A week passed by ever since Evan had talked to Evelyn through messages that very day. Days have been going by and there is no progress for Evan to acknowledge. They have been both busy with their own life. Evan has been giving his best to manage his life, work, and his search. Tho being an Idol he has been facing difficulties in continuing his task but he has been doing his best as much as he can.
Since his company is preparing to launch the upcoming song. He has been quietly involved in his works and recordings. Even Shane is preparing for his own. He is just as much busy as Evan is and he had been a lot of support to Evan as he could get from his friend and brother. And it has been weeks since Evan has been going around that street where he often visited.
So today he decided to take a walk around the place so that he could freshen up as well as to conduct his search which has been on stop due to his work. Shane to tagged along so that he could freshen up too.
"Are you sure?" Evan asked glancing at the boy following him. " Yea. I swear that girl just kept staring at me. And it's creepy." Shane replies making a disgusted face. "Yah!! Maybe she thought you are Shane, which you are." He retorts back annoyed over his childish friend behavior. "But I am covered. No way she can know it's me, The 'SHANE'." He replies exclaiming with his hand raised.
Evan signs shaking his head no-fade up off with his childish behavior. " I am sure she thought you were some crazy dude then. Why would any women eye you if not for that reason." He replied mocking Shane while Shane huffs out air with his eyes wide and mouth open. "Yah!! YOU!" Shane yells pointing his index finger at him making Evan laugh. "HAHAHAHA I knew it. You are a creepy man. No worries~ I won't leave you tho for that reason... ever." Evan says patting Shane's back while trying to control his laugh which has been betraying him. But upon seeing Shane's gaze darkening over him, he coughs clearing his throat and steps back maintaining a safe distance between them.
"Did you just called me CREEPY?! You are gonna be dead meat, Evan." Shane says scoffing and runs towards Evan who had run away knowing what Shane's deadly glare meant for. Shane runs after Evan who is few meters away from him. They keep running after each other. They come across a different street which was new for them as it was their first visit there. They both stop on their feet and scan around.
"Where are we?" Evan asks taking in the view of the unknown area in front of his eyes. "I don't know," Shane replies doing the same. "And for your information, this is a place ok. Not I don't know." Evan says back still mocking him. Shane scoffs smacking his head and kicking his butt. "Yah! Are you serious? Did you just hit me?" Evan says now glaring while Shane just tucks his tongue out teasing him.
"Serves better asshole. I see you are in good mood today. Are we not going to search for her?" Shane questions which left Evan silent and serious as if he was in deep thoughts. Shane waves his hand to and fro in front of his face to have no response so Shane shakes Evan to and fro making him flinch. "Where are you heading to in your thoughts?" Shane asks receiving an exhausted sign from Evan.
"Nothing. I was just thinking of her." Shane nods his head. "But Evan? What is this place? I have never been here." Shane says now looking around seeing tall buildings around inhabited by people with a busy alleyway filled with people shopping and walking around.
"Same here. I wonder how I never came across this place tho. We have been staying here for almost 3 years." Shane nods his head agreeing with Evan. "Shall we take a walk around? This place seems nice." Shane questions receiving a nod from Evan.
They have been walking around for half an hour through the streets among the people. As they were walking around Shane's eye falls on the crowd at the distance. Shane nudges Evan gaining his attention. Then he points out towards the crowd with his eyes receiving a frown in return from Evan.
"What is going on?" Evan question glancing shortly at Shane before adjusting his gaze towards the crowd which was increasing slowly. Shane shrugs off at his question and says " Shall we check it out then?" Evan nods approving the idea and heading towards the crowd. They stand among the people in the crowd but couldn't get a better view to understand the situation and fuss create in front of them. They push themselves further inside the crowd making their way to the center.
As they reach the front their eyes fall upon two boys fighting and arguing with each other. There were few people who were trying to keep they apart to prevent them from attacking each other. Most of the people in the crowd were bad mouthing them for being reckless and destroying their peace instead of separating those two young guys fighting aggressively. they stepped further helping the people control them. Soon they were able to stop them from fighting and sending them to their own path with a warning of handing them to the police station upon finding them fighting again.
As they were gone the road went noisy with people signing and leaving for their own work and some even cursing. Evan then analyzed the crowd leaving one by one leaving the road empty with them and few people passing by. That was when his eye falls on someone who was walking away in the crowd. Someone who he had been searching for desperately.
She... Evelyn? I-Is that her?
He questions himself as his legs automatically function itself moving to the direction he saw her. His sudden movement attracted Shane's attention. Shane observed Evan in silence to find him walking over to a certain direction. Evan was sure this time that it was not his mere imagination but he actually saw her. He increased his speed running to the junction seeing her turning over another street.
NO, I can't lose her? Not again. I need to find her.
He chants again and again still running after her so that he could find her. Shane who was started with Evan's sudden change started running after him without understanding what was happening and what he himself was doing. Evan turns around the corner of the junction to find the street with no sight of her. He aimlessly wanders around yelling her name with the hope of hearing her reply or with the hope of having her in front of him.
He turns around and looks for her but he found nothing but himself failing again. And he was disappointed yet again at his failure that he brought upon himself. But one thing was sure - he believed that it was her. Evelyn.
I will find you very soon.... Evelyn.
Just wait a little more
