Chapter Nine
Lee Sangyeon, leader of The Boyz, is wild with anxiety. He is pacing madly in the dorm. An emergency group meeting had been called.
"Hyung, I'm scared," a voice squeaks. "Eric wants to know where Hakkie is?"
"We all do, Eric," another voice pipes up.
Sangyeon stops. "No one leaves the dorm alone. And do NOT talk to the media about this!"
"He was at the morning recording session. I saw him, I swear," Kim Sunwoo insists, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Yeah, he got in Jin's car to go to the photoshoot." Lee Juyeon glances at Kim Younghoon and Choi Chanhee (New) who are clinging to one another. "I swear on my life."
"Well, he didn't arrive and he's rarely late too," Sangyeon says, pulling at his hair.
"Then it's obvious, he was kidnapped," New says, looking at his fingers like a preppy teenage girl, while Younghoon strokes his hair.
Eric whimpers. "Nooooo!"
Sangyeon waves his hands before him. "Stop scaring the maknae, Chanhee."
Eric buries his head against Juyeon, who pats him lightly. He sticks his other arm around his waist.
New rolls his eyes. "Stop being so overdramatic. You act like Haknyeon's dead."
"For all we know, he could be," Ji Changmin remarks, sipping boxed juice from a straw.
"Show some concern then," Lee Hyunjae snarls. "You too, Chanhee."
Sangyeon groans.
"We're not getting anywhere scolding one another," Jacob says. He's also the one who'd spoken earlier. "We need to listen to Sangyeon."
"And do what? We know nothing. Until we have more, there's nothing that we can do for and about Hak," Hyunjae says.
Sangyeon sighs. "Sadly, Present is right, boys. The only thing we can do is wait. We can also brainstorm. Think of anyone and everyone who might have done this. Did you see anything on social media from a saesang? And keep eyes peeled on phones for any news or communication from whoever is behind this."
"Or potentially anything from Hak himself," Hyunjae tacks on.
"Anything found is reported to me immediately," Sangyeon says.
There are nods and a chorus of 'okay, hyung' from the gathered men.
