They walked around the neighbourhood, calling out Jisung's name. There was no sign of him.

"What if he's at the park?" Renjun suggested.

Jaemin stopped walking abruptly and the remaining colour on his face drained away. All his mind could think of was Jisung alone at the park. He was only eight.

"Good idea. We'll split up at the park," said Jeno, looking over at the younger male who clung to him.

"OK," he croaked.

As they walked, Jaemin saw something that makes him go cold.

"Jeno!"

He spun around. "What? What's the matter?"

Trembling, the male pointed his hand to the fence at the end of the road.

His whole body was shaking uncontrollably. "It's Jisung's blanket," he whispered.

The older male jogged over and got the blanket in his hands, with Jamin slowly heading over to him. "He uses it as a cape for his dance routines. Isn't it?"

Jaemin nodded. "He uses it to do the tango."

"How cute! I didn't know Jisung was into dancing!" Renjun cooed.

Clenching his fists, Jaemin turned to face him. "Of course you don't. You've been too busy being a suck-up with the twins and stalking The Dynamite."

The shorter sneered. "You haven't been the best friend either."

Jeno wrapped his arm around Jaemin's waist and pulled him closer. "Stop starting arguments, both of you. We need to find Jisung."

Jaemin moved his arm off his waist and they started running to the park.

What did Jeno want to tell me about Jisung? 

The younger male caught up to Jeno and grasped his sleeve. "What did you want to tell me? About Jisung?" he asked.

"Even though Jisung wouldn't be happy if I told you, it's best if you knew."

"Knew what?" 

"He's being bullied," Jeno said before heaving out a sigh.

"...What?" 

My brother's being bullied? Right under my nose?

Renjun had finally caught up. He was too out of breath to speak.

"He's being bullied because of his dancing. He joined a class at school, even though he was the only boy. So now the other boys are calling him a freak and being idiots about." He sighed again. "He told me that he tried to ignore them. He didn't care that they called him names. But lately, they've taken money from him and they've made his friends turn against him too."

Jaemin could feel the tears forming. "I've been such a bad brother! I've been so busy with my problems that I haven't noticed what is happening to Jisung. I shouldn't have made him feel insecure! I-"
