Missing Piece

The exams is over now, i welcoming summer break. I still have no plans to spending my summer break time, my dance squad "Neuron" asked me to join performance with them. I accepted their invitation, since i don't have a plan to do anything beside my part time job and help my parents.

Last year, i go with Hyeri and Donggu hyung to the beach. We go for two days one night trip, and spending time at my grandparents house in Gwangju. Maybe i can go to the beach with them again this year, i will asked Mari to join with us.

Today i accepted my first salary as a dance teacher, the salary is plenty. I must buy a meat for Hyeri tomorrow, i promised her that.

It's been a horrible weekdays of mine, because i can't stand to be in same room with Namjoon. Thank God i have to endure it just for one week.

I called Hyeri for several times but she didn't answer my phonecalls, i decided to send a message to her.

' Hyeri~yaa, let's have a dinner with me tomorrow. Emptied your stomach before that okay ㅋㅋㅋ'

I stop by at the coffee shop, just want to buy an ice americano before going back home. After i received the change, i sit on the chair nearest the entrance door.

I see my phone but there's no message from Hyeri, 'maybe she's busy' i thought. So i just waiting for the coffee in silent.

*****

It's been two days after i texted Hyeri to have a dinner with me, i still can't reached her or get a slight of news from her. She's haven't been like this before, she always picked up my calls and replied my messages soon. If not, she would call me back and explained the reason.

Where is she? I have to searched her on my own, she got me worry.

I grab my jacket and my bag, my first destination is the store. I went there by a bus, maybe Donggu hyung will gave me the answer.

I walk into the store and greet Donggu hyung, "Hi hyung, how are you?" He hugged me and release me soon. "As you can see" he stretched his in both side, and smile widely.

"What can i do for you?" He asked me right away, "is Hyeri here hyung?" He take me to sit on the chair and make a heavy exhale.

"She's not attend to the store for one week, i can't reach her. I have called her many times and texted her countless times everyday, but she didn't replied it once" he sighed again and drew a confuse yet sad on his face.

"You worked alone?" He shook his head, "no.. someone's came from the first day they were missing. Thank God, they're so helpful" it gave me a puzzled eyes.

I look around to find someone asked him, and convinced myself. "They were missing? Is it Jinyoung?" He noded, "they are missing together?" He shruged.

"I don't know but he didn't attend too about a week ago, the same day with Hyeri" it gave me questioned a lot, my brain played a scene in my head.

"Have you asked anyone about Hyeri or Jinyoung?" He tried to remember but shake his head as an answer.

"Are you have Jinyoung's number?" He took his phone from his pocket, and searched his number.

"I have tried to called and texted him, but he didn't answer it too" he sent me his number, i call him right away but he didn't answering too.

I feel hopeless but i remember her mother were work at the supermarket nearby her home, i greet Donggu hyung after that.

I rushed to the bus stop and go to the supermarket which is not far from my family restaurant. After i stepped out from the bus, i walk to the supermarket accross the road.

I asked for Hyeri's mother to the employee, he said that Hyeri's mother is at meat section.

I go to the meat section, and found her right away. "Good afternoon aunty..i'm Hyeri's friend, Hoseok" i bowed deep to her.

"Aahh.. Hoseok~aa, Hyeri always told me about you. Are you want to buy a meat?" She asked me, i waved my hand and said "No" to her. She raised her eyebrows.

"Can we talk for a moment aunty?" She noded, "okay, just wait a minute i have to wash my hand first and get permitted from the supervisor" i bowed again.

Not so long she approached me and asked me to follow her.

We sit at the employee room, the room is big enough and comfortable. "Do you want tea or coffee?" I said tea as an answer, she handed me the mug.

"Sorry we have no chance to met before, because i must work hard for my family. Hyeri always talk about you everyday, she's right you have a good looking and a bright smile" i'm blushed, she smiled at me and make a wrinkles appeared at the corner of her eyes. It's not lessen her beauty, Hyeri got that beauty from her mother i guess.

"Do you know where Hyeri is aunty? She didn't answered my phone calls or replied my messages" she look so surprised and nervous.

"Mmm.. she go to her father in Jeju island, she didn't told you?" I shook my head, "it's weird huh" she continue her words.

