febuwhump day 2
------
"No, wait!" he screamed. "Let me out of here!"
The elevator doors didn't budge. Their glittery surface only reflected his image. He tried to shove the emergency button, but the key was jammed.
It didn't take super long to realize what was happening. Jinki was trapped in here. For good.
Hopefully, the others would realize that he was missing soon. Otherwise... he didn't even dare think of the alternative.
-------
"Where is he?" Kibum asked. He was frowning, but there was a hint of worry in his expression. "I could've sworn that I saw him enter the practice room."
Jinki should've been inside the studio fifteen minutes ago. But though all his things, including his backpack, his jacket, and his phone were here, the dependable leader of SHINee was nowhere to be seen.
"He said he was going to go grab something he forgot at the lobby and come right back," Taemin said.
"He might be looking for it, maybe he lost it," Minho said.
Kibum shrugged. "It's unlike him."
"We all have our out-of-character moments Kibum," Jonghyun said.
"Sure."
"Relax."
"Yes."
Kibum was weirdly jittery these days. Even Taemin and Minho went to great lengths to avoid ticking him off. Jonghyun couldn't understand what exactly what was going on, but he figured it was probably something to do with the huge workload they were dealing with.
Kibum was always sensitive to that.
"Should we just start...?" Minho asked. "He can join in later."
"Yes," Taemin said.
Kibum glanced at the door again. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"I'm sure he got caught up with something and is on his way up now," Minho said.
"Yeah, I know," Kibum said.
In the meantime, Jonghyun connected his phone to the speaker. He scrolled through the audio files to find the song. Pretty soon, it was blasting through the room.
Taemin grinned.
"I really like this song," Jonghyun said. "It reminds me of home."
"Your home is hard?" Minho asked.
"Don't judge."
"Okay."
"Let's start."
Jonghyun restarted the song. They took up their intro positions. As the beats started, they moved quickly to the music. There was a glaring hole where Jinki was supposed to be.
The choreography wasn't too bad at all. It was just exhausting and fast. Kibum found himself gasping after the song ended.
He checked his watch. Another five minutes had gone by. No sign of Jinki.
He sighed, trying to relax.
"Where is he?" he finally asked. "Should I go look for him?"
Minho and Taemin glanced at each other.
"I can," Taemin said. "I've got the dance down already."
Kibum rolled his eyes.
"Fine."
