[One happy morning...]
SeoHyun: *cooking breakfast* Member ah! You guys better get up to this great smelling soup!
JongHyun: *coming out with a sleepy face in his pajamas* Morning Hyun...
SeoHyun: Morning! Breakfast will be ready in a minute!
-DING DONG!-
SeoHyun: Oppa, can you please get the door?
JongHyun: *nodding and walking towards the door*
-door opens-
Guard: Hi... here are your mails for this month.
JongHyun: *grabbing hold of the big pile of mail* Thank you, ajusshi.
-door closes-
JongHyun walked groggily to the coffee to sort out the mail to it's respective owners. The pile of mail is growing larger and larger every month since their popularity is steadily growing in Korea. Just when JongHyun is getting bored of sorting out mails, he suddenly saw one letter which caught his eye. The letter wasn't heavily decorated. It was placed in a brown mini envelope which is addressed to it's owner - SeoHyun.
JongHyun: Hyun ah!
SeoHyun: Neh? *answering from the kitchen*
JongHyun: You've got a letter!
SeoHyun: *walking out with a ladle in hand* What? But... that's impossible.
JongHyun: Here... *passing the letter over*
SeoHyun: *grabbing the letter and tearing it open* But... nobody knows I live here now.
JongHyun: Really nobody?
SeoHyun: Yeah... nobody at all.
JongHyun: Oh... *scratching his head* that is weird.
SeoHyun: *quietly flipping open the letter, then silently reads it*
JongHyun: So... who is it from? *curious*
SeoHyun: *expression changes from surprised to pure scared*
JongHyun: Hyun ah... why? What did it say...?
SeoHyun: *shocked and didn't dare to move*
JongHyun: Hyun ah... come on, let me read it. *grabs the letter*
The letter: Hi Hyunnie... remember me? Why did you left so abruptly and you didn't even leave any contact. Why? Don't you miss me? Don't you want to meet me again? I definitely want to meet you a lot. Should we see each other again? I know where you live now... so, I will find you anytime soon. Please anticipate it. Love you, CS
JongHyun: CS? Who is CS?
SeoHyun: *near tears and shaking heavily*
JongHyun: What's wrong, Hyun? Who is this CS guy?
SeoHyun: *snatches the letter back and runs to her room* *door locks*
JongHyun: *chases after her* Hyun ah, who the hell is that guy? Come out! *bangbangbang*
After 10 minutes of banging the door, JongHyun finally gave up and decided to go find YongHwa. The other member are still deeply asleep as they worked till very late yesterday. JongHyun always goes to the leader when he does not know what to do. He should at least tell YongHwa hyung since SeoHyun seems really disturbed.
JongHyun: *shakes YongHwa's shoulders* Hyung, wake up now. Something's wrong with Hyun.
YongHwa: *groggy* What...? Don't disturb me.
JongHyun: *frustrated* I said something is WRONG with Hyun!YongHwa: *finally heard the important fact* WHAT? *sits up immediately*
JongHyun: I don't know. I woke up this morning and Hyun was just cooking as usual. Then, the guard ajusshi came to deliver our mail. Weirdly, there was one letter that was addressed to Hyun. After she read that letter, she never spoke a word. She was just there looking so frightened and was shaking a little. She was so stiff that I thought she would never move again. When I kept asking her, suddenly she just grabs the letter and runs to her room. Now, she had locked herself in the room. I banged on the door for like 10 minutes already and I can't even hear a thing from inside. I'm really worried about her. Why is she acting like that? *blurting everything out quickly*
YongHwa: *stunned at JongHyun's speed talking* CALM DOWN! Okay... okay... Now... what do we do? Okay... let's go to her room now. *getting up from bed and walks towards SeoHyun's room*
JongHyun: *banging on the door again* Hyun ah... open up!
YongHwa: Hyun ah! Open the door! You're worrying oppa!
JongHyun: Hyung, she is not answering at all!
YongHwa: AH! I know. Key. Take the master key. It's in the kitchen drawer.
