"Hold on let's not jump to conclusions yet San?"
Yunho spoke, it made Hongjoong want to roll his eyes
"Really yun, the first mention of a possible suspect and you don't want us to look into it" his words came out sharper than he intended them too.
"What? Hyung no, I'm just saying we should look further into this guy before we go and accuse him of this, and at the moment we don't even know who it was" Hongjoong bit his lip guilty.
"Right I know, sorry, this whole thing has been getting to me lately" his looked down at his hands, much like San before.
"Hyung is this about the fight? The one you had with him before he went missing?" Yunho carefully asked, Hongjoong nodded still not looking up to meet the younger's eyes.
"Yer, I said some horrible things to him and at the time I didn't care if we would never talk again, I just didn't realise how much he had meant to me until he was taken away"

*********
"Yah, Kim Hongjoong! Don't walk away from me!" Hongjoong turned around, his mind full of anger to face a 19 year old Park Seonghwa.
"I told you to leave me the hell along Seonghwa!" Hongjoong snapped back from where he stood.
"What? So you can work yourself to death, for a stupid grade!" Hongjoong's face sharpened at these words. He walked up to the slightly taller boy.
"You don't know what it's like to go home to them with my report card!" He was now yelling in the other face.
"But I know that it can't be worth getting yourself in the hospital for!"
Hongjoong pushed the taller back making him stubble.
"Just because you missed out on a mother doesn't mean you need to be everyone's else's!" Hongjoong regretted the words as soon as they came out of his mouth, but he didn't have time to think about it, because Seonghwa started yelling once more.

"How dare you bring my mum into this? I have to take care of you because you can't do it yourself! Do you think I want to be constantly looking out for you because you can't keep an eye on your own health. No! I don't want to! I want to live my own life! But you leave me no god dam choice!" At these words all the regret that Hongjoong once had vanished in seconds and he was yelling back.
"We'll go on then, go live your own life, don't brother me anymore with your annoying nagging and clinging, you're like a needy child!" He snapped back for a second he saw a flash of hurt come across Seonghwa's face, but it was gone just as fast.
"Fine, good luck taking care of yourself Kim, cause I'm not going to anymore!" Seonghwa barged past him, intentionally knocking into his shoulder as he did and without another look back Seonghwa left the school, leaving Hongjoong standing alone in the empty hall.

But then out of the corner of his eye, Hongjoong saw a flash of black. Looking to the end of the hall, Hongjoong saw a man dressed in complete black, face mask up, staring in his direction. Anger took over the teen once more.
"What the hell are you looking at!" He yelled towards the unknown man, without another word, the man stood out from behind the corner and walk straight toward him and without a word continued past him in the direction that Seonghwa had left.
"What an ass?" Hongjoong mumbled to himself and turned to leave the school, but remembered that Seonghwa had only gone that exact way a few minutes ago, not wanting to run into the other teen so soon after the heated argument, he walked the other way, going the long way out, not knowing that was the last time he would see his friend...

*************************************
"Hyung?" Hongjoong snapped out of his head to Jongho's voice they looked concerned. Ignoring those looks Hongjoong spoke.
"I think I saw the man in black too"  his voice was like a whisper.
"What when?" Yunho asked
"The last time I saw him, at the school, the day of our fight, there was a man dressed in black watching us from around the corner, I only noticed him once Seonghwa had left, he than walked right past me in the direction Seonghwa had just gone, I than walked in the other direction" tears where building up in hongjoong's eyes now knowing that he might of been able to help his friend.
"Hyung don't think that, it's not your fault, you had no way of knowing what would've happened and even if you followed than, what to say there wouldn't of been another time, he targeted Seonghwa for a reason he probably would've tried again" Hongjoong nodded at Yunho's words and didn't let his tears fall.
"Hey hyung if the guy walked straight past you did you get a look at his face?" San spoke for the first time in while, Hongjoong shook his head.
"No his face was covered completely, but I did notice one thing, he wore glasses thick black ones"
The other three nodded it wasn't a lot but it was something.

Than a knock at the door sounded once more...
