Eunha quickly scribbles words on a small note pad, hands going crazy as panic quickly started to take over her system. She was writing a note for Hoseok and her mom, aware that they would worry when they found her missing.

I'll be right back, don't worry about me.
- Yoonha

Hastily, after placing the note pad on the  kitchen table, she grabs various items she thinks would be useful in her mission to save Andrea: some change, her phone and a handkerchief maybe.

Should I tell Taehyung? I have a feeling I shouldn't go on my own. She thought and she figured she would rather be safe than sorry.

"Taehyung- V!" she calls out, almost forgetting to use his code name "I kind of need you right now, V!"

And like magic (or maybe he is magic, we'll never know) Taehyung pops up from behind the kitchen counter with a conflicted face.

"Yes?-"

But even before he could finish his question Eunha is already yanking him by the hand, her legs running off until they're outside the house.

"Calm down, will you? What happened?" he says in between breaths, hand still being pulled by Eunha.

"I need to save Andrea, Tae! I-I can tell she's in danger- she told me to turn my phone off and everything. I know where she is b-but-"

The panic and stress clearly became too much for her to handle. You could see the anxiety weighing her down, the panic tearing through her body as her eyes were shot, terrified. Despite all this, it only took her one word from Taehyung to zap back into her right mind.

"Princess," he calls out as he pulls her closer before letting her hand go to gently squeeze at her upper arms on either side instead "We're gonna save her, I promise. But in order to do that you need to get your head straight. Your feelings will only make you impulsive."

Following and processing everything, she takes in a sharp inhale before exhaling out steadily and suddenly the mess that was once in her brain became organized -- its as if someone had tidied every thought she had, picking them up from the floor and putting them away neatly in shelves and cupboards.

It was no doubt that Taehyung had the greatest influence over Eunha.

And soon Eunha is already calling a taxi, hand flying up to catch the attention of any of the taxi drivers driving by. When she manages to grab one, she makes the smart move to slip into the backseat of the car instead of the passenger's so that Taehyung could slip into the vehicle with her. He was invisible to everyone else, yes, but holding or moving physical objects that weren't his could still be seen by others and a car door being swung open by itself was the last thing he wanted the driver to witness.
