"What the! WHO ON EARTH DID THIS?!" Yi growled from the comfort room.
Eun and Chan ran towards the living room to where the others are and find their places to sit on and act as if nothing's happened.
Yi came thumping and stopped in front of them.
"WHO DID THIS?!" He groaned as he held up his flipflops which were covered with jellies.
"You don't have to ask," Xyler answered, eyes on his phone. "It's always been Eun and Chan, like the whole time."
The two exchanged glances before they looked at Yi who's already on his beast mode. He lifted a fist in the air and smacked the two bubble heads.
"Everything always reaches the dangerous awesome level of stupidity whenever the both of you are together!" Yi muttered, trying to keep his tone down.
The two looked at him in horror as the flower boy, Eun, raised his two slender fingers to make peace with their vicious hyung.
"Cut it out already!" Sunho exclaimed. "We still have to meet the managers later at eight, so would you mind?"
He pointed the bathroom as he eyed his children, signaling them to take their baths.
"On it!" Cheon raised a thumb up and immediately jumped down the sofa. He ran inside his room and went back with a towel on his shoulder.
"I'll be next!" Xyler shouted.
"I'm next after next," Luhan waved.
"I'm next after next after next," Zen intoned with his usually sheepish aura.
Meanwhile, back in the other six members' dorm namely: Seiji Oh, Jongmin Kim, Chanseol Park, Jungmyeon Kim, Taesoo Do, and Eunji Byun, Seiji was left in the living room looking for the hair drier.
"Soo hyung?!" He called but no one answered.
Taesoo usually is the one who keep things in place. He's very particular with arrangements, so the poor Seiji had to open all the drawers in the living room but find nothing.
"Aish! Where the hell was that—oh!" He gasped when something fell into his foot—a crumpled paper.
He stared at it for a split second and was about to pick it up when Soo tapped his shoulder.
"Here. You're looking for this, I suppose?" He said in monotone, handing Seiji the hair drier.
"Oh! Thanks, hyung."
"You left it in the comfort room, unplugged! Just set the dorm on fire if you want us all dead."
Seiji grinned in embarrassment as he took the hair drier from his demonic hyung.
"I really don't know what will happen to all of you if Xyler hyung, Yohanne hyung, and I are gone!" Soo hissed before turning against his heel.
"Yieh! I love you, Soo hyung!" Seiji moaned acting all mushy as he's the youngest among the twelve members and to quench his hyung's anger tho he's mad almost all the time.
"Done!" Eun and Chan came running from their room and immediately sat on the sofa.
They share the same room. Most probably, they have the messiest room among all of them.
"Geez! Grow up you guys," Min hissed.
"But I did. Eun didn't," Chan cracked.
"I'm still not finished growing yet!" Eun countered, pooching his lips out.
Him, being only 5'9, looks more like one of the youngest in the group next to Xyler, Soo, Jongmin who's commonly known as Sunho, and Cheon who only stands 5'8.
"It's still too early for this, really!" Min muttered. "Sunho hyung? How long will you stay inside the bathroom?!"
Min raised a brow when Soo was the one to step outside.
"I thought Sunho-hyung—"
"Yeah," Soo cut him off. "And I was the one to follow him. He must be in his room now."
"No, he's not," Seiji, who shares the same room with Sunho, said as he close their door. "He haven't gotten inside since he left to take a bath."
Min immediately took his phone out and dialed Sunho's number and it rang, somewhere.
"Uhm!" Chan pointed the phone ringing just beside him.
They all stared blankly as Eun took Sunho's phone and slowly answered Soo's call.
"Ne, yeobosaeyo—aww!" He moaned when Soo suddenly appeared behind him and biffed his head off.
"Stop messing around, will you?!"
"Mian! Mian!"
Min sighed. "Maybe he already went straight towards the other dorm?"
"Without getting dressed?" Seiji contradicted.
"Y-yes! Maybe? He should be, otherwise, where can he be?" Min retorted in obvious worries.
A cloud of uncomfortable silence devoured them until Min stood up and walked straight outside.
"He should be there!" Seiji said trying to convince the others and himself, but everyone started fidgeting.
