[Mark's Pov]

I went out to search for Kiera the whole night. Firstly, I checked if she was in the building where she's been kidnapped before but it was as dark as the deepest bottom of a well and no one was there.

I was about to walk away but decided to check for once more, just to make sure. I looked every corner of the building but I couldn't find Kiera nor the kidnapper, Rick.

I should call the police.

I unlocked my phone and dialed the number but then suddenly Jae Bum called me.

"Where are you?" Jae Bum asked.

"I'm- Why? Is there something wrong?"I questioned.

"Don't you remember that we have a photoshoot for the magazine tonight?"

Oh no. I totally forgot about that. What am I supposed to do?? "Look, I'm sorry but can't it be postponed?"

"Yah! Stop answering my questions with questions. Come here right away! What are you even doing right now?"

"Please help me. I seriously need to-"I started to explain.

"Come here right now! No arguing. I need to go now. Make sure you come!" Jae Bum instructed and the phone call ended without another word.

What am I supposed to do now? I seriously can't just drop out of the photoshoot. Nor can I leave Kiera. I need to find her and save her.

Finally, I decided to attend the location of the photoshoot and discuss this with my manager.

I quickly got into a taxi and once I arrived at the entrance. My manager was also there.

"Where have you been? Come on, hurry inside,"my manager demanded.

"I'm sorry but can you do me a favor?"I asked.

"What favor?"

"It's just that, umm-"

"Hurry up, you have to do the photoshoot."

"Can't we postpone the photoshoot?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Please? I will seriously make it to the next photoshoot."

"What nonsense is this about. This magazine is going to be printed tonight and it's going out tomorrow. They've been waiting for long to match up with our scheduele even though the due is tomorrow. How on earth is it possible to postpone it?"

"I'm seriously sorry but I have to save someone. My friend got kidnapped."

"Save what? You think you're a hero? Are you pulling my leg or what? I'm seriously not going to be decieved by you again."

"But-" I started again but then suddenly Jae Bum came out and pulled me with him.

"Hurry up, we don't have time,"Jae Bum said and made me go to my stylist.

"But I have to-"I started again.

Jae Bum pushed me into the dressing room and my stylist handed me my clothes. What else can I do right now? I need to save Kiera. I don't know what Rick's going to do this time.

"Hurry up!"I heard my manager shout.

"Yes!"I answered and hurriedly got myself done.

--

Right after the last picture was taken, I quickly got myself changed to the clothes I wore earlier and ran outside.

At the entrance, I was stopped by my manager. "Where are going this time?"he asked.

"I need to save my friend."

"I told you to stop lying. I won't fall into your trap anymore,"My manager said.

"I'm not so please let me go?"I convinced him.

"It's late."he said.

I made a disappointed face and he glanced at his watch. "Be back at the dorm by 11,"he agreed.

"Thank you so much. I'll see you later!"I said and ran off.

When I passed my dorm, there was a note on my car.

Don't make the police get involved. Or I'll abuse Kiera and just kill her.

What is seriously his problem? I mean what does he even have anything to do with Kiera?

I quickly ran off to Kiera's grandparents' house and knocked hardly.

"What is this fuss about-"her grandfather came out.

"I'm sorry, Grandfather but do you know what happened to Kiera? Is she not home?"I asked him.

"She hasn't came home since this afternoon. We don't know where she went. Wait, don't tell me that-"her grandfather hypothesised.

"Yes, it's true." I answered.

Her grandfather's expression was seriously in shock. The tension became bigger when the sound from a televesion was loud enough for me to hear from the front door. We could tell that it was on the 10 pm news. We were quiet and didn't like what we felt we were going to listen to.

"A girl about the age of 18 was found in an old building in Gangwondo this evening at around 9pm. It is believed that the girl had passed away at around 8.30pm. The case is still under investigation but the culprit was suspected to be Rick Warner, an American-Korean who was also the culprit of the same incident that happened 5 years ago. We have reporter Yoo Hye Sun at the scene."

I was shocked with what I heard. It was as if my ears were poisoned with ivy and it spreaded to my heart because I couldn't believe that this was happening. This is seriously not Kiera, right? The picture was blurred so there's a chance that it's not her right?

I looked at both her grandparents and they were also as confused as me. I bet they felt worse.

"It's not our Chaerin, right?"her grandmother asked.

"Please don't let this happen,"her grandfather also prayed.

I glanced at them both and I was scared. I was scared that I'll lose my new friend whom I've just started to get comfortable with. My heart felt very heavy that all I could do was comfort Kiera's grandparents.

I hugged them both and I was facing the television. I observed the video of the reporter at the location and I saw something that I couldn't even believe it myself.

I wish the reporters were lying right now so that it could blind the truth from my eyes. Because what I saw was my handkerchief beside the dead body. It was mine. It was the one I had lended Kiera.

Please let it not be Kiera, I prayed.

I mean how can she leave like this without even saying goodbye? It hurts. My heart. Knowing that Kiera might be gone for real.
