Jongin was on his way to Jinri's shooting place when his phone was ringing. Without looking at the caller's name, he tapped answer.

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Are you still driving?"

Jongin knitted his brows upon hearing Chanyeol's deep voice. "Yes, why?"

"In the group chat Junmyeon hyung asked us to gather up at his house," he answered. "You're the only one who didn't answer so I figured that you must be driving."

"Why, though? Did something go wrong with the recordings?" As far as Jongin knew, the process today went fairly smooth.

"I don't know either. He refused to tell us anything since not all of us are here yet. You and Sehun-"

Baekhyun snatched his phone. "Get your ass here ASAP, Jongin-ah. Drive safe."

Tut!

Jongin rolled his eyes. Glancing at the paper bags beside him, he thought maybe he'll just catch up with Jinri before her flight tomorrow.

At the parking lot, he met Sehun whose face was just as puzzled as he was.

"Wonder what he'll tell us?" Jongin asked the younger guy.

Sehun shrugged. "No idea. But I think it has something to do with the agency. I heard him got a call from them after our recording session ended."

"The agency huh?" Jongin muttered. He was just about to knock on Junmyeon's door before Sehun stopped him.

"Wanna bet?" he grinned. "If it's a good news, I'll get your new Xbox."

"Then I think my Xbox will be safe for now," Jongin answered calmly. "Good news is a rare thing when it comes to our agency."

"Uri maknae are here!"

Baekhyun shouted on the top of his lungs as he opened the door, his voice in a higher pitch than usual.

"Sit down everyone," Junmyeon ordered them. They're now gathered at his living room, sitting in circle with Junmyeon taking the sole loveseat.

"What is it?" Jongin asked him. He looked around at the other guys who were gathered there. "It's been a long time since we've had this informal meeting discussing work at your place, Hyung," he said, smiling wide then turns into glare after he saw some of them snickered at his cheesy comment.

But Junmyeon looked at him with an unreadable expression. It was like the older guy knew something he doesn't, and he pitied him.

"Well," the leader began, putting his hand together in a professional manner, "I got a call from the agency after we finished recording for today. It's about our upcoming album."

Jongin caught the glance Sehun sent at him. Told ya.

Junmyeon continued, "They said that... we need to release the album this month instead of next month-"
