I walked through the shallow water as I tried to sort out my feelings and thoughts. So much had happened in such a short amount of time. My head was throbbing from all the thoughts that were sworming my head all at once. I shook my head and sighed deeply. It was no use. No matter how hard I tried to hate Taehyung I couldn't. My heart wouldn't listen to my brain. I was so caught up in my thoughts I hadn't noticed a beach ball heading my way until it hit my thigh. I stopped walking and stared at the ball before picking it up. Suddenly a little boy who looked around Kimmy's age came up to me panting. 

"Is this your ball?" I asked the young boy who looked at me with wide eyes. 

"You're from Seoul?" He aksed me which caught me by surprise. Why was this little boy asking me if I'm from Seoul. I nodded and he smiled. His smile seemed familiar to me. Actually the little boy looked very familiar to me. Almost like I've seen him before, but I wasn't sure where. 

"My family and I came for vacation. Are you and your family on vacation?" He asked me and I fell into a state of deja vu. I knew I've heard these exact words spoken to me before but I didn't know where and when I heard them. I looked at the little boy and couldn't help but feel frustrated at where I had known or met this young boy. 

"No, we live in that beach house over there." I said and once again I was struck by a deja vu trance. I frowned at how much this conversation was reminding me of something that I couldn't even remember. 

"But you don't have an accent like nanny Fei." He said to me and I looked at him once again. Nanny Fei? It was scaring me how many deja vu trances I got from talking to this child who seemed familiar to me.

"We moved here a couple of days ago." I answered him as he nodded at me. I handed him his ball and he took it happily. He looked around for a while before looking at me again.

"My name is Taewon." The little boy introduced himself to me and before I had the chance to reply I felt a tug on my shirt. As I looked down I saw Kimmy standing beside me. 

"What are you doing here by yourself?" I asked her as I knelt down before her making sure she wasn't injured. She looked at the boy before turning to look at me. 

"I saw you leave so I followed you." She responded and I sighed before looking at her. 

"You shouldn't be here by yourself. You could get hurt." I told Kimmy before turning to the little boy before me. "You shouldn't be here by yourself either. You're parents must be worried about you" I said to the little boy and he looked at Kimmy before looking at me. 

"My dad is working and my mother isn't home. Nanny Fei knows I'm here. I left her a note." He explained to me and I felt bad for the little boy. He was here on vacation and his parents were off working while he stayed with a nanny. I emphasized with the boy and he looked at me and Kimmy before smiling. 

"You don't have to be sad. I like being able to play alone all day." He said with a happy tone but for some reason I knew that false happy tone. 

"But aren't you lonely playing by yourself all the time?" Kimmy asked the Taewon. He looked at Kimmy before shaking his head. 

"My big brother plays with me sometimes but he stayed for his girlfriend. Sometimes it is lonely but I'm okay with it." Taewon explained to us with a cheerful grin. Kimmy looked at me and I couldn't help but feeling even more bad for the kid. 

"You don't have to play alone. I'll play with you. I'm Minah. Lee Minah." Kimmy introduced herself with a smile and Taewon smiled from ear to ear.

"I'm Taewon. Kim Taewon." Taewon introduced himself to Kimmy and I felt chills run all over my body. The more I looked at the little boy the more he reminded me of someone. Taewon looked at me and I looked at him confused. 

"I'm Minji. Lee Minji." I introduced myself and Taewin smiled at me even more.

I sat on the steps on our beach house and watched Kimmy and Taewon playing. Suddenly I felt someone sit next to me but I didn't look up beause I knew exactly who it was. 

"Are you still mad at me?" Henry asked me and sighed deeply before facing him. 

"I was never mad at you. I'm mad at myself. I'm mad at how weak I am. At how I'm not able to hate Taehyung. At how I put my family into danger again." I said to Henry as I looked away and faced Kimmy and Taewon again. Henry put his arm around me and pulled me into a side hug. 

"You should never think that way, Crystal. None of this is your fault. If your father protected Taehyung it was for a reason." Henry told me and I could feel my tears ready to escape again. Henry rubbed my arm in an attempt to consule me. 

"You know for someone who hates Taehyung you seem to be defending him like a friend." I told Henry teasingly and I smiled once I heard Henry laughing. 

"Don't get me wrong, I don't like him at all. I'm only doing this to cheer you up. I don't want to win you over just because I have an advantage. I want to win you over fair and square." Henry said and I backed away as I looked at him. He was smiling but I could tell he was serious. I wasn't sure how to react. Was Henry confessing to me?

