{SHINee} Lee Taemin - One Last Wish

Chapter 7: Eomeoni

"Okay. Look. Everyone. Don't panic. Please. Okay just shut up!!" Jonghyun roared between the loud debate of his members.

Miraculously, they silenced and turned to the blinger.

"I think we have to cover him up." He said.

"Yes, for the meantime." Key cautiously nods.

"I'll hire agents to help us look for him." Minho volunteered.

"And his phone!" Key chimed in. "Let's try tracking it."

The rest nodded in unison, but the unfortunate look in their faces never left.

"Great. Now let's all get moving before manager notice." The leader closes the discussion and they all scattered to prepare on leaving.

It wasn't long after Onew had barged in their dorm, looking reckless. After he realized that their maknae had ran away, he didn't know how to break it to his fellow members.

But he was able to tell them every single detail, including his girlfriend and her condition. They were fazed. They didn't know their leader was carrying such misfortune.

Though they were a little pissed off by sneaking out without them. What really worried the four, was the thought of Taemin, never coming back again.

"What could've been that jerk's reason?" Key murmured more to himself. He was paired with Onew to meet a friend who can do the phone tracking accurately.

The leader sighed and stared at the ground while they traipsed down the quiet neighborhood. "He's unpredictable. I didn't notice he could've been hurting a lot. I should have stopped him from seeing her again."

"Aishh! If he almost lost his life the last time, what would it cause him now?" The diva's eyebrows puckered. His nags were a lot stronger than usual. It's because it's their maknae who went missing.

Though Taemin's 24 now, he still was the most fragile in the eyes of his hyungs. It's because he's most likely to break the rules, and would unknowingly risk his life.

"Found it!" Jonghyun called out with sarcasm. He ran back into the circle of his groupmates after finding Taemin's phone in his bed.

"He's smart like me." Key shook his head in dismay.

Now the four were back in their dorm. One pair bringing bad news that they tracked his phone, and it's not with him, but just in their dorm. The other pair, however have already paid secret agents to fly to japan and look for their maknae.

If not, they also hired trusted people to roam around Seoul. But if Taemin doesn't really want to be found, it would take a lot of patience in waiting for any reports.

"Now what?" Minho sighed when they all went silent.

They were obviously thinking how to cover him up in their schedule later. And they couldn't think of any reason that could make their manager from looking and demanding for him.

"I have a crazy idea." Key dully said, and the rest turned expectantly at him. "Why don't we request a leave? All of us. By that, our managers wouldn't go further about our maknae. We just tell them he already went on vacation before us."

"Vacation? Leave?" Onew said with surprise. "The way you said it just sounds so easy to do."

"They won't let us. This week is fully packed with scheduled shit." said Minho.
