Chang Wook tightened his hold on SeokJins wrist as they walked in between the rush of people in the city of Gangnam in Seoul.

"Appa is this the right city?"

"This card says the name Gangnam. I am not sure but." Chang Wook looked at the name board infront of them and made sure it was the correct city. The board said it was a restaurant. A modest looking one with not many customers inside.

"Why don't we have something before we move forward? You must be hungry" Chang Wook looked at his elder son who looked tired and drained. After all, it was expected since they traveled miles to reach this place.

"Okay appa." Seokjin and changwook entered the small shop where a lady was serving food to a few people inside.

They took a seat at the corner and placed their bags beside. The lady was quick to approach them with a smile. Her smile dropped when she walked more closer towards them but recovered immediately before smiling at them. "What would you like to have today?"

Seokjin being the polite always smiled at the ajhumma who had a bright smile on her face. "We would like to have whatever is special here."

"okay my speciality is lamb stew and noodles. Would you like to have some?"

"Sure."

The lady went inside to take their orders after that. Seokjin was playing with his fingers looking here and there since it was his first time out of the forest in a more civilised place were people looked clean and crisp. He looked at his dyed pants and cotton shirt with a frown. Chang was looking at all this and silently watching his son.

"We can buy a few clothes from here before we go back." Seokjin smiled big hearing that.

"Appa you said you have been to the city a few times. Have you been to that thing before?" Seokjin pointed his finger at a taxi car parked opposite of the shop.

Seokjin was really enthusiastic when ChangWook took him inside the public bus. They came to Gangnam in a bus. That's the only thing they could afford at the moment.

"I have rid inside a car once. That was years ago. I don't remember much about it. But it was great." SeokJins alpaca eyes widened in wonder.

"Car? That's what they call it?"

They are forest inhabitants. They doesn't belong to the fuss of the city. Most of their food is being harvested or hunted inside the forest itself. Their world was separated from all these modern civilisation by a huge river. But recently chang wook and the other villagers have rebuilt a bridge over the river with months of labour. That's how he and SeokJin reached here.

"My special lamb stew and noodles here. Enjoy sweethearts." The lady was much hyper for her old age. She looked vibrant and welcoming.

"Thank you ajhumma."

"You are so polite dear. Are you both new here?"

Seokjin dived into his meal leaving changWook to reply to the lady.

"Yes w-we are from far. I am Ji Chang Wook and this is my eldest Ji SeokJin."

"Do you need help with anything? You know, I have been working here since 8 years. Looking at you I could immediately tell that you are new here and need help with something."
ChangWook was hesitant for a bit. But something in the eyes of the lady told him he can trust her.

"Yes. I may need your help." The lady nodded as she smiled at SeokJin who was enjoying his meal without any care. Poor thing must have been so hungry.

"Then have your meal first. Then we can talk. Is that okay with you?"

"of course."

Chang Wook waited for his son to wash his hands before joining the ajhumma on the table.

"Have some herb tea dear. It's good for the stomach. And that is my son Hoseok. And this is his wife Sunoo." SeokJin looked at the said male and awed. The boy named Sunoo was beautiful with that cute smile on his face. SeokJin reciprocated that smile immediately.

The lady placed a tea cup infront of ChangWook and SeokJin. Sunoo smiled at both of them. Hoseok, the ladies son was serving the people now.

"Okay. Why are you here in Gangnam?"

ChangWook felt refreshed drinking the tea. It was a perfect blend of herbs and tea leaves. "We are here to find a person. More like an acquaintance. We dont know where to go inorder to find him since we are not familiar with the city. We are from a remote place you know."

"I can see that. Who are you searching for?"

SeokJin looked at ChangWook before replying to the lady. "We are looking for one Jeon Jungkook."

"Jeon Jungkook??? As in the actor JEON JUNGKOOK??" Sunoo asked with his eyes in a bulge.

"He didn't said anything about being an actor." ChangWook said cluelessly

"Sunoo they might not be searching for the said Jeon Jungkook. Anyways, who would ask for the Jeon Jungkook so casually? That kid is always surrounded by bodyguards. He have been really reserved since his missing."

Sunoo ignored his mother in law and took out his mobile and scrolled through it. Seokjin wondered what that black box was. When it lightened up his eyes widened along with it.

"Appa magic." He whispered near ChangWooks ears which didn't go unnoticed by the lady.

"Are you looking for him?" Sunoo showed a recent picture of Jungkook from the internet.

"Yes. He is the one. Where will we find him? We need to talk to him."

"Oh dear. Jeon Jungkook is one of the acting sensation in Korea. A billionaire...."

So this is the first chapter... I have already said it's a short story... So chapters will be small. Since I have two other books in the writing, the updates would be a bit slow... But it would be worth it....
