It was unavoidable for Japan to wake up and find out Korea was not with her in the room. At first, she thought Korea had woken up early and left for breakfast, but something Qing said didn't quite add up to her knowledge, "Your friend said he wanted a stroll outside, do not fret; he'll come back.~"

If that was the case, why wouldn't he wait for them before he decided to up and leave? Did he get permission from Qing or Mongolia? She'll have to ask him once he arrives in the kitchen. Right now she takes a sip from a herbal green tea to douse her rising apprehension. "*Yawn* Morning, Japan!"

"Good morning, Japan!" Mongolia and Russia have finally exited their room for breakfast. He runs along and takes a seat first, and Mongolia joins in between him and Japan. "Is Korea still asleep? I swear, the guy's a heavy sleeper..." Japan looks at him in question as Mongolia raises a brow from the look he is getting. "What?"

"You mean... you don't know?"

"That I do not know what?

Japan analyzed the area, Qing was currently gone, so it was just the three of them alone; however, just to be sure, Japan gestured for him to lean in close so she could whisper in his ear. "What? He left-- for a walk?"

"That's what he told me..." Japan finishes her morning story. Mongolia sighs and rubs his temples whilst leaning on the table, deep in thought he replies, "I know he has a tendency to make brash decisions before using his brain... but he wouldn't just ditch without a word!"

"I think you're right. I don't like this one bit, Mongolia, I think we should leave before something worse happens to us. I don't think Korea is coming back... or better yet, I have a feeling he's still inside this temple..." 

"I-"

Mongolia stops in his words when he sees Macau and Hong Kong beginning their daily routine, "Oh my, you're all already awake! Impressive. Normally, it's always us the ones to get up first," it was refreshing to have someone other Macau to converse with during early times. 

"I don't suppose you two know where Korea is?" Mongolia asks the two if they've seen Korea. They shrug and shook their heads, "No, is he not with you?" It's best they kept this information away from them, Japan doesn't say more. "Hey... if something is bothering you... you can tell us, we promise not to get the word around. Especially to you know who, " Macau notices their tense form, there must be a problem they aren't comfortable sharing. 

"I-It's nothing... just tell me if you see him, it's about time we leave, we overstayed our welcome." Their news of departure upsets them, nonetheless, they understand. "Sure,"

...

"Good morning," As usual, Qing arrives for his morning feast of tea and noodles. This time, China was by his father's side, dressed up to a perfect prim in the presence of Qing. Not beating around the bush, Mongolia stood up with a firm face, "Qing, where is Korea?"

"I told you, he's out exploring..." Like hell he is, Mongolia is not buying this bullshit story. "And you just let him? There is no way that guy is gonna find his way back! I'm going out to look for him! Japan, you come too!" Russia's hand was grabbed to be dragged toward the exit.

"はい!" Japan quickly retreats from the table to tag along, that is until Qing stops them. "Now now,  let's not all jump to troubles. Mongolia, you shouldn't drag other people into your business, you know very well how that ended~" What he implied angered him, he crossed his arms and said, "So what are you suggesting-- that you'll go out to find him?"

"I don't necessarily have to, take Macau and Hong Kong with you. The boy and the young lady over there can stay inside the temple~" Qing's eye moves to Japan, and her posture stiffens from his perverted stare. "If you think I'm leaving Russia attended to you, you're absolutely delusional!"