JongHyun: Okay! *runs to take the master key*
Once they finally found the correct key to the door, they were shocked to see the SeoHyun in front of their eyes. SeoHyun was hiding under her blankets and sitting at the furthest corner of her bed. She looked like a frightened child who dodged under the covers for self-protection. She looked so fragile.
YongHwa: Hyun ah... why are you like this? *carefully going towards her*
JongHyun: Yes, Hyun... why?
YongHwa: *carefully sitting on to the bed* Hyun ah... what happened?
SeoHyun: *moving away from YongHwa*
YongHwa: *carefully placing a hand on her shouders* Hyun ah...
SeoHyun: *squirming out of his touch and starts sobbing uncontrollably* Dirty... dirty...
YongHwa: Hyun ah... it's nothing. I'm just YongHwa. Just YongHwa and JongHyun there. It's okay.
SeoHyun: *looks up to YongHwa* Oppa... dirty...dirty...
YongHwa: What is dirty...? *confused* What's bothering you?
SeoHyun: I... am...dirty. I...am...
YongHwa and JongHyun: *confused*
SeoHyun: *covering her head and cries out loud*
YongHwa: *goes over to hug SeoHyun*
SeoHyun: *tries to move out of his hug but gives up eventually and cries on to YongHwa's shoulder*
After awhile, YongHwa and JongHyun finally convinces SeoHyun to rest in her bed. She practically cried herself to sleep anyway. Then, YongHwa and JongHyun left her and went out of the room with the letter in hand.
YongHwa: Who the hell is this creep? *getting slightly jealous because of the secret admirer*
JongHyun: I don't know, but he sure disturbs Hyun. I think he is doing this on purpose! *angry*
YongHwa: But, who is he to cause so much distress to Hyun? I've never seen her like this. It is as if she can't even control herself anymore.
JongHyun: I really don't know but I guess he must be a major problem.
YongHwa: Is there a way we can find out?
JongHyun: I don't know. Should we ask the guard?
YongHwa: That should be the best and only way now.
[Guard House]
YongHwa: Ajusshi!
Guard: Neh? *smiling politely*
YongHwa: Sillyehamnida... but do you remember whom did you get this letter from?
Guard: This letter? Oh... of course I do. This is the only letter that was sent in by a guy. All the other letters were either by post or by girls. This was the only one sent in by a guy.
JongHyun: Do you remember him? Do you know who he is? How is he like? *asking quickly*
Guard: I'm so sorry boys. I don't know him. Plus, he is quite covered up that day. Hats and glasses. I can't even see him clearly. So sorry, but I can't help you.
YongHwa: It is okay.
With that, they went back up to the dorm feeling dejected.
[C.N.Blue Dorm]
MinHyuk and JungShin were already up by the time both of them reach back up to the dorm. They were both feasting on the breakfast that SeoHyun had cooked without realising that she's nowhere around.
MinHyuk: *happy* Oh good morning hyung! Have you had breakfast? Seems like you haven't.
JungShin: Yah... this is damn good.
YongHwa: *walking over to SeoHyun's room* Hey! Any of you see SeoHyun?
JongHyun: *shocked* She's not there?
JungShin: Yah hyung, calm down. She's a grown person. She can go anywhere she like okay.
JongHyun: That means you saw her?
JungShin: Yeah. She came out and told us she needs to go out for awhile. So, she went out.
MinHyuk: Yeah... she even told us to 'enjoy our breakfast'.
YongHwa: Is she okay when she went out?
JungShin: She seems normal... although she does act a little weird. I mean, it's this freaking cold and she just went out, forgetting her jacket and scarfs. But, I think it's fine though since it is just for awhile.
JongHyun: So she was out in a rush?
MinHyuk: Quite. You can put it that way. Why the hell you ask so much hyung? She's our manager, not our slave.
YongHwa: *talking to JongHyun* How can we miss her when we were at the guard house just now? It is the only exit and entrance.
