Choi Han.

Six months ago,

His school life was simple.

Early in the morning, he came to school with his nephew, Choi Jung Soo.

Because Choi Han was quite an unexpressed guy, during the classes, he didn't have much interactions with his fellow classmates, other than the close ones like his nephew, Lock and Naru.

Lock was such a shy boy, while Naru didn't really talk much, thus, it was very easy for Choi Han to be friends with them.

In the afternoon, Choi Han had to go and have lunch with his three companions.

As their friendship was getting stronger, Lock and Naru started to communicate with him well, although the two only ever talked about their siblings.

Well, seeing that they expressed that much, must mean that they became closer, right?

For Lock, who was living with his uncle, he had many siblings to take care of. And fortunately, one of them was big enough that they admitted him here at Crossman Campus.

So, whenever it's free time, Lock always ask Choi Han to accompany him to go looking for his dongsaeng.

As Choi Han who had became an uncle to Choi Jung Soo at such a young age as well as Lock's hyung, he was very understanding to Lock and promised to go along to visit Maes every so often so that the boy could get used to his new school.

There was also Naru, but usually he declined their invitation, saying that he had his brother coming over.

It's not like Choi Han didn't understand though.

Just like how Lock is to Maes, Naru's big brother is probably like that to him too.

Yes.

That was what Choi Han thought before 'that day'.

The day that Choi Han found out that having the same blood, didn't mean that their personalities are also the same.

One day,

Lock and Choi Han went to Maes's class as always.

But, unfortunately, his classmate said that Maes had something to do, so he requested for his friend to tell them that he won't be able to meet them today.

At that time, the two didn't really think much about Maes's matter and just went back to their classroom.

That day, their classes were taken more times unlike usual.

As such, they had been late to go and pick Maes up at his room.

Choi Jung Soo had his after-class class representative meeting and Naru had his driver come picking him up, so Lock and Choi Han were the only ones to go by themselves.

Of course, as always, Lock was obligated to go and pick his brother from his class and going home together.

Therefore, Choi Han decided to accompany the boy there.

Though, on the way there, they met Maes's classmate and was told that Maes was absent for the last period.

Who wouldn't be shocked after hearing that?

Having heard that, Lock desperately called his uncle but the guardian responded that they hadn't seen Maes coming home yet.

It was such an anxious moment for Lock.

Choi Han still didn't forget that looks on the usual-shy boy.

Where would Maes have gone to, if not home?
