15: Something's wrong

Where is he...

Hao checks his phone once again but there is still no text from him. He sat there anxiously shuffling his feet. It's been 40 minutes or so, but Hanbin still hasn't returned. It's almost time for his scheduled class with Chiquita, but he is stuck wondering if he should leave or wait for him a little longer.

"Are you okay there Teacher Hao?" Gyuvin came to his table. The younger couldn't help but notice him constantly checking his phone since earlier with slight panic across his face.

"Did you get any calls or texts from Hanbin?"

"No, I didn't. Did hyung tell you to wait?"

"He diddd. He said that he'll be quick but...it's almost an hour now, and I've got classes in 20 minutes."

Gyuvin's eyes widened as he softly gasped, "Really? Hold on, I'll ask Matthew hyung-"

"Don't!" Hao quickly pulled the hem of his shirt, making Gyuvin look back at him, confused. He quickly let go "...Don't bother him. I think he didn't get any also."

"Well then, uhmmm why don't you try calling him?"

"I've already done it. It only rings. I even sent him a few messages but there were no replies."

"So what are you gonna do now? You'll be late for work if you wait for hyung to come back!" he said, worried about the situation too. "How about you go to your class and just give him a text?"

Hao sighs as he look down at his fingers, "That's not what I'm only worried about. Do you think he's okay?"

Gyuvin tries to assure him with a smile, "Hyung can understand! It's his fault anyway, he should've been here by now."

"That's not what I meant-"

"Gyuvin!" Matthew called as he urgently took off his apron and rushed to the door "Watch the shop!" he said before running out.

The two were left dumbfounded

"What the hell?"

Later on, they heard a notification bell to which Hao quickly checked his phone in hopes that it was from Hanbin, and it was. His face filled with relief

Gyuvin waits for a reaction from Hao but instead, he sees him blankly staring at his phone "Uh...what did hyung say?"

"He said I should go, and then he went offline."

Although the slight panic expression on his face had already faded, it didn't get any better. He still looks worried. "You've got 12 minutes to go there Teacher Hao." Gyuvin snapped him out after he checked the time
