I sat at the table as I did my homework. "I know what you did..." I could no longer focus. I was torn between telling him and keeping it to myself. I couldn't stand it any longer and decided to let him know.

He left me on read. He seemed rather upset that I didn't mention it. Was it that serious? I sent a few more messages, hoping he'd respond. An hour passed and it still said delivered. I guessed he was really pissed. I rest my head on my arm in sadness.

"Sun, are you done?" "No..." I closed my books then grabbed a jacket. I quietly closed the front door then left the building for some air. A part of me wanted to go back in as it was dark out and there were so few people out. I looked around before moving.

The wind gently blew as I walked down the side street. It was deafeningly quiet. I started to feel uneasy. I turned around and confirmed no one was behind me. I turned once more then stopped. Someone was up ahead. They weren't there before. I started backing up slowly.

They slowly walked towards then broke into a sprint. I quickly turned around and did the same. Fear and panic rose inside of me as I turned the corner. My movement was halted and I was being pulled back. "Let me go!" I did everything in my power to get away. Nothing worked.

I silently watched as I was carried back down the side street. "Who are you?" A cloth was put over my mouth and nose, making me drowsy and knocking me out.

I walked into school then noticed people were whispering to each other. A few looked at me before giggling to their friends. I hurried to my locker then saw blown up photos of Sunwoo pasted onto my locker along with papers scattered on the floor. I was too late.

"Well if it isn't the Sunwoo worshipper." I frowned as he came into view. "Very funny, Dongil." He shrugged then threw a paper ball at me. "I haven't seen your precious Sunwoo around. Is he sick?" "I don't know." I straightened up the papers into a neat pile.

I took down the photos then put them underneath the papers. "What a dull reaction." "Looks like we're both the gay guys in school. Fun." I smirked as he frowned. "Have fun with being teased, Dongil. There's no way you can prove your innocence. I made sure of it."

I closed my locker then walked away. "You'll suffer too!" "As if I haven't been since I entered this fucking school!" That had shut him up. It wouldn't be anything new. I was already an outcast in most of the school's eye. "Bro..." "Oh, Seunghyun..."

We sat down at our seats and I could feel his eyes on me. "What?" "Are you and Sunwoo...?" "We're just friends. Close friends." "I see." I kicked him. "You really think I'm gay?" "I mean, I won't judge you if you are. Love who you want."

I frowned, but was happy that he would be accepting of me if I ever went down that path. Not that I would anyway. Class soon started and I reluctantly opened my books.

The school day had gone by quickly and I found myself waiting by my locker for Sunwoo. Seconds instantly became minutes as I waited. "Where is he..." I started wandering around school, looking in places that he would be in. I didn't see him anywhere.

I called his number, but it went straight to voicemail. I sent a text, hoping he'd respond. I grew worried then headed for his aunt's office. She'd know where he was. I opened her door and was surprised to not see her there. "Neither are here..."

I found myself rushing to his apartment. I rapidly knocked on the door while pushing the doorbell. I tried the knob then noticed it was open. I quietly entered, hoping I wouldn't find anything unsettling. I checked all the rooms and confirmed no one was home.

Did they go on vacation? It was too early for that. Maybe they went to visit family. I then realized I didn't know anything about his family. I walked into the living room then noticed his books were out in the open. It looked as if he had just left or something like that.

I checked her room again then noticed a few things didn't look right. A few things were on the floor that usually wouldn't be. "What happened here..." I left their apartment then made my way out of the building. Something didn't sit right with me.

I asked a few people around the building if they've seen either of them. I only received a response from one person. "I saw Sunwoo leave last night. Never came back in." "Not at all?" "Not at all." "Where did he go?" He shrugged. "All I know is that he made a left right there."

I followed the direction that he pointed in and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I noticed a side street then walked down it. I looked around then noticed something in the street. It turned out to just be a rag, nothing of importance.

I picked it up to throw it away then noticed it had a smell to it. "Oh..." It didn't smell like I thought it would. I moved to put it back then noticed something on the ground. "Eh, isn't this..." It was a piece of the mask that the man who grabbed Sunwoo wore.

"Did they get him...?" I had no one to ask. Then it hit me "Youngseul." I sent her a text and waited impatiently. I quickly made my way back to school to go and meet her.

"Youngseul!" "Oh, hey." I took a breather then held onto her for support. "Why'd you need to see me so suddenly?" "You're friends with Sunwoo, right?" "No, acquaintances." "Do you know anything about him? At all?" "Uh..." She looked lost in thought.

"I've met people's parents, but I've never met his. It's weird." "Never ever?" "Never. I honestly think he lives alone. Though, I'm not sure how." I frowned. "So, you don't really know anything..." She shook her head. "Sorry...Oh! Do you have a pen?"

I took out a pen and she wrote down a number on my hand. "Try her." "Her?" "His ex." I frowned. Hearing the word ex kind of hurt. "Thanks." "No problem. I kind of need Sunwoo as he did most of the work. I'm already in deep shit." I rolled my eyes as I typed in her number.
