SOMETHING THE KEEPS US TOGETHER? -PROMISE

14/2/2021.

Seoul international airport.

The Staff who was supposed to go with Hanguk was waiting for him .

It's been 30 minutes already and the boy still didn't show up.

'Final checking for the passengers for Vegas will be closed within five minutes, we request passengers to hurry up. Thank you'

She heard the announcement.

She had already called Hanguk 3 times but he hadn't answered her.

She calls manager to inform that Hanguk was still not there.

༺༻

The manager received the call, he was worried about the boy.

Hanguk was his most trusted artist. He would always be there on time.

He too called Hanguk many times only to here the person he had called is unavailable.

He then called the driver who was supposed to pick him up in the morning.

' the person you've called is currently unavailable please call again later'. Manager slammed his fist on the table. He was angry, he can't loose a boy like this. What will he answer to his parents, to his fans?

"Call Mr. Bang" Manager Park said to his assistant.

Bang Sihyuk, the owner of the building and the company arrived there within few minutes.

" Mr Bang, Hanguk is missing " Park Sejin says, his head hung in shame.

Sihyuk takes a deep breath.

"Let's go to the driver's house" He says.

Both of them rush outside towards their car and quickly made their way towards the drivers home.

Sihyuk knocks the door, no answer.

Sejin walks around the garden to see if there's another way to get in there. He sees the window broken. He quickly gets inside the house.

He was shocked to see the driver laying unconscious on the ground. He runs to the door opening it for Sihyuk to come in.

They both help the male to regain consciousness.

Once the driver woke up he was strateled to see two gaint men in front of him .

He screamed in fear making the other two flinch.

"Stop screaming" Sihyuk shouted at the driver.

The driver snapped and cupped his own face. He looked through his hands and legs. "I'm alive... I'm alive" He should, somewhat happy.

The other two looked at him in a questioning way.

" What happened here? " Sejin says looking at the glass scattered all over the ground.

The driver trembels in fear.

"Yesterday..night.. There... Someone had come here.... She tried to kill me.... I'm not dead yet... What... What if she comes again" The man cried scared for his life.

Sejin decides to call the Cops. This is definitely planned, they had kidnapped Hanguk.

Sejin walks over the table to see a envelope. He looks into it to find a check. Nearly 5000$ and a note.

'I'm sorry Mr. Lim, I had to borrow your car, I mean steal your car. Don't worry I've left a check for you. You can buy a new one. And yeah sorry for hitting you too hard, I hope you'll be fine'.

He read the letter loudly.

Police came there within a hour and started their investigation. They asked questions to all of them.

"Can we track his number? " Sihyuk asked the police.

" Yes we can" The officer nods. "But we have to go to the station first" He says.

The news of Hanguk being kidnapped had spread thought the Seoul like a wild fire. Many people were protesting in front of the building saying them to bring him back.

Hanguk's parents got the news too. They were worried about him

. His mother started crying. Jihyun, who had just left Seoul and had reached Busan felt bad and regretted coming back to Busan.

The local trains didn't run everyday due to pandemic. If his parents had to come to Seoul they had to wait for two days.

The officers checked the boys current location only to find it in North Korea. They just stared at the screen with wide eyes.

"What the hell! Which bastard took him there " Sejin shouted.

"Sir.. It's saying Australia now" The other cop says.

" I think the person who had kidnapped him has hacked his phone " One of them says .

" Don't worry Mr. Bang, well definitely find him" The officer says sincerely.

༺༻

Sun received the news too.

He was heart broken. He wanted to go back to Korea right now. F*ck the interview, Hanguk was more important.

But sady the next flight was after 2 days. He kept praying to the God for Hanguk to be fine. He was like a brother to him. Small innocent and sensitive.

Physically he might not be hurt. But emotionally Hanguk was too sensitive, too sensitive for this world.

"Hanguk we have promised to stay together. I know you'll never break your promise".
