Glimmering rays of sunlight streamed in through hyunjin and seungmins bedroom window however the aforementioned was no where to be found. The older boy woke up with just the white duvet wrapped around his stiff body and his eyes widened in panic when he saw he had woken up alone.

Immediately, panic rushed into his head but they were cut off as he caught sight of a small pink envelope sitting pristine and pretty on the top of seungmins vacant pillow. through clouded weary vision hyunjin pried it open to reveal a letter embelished in pastel doodles and stickers

this boy i swear to the heavens above

hyunjin hesitantly read what was inside:

˚✧₊⁎dearest hyunjinnie⁎⁺˳✧༚

before i begin, please don't be terrified i'm okay and no this is not a death letter EVERYTHING IS OKAY. i just felt the need to explain myself as you have probably woken up to my side of the bed being empty. Anyways, i have decided it is in my best interest to leave Seoul. however i'm not telling you for how long, but its not forever. I think its best for us to spend some valuable time apart and take this opportunity to figure out what we want to do with our lives. Unfortunately, that is not the only reason i have decided to leave, as much as i wish it was :( i have made the decision not to live my life in constant fear. i want to be able to spend our moments together in sheer euphoria, not having the inkling feeling that someone is watching or plotting against our happiness in the back of my mind. i need to take this time to recover and re-discover myself. i have been hurting for a while now and carrying on in the place that makes me fear most isn't going to do me, you or us any good. i hope you aren't too devastated and i assure you none of this is your fault so please, i beg, don't beat yourself up about my choices. i'm doing this for us and in the spirit of faith. While i'm gone i want you to promise me a few things. don't come looking for me, i know its hard but please give this a chance first; don't be sad, i want only joy and laughter to fill this period of time; stay healthy, i want you to keep living to the fullest; Finally, don't be worried, my promise to you is that everything will be okay. I'm sorry and remember that we will see each other very soon. keep smiling and have faith. everything will be okay.

Tears laced hyunjins glassy eyes as he started down at the paper clutched in his hand, with gritted teeth he bit back his tears and let a low sigh escape his parted lips. All tension left his body as he flopped forward into his pillow. he lazily ran a finger through his bed-head. in the faint morning light hyunjin felt something roll from the pillow next to him down to his side. he reached a hand only to enclose his fingers around a small tube. it didn't take even three seconds for him to realise what it was. the strawberry lipgloss they bought together. the tired raven-haired brought the item up to his face and he stared into the cloudy plastic, reminiscing the moments they had because of this one tiny thing. hyunjin refuses to let the object out of his sight as he gently placed it in his pyjama pocket.

An hour had passed since hyunjin had read the letter and he was now frantically pacing up and down the living room on a five-way call with minsung and jeongchan ;), seungmins letter clutched tightly in his other hand.

"so are you guys helping me find him or what?!" the taller male asked, anticipating the answer from the confused teenagers across the line.

"i mean yeah i guess" inputted minho and within 10 minutes they were all gathered around the marble kitchen counter, coffees in hand and a map stretched across the shining surface. the group spent the entire day planning the expedition, courage rich and prominent in their eyes.
