The mobile screen lit up caused by the only news he least wished to receive.

Namjoon Hyung

We found her.

A suspicious woman in her late 20s was seen entering an abandoned house. Fortunately there were security cameras in the front house and we got the footage of her. I'm going to the location with my partner.

Your presence will help to conciliate her and bring her back with us. Please come to the shared location.

: Location shared.

I will wait for you.

Flipping over the phone on the dining table, he stood up from the chair leaving behind his untouched plate of meal and barged straight into his room slamming the door shut behind him.

**********

Shutting his eyes in defeat he sighed for the nth time before shoving his phone back into his pocket, vanquishing his hope to ever get a response from the youngest.

"Let's go." He ordered his junior before getting down from the car. Another man in a long white coat came out from the back seat. As the three of them approached a run-down house he gestured to the other two gentlemen to remain shushed and knocked on the door to let the lady know his presence outside.

"Hyejin, it's me." He started with a friendly approach. "You recognised my voice, right? I'm Namjoon." Neither he expected her to respond to him nor did he get one. The door was locked from inside, which he interpreted Hyejin did when she entered the house.

It was not a big deal to break a worn out door but the doctor following the two cops suggested not to go for a violent solution. If it's true that the lady is still inside the house then the crash would startle the already scared patient and she could go berserk. They looked around for an opening and found a broken window. Carefully, they all climbed through it and entered inside.

"Are you sure she is still here?" The man whispered, adjusting his specs. It was too dark to see. Namjoon was the only one with his phone's flashlight on.

"The footage I collected, there was no sign of her leaving the house, only entering. We can say that the runaway patient is still here." The junior took the chance to explain and looked at his senior, who was busy searching around the tattered place, for praising words.

Namjoon halted his movements and looked back. "Her name is Hyejin not patient." He stated rather abruptly. "And try not to make any more sound. We don't want her to find out that I'm not alone." He glared at both of them, earning a nod in return.

A creaking sound from upstairs made them sure of her presence in the house. He waved his hand commanding them to stay behind him and follow. Soon they reached the first floor. With caution he approached the only room on that floor while the other two stayed behind him in the dark.

"Heyjin-ah," His voice as soothing as a mother's hug a child always seeks in the hard times and it makes all your worries melt away.
"Brother is worried about you. You haven't eaten anything all day. Come out, I will take you to eat your favourite meal."

"My favourite?" A soft muffled voice came from the other side of the room. Namjoon took a sigh of relief hearing her voice as he hummed in response.

"W-What is it? What is my...favourite dish?" She asked in despair but Namjoon had no answer to her question. He shut his eyes thinking he screwed up his chance just now as a loud thud from inside made him open his eyes instantly.

"What is it?!!" A roaring voice following another crash reached outside keeping them on their toes. One wrong step and you could harm yourself. The room was still closed; they had no idea what was going on inside.

"Tell me. Tell me now! I can't remember. I don't remember anything! Who are you?! Who the hell am I?!!" Her shrill voice pierced their ear drums as the series of throwing stuff and tantrums continued.

"You really don't remember?" Footsteps approached the room where she kept herself shut from others as the wooden floor creaked with every heavy step he took. The voice seemed different from others yet gave a strange feeling and her hand holding an old lamb froze in its place.
