"Disappeared? What do you mean?" "He was there and now he's not." "Did he not go into a room or anything?" "I didn't hear a door open." I shook my head then attempted to get out of bed. "Do you need help?" "Obviously." "Kevin, take your sass, and put it in your pocket." I rolled my eyes then held my hands out. He walked me out of the room and to where he last saw him. I looked around, but nothing stood out. "Call him." I waited for Changmin's call to get through then felt relieved when he did. "Hello? Hello...?" "Is he mute again..." Changmin's face had nothing but horror present on it. "What? Tell me." Changmin moved the phone away then spoke low to me. "There's something disturbing playing on the radio."

Why is Sangyeon in one of the cars? Is he leaving without us? "Well, the call was cut off, but I did hear another voice with him. It was too muffled to tell." "What did they say?" "I'm not sure...it's between silent or violent." "Neither sounds good..." I didn't know what to do as I have no idea where he went and who with. I asked Changmin to check the rooms as I couldn't myself. "It's just us." I felt like I was close to having a breakdown. "Kev..." "Don't touch me." It came out harsher than I meant, but he didn't seem the least bit shocked. "Sorry..." I started thinking about the possible meanings of the letters and phrases in Haknyeon's book. "Do you mind bringing me paper and a pen?" He left and quickly came back and handed them to me.

"What are you doing...?" "Using my brain." I wrote down the letters and numbers and looked to see if there's a hidden message. "If we separate the letters from the numbers...you get fall xx1220..." "Maybe it's a date." I looked at Changmin then back at the numbers. "Search up things for that date. Obviously years before as we haven't reached fall yet." I went about solving the three letters then felt a tap. "I found an article...it's about Eric." "Eh?" I took his phone then scrolled through it. "Now I get it...fall xx1220 is the day of his death. When he fell..." What confused me was why Haknyeon would have this written.

My phone started ringing, so I took it out to answer it. "Hello? Is this Kevin Moon?" "Yes." "I'm sorry, your friend didn't make it. It seems it was fast acting and..." We talked a bit longer before I hung up. "What was that about?" "It looks like I lost another source of information..." I hit the table then groaned in frustration. "Kevin..." I ignored him as I went back to solving these letters. "You can push me away, ignore me, physically and mentally hurt me, but I'll still cling to you." "Do you hear yourself right now?" He nodded and I honestly wondered if he had lost his mind. "Don't ever say that again. Just go drink water or something...I don't know." Y > E but J. If we assume E is Eric, then Y could be Younghoon. What stumped me is who J is, as it could be Juyeon, Jaehyun or Hyunjoon's nickname.

"I think it's Juyeon." "Why?" "Well, if this is related to Eric's death, Younghoon and Juyeon were there. There was a third, but I don't know who." "Why did you keep something like this from me?" He showed me the article which showed their names. "Oh." Younghoon > Eric but Juyeon. It didn't make any sense. "I think it's safe to assume YDN could mean 'you die next' as the threats have been getting worse." "But, I wasn't there during Eric's death..." "Maybe you did something before and don't remember." I looked at the information I had uncovered and wondered who killed Haknyeon as he was innocent from the event.

"Kevin, I think we should
hide all of this..."
