Yuri brushed his face with his shaking hands, everyone in the room just keep silent as they braced themselves to his outrage.  Hyoyeon was observing from the glass wall, he is in the other room along with Yoon- ah who was busy sorting out new assignments that were requested by their clients.

 

It’s been weeks since Amber left and went missing. Hyoyeon tried to look for him and contact him outside Yuri’s knowledge who stubbornly ignored the disappearance of his brother, but he failed. Last week Yoon received a signal from the tracking device that was registered to Amber, but only the device was recovered and that got Yuri’s attention.  Since then Yuri send out almost all of their agents to track Amber where about but it seems that they have returned empty handed again.   “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN’T FIND HIM?” Yuri’s voiced boomed. He darkly glared at the six men in front of him,  “You!”  He pointed the tallest among the six.   “Yes, Sir!” The man immediately responded.   “Care to explain, why you can’t find a twenty year old kid?” He asked as he lifts the useless report in front of him.   “Amber shi.. Hide his tracks purposely sir. We found the last electronic foot print in Incheon but there that was two weeks ago, we have checked if he did go outside the country but there is no record, and the tracking device was found 45 miles.  We checked on everywhere that he might go—“   “When you say everywhere, what do you mean?” Yuri snapped.   “ W-we check hotels, clubs, police stations, public transportations stations, hospitals and m-morgues”  The man stuttered with the last place .   Yuri gritted his teeth as he punched the man’s jaw  “MY BROTHER IS NOT DEAD!”  He yelled, before he knows it Hyoyeon and Yoon was already in his side restraining his arms while the others tend the man who was lying on the floor with bleeding mouth.  “DON’T SHOW YOUR FACE HERE IF YOU DON’T WANT ME TO SEND YOU PERSONALLY TO THE PLACE YOU CHECKED!”  Yuri tried to free himself from his friends and to beat the fallen man senseless..   “Just get him out of here” Hyoyeon ordered the men who immediately obeyed, not wanting to stay with their angry boss.   “Hyung, calm down” The doe eyed man whispered.   “let go of me” Yuri ordered the two.   Hyoyeon and Yoon release him as soon the room was cleared.   ‘There’s no point getting mad to our agents, it’s not their fault. They are just doing their job” Hyoyeon said and he earned a glare from the agitated Yuri.   “Whose fault is it then?” Yuri mocked him.   Hyoyeon just sighed with Yuri’s attitude, He don’t know if he will be happy that at last his friend showed some kind of emotion towards his brother or be mad because the man vent all of his negative emotion to everybody. Amber is Yuri’s only family, though they are not in good terms normally because of Yuri’s coldness… Hyoyeon witnessed how Yuri took care of his brother since childhood, there’s no doubt that Yuri will do everything for him, is just that Yuri has a funny way showing it.. and now that Amber was nowhere to be found, Yuri is worried.   “It’s no one’s fault.. We will find him.” Hyoyeon said diplomatically.   “Hyo, Amber might be in danger.” Yuri whispered as he exhaustedly drops himself to the chair.   “If you’re that worried, then lets search for him by ourselves” Yoon suggested the older men, “It will be faster if we will be the one to move”   Yuri thought of that as well so immediately nodded, “You’re right, we will start tomorrow, terminate all the classified missions. We will stop our operations”   Hyo looked at Yuri in shocked expression, for 8 years not a single day they have stop or terminate any of the missions. “Are you sure about that?”   “No one will hunt, until I find my brother” Yuri said as walked outside. “We must find him”   Hyo and Yoon were left looking at each other.     ++++++++++++++++   Amber sighed as he walked to the front desk of the Inn that he was staying for a moment. It’s been a week since he arrived at this place called Mystic Abbey, which he heard about from a sailor that he befriend during his trip. It was a small town that is very far from the city if he must say, he’s been staying here for days now and the whole town was so quite, very peaceful.   People were mostly farmers, but since its winter farming activities were halted and people just hunt to the thick forest that was surrounding the town.   “Oh! Amber!” A beautiful girl in pink sweater greeted him with an eye smile, She is the owner of the Inn.. the only one in this town.   “Tiffany Noona!” He smiled back.   “So where are you heading to, today?” the girl asked as she put down her hot pink reading glasses.   “I guess, I will be looking for a job now… “He scratched his head in embarrassment, He almost spent all of his savings.. By next month Tiffany will surely kick him out because he can’t pay the rent anymore.      The older girl sighed as she gazes at him. “Its winter, it will be hard for you to look for a job… but if you want you can work for me”   “Really?!”  Amber asked excitedly.   “Well yeah… I’m having troubles managing this Inn since fall; I need more hands to help me.”   “Omo, Thank you Noona!”   “That’s fine.. But I can’t pay you the standard rate, but I will provide your food and lodging… how about that?”   “That’s more than fine!” He said, He can’t believe how lucky he is today.   Tiffany laughed “It’s a deal then!”   “What will be my job Noona?”  Amber asked curiously.   “You will be an errand boy, is that okay with you?”   “Of course” Amber grinned   “So your responsibility will be collecting fire woods in the forest and collecting some herbs for me, don’t worry it will be easy for you.. Since your young” Tiffany eyed him “do you think you can do that?”   “Yes! Definitely..”   “Don’t worry I will give you pictures of the herbs that you will collect. You also do some hunting if you want”   Amber felt a familiar sting when he heard the word ‘Hunting’ he remembers his brother back in Seoul.   ‘Hey are you okay?”  Tiffany worriedly nudges him which made him snap.   “Ahm…I’m ok”  He smiled again after his momentary spacing out.   “Don’t worry I will never asked you to bring a deer, squirrels and rabbits will do. They’re not that hard to catch” Tiffany assured him.   “It’s ok Noona.. When will I start?” he asked curiously   “As soon as you want”  The girl answered.   “Can I start now?”   “Sure” Tiffany handed him a shot gun that was hanging in the wall as a display and a small bag of bullets “Here, Use that”   Amber’s eyes widen as he holds the weapon, he really enjoyed shooting since his Hyoyeon Hyung taught him on his 12th birthday. He remembered how happy he was back then even though his own brother forgot about his birthday. “Can I really use this?”   “Yes, It’s a gift..But just fire it on animals okay?!” Tiffany said like a mother. “We don’t want to cause trouble.”   “Sure!”  He bowed to the older girl formally “I will work hard Noona!”   “Good boy” Tiffany giggled.   “Can I hunt now?”   “Yes.. I hope you can bring home a rabbit for dinner”   “I will try my best! I’ll be going now..bye!” After that Amber happily went out of the door grinning like a crazy person as he look at the gun.. It’s so beautiful against the color of snow.   “Wait!” He heard
