Ten minutes felt like ten seconds.
They burst through the hotel lobby, took the elevator up in complete silence. Haejin's hand found hers and squeezed tight.
When the elevator doors opened, Manager Park was already waiting in the hallway outside her room.
So were Doyun, Minjae, Taekyung, and Jisoo. All looking confused and worried.
Daehyun too. And two other staff members.
"What's going on?" Haejin asked immediately.
Manager Park looked at all of them gathered there. "Inside. Now. We need to talk."
They filed into Soorin's room. Everyone finding seats wherever they could. Couch. Chairs. Edge of the bed.
Manager Park closed the door and locked it.
"Alright," he said, setting his tablet down. "I know calling an emergency meeting this late is dramatic. But I needed everyone together before tomorrow."
"Is something wrong?" Soorin asked, her stomach still churning.
