I only chose this song because it's chapter seventeen

"Welcome back- oh my god what happened to Yeji and Riki!?" Jisoo said.

Yeji had a bandage on her arm and Ni-Ki was drenched in water and iced tea and a plaster on his nose.

"We were arguing with Iseul and then her fan club started to attack us." Ni-Ki explained.

"If we didn't attack them back our injuries would've been worser." Yeji added.

"I'm very sorry. You guys were telling her to leave me alone while she was being possessive over me." Hyunjin apologised, despite the situation not being his fault.

"It's not your fault Hyun." Yeji said. She took off her shoes and went up to her room. Ni-Ki did the same except he went to the bathroom.

"Hey Seungmi- huh? Where did he go?" Hyunjin said to himself. He swore that he was walking next to him back home.

He took out his phone to call him. No response. He tried again. No response. What happened to Seungmin?

Third times the charm and yet again, no response from the puppy like boy. Hyunjin started to get worried.

Maybe he just went to Jeongin's house Hyunjin thought to himself.

I.N you😉

And that's what Hyunjin did. First he decided to ask Hanni since he knows her the most and she's the first person Seungmin talked with.

Hyunjin sighed and decided to text Kenny. He only knew him because of Hyuk. And remember when I said he did a group project with Hanni once? Yes Hyuk was in the group too.

Hyunjin turned off his phone and changed into his normal clothes before going to Iseul's house. Unfortunately, he doesn't know her address. And neither does Kenny.

•—•—•—•—•—•

Seungmin was thrown in Iseul's clean basement. Iseul didn't like messy rooms so the basement was cleaner than her own mind.

Seriously a basement? How boring Seungmin thought to himself as he yawned. He looked around and saw a boy around his age, cuddling himself while he's shivering.

Seungmin stood up and went to the poor guy. He had dried tears on his cheeks and no shoes on. Luckily he had socks on.

"Hey are you okay?" Seungmin asked softly. The boy look up but looked at his knees again. He tried hard not to cry in front of him.

"What's your name?" Seungmin asked again. The boy didn't look up but he responded to the question.

"Zha-Zhang Hao..." he muttered. Seungmin recognised the name from somewhere but he didn't know where.

Zhang Hao looked at Seungmin. His eyes widened and let go of his knees.

"Seungmin? Is that you?"

Seungmin then recognised the voice. He and Zhang Hao used to be friends when they were younger. They still were but Zhang Hao just suddenly disappeared.

Seungmin smiled and they both hugged each other. Zhang Hao told Seungmin about how much he missed his friends and that he wants to see them again.

"So how did you get here?"

Zhang Hao cleared his throat before explaining the whole story.

"So before I met my current friends I had these two friends called Adam and Kojiro. They weren't homophobic since Kojiro has a boyfriend called Kaoru but Adam likes younger boys. Adam dared me to date Iseul, even though I'm gay. Even though I refused he just went up to Iseul with me and told her that I loved her."

"Wait so was Adam a fake friend or what?"

"Yes he was but Kojiro was cool and was against the dare too."

"Ohh okay. Continue on."

"Turns out she liked me. We started hanging out and she was nice. But as time went by she started being an asshole. I wanted to talk to Adam and Kojiro about it but they transferred to Kaoru's school. After some time I broke up with Iseul. But one day I was walking home and I was dragged here. She didn't do anything horrible to me since I dated her long enough to know she would never do that kind of shit. But after a while she lost interest in me. Plus it's so cold down here and there's no blankets."

"So how did you meet your current friends?"

"Iseul wasn't in one day because she was sick so I talked with Jiah for a bit. That's when I met Ricky and Taerae and they introduced me to their group of friends. And by now, Jiwoong has already graduated. Jiah is also friends with them but secretly. She told them what happened to me."

"How long have you been down here for?"

"About three years."

Seungmin choked on his own saliva, "How did you survive!?"

"Jiah secretly gave me meals. She's like a sister to me."

•—•—•—•—•—•

"Kang Iseul are you fucking insane!?" Jiah exclaimed, "you already have one boy in your basement!"

Jiah has never used Iseul's full name before so if kind of scared her.

"And I don't plan on letting him out anytime soon! I'm just surprised he's not dead!"

"Iseul can you please let them out? He's been in there for three years."

Iseul tried hard not to look at Jiah. She knew she couldn't say no to her.

"Fine. But I'm NOT letting Seungmin out."

"Why-"

"It's either I let Zhang Hao out or none of them out okay!"

Jiah sadly smiled, "Okay. thank you Iseul."

They both walked to the basement with the key. Iseul did think about letting Zhang Hao out a few days ago but forgot to.

She unlocked the basement and walked down the stairs. She saw Seungmin and Zhang Hao talking with each other.

"Zhang Hao."

Zhang Hao stood up and faced Iseul.

"You can go now."

"Really? Thank you! But what about Seungmin?"

"He's staying. Now go before I force you to get out."

"But-"

Iseul got mad and dragged Zhang Hao out. She may look weak but she's actually quite strong.

Jiah looked at Seungmin with a sad look on her face and walked out. Seungmin knew that Jiah felt bad for him and didn't blame her.

He tried to use his phone but the battery was dead so he couldn't use it. And Zhang Hao was right. It is cold in the basement.

•—•—•—•—•—•

Hyunjin was drinking lemonade out of the strawberry glass he bought for Seungmin. He gave up on finding Iseul's house after two hours of searching.

Dahyun saw Hyunjin and went to sit next to him. She knew why he was in that state and tried comforting him.

"Maybe unblock that Iseul girl's friend? From what I've heard they've been friends for a really long time."

"I'll do it tomorrow. I've been out running around for two hours. I'm exhausted."

Dahyun nodded and left the room. She misses him too and has informed the police about it but she doesn't know if they'll actually try.

~~~~

It has been three days since the disappearance of Kim Seungmin. Hyunjin had just finished the school day and went to sit in the living room.

A knock was heard on the door. Ni-Ki answered the door to a boy who was out of breath.

"Hello does Hwang Hyunjin live here?"

"Yeah he does. HYUNJIN SOMEONE IS HERE FOR YOU GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW." Ni-ki said calmly.

Hyunjin walked up to where Ni-ki is and saw the boy standing outside.

"Sorry who are you?"

"My name is Zhang Hao and I know where Kim Seungmin is."
