Jinyoung-a,let’s meet at the nearby park.

Jinyoung's face lightened upon reading the message. Three days have passed since Jisoo went missing and he is about to die because of worry. He tried texting and calling her but her phone was tuned off. She might have left a message but he still can’t help but to worry about her.
