"Shit." Chan first words for the day. He rolls out of his bed and wonders why he stayed up all night instead of sleeping.

He takes his phone to look what time it is and should he take a buss or walk.

"Shit, shit, shit. My parents are going to kill me!" Chan screams as he starts putting his clothes on as he panicks more and more.

His phone starts ringing and he just answer not looking who is calling but also he is in fear if it was good idea to take a call.

"You are Bang Chan right?" Chan let's out somewhat relief sigh.
"Yeah that's me." Chan says packing his backpack.

"I am calling you because you are only one in our class that speaks good English besides Felix and me and you're late, so as an excuse for being late I am going to tell the teacher that you are with Felix at the police station to comfort him." 

Chan drops his bag and sits down on the edge of his bed. He could skip school and not get his parents mad about it.

"What police station he is in right now?" Chan says while he empties his back on his bed and takes some hoodies with him if he stays long and wishes that he could skip the whole school day.

"That one that is closes to our school. I'll give all the homework later for two of you. Comfort him please. The nurse told me earlier he passed out and saw something that she didn't want to talk to me.

Just comfort him..."

"I'll do my best, don't worry." Chan says as the phone is hung up and Chan looks at the hoodies he picked. He throws them back at the closet and takes the yellow big hoodie that's Chan's warmest hoodie.

He steps out of his room and runs to the kitchen and takes something to eat on the way and runs out of his house.

"Oh thank god you are awake. Can you tell me your name?" Felix tries to make up what's going on as his eyes slowly starts opening. He didn't understand most of the words the person asked but tries to look around what happened.

"What time is it?" He asks in English not caring if the other person would understand anything. He sits up and looks at the person. She looks like a nurse, but they are still at the road.

"It's 7 am and It's been over 3 hours after the incident. The road is closed 'cause the case of the burning man you saw seems suspicious, but can you tell me your name." Felix was little surprised the fact she speaks in English. He is just out of his mind what just happened.

"Your friend kept calling so I told him that he can find you at the police station." The nurse says helping Felix to stand up.

"Let's get you inside the car." The nurse says as he walks Felix to the police car and tells them that he finally woke up and is ready for investigation.

As the car ride makes it's way in to it's destination Felix feels anxious. Why is he taken to police station? He wasn't the one who rammed over the guy and hit the pole.

"Don't worry too much. I know it's a traumatic thing to see someone lost their life in front of your eyes. We are only investigating you 'cause that burned corpse might be a small clue to our real mystery." The poliman says.

Felix looks up confused not understanding much of it but he could understand that he might be a small clue to them but he didn't understand much. He should learn more. Felix feels still anxious.

"We are here." The policeman says and steps out of the car. Felix feels more scared for no reason. The door next to him opens.

"Follow me." The poliman says and hands his hand to help Felix get down. As they both walk in Felix feels like he can't breath and he feels little cold for not wearing much clothes last night and the weather is getting more colder.

"Your friend called us and said he'll send someone to comfort you 'cause he can't come due to his position at school that's important to the school." One of the policies says as Felix sits down and understanding that someone will come here. He wishes that it wouldn't be on one his bullies.

"So let's get going with the questions. What did you saw at the road?" The policeman in front of him said. Felix looks confused 'cause his brains doesn't want to function Korean. He just stares at his feet.

"Did you hear the questions or do I have to repeat for you?"He says as he looks at Felix feeling like the boy doesn't even listen.

"I hears clearly but let me translate it to English officer." Felix heards someone talking behind him that sounded familiar. He turns around and sees the guy from the yesterday he met at the store.

"What did you saw at the road?" Chan says in English as he takes a chair and sits next to Felix.

"I saw... um this guy on fire and told me to get out of there... and then the truck hit the man and them smashed on the pole... the man told me to get out of there and not help him..." Felix says feeling more and more like he is saying something wrong.

"So, he saw one guy burning. He asks if he needs help but instead the guy told him to get out of there and after that the truck hit the man and then hit the pole." The policeman nods and writes everything important down.

"Was there anything else you noticed?" Chan asks as Felix plays with his thumbs. Then something flicks in his mind.

"I might have picture of 'cause the view before that whole incident looked cool." Felix says not sure if he still has it. He takes his phone out mean while Chan translates what he just said.

"Here..." Felix says while handing his phone to the man behind the desk. In the pick you can see the man burning all over while you can see someone in white hoodie in all black stains leaving the gas station from a far.

"I'll sent this to myself. This helped a lot kid." He says while doing something to Felix phone. Chan looks at Felix as he feels his uneasiness.

"You may leave." He says and hands the phone back to Felix as the two Aussies stand up from their seats.

"Umm, I am Felix..." Felix tries to break the awkward silence between them as they exit the police station. The cold breeze hits Felix, to give him shivers down his whole body.

"I am Chan. Wait a second."Chan says as he noticed that Felix is shivering so he kneels down to open his backpack properly. He takes the hoodie out and puts his backpack back to his back.

"Here." He says as he hands the hoodie to Felix. Felix looks surprised the fact he had a other hoodie besides what he is wearing.

"Thanks." Felix says and puts on the hoodie. As they continue to walk Chan couldn't help to think how small and comfy Felix looks at that hoodie.
