SIXTEEN

It was a few hours later, Junhui had gone by now, because he still had to get something, unfortunately without Jeonghan, because he was probably still busy with Joshua. He didn't even want to know what they were doing...

So Minghao was alone and about to make himself a cup of tea, his phone rang and of course he answered, because even if he wouldn't talk himself, he could listen to others.

"Minghao", his mother's voice sounded in the receiver, but she didn't even wait for an answer, but continued directly: "You have to come back to China. Your father is ill and we need your help here. Pack your things, your flight is in three days.  Your uncle will take care of your house."
Then she hung up.

Confused and slightly shocked at the same time, Minghao remained standing with the receiver in his hand. What was wrong with his father when it was really so urgent?  And why did that have to happen when he fell in love with the boy he wanted to get rid of in the beginning?

Slightly frustrated, he put the phone down and took out his cell phone to tell his best friend about the bad news.

Minghao
Bad news: I have to get back to China in three days

Minghao
Come online, it's important!

None of the messages reached Joshua, probably he had turned off his cell phone, he often did when he had visitors.

Minghao was about to put his phone away when he thought of another important person who should know.

Minghao
Jun?

Minghao
I have to get back to China

Junhui
What?! Why?

Minghao
My father is supposed to be sick and my help is needed

Junhui
Oh no...When do you have to leave?

Minghao
In three days

Junhui
Then I will make sure that these three days will be the most beautiful you have spent here in Korea!

Minghao
What are you gonna do, man?

Junhui read this message, but did not answer. The younger one should let himself be surprised and first he would have to think something up himself, because unfortunately he didn't know the other one as well as he would like to.
