"Hello...?"

"Who is this?"

"It's Amy, Hoseok's girlfriend. You're.. Jungkook, right?"

She heard a sigh on the other side of the phone.

"I didn't know he had a girlfriend... It's been a long time since we talked..." He sounded disappointed through the line.

"Really?" Amy expressed slowly, not knowing what else to say.

Jungkook sighed again. "Where is he? It'd be nice to talk again."

"Missing, actually." Amy felt the usual lump in her throat and wetness gathering in her eyelids ready to spill the moment she blinked.

"..w- what...? For how long...?" she noticed the worry evident in Jungkook's voice.

"A bit more than 3 weeks..."

"Oh my God... what happened- how did it happen? Have the police found nothing? What about his parents? They must be worried sick!"

Amy couldn't hold back the tears. "We were on vacation. We went to Namhan fortress and I think he went on a trail out into the woods while I was watching this stupid tea ceremony.... God I shouldn't have done it.... As for the police, they searched a little, then stopped. They told me he probably just left me on purpose. His parents, well it's like they're already planning the funeral."

"Damn... I'm glad you called me. But.. why... did you?"

Amy paced the room of the hotel she was staying at.

"I want to go out there and look for myself, but I didn't want to go alone. I thought maybe one of his childhood friends would help, since the police and his family won't."

Jungkook didn't hesitate. "When do you want to meet?"

"I have to go back home to America today. But i'll be back in a week."

"Yoongi it's midday and he still hasn't woken up yet. We can't just sit here forever."
