13. Growing Worries

Jungkook paced back and forth the room, worrying hip lip constantly. It had been 2 hours since Yugyeom said he'd be back and yet there was no sign of him. To top it off, Yugyeom wasn't replying to any of his calls or messages.

Yugyeom's parents had called not long ago and Jungkook covered up by saying they were having a sleepover. Now he wondered whether that was the right thing to do or not. God, he should've never let that idiot go alone this late.

Jungkook took out his phone and searched through his contacts quickly. Jinyoung? No, he wasn't really the dance type. Jackson maybe? It wouldn't hurt to try.

Jungkooks anxiety grew with each passing second as he called Jackson. Finally, after what felt eternity, Jackson picked up.

"What the actual fudge Jungkook?" Jackson all but slurred.

"I know, I know, its late but I needed to ask about Yugyeom" Jungkook said quickly.

"Yugyeom? He left for the train ages ago" Jackson sounded much more alert now.

"The train? The last train from Hongdae to here leaves at 10 PM. Are you sure?" Jungkook started to get a really bad feeling about this.

"10 PM? We left no earlier than 12 dude. Didn't he call you?"

"No? He didn't. He's not replying to any of my messages or calls I have no idea what to do." Jungkook's pace quickened with each word.

"I offered him a ride since he looked pretty drunk bu-"

"He WHAT?!" Jungkook all but screamed.

The situation kept getting worse and worse. Why the hell did Yugyeom drink when he knews its always a long way back? Better yet, why did others let him when they knew he was underage? Jungkook was in full blown panic at this point.

"We won a dance battle so we all went to drink. The others felt bad so they gave some to Yugeyeom too but I don't think he was that dru-" Jackson got cut off by Jungkook.

"How do you know he wasn't that drunk?! It was his first time drinking for goodness sake! How could any of you just let him go on his own? How did you, Jackson hyung, not at the very least drop him at the station?! He could be any-" Jungkook's rant was cut short as he glanced towards the doorway.

"Jungkook, I know, I messed up big time but please calm down. We can- hey Jungkook? Kookie you there? Hello?" Jackson's voice came from the phone.

"Hyung, I'll call you later" Jungkook hung up as he faced the person standing in the doorway, looking anything but calm.

"What happened to Yugyeom, Jungkook?" Came the clipped and angered question. Jungkook swallowed.

He was expecting a visit, but God did have the worst luck in the universe. Standing in the doorway was a brunette wearing a red dress and black heels. Tendrils of orange formed an aura around her, as they always did with guardian mages.

Irene was back.
