The Direction Where the Sun Rises
Part 3

I checked the inside of Two-Star Burger and Hoseok was nowhere to be seen. It had already been four days since he'd stopped pitching up for dance practice. Someone said he told my dance partner he was taking a break. He hadn't answered anyone's calls after that. He didn't even read the messages in the Just Dance group chat.

I knew his ankle was bothering him. Maybe it was that night. The night when my dance partner got injured because of me. It rained that night. He carried her on his back all the way to the hospital in the rain. His condition must've have worsened...

As I stepped into the restaurant, the workers greeted me happily.

"Is Hoseok off today?" I asked them.

"He's on sick leave for about three weeks. I think. I'm not too sure. His ankle got worse and he had to wear a cast. Our manager told him to take some time off."

After that, I ran to his house. I had to time to wait for the bus, so I made my way up the steep road. It was so hot. I darted up the stairs to his floor. I was dripping with sweat by the time I got to his place. I tried opening the door, the doorknob hot from the sun. It was locked.

I decided to leave a message on our group chat.

"Where are you, Hoseok?"

By the end of the day, he still hadn't replied.
