Finally, after 3 weeks of Dino being away in Japan, he was able to get a phone call out to his members.

"Hello?" Seungcheol asked, picking up his phone.

"Miss me yet?" Dino teased.

"Hasn't been the same without you." Seungcheol said playfully. "Glad to hear you're not dead yet." He added.

"I know right, there were definitely a few moments, but we persevered." Dino admitted.

"Can you tell me anything about the mission?" Seungcheol asked.

"We blew up a school, idk - it was definitely personal for the Ateez members. Oh, the Ateez members! They're another gang like 3racha." Dino explained.

The 2 spent almost an hour catching up, Seungcheol passing the phone around to all the members so they get a chance to talk with the youngest.

"Has Haechan been over recently?" Dino asked.

"Recently? He hasn't left." Jeonghan laughed. "He's like a louder version of you, but at least he's nicer." Jeonghan added.

"He's out with Seungkwan right now getting coffee and lunch." Joshua added.

"Well, I'm glad he's doing alright, just keep him out of trouble for me." Dino sighed happily.

Right as Seungcheol was about to agree, the Red Phone rang. "Shit." Seungcheol sighed.

"Minhyun?" Dino asked as Seungcheol hummed in agreement. "You should go then." Dino lectures the leader.

"Ok, look, stay safe and call us again whenever you can, okay?" Seungcheol asks as the other phone keeps ringing.

"I promise hyung, good luck on your mission." Dino said before ending the call.

"God, is there not 10 more of you in this house to answer the phone?!" Seungcheol yelled as he ended his call to pick up the Red Phone.

"Yes Minhyun?" Seungcheol answered.

"You have a mission." Minhyun announced.

"Oh! You don't say! I thought you were calling to invite me out to coffee!" Seungcheol scoffed as he rolls his eyes at his boss.

"Survive this mission and I might consider getting you coffee." Minhyun said.
