jeongin wasn't the cleverest

that was surprising, considering his role as an informat. he'd always been sharp but when it came to making quick descion with literally no time to consider all the points and evaluate the impact of his choices?

nah that wasn't his thing

the fox-like boy frowned slowly as he analysed the data on his screen, lost in his own world of statistics. jeongin wasn't gonna lie, he was pretty damn smart; in his way of course.

the role of an informat, that was a pretty big role to give to someone well, not so clever. jeongin hadn't expected the team to comply, he was the youngest; could he even be trusted with such a big task?

what if he failed? what then? would the team be okay with wrong information on their hands? jeongin didn't know that and honestly, he didn't really worry about it either.

all that mattered to him was that the trust of the team stayed strong. as long as his hyungs trusted him, he'd be fine.

"jeongin? yang jeongin? innie??" the door flew open as jeongin jumped slightly, the room getting brighter as yellow light from the hallway drafted in.

felix stood at the doorway, panting slightly as he stared at the younger with a confused expression; one which jeongin was mirroring. then, he started talking.

"has chan texted you? i-i mean the group chat, have you checked the group chat?"

jeongin frowned once again and grabbed his phone, opening the group chat. felix stood by his side, looking over his shoulder. the unread messages were sent around fifteen minutes ago.

han hyung

"that's where they end", felix spoke, looking down at jeongin who was staring at him. "jisung and i came a few minutes ago, minnie and changbin hyung are looking for chan hyung, we really don't know where he went"

the voice crack in his speech was obvious and jeongin got up from his seat at once; "well, if he said theres a meeting then he's probably in the meeting room right? i mean-"

felix sighed, "we already checked it, it's locked from the outside. we tried knocking but there wasn't any reply. minho hyung's trying to break it down now.."

"he locked himself inside a room?" jeongin whispered as he stood there, dumbfounded. chan had always told them when things got really bad for him, he'd tried to keep up with it after woojin left but he was definitely getting better. what had happened that caused him to lose his cool, all in one day?

"there you are!" a voice shouted from downstairs causing jeongin and felix to share a quick glance before scurrying downstairs. jisung stood at the stairs, looking worriedly at the two when they arrived. the person who'd screamed was lee know; who was still talking to the man who'd just walked in through the front door, bang chan.
