Living With Seventeen

20

"AISH, where'd she go now?!" Wonwoo sighed in frustration.

He was in charge of keeping JiEun safe and at home, but he obviously failed his job. Luckily, no one noticed because they had all left earlier in the morning. Wonwoo had stayed home due to an illness.

"Ah, jinja, this girl!" Wonwoo cried, exiting the room she was supposed to be in.

Wonwoo grabbed his phone from his pocket and called, as well as messaged JiEun multiple times. Telling the other members of her disappearance would only be a burden to them as they worked on the new mini-album.

"Aigoo, she's not even answering!"

The front door suddenly opened, making Wonwoo run to it.

"O-oh, h-hyung... What brings you back so early. W-where's the other m-m-members?" Wonwoo nervously asked Hoshi.

"I'm tired and no one can do the choreography so I let them practice themselves." Hoshi pushed Wonwoo out of the way and trudged up the stairs.

Wonwoo sighed in relief.

"Hyung? Where's JiEun? I need to talk to her!" Woozi yelled as he burst through the door.

"Ah, she's... Sleeping, so you should be quiet, yes?" Wonwoo excused.

"She won't care if I were to wake her. I did that all the time trying to get her to school, believe it or not." Woozi ran up the stairs.

Wonwoo prayed Woozi's tiny body would trip over something and forget about JiEun.

"Hyung? Are you okay?" Mingyu asked.

Wonwoo turned to him and shook his head. "I kinda need help." He walked to the kitchen as Mingyu followed.

"I may have lost JiEun." There was a silence.

"You're joking right? She can't just slip away!" Mingyu yelled. "Leader is going to murder you if he finds out."

"Which is exactly why I need your help. Can you go and find her? Please, I'm begging you! It's already hard for me to walk with such an illness." Wonwoo pleaded.

Mingyu sighed. "If I could get Hoshi and Woozi hyung to help me, I guess I'll try to find her."

"No. Woozi can't know. Hoshi probably won't help. Joshua and Jeonghan hyung will probably agree."

Wonwoo and Mingyu exchanged looks before Woozi yelled, "JIEUN STOP PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK!"

"Oh my. Alright, I guess I'll ask them to help, and I'm sure she hasn't gone far, yes?" Mingyu sighed.

Then, the front door burst open with the other members entering the home with loud chatter. Mingyu and Wonwoo dispersed themselves as if nothing happened.

"Wonwoo-ah, how's my sister?" Seungcheol asked.

"Ah, she just went to sleep, haha."

Seungcheol eyed his dongsaeng, as if he knew something was up. He then plopped into the couch and began his nap.

"Hyung! Did you eat yet? If you don't eat, I'm going to hit you once you get better!" Woozi threatened.

Wonwoo chuckled and headed to his room to sleep. Once he got comfortable, his phone rang.

"Yeobo-"
