Chapter Three
"How did you ended up losing your daughter?" The police in charge asked Baekhyun for the nth time but the opposing one wasn't answering. He wasn't even listening to him. "Sir, if you're not gonna cooperate with us, we won't be able to help you in finding your lost daughter. I still have pile of works to do but my sergeant asked me to prioritize this case because of your husband," he continued, growing impatient of the fidgeting person in front of him. "Let me ask you again, how did you ended up losing your daughter?"
"Baekhyun hyung. . ."
Baekhyun averted his lost gaze upon hearing one familiar voice. He quickly rose from his seat and hugged the person whom he can depend with right now. "S-Sehun!" He cries. "I lost Eunji. W-we lost Eunji," he sobbed on his chest.
Sehun nodded at the officer and told him that he's the one doing the talk while the officer will write the informations Baekhyun will tell him. "Hush now," he cooed, rubbing his hand on Baekhyun's back. "What happened? Where did Chanyeol hyung went?"
The first thing Chanyeol did upon realizing the fact that his daughter has gone missing was to call his brother abruptly. Good thing Sehun was quick to answer the call and Chanyeol told him to come to the nearest police station on the area of Seoul Academy while the polices will take Baekhyun to their head quarters to report the incident happened. Chanyeol decided to come with the other polices to roam around the vicinity areas near Seoul Academy hoping that the kidnapper was still around.
"W-we lost Eunji," he started, Sehun held his hand to prevent it from shaking so bad. "W-we were having a meeting with the principal of Seoul Academy when Chanhee came in and told us that Eunji's missing. B-Baekhee said that they went away to play with their friends when a certain civilian told them to play first and he will look after Eunji," he squinted his eyes and took the bottle of water Sehun gave to him.
"Did Baekhee and Chanhee told you how does the suspect looks like?" Sehun asked, looking at the report the police is doing right now. He was rereading everything he's typing, taking care that he will put all the details Baekhyun was saying.
"T-they just said the kidnapper is a man on his late 20s. That's all," he gripped his hair in frustration. "I should've not left Eunji with them. This is all my fault!"
Sehun took a hold of Baekhyun's hands and excused themselves to the officer, taking the older one outside the head quarters to breathe some fresh air. They sat on the bench facing the bay and Baekhyun continued mumbling incoherent words under his breath. Sehun opted to stay silent while Baekhyun was still going hysteric upon losing their daughter.
"Sehun. . ." Baekhyun called.
"Hmm?" The younger one hummed, he saw how Baekhyun's eyes turned blood shot right now due to the endless crying he's doing.
"A-am I a careless father?" Baekhyun started crying again. "Am I a bad father?"
Sehun shook his head and pulled Baekhyun's head in order to lean on his broad chest. "Don't ever think of that. You're a wonderful father, Baekhyun hyung. You've raised Baekhee and Chanheeㅡ"
"ㅡif I became a good father to them, then why is this thing happening to us?"
"It's not intended, Baekhyun hyung. It didn't happened because you wanted it to happen. Do not blame yourself. We will find Eunji soon," Sehun consoled Baekhyun by saying different things that can uplift the sad soul beside him.
"But what if we won't be able to find Eunji again? Sehun, I don't know how I will beㅡ"
"ㅡno, no. Don't think of that. We will do everything to find her. I know Chanyeol hyung will do everything he can just to find your daughter. For now, you have to rest already. Remember that your wounds weren't completely healed yet? You have to compose yourself again. You will be needing your outmost strength."
"I don't think I can sleep sound tonight knowing that Eunji's missing. No. No. I don't deserve a decent sleep thinking that my daughter may be in harmful hands right now."
Sehun just shrugged and continued listening to Baekhyun's negative thoughts. When the midget got tired of muttering his pessimistic thoughts, he closed his eyelids and leaned on Sehun's chest. Not long ago, Sehun felt how Baekhyun's hug to his waist started to loosen. Must be Baekhyun falling asleep and when he looked at him, he saw his peaceful sleeping face.
"You've had enough today. I hope you can rest for a while," he kissed his forehead and brought Baekhyun inside his car. When he assured that Baekhyun won't wake up anytime soon, he decided to come back again to the head quarters.
"Just in time, Mr. Park," the officer in charged sat again when he saw Sehun heading towards his place, when he comfortably sat in front of him, he showed him the report he made. "I already finished the report and it will be filed on the next ten hours if the victim Park Eunji won't show up by that time. I'll be the one handling this case and I will make sure that I'll always update the parents of the victim from time to time."
Sehun nodded after finishing reading the said report. "Thank you so much, officer. We will keep in contact with you, too. I have to go home, do you still need Baekhyun hyung here or I can take him with me already?"
The officer shook his head and waved his hand in dismissal. "He needs rest."
"Yeah. We'll be going then."
The moment Sehun came inside his car, he saw how Baekhyun's tear fell from his eyes. Baekhyun's still sleeping but his tears haven't stopped yet and it pained Sehun seeing Baekhyun cry while sleeping.
"Hello?"
"Sehunnie. . ."
How hard it is for Sehun to witness the two's sadness upon losing their daughter and he just suddenly felt that he already lost interest of coming back to the office. He just wanted to be with Baekhyun and console him, tell him that it was not his fault, tell him that he's been a great dad to Baekhee, Chanhee, and Eunji. He just wanted to be on his side and uplift him.
