy observing Jinki and thinking the best way to approach Jinki. After some thinking, he decided that honesty probably the best option here. He decided to tell 50% of the truth to Jinki instead of going around the bush.

“Hyung, I actually has something to confess.” said Mark

“Confess? Don’t tell me that you like Farah and wanted me to help you with that?” said Jinki without even sparing Mark a glance since he’s still concentrating on his task.

“Ewww. Both of us are like siblings. What you’re saying is basically the same as I like my sister more that sibling love. No that’s not it. I think we should take a sit first before we start this conversation. Let me just send these to Jackson and Farah. You can make yourself comfy on the bar stool there.

“Ok then. Just listen to me and please don’t interrupt me. You can do that after I finish everything ok.” said Mark that earned a nod from Jinki.

“Okay then. It was around 3 weeks ago, I contacted Farah to ask her on her well-being. So we were talking as usual sharing stories and in the middle of our conversation a topic on SHINee suddenly came out. You may not know this but SHINee’s name has been on the limelight in industry back in Korea because of your disappearance here in Malaysia. I actually mention to Farah because she is SHINee’s fan and her father has the power to help out here in Malaysia maybe they can help us search your whereabouts faster. I guess I sounded desperate and also since she can’t really keep anything from me, she actually told me that you’re in the safe hands of her dad’s people and you’re currently staying with her in JB. When I heard that, I instantly know what I’m supposed to do. I need to come here and convince you to go back to your group hyung. So I went to the company to ask for a
