“You two still can't see him?” Taeyong asked, all of them, 23, having a weekly get together with their friends and now son and daughter, they still asked the two if they have a news or find something about Xiaojun but every week they will just go here without answer, it's been  3 years since he disappeared and they still can't find him, “I don't want to say this but I think it's already enough years” Shotaro said looking at them while arranging the cupcakes for the kids, the others look at him, and he sighed sadly, “Xiaojun is also my best friend, he's the first one to be with me when I first enter the group, he didn't let me left out cause unfortunately my brother can't even do that cause he's all over Sicheng, we become so close and he told me a lot of things” in that everyone attention goes to him, Yangyang and Hendery closely went to him to hear what he's saying “One week before he left he called me crying said he made the biggest mistake in his life, at first I can't understand him but when I saw him the next day in his apartment I already understand it, he convinced me not to tell anyone especially the both of you, so I agreed to my best friend” they still can't understand what Shotaro is saying, it feels like he's been telling a story and everyone is just waiting for the ending of it so they can understand what happened “And then after that he requests a drop out paper, the admin don't really know why but they still give him and he asked them not to tell anyone, at least not until he left, I can't stop him anymore I just let him go, the day he left he gave me a number, he told me I can call that number but when I can't contact him anymore I should stop and just act like I didn't know why he left or the reason for it” Yangyang tear up to that, one of their friends know the reason but he didn't tell it, he let them find everywhere and just look at them, he didn't helped them “I didn't know where did he go, I didn't know if he left the country or stay here but I doubt he stay here cause his reason is pretty big and even me I'll just choose to disappear if that happens to me, I can contact him-” he was stopped when Hendery grabbed his arms, Yuta and Shotaro stopping Hendery to hurt Shotaro but he can't stop now, he can finally know where's Xiaojun “Tell me! Tell me his number! Give me his number!” he's desperate, so desperate to know where's Xiaojun “I, I can't contact him anymore, I can only contact him a year after he disappeared I beg him to go back cause I can't take it seeing the two of you look like that but he told me he can't go back that time cause he can't anymore, I don't understand what he's saying in the other line cause it's in Chinese but I recorded it” Hendery looked at him impatiently, Shotaro get his phone and played something

“Wait Bella I'm talking to someone”
“Bella! Help! Someone help me!” and the recording stop, the others can't understand it but the Chinese can, “He's asking for help” Winwin said tearing up, and the other two look at Shotaro with rage in their eyes “IF YOU JUST GAVE THIS RECORDING TO US!” Shotaro just look at Yangyang with a sarcastic look, that everyone didn't know he can pull off, “You literally think I will give it to the reason why he's not here anymore? I want my best friend back but if you'll continue to act like this then if I can go back to that time, I'll choose to send him away too” that gave the others a questioning look, he get his bag and left the restaurant, the others didn't stop him simply because Sungchan stopped them, he run to his boyfriend to follow him

“Renjun don't tell us you also know something?” Yangyang said looking at the innocent boy who's just eating his cake in the corner, his eyebrows furrowed, and here comes the thunder “Shut up I'm obviously busy looking after this two acting kids in our house than to get news about Xiaojun, yes he's my friend but he didn't even tell me he'll drop out, now don't you ever question me again, if we change position right now do you want to sit here uncomfortably with big tummy and two adults acting kids? I am already stress over my pregnancy cause I can't sleep comfortably! Then Jaemin and Jeno can't even look after themselves, I -” he was stop when Jaemin put a grapes in his mouth, he just glared at his lover but continue to chew his grapes, Jeno just smile awkwardly at the others, Renjun became more hot headed and easily stress now that he's pregnant, they always wake up with Renjun's voice booming at their house at how they can't even go back early from work and cuddle him or cook his favorite foods, making Jaemin left Jeno to work, but the nagging didn't stop, he constantly miss Jeno and cry loudly making Jaemin now stress so in the end, his two lovers started to work from home,  Haechan and Chenle, their acting CEO is doing a great job in managing the company while the two boss is away, making now Mark and Jisung all grumpy so Jisung decided to leave Yuta's cafe and work as Chenle's secretary and bodyguard, Mark leave his business in Yuta's care so he can be Haechan's secretary too, in the other hand, Yuta and Sicheng also suffered because they can't say no to Jisung and Mark

“If he's speaking in  Cantonese then maybe he's in Hongkong or Macau?” Kun said looking at the two who's also thinking where is Xiaojun now

“Yeah but Hendery you already looked all over Macau right?” Winwin asked, Hendery just nod at his question, there's something now, he can feel it, there's something wrong, if he already searched all over Macau and he still can't find him and the only country Xiaojun told them he wants to go back is Macau then someone is hiding him? Or he's just good at hiding? “But I already looked all over Hongkong since I came from that country too, I already helped Hendery in searching in Hongkong we both did personally look all over Hongkong but we can't find him” Lucas added making Jungwoo agreed, Lucas decided to help them finding Xiaojun before he married Jungwoo but nothing happened, Hendery and Yangyang told them that they can just get marry again when they find Xiaojun, but until now they can't find the said man

“I'll go back to Hongkong and Macau, maybe he's still there maybe I just forgot one place” Hendery said looking over at Yangyang, and the other one nodded at him, “I'll go to Germany cause I have something to work there and maybe find him again there? He told me once he wants to visit my country, maybe, maybe he's there” the others just smile at them

“We will find him here around Seoul so if we find him we can just tell you” Taeyong said, he's also worried over Xiaojun after he heard the recording but he can't blame Shotaro cause he just want to protect his best friend and to kept the promise, “I'll also asked my workers in Japan to find Xiaojun there I know I can trust them so maybe we can do that, it will be easier” Yuta added, “Then me and Hansol needs to go back to China for his final test maybe while we're there we can find him around Shanghai and Beijing” Kun now said, Hendery and Yangyang both smile, their friends still helping them until now “You're forgetting one country” Renjun said, now eating his not so normak cake with ketchup and mayonnaise, “Singapore” and in that Lucas raised his hands, “Jungwoo and I decided to have another honeymoon there so maybe I can asked my bodyguards to find him there while me and Jungwoo can enjoy Singapore life” and they thought Lucas will help them personally, but he's Lucas, “That will do at least my stupid brother made an effort” Renjun said chuckling and continue eating his cake, making Jeno and Jaemin secretly gag, they don't know what will happen to their baby if Renjun kept on eating weird things but if that's what their baby want then they will let it, as long as it won't look like cake with ketchup and mayonnaise
