The Christmas weekend was coming closer and snow dressed the leafless trees.

Jinyoung was on his way home after he had dropped Chan and Felix off at his parents place so that he could get some present shopping done.

His phone went off in his pocket as he reached his car. "Park Jinyoung."

"You have to help me! They are coming."

It took a few moments for him to register why the voice was so familiar. "Manseok?"

"Yes it's me! But they are coming you have to help me."

"Where are you?"

"At the docks were you caught me."

"Who are coming for you?" He got no response and it sounded like the phone crashed to the ground. "Manseok?!"

"Shit!" He threw open his car door and revved the engine before stomping on the gas.

He dialled a number and as the person answered he quickly responded. "Mark! Get Yugyeom and go to the docks."

"Why?"

"Manseok."

Mark ended the call and Jinyoung made a quick turn to the left.

The docks were quiet and empty. Jinyoung sneaked forward with his gun drawn. The wind picked up a little and the waves hit the pier where the old boat still.

Footprints in the newly fallen snow led to one of the warehouses and it looked like something had been dragged along the path of steps.

His steps echoed through the empty warehouse as he walked further into it. The only light came from the flashlight on his phone.

A blue container stood to his left and as he walked closer to it he saw a pool of something deep.

Fast steps were breaking the silence as Yugyeom and Mark sprinted through the warehouse. They stopped as they reached Jinyoung.

They rounded the corner and saw Manseok. "Fuck," Jinyoung breathed out.

Manseok sat with his back against the container and his head hanging down towards his chest. Blood was covering his stomach area as well as his hands and arms.

"What now?" Yugyeom asked.

Jinyoung crouched down and looked at the ground. Lines of blood was drawn on the pavement floor, he cocked his head and studied it closer. "It looks like an address."

He fished his phone out of his pocket and searched for the street name. A few hits came and he scrolled through them.

One stood out the most, and that was a port a few miles south of Seoul.

"What is it hyung?" Yugyeom asked.

"Its an address to a port south of here. I don't know what it means but we should probably head there."

"I think that it would be best if we stayed back. It would be better if you and Jaebeom could go," Mark told him.

"If you say so." Jinyoung threw his car keys to Yugyeom before dialling Jaebeom's number.

"But what about these letters Jinyoung?" Mark asked.

"B.H.S?"

Jaebeom was driving out of Seoul and he stole a glance at the person that sat in the passengers seat beside him. "Do you have any idea about what we're gonna find?"

Jinyoung looked over at him. "No, but I think that its something related to this whole situation and it was not just the address that he wrote."

"Okay, what else?"
