8 - In The Stars

• Yoon Residence •

"There's something in the air of Busan." Seokmin stretched as he got out of the car, "I love this unique smell."

"Your nose is just over sensitive." Minghao remarked, "Get it checked."

"Stop it guys, let's go in." Seungcheol commanded as everyone made their way to the front door of the Yoon residence. He pressed the bell and waited for the gate to open. A couple of minutes passed in silence so he decided to ring the bell once again.

"Are they not at home?" Jun muttered.

"Maybe they are at the hospital?" Wonwoo suggested.

"But how do we contact them? No one is picking up our calls." Woozi scoffed.

It was when the door opened, revealing a completely bewildered Kihyun.

"Oh Kihyun!" Seungcheol chuckled, "Why are you all not picking up your calls? Where's your hyung?"

"H-hyun-hyung." Kihyun began to cry.

"What happened?" Seokmin immediately embraced him which increased the sobs of the younger.

"Let's go in." Minghao suggested.

They somehow managed to calm Kihyun and served him a glass of water.

"Now tell us, what happened?" Wonwoo calmly asked.

Everyone had a conversation through their eyes. They were thinking that Jeonghan's dad must have been in danger or have passed away as they were aware that he was admitted to the hospital.

"I can't." Kihyun muttered while looking down.

It was when Mr. Yoon Jaebyeom and Mrs. Yoon Jiah that is, Jeonghan and Kihyun's parents showed up. Jiah began to sniffle as well while Jaebyeom consoled her.

Only one person was missing among them. Jeonghan. Over that, all three of them were crying. It was enough to raise the concerns of the group.

"Dad? Mom? What happened?" Seungcheol restlessly asked, "And where's Jeonghan?"

"We're sorry." Jaebyeom looked down.

"Sorry?" Woozi stepped forward, "Why?"

"Jeonghan-" Jaebyeom chocked on his words, "He's- he- he's no- no-" He inhaled a deep breath, "A week ago, he went to bring my medicines. Next day, we got a call that the car registered on my name was found beside a forest and it was severely damaged. And they said-"

"They said?" Vernon asked in horror.

"They couldn't find Jeonghan hyung." Kihyun blurted out, "The police said the forest was home to wild animals so it refers to only one thing."

Enough. It was enough explanation and enough for everyone to drop down on the floor in complete shock.

"D-dad." Seungcheol's lips quivered, "Tell me you're lying. No- this can't be- NO!! PLEASE NO!!"

Jaebyeom crouched down in front of Seungcheol and cupped his cheeks, "I'm sorry son."

Seungcheol fell over the old man's shoulders as he broke down. The other ones also began to cry heavily. Within a moment, the peaceful room was filled with the overwhelming cries of all the people present there.

It took hours for them to finally calm down. Morning turned into evening and everyone was just scattered in the hall, lost in their own traumatic world.

"Seungcheol." Jaebyeom approached him, "Let's go. Although we couldn't get his body, we still made his memorial. We'll take you all there."

"No." Seungcheol muttered, "There's no need for his memorial dad. Let's go and find him. He must be wandering alone in the forest."
