They were an hour away from Seoul when Ryohei's phone started to ring. He ignorged it but it ranged again so he had to check it. Sunny woke up right when he started to park the car to take the call.

"Are we back?" Sunny asked in her groggy voice.

"No, not yet." He said and signaled her to keep quite.

"Hyung? Where are you?" The man on the other side asked.

"I'm out somewhere. Why?" He answered.

"Who is it?" Sunny couldn't help but ask in a whisper.

"Dong Wook."  He answered the same.

"The phones been ringing since six in the morning and people have been looking for you and Sunny." He informed.

"We've all been trying to reach you and Sunny but you both haven't been answering." 

"We went out for a late night drink." He answered without a thought.

"Check your phone." He mouthed to Sunny.

"You - we - went out to drink?" He asked.

"Yes. Why?" He answered.

"You both went out to get a late night drink and what? Decided to stay there for the remaining hours?" He answered exasperated. "I'm passing the phone to someone else. She's one of Sunny's sisters and members. They've been looking for her since early this morning." He said.

Meanwhile, Sunny was looking for her phone but was unable to find it. She checked her pockets, Ryohei's jacket -in case she might have put it there, she checked her seat and under it and everywhere in the car but couldn't find it. 

"I don't have it. I think I must've left it in the shop or in the dorm." She whispered to Ryohei.

Ryohei was about to answer when he heard a voice on the phone.

"Annyeonhaseyo?" The voice belonged to a girl.

"Neh. Annyeonghaseyo." He answered.

"Neh. I'm Yoona from So Nyu Shi Dae. I'm one of Sunny unnie's friends. Is she with you?" Her voice sounded hoarse.

"Neh. She is."

"Can I please talk to her?" Her voice was shaky.

Ryohei handed the phone but Sunny backed away and refused. 

"I'm sorry she can't talk right now." He answered.

"Then can you please put it on speaker please." She sounded like she was crying.

Ryohei didn't hesitate or ask Sunny's permission before he turned it on speaker. "You're on speaker."

"U-unnie. Please come home. P-please." She was indeed crying.

"Yoona, give me the phone." A raspy voice took over.

"Lee Soon-kyu. Sunny-ah. Please. Come home and we'll talk about everything." The second voice asked.

Ryohei took a look at Sunny and saw that her eyes were distant again. She sat curled up biting her fingernail with eyes lost in space. It may have looked like she wasn't paying any attention or listening but her nerves showed otherwise. She was shaking as if she was out in the cold.

"Please. P-please talk to us." Her voice was shaky now.

"I'm sorry." Ryohei interrupted. "I don't think she'll be doing any talking at the moment." 

"Who is this?" The girl asked.

"Otani Ryohei-imnida. I'm of Sunny's housemate." He answered.

"Neh. I'm Tiffany one of the SNSD members and her friend. Please. I know we just met but I really need a favor." She begged.

"E-eoh. Okay."

"Please don't leave her alone. Stay by her side and I mean it literally." Tiffany's voice was shaky but the seriousness of her statement was there.

Ryohei sensed something when she pleaded. "I'm going to put the phone on hand-held and go outside for a bit. I think I need more info." He said and took the key to the car before heading out to take the private call. He was a few feet away from the car before taking the conversation again.

"Why do you need me to stay by her side?" I'm already by her side. He asked.

"Just please. Please stay by her side always." She begged him.

They're hiding something. "Please understand that I am already doing just that. And as you've asked me a favor, I also would like you to do me a favor and tell me the exact reason why you want me to stay by her side." He curiousity to find out was taking its toll.

"I-I can't tell you."

"Look. It doesn't work that way. Whatever this is, if you don't help me out here and tell me the reason. You and I know that." Ryohei was growing frustrated and he didn't bother to hide it.

"S-she." Tiffany hesitated. "She's still recovering from depression and- " She broke off.

Her sobbing intensified. He heard a door closing on the background so he thought that she must have gone somewhere private. Whatever it was that she was about to say, it must have been really private. 

"Depression and what?" Ryohei asked turning his back to the car.

He waited a minuted for a reply but the girl was still sobbing. 

"Look." He sighed. "Please. Please just relax for a minute. Take a deep breathe and tell me what it is."

He waited again before finally hearing her take a breather.

" - and has sui - suicidal tendency."

He stopped and his eyes just went far away.

"H-hello?" Tiffany woke him from his trance.

"N-neh?"

"Please. That's all I can tell you. If you want any more, it has to come from her. It has to come from Sunny." She said.

"N-neh. I'm with her." He said and the phone call ended.

He turned to look at the girl in the car only to see the passenger car door open and of course, Sunny was no where to be seen.
