When I reached home that night, i couldn't sleep. So I sat down, i felt the argue to do something. I decided to blow the dust off my artist skill and draw something.

I sat for about 10 seconds and straight went to work. I knew what i wanted to write. The man of my dreams.

I started drawing, I was impatient and excited. But it took me 2 hours to do everything. Shading and everything. I wanted it perfect. I even painted it. He looked perfect in it.

Just then I got a call from my Friend, Kang taehyun.
He has been my friend for a few years now. He is a investigator. He have solved over 30 mysteries in his 4 years of carrier. It's not simple.

"Heyy terryyy? What's up?"

"Hyunggg, free tonight?"

"Ofcourse!"

"Let's go out. I am free after like 2 weeks."

"Sure, who picks up who?"

"I'll come to your house right away"

Then yeonjun wait for taehyun as he got ready. Within 15 minutes, taehyun was here. Yeonjun invited him in as he wasn't done getting ready.

"You take too much time getting ready" Taehyun rolled his eyes and sat on the bed.

His eyes casually wandered to the drawn picture on top of the desk.

"Oh! You know him?" Taehyun asked in disbelief but calmly.

Yeonjun quickly turned to him shocked.
"You know him!?"

"Ofcourse! How do you know him?"
"How do YOU know him?"

Taehyun signed in defeat and sat on the bed with the drawing.

"He went missing about 5 days ago."

Yeonjun's jaw dropped and his eyes widened in shock. He put his coat down and walked towards taehyun and sat down beside him.

"What you mean, went missing?"

"Hyung, he lives about 4 hours away from here and he went missing after telling his friends and family that he was going to a perticular place"

Taehyun was the one investigating the case. Yeonjun looked away from taehyun to the ground, his brain frozed. It's either he was dead or something is wrong with the entire world. He can't be dead, maybe he wants to live somewhere cause maybe he ran away or something?

"Could i please get the address of where he went the last time?"
"Hyung i don't think i should"
"No! Terry, please...trust me I can help you"

And help himself as well. With a lot of hesitation taehyun gave yeonjun some of the details. Such as the last place he went, the school he studied, his age, his house, his parents information and the place he often visits.

Regardless of his worriness yeonjun still went out with taehyun since he was free after a long time.

They went out for quite some hours and maybe it was around 3:45 am when yeonjun was coming back.

YEONJUN —>

I was walking to my home and since it was already super late i took the short cut. It was a bit dark since no one goes through that place so there was no street lamps or anything. But i still walked with the help of a bit light from the moon. Not much to walk bravely.

It didn't took me 20 seconds to hear sounds behind me after entering the short cut. But i didn't turned around to slowed down or fastened my steps i just walked causally. But i soon started hearing footsteps from soft whispers.

And suddenly I felt the footsteps just behind me. Maybe a foot behind me. I gulped but did not stopped.

"I heard you are coming for me"

A soft voice, the same voice from two nights ago whispered against the back of my neck. I flinched and yelled and turned around stepping back.

No.one was behind me or even far behind me. There was post or Street lamps to hide behind neither there was turns. I took steps back my eyes wandering everywhere.

"I love streets like this"

Someone whispered again behind me and i turned around once again stepping back.

"What the fuck, what the fuck!"

I mumbled under my breath and started running. Maybe 10 more minutes to reach home. I ain't gon stop running.

Just as i ran, i could hear running steps behind me. I almost shit my pant by the time I reached home. I locked the door and drank water and locked every.single windows.

I even locked every door to each room and went upstairs doing the same. I even locked the bathroom. I locked the balcony and closed the curtains. I changed quickly and hopped on the bed covering myself completely in thick blanket.

I turned the AC on and didn't layed down, I sat leaning against the headboard. My eyes wandered every.single corner. When i realised everything is fine, i signed in relief and relaxed my body since it was stiff since i came home.

I gently close my eyes feeling the sleepiness hover over me.

"You think some locks will keep me away from me"

I heard the same voice. This time the whisper echoed the entire room. He can be anywhere. I shot my eyes open and sat up. I was sweating even when the ac was on.

"Fuck...I have to do this"

I get up and grabbed a small backpack. I get a bottle of water and some snacks, in case. I took a spare clothes, in case. The last thing i grabbed was the information taehyun gave me about him. Just as I picked that paper up from the table, the drawing of the him caught my eyes.

I grabbed it as well and ny phone and a spare torch and went out.

3 hours, around 7:45 I reached his home town. It wasn't that huge, but it felt comfortable there. I couldn't help but feel watched when I was on the train. And guess what, it was just me and a mother and child. I didn't know why there weren't much people.

I first walked towards his parents house. I asked about 15 people to reach my destination. I knocked on the door and a young lady opened it.

She looked pale and her eyes were red and had dark circles but she looked absolutely beautiful.

"Ma'am, is this your son?"

I asked showing her the drawing i made. Her eyes lit up finally and a smile tucked at her lips.

"Yes!.....yes..." She said excited but everything vanished away.

"I am investigating where your son is. Could i please know anything about him?"

His mother thought. And thought. And thought.

"Oh! He loves to go somewhere. It's about 45 minutes from here but he goes there every single day around 5:00."

"Where is it?
"That's the problem, he never tells us. He never did."

I nodded, feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

"Could i have a look at his room?"
"Sure..."
