(A/N: This chapter is only about Casey and Zico)

After the plane takes off Casey's left with plenty of time to think about how she's going to find Zico. Even though she told Kari and Jooyoung her phone would be off she thinks it would be safer on. She takes out it and turns it back on to start looking at maps of Jeju. Using the plane's wifi she researches the area where Zico's brother lives.

Starting with the hotel she reserved in the area she began looking for all the places Zico might frequent. She thought that if she could find him while he was out it would be easier than going house to house hoping he opens the door. She knows that can get her arrested so she puts all her efforts into her research. After a while she finds a couple of likely places and marks them on the map.

She hopes she can find Zico soon and when she does he won't completely ignore her. As she finishes her online search the pilot notifies the passengers they will be landing soon. Casey turns off her music and puts her things back in her bag to prepare for the landing. They make the decent and once the plane touches the ground people begin to get ready to disembark.

When she gets the chance she stands and moves to the aisle to get her duffle from the overhead compartment. After a long wait of shuffling along the plane she's finally able to exit and move to the entrance of the airport where she flags down a taxi. She tells the driver her hotel's address and he begins to drive.

Once she arrives she checks in and then makes her way up to her third floor room. She stops in front of room 312 and quickly opens the door. Her lack of sleep and the sudden trip start taking its toll on her. Casey drops her bags on floor and lays down on the bed, closing her eyes. She falls asleep hoping that when she wakes she will be able to start her search for Zico when she goes to dinner later.

A few hours later Casey wakes up a bit less tired and her mind more clear. She thinks for a moment that she's crazy for flying all the way to Jeju to look for Zico when she doesn't even know where he is, but the thought quickly passes when she moves to the bathroom to fix her hair and makeup.

When she finishes she grabs her backpack and phone then leaves the room and makes her way downstairs to the front desk.

There's a different young man at the counter when she approaches and she figures he may be able to help her in her search for Zico. After asking him to call her a taxi she asks him about a couple of popular underground hip-hop clubs in the area. He gives her a strange look before telling her of a few places, some she already knew of and a few she didn't. Casey thanks him with a smile and moves towards the front door when he stops her.

"Miss, here's the number for the cab company so you can call them to come back. If there's anything you need while you're out you can call the number on the back. Its mine," The guy says flirtatiously.

"Oh, ummm... thank you," Casey replies uncomfortably as she takes the card from him.

He holds on to it for a little too long before letting it go, giving her a wink and a smile as she moves away from him. She exits the building quickly, uncomfortable at how the guy was acting towards her. When she's out front the taxi is already waiting for her and she hurries inside instructing the driver to a restaurant.

She watches the scenery go by as they drive and it's not long before Casey is removing her seatbelt, paying and exiting the car. She immediately looks at the people inside hoping one of them will be Zico. Her search is interrupted by the hostess. She asks for a table for one and is led further inside immediately. Continuing her search as she walks further inside Casey still finds no tale of Zico in the restaurant.

Casey sits at her table and glances at the menu before immediately deciding on her meal. When the waiter arrives she orders quickly and then starts looking on her phone. Her meal arrives shortly and she eats in silence as she thinks over tomorrows plans. She's decided to do the majority of her search the next day considering how tired she still feels from the lack of sleep she's had recently.

When she finishes her food Casey pays and leaves the restaurant looking around outside as she exits. She finds a nice ice cream shop across the street. She calls for another cab then crosses the street to wait for it while eating some ice cream. She orders a chocolate cone and eats it at an outside table while waiting.

Casey never stops looking around for Zico, in hopes that he will just so happens to be nearby when she's around. She can't help but feel like she'll find him when she least expects it. Casey finishes her ice cream shortly before her taxi arrives. It takes her back to the hotel, but she doesn't quite feel like going back inside so soon. She decides to walk around the block to settle her food before going inside to sleep.

As she's walking and looking into the closed shops windows around the hotel she can't help feel slight disappointment that she wasn't able to find Zico. She tries to tell herself that she hasn't been at it that long and or been in Jeju all that long to begin with. As she finishes pepping herself up she's back at the hotel's entrance. She walks inside and immediately over to the elevator as she is greeted by a woman behind the counter.

Casey finds herself glad the sound man who flirted with her is now gone. And doesn't even notice someone walk up behind her to wait with her for the elevator. When it arrives Casey gets on quickly and is quietly surprised to see someone get on after her. She presses the button for the third floor and waits for the man to press one as well. When he doesn't she assumes his room is on the same floor and waits patiently for the doors to close.

As they are closing the man moves suddenly, scaring Casey a little, and presses the button for the second floor. Because of his odd behavior she has the urge to look at the man, but doesn't want to seem rude so she wills herself to face forward. The elevator soon stops on the second floor and the doors open smoothly.

Casey waits for the man to exit but he remains where he is. Casey looks suspiciously out at the darkened second floor hallway wondering why all the lights are off. As she's questions both the lack of lights and the man's strange behavior the doors begin to close again. As she's pushing aside her overactive thoughts the man grabs her arms and pushes her roughly out of the elevator.

She nearly falls over at the sudden movement forward. She lets out a small cry as she's propelled forward by the man.

Casey tries to turn to look at him, but he has a firm hold on her. He pushes her towards the darkest corner of second floor.

"What are mmfff!" Casey starts before being cut off.

The man moves a hand from her arm and slaps it hard over her mouth. The rough and sudden movement makes her cry out, but little sound escapes his hand. Before she can fight him off she is pressed hard against the corner.

"Shhhh," He whispers quietly into her ear.

Casey shudders from the feeling of his breath on her ear. She tries to move her head away from his mouth, but he holds her too tightly against the wall. Casey begins to try to scream through this hand.

"Shut up!" The man hisses harshly pressing his body harder into hers.

He pushes Casey even harder, using his body to pin her against the wall. Casey bit down hard on the man's hand that was covering her mouth. He hisses in pain and pulls his hand away from her mouth. Casey tastes blood in her mouth, telling her she bit him hard enough to draw blood. Taking the opportunity to yell for help Casey screams at the top of her lungs.

"HELP!"

Before she can scream more his bloody hand is on her mouth again. She tries her best to fight the man off, but he's too strong. He suddenly turns her to face him so he has better leverage over her. The man pushes his hips harder into hers causing her pain.

He moves his bloody hand from her mouth to her neck to keep her against the wall and from screaming out as he moves his other hand over her body. She finally gets a good look at his face and she recognizes him as the man from the front desk who flirted with her earlier.

"You never called," He says when he sees Casey recognizes him. "You broke my heart. You really should have called."

He smirks at her then he starts looking over her body. He pushes his chest onto hers and puts one of his hands up her shirt. Casey closes her eyes as tears stream down her face and she struggles against him.

He's much stronger than her and she fears what he's going to do to her with no one to stop him.

She feels his mouth on hers as he kisses her and his hand creeps further up her shirt.
