"Why he doesn't reply my message? He brings his phone with him, right? Or not?" Chanyeol talked to himself while driving the car. Headed to the location Byunghun had told him before.

But later, he changed his direction as he made U-turn. The park Baekhyun usually go for jogging was his new destination now. He felt a bit uneasy, his instinct told him to meet the brunet first.

It almost 11 p.m. Probably Baekhyun had arrived home? Chanyeol predicted but still headed to the said place.

Once he was at the recreational park, just a few people there. An old couple, three kids with thier mom.

Where is Baekhyun?

Chanyeol stepped out from his glorious white car when he saw a familiar bicycle leaned carelessly against a bench.

This is Baekhyun's... right?

The expensive blue navy-white bicycle that Mr. Byun bought for him on his nineteenth birthday. A thin scratch was at the same spot too.

Yes, this is Baekhyun's. Then, where is him?

Chanyeol's eyes wandered around the park, randomly looked at the visitors' face one by one to find the little brunet. But failed.

He was about to approach anyone he saw to ask about Baekhyun -if they had saw that petite male around here- when suddenly, his shoe lightly kicked an object. He looked down and eyes slightly grew bigger.

Baekhyun's iPhone. The screen cracked.

Chanyeol bent down and took it before turned it on. Luckily, it still worked. Yes, that phone was Baekhyun's when the screen wallpaper appeared; a picture of him and Baekhyun that was taken during his birthday this year.

Omg. Baekhyun, where are you?

Chanyeol became more uneasy now as his instinct strongly told him Baekhyun was in danger.

He kept the cracked iPhone in his pocket and carried the brunet's bicycle into his car bonnet. Now, his next destination was the orphanage. Just in case if Baekhyun's there.

It took only fifteen minutes for him to arrive at the said place. He immediately went out from the car and got into the building to meet Mrs. Jung. That woman was changing a kid's cloth after took a bath.

"Oh-- hi, Mr. Park!" She had recognized and remembered Chanyeol's name now.

The younger replied back, a bit rushing but nicely. "Hi, Mrs. Jung."

"What brings you here, Mr. Park? Is everything okay?" The owner of the orphanage asked when the tall male in front of him seemed a bit pale and worried.

"Baek-- Baekhyun. Is he here?"

"He... is not here. Why, Mr. Park?"

"I tried to find him everywhere but failed. He went to a park for jogging this early morning but wasn't home yet and when I went to the park, I saw his bicycle and phone was cracked on ground." Chanyeol told Mrs. Jung everything happened.

Children gathered around them when they saw the tall male visited their place again. Some of them pulled Chanyeol's hands, asked him to play with them. Some others asked to get carry up by the tall latter. Chanyeol in rush now so he couldn't play with the kids.

"I hv to go now. Let's play again later. Ok? I'm sorry, kids." He squatted down and hugged them.

"Ah.. hyung. Please play with us just for awhile."
