Girl.
It's around 12 and he is walking in the garden, a less popular one of the Palace, where he doesn't risk to meet anyone unwanted, like consorts and the sort.
Since the park is close to the servants area, the only people one could meet is some eunuch on break or walking through.
That morning though, to his surprise, he sees a girl sat there, eating.
She is clearly not a palace maid, but she is wearing a uniform he doesn't see around, thus he assumes she must be an employee of other kind.
It surely intrigues him, but before he could come up with a pick up line, she leaves her tray to the eunuch, who was eating together with her, and she starts to walk away.
He follows her, without being noticed, until the building she gets into. It seems to confirm she is an employee, being it the archive.
He walks inside the building after some moments and starts to look for her.
He finds the girl in the office, finishing to fill up a box with documents to archive. He approaches and when she is done placing the documents, he takes the box. "It looks heavy, let me help you."
The girl looks at him, like petrified, but he is used to this kind of behaviour by now. Everyone is caught surprised to be in front of the Prince.
He motions her to come and brings the box where the shelves for the documents are. He leaves the box on the floor and looks at the girl, still acting all scaredy.
He approaches her a little, leaning his shoulder against the shelves and crossing his arms on his chest. "What is your name?"
Less than a second later, more precise than a swiss clock...
"May I be of service to you, mama?" asks Ryuke, by the entrance or the room, as if he had some 6th sense to know where to come bother.
He gets on a more composed position and looks at the eunuch. "I was just taking a look at how things were going around here."
"Were you satisfied by what you witnessed, mama?"
He nods, not restraining the annoyance. "As a matter of fact, I was leaving." He sends another glance at the girl and walks away.

JinGoo.
Eventually, his men contact him regarding the plate number of Jin's car. They tell him it belongs to a guy called 'Zhang XingYi' - So very funny Jin -_-
They also give him the address of the studio flat where he is supposed to be living.
YiXing drives to that place right away. It's in a very ugly part of the city, a boulevard for poor people and full of criminality. "Jesus Christ, an ex drug addict living among drug dealers..." he mutters while walking towards the exact building. He got there by taxi, they can dream he'll let some thief lay his hands on his precious car.
He walks inside, with even too many eyes on him, but doesn't worry and proceeds to the elevator. "You best not get blocked with me inside", he grumbles and presses the button for.tjr 8th floor.
Thankfully he doesn't get stuck inside and proceeds to the apartment number. He looks around at both sides and just breaks the lock of the door..it's cheap garbage, anyway.
The inside of the one-room apartment is totally dark and there is a dreadful stench, alcohol and smoke, literally soaking the whole place. "Aish, disgusting..." He takes a deep breath and walks inside. Reaching the window is a big challenge, since there is hardly an inch of floor that isn't covered won't rubbish.
He opens all the windows of the room, making some light and letting some air in. Unless Jin is buried under the trash, he is not in there.
He starts to search the house for some clues it's really his brother and not a human lookalike and after some time, he finds the definitive proof: two family portraits, one of the old Zhou family with also Ri, Jin's mother and the grandparents, and the other with the future family, with also QinShi and Song's children. Jin kept those with him all the time, after they were forced to leave Zhou manor.
Lay takes those pictures and sits down on the bed. There are bottles even on it, everywhere.
He decides to remain there and wait for Jin to show up. And eventually it happens, when it's evening. He had to wait for hours.
At first Jin gets scared to find someone in his place and tries to escape, fearing it's the loan shark, but YiXing catches him even before he could reach the stairs or elevator, then just drags him back inside.
Jin doesn't look good, but he is not surprised. He is clearly alcoholic and he fears even worse. "Is it just alcohol? Are you back into drugs?"
"A-aniyo", replies the other, with a trembling voice.
Lay grabs his arm and lifts his sleeves to check his veins, to see if there are needle marks, but none. He is only half relieved though, since there are other type of drugs too.
He tries to speak to Jin, he asks him all his questions, but the other is clearly not in the state to give answers.
Since the bathroom of that sh*t place doesn't even have hot water and there is nothing decent and clean Jin could wear, he decides to take him to a hotel and leave him to stay there for now.
After a proper shower, combing his hair and shaving his face, he finally returns to look like an actual guy.

CR.
As he talked to her on the phone, Lay managed to set a meeting with Christophei again.
This time she has less conditions, since the document sent by the Emperor is still viable and will continue to be until they leave Earth.
She just lets them come to Riddle manor in Seoul.
He knows the location from Francis's party some weeks before, thus he drives them there without difficulties.

ParWHATTHEF***??
Naturally he too is actively looking for LaNi. On a side, he can guess where Christoph might be hiding him, but fears that storming there will make her escape to Heinmenhos with the boy and that would probably mean never being able to see LaNi again.
Like every good rich man of Asia, everyone knows that Lay has his own men to help with matters like tracking people, and of course he contacted everyone he can reach in order to help him to approach LaNi without troubles. Or even to just understand why Christoph is keeping him away, not even allowing him to contact others. Why else wouldn't LaNi write? At least to his friends, Kun and Kori, if he doesn't want to be in touch with the Avatars. He would understand why.
While waiting for his 'thugs' to update him with any news, he decides to interrogate the people who know him, in case someone heard from LaNi but 'forgot' to warn others.
Your character is the person he comes across first.

GW2.
"HoSeok-ah?" It's around 4 pm and his son woke up, seen that the bed is empty and with messed sheets. Nothing out of the ordinary, Boo usually sleeps from 6 am to 2 or 3 pm at most. Even if he can't go out or do much during the rest of the day, he can't sleep whole sunlight time.
Lay looks for him all over the house and finally goes to check in his office. "HoSeok? Are you there?" He opens the door and finds his son standing right in front of him, in the most suspicious pose ever possible.
He notices that the chair by the desk is upside down and that the laptop is on, even if closed.
"What did you do...?" He rolls his eyes, but the truth is that he couldn't get angry at him for real, unless he did something huge.
"Nothing!" HoSeok tries to 'hide' the laptop standing right in front of it.
Was he watching p0rn? - Lay wonders. His most natural thought. XD He approaches the computer and opens it again, but when the screen turns on, there is no p0rn. A videogame screen, character selection with only that Charr. "You were playing a videogame?" He is caught off guard, wondering why Boo thought it was something to hide at all.
"Mianhamnida..." HoSeok looks down. "I got curious... it looked nice..." he mumbles.
Lay picks the chair up and sits in front of the laptop. It's the free version, so there is just one free slot beside the one with Mr Rugard.
He logs in the character and takes a look. He even checks the credit card movements from his phone, but nop, Boo didn't actually buy a single thing in the game.
The charr Is level 7 with all the starter stuff and the items that dropped from the mobs. "You like.this?" He looks at Boo, who doesn't answer.
Lay makes some steps around and swings the greatsword, not entirely convinced if it's a good idea to let him play a game like that. But since he literally never asks for anything and started that game by himself... "HoSeok-ah... it's fine if you like it. You can play it. But... are you sure you will be ok? Games like these are all about fighting..." That's the only worry he has: that the game could cause him PTSD attacks.
"It wasn't scary so far..."
"Nothing of it is real, anyway. You know that? Nobody gets hurt, inside a game. Now... do show it to me, here..." He stands up and leaves the seat for Boo. "Let's upgrade to full account if you like it." He points at the part of the screen.
After buying the expansions, HoSeok plays for a while, with YiXing looking at him. Seeing him having fun with videogames makes him feel strangely happy. Also for the way he plays it. He finds it all so cute, if it's his son to do it.
