Shaoqing was getting more and more annoyed the longer his phone was out of service. In fact, no one could get any service. Shaoqing felt like crying. It's been a day since he had talked to Everett and he was starting to get anxious. He didn't know what was happening with him, and it's been four days since he last heard from Seiji. He could feel his eyes watering up.
"Shaoqing, what's wrong?" Xiumin asked, handing over a bottle of water. Shaoqing gratefully took it, taking a large sip before finally speaking.
"I… I'm really worried about Seiji," Shaoqing said. "It's been a few days since we talked, and now I can't even contact him."
"He'll be okay," Xiumin said. "Seiji is strong, remember?"
"He is," Shaoqing said, nodding his head a few times. "You're right. He has a lot of people helping him."
