Choi Jongho

A week, it has been a week and there is still no lead nor any evidences. Atiny's are still fighting and searching for him. Their manager forced them to rest for even just a day to regain energy.

Jongho looked out the window, closing his eyes. He could have been there for him, he could have trusted his gut feeling. He should have been here with them.

Jongho sighed and looked over the room, Yunho left and disobeyed their manager. He still haven't given up on searching for him, he didn't let tiredness take over him.

Jongho felt useless, he should be helping. But here he is, sitting down, looking out the window like an utter idiot.
Perhaps, he's out of leads. He couldn't think of anything, he couldn't think straight. Maybe, he did need a rest. But resting only made him remember Yeosang more.

Without him noticing, tears are already falling down. Hongjoong entered their shared room and quickly noticed Jongho crying.

"Hey..." Hongjoong hugged the maknae, Jongho quickly let his facade break, it's really hard for him to keep all of it up.

"Hyung... Why didn't I stop him from practicing that night? I already felt it, why... Why... " Hongjoong rubbed Jongho's back in comfort as Jongho stuffed his face on Hongjoong's chest.

"We didn't know Jongho, stop beating yourself up. We didn't know that this will happen." Hongjoong comforted.

"But... But... I should have-" Hongjoong pulled the younger up and faced him. He softly caressed his thumb to wipe the tears from Jongho's face.

"Jongho, don't blame yourself. We all are in despair, but we have to stay strong. We have to find him, believe that he's just there hiding from us."

Jongho only cried further, making Mingi and Yunho enter the room together to comfort the maknae.

"Yeosang, please just show up... I hate the fact that you're not here with us."
