Dead

(On her way home from the hospital, Lynnon offered just to get a taxi because she didn't want to risk any of the team members finding out she lived in the same apartment as Ezekiel. She gets out and makes her way up to the room. She gets there and just chills, relaxing on the couch basically unable to do anything with the pain and swollen ankle. She decided not to tell Ezekiel until he came back since she wanted him to have a good time in Seoul even if it was only for work. As she sat there, she had no idea what was happening before. Fumiko followed her nearly the whole time until she entered the apartment. She tried to hide, trying not to make it seem like she was a stalker though she WAS stalking Lynnon. Fumiko's eyes widened when she saw Lynnon enter the room. Not everyone but fans like Fumiko knew Ezekiel Imai, THE Ezekiel Imai lived in this building. With the information she had gotten from other people, there is NO WAY she just coincidentally lived in the same building as him. They had to live together Fumiko thought, and though it wasn't confirmed, it was the truth)

Fumiko-" Wow! This just makes my little prank even better"

(Fumiko looks down at her phone and it lights up)

Fumiko-" Now just to find out when he's coming back. Time to look at some flights"

(Once at home, Fumiko looks at the flights from Seoul to Tokyo alone in her room. She makes sure to do research on incognito mode so no one could see what she was doing. She cancels out a lot of their flights basing it on what airlines Light Entertainment usually uses and the times they would leave/arrive. To be honest, Fumiko was dedicated to playing this PRANK on Lynnon. She came up with two different flights that could be possible candidates and it was bad because one of them WAS Ezekiel's flight. She decided to pull the prank in-between the flight times so either way, she would have a good chance at it working out. She would wait till tomorrow night approached for her to finally pull it off. Suddenly Ezekiel wakes up to a knock on his door)

Ezekiel-" Ugh what now?"

(He sits up and walks to the door. He opens to see Etsuko, again in another cute outfit. She wore a cropped, light pink, knitted sweater along with it darker pink skirt. She had a white handbag and white slip-ons. Her face immediately goes red when she sees Ezekiel... with no shirt. Though she was flustered, her eyes were glued onto his abs and pecks)

Etsuko-" M-Mr. Imai?! You- You're. You don't have a... um a shirt"

(Ezekiel looks down at himself though it didn't really change anything. He looks back up confused)

Ezekiel-" Yeah? I just woke up. Am I not allowed to sleep in comfort?"

Etsuko-" Does that mean I woke you up?! I'm sorry!"

Ezekiel-" Yeah. Sure did. What did you need?"

Etsuko-" I was seeing if you maybe changed your mind about sightseeing? We leave tonight so this would be the only time we get to..."

Ezekiel-" I said I'd pass yesterday"

Etsuko-" Right! I-I know"

Ezekiel-" Then that's my answer?"

(Etsuko clenches her handbag)

Etsuko-" Yeah, sorry"

(Ezekiel notices her, still looking at his torso)

Ezekiel-" Is my BODY in your interest Etsuko?"

(Etsuko looks up at him, red-faced. She didn't know what to say to him)

Ezekiel-" It's inappropriate to be looking at your co-worker like that, and it's rude as a person in general too"

Etsuko-" I-I... I'm just gonna-"

(Etsuko points with her thumb behind her)

Etsuko-" I'll see you tonight"

(Etsuko leaves as Ezekiel rolls his eyes and closes the door. Night comes and Ezekiel sends a text to Lynnon as he sits down in his seat in first class)

[We're taking off. I'll be home soon]

Ezekiel-" Finally..."

(It was really late. It wasn't even the same day. It was exactly 1:12 in the morning but because of it, Ezekiel couldn't sleep since he was already awake. At home, Lynnon was asleep so she didn't look at the text but that wasn't the only thing that came to her that night. Two and a half hours go by after Ezekiel's text, before Lynnon's phone begins to ring. At first, Lynnon doesn't wake up and the ringing stops but nearly a second after it starts again. Lynnons groans and looks to her right at her phone on the nightstand. She looks at the contact)

[Hikaru]

Lynnon-" What the hell? Why is he calling me so late?"

(Lynnon ignores the phone call and lays her head back down. Again the ringing turns off then comes back on right after)

Lynnon-" Jeez!"

(Lynnon sits up and turns on her side lamp which was connected to the wall. She grabs her phone and answers)

Lynnon-" Go to sleep Hikaru!"

Fumiko-" Hikaru's BEEN asleep"

(Lynnon wasn't familiar with the voice but she could take a guess)

Lynnon-" Fumiko? What are you calling me for? And on Hikaru's phone to add"

Fumiko-" Oh I have such bad news for you sweetie"

Lynnon-" Ugh, what? Could you make it quick, It's late"

Fumiko-" I'm sorry to tell you but something has happened to Ezekiel's flight"

Lynnon-" What?"

(Lynnon finally fully wakes up, paying attention to what Fumiko had to say. It was bad news but she didn't believe it straight away)

Fumiko-" I heard something happened to your dear Ezekiel's flight. I'm watching it on TV"

Lynnon-" You're lying... and how do you even know that Ezekiel was on a plane in the first place? I'm checking"

(Lynnon gets up and grabs her crutches, she walks a bit before Fumiko says something that stops her)

Fumiko-" I wouldn't be trying to move so much. Especially with that ankle of yours"

(Lynnon became surprised and scared that Fumiko brought up her injury)

Lynnon-" I don't know what you're talking about"

Fumiko-" Oh please. I saw you"

(Lynnon gulps)

Fumiko-" Plus you shouldn't need to look at the news for THESE news. I'm sure if you and Ezekiel are SO close he would text you when he takes off and when he lands, am I right?"

(Lynnon just listens to her in disbelief)

Fumiko-" Well if you really want to know, his plane was meant to land...

(Fumiko looks in the corner of her computer screen and checks the time)

Fumiko-" 20 minutes ago? Maybe more?"

(Lynnon's eyes widen before rapidly looking through her contacts. She scrolls down to Ezekiel and enters text messages. His last text was the one he sent at 1:12)

[We're taking off. I'll be home soon]

(In her mind. Lynnon slowly began to believe Fumiko. Her eyes begin to water)

Fumiko-" So tell me. Have you heard the door in that apartment of yours open yet? Or should I say HIS apartment?"

(Lynnon was even more surprised that the Fumiko knew her secret. Fumiko began to act sad, trying to make her story more believable)

Fumiko-" His plane has failed Lynnon. It's off the grid...

He's DEAD
