"Oh no... this isn't good." He held his phone in his hand while reading a text message.

"Hyung?" Sehun gave Joonmyeon a concerned look.

"There's no time. Go down, we're having a meeting."

Now, Sehun's having a confused expression on his face. "What? Right now? Hyung, we're about to go practice –" Joonmyeon looked rather calm about this, but the way he spoke didn't look like it. He was frustrated. "Sehun. Now, please. Don't make me repeat myself."

Joonmyeon quickly went out of their bedroom and he ruffled his hair while on the way to the bedroom across them. He knocked on the door and said, "Kyungsoo, call everyone. We're having a meeting."

"Arrasseo." He shouted through the door.

Suho saw Baekhyun come out of the other bedroom and asked a few questions, but he simply ignored them by saying, "I'll answer later." He walked down the stairs and waited for them at the living room.

It took them quite a while to get together but once they were all settled in their seats, Joonmyeon stood up and paced back and forth in front of them. Most of them stayed silent, but then of course, Baekhyun was the most curious of them all. "What's wrong, hyung?" He wanted to lighten the mood in the room, but he knew it wasn't the right time for that.

There were ten members in front of Joonmyeon and he was frightened of what is about to happen soon.

"Kris is not here, right?"

"Yeah. He said he was busy." One of them answered.

"Well, manager told me that..." he stopped midway to think of how he was going to say this to them, "uh... he told me that he heard Kris on the phone talking to someone. He's – He's leaving."

"Oh, that's all? Kris-hyung told us before that he's leaving for China sometime soon." Chen said, sounding a bit confident and relaxed.

"N-No. He's leaving us."

"The group?" Joonmyeon simply nodded his head at Chanyeol's question.

After that, all of them were discussing the issue with each other. Everyone voiced out their own opinions and Joonmyeon let them talk for a while. One of them said, which was Lay, that he's going to call Kris. They tried to dial his number a lot of times already, but he didn't pick up.

Joonmyeon sighed. He knew it was not a good idea to tell them about this since they wouldn't know what to do, but he figured that they have to know about it anyways. Even though he's aware that they're not as close like the other boy groups are, he wants to keep positive and let them know that they truly are one. However, if this keeps up, maybe their quote will only be a lie in the future. Joonmyeon hopes for the best that nothing like that will happen. He treasures s so much, as if they were his own children.
