“I’ll go with you.”

“It’s okay hyung.”

“I have to do something.”

“You have done enough in taking care of Yoogeun.”

“Yah. Just listen to me can you?”

Minho sighs.

“When will you learn to listen?”

“Mianhe hyung. It’s just. I just want to find her the soonest.”

“That’s why you need help.”

“Hyung. What do you think about me?”

“What do you mean?”

“Am I unlucky?”

“Yah. Why do you suddenly say things like this?”

“All the person around me have to go through hardness because of me.”

“Minho ya.”

“My parents, my wife. I can’t make them happy. They are just suffering around me.”

“Minho ya. That’s not it.”

“Sulli.”

Minho paused.

“I hurt her so much. I did not trust her.”

“What are you saying?”

“I am the cause of all this to happen. I let him do this.”

“Tell me clearly. What is in the world is happening?”

“We are just getting back together again after 7 months.”

Jonghyun furrowed his eyebrows.

 “I got mad when I saw Sulli in Taemin’s arms after she gave birth. I did not thought about her condition at that time. I did not even care that she is in the situation which she needs help and care. I lose control. I hit him and that’s when everything starts to happen.”

Minho palms his face and let out a heavy breath.

“I’m not acting like a husband after that hyung. I behave like a boss. I don’t give her my trust.”

Jonghyun looks shocked.

“Minho ya. What have you done?”

“Taemin. He knows about it and he makes it worse. I hurt her more by believing everything that Taemin said and gave to me. I’m such a fool hyung.”

“But how? You both look okay to us. I never suspected anything.”

“I warned her not to show people that we are not in good term.”

Tears welling up in his eyes as he shows an expression that full of regret.

“I’m the one who let him take that action. I’m the one at fault hyung. I don’t respect my wife. And I don’t care her enough.”

Minho hides his face in between his knees and he sobs.

He sobs hard to the point that his shoulders shook.

Jonghyun was at a loss of word.

He is surprised.

Sulli that is full of bright smile whenever they met; she was concealing all of her sadness inside all this time.

Jonghyun then moves closer to Minho and rubs his back; soothing him.

“We’ll find her. Be strong.”

“Even that you had a tiff with your wife, Taemin’s deed is wrong. Don’t simply put all the blame to you.”

Minho raises his head and was about to say something when his phone rang.

“We had found the address sir. Should I go and check it now?”

“No. I’ll be there in a moment.”

“I’ll drive.”

Jonghyun said as he grabs his car key.

                                                                                        ***

Sulli opens the plastic bag and took out the towel.

She needs bath right now.

She was feeling drained.

She feels like she is dehydrated.

But she wasn’t doing anything tiring to make her feels weak.

“What happen to my body?”

She frowns and walks to the bathroom.

She makes sure she had locked the door before she lazily lay down in the tub of warm water.

                                                                                                ***

“What happen? You never call me this early.”

“Are you alone Kai?”

“Yes. I was on my way for morning walk.”

“I want your help.”

Kai stops tying his shoelaces and stood up.

“Okay. What is it?”

“I’ll text you an address, bring a female doctor with you.”

“Wae? Did you do something again?”

“It’s not that. Just help me okay.”

“Arasseo. Text me the address.”

“Make sure that doctor is trustable. And you have to bring her quietly. Make sure no one know.”

“Ara. As if this is the first mission you give to me.”

“But this is the most important one.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Okay. I’ll text you. Come soon.”

“Who’s that?”

Chanyeol asks as soon as Kai ended the call.

“Hyung. You are not working?”

“Our boss wasn’t starting any new project. So, we don’t have to work today too. Who are you talking to?”

“Ahhh. It’s Taemin.”

Chanyeol nods.

“Have you checked if he is connected to Mr. Choi?”

“They were friends.”

“Were?”

Kai nods.

“But not anymore. They have something going on that makes them grew apart.”

“Really?”

He nods again.

“Do you want to go jogging?”

“No, have to cancel it. I need to do something.”

“Will you be back before lunch? I’m going to order food today.”

“I think I won’t be home early hyung. Just order for you.”

“Arasseo. Be careful.”

“Deh.”

                                                                                        ***

Minho kicked the door angrily.

“He’s not here either.”

His jaw clenched as he calls someone from his phone.

“What happen? Did you find him?”

“No sir. I’ve send someone to Gangnam and Ilsan. I’ll call you if we caught him.”

“Okay. Make sure you find him.”

“We’ll do that sir.”

Minho ended the call and put his phone in his pocket.

“You should not behave hastily Minho. Calm down a bit.”

“It’s been four days hyung. How can I calm down? What if my father in law comes to know about it? I can’t even do anything to protect my wife. I’m useless.”

“Stop blaming yourself. It’s not your fault.”

“It’s mine. It’s my fault.”

“Minho. You have to be positive at the time like this. You should think rationally. I don’t think he went back to the places he went before. He knows you must hunt him down.”

Minho wrinkles his forehead.

“What do you mean?”

“Think.  Will kidnappers bring his victim to a well known place?”

Minho shakes his head.

“Molla. I just can’t think right now.”

“Let’s go to that village for now. Maybe we’ll find him.”

Jonghyun taps Minho’s shoulder and walks to his car.

Minho looks at the place in defeated before he too follows Jonghyun to the car.

                                                                                        ***

“Sulli, open your eyes. Why aren’t you responding? Sulli don’t do this. Why are you behaving like this?”

Taemin was trying to wake Sulli up this morning to have breakfast but she did not wake up.

He tries all sort of thing; sprinkling some water on her face, shaking her body but her eyes was tightly shut.

He leans his ear to her chest and sighs in relief when he heard her heart still beating.

Taemin paces around the room, glancing nervously at the pale looking Sulli after he call Kai for help.

He rakes through his hair while biting his lips.

He went again to Sulli and tries to wakes her up.

He shakes her shoulder, rubbing her hands to makes her gain her sense but it’s not working.

Sulli just lie down on the bed unmoved.

“Kai ah. Come soon.”

Sorry for the longgggg wait...
