He knew from the start that it was never a good idea to go into the fridge without bringing at least jacket with you, He instantly regret his decision earlier. He just wish someone would come in and help him. He remembered the time when he was a kid, he like cold place that's why he and his brother would open their refrigerator frequently, but that's also the reason why they got punish all the time.
"H..he..elp..." He whispered in thin air, as an unknown figure walking towards him. But he is somehow feeling hopeless right now, he just wish to see his brother for the last time before he die.
He knows Justin likes to sneak around the entire place if it's new for him, but this time seems to be unusual because it will only take the younger 10 minutes to roam around no matter how he likes the place. It's already 30 minutes since he last saw the younger, that's why he started to search for the younger. As he search for him he started to get nervous, not because he will be scolded by Justin's parents, but because of the idea that something bad might happened to him.
"What's the problem Sir?" A man asked him, who happened to be the Café manager.
"Have you seen the guy who's with me earlier? He's been missing for 30 minutes already." He explained to him, the manager called one of their waiter for help.
"Chief Yijun can you please help us here? Have you seen someone roaming around the café earlier?" As Chief Yijun start to recall if he saw someone earlier, he bosses called that's why he picked up his phone right away.
"Lady Yna, Master Jake?"
"Aaron where is Justin we can't contact him, can we please talk to him?"
"Uhm... He's..um.. missing.. Lady Yna."
"MISSING? AARON YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR HIM NOW! I'M WARNING YOU YOUNG MAN, IF YOU CAN'T FIND MY SON WITHIN TWO HOURS YOU'RE FIRED!" He heard his boss shouts at the other line, after that he ended the call.
"There is indeed someone roaming here earlier, I think he went to the fridge area." The fridge? No way!
He didn't wait for anymore instructions and ran to the freezer, he have to look for Justin as soon as possible. He doesn't want to lose his job, but most importantly he doesn't want to lose Justin. It was just 15 minutes since he search for the younger, but it seems like forever for him to do that.
He's feeling hopeless now that he can't find Justin, but he can't give up especially he knows the younger is really scared! He then continue to look for him, until he saw the door to the freezer. He slowly walked toward a shaking figure, he felt his heartbeat rising real quick.
"H..he..elp..." They heard Justin whispered, and got close to him quickly.
"Justin! Justin can you hear me? Please Justin.. you have to hold on baby... Please.." Everyone in there was shocked when Yijun said those things.
"Please everyone I need your help, we need to take him out of here." Everyone nodded as they helped and bring Justin out the freezer, he felt relief when he saw that Justin was alright now.
"Please bring me an aluminium foil quick!" He heard Yijun ordered the waiter.
"Sir! There's no aluminium foil here." He then saw Chief Yijun clinching his fist.
"HOW DID THAT HAPPENED? JUST GET ME A BLANKETS NOW!"
He shouted at his people as he hold onto Justin's freezing body, but what is he planning to do with the blankets? He is also wondering how Yijun knew about Justin's name, despite the fact that it's their first time going here? Could he be Justin's older brother?
Few minutes later someone brought the blankets to them already, and as expected chief Yijun is going to use body heat to lower the temperature of Justin, as he look at them both laying on the ground. Right there and then he felt something unusual in his chest, maybe he felt a tiny bit of jealousy. But he somehow felt happy for Justin, and maybe his hunch was never wrong. Would it?
"His temperatures are going back to normal, he just need a little rest. It would be better if he go back home now, but if he doesn't want to go yet you guys can stay here for now." Yijun said as everyone leave the area.
"Hmn..."
"Justin! Are you alright? Can you hear me.. hay.. please say something..." He don't know why but he's started to cry all of a sudden, he then felt an arm around his neck.
"Don't do that again alright? You almost gave me a heart attack, I don't knowwhat I would do if something bad happened to you!"
"Hyung... I'm fine now.. I know Mama and Papa are mad at you now, so can we please go home so I can explain everything to them?"
Even if Justin is still weak, he also know that his parents are worried about him. He then carry his young master piggyback style, he know that's the only way for the younger to feel calm.
"Do you know who helped me earlier?" He didn't respond mainly because he wasn't sure who he is yet.
"He looks like my older brother, do you think I'm a little closer to him now?"
"What would you do if it's him Young Master?" He asked out of nowhere.
"I want you both to get along well with each other, I want to introduce you to him. He would be really happy to meet the person who took care of me while his gone."
He just nodded in response, because don't trust his voice. It might crack and Justin would know about it in an instant. He didn't expect Justin to say that, but maybe he just wanted to be selfish for now?
They went back home safely, but they're not save from Justin's parents. But they're too tired to handle them, for now they need rest. That's why they decided to sleep in the same room tonight, besides Justin is still traumatized from what happened earlier.
"Good night Aaron hyung..." He just smiled at what the younger said.
"Good night Justin... I'll protect you no matter what." He vowed to himself as he fell asleep.
