Hongjoon || Seonghwa

It has been a week since the court trial, we were all back in seoul, and we decided to stay in yeosang's house, he had a rather vast and big house, it was able to fit 8 of us and possible more. I even met up with Jaehyun and Haechan and soon later, I got a call from the police station informing that sunoo and sunghoon were rescued and their owners are behind bars. I undoutably paid them a visit at the hospital where they were getting treated.

Everythign was slowly back in place, however we noticed a change in San's behavior. He still seemed hold grudges, he seemed to always been in thought, upset or mad and we'd even catch him up at night tapping some stuff in his laptop. It clearly wasn't a school project. It's the middle of the summer. We didn't feel like prying, well for the longest time, we didn't pry but Wooyoung, who I learned was dating san for nearly 6 months now, was starting to get very worried. 

He eventually confronted his boyfriend but it was always the same answer. "Oh its okay, I am just tired really.." He'd never talk to us about it and the closest thing we got to a real answer was "I had to ask myself whether what I was doing was right or not." 

That confused us all, equally. Maybe he really was tired, we just hoped he wasn't going to pull anything stupid. Eventually we ended up discussing it for a while, without san. He left saying he needed some space. He only went out to stay at his favorite coffee shop for the day, he promised he'd be back before 7. 

We let him be and used this time to talk about it with each other. Something was bothering and it was about his words. "You don't think he'll.." I started as I looked at the rest to see if they understood me, they only one who did was Jongho. "I hope not, I am sure it was just in the heat of the moment, he isn't that reckless.." he replied biting his nails, clearly he wasn't even confused with his own words. 

"He wouldn't do what? Seonghwa.. what are you think about?" Hongjong said as he looked at me worriedly. I glanced around and eventually sighed. 

"Remember that night? Back at the shelter after you saved me.. San snapped and he..he said he was ready to set all of them on fire. I am not worried about them but.. I am worried he commits a crime." I said with some worry in my voice and eventually Yunho shimmed in "I am sure its not that, I mean everyone is.. they are all arrested and behind bars" "Everyone but my father." I interrupted and the room went silence 

Wooyoung shook his head "No.. No! San wouldn't kill anyone.. I am sure of it" He said rather hurriedly "He'll be mad for a while, but he wouldn't- no.. he doesn't even know where your father is.." He said and I could tell he was upset, he stood up and looked at me "You.. do you think he can actually kill anyone..? Do you still care about your father- I mean.. so what? What if he does kill him? What is it to you!?" Wooyoung yelled and I was a little taken back 

"What- No! I don't care about him one bit, I am worried about San! Even if he wishes to ill my father, he won't go down without a fight okay? I am sure by now, he's alreadd running an illegal sex trafficking ring.. what would happen to san if he gets involved with someone like him..?" I said, I was really worried.

Wooyoung fell silent and I continued, I had to convince him "If my father could rape his own child, taking a strangers life must be a piece of cake to him.. I don't want to think of that ever.. San is just upset.. he shouldn't think of it.." I added as I sat down. The room went silent again and I took a deep breath. 

"You know.. maybe we are overthinking it?" Yeosang said before shaking that thought away "No, I am sure we are, he is a little tired and I am sure he'll be home by 7.. he just needs some time. Let's wait.." Yeosang continued on and we all agreed. 

It was 4PM now, we decided to make lunch as we wait for him  to come back. 7PM hit and nothing. 8PM.. 9PM.. 10PM. 

Still, no sight of San. We called and called and we got no answer, nothing, no trace of our friend.

Little did we know.. San was never going to answer our calls.
