There was a loud knocking at my door that awakened me from my slumber. I slowly climb out of bed, making my way down the stairs. I open the door to see Jaemin's blurry figure standing there.

"Jaemin, what are you doing here? It's four in the morning."

"Jisung," his voice comes out in shaky. I could tell he had been crying. I snap myself out of the daze to see the tears brimming in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Jeno. He's missing. I haven't seen or heard from him in a week. I reported it to the police and it just hit the newspapers," he explains as the tears begin falling.

"Jisung, what am I going to do?" Jaemin breaks down, falling into my arms. I hold him tightly, leading him to my living room.

Jaemin sits there sobbing while I get lost in thought. I knew exactly where Jeno was. He was currently in the hideout. In a few hours he would awaken to find a sick Renjun. In a few hours, I would arrive with Jaemin.

"What if we went looking for him? I think I have a good idea where he could be," I suggest. Jaemin stops crying and looks at me for a moment.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes but you should get some sleep first," I say, softly placing my hand in his cheek.

Hours pass and the both of us are in my car, driving out of town towards the hideout. The car is devoid of conversation. I pull off of the highway and onto the backroads.

"Jisung, where are we going," Jaemin asks nervously.

"I told you, we're going to go find Jeno," I respond calmly.

"But he was last seen around the school."

"Just trust me okay," I yell to him. He remains silent the rest of the trip.
