By Your Side

Chapter 7

The next day, they all went to the company as Minhyuk was leaving for Law of jungle. But not before Changsub called Illhoon to check if he was awake, but his phone was still switched off.

On the way, Sungjae said to Changsub that Seonho wanted some help with his song for some show where he was gonna sing. Changsub said Sungjae could also help him, why was he asking him. To which Sungjae said that it was Changsub's song, so it was better if Changsub helped. To this Changsub said "Ahh... is it? okay then. I am free this afternoon after recording"

They were all traveling in his car and so after dropping them both off at the company, he said that he has a small work and he will be back in 30 mins.

He reached Illhoon's house and tried ringing the bell a few minutes, but what was he expecting, Illhoon would be still sleeping. So he just entered the passcode and went inside. Illhoon was in the same stance as he left yesterday. he didn't even move a finger. He tried to wake him up but he failed again. So he ordered some food and left it on the kitchen table. His phone was dead as well, he searched for a charger but couldn't find one. But he found some sticky notes and he thought it would be fun and left a few notes by his bed and in the living room as well. But he didn't realize that Illhoon would not recognize his writing. That's why he did not write his name.

Once he was back to the company, he went to his practice room as there was still some time left before Minhyuk came, and so removed his jacket, and got ready to loosen his voice before they started recording.

He was so engrossed in the song and his Piano, that when Sungjae came to his room, he was startled and jumped in his seat made a very funny sound.

"hyung, Minhyuk Hyung arrived, come and let's go see him off". But after saying that and looking at Changsub's Expressions Sungjae couldn't help but laugh.

"Yahh--- Can you at least knock before you come in instead of giving me a heart attack?, that's basic manners," He said clutching his heart in a dramatic way.

"Sorry hyung, I didn't think that you will be this scared," he said still laughing loudly and not looking sorry at all.

"whatever" Changsub just rolled his eyes but he couldn't help when a smile crept up his face. Sungaje's laugh was contagious.

"Peniel came?"

" Yeah, he's here already, Just Ilhoon hyung is missing"

"Ohh" was the only thing that he could manage. Thinking back to Ilhoon he was still worried.

"I tried calling him, but his phone is switched off"

"Maybe he's still sleeping"

"Yeah.. but I will call him again"

"No wait.." he said holding Sungjae's hand to stop him. " let him rest... It has been very tiring the past few days"

Sungjae eyed him but did not say anything further.
