The year was 2023.
Six friends sat in a house, watching tv.
The youngest of these friends, a boy named Nishimura Riki, looked up from his phone.
"Check this out.", he said.
The others looked at his phone.
"The circus is in town this week."
"Are we going?", another boy asked.
"I don't know. This is the first time in like...over a decade they've come to this city. I heard they have a new leader."
This intrigued the other boys in the room.
The oldest of the friends, Lee Heeseung, decided to look it up himself.
"It would be exciting.", Riki said, "We don't go out much. Plus, they might have a giraffe."
"We don't need a giraffe when we have you.", said Park Sunghoon.
"I fight penguins."
Heeseung was looking through the promotional photos for the circus.
It looked exciting.
"He would have loved this...", Heeseung said.
They all turned to him.
"You mean...Seonwoo?", said a boy named Jake.
Heeseung sighed.
"It's been a year. A year since he just...disappeared."
A boy they called Jay stood up from the couch.
"Then let's go to this circus. For him."
Sunghoon and Riki stood up.
"Let's do it!", they said.
"When is the first show Riki?", a small boy named Jungwon asked.
"Tomorrow night. Tickets are almost sold out. So I'm going to go buy us some before they do."
Riki took his phone and went to a separate room.
Heeseung sat back in his seat, and Sunghoon went to sit by him.
"One day we'll find him Heeseung."
"I want to believe that. But it's been a year. The police stopped looking over ten months ago. Seonwoo could be anywhere..."
"No one ever explained it to me.", Jungwon said, joining them on that couch.
"Explained what?", Sunghoon asked.
"The day Seonwoo disappeared."
Everyone in the room tensed up.
They all turned to the one they call Jay.
"I was the last person to see him..."
Flashback - January 8th, 2022
"Jay come onnnn, I want cotton candy.", Sunoo said.
"Okay okay. Where is the booth?"
"Over by the carousel. Come on."
Jay and his younger friend, the third youngest in the group, a boy named Kim Seonwoo, were walking around the carnival.