"And when she will comeback?" I asked her again, "i'm affraid she will live there with her father" her eyes wavering, it make me suspicious. I'm thinking about her reaction while took a sip of tea.

"Aahh.. okay, maybe she will replied me later then" she look relieved by my statement and smile at me again.

"So, i have to go now. Sorry for disturbed you aunty and thank you for the tea" my lips curved up, "ah send my greetings to your mom, say thanks for the kimchi that she gave us back then" i bowed deep to her again and walk away from the room.

It's weird, why Hyeri didn't told that she moved to Jeju island? She didn't even say goodbye to me, and why that Jinyoung boy have to disappear too in the same time with her? That thought make me going crazy, i ruffled my hair desperately.

I walked a long the road while thought about her, until my phone rang. I took it from my pocket jeans, hope it's Hyeri. But i was wrong, it's Jin.

Hoseok : "What's up Hyung?"

Jin : "Where are you Hoseok~aa?"

Hoseok : "I'm at the restaurant, what's wrong?"

"Yaaa..you little bastard" i heard someone's scream from the back, i startled make my cell phone drop to the ground.

"Oh my goodness" he parked his car and approached me, i took a step backward.

"So from when your family sell an ice cream? Why you didn't told us?" he pointed at the ice cream shop behind my back and laughed out loud.

I took my phone on the ground, while mouthing "shit" in a lower voice. "Why you ignored my phone calls before?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

I looked at my phone and found that he called me three times, he smacked my hand. "Come on, you have to accompany me today" i sighed, "why?" I growled a protest.

"Because i told you so" i feel so angry inside, but i have no choice i can't disobeyed him. I followed him to his car, jumped on the front seat and buckled up my seatbelt.

"How can you find me hyung?" He were his sunglasses, "i'm on my way to department store while called you, and found you ruffled your hair like a crazy boy" i glared at him, wish i can slapped that damn mouth of his.

"What are you doing here?" I looked at him, "i searched for Hyeri, but her mother told me that she was with her father at Jeju island. She plans to moved to there, but i still suspicious because her mother looks like she lied to me" i paused for a while and took a glimpse at Jin.

"She's not gonna moved without says anything to me" i feel unamused.

"Maybe because you have Mari" my eyes widened, "what? Why?" I asked him impatient.

"You know, i can see that she likes you from the first time i saw her" i can't believed what he said.

"No.. you can be wrong hyung, it's impossible. You know that we know each other for more than one year, she said that she like me as a brother" i still in denial, i hope he's agree but in the other hand i want him to disagree.

"Nope.. i can't be wrong, i see that kind of "fall in love" face for many times" he said that with a cocky face, he bragged to me that he was have a relationship with many girl.

My heart fluttered, why am i so happy to hear that. It's like i really want to heard that thing. To be honest, something happen in my heart because her picture always came to me even when i'm with Mari. I want to believe what Jin said to me, but i'm affraid to think about what will happened to my relationship with Mari.

I remember her mother said that she always talks about me everyday, i can't help myself to not smiled on my own.

"Are you that happy?" Jin said while turn the wheel to the parking lot, my cheeks warmer. But something bothered me again.

"If that's true, then why she left me without saying anything?" I asked him again, he shut the car door and walk with me side by side.

"You have to searched the reason on your own Hoseok~aa" he link his arm on my shoulder and smacked my back hard until i squinted.

*****

I layed at my bed and curled up, it's my second chemotherapy. I still haven't used to it, my throat is burned because i thrown up before.

I feel the pain all over my body, Jinyoung covered me with blanket because i start quivering right now.

"You'd be okay Hyeri~aa, i'm right here beside you" he stroked my back up and down, the soreness in my bones make me gritted my teeth hard.

'you can do it Hyeri, this pain will gone soon' i keep that in mind, until i feel tired and sleep.

It's already dark when i opened my eyes, i see Jinyoung sleeping on the couch. I tried to get up, the pain still linger on my body. I sit on the corner of my bed, i took my phone and see his name on the screen.

Hoseok oppa called me again, i sighed heavily while try to hold my tears. My lips trembling now, i bite it to not let the cries escape from my mouth. I can't hold the pain in my heart, it's unbearable.

"I'm so sorry Oppa"
