"Who are the boys he was talking about?" Renjun asked quietly, while Jeno was already on the phone with their leader.

"The guys he's living with."Sungchan replied, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously. "Bic is not from here. He and the others came to Seoul to become idols. They're nice- kinda crazy- but really good people."
He gave a weak chuckle, though his eyes were restless.
"They're also a great idol group. Soul loves their music... Bic's the second oldest... the others are a bit younger, so they're not here on this campus yet- they have another building for their school years. And the oldest one, Seongjun hyung, goes to a private school. He's about Mark hyung, Lucas hyung, Hendery hyung and Xiaojun hyung's age."

Jaemin tried to smile.
"Bet Mark hyung and him would get along great."

Their leader turned around, lowering his phone.
"They're on their way."

Sungchan's voice cracked with frustration.
"What?! You were on the phone for five minutes and that's all he said?!"

"Hey! Calm down," Jeno said firmly. "Stop yelling, okay? Hyung said they're coming. Once they're here, we'll figure out what to do together! We'll find her. We'll rescue her. Nothing will happen to her- I promise."

Sungchan exhaled shakily, ruffling his hair in frustration. "I just feel so useless..."

"Does Jaehyun hyung already know?" Jaemin asked carefully.

Jeno shrugged. "He didn't mentioned it. I'm guessing Taeyong hyung hasn't told him yet- but you should."

"Me?" Sungchan blinkedd, startled.

"Yeah. Even if he alreaddy knows, it shouldd come from you," Jeno saidd. "You're his brother. He'll listen to you before he listens to anyone else."

"But I have to-"

"Sungchan, listen," Jaemin interruptedd softly. "You know hyung better than any of us. You can calm him ddown if he freaks out. Right now, the best thing we can do is stay together and not do anything reckless. Chenle's already following them the best he can. We don't even know where they took her. Please... just call him."

Sungchan hesitated.
He didn't want to admit it, but they were right.

"Even if I tried, hyung took his phone away..." he muttered.

"Just try..." Renjun urged. "If he picks up, at least you can warn him."

Haechan groaned. "Hell, just do it, Sungchan! If hyung loses it, you're the only one who can calm him down anyway."

Defeated, Sungchan sighed and pulled out his phone, his hands trembling slightly as he dialed.

"Yeoboseyo?"

"H-Hyung?" Sungchan's voice crackedd from nerves.

"Yeah?"

"H-How- I mean- you got your phone back?"

"Taeyong hyung gave it to me because of... the given situation." Jaehyun replied, his tone sharp but calm. "He and some of the others are getting ready to pick up the Dreamies and make sure you and Felix get home safely.."

"Hyung is on a day trip, today..." Sungchan glanced at the others, who silently motioned for him to put the call on speaker.

"Okay... that's good," he muttered, swallowing. At least I don't have to worry about him for now..."

"Y-You said 'the situation.' Y-You know about it alreaddy?"

"Know what? That Wonchan and Barom are brothers?"