MinHyuk: For your information hyung, she left for about 5 minutes and the both of you are already back here asking a ton of questions.
JongHyun: Damn! That means we coincidently missed her?
YongHwa: Guess so. Come on! Let's go down again and see if we can catch up with her.
JungShin: Hyung! Why are you both acting like that? What's the matter again?
YongHwa: No time to explain. Bye.
The both of them ran out of the door and smashed the lift button. While waiting impatiently for the lift to arrive, YongHwa was fidgetting from left to right, screaming swear words at the lift for being so slow. He practically kicked the lift door as if it will hasten it's speed.
JongHyun: Wow... hyung. Calm down man. I know something is definitely wrong but you are over worrying.
YongHwa: DAMN I'm not over-worrying. It's this damn lift that doesn't ever move! Why the hell does it take so long?!
JongHyun: Hyung... calm down. I know how you feel right now.
YongHwa: NO YOU DON'T. What if something happens to her? We leave her for like 10 minutes and she's gone. Hell, before that she was all cowering and crying and scared. What possibly could have happened? *blurting out everything in worry*
JongHyun: Hyung, I really understand. I understand how you feel about Hyun.
YongHwa: What do you mean? *realising that he said a little too much in an unintended way*
JongHyun: Hyung. I'm not exactly blind you know? I can see how you and Hyun act when you're both together. I mean, it's not exactly manager and member only relationship. I can see that both of you have feelings for each other.
YongHwa: No... we don't. I mean... at least she doesn't... right?
JongHyun: How would you know? You are not her... right?
YongHwa fell silent after that. JongHyun was right. YongHwa thought to himself, "Yes... how would I know if she has feelings for me? Only her heart does..." In the midst of all this, the lift arrives and they both rush into it, punching the ground floor button, while the lift door slowly closes.
[On the streets]
JongHyun: Where could she possibly go? She's not anywhere around here. Man...
YongHwa: Okay... let's think. SeoHyun is not the type of girl who would take a taxi. She is too thrifty to be doing that. So, to disappear so quickly... only the bus. Go find the nearest bus stop. She must have walked there.
JongHyun: Bus stop? I am not sure but I think it is this corner. I don't take bus rides you know...
[At the bus stop]
As they are about to reach the bus stop, YongHwa and JongHyun got there just in time to see SeoHyun about to board the green bus. She was clad in only a long woolly dress and black leggings. Upon seeing this, YongHwa and JongHyun started running towards the bus, while screaming for SeoHyun. SeoHyun didn't notice them and continued to board the bus. It was too late for them to board the bus because when they reached there, the bus was already moving like 50 metres away.
YongHwa: ARGH! WE MISSED IT!
JongHyun: *quick minded* Hyung, see. The bus stops at Muchangpo Beach. Do you think Hyun like beaches?
YongHwa: Don't all girls do? Well, fine, I hope she does. Let's just go there.
JongHyun: Okay. Sit there then. *points at the bus stop*
YongHwa: Dude... with all due respect, we have no time to wait for a damn bus. TAKE THE CAB!
JongHyun: Oh right... wait a moment. I will flag one down. *waving his arms to stop a taxi*
They went into the cab and told the driver, "Muchangpo Beach please."
Taxi driver: Oh... you two going to witness the sea splitting together too? *asking them politely*
JongHyun: Sea splitting? It splits today?
Taxi driver: Yeah... don't you guys know?
JongHyun: Nope... I know it splits, but I don't know it is today.
Taxi driver: That's weird. I drove a few people to that beach already today. There really are so many people there. Tourists especially.
JongHyun: *talking to Yong* Oh no... the amount of people will make it harder for us to find her.
YongHwa: It doesn't matter. What's important is that we DO find her.
Although YongHwa is being optimistic about finding SeoHyun in a sea of people, deep down he is worried like hell. No words can explain his confusion and worry now about SeoHyun. Why is she acting like this all of a sudden? Is she safe now? Will she be okay? YongHwa does not know any of that. All he knows is that he can't lose her now...
