The First Charm [Part 2; Chapter 4]
The number you dialled cannot be--
Zico shut the phone off. "Hyung, Soohyun hyung isn't answering his phone."
Soojin was turning a shade paler and Jaehyo didn't like it. "Then call the house phone, damn it!"
Zico only nodded and called the dorm. On the first ring, somebody answered.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Zico from Block B, I've called to inform you about--"
"Soojin? Is she hurt?"
"Yes, well--"
"Where are you?"
"Seoulcialite--"
"Hold on. I'll be there in three minutes." The line went dead.
Jaehyo looked at Zico. "So? Who answered?"
"I think it was Eli. He's coming."
-
Eli dashed down the stairs, attracting the attention of his dongsaengs, who were playing on the Wii in the living room.
"Where are you going, hyung?" Hoon asked.
"Nowhere."
Kevin stood up and grabbed Eli's arm. "I'm coming."
"No," Eli answered, not looking at Kevin.
"Why not?"
He shook the younger boy's arm off. "Because I said so." He looked at the other three on the couch. "You, all of you, stay here. And if Kiseop asks where I am, tell him to call me."
"Okay.." they murmured.
Eli got out the door and slammed it shut. A few seconds later, the four youngest members heard the tires of Eli's car squealing out the driveway. Kevin sighed, dejected.
-
The doors to the bar burst open, and in came Eli in a white V-neck shirt and pants. He strode over to Jaehyo and Zico.
"What happened?"
"Yuri."
Eli didn't need any more explanations. He picked the still unconscious Soojin up bridal style and turned to the other two. "You two, come with me."
"Where?" Zico asked.
"To the hospital, you dimwit," Jaehyo said under his breath, loud enough for Zico to hear.
"Shut up."
