You had me at hello - minsung

Chapter 4

"Shit!" Minho shouted across the living room as he stood up in stress, running his fingers through his vibrant purple hair. Did his dad know where he was? 

Everyone looked over at him, as Minho looked back at his phone and tried to end the call, but accidently pressing the answer button instead on mistake.

Minho closed his eyes in nervousness, as he placed the phone on the table.

"Don't. Say. A. Thing." Minho looked back at each and every person in the room. Jisung looked very worried, and as for the others, Minho didn't even care about what they were feeling. All he knew was that his father was on the other end of an electrical device, waiting for an answer.

Quietly picking his phone back up, Minho placed the phone next to his ear. Should he be doing this? You're risking your life. Minho shook the negative thoughts out of his head and tried to calm himself down. It's only your father, nothing can go wrong, right?

"H-hello?" Minho stuttered, his heart race rapidly increasing, as he put the phone to his ear. 

"LEE. FUCKING. MINHO. WHERE THE ACTUAL FUCKING HELL ARE YOU?" Minho felt like everyone was watching him. It was as if their eyes were burning holes into his body. 

"D-dad i-i-" Minho had barely even finished his sentence before he could hear his dad's voice booming through the speakers again. 

"IF YOU DON'T COME HOME RIGHT THIS MINUTE, YOU'RE STUPID LITTLE RASCALS ARE GOING TO DIE." Minho's heart felt like it had stopped that very minute.

His cats. 

Minho didn't know what to do. If he was to go back to his house now, he could be risking his life, but at the same time if he didn't, he would be risking his cats too.

Overwhelmed, Minho quickly ended the call before shoving his phone into his bag and flinging it over his shoulder.

"M-minho.... what happened? Where are you going? " Felix asked, looking worried.

Minho looked across the room to see the rest of the group, looking up at him.

"Guys... Look. I-i need to leave. it was nice meeting you. " Minho replied, putting his shoes on.

Minho frantically opened the door, but as he was about to step out, Jisung grabbed his hand and dragged him inside. 

"W-what are you doing? I said I need to go!" Minho shouted, trying to get out of Jisung's grasp. Jisung didn't give up, and continued to tug on Minho's arm as he tried to leave. 

"You ... can't ... just ... leave!" He said, before he managed to pull Minho back into the house and quickly went to go lock the door. Minho sat down on the sofa with his head in his hands. He tried to hold in his tears, but he just couldn't. His teardrops rolled down as cheeks as he tried to get up again. 

"M- min-minho?" Jisung stuttered, grabbing hold of his shoulder. Minho quickly wiped away his tears. He couldn't just...cry. he needed to stop acting like a little baby. Maybe he could ask his friends for help? Yes, that was it! Just ask one of them to borrow their car, he was sure he saw one parked in the driveway. 

"Guys....I-i need you guys to do me a favour." Minho said nervously, looking around at the others. They all knew that he had something urgent and they were all not going to say no. 

"Does anyone have a car by any chance? I need to use it." Minho added, as everyone looked at each other again. 

"Uhm, I do. Do you want-" Bangchan had managed to say before Minho interrupted and replied, "Yes! Uhm, where is it?" Minho looked very worried yet happy at the same time. His leg kept moving up and down, showing he was growing very impatient. 

Even though Bangchan felt very taken aback, he quickly showed Minho where his car was, so Minho didn't have to wait anymore. 

The elder gave the younger the car keys as Minho climbed into the vehicle. It was a beautiful Mercedes-Benzs, and it looked very new and clean, with an amazing shiny black to polish it off nicely.  

"Do you need me to come with you? " Bangchan asked, as Minho pulled out of the driveway. He was sure he needed some help.

"Nope! I'll be fine. You can go back inside now, I'll come back as soon as I can." Minho said, giving a forced smile. And with that, Minho drove off quickly into the distance.

Minho opened the radio and blasted it on full volume. He wanted to drown out all of his overwhelming feelings, but he couldn't. They were too strong, and Minho couldn't handle it anymore.

What had he done to deserve this? Minho didn't know the answer. But would he ever know?

The drive seemed shorter than usual, and before he knew it, he was already pulling up in his dad's driveway. It was raining quite hard outside, and Minho didn't have an umbrella or anything, besides his jacket. Minho sat in the car in silence, as he watched the rain pitter- patter on the window. He could wait for the rain to calm down a bit, or he could just run outside now, and get things done quickly.

He knew he had to make decisions quick, time was short, and, he didn't even know if they were still alive or not.

So quickly lifting his hood up over his hair, Minho desperately ran out of the car, in the pouring rain, to where the back door is.
---------------------------------
"I hope he'll be okay," Felix said, cuddling up to Changbin on the couch. It had been around half an hour since Minho had gone, and there still was no sign of him. Bangchan was slowly pacing around the room with his hands behind his back. I should've gone with him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The group all rushed to the door as Bangchan quickly unlocked it.

"Min- Oh." It was just the delivery man, with their food. The rest of the group all sighed and went back to where they was before, as Bangchan took the food and politely thanked the man, before closing the door and locking it again. 

Bangchan came back into the room with his arms full of packages of food and bags of other snacks.

"Right guys... ugh..... let's just eat, ok? "The oldest said, awkwardly as he sat down on the sofa and started handed out the food. Everyone sat in silence as an uncomfortable mukbang-type silence filled the tense atmosphere. 

-----------------------------------------------------

Minho landed face flat on his bed as he lifted his legs off the windowsill. He had just managed to climb into his bedroom with the rope he used to escape, which was still there from a few hours ago. Probably the only reason his dad realized he gone in the first place, normally, he would have never even comprehended the fact that he was gone, until he had to make food or something. 

Quickly getting back up, he quickly went and reached under his bed, where Soonie would normally be. He knew his dad didn't know Soonie would hide there, and sure enough, his hand brushed against soft fur. He took the cat out carefully, making sure not to injure him. 

Minho could tell that Soonie was trembling, showing that his dad had already tried to make a move. He swiftly got Soonie to go into his cage before softly going downstairs. He could hear talking in the kitchen, which was obviously his dad. 

But.... that was a girl's voice?
