Suspicions

Giwook continued to talk as Harin subtly checked the inside of her home. He compared it with the image in his head and found some oddly familiar things inside. "Excuse me miss, but would you happen to be a hunter?" "Why, yes! It's a hobby of mine. How did you guess?" "Ah, your hands." She looked them over then nodded. "You must be one too, to notice something like that." "I sure am." Giwook excused himself as he noticed something fall from the window on the side. He snuck over and saw something lying on the ground. "Isn't this...?" Dongmyeong's bracelet. It wasn't one you could just find anywhere either. He calmly walked back over to Harin and pretended as if nothing happened.

"Where did you disappear to?" He held up Dongmyeong's bracelet then smirked. "We found our perp." "We did?" "Think about it. They're all simple homes. I'm sure our voices could be heard by them from wherever they're being kept. And the fact that this fell as we were talking to her proves it." The only problem was, how could they get inside and find evidence against her. "Let's come back tomorrow and see if we could get in. You did peak her interest with hunting." "I know nothing about it." "Then get to researching." I took a step forward then stopped dead in my tracks. Something wasn't right.

"He didn't see the napkin..." "Well, we tried. All we can do is hope." "We've been hoping for a year now and we're still here!" "But, Giwook has gotten closer than any of the police, right?" Dongmyeong couldn't deny that fact. His boyfriend had done more than the police ever did. "Believe in him." "I will..." Dongmyeong heard sounds coming from below and wondered if she had seen what they did. He noticed the sound was farther away and took a look outside. He saw Giwook looking around then finally spotting the napkin that didn't land together with the bracelet. "You're our only hope now..."

"Come on, someone will catch us." Giwook couldn't help but stare up at the barred window. Was Dongmyeong watching him from up above? Harin dragged him away as he didn't want to risk everything they had worked hard for. "Alright, you can let go." He let Giwook go then sighed. "You needed to go back to pick up a napkin you dropped? Sometimes-" Giwook shushed him as he walked and read what was on it.

"Urgent! Moving homes tomorrow. Possibility: Dongdaegu or Ulsan."

He flipped it over, rotated it 360 degrees, turned it inside out. That was all that was on it. "Looks like we're traveling again." "What did it say?" "They're moving tomorrow. They aren't sure where." "Alright. Give me a second." Giwook watched as Harin made a phone call and walked away. He didn't want to lose Dongmyeong again. The thought of such a thing hurt him. "So, my cousin is willing to drive us if it's Dongdaegu, but we're on our own if it's Ulsan. But, he'll bring our things to us if it's Ulsan." "I don't want to just stand here while they're still cooped up. What can we do?" Giwook just couldn't stay still. "I guess we could try to communicate with them..." He took off at top speed, leaving Harin behind.

Dongmyeong was awoken by rustling then looked at his sleeping hyung. He sighed then tried to go back to sleep. It wasn't working, so he decided to sit by the window and look at the empty streets. He noticed something was in the tree then nearly let out a gasp. "Is that a person...?" He looked down and saw someone standing underneath the tree. He didn't know what was going on, but he worried for their safety. The person in the tree scooted forward as far as they could and Dongmyeong was worried that they'd fall. "I wish I could see who it is..." The edge was a bit far from the window, but he decided to chance it. He easily took off the bars after opening the window. He scaled down using the rope they had acquired months ago and landed on the grass.

"So, you're Dongmyeong...?" Dongmyeong backed away from Harin as he didn't know who he was. "Um-" He noticed the person in the tree had come down and was now hugging him tight. "Gi..." "Donnie..." They hugged each other tightly, afraid that the other would disappear in an instant. "I'm going to get you both out of here, I promise." "She told us so suddenly...Oh! From context clues, we confirmed it to be Dongdaegu..." "We'll follow you..." Giwook looked up and wondered how Yonghoon was doing. "He's...not doing as well as I am..."