"We already filed a report. They said they will take legal actions after ten hours if Eunji won't be found yet," he looked away when Baekhyun stirred up. Good thing he didn't woke up. "Where were you?"
"I'm at the airport right now."
"What?!" He screamed. "Wait! What are you doing there?"
"Remember Jessica?"
"Jessica?" He repeated, trying to remember that name since it's familiar to him. "Oh. Okay. Your business partner before. What gives?"
"She. . ." Chanyeol stopped for the meantime when he heard his flight number being called. "She told me that she saw the kidnapper a while ago, taking Eunji with him at the airport."
"What?! What made you believe in her words? Hyung! You know how cruel and evil Jessica can be! Don't believeㅡ"
"ㅡbut Sehun. . ." Chanyeol's voice felt so tired and sad. "She took a picture of them. He's holding Eunji. I can't be wrong. That's my own blood and flesh."
"Okay, okay," Sehun rubbed his temples. "But how about Baekhyun hyung? How am I going to explain this to him?"
"For the mean time, please take care of my family first, Sehunnie."
"Hyung! Whatㅡ" But the line went dead already. "ㅡdamn it!" He took a tight grip on the steering wheel due to the building frustration on him. Aside from the fact that Chanyeol hasn't told him where he's going, Sehun don't know how will he start explaining this thing to Baekhyun. And what?! Chanyeol just asked him to take care of his own family first!
Sehun was pulled out of his frustrations when he saw Luhan's name on the caller ID showed on his phone, taking a breather, he pressed the answer button and calmed himself. "Hey. . ." Now, he felt like the tiredness on Chanyeol's voice were passed onto him.
"Sehun, where are you? Xun and I were here in your office."
"Lu, I. . ." He stopped when Baekhyun woke up and called his name.
"Y-you were with Baekhyun?" The thing is, Luhan is still jealous of Baekhyun. He knows he can't remove Baekhyun out of his husband's system so it's a good thing when Chanyeol decided to buy another house to stay with his family. Though Luhan is still friends with Baekhyun, the growing jealousy he has against Baekhyun and his husband is still there. But Sehun never failed on proving Luhan that there's nothing to be jealous because he's already head over heels to Luhan and his feelings for Baekhyun were already gone out of his system.
Sehun decided to went out of his car first, he doesn't want to add on Baekhyun's frustrations right now. "Lu, it's not what you're thinking."
"Then why are you with him during office hours?"
"Lu. . . Eunji's missing."
"W-what?!" Luhan shouted and that made Xun worry so he cooed his son and told him to continue writing his own name on his Dad's papers. "W-what happened? H-how come?"
"It's a long story, Lu. I'll see you at Chanyeol hyung's house. Make sure you'll bring Kyungsoo hyung with you, okay? We badly need him right now. Do whatever you can do just to make him step inside Chanyeol hyung's house once again. Understand?"
"O-okay. Drive safely, Sehun."
"I will."
Luhan, on the other hand, don't know what to do first. Will he call Kyungsoo first or will he tell his son that they're leaving soon? Nonetheless, Luhan chose to do the first thing and it took Kyungsoo couple of rings before answering Luhan's call.
"Luhan? What made you call?"
"Uhm, Kyungsoo? Could you please come here at Seoul right now?" Luhan asked, looking at Xun carefully because his son is playing with Sehun's pencils. "It's an emergency."
"Oh. Okay," Kyungsoo paused for a while and called his assistant saying that he will be gone for the time being first. When she nodded, Kyungsoo held his phone on his ear once again. "Hello, Luhan? I'm on my way right now. I'll be there in two hours, I think. What happened?"
"I don't know yet but Sehun said Eunji's missing."
"WHAT?!"
"Argh!"
Kyungsoo apologized for shouting while on call. "How did that happened?!"
"I don't know. I don't know," Luhan started walking back and forth while massaging his temples. "I'm going home right now to meet Sehun at Chanyeol's house. I had to call you first because it's Sehun's favor to me."
"Oh. Okay. I'll try to call Chanyeol then. See you there."

"Baekhyun hyung. . ." Sehun called the lifeless Baekhyun walking inside the whole mansion. Baekhyun didn't turned away but stopped, so Sehun continued. "Go get some rest first. I'll wake you up later. We will talk."
"About what?" He asked, his shoulders fell down upon realizing that Eunji is still missing. "If it's not about Eunji then don't wake me up."
"It's about Chanyeol hyung," Sehun said firmly. But Baekhyun stayed unbothered. He continued walking to their room and slammed the door shut alarming Baekhee and Chanhee who's staying to the room adjacent to Chanyeol and Baekhyun's room.
"U-uncle Sehun!" They both said and ran downstairs.
"I-it's my fault! If only if I didn't picked a fight with Hayeol then there's no need to bring Eunji in our school! I'm the one to be blamed here!" Baekhee exclaimed, still hugging Sehun's waist and crying on him. "Uncle! Tell me! It's my fault."
"No, no. It's no one's fault," Sehun instructed Chanhee to get some water first for his sister. Sehun took Baekhee inside his arms and caressed her black long hair while humming a lullaby to her. "You should rest, too. Remember it's not your fault nor your Dad's fault."
"B-but. . ."
"Hushed. Everything will be fine soon," Sehun hoped. He hoped it will really be fine knowing that Chanyeol's away from them right now.
