Jonghyun's POV:

I woke up from a terrible nightmare the next morning. While I stared at the ceiling I could still see the flashes of my dream appearing before my eyes. Key lying on the floor, bleeding.... He standing beside him and laughing while looking at me.... 
I sighed and decided to get out of bed. 

Not much later I let the warm water of the shower wash away the memories of my nightmare, hoping it would never happen again. This time it hadn't been a vision, but just a plain nightmare. 

Quickly I ate breakfast and thought about what he would do today. I didn't want to do the same as yesterday. It was obvious that wouldn't work. I decided to go to the Centre. If Key was here without a reason, he would at least go shopping, I was sure about that. 

An half hour later I walked down the main street of Busan, making my way through the crowd. This was not going to work, I thought desperately, while I looked around. The change of finding Key in this crowd was really small. Still I had to keep trying. I began to asked people if they had seen a blond boy around my age, but none of them gave me any clues.

It was almost noon already when I saw someone who made my heart stop. A flash of blond hair had come in sight and I felt my hopes rise. I quickly shoved the people out my way, absently apologizing, not wanting to lose my target. This was it. This was the moment I had been waiting for. Finally I would be able to take him in my arms and tell him how much I love him.

I smiled and started to walk even faster. 

Eventually I reached the person with the blond hair and I laid my hand on his shoulder. "Key, I'm so gla-"

I stopped when I saw a girl looking up at me confused.

"Excuse me, but what are you doing?" She asked in English. 

I just looked at her foolishly and realized she was a tourist and not Key. I smiled then and shook my head.

"I-I'm sorry. My fault..." I stammered in the little English I knew. 

She smiled. "It's okay. It happens to me often." She said, but I had already tuned out.

How could I be so stupid to think I would just find him here walking around? Still I felt a little bit of hope dying inside me. I sighed and apologized again and then walked away.

Although I was looking for Key, I still couldn't ignore the beauty of this city. It was big and crowded, but still gave of a cozy feeling. If I was here with Key, it would be pure paradise I realized and I smiled at the irony of that thought. I actually was here with Key. He just wasn't with me.

I sat down on a bench in the park and closed my eyes for a few seconds. I really hated not having a method to work with. I was used to planning things and knowing what I was to expect. I felt exhausted, not only by the lack of sleep, but also because of my injuries. Although I had neglected them because of the search of Key, I could still feel the pain in my ribs and I cringed.  

"So... Are you looking for your precious boyfriend?"

I shot up and turned around.

Behind the bench the person I had hoped to never see again in my life, was staring at me and grinning.

I felt panic caught in my throat.

This was not happening, this was not happening.

Key's POV:

I was starting to like Jessie, I realized. She was open, smart, friendly and beautiful. She was nice company to be in. 

When we were done eating, it was already getting dark outside. The streetlights flashed on and lightened up our way while we walked in the direction of the library. 

"I think we've done enough for today. You wanna meet tomorrow?" She asked and I nodded gladly.

I had felt alone and scared in this big city, so it was nice to have someone to talk to every day. I still hadn't forgotten about Jonghyun of course. How could I ever forget him? His beautiful smile and his twinkling eyes were the things that kept my day worthwhile, although I knew I would never see him again. 

"Where do you live?" I asked Jessie politely. I was still a gentleman and I wouldn't let her go home alone in the dark. 

She smiled. "It's quite far actually. Like a half hour walk. I wouldn't want to bother you with that. I can find my way back home by myself." She said, but I shook my head.

"No, I wouldn't be a real gentleman if I would let you go alone in the dark, would I?" I said and surprisingly enough I saw her blush.

"T-Thank you, Key." She stammered and we walked next to each other in silence for a while.

"So... You told me you a friend, Jonghyun. How is he?" She asked curiously after a while and this time I felt myself blush. Luckily we had just passed a streetlight and it was too dark for her to see me blush, at least I hope it was.

"Well, he's a great guy. He's nice, considerate and honest and sometimes a jerk." I said and I heard her giggle. It was a cute giggle and made me think about the girl I used to have a crush on back in high school, before I had met Jonghyun and things became so strange.

"He sounds nice. He must be a lucky man to have you as a friend." She said and I immediately noticed something weird in her voice.

I stopped and she turned around to face me, her face confused.

"What's the matter, Jessie?" I asked. I really was concerned about her. She had become a good friend in the few hours I had known her.

"N-Nothing... What do you mean?" She asked, but I could still hear it. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but something wasn't right.

"There is something wrong. I can hear it in your voice. Just tell me." I insisted and she sighed.

"I-I once had a friend who was just like him, at least from what I've heard from you. He was nice and always there for me. And although he was a lot older than me, I loved him more than I loved myself. One day I decided to tell him that. He just laughed and thanked me. I was so ashamed. After that our relationship did change of course. I became less open around him and in response he became more quiet. Eventually I decided to not contact him anymore and for years I didn't hear anything from him... Till a few months ago. He called me, asking me for help. Of course I immediately said yes. I had never forgotten him and I never would. He asked me to meet him in Seoul and I immediately went to the place we would me.
There he was. Standing like nothing had happened at all and we had just seen each other yesterday. Although I was happy to see him again, I felt something wasn't quite the same as it used to be. His eyes had lost their soft twinkle it seemed like something had hardened him for the rest of his life. From that moment on I knew I had lost the friend he once used to be. But still I decided to help him and I kept hoping that one day he would become the man I loved so dearly. Till now I still don't know if it will work out, but at least I'm glad I got to see him again."  

I was speechless after the whole story. I had imagined her to be through such a thing. Just the thought of Jonghyun rejecting me and not seeing him for years in the future, made the world spin before my eyes.

"I-I'm so sorry, Jessie. I never expected anything like this." I whispered.

It stayed quiet for a while but then I heard something I couldn't really identify right away. Suddenly I realized she was crying. 

I was shocked. She used to be so cheerful and careless. For a moment I didn't know what to do. Then I walked up to her and put my arms around her. I embraced her and she instinctively put her head on my shoulder and her arms slipped around my waist. 

For a while we just stood there while she was crying into my shoulder. Then she lifted her head and I looked down, into her big blue eyes.

"I-I'm so s-sorry. I've d-drenched your s-shirt with my t-tears." She said with a voice full of tears, but I smiled.

"Don't worry. What's important is that you can finally trust someone and I will help you." I said. 

Jessie backed away, but still kept her arms around my waist. She kept looking into my eyes and I was almost hypnotized by her strong stare.

"You already are..." She said and suddenly her stare shifted to something behind me.

Before I could turn around, I felt something hit my head with a force that pushed all the air out my longs and the next moment everything went black.

"You already are..." I heard Jessie whispering while she let me slide on the cold concrete.
