Donghae has asked Leeteuk.

"Have you seen Hyukjae around?"

"Hyukjae? Uh, not since he quit, why?"

 

He's asked Donghwa again.

"Have you seen Hyukjae anywhere?"

"Where would I see him? Oh, and you never told me -- hey, where are you going?"

 

He's called Heechul. Who's usually always caught up somewhere. Working.

"Have you seen Hyukjae or heard anything about him?"

"No. But I meant to ask dad because he knew Mr. Kwan personally, it's just that he's been really busy since two weeks and I never know when he has a free moment--"

"Okay, let me know as soon as you can."

 

Donghae's left a few voicemails. Again. For Hyukjae.

"Um, hi, this is Donghae... I, um, I know you're probably wondering why I'm bothering you again and um, yeah, I shouldn't be calling you and you're probably tired of listening to my messages, uh, that's if you... heard them at all -- anyway, I just wanted to check up on you? A-Are you okay? Would you be able to just... maybe give me a call, please? Or... or just even send a message to say you're fine..."

 

Donghae's contemplated asking Siwon. He's hung out in the parking garage. Wondered if he might glimpse them. But he's been unsuccessful.

Donghae's checked KissThyLips. Every few hours. He's finally commented. Joined other commenters. Inquired about him.

It's gotten him quite worried. He gets desperate enough to ask Jaeho.

Because what if he did anything to him? Or his family? Jaeho managed to make Hyukjae quit. Right? So what if he made him move or something?

"Hi. Have you seen Hyukjae in the past two weeks? I'd appreciate anything you can tell me."

Donghae thought he was polite enough. But he soon finds out...

Jaeho's blocked him.

"Son of a--" Donghae throws his phone. Into the passenger seat. Hits his head on the steering wheel. "!"

He's parked further away. From Hyukjae's building. He just thought... what if it's his appearance here? Heechul's? What if that's made Hyukjae hide? Disappear like this?

But it doesn't explain KissThyLips!

That's what makes him more anxious. Because why should Hyukjae show no signs there? No one knows him. Do they?

Wait, but if he didn't want to be known... and someone did find out...

Then he'd delete his account. Right? He just hasn't been online. Like if he's too sick or...

Donghae's heart drops. He feels cold. With dread.

"No, no," Donghae says. Out loud. Shakes his head. Rubs his arms. "T-There would've been something -- like on the news, or... or police... or...."

He brings his window down. Breathes in deeply. Two weeks is a long ing time. If anything happened to Hyukjae... someone would know. It would get to them.

Is he just being an obsessed and stalkerish creep right now? He is, isn't he?

Maybe Hyukjae went on a vacation!

He turns his car on again. Drives. He goes around the street slowly. Gets a few annoyed people's glares. At the lack of space for him to be loitering. But he's looking. For any clue. As to what could've happened. Something he missed. Anything.

He sees nothing.

Donghae ends up parking closer to the building again. The balcony with the supposed landlady is empty. She might call the cops on him. If he goes up to ask for Hyukjae again. But it might help Donghae get answers...

Maybe he can pay her? For any information?

Donghae hears a car drive slowly past him. From the corner of his eye... he sees it. Come around. It stops on the opposite side. Donghae's chewing off his nail. Trying to think of what to do. Eyes on the building. He hears a car door close. He has to turn. Look at that familiar car. Audi.

He gasps.

That's Siwon!

Donghae sinks. Reaches for the seat controls. Lowers back completely.

Siwon doesn't see him.

He's wearing a mask. Wearing a long coat. He crosses the street. There's uncertainty. Caution. The way he looks up at the building. Its undoored entrance. He buttons and s his coat. Then steps up into the dimmed stairway. 

Donghae's heart is hammering.

Siwon must have never been here before. Is this his first time? Did he come for Hyukjae? Was he called here? Or is he still... asking about him?

The thought worries him more. Donghae's on pins and needles. He thinks of going in too. See what Siwon's doing. If Siwon gets to enter. If Hyukjae's there.

Damn, Donghae just wants to know.

If he's alive. If he's okay.

But he manages to sit. To wait.

