into thin air. Pluto's usual spot by her side was also empty, the silence a deafening reminder that something was amiss.

A sense of unease settled in the pit of Seokmin's stomach as he quickly reached for his phone and dialed Mingyu's number.

The urgency in his voice was palpable as he informed Mingyu of Areum's disappearance. Together, they launched a frantic search, scouring every inch of the resort, but Areum seemed to have vanished into the morning mist.

Mingyu appeared beside him, his face flushed and his breathing labored from the search. He shook his head, the gesture a grim confirmation that Areum was nowhere to be found.

Seokmin's mind was racing, his thoughts spiraling into a vortex of worry and fear. But then, like a bolt of lightning, a realization struck him.

"Where is Hwayoung's wedding taking place?" he asked, his voice low and urgent, his eyes locking onto Mingyu's with a sense of foreboding.
