Jieun had just come into the hotel, up to her room, taken her stuff, and left. That's what they told him. Clean, simple, confusing.

Jiyong paced in his room as he tried to call her again for the twentieth time. 

"You're going to burn a hole in the carpet," Seungri said. He and the other members were all sat around a little glass table in the balcony.

"I'm sure she's fine," Taeyang frowned at his friend's desperation, "Japan is practically her second home. I think she might spend more time here than in Seoul." He added.
