“Chaeyoung? The girls?” Jeongyeon asked as they walked out of his office with hurried steps.

“None of them was there,” Donghae replied, following close behind.

“Good.” He said and repeatedly jabbed the elevator button. The elevator was taking too long so he decided to use the stairs. They got into the car and drove off immediately.

“Hurry,” Jeongyeon ordered and the man stepped on the gas. Just then, the phone rang.

“Junjin is calling. Do you want to pick up?” Donghae asked.

“Ignore it. I’ll call him back later.”

“Understood,” Donghae said as he rejected the call. They arrived at the university but were unable to get closer due to the amount of rescue and police vehicles. Jeongyeon got out and began to run past the carnage, looking desperately for his friends.

People were crying and the entire place was chaotic.

“Thank you.” Jeongyeon bowed. He approached Momo and sat down beside her. “Let’s go home.” He said and held her hand, leading her back to the car.

As they made their way back to the mansion, Jeongyeon returned the call to Junjin.

“Junjin, you called?”

“There are pictures of you and Ma’am circulating the web right now.”

“That … I’ll talk to my parents before releasing an official statement.” Jeongyeon replied.

“Will do.”
