Chapter 2

1 hour had passed now, I was still reading my book and trying to ignore the person sitting next to me. Although he didn't ignore me once, he kept looking into my book. I guess he liked Sherlock Holmes too?

I was lucky enough that I had gotten the seat with the window. The view was pretty nice and calming, it was pretty enough for me to close my book and look out the window looking at the pure beauty of nature.

After a while, I noticed the man next to me was looking out the window too. I decided to make the first move and talk to him. "Hello" I smiled trying not to look like a creepy person. Hopefully that did do the trick, I waited for him to respond. He looked at me and smiled back at me. "Hello" he said in a deep yet soothing voice.

His voice was definitely something. It caught me off guard, I mean he looked good, had a good voice. People like him make me feel like God had favorites. He definitely did. I then looked out the window and looked back at him "the weather seems nice today doesn't it?" In response he just nodded. Not much of a talker huh.

I looked out the window, he didn't say anything on the remaining journey. After a while, we finally reached Daegu station. It wasn't crowded, I stood up to get my stuff. I looked at the person who was sitting next to me and asked him "This is your station too?" I knew he would probably just respond back by nodding but I was wrong, he also stood up, got his stuff and said to me, "Yeah, this is my stop too". His voice was actually so calming that I could've just asked him to keep on talking and I would never get bored.

"Alright"

I didn't know what to say anymore so I just brushed it off. I grabbed my bag and put it on my back and started to walk out. I got off the train and looked around, I was informed that a friend of Jonghan would pick me up at the station so I looked around waiting for him. Just then I saw a young boy, looked like the age of 18 so I walked up to him thinking he might be the friend.

After I reached him, I said "Are you perhaps Ibeom?" Ibeom was Jonghan's friend. He looked at me up and down carefully and said, "Yes, are you Min-ho?" I nodded. "Yes, That is me. I believe you are here to pick me up?" I asked knowing the answer was gonna be yes but I had to make sure.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you" He smiled and said to me. I smiled back and said "It's nice to meet you too". "First we will go to Jonghan's house...." He said in a sad manner. Of course he would be sad.

I mean I would have been sad too if my bet friend had gone missing. I nodded to his statement and let him lead the way. He walked me towards a car, it was a nice car. He was 18 so he was technically allowed to drive so I didn't ask him anything about it.

We both sat in the car, he sat on the driver seat and I asked him "Should I sit in the front or go to the back". I didn't know which seat would be most appropriate for a time like this.

"You can sit in the front." He responded. I sat in the passenger seat and looked at Ibeom. "So, how long have you been friends with Jonghan?" I asked him trying to make small talk while also gathering information about him. "We met around elementary school, he has been my friend since then. We would be always together..." he responded rather quickly.

"I am sorry about it...." I genuinely felt a little sad for him, I have also lost a friend but that is neither here nor there. "Don't worry, I will try my best to find him." I smiled trying to give him some confidence. "You have to find him...." he responded quite demandingly. "I assume you were very close." I couldn't help but notice the sadness on his face. He was demanding, yes, but for the situation he is in right now I think that is the most common response anyone would give. He looked at me once, looked ahead while nodding and started to drive.