Eun jumped down the sofa and ran to follow Min. Chan and Soo did the same thing, leaving Seiji who's still breaking out of his trance.
"Seiji-ah! What are you still doing there?!"
He batted his eyes when Eun called him outside the door.
"Ahh~ yeah! C-coming!"
"Is Sunho hyung here?" Eun asked the moment he entered the six members' dorm.
"For the last time, no!" Yi answered, his forehead creasing in confusion.
"Good because he left his pho—what?" Sehun stopped at one pace.
"Waeyo?" Zen asked in his usual calm voice.
"He's not in our dorm, hyung," Min replied, trying to tone down.
"Then where?! Didn't he tell anyone where he's gone to?!" Yi groaned.
"If he did then we shouldn't be having this conversation right now."
"Guys, chill!" Xyler, the eldest, stood when the tension between Yi and Min seem to heat up.
Min let out an exasperated sigh. "I'm sorry, hyung. It's just that Sunho hyung ain't the type of person who will just leave without informing any of us. I'm just getting really worried!"
"It's okay," Yi assured. "He's fine. He should be! Maybe he just had an urgent appointment and got no time to tell anyone of us."
They tried settling with the idea until two hours passed and Zen finally broke the silence.
"Do you, guys, still remember what happened to Jaein hyung, Miyu, and you, Xyler hyung?"
All of them looked at Zen in horror who stood straight in front of the window.
"Please, we agreed not to talk about that anymore," Xyler held his head, settling himself on the davenport near the door towards the entrance.
T'was year 2014, said to be the Darkest Year in Korean Pop Industry, when the famous actor Jaein Lee and the famous singer-actress Miyu Lee has been abducted by still unknown group of people.
One of the abducted victims was Xyker. Although he had escaped, the evil-doers left a major wound on his chest which scarred and eccentrically turned to look like an exploded bomb.
Xyler was so traumatized as he saw how they tortured Miyu and Jaein.
The group's objectives remained unidentified up until the present and the two personalities were never found.
Soo nodded and immediately called their managers and for a couple of minutes, they arrived.
"What happened?!" Armando, their manager started off in an overloud voice which echoed throughout the dorm.
"Sunho is missing, hyung," Yohanne answered and Armando's forehead creased.
"How? I thought you guys were just together a while ago?" His face started to crimson in mixed emotions.
"We don't know. He only entered the bathroom and just like that, he vanished," Soo explained.
He heaved a sigh and looked down. Min then came and caress his back.
"Have you done calling him, yes?" Armando asked again and they all nodded.
Seiji paused for a moment when he remembered that crumpled paper he saw a while ago. He's thinking it ain't much of a thing, but his gut is telling him otherwise.
"Maybe it's hyung's letter?" He muttered.
He tried shaking the thought off. Why would Sunho use junk papers anyway and didn't use his phone if ever he wanted to tell them something?
Seiji tried convincing himself about that stupid idea, but something's just telling him to go and look for the trash.
"Excuse me," he excused and immediately went back to their dorm.
"Okay! This is stupid and I know that," he mumbled to himself while searching for it through heaven and hell in the living room.
"Just in case tho," he chuckled. "No one's gonna die if ever I checked it."
He went in front of the drawer and started searching. Approximately five minutes and he stopped.
"There you are!" Chan bawled which took Seiji aback.
"Yah! What was that for?" Seiji whined.
"Nothing! I thought you got missing as well," Chan grinned.
"Whatever, hyung!" Seiji rolled his eyes and was about to walk out when Chan accidentally elbowed his shoulders.
"Damnit!"
Chan bent down and pulled out a crumpled paper from the spaces on the sole of his shoe. Seiji's brows raised when he realized that it's the thing he's looking for.
"Give me that," he gasped, quite positively, and volunteered taking the paper out completely.
He immediately uncrumpled the paper into a wide spread and his shoulders dropped when he read what's written inside.
"What's the matter, Seij?" Chan asked and looked at the paper which made his eyes grew in circles.
"We've got to tell the others!" Chan zoomed out the dorm, leaving Seiji staring blankly into nothingness.
"Hyung," he whispered.
