Run Away

10. Room ✓

- MINA -

We all blankly stared at Momo.

"That sounds like a really bad idea but at the same time, you're a genius Momo," Jihyo muttered.

"We won't be stealing anything, just taking a peek. Come on Ji," Nayeon insisted.

"To be fair, we all agreed to let the others know our whereabouts all the time for safety purposes. Transparency is a rule we've agreed upon and Tzuyu's not following it," Jeongyeon seconded.

"What about we try talking to her again first? If we still got nothing, I guess we're left with no choice," Jihyo decided which we agreed with.

"If that's the case, I'll do the talking this time," Sana volunteered.

I went to my room and faced my laptop. I have been monitoring her location ever since the intrusion happened. Let's just say I have my doubts and she's really suspicious.

I'm using the tracking app I developed that was requested by Jihyo herself which we all have installed in our phones.

She's still in her room like usual, or is it just what she wants us to think? Come to think of it, I haven't even seen her eat in the dorm for days now.

I was so much absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice how much time has passed. I got startled when I heard someone knock on my door.

"Hey Mina, it's time for dinner," I heard Jeongyeon say.

Dinner? Oh I really fell asleep on my desk.

I was still a bit disoriented from my unexpected nap when Jeongyeon peeked inside.

"Oops sorry for barging in. I was knocking for a minute now and got no response so I felt the need to check on you."

"I fell asleep, sorry for making you feel worried. I'll be there in a moment."

She left my room probably to join the girls in the dining table while I stretched a bit to relieve the soreness on my back and checked myself on the mirror before heading out.

"Jeongyeon-ah, did you invite Tzuyu over?" Jihyo asked while craning her neck trying to search for any sign of Tzuyu walking out the hallway near the stairs.

"I did but got no reply. Her door's locked too," Jeongyeon shrugged.

"I don't think she's in her room right now to be honest."

What I said caught everyone's attention and now they're all staring at me.

Sana faced me with a frown, "but the tracker says she's there. I waited for her all day to come out so we could talk but she never did."

"I think she got another phone where the app is installed which she leaves in her room. There's no way she's never left that room for days now if we based on what the tracker says," I shared my thoughts.

"Jihyo, go get the master key. We're checking her room if she doesn't arrive before we finish dinner," Jeongyeon's voice is now laced with finality.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking right now?" I asked her nervously.

"If you're thinking she's the intruder, maybe I am. I just want everyone to be safe, okay?"

We hurriedly finished our meal and went infront of Tzuyu's room. Everyone seems to be pretty nervous particularly Momo who's already clinging on Dahyun's left arm right now.
