The Other Side | Minsung

Missing

"But what's wrong I don't get it. Is it because we are basically stuck in the house" Jeongin asked.
"No it must be something else" Changbin said back.
"Well then what is it?" Jeongin asked Changbin.
"I don't know. Minho?" Changbin turned to look at Minho.
"He seemed upset about something a couple days ago but didn't tell me. I thought he just needed time but whatever it is, is really affecting him" Minho said.
"What should we do?" Felix was the first to ask.

The room went quiet. Nobody knew what to say because this had never happened before. Only now did they realise how much Jisung was there for all of them. When they were upset Jisung always knew and found a way to make them feel better but now that it was his turn to be comforted nobody knew what to do.
"Ask him?" Jeongin perked up.
"Wont that make it worse?" Hyunjin said.
"We can't help him if we don't know what to do" Jeongin replied.
The room went into quiet chatter again discussing all different points at once.

Jisung slowly came down the stairs. He looked over the banister and peeked through the doorway into the room where all the members were stood. He could only see half of them but could hear all their voices. Normally he would listen in and try to see what they were talking about but he wasn't in the mood.
He creeped down the stairs and made his way to the front door where he quietly put on his shoes and left the house before anyone could spot him.
He needed to take a walk to clear his head and he would never get that with them knowing. He would have someone with him the whole time.
He walked down the path and the street away from the house until it was just a small dot in his vision. He didn't have a route in mind so he just walked around letting his body take him wherever he wanted.

He kept his head down and stared at his feet as he walked unaware of where he was going until he came to a group of houses he recognised. He looked up to see unconsciously he had gone and walked back to his old home.
He looked at the house. It looked exactly the same as when he had left just the grass had gotten longer and the dust on the outside light had doubled.
He walked up to the door and looked underneath the mat. The key was still there. He laughed at how dumb and common it was that they always left the key here.
He bent down to pick it up to see there was only a small amount of dust on it. Maybe around 3 or 4 days worth but the last time he had used it was months and months ago when he lost his key and got himself locked out the house.

He picked it up and unlocked the door then stepped inside. As he entered he felt mixed feelings. He hadn't been here so long that old memories began resurfacing themselves into his mind.
He smiled sadly as he walked around the house at the closed cupboards and plain rooms.

He made his way to the living room and sat down on the sofa. He grabbed the blanket next to it and held it to his face. He could still smell the fading perfume of his mum. He put his knees up to his chest and held onto the blanket closing his eyes.

"So it's decided?" Seungmin asked.
"I still don't think it should be me" Felix said in protest.
"Except for Minho your the closest one to Jisung who can get him to open up. If he won't open up to his boyfriend then maybe he's more likely to one of his closest friends" Chan said at Felix.
"Fair point" Felix said as him, Chan and Seungmin arrived outside Jisung's and Minhos bedroom.

Felix knocked on the door and received no answer. He tried again still nothing.
"Jisung can you open up we wanna talk to you?" Felix asked but when they again received nothing Felix turned the knob on the door and it swung open.
They walked inside but no one was there. Chan walked to the en-suite bathroom but he wasn't there either.
"Where is he if he's not here?" Seungmin asked.
"I don't know let's check the rest of the house he might have gone to the gym" Chan said and they left the room and began searching the house.

Only around 20 minutes later did they begin to worry. They couldn't see him anywhere. They went back down to the main room where everyone was waiting.
"So how did it go?" Changbin asked as they all stepped back into the room.
"Well..." Felix said slowly.
"Did you get him to open up?"Hyunjin asked.
"We can't find him" Seungmin said getting straight to the point.
"WHAT" Minho looked shocked "what do you mean you can't find him".
"We've checked the whole of the house and he's disappeared" Chan said.

"When was the last time someone saw him?" Minho asked worried.
"I saw him this morning when I left my room but that was it" Jeongin said raising his hand.
"We need to check the CCTV now" Minho said loudly.
"On it" Seungmin grabbed Chans laptop and opened it "password please".
Chan typed in his password and Seungmin put on his glasses going straight to typing. He stared intently at the laptop while everyone watched in silence.
"Do you want the good news or the bad news first?" Seungmin said after a while looking straight at Minho.
"I don't care! Where is Jisung?" Minho said Seungmin rolled his eyes.
"Don't roll your eyes at me" Minho was getting annoyed and stepped forward but Chan put a hand on his shoulder stopping him.
"Do you want the news or not" Seungmin said.

A short silence proceeded after that.
"Alright I'll start with the good news first. It shows here that Jisung was here around 35 minutes ago and seems fine so nothing bad has happened" Seungmin began.
"And the bad news?" Changbin rushed in.
"Well if you let me finish maybe then you would know" Seungmin stared at Changbin.
"Sorry" Changbin mumbled clearly not sorry.
"Bad news. It looks like he left the house and I cannot track him from the cameras" Seungmin said.

Minho whipped out his phone in an instant and called Jisung waiting for him to answer. No answer. He called again.
"Minho what if he doesn't answer?" Jeongin asked looking at Minho continuing to call Jisung.
"Then I will keep calling until he answers the bloody phone" Minho said with his phone to his ear.

Ring. Ring. Ring.
Jisung could hear his phone going off again and again. He hoped whoever was calling would realise he wasn't answering and stop but they wouldn't and the ringing was getting on his nerves.
He sat up and opened his eyes. Holding one hand to the blanket he picked up the phone with his free hand.
Minho was calling.
He watched it ring again until the call ended and added to the list of missed calls.
Missed calls (12)
Jisung was about to swipe away the calls when his phone began to ring again.
He thought of answering when he saw it was Minho but he knew the second he did they would want him straight back to the house and he would end up with a close eye on him until the house ban was lifted.
His finger hovered over the answer button for a good ten seconds before he changed his mind and pressed the side button on the phone.
The screen went dark with a red circle at the top of the screen.
He swiped right and his phone went black.
He turned his phone off.
