Ong Seongwoo

A week went by and Seongwoo had an important day ahead.

It was his police entrance exam.

That was the day his dream would come true or not.

Seongwoo remembered all the times he and his parents had spend at the police station, hoping they had found his brother. He had admired the men there, dreaming to become one of them ever since.

Minhyun was sitting beside him, taking a glance at his best friend. He was smiling, of course Hwang Minhyun would be prepared like the model student he was.

Seongwoo had studied his ass off for the past weeks, everything to pass this exam.

He needed to make it.

-

"Whoa that was so heavy! My head feels like it's gonna explode!", Seongwoo called out as soon as he saw Minhyun in the entrance hall of their university. The boy had finished faster than him, making Seongwoo all nervous.

"It was alright", Minhyun said in his usual emotionless self and Seongwoo laughed. Not even the most important exam of their lives could make the boy falter.

"Will you join me for some Judo today?", Minhyun asked, grinning.

"I hoped you'd ask, I need to get some stress out of my system."

-

They stayed at the gym for the rest of the day. Both boys continued to fight until they dropped down on the mats, sweat dripping down their chins but they were smiling.

Laying side by side and breathing heavily, Minhyun looked over to Seongwoo, thinking of something.

"Ong-ah, I always wanted to ask you something", his voice was raspy and he had to take a few deep breaths in between his words, "as soon as you get into the police, are you planning on searching for Daniel?"

Seongwoo gulped and took a breath, a small chuckle escaping his open mouth.

"Of course I'm gonna do that."

"And what if you do find him but - not in a good way?", Minhyun talked slowly as if he was careful not to cross any unspoken boundaries.

Seongwoo's expression closed off, only leaving a mask that was free of all emotions.

"I won't. Daniel is still out there and I'm gonna find him", the determination in his voice didn't give any room for an argument so Minhyun closed his mouth. He looked up at the ceiling again, only their breathing being heard for a while.
