Eunmi POV:
The icy water took my breath away instantly, leaving me gasping for air. At least it briefly cut through the feeling of being about to pass out. Shivering I waded over to the stairs, dragging myself up until I can touch the trapdoor. I press my hands against it trying to lift with all my strength, but it doesn't even budge. I try again a handful of times.... Each one to find the same result. I'm trapped in here. I start to panic, slamming myself against the door and yelling for help. But none comes. For at least an hour I continue, but my strength is fading with each movement. In my already weakened state I can feel the ice creeping into my bones. I give another shove, using almost all of the energy that I have left, only to dislodge myself from my perch on the stairs, sending me sliding back into the layer of dark water covering the floor.
This time it's so much harder to get back up, my frozen hands keep slipping as I climb the stairs. I make it about halfway when I remember something. I have my phone in my pocket. Praying that it's okay, I take it out. A spiderweb of cracks cover the screen. I hold my breath as I press down on the power button. It turns on. The screen is flickering but at least it turned on. My heart sinks again when I see that there are no bars. I keep climbing until it's pressed against the trapdoor. A beautiful single bar of reception lights up, not enough to make a call but at least I can text someone. My phone is about to die, so the best I can do is type a single word before hitting send. Hoping that it will make it through I sink back onto the steps, the last of my energy spent. All I can do is wait.
Namjoon's POV:
We're just packing up after vocal practice when suddenly each of our phones buzz. Curious I go over to see what it is. It a notification for the group chat, something that sends fear shooting through me. On my my screen a text from Eunmi holds my attention.
Eunmi - Help
After Taehyung and Jungkook bumped into her at the department store they had told us about what they had learnt from her about Mr Kwan. Panicking, I try to call her but it won't go through. A worried chatter breaks out around me as the others check their phones.
"We have to go, I've tried to call her but it's not working." I speak up, whilst racking my brain for where she could be.
"Let's try the company building first, if she's not there then someone will know where to find her." Yoongi suggests rationally, trust him to stay calm.
We're all in agreement, not even stopping to gather our bags we head down to the mini bus. As we drive I can't help but let my mind wonder, thinking about all the situations Eunmi could be facing, each one worse than the last. The trip is thankfully a short one, and we are soon all walking into the lobby.
"Is Refract here? It's urgent." I can barely wait for the receptionist's answer.
"No. How urgent is whatever you need?" She replies shortly, not even looking up.
"Life or death. Now tell me where I can find them!" I'm starting to get impatient as worry builds up.
This time she actually tells me, they're at the dorm. Another 15 minutes from here. Practically running take the lead back to the bus. The entire trip I'm hassling Jin to go faster, not really caring if we break speed limits. We've heard both else from her, and somehow that's even worse than knowing what happened. Finally we arrive and race inside, thank goodness the doors were unlocked. Rushing through the dorm, I follow the sound of voices toward the living room/kitchen/dining area. Once my head is through the door I see a congregation of people scattered about the room. Each person has their eyes on an open walk-in closet door. They all sit there as though too scared to move, even when I walk into the room they barely glance up. Heading further inside I see what the are watching, a heavy metal trapdoor padlocked shut. A spike of horror pierces me.
"Where is Eunmi?" I say this even though I half know the answer. I'm just hoping that I'm wrong.
The way that everyone avoids the question gives it away instantly. Each face glancing back at the door. Running to the door I pull against the handle trying in vain to open it. I'm not sure what I expected would happen. Having given up with actually opening it I press my face up close to the frame and call to her.
"Eunmi are you okay? We're here now I'll get you out."
I have to strain to hear the weak voice that calls back.
"Thank you."
Author's Note:
Okay so I know that this chapter is pretty short but it was either I split it here or it goes on for another 1000 or so words 😬
Okay question time: Who are your favourite male and female solo K-pop artists?
Female: HyunA, for me she wins hands down. Not entirely sure why though, there just something about her that I love.
Male: Okay... So this one is a bit harder for me currently it's Taemin and it has been him for a long time (Since さよならひとり). But lately Jonghyun and Agust D have been competing for the title.
Until next week ; )
