minghao makes a surprised, almost afraid expression at junhui.

"this can't be good." junhui whispers to him, breath hot against his ear.

"what is it?" 

they hear jihoon's voice say, laced with confusion.

"well, good news is that it's nothing life-threatening. but, we've given seungcheol's group a tracker, so we can track them, okay?"
 
minghao sighed, relief washing over him.

"ok. so, what is it?" minghao says, voice wavering.

"well, seungcheol, you see that little red and black thing on the back of your radio?"

a pause.

then a small sound of agreement.

"ok, good. that's the tracker. but, if you'll notice, there are none on any of the rest. and, we've decided that, since we can't give you the trackers, that you'll travel back to incheon and stay near seungcheol's group."

"wait," junhui hears mingyu say, "since there's only one tracker, are we going to join into one group?"

"well, no. you don't have to. this is just to make sure that we can know that you're in one city all together."

"okay. so, how are all of us going to get back to incheon?" jun asks, stealing glances at minghao, who was pacing back and forth.

"simple. the aircrafts you came in will return and take you back to incheon."

minghao stopped pacing.

"when?" he asks.

"they're on their way now. is everyone doing well? nobody's chickened out, right?" taeyong chuckled.

"nope!" they hear chan say.

"okay, that's good. the helicopters will be there soon. look out."

"okay." junhui says.

they hear a soft click for the radio, then silence.

junhui hears a sigh from minghao.

"so, what do we do now?" minghao says, looking down at his black boots.

"well....... actually, I don't really know. he didn't exactly say where they would land."

"well, should we go back to the building that we landed on? so that we can see the skies better." minghao suggests.

"I mean, sure. why not?" junhui chuckles.

minghao gives him a small smile, his silver earring shimmering in the light.
