"Last night, Do Kyungsoo, a 5'8" barista, was also reported missing in addition to the other two men that were reported earlier this week. He was last seen closing up after a night shift, where nearby security cameras found that he was muffled and dragged from behind. The culprit is unknown, but the footage shows that the man was taller than 6 feet and wore all black. Although it is uncommon for males to have an inferior role in a kidnapping manifestion, we would like to warn any young men around the age of twenty with an approximate height of 5'10" and a weight of 57-64 kg to take extreme caution when wandering alone at night. Thank you all for tuning in."

Lucas heavily sighed. "You know what that means, Snoopy."

Jungwoo coughed; he was severely congested and honestly felt like crap. "No I don't...what does it mean?"

"It means you're not allowed to go out at night anymore."

"Why?" He asked in a disappointed tone.

"Didn't you just hear? You're like 5'11" and weigh hardly anything. You could be a potential target for that kidnapper guy! And the one who took Jaehyun too!"

"Hey...we don't know that's what happened."

"But that's besides the point. You can't go out alone at night, or at all for that matter!"

Jungwoo mocked him. "Well then it's a great thing we work in the same building, huh?"

Lucas rolled his eyes and sat behind the older on the couch, wrapping his arms around his waist. Jungwoo leaned back onto him, taking in his warmth. He felt a light kiss being placed on his lips. Intertwining their fingers, he sighed.

"It's scary, huh?"

Jungwoo nodded.

The younger leaned closer and whispered, "I'll protect you." He smiled.

"Y'all need to stop with your suggestive tendencies." Renjun barged in, with Taeyong silently following behind him.

They huffed and hesitantly let go of each other, trying not to make their friends too uncomfortable. "Did you see the news Taeyong?"

Taeyong nodded carefully, seemingly choking back tears. Jungwoo felt bad for his friend. Jaehyun had been missing for almost a week now, and Taeyong surely wasn't handling it well. Of course, Jungwoo semi-lasted for a year, but he nonetheless knew what it felt like. He knew how much it destroys you.

Jungwoo stood up. "Come on."

"Huh? Where are we going?" Lucas asked.

"We're gonna go find Jaehyun."

The four paced outside in heavy coats, Lucas holding onto Jungwoo to make sure he wasn't too cold. Once setting out on the sidewalk, they noticed flakes slowly and beautifully beginning to fall from the sky. Making their way to the police station, it progressively got colder. So, upon arriving, they were extremely ecstatic.

As they walked in, Jungwoo turned. "You two, stay here. Taeyong and I will be right back." He leaned up and kissed Lucas on the cheek.

He walked with Taeyong to an enclosed office, guided by an escort. They sat down in either chair on the front side of the man's desk.

"Ah, hello boys. How can I help you?"

"Good morning, sir. I'm Jungwoo and this is my friend, Taeyong. We're both close friends of Jung Jaehyun, one of the kidnapping victims. We were wondering if you had any news on the case that you haven't released to the media yet."

The officer looked around quickly and cleared his throat. "There's no harm in telling you this, but it may not be very helpful either. We had a supposed witness come in on his own and talk to us about last night. He told us a bit about the kidnapper that he saw from a distance. He also mentioned something about...uh...what was it...Oh! Big feet. The culprit had big feet. There were some large footprints on the scene too, so he really wasn't lying. Sorry boys, I don't know how much that helps you."

Jungwoo nodded slowly. "Ah, it's good enough sir. Thank you for your time." He and Taeyong bowed before exiting the room and returning to Renjun and Lucas.

"What did they say?" Lucas whispered, walking out of the station with the others.

"We'll talk about it later."

Jungwoo moved his head to either side, attempting to pop the painful joint. He sat alone on his bed, extremely tired and worn out from his constant contemplation. Lying down and turning off the lights, the door slowly creaked open, revealing Lucas. He shuffled over to him.

"You can go to sleep once you change; you still have the cut on your stomach, remember? It could reopen if you fall asleep with jeans on."

He lazily got up, changing into one of Lucas' shirts, which was so long that it completely covered his boxers as he laid back down.

"You're cute," said Lucas, inching closer to Jungwoo.

"Whatever. Listen." He saw the younger nod. "If I'm gonna catch the kidnapper-"

"Hold up. You're not catching anyone. We will do our best to find him, as long as you promise me you'll stay safe."

"Anyways...I may...need to get back to doing some things..."

"Assassin things?"

"Kinda?" Jungwoo said, unsure if Lucas would support him.

Lucas chuckled. "Go ahead and rant, Snoopy. I'll help you in any way possible."

Jungwoo smiled, kissing him on the lips. "Sometimes I forget how great you are."

He pretended to be shot in the heart. The older leaned forward, genuinely concerned. Lucas chuckled once again, taking Jungwoo's hand in his and kissing it.

As they prepared to go to sleep, Lucas spooned over Jungwoo, wrapping his arms around his entire body. Jungwoo forced him to let go temporarily. "You'll get sick if you're too close."

"I'm not gonna get sick, you baby. Just let me hold you."

Jungwoo could no longer advocate for himself and let his lover do as he pleased. His long and bulky arms rested on the boy's chest, embracing him tightly. He couldn't help but giggle at the feeling.

I get to spend the rest of my life with him. He thought.
