Is it true when they say ....
Whatever happens, happens for a reason.....???
A dark night ....it was past the peak hour.. so it was completely silent except the rustle sounds of vehicle that pass by now and then....
There stood a bulky physique figure waiting....
Jungkook
When will the cab come??
Jungkook
I should have just booked a whole cab.....
Jungkook
f***...my frugal-self, that showed up while booking...and automatically drifted towards opting car-pooling..
Jungkook
Now I have to wait until everyone before me is picked up... (pouts)
Jungkook
I wish it comes fast....
Just then a car came towards him... luckily it was his cab..., he immediately opened the back door of the cab to sit, as the front seats were occupied by driver and one more male.....
He saw a figure sitting at the other end, but not minding, he sat on the other end ......
He then turned towards the other side, to take a look at ....
but what he saw surprised him...
A figure sat with a mask on... looking outside the window,and also frequently looking at the front seats and surroundings,and fidgeting his fingers now and then, and also gripping his bag tightly, as if he was anxious....
That figure ,also turned towards jk.., that is when he is noticed those almond eyes..... they were scared....,unlike his usual dumb-self, he caught on quickly ,what the other was afraid of??...
That the almond-eyed was a female ore, well anyone could say that given the figure, but what was he fretting about??
Well, isn't him just being a female ore enough a reason to be perturbed about ???
A female ore was alone, in a cab, with other men, and cherry on top, it's almost midnight.....,which is embraced by silence, with no being found there.....
It felt serene and represented tranquility....
a perfect place for a hermit-dude to admire....
or a pathway for horror...
both spooky as well as crimes....
And who do you think the other is.....
Obviously it's our other lead
let's see what's he thinking
Taehyung
(sh!t sh!t sh!t.....)
Taehyung
(Why every bad thing has to happen to me today??? )
Taehyung
(First, my work, at café, was more than usual , boss didn't leave me early cuz customers kept rushing in....well it's unpleasant excluding the fact that I'll be paid more....)
Taehyung
(then I missed the last bus.., causing to book a cab... I thought that car pooling would help me save money as well as have more people like me to travel with... but how did I miss out the possibility that I would be the only one....)
Taehyung
(And to worsen it, now even phone went out of battery, that too when I was speaking with Eomma…, I'm sure a big pan is waiting for me... but for that I should be there .... I can take any beating once I reach safely....)
Taehyung
(Oh lord of strawberries!!! I'll give up one strawberry from the usual count… Please let me reach safely...)
Taehyung
(And what's with this creepy dude... why does he keep looking at me through the mirror or turning back...)
Yes, the man in the front kept gawking at tae, now and then....
Well, he was not the only one, a certain bunny guy was also staring at him, but maybe he didn't find that creepy or uncomfortable......
Jungkook
(Seems like he is frightened)
Jungkook
(Doesn't he know that it's unsafe for a female ore to be alone, especially at nights...or does he know to protect himself??)
Jungkook
(but judging from how he is tensed, maybe he doesn't.... (sighs))
But he snapped out of his thoughts....when he heard...
Driver
Sir, we reached your place (turning towards jungkook...)
Immersed in thoughts, he didn't realize how time flew, and he already reached his place....
Jungkook
(the driver doesn't seem like a good one !!!)
Jungkook
(that dude at the front doesn't look decent either....)
JK abruptly turned towards Tae and asked him something, startling the other....
Jungkook
Where do you have to go???...
Taehyung
(startled and scared) Huh!!!
Jungkook
I asked… Where do you have to get down..... ???
Taehyung
(gulps and says...) *******
Jungkook
(Sh!t, that place is almost 45 minutes from here....)
Jungkook
(What do I do?? Do I help or not, but if I do, it's already late, ...after dropping him at his place, I will have to take a detour back here, maybe by then it would be morning...and tomorrow I have office too.... I don't even know if this driver will again agree to drop me back, given the looks of him......)
(author's words-Of course, why would he?? when you would help his prey!!! you should be grateful if he doesn't beat you up...)
