"I don't want to do this" Hongjoong admitted. Seongwha looked over at him, concerned.
"We kind of have to" He reminded the captain. Hongjoong nodded, giving a deep, sad sigh and staying quiet.
"But we don't have to. The kids can handle it" Seongwha decided, knowing he would regret it later. The whole team had been invited to a get together for other groups. It was purely a formal party so appearances had to be made and Ateez was expected to make a good impression.
"Are you sure?" Hongjoong wasn't sure how he felt about that. He trusted the younger members but none of them were very good in social situations without him and Seongwha there to lead them.
"Yeah. What's the worst that could happen?" Seongwha was aware how ironic that question was considering literally anything could happen. They passed right by their manager's house and kept driving.
---------------------------
"Are you sure they haven't called or texted?" Yunho was starting to get worried. It had been almost an hour since they were supposed to show up and there was no sign of the oldest and the captain."Yes, hyung! They have not texted or called since the last time you asked two minutes ago!" Jongho snapped. He had been staring at his phone, hoping just one of the oldest two would text him but there was nothing. Complete silence.
"I'm sorry Jongho. I'm just stressed" Yunho knew he was being paranoid. Seongwha and Hongjoong were probably fine; maybe they just got caught up at the company. But that didn't explain why they hadn't called. They always called if they were going to be late and they were never late for formal events like this.
"We all are" San pointed out, putting a hand on Yunho's arm. Their manager walked over, demanding to know where the oldest members were.
"They were very tired from being at the studio all day and asked to be pardoned. The rest of us are here though" Yunho explained as politely as he could. He knew it was wrong to lie but there was no way he was going to rat out his hyungs and risk them getting punished by their manager.
"Well, tell them I wish they were here and I hope they feel better" the manager could tell very clearly that Yunho was lying but he didn't point it out.
"We will, hyung-nim. They send their regards and regret not being here" Yeosang joined in on the lie. The older man nodded and went to talk to the other idols.
"I'm going to kill them" Yunho spat out through clenched teeth.
"Yunho-ah...." Wooyoung scoffed.
"No! I'm serious. They're the ones who always lecture us about making a good impression and being respectful and then they go and pull a stunt like this. Imagine how we must look right now! A famous idol group and we're missing two of our members! And for what? We don't even know where they are! They didn't even have the decency to tell us that they weren't coming" Yunho ranted. He did so quietly, not wanting to draw more unwanted attention to him and his members but the anger was there. No one really knew what to do.
"I'm going to try and call them again" Jongho decided, excusing himself and going into the bathroom for some privacy in case one of them answered.
-----------------------
"What have we done?" Seongwha stared straightforward, watching the car he had been driving slowly sink under the river it had crashed into. Both him and Hongjoong were soaked and it was really cold out."I.... don't know" Hongjoong admitted honestly. Seongwha shivered a little and turned to start walking. If he was lucky, he could get a ride for them but that didn't seem very likely. Hongjoong followed him miserably. He pulled his phone out and called Yunho, having no other choice.