Around fifteen minutes later... Siwon emerges. Donghae tries to watch him. Search him for any hints--

No. H

Chapter 14: Finally I got even with this story as well!
Hyukjae’s background is so intriguing! I wonder how did he hurt Jaeho’s family? And will Donghae still feel this way towards him once he will know?
I’m very curious about how their relationship will evolve too without having Donghae looking like a stalker😂 he gets so sentire about his safety, it’s so tender!
Anyway, I’ll stop blabbering, will be patiently waiting! Good job 👏🏻

Chapter 14: hyuk’s past is so mysterious. been rereading this and somehow I can see the connection. hmm. would it be possible that Hyuk was left to Mr. Kim’s care by Mr. Kwan who is rumored to be his dad? cos heechul and jaeho’s fam had been friends from the beginning and heechul even mentioned that hyuk was watching them playing then and that Mr. Kwan always brought him over trips. With regards to Jaeho’s mom mental illness and his dad’s passing. Could it be that it was Mrs. Kwan who’s guilty because of her illness, or that certain incident drove her to have that mental illness.

was rereading and then saw the clues. haha not really sure if these are true but well, just a guess :))

Chapter 14: I need to say I kinda like Hae's stepdad, even Donghae might have his reasons not to trust him or searching for any flaws. But he seems clam and might be the only real support Hyukkie has. But I also want to know, like Hae, what his connection is to Hyukjae. So I'm waiting for him to have a proper talk.

Donghae is so desperate and worried, I wish Hyukkie knows there's someone out there who cares for him that much. I don't know if Hyuk had pushed Siwon aside completely or are they still connected, but Hyuk's trust in his lover can't be this big. Sure he is a guy who don't wants to bother others with his problems, but when he let Hae's stepdad accompany him, then there must be a difference between Siwon and him, at least for Hyukjae.

The update on his YouTube channel is scary. I know he wants to let his followers know he's fine, (or maybe a certain of his followers?) but this is that kind of messages you see on social media and know that this person needs help. Professional help. Poor Hyukkie, I hope he's really ok, especially after losing his mom. Thanks for coming back to this ❤️

Chapter 14: That was a yikes there Donghae. He made a big and scandalous assumption about his step father and Hyukjae’s relationship and it would’ve wedged his own relationship with him and the rest of his family. Mr Kim was so patient to carefully explain what had actually happened. I am relief to hear that he was there to comfort Hyukjae, at least Hyukjae got someone he can trust.

Whilst Donghae is immensely worried for Hyukjae, I’m conflicted as he doesn’t have the right to barge into Hyukjae’s life. He was only Hyukjae’s boss and a fan of his insta, which Hyukjae doesn’t know, so Donghae has no meaningful connection to Hyukjae. His behaviour could be akin to being a stalker and although it is not Donghae’s intention, however as of now it would definitely send the wrong message to Hyukjae. I hope he is okay but he’s most likely not...

Thanks for the update!

Chapter 14: Donghae's really in too deep, basically to the point of an unhealthy obsession with Hyukjae. Even if it started off as mostly kind concern for someone he was admittedly attracted to. His family must be so alarmed seeing him like this. He should probably alarm himself, taking a step back to view things objectively now.

So...as bitter as the circumstances are, Hyukjae is finally free and untethered, will he leave the country now? As terrible the things he wants to run from are, at least here he seems to have some supportive people. (It's a relief that Donghae's stepfather was actually helping him.) What would he do, alone, elsewhere? Have a better shot at a peaceful and happy life? Rather, a first chance at one? Either way, stay or leave, Hyukjae deserves that, so hopefully he will take the chance for himself. However it looks, and whoever is involved.

Thanks for the update, this story is so dark and sad, but it feels close to a turning point where things could get better. ♡

Chapter 13: What indeed. Probably nothing good. 🤔 Seems like everyone wants something from Hyukjae, if I were him I'd probably hide, avoid, and run away from everyone too. Is there anyone he actually thinks he can trust or rely on now? Donghae has those good intentions but he's still a (kinda pushy and intrusive) stranger at this point. How they'll close this divide, is hard to imagine. Unless whatever is going on with the stepfather will be the connecting factor between them.
