Ming's POV
It's so quiet. The whole house looks empty and quiet.
I realised that I'm too used to his presence. Sometimes I woke up in the morning, I was hoping that when I walked out of my room, he was there, telling me that breakfast was ready.
He never leaves my side for so long since we were young. He is always there where I can see him. Without him by my side, I feel empty like something missing inside me.
I miss him calling me 'P'Ming' in his sweet voice. I miss his cooking. I miss him sitting beside me and listen to me quietly when I was talking.
I miss his smiles and the way his face lights up when he smiles. He always calls himself ugly, but I never once thought of him as ugly. He's not bad looking.
I miss making fun of him because he always believes in everything I said so occasionally I will prank him to see his reaction. Never once he disappointed me, his reaction was so cute that I can't help pinching his cheeks.
I miss the way he was by my side when I was down or upset. He will not ask too much questions, he will just simply stay by my side listen to all my grumblings and rantings.
*sigh* Kit asked me to think carefully before Yo comes back.
But the problem is I don't even know what love feels like. I have never fall in love before so how am I supposed to know whether I am in love with Yo?
I even Googled 'what is love?'. The information told me that if I'm in love with someone, I will feel lonely when he is not around. I will always think about him and he is the first person I will think of whenever I am happy or sad. I will smile when I see him smiles. I will feel satisfied when I have him by my side. I will feel heartache when I see him cry.
I have all those feelings, as what the information stated, for Yo. Is that means I am in love with him??
If yes, then what should I do now? He must have hate me after what I did. Why am I so stupid? I always thought I have those feelings is because he is my little brother. What if deep inside my heart, I didn't treat him as my little brother like what my head thinks?!
Ah... I feel like banging my head against the wall. Why am I so stupid! Why didn't I see it! How can I atone for hurting his feelings? He must be very angry with me right now! Will he forgive me? What should I do now?
Stop fidgeting, Mingkwan! You need to calm down and think. Think...... Oh! Maybe I should call him now. If he answers my call, it means he is not angry with me. Ok, where's my phone?!
I snatch my phone from my bed and dial his number.
"The number you just called is unavailable now. Please try again later...." He switched off his phone!
I stared at my phone for a while and then decided to call his parents' house. I wait patiently for the other party to pick up the phone.
"Hello~" A woman's voice, must be mummy.
"Hello, mummy, I am Ming." Oh! Forget to mention, I call Yo's parents as Daddy and Mummy while Yo calls my parents as Ma and Pa. What to say, we are like a big family.
"Oh! Ming, what a surprise that you call me! Did something happen?" Mummy sounds worried.
"Oh, no! Mummy, nothing happened. I am just looking for Yo."
"Yo? He never came here. Ming, are you sure nothing happens?"
WHAT?! Yo is not at his parents' house! Then where had he been?
"Erm... Mummy, I'm sure nothing happened. Don't worry. I thought.... I heard Yo mentioned that he wants to come and visit Mummy. Erm... maybe I heard it wrongly... Sorry to disturb you, Mummy."
I'm trying to assure Mummy that everything is fine even though I don't believe it myself. How can I believe that everything is fine when Yo is missing for...for more than two weeks?! But I can't make them worried, at least not now. I must try to find Yo myself first before alerting them.
"Ok. But Ming, you must tell Mummy if anything happens, ok?"
"Ok, Mummy. Don't worry. Mummy, I just remembered that I have something urgent going on. I got to go now."
"Ok. Ming, take good care of yourself and thank you for helping Mummy to take care of my Yo." Mummy, don't thank me. I didn't take care of Yo. I lost him. And now I don't even know where he is.
I hang up the phone after saying goodbye to Mummy.
Where is Yo now? Where can he be now? He has no friends to turn to. He has no place to go. Where can he go? He's alone out there. What if something bad happens to him?
The thought of something bad will happens to him makes my blood run cold. What should I do now? I pull my hair in frustration.
Oh, right! Kit! Maybe he went to find Kit. I quickly dial Kit's number.
"Hello!"
"Kit, is Yo with you?" I ask impatiently.
"Yo? He is not with me. Why?" He replied.
"Kit, Yo is missing. He is not at his parents' house. Where can he be? What if... what if something bad happens to him? What should I do now? Kit, I don't even know where to find him. I don't even know where he likes to go, where he will go." I was trembling in fear. The fear of losing him is getting stronger and stronger.
"Ming, calm down. I am coming over with Beam and P'Pha. In the meanwhile, start thinking of the places that both of you usually go. Wait for us, we will be there as fast as we could." Kit hangs up the phone before I have the chance to say anything.
Places... Kit asked me to think of the places we usually go.

Kit's POV
When we arrived at Ming's house, he is like a cat on hot bricks.
"Kit, what should I do now? Should I call the police? He has been missing for so long. Kit, tell me what I should do." This is the first time I see Ming like this. His eyes are red, and he seems like he will burst out in tears any minute.
"Oh! Now you are worried. I remembered you are the one who said he will be at his parents' house. You are the one who said he has no friends and no place to go. Don't you think it's too late to worry now?!" Beam said with sarcasm.
"Beam, please give us a break. Don't you see he is freaking out now? Now is not the time to put the blames on him. All of us here are worried about Wayo. The most important thing for now is to find Wayo, to make sure he is safe." I reprimand Beam.
"Don't worry about Wayo. He is safe, very safe." Beam said casually.
What Beam said, caught all our attention.
"Beam, what do you mean by 'he is safe'? You know where Wayo is? How do you know where Wayo is?" P'Pha ask with a frown.
"Beam, you know where is Yo?! Please...please tell me where he is... Beam, I beg you. Please tell me where he is now." Ming pleads with Beam to get the information of Wayo's whereabouts.
"Sorry, I can't. Wayo doesn't want to see you now. But I can tell you that he is now in somewhere safe. You don't need to worry about his safety and he is also been well taken care of. You will see him again when school starts. This is all I can say." Beam replies.
"He...he doesn't want to see me... He....he doesn't want to see... me..." Ming is like a broken record, he keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again.
*sigh*
"Ming, calm down. I think what Beam means by Wayo doesn't want to see you right now is because he still needs time. And Beam already said that you will see him again when school starts, and school starts in five days. It means you will see him again in five days." I console Ming.
"You better think of what you want to say before you see him again if you don't want to lose him again." Beam advised.
Seeing how worried and anxious Ming is right now, I guess all of us are very clear of how Ming feels for Wayo. I turn and look at P'Pha, he must be very sad right now. I know the feelings very well. It's like you have been sentenced to death without any trial.
By the way, how do Beam knows where Wayo is?
