❝ A couple made in heaven.❞
"Did you happen to see a woman with big eyes and about this tall?" Soohyun held up a hand up just under his chin. The lady shook her head. Soohyun let out a sigh of disappointment, as he bowed and departed from her. He wondered the streets aimlessly. With no signs of Gain anywhere. "Just where did she disappear to...?" He whispered to himself as he spun in circles, his eyes scanning for her appearance. Seyeon opened the phone to see if there were any clues she could get to learn of the owner. When she went to open the contacts and message, her eyes widen a little when she was familiar with the numbers and names. She stopped dead in her tracks to check the number of the cell phone. She wrapped her fingers around and spun around, after noticing it was Seungho's, she ran back the way she came from. When she arrived at the single bench that she and Gain sat on together, she noticed it was empty. Gain wasn't there. Seyeon sighed and head back to Soohyun's place to look for Seungho.
Seungho and Jiyeon was cuddling on the couch, and though they looked comfortable, they were troubled by what have happened. Jiyeon had her arms around Seungho's waist as she rest her head against his chest. And his chin was up against the side of her head. "As his sister, I guess I should understand Soohyun. But will Seyeon be able to?" Jiyeon thought aloud. "It doesn't matter. She'd have to accept it either way." Jiyeon sighed a little, "I remember the moment when I first saw her with Soohyun, a little over two years ago. I thought they were a couple made from heaven." Seungho kept silent. And the silence was broken when Seyeon walked in and invited herself in. "Seungho." Seyeon started, "Where's your phone?" Jiyeon sat up from Seungho but kept her arms around him. "My phone?" Seungho asked. "Yeah do you have it with you?" Seungho pause for a moment then move to search his pockets. Finally recalling where he last left it, he sigh a little. "I left it with someone. Why?" "What's going on?" Jiyeon asked, looking into Seungho's eyes for an answer. But before Seungho could provide an explanation, Seyeon pulled out his phone and hand it over to him. "That person asked me to find the owner, she said she had something to say to you. Did you know her?" Jiyeon frowned, "Seungho gave a woman his phone?" Seungho could sense jealousy in Jiyeon's tone. Apparently she had gotten the wrong idea. "She couldn't walk and needed to someone to come get her." "But the point is you left your phone with a stranger. You never know, she may be a bad person and does something crazy." "I wasn't thinking about that when I gave her my phone—" "Then what were you thinking about?" She questioned in a lower and dangerous tone. Seyeon didn't expect them to fight over the short message she had just delivered. Seungho looked directly into Jiyeon's eyes. Her face was drained of any traces of warmth and happiness. "You. It was after I got the call from you." At that Jiyeon relaxed her facial features a little. "Then what about what Seyeon said just now?" "What did she say?" Seungho asked only focusing on Jiyeon, as if Seyeon was absent in the room. "She said the woman had something to say to you." Seungho stole a quick glance over to Seyeon who quietly help herself out of the room. "How would I know?" Seungho asked. "Next time...." Jiyeon reached over and placed her hands over one of his, "Don't leave your phone with strangers....It's not a good idea. You're lucky this person was good enough to leave it in Seyeon's hands." Seungho exhaled sharply, "I'll keep that in mind." Their moment was interrupted when Soohyun ran in, soaked in sweat. "Seungho!" Seungho and Jiyeon spun around to face him, upon hearing his voice Seyeon also came out from the hallway. "I need help...." They began gathering around Soohyun and then Seungho was the first to speak. "What's wrong?" "We need to find her now—" He paused for a moment to see Seyeon and Jiyeon's eyes on him, then quickly continue, "It'll be dark soon and we need to find her." "Who are you talking about?" Jiyeon jumped in this time, "Are you looking for that woman from earlier...?" Soohyun nodded instead of answering. It was still slightly awkward for him to talk comfortably with her again at the moment. "Seyeon and Seungho won't know what she looked like....We'll help you look for her." "Wait, what woman?" Seyeon asked on the side. "I'll explain while we look for her. Seungho if you don't mind can you help Jiyeon? I'l
