Jihoon's brain was running way too fast. He wasn't able to think straight. How could he lose Doyoung from before his fucking eyes? Just one moment, he was there, and then...

"Junkyu, where's he!?" Jihoon panicked. His voice was trembling like crazy and he grabbed Junkyu's hands so strongly that his nails probably scratched Junkyu's arms. But neither Junkyu nor him noticed that.

"Jihoon, listen to me." Junkyu said in relatively calm tone, even though he was freaking out inside. "Doyoung must not have gone too far, okay? Let's take a look around the park first!"

Jihoon was about to cry in fright, but he nodded hard.

"You take that side; I'll go this way. Let's meet here again, okay?" Junkyu proposed. Jihoon turned around in a flash, but looked back again.

"We're gonna find him, right?" he asked in a fragile voice. His eyes were filled with tears in the blink of an eye. Junkyu felt like his heart was about to shatter from the sudden feeling of fear. What if they couldn't? What if both of them failed to protect the innocent little kid, lost solely due to their carelessness?

"We'll find him for sure!" he said, opposite of what he was dreading. However, Jihoon believed him and went away to find his godson. Junkyu soon went to look in the other direction.

None of them could spot the kid anywhere near them. They spent about half an hour looking frantically around the park, asking everyone they came across with, but in vain. It seemed like Doyoung had just turned into thin air that diffused around them. Junkyu got more tense by the minute. He just hoped that maybe, just maybe, Jihoon had found him.

But watching an empty handed, devastated, crying Jihoon coming at his way, he realized- Jihoon had just as bad luck as him.

Jihoon's cry became louder once he saw Junkyu nervously thinking about what to do next. He reached the younger and grabbed his shirt, asking, "Junkyu, please tell me you know where my Doyoungie is! Please bring me back my baby, I beg you! Please!"

Junkyu's heart was breaking. He wanted with all his being to spot a smiling, jumping little kid coming out of the bushes and scaring them, saying that it was just a prank he pulled. But even he knew, no kid was able to be like that, even the quirky Doyoung.

"Jihoon, let's inform the police!" Junkyu said. Jihoon looked up, "Police? Why? Did someone take him?"

"I don't know but since he's not here; that can be the case."
"Would they hurt him? Junkyu?" Jihoon was acting like a little kid himself and Junkyu wanted to assure him so bad! But he himself was just as ignorant and torn inside.

"Jihoon, we'll find him! Trust me. Let's inform the police first, okay?"

Jihoon nodded. Junkyu took out his phone and then started describing the whole thing to police. Jihoon helped him with some details about Doyoung's attire and appearance. When the formal entry was taken by the police, Junkyu hung up.

"They will start searching for him soon." He said to Jihoon, "And for us, let's go search up the area around us first."

Jihoon once again agreed to Junkyu. Seemed like his brain had gone totally blank, as he was listening to everything Junkyu said. Junkyu never thought he'd see Jihoon in such a state. He wanted to split themselves while searching, but he was worried that being alone, Jihoon would freak out even more. So, he took Jihoon with him. They took a long walk, searching every nook and corner possible and I must say Junkyu was losing hope every second. Doyoung must not have stalled around because they would have found him by then if he did. That only meant someone took him. And if that happened, there was no way they could find the kid searching like that.
