"Are we still going to play that game, Renjun-Hyung?" Chenle asked as they were walking back to their room.

"I don't know, Chenle." Renjun answered as he was busy on sending text messages to Jeno.

"Is Jeno-Hyung answering your messages?" The younger asked again.

Renjun let out a sigh first before answering Chenle's question.

"No, he's not texting back." Renjun worriedly answered.

"Try to call him, Hyung." Chenle said.

"Wait." The older said as he stopped from walking. "Where's Jisung?" He asked.

"He went to the Comfort Room." Chenle answered as he was still walking.

"You shouldn't have leave him alone." Renjun said as he walks again.

"It's okay, Hyung. He knows what he's doing." The younger responded.

Renjun didn't say anything after that conversation. When they arrived at their room, their Manger called Renjun.

"Yes, Manager?" Renjun asked as he answered the call.

"You're going to start your activity after thirty minutes. Where are the others?" Their Manager asked.

"I think they're coming, Manager-Nim." Renjun answered.

"Where are they?" Their Manager asked again.

"They had their breakfast in the Dining Hall." Renjun answered as he sitted on the sofa.

"What?! They just had their breakfast?! It's already 11:30 and you just had breakfast?!" Their Manager screamed on the other line.

"Yes, Manager-Nim. The boys already woke up late." Renjun answered as he scratched his head.

"Fine. Call them now and we're about to start." Their Manager said and ended the call.

"What are we going to do, now?" Chenle asked. Worrying that may be Jeno couldn't make it.

"Let me call Jeno, first." Renjun said as he dialed the younger's number.

After a minute, Jeno answered the call but only sobs can be heard.

"J-Jeno-ah." Renjun said.

"Jeno. We're about to start the Activity. Please get back to the hotel." Renjun added and the younger ended the call.

Renjun sadly put his phone on the sofa and was about to cry.

"What did Jeno-Hyung said?" Innocent Chenle asked.

"I can hear nothing but him crying." Renjun answered as he wipes his tears.

"It's okay, Hyung. Everything will be fine, soon." Chenle said as he walk towards Renjun and gave his Hyung a warm hug.

After a while, their door opened and it was Jisung, with Jaemin.

Renjun just looked at Jaemin and looked away again.

"Manager-Nim called and told me that we're about to start the Activity." Jisung said as they enter the room.

"He called Renjun-Hyung, too." Chenle answered.

Renjun received a text message while their Dongsaengs were doing a conversation.

Lee Je No

I think I couldn't
make it, Renjun-ah.
I'm here at the park,
incase you want to
see me.

It was already 12 noon. The guys were very silent in their room.

The Dongsaengs were very busy on playing games, Renjun was busy on texting with Jeno and Jaemin doing his role, he cooks food for all of them. They're already doing the activity.

"Jeno-Appa must be here. Manager-Hyung will scold us again if he knew that just the four of us are playing this game." Jisung said, still playing with Chenle.

"Yah, stop mentioning Jeno." Renjun said as he slams his phone on the sofa and looked badly to Jaemin.

Jaemin noticed what Renjun acted but ignored it and pretends for not noticing it.

"Can I talk to you, Jisung-ah? Let's talk outside." Renjun said as he stand up and get out of them room.

"Wait for a second, Chenle." Jisung said as he paused their game.

The Maknae did what his Hyung said and went outside.

"Jisung-ah. Why did you bring him here?" Renjun angrily asked.

"Hyung, I saw Jaemin-Hyung crying alone in the Hotel's lobby. People might recognize him." Jisung answered.

"You shouldn't have bring him in our room, Jisung-ah." Renjun said as he put his hands on his waist. "You should've bring him to their room and leave him there." The older added.

"How could I do that, Hyung? He's also our brother. Why would I leave him all alone?" The younger asked and his raising his voice over Renjun.

"You're on his side. Am I right?" Renjun asked and let out a sigh.

The Maknae let out a sigh, too and smirked.

"Look, Hyung. I'm not siding either Jeno-Hyung or Jaemin-Hyung. Both of them needs someone who they can trust, who can make them feel comfortable. Hyung, Jaemin-Hyung needs me, too." The Maknae answered.

Renjun was about to talk again when the door opened and it was Jaemin.

"I must go back to my room. I think you're arguing because of me. I'm really sorry, Renjun-ah." Jaemin said as he turned his back on Jisung and Renjun.

He was about to leave when someone screamed.

"What are you doing in here? Aren't you playing right now? What's happening in here? Where's Lee Je No?" The old man asked consecutively.

"M-Manager-Nim." The guys said when they saw their Manager.

"Get inside this room. I want to talk to you. NOW!" Their Manager shouted which made the guys feel scared.

They followed as they were ordered. They entered the room and have their seat on the sofa.

"What's going on in here?" Their Manager calmly asked as he seate in front of the guys.

"Jeno-Hyung isn't with us, right now. He went somewhere." Chenle answered with his head being shook.

"Jaemin." Their Manager called as he look at Jaemin.

"We had an argument while we're having a breakfast. It's my fault, Manager-Nim. I started the fight. I'm really sorry for being immature." Jaemin answered and shook his head.

"Jaemin-ah. You already knew what you and Jeno are into, right now." Their Manager angrily said. Jaemin just nodded as a response to what the Manager had said.

"Now, tell me. Where did Jeno go?" The old man asked again and suddenly, the room's door opened.

"Sorry for being late."
