Yukhei and everyone else but a few sprinted down the road and into the gates of the park.

Jaehyun, Jeno, Sicheng and Yuta stayed home to calm the cops and to stay as back up if anything happened or anyone got hurt.

The other 13 guys ran out with nothing but each other and hope. They ran along the path in the park until they stopped by the grand oak tree. "We should split up," Kun said between breaths. They all nodded and either ran off in a pair or alone. It was probably smarter to go in a pair but it was too late now.

Yukhei ended up running off by himself, desperate to find Jungwoo. This whole thing had constantly had him thinking of the worst things. He'd cried most nights thinking of what could be happening to Jungwoo.

He ran through an open field and into a forest. He didn't know this park at all so he didn't know where he was going. They'd be hidden in the woods, so they'd probably be here, right? He was thinking of any excuse just to keep his hopes up. As he ran thought the trees and bushes, he was getting hit by practically every stick and thorn bush there was. He kept running and running though.

After what felt like hours of running through nothing but trees and thorns, Yukhei came out into another open field. He scanned the area to see if there was anything worth of exploring. He felt a wave of deja vu as he looked around. What was that about? He thought. He
remembered the time when he lost Kun while they were playing in a park.

"Let's play hide and seek!" a very young Yukhei said to Kun, in Chinese. The two young boys were in their local park, playing games. It had been ages since they'd last met up so this was special to them. "Ok then. You count I'll hide," Kun said and ran off. "Count to 50!" he shouted. Yukhei covered his eyes and began to count. The truth is, he couldn't count to 50. He was only 5.

"Something... something... 50!" he said and opened his eyes. He had to close them again though seeing as it was bright. He ran over to the small group of trees as his first place to look for his best friend. "Kun?" he shouted out. He looked around and up all the trees before he gave up and ran to another spot.

After what felt like ages of searching he gave up completely. He felt like he'd looked everywhere and still hadn't found Kun.

He ended up going back to the place he counted and sat down. He pulled his legs into his chest and rested his chin on his knees. He looked around at everything. The other children playing, the families having picnics, everything. He looked at the trees and the river and began to tear up. He was worried and upset about Kun. He felt worried because if he doesn't find him, he'll be here forever, but he didn't know where he would be. He began to cry as he pulled his legs in closer to his chest.

After a few minutes, he heard footsteps running towards him and felt someone engulf him in a hug. "Why're you crying?" the person said in an all too familiar voice. Yukhei looked up to see Kun with a worried face. "I co-couldn't find you a-and I though you'd be lost f-forever," Yukhei sniffled. Kun softly smiled at the young boys cuteness. "I wouldn't be lost forever. I'd always come back for you Xuxi," he said and hugged him again.
