Mark was walking with one of his friends and remembered the name that the boy had told him. "Do you know who Huang Renjun is?" He asked.

"Huang Renjun." Jungwoo repeated. "Nope, I've never heard of him." Jungwoo answered.

"Man, he goes to this school and I need to ask him something." Mark groaned.

"Why don't you check in the library. It has records of students who go here and used to go here." Jungwoo said.

"Thanks, Jungwoo." Mark smiled. Jungwoo and Mark split ways once Jungwoo had to go to his next class. "Library." Mark muttered to himself. "Where is the library?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

Mark finally found the library and asked the librarian where the records are. At first the librarian was suspicious but ended him telling Mark where they were.

"Huang Renjun." Mark started looking through the files and finally found it. "Huang Renjun. Doesn't go to this school anymore." Mark sighed.

"Does he at least have an address?" Mark scanned through his paper. "Last known address....great an hour away." Mark rolled his eyes. "This kid better be grateful." Mark took a picture of the address and went out of the library.

"Mark!" Mark turned around and saw Johnny running after him. "Where are you going?" He asked.

"I need to go find someone." With that Mark walked off and on to the next bus.

An hour passed and Mark made it to his destination. Mark found a tan house that looked old and ducks in front. He knocked on the door and an elderly woman opened it.

"May I help you?" The woman asked.

"I'm looking for Huang Renjun." Mark said. The woman sighed and let Mark in.

"Renjun's in his room." The woman started walking and Mark knew he had to follow her. They stopped in front of a door that was blue and decorated with stickers and pictures. He eyed one picture and say the boy that's been following him. "Renjun, honey." The elderly woman knocked on the door. "Someone's here to see you."

"Okay." A light voice said. The woman opened the door and Mark walked in. The room was neat and had even more pictures and painting inside. Mark saw the boy sitting at a desk with paint and pencils everywhere. "Who are you?" Renjun asked.

"I'm Mark Lee." Renjun tensed a little and Mark took notice. "I have to ask you something."

"What?" Renjun asked coldly. Mark noticed the change in the atmosphere and tried to hurry this up.

"This boy has been following me and asked me to meet you. He's the same boy that's in the picture on your door." Mark explained. "Do you have any idea who he is and why nobody can see him? He thinks you might know."

"Are you playing some sick joke?" Renjun turned around and glared at Mark. "Do you think it's funny?" Renjun stood up and grabbed Mark's collar.

"N-no. He really did ask me." Mark tried to calm down. He hoped the grandma sensed the tension and walked in. Mark then looked at the desk and saw a bunch of drawings and sketches of the boy that's been following him. "That's him! He wears these blue jeans with a flannel and a jacket over!"

"Lee Donghyuck would never talk to you! He should hate you! He'd talk to me before you!" Renjun yelled as he pushed Mark away. "Now get out before I kill you!" Mark ran out the room and closed the door. Before he left the house he saw a single picture of the boy and took it.

"Lee Donghyuck?" Mark questioned as he walked back to the bus station. "Where have I heard that before?"

Mark was sitting on a bench in the park and closed his eyes as he thought about the scene at Renjun's house.

"Did you talk to him?" Mark jumped as the boy, or Donghyuck, was sitting next to him.

"Yeah. I guess he doesn't like me." Mark sighed. "I really tried to help." Mark frowned.

"It's okay. I just want to go back home." Donghyuck smiled sadly. "Did you at least get my name?"

"Donghyuck. Lee Donghyuck." Mark told him. Donghyuck repeated it and smiled.

"That seems like my name." Donghyuck said excitedly. "Thanks..."

"Mark. Mark Lee." Mark answered.

"Thanks, Mark." Donghyuck said. That caused Mark to blush and shy away. "Did Donghyuckie make you blush?" Donghyuck said in a baby voice as he pinched Mark's cheeks.

"Get off me!" Mark slapped his hands away.

"Nope!" Donghyuck chased Mark as Mark ran away from him.

"Lee Minhyung!" Mark froze as he saw his mother walking towards him. "What're you doing? I've been waiting for you for hours. Go inside." Mark nodded and followed his mother's commands.

"I'll see you tomorrow!" Donghyuck waved as he ran off. "Hopefully." He muttered.