"Henry." I whispered softly as he looked at me caringly and smiled even more affectionately, 

"This wasn't how I planned confessing to you, but didn't I sound cool?" Henry said with a light chuckle but I was unable to move. I looked at Henry unsure of what to say or do. He looked at me and started laughing even more as he pinched my cheek. I frowned and moved his hand away as he laughed even more. 

"I didn't confess to you expecting an answer." Henry said in between laughs as I frowned at him even more before smiling. I turned and looked at Kimmy running away from Taewon who was chasing her. I smiled upon seeing them. "I didn't want to regret anymore things." I stopped smiling and faced Henry. He was looking out towards the ocean. "I felt like a coward not being able to confess to you. When Taehyung confessed to you felt so much regret for not being that courageous. I regretted not being the first one to confess to you. I didn't want to regret never confessing to you." Henry turned and faced me. My whole body was paralyzed. I was unable to speak or move. "Don't worry I know how you feel. I'm not asking for anything in return. I only wanted to confess." He said to me and I couldn't hlp but feel bad for him. Henry looked at me and poked my forehead backwards. I looked at him confused as he smiled at me. "I'm not saying this to make you pity me either. I just needed to get it out of my chest." Henry said as he got up and looked down at me. He saw my saddened expression and quickly looked away. "Wow how could that jerk do this so easily. I'm already embarressed." Henry said as he walked inside the house again. I couldn't help but feel bad for him. I never once knew how Henry felt. I just accepted Taehyung's confession without considering how Henry felt.

Taehyung was with his friends trying to find out where Crystal had mysteriously disappeared to. Everyone was making phone calls as Taehyung collapsed onto the couch. All his friends turned and looked at him with a worried expression.

"Why do I feel like I'll never see her again?" Taehyung asked in a shaky voice. Jimin hung up his call and went to his bestfriend's side. He sat beside Taehyung and pat his shoulder. Everyone else followed and Taehyung looked at them. 

"Hey, we'll find her. We just have to keep looking but we'll find her and then you can explain to her everything." Jimin said as he gave his bestfriends' shoulder a squeeze. Taehyung looked at his best friend as Jimin smiled at him. 

"He's right, Tae. We'll find Crystal. I'm sure she's somewhere close by.We just have to keep looking. We can't give up." Namjoon said and Taehyung looked at him before nodding. 

"Come on let's keep calling." Yoongi said and everyone nodded as they got up. They began making phone calls again as Taehyung rubbed his face before pulling his phone out and as he did his phone rang. Taehyung recognized the number and smiled slightly. 

"Taewon." Taehyung said as he could hear wind blowing strongly on the other line. 

"Hyung! I made a friend! She lives here, but she was from Seoul and she's my age!" Taewon said happily and Taehyung smiled upon hearing his brother's happy tone. 

"Really? I'm happy for you, Taewon. What's her name?" I asked him as I looked up at all my friends who were occupied making phone calls for my sake. I felt bad for making them help me for my selfish needs. 

"Lee Minah." Taewon said and I froze on my spot. I focused my attention back to Taewon as chills ran down my body. 

"Taewon listen carefully. Does this girl, Minah have an older sister?" I asked him as I waited for him to respond. 

"Yeah." Taewon simply replied and I could feel my heart soar. 

"What's her name?" I asked him as I stood up slowly. I could feel the adrenaline kicking in by now. 

"Lee Minjoon? Minjin? Minji? Yeah Lee Minji. Why?" Taewon said but by then my mind was blank. Minji. Crystal. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at me.

"Tae?" Jimin asked me as he approached me. I let my hand drop and everyone came to my side. "Tae what's wrong?"

"I need to go to Jeju." Taehyung said and all his friends looked at him confused. 

"Why?" Jungkook asked him and Taehyung faced his friends as all the color ran from his face. 

"Crystal is in Jeju." Taehyung informed his friends as they all cheered and high fived except Taehyung. They were all smiling happily but noticed Taehyung's serious expression. 

"Taehyung. That's a good thing so why are you so serious?" Hoseok asked Taehyung as everyone waited to hear Taehyung's answer as they were still smiling. 

"My parents are also in Jeju." Taehyung said in a shaky voice and everyone's smile faded quickly. Their faces became pale as they knew what that meant. Crystal was in danger.
