October 15, Saturday / No Schedule
"What brings you here? Are you here to surprise my son?" Ji-Hun's Mother said as she gave lemonade juice to the members. Ji-Hun's sister was staring at each of the members, especially at Iseul.
"We're here to ask if you've seen Ji-Hun or if Ji-Hun's here," Minsu said, cutting straight to the point. The mother was shocked as she didn't know where her son is.
"Ji-Hun? Isn't he with you guys?" Ji-Hun's Mother asked.
"Uhhh... We can't let anybody know about this, but he got kicked out of the group."Iseul answered. Ji-Hun's sister was shocked as well as her mother.
"My brother? Got kicked out? NO!~" Ji-Hun's sister said as she covered her mouth, pretending to cry.
"Our CEO caught him dating someone. It was against our contract so our CEO immediately kicked him out of the group." Iseul added. As soon as Iseul was explaining all things to Ji-Hun's Mother, Minsu got so nervous about this. If her mother asked-
"Who's dating my son?" Her mother asked. The members all looked down at the floor except Minsu.
''I am," Minsu said. He had no choice but to tell Ji-Hun's mother about them.
"Minsu? You're dating my son? How did this ha-"
"JINSU IS REAL?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Ji-Hun's sister shouted as she went back to her room, screaming on top of her lungs. Her mother shook his head before she went back to Minsu.
"Why are you dating my son? When did you start dating?" Ji-Hun's mother asked so many questions to Minsu. Minsu had no choice but to tell everything. Every single detail about what happened between him, and her son.
"My son... Liked you?" Ji-Hun was not angry, but rather happy about it. But she remembered that her son got kicked out of the group for that reason.
"Where is he?"
"That's why we're here. To ask you and to check if he's here." Iseul answered.
"He's not here... Did you check his apartment?" Ji-Hun's mother said. As soon as she told the members the exact location of Ji-Hun's apartment, they all went out of the house and rode a cab to go to the address.
"So it's Unit 265..." Minsu said, trying his best to go there as soon as possible, trying to check each door while the members are on his back, trying to catch up with Minsu. As soon as Minsu saw Unit 265, he immediately knocked on the door.
"Ji-Hun? Please answer the door." Minsu said before Hyun-Jung tried to twist the doorknob and it suddenly opened. The door to Ji-Hun's apartment opened. The members went inside the apartment and they can see Ji-Hun's luggage on the floor as well as trash scattered on the floor.
"This is Ji-Hun's bag, right?" Hyun-Jung said as they all inspect the room, checking on Ji-Hun's inside.
"He's not here. Where is he?" Minsu said, starting to get worried about everything.
"Let's check outside. Maybe he's just out there somewhere." Iseul said as he started to walk away from the apartment. Hyun-Jung followed Iseul as they both took the stairs to go down except for Minsu who was still looking for Ji-Hun.
"Ji-Hun... I know you're here. I can smell your scent..." Minsu said after he shed tears from his eyes. He was so desperate to see and touch Ji-Hun.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have feelings for you." Just then, someone walked out of the closet. The screaking door of the closet made Minsu alert as he looked directly at it, seeing Ji-Hun trying to hide from the members.
"It's not your fault. It will never be your fault." Ji-Hun said, moving closer to Minsu. Minsu was stunned, unable to move as his heartbeat was beating so fast. It felt like he could explode it this moment.
"I love you, Minsu. But you can't risk your job just for me."
"Just go back to the group. I want you by my side, Ji-Hun."
"I can't"
"We can tell them we're not dating an-"
"It's useless."
"No!" Minsu shouted while crying. All his emotions went down as he was looking at Ji-Hun directly to his eyes.
"You can't just leave like that! It's not fair!" He added.
"I can't do anything..."
"If they don't want you to the group, then I'll leave as well," Minsu said, wiping his tears.
October 18, Tuesday / After Schedule / Luminous Music CEO's Office
"What is this, M41." Their CEO said as the members sat on the couch, ready for what they had planned to talk about.
"Ji-Hun?" Minsu shouted before Ji-Hun respectfully opened the doors to the CEO's office.
"What is Ji-Hun doing here? Aren't you aware that he's not a member of M41 anymore?" CEO said as the room got intense.
"If it weren't for Ji-Hun, our group wouldn't be as successful as it can be. Then him just dating me? You're gonna kick out Ji-Hun?" Minsu said, taking his courage to fight for his rights.
"M41? Let's talk th-"
"It's okay, Mr. Manager. We can handle this." Minsu said, cutting their manager's sentence.
"We weren't that obvious. Even if we weren't dating, Our fans shipped us and it was one of the reasons why we had so many fans. I thought you were gonna be supportive of us when you said you were okay with Hyun-Jung's sexuality."
"Minsu. Rules are rules..."
"M41's not the same if Ji-Hun's missing. we are the 4 in M41." Iseul said.
"Just give us another chance. Give Ji-Hun another chance." Hyun-Jung said as well. The CEO was frustrated about this. But he still had the courage to look at the members.
"Okay."
October 19, Wednesday / Practice / Luminous Music Lobby
"Do you still have information for Ji-Hun? After we confronted our CEO, it seems like he doesn't even listen." Minsu said after drinking some water from his water jug.
"Let's wait if our CEO gave Ji-Hun a second chance. I just wished he did what we wanted." Iseul said as he sighed, going back to the practice as well as the members. After a few hours of practicing and trying to sing their new song, their CEO opened the door to the practice area, which lead to the members looking at who will come. Atlas, it was Ji-Hun. With his luggage and a lot of bags in his hands before he put them down on the floor.
"I'm back!" Ji-Hun said as he smiled, ready to see the members once again. The members went close to Ji-Hun and gave him a hug.
"Ji-Hun's back. Don't worry, M41." CEO said before he left the room.
