“ What do you mean that she's missing ?! ”
“ I-I'm sorry , Sicheng . But I can't find her anywhere in the house ——— ”
“ I don't want to hear excuses . You better make sure everyone in that house look for her before the eldest brother finds out . Do you hear me ?! ”
“ Ye-yes , Sicheng . ”
Sicheng hits the steering wheel , cursing the shit out of their situation.
“ We're going to be dead , Woong . ”

“ Ms.Jeon , I know that we're finally trying to work this case out , but can you stop giving me surprises ?! ”
“ Excuse me , Mr.Choi . But can you focus on the road ? Can't you see that Jay is about to throw up at the back ?! ”
Yeonjun peeked through the rearview mirror , finding a light-headed Jay at the back .
“ You alright back there ? ”
“ He's dying , Yeonjun . ”
“ Yeah , and you should be going to school . ”
Hyunjoo pouted her lips , crossing her arms at the same time . She shouldn't be running away , that's a fact she can't deny .
But who on earth wants to go to school and see the man you love every single day ?
Who wants to stay in school anyway ? Yuna might want to , but not Hyunjoo .
“ Just so you know , Jay and I rented this place for you . So , no boys allowed . Well , except for the two of us . Not even Jay is allowed to be alone with you in that hous—— ”
“ I beg to differ ! ”
“ Jay , your puke is going to come out of that goddamn mouth if you don't shut them up . Anyways , no boys allowed . Do you get that , Jeon Hyunjoo ? I already called Yuna for you , so you don't need to worry about her . ”
Hyunjoo turned her head in a swift after hearing Yuna's name .
“ You called Yuna ?! How did she reacted to this ? Did she say anything else ? Tell me tell me !! ”
Yeonjun loves to see this type of Hyunjoo . The one who acts her age , the one who cares about her friend , the one who cares about even the tiniest thing in the world . Like how a real teenager should be .
No matter how strong she seems to be , how mature she seems to act , Hyunjoo is a child at heart . He could remember the day they went on their so-called 'date' for the first time . She was so happy when he was winning the dolls , the happiness of a lonely child .
He needs to find her family .
“ She just said that she's supporting you . No matter where you are , who you are with , she'll be supporting you . ”
Hyunjoo smiled with tears brimming in her eyes . Yuna has been there for her since day 1 . When she was out there being alone , Yuna would always find her way to be there .
“ She's the best ”
“ Who ? ” asked Jay while gagging .
“ Jay , just shut up . ”
The drive took them about an hour and a half , leading them to a small apartment out of town . Jay rolled down the car once they arrived , finally throwing up on the grass nearby .Yeonjun helped with Hyunjoo's belongings , bringing them up while leaving Jay behind to finish his business .
“ Get up there when you're done , Park Jongseong . ” shouted Yeonjun before closing the elevator .
Jay showed them an 'ok' sign , throwing a smile towards Hyunjoo , in which she caught them and giggled .
“ Fucking lovebirds . ” cussed Yeonjun .
“ We're not . ”
“ Yeah , yeah . I'm missing my hueningie more now . I should meet him after dropping you off . ”
“ Eww , fucking lovebirds . ” Hyunjoo copied him with the same attitude .
The elevator stopped on the 5th floor as the smell of newly painted walls greet them .
“ Yours should be right in the corner . ” Yeonjun was talking to himself .
“ Found it ! ”
‘ Home Sweet HJ ’ was written on the door , as HJ means Hyunjoo .
“ Oh , it is ! But I don't have the key——”
“ Here . ”
Jay shows up out of nowhere , handing Hyunjoo the key to her temporary new home . Being so excited , Hyunjoo didn't even wait for the boys to open the door for her after putting the key in .
Hyunjoo gasped .
It was pretty .
The interior might not be much , with little touches of simple design everywhere . It was enough for her .
“ We could only give you this . My father would be suspicious if I spend too much , so we split the bills . I mean , between Jay and I . ”
Hyunjoo can't be more thankful than giving them both a tight hug .
“ Thank you . Thank you so much. ”
The other two smiled , returning her hug .
“ But you have to pay us once you're fully grown working adult , you know that right ? ”
“ Of course . ”
She can go on her own way now , all thanks to Jay and Yeonjun .

“ What do you mean by she can't be found ?! ”
“ I'm sorry , Woong . ”
“ You don't have to be sorry to me , Winwin . But I'm afraid that my brother won't let this pass . ”