Jungkook
(but...) (looked towards tae...)(if my Minnie was in his place then.... Aaaagh.... f*** it, missing 6 hours of sleep, a day wouldn't matter much... Ig...)
Jungkook
(so be it, it's decided then...)I'm not getting down here.... Start the car...
Driver
Huh!!, but sir, your destination was this place, it's the same showing up....
Jungkook
So what??, now I changed my mind, just go ahead it's not like I'm asking to take a U-turn now!!!
Driver
Sir, but the price...
Jungkook
(looking at the driver 'Are you dumb?'face...)Are you serious dude, of course, I know it would cost more, you don't have to tell me!!! how much ever it is, I shall pay!!! it's not like I'm asking you to pay for me (snorts)... Just start the car...
Jungkook
(irritated) why do I feel like me being here might hinder your plans, and cuz of that your so keen on leaving me behind … Is it true??...
Driver
(visibly gulps)... N..o, n..o, S..ir(stutters)
Jungkook
then move ahead!!! And also no funny business here.... !!!..
Jungkook
Let me warn you!!, my live location is being shared to my police friend... if I don't call him and say my code words after I reach my place safely, then you and your front-seat mate will be chased by police and will be behind the bars in no-time....
The driver and the other male shared a glance and the other just nodded ,to which the driver returned the same...
Jungkook
Now, if you are done with your questions and got your answers, Can we leave???
The driver started driving...,and jk glanced at tae once, and just turned towards the window looking outside....
While there was tae... who was more than just relieved...
Now, he felt safe...and even before he could realize, the amount of anxiety he was in.. was completely subsiden, like it was never there before....
He kept glancing at kook , frequently if not looking at the view outside.....
He felt overwhelmed and he didn't know he was smiling whenever he saw his hero(Ahem!)beside him....
All these thoughts kept him busy..... that he didn't know when it was already past 50 minutes.and he had reached his place....
Driver
Sir, we have reached your place....
Jungkook
(sighed) ( We have reached... Now, Do I ask him to take me back,... will he agree,....Or will he not?? Should I try, but what about all that speech I did before??...)
Jungkook
(Well let's just ask.. there's no harm in trying!!!...)
Ahem!!! , Are you going back the way we have come??...
The driver looked at him like he was caught up with some madman ...
Driver came out of his thoughts and said
Driver
No sir... I have to go to ******(place after the present one)
Jungkook
(f*** ,I knew it)then will you drop me back...,if I ask??
Driver
Actually you and sir are the last ones after this ride ,my duty ends... ,I have already called off for the day in the app already..
Jungkook
What if u pay you more??
Driver
it's already late so I have to leave now to reach home....
Jungkook
(humph!!! I'm sure that would not have been your plan if I got down there.. )What about him then ??
Driver
Sir, he's my neighbour...
Jungkook
(sighs) I got it...
JK and tae got out of car...
Jungkook
How much is this Sir's? (pointing towards tae)...
Tae was surprised, maybe kook guessed that his phone was dead too....
Jungkook turned towards tae and forwarded his hand...
Taehyung nodded and gave him the money...
Kook turned towards driver and handed him the money...
Jungkook
Here's mine and this is his...
Kook turned towards tae.. who was fiddling his hands nervously....
Jungkook
How far is your home from here?? Can you go alone or should I walk you home???....
Obviously, he had to ask, lest he would make the little puppy like kid, uncomfortable and mistake him for a stalker and beat him up...
Well, tae was already more than just comfortable, when kook helped him before....now it would be weird if he felt unsafe now....
Taehyung
It's past that street light...
He saw the surroundings, and sighed....decided to walk him home, well he was late anyways...
Tae didn't know he was feeling all happy and overjoyed by the unknown's kindness....
Taehyung
Thanks (voice which was lower than the sound of a drop of a pin left his beautiful lips...)
And fortunately or unfortunately, the bunny with his bunny ears had heard it.... and returned with....
Now what do you think will happen???
Is it going to end or is it gonna be the start of something...
