A male waiter walked to the bar where Onew was currently making drinks for some customers when his phone rang. He put his tray on the counter and fished for his cell phone in his pocket. “Yeoboseyo?” He asked into the phone after seeing a very familiar but slightly painful name come up on his caller ID.

“Jjong? Oppa!” A feminine voice yelled in his ear. Jonghyun furrowed his eyebrows.

“SeKyung? What happened?” Onew heard the name and looked up to raise an eyebrow at his friend. Jonghyun and SeKyung dated a year or so ago. They decided to call it quits since she was an actress and she had to keep traveling to shoot films and they wouldn’t have enough time to physically be together. It ended on good terms, but he did miss her sometimes.

“Oppa! It’s… It’s Kang Sora! We’re in an asylum trying to get some experience of how some of the patients act… But… Something happened while we were watching and the last thing we knew, some random person grabbed Sora and she’s now being held hostage!” SeKyung yelled into the phone, panicking and not knowing what to do to help her friend.

“…Bwoh?” Jonghyun asked not believing his ears.

“Jjong! Sora’s gone! A patient is holding her captive! Help us!” The words instantly processed in his mind.

“! SeKyung! Are you okay?! Did this just happen now?! Hang on! I’m going to put you on speakerphone in front of the boss!” Jonghyun yelled into the phone. Onew tensed up at the sudden change in reaction. “Amber! Henry! Cover for me!” He yelled out before making a dash to the back hall.

“Jonghyun! What’s going on?!” Onew yelled out before the other made a step into the hallway.

Jonghyun quickly turned around. “Hyung! Call Leeteuk-hyung! It’s Kang Sora!” The club workers froze as they heard his panicked voice through the earpieces. Onew went to quick work to call his beloved hyung.

Jonghyun ran up the stairs and decided to call his other hyung before going to see his boss. He ran into the room he knew Key and Yunho were in fixing the other members who were injured during the last mission. “Yunho-hyung!” He saw Yunho turn to him.

“What is it, Jonghyun?” All Jonghyun could do was wave his phone in the air, panting.

“It’s SeKyung! I’m going to the boss right now! We need you and Leeteuk-hyung!” He said in one breath before slamming the door shut and running into the boss’ office.

Yunho looked to Key who looked worried. “Why is SeKyung calling him all of a sudden? They broke up a while back…” The latter muttered then he realized. “…He needs you and Leeteuk-hyung?” He paused.

“Why does he need us if his ex is calling him?” Yunho asked, finishing up the stitches on Taecyeon’s back.

“…Because it might have to do with Kang Sora…” Key finished, knowing how his hyung and the other actress were in that awkward ‘I like you, but you probably don’t like me’ stage. He furrowed his eyebrows. “Hyung. Follow Jjong in there. I’ll help Sunny-noona.” Yunho just nodded confusedly and walked out of the room and into the main office. He walked in to hear SeKyung talking quickly through the cell phone.

“We were walking around and visiting some of the patients in this insane asylum for a movie we were filming together to get an idea of how our characters should act as patients… But then… one of the patients came up behind us and quickly grabbed Kang Sora… Our managers couldn’t stop him from taking her but got me out before he decided to take me too… I don’t know where he went… They have the whole place on lockdown trying to get her out… I didn’t know what to do then I remembered Jjong worked for you guys… Please help me!” SeKyung finished her rushed speech on speakerphone as the boss, the secretary, Jonghyun, and Yunho waited and the latter two watched to see what the former would say.

“Jonghyun. Onew already called Leeteuk, right?”

Jonghyun nodded, panicking on what to do to help his, now, friend. “Neh. He’s on his way.” Onew responded from downstairs.

“SeKyung. Which institution are you at?”

“We’re all waiting outside Sunny Hill Hospital. I begged the managers and staff to not call the police. I told them that there would be people other than them coming to help us…” SeKyung paused for a little bit over the phone.

Yunho looked to their boss and the secretary with a questioning look. “…Jjongie…” Jonghyun turned his attention away from their boss and looked at his cell phone still on speaker. He clicked it off speaker.

“Boss-sshi… I’ll be outside. Let me know what you want us to do.” The boss nodded as Jonghyun put his phone up to his ear and tried to console the girl. “…SeKyung… Don’t worry… We’ll get her…” He walked outside of the room before the other three people in the room could hear them anymore. He took out his earpiece as he walked out.

Yunho turned to his boss. “Boss? That’s still a little weird calling you that…” The three people in the room chuckled at his comment. After they settled down after a minute or two, the elder man turned serious. “What are we going to do? Leeteuk will definitely want to go. Same with Jonghyun.”

The boss thought for a few minutes. They needed more experienced members. This was a big case. That hospital is one of the top places in South Korea with more severe patients. “Sulli and Krystal. Shindong… and Tiffany. Those who are here need to call those who aren’t. Onew has already called Leeteuk, and he is undoubtedly almost here. Yunho. You and Jonghyun need to calm him down when he gets here. I know he will go crazy even if he hasn’t openly admitted it yet.” The boss chuckled before hearing Zhou-mi’s voice through the earpiece.

“Boss. What’s going on?”

The boss looked to the other two men in the room. “There’s a sudden mission that was called in by Jonghyun’s friend. We’re taking it because it definitely involves Leeteuk. We need to get to Kang Sora before anything drastic happens.”

“Where’s Kang Sora?!” They heard a voice yell out through the earpiece.

Amber watched downstairs as Leeteuk came in yelling out his question. “Oppa! Calm down! We’ll get to her!” She yelled out as Tiffany quickly handed her headsets to Taemin and ran after her oppa up the stairs to the VIP area.

“Oppa!”

“Hyung!” Jonghyun yelled out after seeing Leeteuk run up the stairs.

Leeteuk quickly saw his dongsaeng and took long strides towards him. He grabbed his shoulders and started shaking him. “Jonghyun! Where’s Sora?! Is she safe?!”

Jonghyun could see the fear and love his hyung had for the younger woman and tried his best to console him. “Hyung… She’s at Sunny Hill Hospital…” He saw Leeteuk gasp. “SeKyung said that their managers didn’t know what happened… Somebody just ran and grabbed her… The managers got SeKyung out before she was taken next…”

Leeteuk understanding everything, growled before striding into the boss’ office, not caring who was still in there. “Boss! What are we doing?! We need to go get her!”

The boss sighed, upset as well. “I know, Leeteuk. Calm down. You’re just going to run in there and attack every person you see.”

Leeteuk growled again and ran his head through his hair, not knowing what to do. “Boss… Can I please go there already? I’ll take Jonghyun with me.” He pleaded.

The boss frowned. “I’ll let you go ahead, Leeteuk. I’m worried for her too. Take Jonghyun and Sulli with you. They will give you back up until the others are ready.”

Leeteuk nodded and went to go get his stuff. Yunho turned back to the boss with a worried look. “I’ll go get ready and wait for Shindong, Krystal, and Tiffany too.” He turned around to walk out.

“Hurry up and follow after the other three. Let me know if you need more agents.”

Yunho turned around to nod then walked back out.
