Jehyun worried glanced at Jin's empty seat. The Chinese was absent for a whole week and hasn't contacted them. Even Hiro who mostly knew what the Chinese would be up to was left clueless. Tapping his pen on his desk, he turned his head To Chen who sat behind him. "where do you think he is? "

Chen looked up from his phone. He was trying to call the Chinese. A defeated sigh left his lips. "I don't know but I'm worried. He's not the type to not read our messages. I wouldn't be worried if he seen them but he hasn't "

Joshua who sat beside the worried butterfly slammed his phone down, unintentionally silencing the class. Everyone looked at him but said nothing, they didn't want to mess with the headmaster's only son. "not only that but Hiro hasn't been answering my calls and texts as well"

Speaking of the Japanese, he wasn't present since yesterday which was Monday. They had Joshua call him but like their other friend, was out of reach.

"best friends really think alike" Chen shook his head and furrowed his brows, hands on his hips. "when was the last time they did something like this? "

"that year when we went to boot camp" jehyun answered. "after hiro confessed his undying love for Jin'"

"do you think that's again" Joshua leaned closer to Chen and read the messages the butterfly sent to Jin. "but I thought they put that past them"

"obviously not" jehyun snorted before fully turning his body to face the two. "I mean Hiro enrolled here just because of Jin. He could have been in that acting school in Japan for all we know"

"Hiro attends an acting school Japan? " the trio turned their heads and saw Seojun who was sitting on top of one of their classmate's table, feet dangling in the air.

"yeah his dad basically forced him" Chen rolled his eyes before searching up the Japanese's father. "he wants Hiro to follow his footsteps but we all know, well I don't know about you, but Hiro is more into basketball to even care"

"I'm quite surprised that you didn't know. Hiro used to be a child actor back in Japan" jehyun showed the celebrity a photo of a young Hiro who was posing for the red carpet. "he went against someone named Jayden Park"

"oh, I know Jayden" Seojun knows him very much. So much that he's afraid to expose the older to his friends. "in fact—"Lee Jehyun! "

Everyone turned to the council president who entered their classroom. Hair and uniform disheveled, he looked like he ran a marathon to reach them.

"have you seen Jin?! " the president asked in distress, harshly gripping jehyun's shoulder. Jehyun hastily shook his head no. He doesn't know why but the president looked like he hasn't slept for days. The president let out a tired groan before letting go of jehyun and slumping down to the floor. "argh, I'm dead"

"why's that Junghoon? " Chen asked, kneeling across the senior. "is there—"

"Jin sent me a message that he would be out of reach for a while. He didn't say anything other than that. I also called my cousin who happens to be his cousin but they were also out of reach. I tried asking my other cousin but she couldn't contact them. The twins Chen! I'm worried about the twins! "

At the mention of the twins, the group grew alarmed. Looking at each other, they didn't notice that Seojun left the conversation and the classroom.

The president was in a frenzy. Although he and Jin aren't connected by blood, they both shared the passion to look after the twins. So with their sudden appearance, he hasn't been able to rest and was busy trying to find leads on them. He even asked the detectives in the police station but they came up with nothing. They disappeared into thin air.

"w-what am I going to do? " his voice wavered, different from his usually confident voice he would use when speaking to people. He felt discouraged.

"hey don't pull yourself too much Junghoon" jehyun pulled the senior into a hug, he sat beside the senior and rocked the weak senior. "Jin wouldn't be that careless. Maybe something came up"

Jehyun didn't know what else to say to the older. He didn't want to worsen the situation by saying that his cousin's cousin's best friend is out of reach as well. He shot a look of help to his two friends who slumped their shoulder. They don't know what to do.

"yeah tell me when you get leads on them.. Bye," Seojun ended the call before returning his phone to the pockets of his pants before walking away from the gym lockers. It was the only place where he could have a long conversation over the phone without being caught.

He wanted to help in any way. He called his connections to track Jin and Hiro down. He should have reported by the end of the day. He knew if his noona and manager were to know about this he would be in deep trouble.

"aren't you supposed to be in class" halting, he turned to the voice before bowing to greet the headmaster. "yes sir. I just came from the restroom"

"oh is that so" he watched as the headmaster bought his excuse. "well I better not stop you then. Please continue on your way "

Seojun bowed one last time before watching the man walk away from him. He didn't move until he saw the man turn around a corner.

Entering his classroom, he frowned at the sight of jehyun hugging the senior He once caught the cub talking to. He would be lying if he said he wasn't affected. Jehyun's shouldn't randomly hug guys. The cub should ask permission from him.

Wait, why was he thinking that way? Shaking his head, he made his way to his seat which was fortunately beside the window. At least he can look outside instead of looking at that senior and his lion cub.
