"Have you seen this man? Have you seen him around here? Anywhere?"

Amy was walking around, talking to workers, security personnel, and even random tourists if they had seen him, a picture of her and Hoseok together on her phone in hand. No one had. It had been hours now and to say she was beginning to worry, was an understatement. The moment she got free from the tea demonstration, she expected nothing less than to see him waiting for her with that radiant smile of his. But it was her that waited with disappointment. She had called him even.

The line had gone dead without even ringing.

"We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service."

After hours of waiting and trying his phone repeatedly, Amy had decided to go back to his parent's house alone, hoping they would have heard a trace of him; that maybe there was just a...misunderstanding and he'd be waiting for her there, worried about her with a dead phone in hand and a crazy story, a promise to make it up to her and they'd find a hotel somewhere romantic to finish out the rest of their vacation.

She didn't know that wouldn't be happening any time soon. She thought back to the last time they had been together as she passed the familiar shops and buildings just before she noticed the sign for that damned tea demonstration she wished she had never seen.

"Oh look! Card readings!" Amy shouted, pointing to a small building just outside on the road to the fortress.

Hoseok pouted. "Oh yeah. You think that stuff is real?"

Amy shrugged. "Probably not. But... it sure is interesting to see what they'd have to say. Don't you think?"

Hoseok made a face, lifting his lip in horror. "That's how they get you. It's a marketing ploy for the desperate to spend their money." A cheeky grin crept up as he pulled her closer. " I have everything I need in my future."

Amy giggled lightly, "God, you're so sappy," she remarked and rolled her eyes at him.

"Only because it bothers you so much, " he teased back at her, smirking to himself and letting it drop as she led them to the small shop. "You're really doing this?" he asked her with raised eyebrows as she stopped in front of the glass door to the shop.
