Nowhere to be found

They ended their sarcasm there and started unpacking their stuff to put in the toilet. Just when they finished doing so, Rui Xing received a call from Li Nang. She picked up the phone and found out that Wen Xi wasn't feeling well.

Their conversation went like this:

"Hello?"

"Rui Xing, Wen Xi has a fever. She'll have to stay here in the hotel for now," Li Nang said worriedly.

"Oh my, I'll be there right now."

Call ended.

"Who was that?" Shang Ying asked.

"That was Li Nang. He called to tell us that Wen Xi has a fever. Let's go to check on her," Rui Xing said in one breath.

"Oh no, let's go now."

Rui Xing opened the door, bringing along their own room card for when they go back inside, a cold patch for fever. She knocked on Wen Xi and Li Nang's room door. Li Nang rushed to open the door for them.

"Wen Xi...," Rui Xing said as she placed the cold path onto her forehead.

"No, there's no need for the cold patch. I feel totally fine," Wen Xi said.

Rui Xing grabbed the thermometer from the bed side and took Wen Xi's temperature.

"It's 37.8°C! You need to stay here! What do you mean you feel fine. Don't just say that to make us not worry about you," Rui Xing stated.

"OK I'll listen to you, MUM. I'll stay here...but on one condition," Wen Xi said.

"What condition? Let's hear it first," Rui Xing said.

"You all go outside and have fun."

The 3 of them replied at the same time, Rui Xing being the odd one out, having a different response. Li Nang and Shang Ying replied with a yes while Rui Xing refused. She wanted to stay, accompany her best friend and look after her. After all, Wen Xi was her only close girl-friend she had. Since it was two against one, Rui Xing had no choice but to accept it and leave the room. Before she left Wen Xi's room, she poured a glass of warm water and placed it on the bedside. She also wet a small towel with cold water, which she took from Wen Xi's luggage, and wet Wen Xi's hands. This was to try and lower Wen Xi's temperature. Then, with Shang Ying in front of Rui Xing, they walked out of the room.

Right outside the room, Rui Xing said, "I don't feel assured that she would be OK alone."

"Don't worry, she'll be fine... She's old enough to take care of herself," Shang Ying tried to reassure her.

The 2 of them went back to their rooms and grabbed their bags to bring out for the day. They met with Li Nang in the lift lobby.

"So where are we heading to now?" Rui Xing asked and changed the subject.

"We are supposed to go to Osaka Museum of Housing and Living. We can wear a kimono there and take pictures, that's what it says on Wen Xi's itinerary," Li Nang said as he read a message Wen Xi sent him from his phone.

"Alright, let's head there I guess," Rui Xing said.

The two nodded their heads and the trio walked out of the hotel.

As they were in the lift to head downstairs to head out of the hotel, Rui Xing thought about what Wen Xi had previously said to her. If Shang Ying and Li Nang liked her, this is going to be one weird day, she would have to witness the scene of 2 guys chasing after her, Rui Xing thought to herself. More thoughts start to form inside her head. Was that why Shang Ying and Li Nang looked like they were about to kill each other just now? She pushed aside those thoughts as they walked out of the lift and out of the hotel.

They stood outside of the hotel, clueless where to go. Who knows how they'd get to Osaka Museum of Housing and Living...

"So how exactly are we getting there? Taxi? Train? By foot?," Rui Xing questioned the duo in front of her.

"Don't look at me, I have no idea," Li Nang responded.

"I don't have an idea either but shouldn't we figure a way out?," Rui Xing said to the duo.

Rui Xing looked at the duo and knew that she definitely wouldn't be able to get much help from these guys. She turned on her phone and googled how to get to Osaka Museum of Housing and Living. She found that they could take the train there and walk 10 minutes. They should then arrive at their destination.

Shang Ying answered to her question a bit too late, "By Train, we can then walk-"

"Yes I know, I googled it, but thanks anyways," Rui Xing said with a slight smile. Well, at least he tried helping, she thought.

They walked to the train station with Rui Xing leading the way. The moment they reached the train station, they saw a waffle shop and went to buy some to consume. They all were starving since they haven't had breakfast. They bought one each, in total they had bought four. They didn't want to starve their friend to death in the hotel. They ate as they walked back to the hotel to give the waffle they bought for Wen Xi to her.

They arrived back at the hotel and took the lift up to that room. Li Nang opened the door using the card and in they went. Rui Xing was the first to walk in. She walked in, to find that Wen Xi wasn't lying down in bed.

"Wen Xi? Where are you?," Rui Xing shouted out from inside the room. "Check the toilet, see if it's locked."

Li Nang and Shang Ying immediately rushed to the toilet to check if Wen Xi was inside. She was however, not in the toilet. The toilet door wasn't locked. The trio checked the room, including their own room, but Wen Xi was nowhere to be found.

Where could she be? Was she in trouble? Would they be able to find Wen Xi?
