"She said she likes you hyung" Sehun was video calling Lay, who was out of town with Xiumin for other projects with the production house.

"I'll meet her soon then" Lay laughed, "okay Sehun-ah, I've to go now. Take care of yourself. Send my love to everyone, to your best friend too." "Yes hyung. And send our love to Xi hyung too. Come back soon" Sehun ended the video call.

"Are you sure you two are nothing more than best friends?" Suho came down from his room. "Tell your leader" Suho pulled Sehun's hair playfully.

"Hyung!" Sehun chuckled and released his hair from Suho's hand.

"Make sure you don't get distracted Sehun" Chen said coldly.

Suho rolled his eyes, being the maknae Sehun was pampered by Suho a lot, "he won't okay? And what's with you these days? Why are you acting like a brokenhearted lover?" Suho mocked Chen. "Shut up hyung" Chen threw the cushion at him. "She's my best friend and nothing more, hyung. That's all" Sehun replied and went to Kyungsoo who was preparing breakfast for everyone. Kyungsoo knew Sehun felt bad not about what Chen said him but how he said it. "Don't mind him" Kyungsoo handed the first sandwich to him.

Sehun looked away from Chen and took a bite of the sandwich.

"Where's Chanyeol, Baek and Kai? Are they still sleeping?" Suho took out his phone, "it's 8 am, we have to go for practice at 9am". "Baekhyun hyung and Chan are in Chan's studio, I met them in the morning" Kyungsoo said, "I don't know about Kai, maybe he's in his room". Sehun took the last bite of his sandwich, "he's not in his room, he went outside about two hours ago" Sehun informed Suho. "Two hours ago?!" Suho was surprised because generally the members inform him if they go out for a long time but Kai didn't inform him anything about going out in the morning.

"Good morning everyone" Kai appeared at the door. "Where were you huh?" Suho wasn't furious but curious. "I woke up really early today, everyone was sleeping so I went to the production building's practice room, I'm sorry for not informing you hyung" Kai explained. "What else can you expect from dancing machine Kai?" Sehun laughed. "And why do you look so low?" Suho further enquired. "Ah...no, it's just I'm a bit tired after the practice" Kai faked a smile. "We'll have to go there after few hours only Kai, you could have waited" Chen looked at Kai, he didn't look tired but he looked upset.

Kai nodded and sat beside Sehun in the dining. "What is it?" Sehun whispered to Kai without even looking at him. "What?" Kai gave a questioning look. "You look upset Kim Kai, we aren't dumb" Sehun took a glance at Kai, "we have our concert in a month, I hope you don't face anything before that which might upset you" Sehun continued. Kai sighed and nodded with a smile.

Everyone was having their breakfast and roaming around the house when Suho received a call from their manager.

*On call*

- Suho...

- We'll be leaving soon for the practice.

- Suho, the practice for today is cancelled but you have to be here in half an hour.

- What happened?

- We have something important to discuss about your next concert.

- Alright. I'll be there.

- See you.

- Yeah.

"Guys, our practice is cancelled for today but I have to leave right now" Suho picked up his jacket from the sofa. "Is everything okay?" Kyungsoo asked. "I hope so D.O, they said they need to discuss something about our upcoming concert", Suho replied.

Kai suddenly felt hollow inside, it was noticed by Sehun but Sehun knew well that Kai won't really answer him if he has asked what happened. As soon as Suho left, Kai got up from his seat, "I'll just go in my room" he hurriedly went upstairs in his room, the sound of closing the door was loud enough to heard by the members downstairs. "What's up with him now?" Kyungsoo murmured.

Misun was fast asleep and it was already 8am in the morning. She would have slept an hour more only if her phone didn't rang noisily. She irritatingly turned to the bedside table and grabbed her phone. Her eyes were still closed, she didn't bother to check the caller's name, "hello?" She spoke in a sleepy voice. "Goodness it's 8am and you're sleeping?" A young lady's voice yelled from the other side. Misun hurriedly sat on her bed, "8am!" She grabbed the alarm clock from the table, "shit" she cried hitting the clock on her forehead. "Look Misun, after requesting a lot I have convinced the CEO to interview you for the vacant place that's available in their company" the voice sounded annoyed. "I'm really sorry unnie, I'll be leaving in 15 mins, I'll call you later" Misun hang up.

Misun's sister, Lee Mi na, who's 4 years older than her worked in a magazine company too but no one knew where. When she was given the job, all she said was that she has got a job as an undercover reporter in a well known company, she never told where or in which company. She rarely went to her so called office, most of her work was done from her room only. Every month a large amount of salary was transferred in her bank account.

By nature she's just opposite of Misun, she's outgoing social butterfly and was one of the popular students in her high school. She was sent in an international school in China. After graduation she came back to Korea but the sisters didn't share any close relation. 

Misun was late already so she had to skip her breakfast and leave for the office. "Please I don't want to be late" she murmured while locking the main door of her house.

The living room was really quiet since Suho left. Everyone was busy doing their own job - Sehun with his iPad and earphone, Chen with a magazine and D.O taking a look at his K-drama offers. The room was so silent that a light sound of Chanyeol playing guitar and Baekhyun singing, could be heard.

Everyone was suddenly distracted when Suho entered the house aggressively. He didn't seem to be the same Suho who left about ninety minutes ago.

His face was lacking that cheerful smile, he clenched his fists, struggling to control his anger, he looked around the room. Everyone was looking at Suho, he hardly gets angry. "Where's Jongin?" He asked, his voice was clearly showing how badly he was controlling his anger. Everyone was so deep in their thoughts that it took them two minutes to realize that Suho asked something. "Is everything okay hyung?" Sehun finally dared to ask. "Where. Is. Jongin?" Suho repeated stressing on each word. "He went to his room soon after you left, what's the matter?" Kyungsoo asked calmly. Suho didn't bother to answer anyone, "KIM JONGIN!" He yelled.
