A Versace Trance

Chapter 3.

apologies for the very late publish 😭, i had to catch up on school work !!

------------------

It was a typical night for Hyunjin as he arrived home after a long day of work. As a model for the prestigious brand Versace, he was constantly busy with photoshoots, fittings, and runway shows. But tonight, he had something different planned.

He picked up his phone and nervously dialed his boss, Mrs. Giovanna, number. He desperately needed a day off to recharge and relax after taking in what Felix had asked him.
The ringing stopped, alerting him that she had picked up.

'Hello, Hyunjin. I'm assuming you want a day off,' she said forwardly, as if she had read his mind.

'How did you- I mean, yes. I did. I was wondering if I could take a break cause'.. y'know.. I haven't got to see my members in a while.'

To his surprise, Mrs. Giovanna gladly granted him the day off, much to his relief. Hyunjin couldn't contain his excitement and immediately called his fellow bandmates to see if they wanted to join him for a night out.

The group agreed, and they all met up at a popular bar in town. Hyunjin's energy was contagious as they all chattered and laughed like crazy.

------------------------------------

'Take one more chug, Hyunjin!' Han chuckled as Hyunjin drank his soju.
'C'mon.. if I have to chug so do you, Han! And you Chan!'
'Bet!' Chan and Han jinxed.

They ordered drinks and were having a great time.

Felix, curiosity piqued, he trudged towards Hyunjin who for the first time in a while, had a genuine smile on his face. 'Hyung,' he whispered, catching the dancer's attention.

'Mm? Everything okay, Lix?' Hyunjin asked, reading the visible concerned look his doesang had on his face.

'I should be asking you the same thing. Are you sure you want this job? This is the first time we've hung out in months. Is everything okay at work?'

Hyunjin chuckled, taking another sip of his drink and exhaling before turning back to Felix. 'I promise you I'm okay, and I'm sure I want this job. It's just been busy at my HQ these days and...

Felix's eyes drifted off to the television connected to the wall in front of him that announced something strange, immediately catching his attention.

'Yah, Yongbok! Are you listeni-

'Could you raise the volume please?' the youngest of Danceracha asked the bartender, and they all turned to watch the news report.

The news anchor's voice was grave as she reported how several Versace models had been attacking civilians or even kidnapping them. The models and civilians had all gone missing, and there were no leads as to their whereabouts.
'It appears as if these models had gained several powers from whatever was controlling them, as some witnesses explain, they had the ability of superhuman strength, invisibility, telekinesis, shape-shifting, and more.'

The members were shocked and concerned, but Hyunjin and Felix's faces paled as they exchanged a worried look.

Hyunjin is one of the models for Versace. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. The news report showed footage of the missing models, and he instantly recognized some of his fellow colleagues, one of them being Tora. The group turned to Hyunjin, knowing that he was a model for Versace as well.

Hyunjin's mind was racing, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that this had something to do with the purple gas that always seemed to seep out of Mrs. Giovanna's office. He remembered feeling lightheaded whenever he was near it and sometimes felt out of his body.
