Played By Fate

4♧ His Identity

Y/N's POV

The doorknob turned at the wrong time.

My grandma stepped into the living room just to see Jino...

Lying on the sofa, right on top of me.

"What are the both of you doing?!" Her yell echoed around the whole house.

I would have to admit that her voice is too loud for a person at the age of 70.

Even though my grandma was already very old, she is as fit as a fiddle.

Maybe it's because she is used to doing a lot of active activities --- she cooks, she does housechores, she helps out at the stalls and she plants vegetables too. Well, that explains her health.

I quickly pushed him away, and he quickly got up and faced grandma.

He gave her a polite bow and greeted her.

"Annyeong grandma. I--" He didn't manage to finish his sentence. He was hit on the head by a bundle of vegetables that grandma was holding as soon as she walked over to him.

"What are you doing to my granddaughter?!" She shouted while still hitting him.

I quickly got up from the sofa to stop her.

"Grandma! That vegetables are meant for dinner!" I shouted for her to stop.

Jino looked at me, unbelievable.

"I thought you should be saying things like 'stop hitting him, he didn't do anything bad'?"

I just shrugged my shoulders.

"So you were just telling me that you let a stranger get into the house while you're all alone and that he himself don't even know who he is?" Grandma looked at me, then fixed her gaze at that stranger guy, Jino.

I nodded. He nodded. Then she nodded.

"So, what are we going to do now?"

A good question. I also wanted to know the answer.

"Maybe we should go to the police? Make a report or something? So that if there is a missing person somewhere at least the police can lead them to us." I suggested.

The idea appealed to the both of them.

So all of us went to the neighbourhood police station and made a report.

So far, they haven't heard of any missing person or the news haven't travelled to a rural place like this. The police informed that they will contact us if there are any news. They even took a picture of Jino so I guessed we already did what we could.

Meanwhile in YG Building, Seoul

Kim Hanbin's POV

Jinhwan-hyung has been missing for two days. I'm so worried about him..

It wasn't like him to leave without a message. He always let people know where he goes, so as not to let other people get worried about him.

I remember that day we were all exhausted from practices. CEO Yang said he will find a date for us to officially debut as iKON, it's just that the date is still unknown.

We were already dead beat and feeling sore about CEO Yang's message because we were all filled with uncertainty. Even though we had gone through so much survival shows and iKON members had been decided...

The date is still unknown.

These words played in my head again and again. What if he decided to debut us many years later? How long do we actually needed to wait?

I'm confident about iKON, I believed we all have the capabilities. But the long wait had made me lost confidence.

Then Jinhwan-hyung noticed the members' emotions and he said he would get us some snacks so that we could brighten up. That was really caring of him. That's why I love him to bits.

However, that was the last I saw of him.

Whenever I thought about Jinhwan-hyung's disappearance, I felt so devasted that I wanted to yell out loud and cry. Could he have met up with a mishap?

But I knew I couldn't cry. Especially not in front of the other members. I had to be strong for them.

I knew they were as sad and as worried as me.

Bobby wept in his sleep, and he even sleep-talked which he never did before. Several times I caught Yunhyeong and Donghyuk secretly crying, Chanwoo staring into blank space at most times. And Junhoe? He wouldn't cry but I could see that he is equally worried as he talked and ate less. He isn't as sassy as before too.

I really hope that Jinhwan is just trying to take a break from all the stress and not simply disappearing into thin air....
