Wooyoung sat down in the lounge room, homework book in hand as Hongjoong walked in and turned the tv on.
"Hyung, I'm working here"! Wooyoung whined.
"I wanna see the news"! Hongjoong shalf-shouted. Wooyoung snapped his mouth shut and pouted as he turned to the tv. But it wasn't any good news that they saw.
"Just a day, police had a report of 3 young kids who have suddenly gone missing. The names of the children are still unknown. If you any information, please contact the Seoul Police Department. We are trying everything we can to find these boys". Wooyoung stared, eyes wide at the screen.
"3 kids are missing"? Hongjoong nodded.
"Sadly. Police are doing what they can though... I heard about it at work from Seonghwa".
"Oh"...
"Just keep your eyes open when you walk around. I don't think this was an accident". Wooyoung nodded as he looked back down at his homework, now not wanting to finish after hearing the news.

Later that day, Wooyoung had found a bench just near a park and sat down as he placed a headphone on and hit play on his music.
"Hello". Wooyoung jumped slightly as he turned to see a young boy next to him. His hair was blue with small purple strips through it. And he had a soft expression on his face.
"H-hi", Wooyoung spoke as he hit pause on his music.
"Sorry if I scared you".
"N-no it's ok. I was just kinda zoned out". Wooyoung gave the boy a smile and the boy smiled back, small dimples in his cheeks as he did.
"I'm Wooyoung".
"San. What are you doing here alone"? San asked.
"I just like spending some time away from my house. My hyung is annoying as hell at times". San giggled and Wooyoung smiled at the giggle. He found it cute.
"Do you live near here? I haven't seen you around before I don't think". San nodded.
"Yeah I-I'll close by so I tend to come here a lot. We may just come at different times".
"Maybe". Wooyoung looked up at the sky then looked at his phone.
"Oh shit, I need to go. I-it was nice meeting you San". San nodded and smilled as Wooyoung stood up and began walking away.
"Hey, wait, do you"-Wooyoung cut himself off as he turned. San was gone. Wooyoung looked around, hoping to see him but he was alone.
"He left fast" ... he muttered before turning back around and making his way home.

The next day, Wooyoung headed to the park. He wanted to see San again. He felt... safe around the boy. When he arrived, Wooyoung was happy when he saw San, sitting in the same spot they had met yesterday.
"San"! He called out, running over. San looked up and smiled.
"Hi Wooyoung"! Wooyoung sat down next to San and smiled.
"I was hoping to see you again".
You were"? San asked. His tone was... off but Wooyoung took no notice in the tone he spoke in.
"Yeah. It was nice talking to you yesterday so I wanted to talk to you again". San smiled.
"It was nice talking to you too".
"So... can I ask where you live"? Wooyoung asked.
"I'm actually from Namhae. I-I'm here on holidays with some friends, Yunho and Jongho", San spoke.
"Oh lucky. I still have school".
"Oh that's sucks". Wooyoung smiled softly.
"So you won't be staying here for long"?
"Just a moth or two. Then we're heading back". Wooyoung nodded as he looked down.
"Is everything ok Woo"? San asked. Wooyoung felt his heart pound against his chest at the nickname. No one but Hongjoong had called him that before and it sounded different when San said his nickname.
"Y-yeah I'm ok. I just wished you could stay longer. It's nice having company"? San smiled.
"I know. But I'm here for a month or two so we can make it count". Wooyoung nodded as the two began talking again.
-
A month had passed and Wooyoung began to feel more comfortable with San. He shared a lot of his personal things that only Hongjoong knew and San had done the same.
"So... I managed to prank one of my teachers", Wooyoung spoke as they sat in his room.
"Wait really"?
"Yep. It was Halloween so I dressed up and acted like a statue in the corner of the room. She came up to me thinking I was fake but I moved forward and she screamed so loud, the whole building heard her". San cracked up laughing as he fell back onto the bed.
"I wish I could've seen it".
"It was hilarious"! As they spoke, Wooyoung's tv began showing the news and Wooyoung and San turned to the tv.
"2 out of the three kids have been found"? Wooyoung whispered. San looked down and played with his fingers.
"Hey, those three kids that went missing a month ago? Only two were found", Wooyoung spoke as he moved closer to the tv.
"I wonder where the 3rd kid is". San looked up at him, a soft smile on his face before he walked over and whispered.
"I' under the Han River bridge". Wooyoung's eyes widened before the door opened.
"Who are you talking to Woo"? Hongjoong asked. Wooyoung turned to him, his eyes filled with tears.
"I-I know where the third kid is"... He whispered.
"You do"? Wooyoung nodded.
"S-San... that's his name. He's under the Han River Bridge"...
"How do you know"?
"H-he was here. S-spirit... We need to go"! Wooyoung jumped from his seat and ran out the door, Hongjoong right behind him.
