Chan found himself alone on Saturday, working from home as usual. He texted Felix to check on him and asked to talk, but there was no response. Suddenly, his phone beeped with a message that made him swear under his breath 'fuck!'. He quickly got dressed and rushed to the company.

When Chan arrived, he found Changbin and Minho waiting for him in a practice room. "Sorry I'm late, I totally forgot about the meeting today," he apologized as he walked in.

"I almost forgot too, but Changbin is always on top of things and woke me up early," Minho added, swallowing some painkillers and settling into a chair.

"Are you hungover? You seemed almost sober last night when I last saw you," Changbin asked as he sat down next to Minho and placed some papers on the desk.

"Yeah, yeah, but I drank more at home. I wasn't sleepy yet when we got home," Minho replied, closing his eyes and resting his head on his hands.

"We... What?! Did you bring Jisung to your home!?" Changbin exclaimed, clearly taken aback.

"Okay, can you guys lower your voices? My head is killing me. We just hung out, he met Soonie, Doongie, Dori, we had some drinks, and chatted. Then I dropped him off at his place, that's it. The world is still spinning at peace." Minho explained, without bothering to lift his head.

"Soonie, Doongie, Dori?" Changbin looked puzzled.

"Minho's cats, Changbin. He talks about them all the time. Anyway, let's get back to work and finalize next week's schedules," Chan interjected, taking a seat beside them. He kept glancing at his phone every few minutes, and Changbin noticed.

After spending the entire day discussing and finalizing the schedules and methods, they finally finished as the night fell.

"Okay, we start the new schedule on Monday," Changbin said excitedly. "The kids will be surprised."

"Sounds good," Chan replied, glancing at his phone.

"I'm driving today, I can give you a lift," Minho offered.

"Thanks, I appreciate it," Chan said.

They both said their goodbyes and went to the car.

As they were driving, Chan repeatedly tried to call Felix, but his phone was out of service "Fuck!" Chan said, angry at his phone.

"Is everything alright?" Minho asked, sensing Chan's frustration.

"I've been trying to reach Felix, but he's not answering his phone," Chan replied.

"He probably ran out of battery or something," Minho suggested, trying to ease Chan's worry.

"But he always has his phone fully charged and he can't stop scrolling through that TikTok app," Chan expressed his concern. It was dark outside and Felix had been missing the entire day. "Maybe he's with Jisung or Hyunjin, but I don't have their phone numbers," he continued to try calling Felix once more.

"Hmm, I don't know what happened, but I can give you Jisung's number if you're so worried," Minho offered.

"Do you actually have his number?"

"Yeah, yeah, but with one condition: don't ask anything or talk about it."

"Okay, okay, I just need to make sure Felix is okay!"

Minho stopped at Felix and Chan's house. As he checked his phone he received a surprising message that left him silent.

"Hey, don't forget to text me Jisung number, okay?" Chan said, snapping Minho back to reality.

"Yeah, sure, I just... Here, I sent it to your phone, please make sure Felix is not home before calling Jisung"

"Thanks a lot" Chan left the car and went inside their house as fast as he could, it was all dark, nobody's home 'fuck'. He starts to dial Jisung's number, who picks up after a few rings.

"He- Hello?"

"Hello, Jisung?" Chan asked, sounding worried.

Jisung sounded surprised when he answered the phone. "Yeah?" he replied.

"Here's Chan. Sorry to bother you, but do you happen to know where Felix is? Maybe he's with you?"

Jisung sounded concerned. "Oh, hello Chan. Actually, I don't. Is everything okay?"

Chan's voice was tense as he replied, "Yeah, yeah. If you see him or he calls you, could you let me know, please?"

Jisung replied reassuringly, "Sure, no problem."

"Thank you," Chan said before hanging up the phone.

Chan considered the possibility that Hyunjin might be with Felix, but he didn't have Hyunjin's contact information or address. Suddenly, he had a bright idea. "Maybe Changbin is still at the office," he thought to himself. He dialed Changbin's number and Changbin answered from his home.

"Hey, Chan," Changbin said.

"Hey, Changbin, are you still at the office?" Chan asked.

"Sorry, I left after you. Why do you ask? Do you need something?" Changbin inquired.

"I was thinking that maybe you could get Hyunjin's number from his files. I don't know where Felix is, and he hasn't answered his phone all day, maybe they are together" Chan explained.

Changbin thought for a moment and realized that Chan was very worried about Felix. "I do have Seungmin's number," he said cautiously, "but please don't ask any questions or mention anything."

"Thank you so much, Bin!" Chan exclaimed as the message with Seungmin's number popped up on his phone. He immediately dialed the number and waited for Seungmin to answer.

After receiving Seungmin's number, Chan dialed it immediately. "Hello, Seungmin?" he said as soon as someone answered.

"Hello?" Seungmin replied, sounding confused.

"Here's Chan..."

"Oh, hey, Chan," Seungmin said, smiling. He then turned to show his phone to everyone in the room, causing Felix's smile to instantly vanish.

"Maybe do you know where Felix is?" Chan asked, his voice laced with worry. It was his last hope.

"Well, actually, I know where he is," Seungmin said, smiling and holding up his phone. Everyone in the room looked at him, and Felix's smile quickly faded as he shook his head vigorously, signaling for Seungmin not to say anything.

"He's here with me. Do you want to come ov-" Felix snatched Seungmin's phone from him before he could finish his sentence.

"Chan?" Felix said, taking a deep breath.

"Felix, are you okay? Can we talk?" Chan asked, concerned for his friend's well-being.

"Yeah, everything's fine, Chan. I'm going to spend a few days at Hyunjin's house, so don't worry, okay? Bye," Felix replied with a cheerful tone and ended the call before Chan could say anything else.

"Hey, Lix?" Chan tried to talk but the younger one hung up.
