Midnight Rain || Soonwoo

13

Samuel led the three of them to a diner nearby. The four of them enjoyed their dinner with jokes and laughter in between. It was short lived as they saw Jeonghan enter the diner with an unknown man. Vernon and Samuel's jaw dropped in shock while Seungkwan and Chan stared at Jeonghan and that man in confusion

"No... No no-"

Samuel whispered to himself as he pulled out his phone and texted Seungcheol about this

Cheol hyung🍒

Hyung!
Bad news!

What happened?

Jeonghan hyung is on a date with Hyungwon

This made Seungcheol freeze. He was now back in his apartment and was lazily scrolling through his phone while sitting on the counter

Sam✨️

No no no
He can't do that
You must be hallucinating things

I wish I could say that hyung
But the look on Hansol hyung's face says it all
We can't do anything now

Was that true though? For Seungcheol it was not. Because he knows that Jeonghan still loves him and maybe that would come into an advantage

Cheol hyung🍒

Who said that we can't?
Call everyone to my place
Tell them it's an emergency
Even Woozi, Hoshi and Jun
I will contact Josh and Dk

Okay hyung

In the time Samuel was texting Seungcheol, Vernon had explained the situation to Chan and Seungkwan. Both of them were enraged when Vernon finished

"I will talk to Jeonghan hyung."

Chan stated as he stood up to go but Samuel grabbed his hand and stopped him from doing so

"We need to leave without their notice. They can't know that we know. We all are asked to head to Seungcheol hyung's apartment right now excluding Jeonghan hyung of course."

Samuel explained as the other three nodded. They quickly paid for their meal, making sure that Jeonghan or Hyungwon didn't see them and left the diner. They rushed to Seungcheol's apartment, which was a 20 minute walk away from the diner they were at but it will take only 10 minutes with the pace they were going at

"What? Uhh okay?"

Junhui on the other hand had just received the information to get to Seungcheol's apartment with Jihoon and Soonyoung as both of them were asleep on the couch while Junhui had stayed up to wait for Jeonghan and Joshua to come back

"Soons? Hoons? Wakie! We have to get to S.Coups' apartment. It's an emergency."

Junhui stated as he turned around and shook them awake. After few minutes, the trio walked out of the apartment, not forgetting to lock the door. It was a 25 minute walk to Seungcheol's apartment from there

"We are coming. Don't panic. Take deep breaths."

Joshua stated as he could feel Seungcheol panicking through the phone call. Seokmin looked at Joshua in confusion as Joshua hung up and lend his hand to Seokmin

"We need to go back to Seungcheol's apartment. It's an emergency."

Joshua stated as Seokmin pouted while taking his hand and standing up before walking away from the river side

"Wonwoo hyung! Open the damn door! It's an emergency!"

Jungkook exclaimed as by then Seungcheol had told the 3 best friends. Mingyu had contacted Taehyung and informed him about it

"It's never an emergency when-"

"Get out the damn room! You will know why within 30 minutes! Come on!"

Wonwoo sighed and opened the door before following Jungkook out. He didn't expect to see Mingyu and Minghao trying to calm down a panicked Seungcheol

"Hyung? Hyung! Breathe! Fucking breathe hyung!"

Wonwoo exclaimed as Seungcheol followed Wonwoo's direction and managed to calm down a bit. Right at that moment, Samuel, Chan, Vernon and Seungkwan arrived. Seungcheol had left the door open for them to come in, making it easier for all of them

"This is not good hyung!"

Samuel exclaimed, earning a flick on his forehead from Mingyu as a warning to keep quiet as Samuel listened. Seungcheol clenched his fists tightly as he couldn't help but feel frustrated at himself for not explaining things sooner whether Jeonghan liked it or not

"What happened?"

Wonwoo asked as Jungkook and Samuel froze. They knew that Wonwoo will be triggered but it was the best if he knows

"Hyungwon... Has put Jeonghan hyung under his spell."

Samuel spoke after a long silence as Wonwoo froze. He stayed silent for a while before looking at them all

"Then why are we here? We should be there and stop them instead."

Wonwoo stated as they looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to it

"It will bring danger to you and Soonyoung. That's why we are still here. We have to plan things carefully."

Joshua stated as he walked in with Seokmin, who had tears in his eyes as he immediately went and hugged Wonwoo tightly

"I am really sorry hyung. For not knowing this sooner. I would have protected you from him if I had known."

Seokmin cried as Wonwoo froze for the second time. Seokmin's words somewhat gave him warmth as he returned the hug with a small smile

"It's okay. I had to face this anyways."

Wonwoo stated with a sad smile as the trio finally arrived with confused faces. Soonyoung looked away from Wonwoo as he still didn't know how to help him

"Face what Wonwoo?"

Junhui asked as he had heard what Wonwoo had said earlier when they had just arrived

"Face Hyungwon."

His name was enough to make Soonyoung look at Wonwoo with wide eyes. Before Jihoon or Junhui interrupted, Minghao explained it to them once more. It made everyone's blood boil

"That bastard... He is after Jeonghan hyung? We can't let that happen."

Junhui stated as they all nodded in agreement. Before they could proceed with the discussion, Junhui's phone rang. He pulled out the phone and almost dropped the phone. Minghao peeked over as his eyes widened

"It's Jeonghan hyung's call. What should we do now?"

Minghao asked as Mingyu somewhat thought of a scenario like this and exactly knew what to do

"Pick up the call, Hao. Lie to hyung saying that Jun hyung went to the washroom. From there I will show you what to tell but you have to make sure that you don't sound like you are reading. Okay?"

Mingyu instructed as Minghao nodded. Will Mingyu's plan work though?
