The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 14

"What the fuck!?" A bewildered Jungkook shouted, making all heads turn to him. The words 'YOU LOSE' spread across the screen, seemingly mocking the poor man on such a special day.

"Listen Kookie, just because you have a shitty arm doesn't mean I will go easy on you." A chuckling Lexi stated beside him. After weeks of not being able to hunt or do much of anything he loved, Jungkook finally had the chance to go out and do something. His head wound healed without any complications and now his arm was almost completely healed, but still out of commission. With his mood down recently, it felt like the perfect time to not only celebrate his birthday, but his slow recovery as well.

"If my arm wasn't messed up, I would have won and you know it." Jungkook grumbled, "And you could've at least let me win one game for my birthday party." He stated, getting up from the frustrating game.

"Oh please," Lexi said, getting up and walking with him to their table, "You would kill me if I go easy on the Jeon Jungkook." She chuckled, slinging an arm around his shoulder, and straining on her tiptoes just to reach him. A small smile formed on Jungkook's once pouting lips as he nodded and sat down at the table next to a spaced-out Kaitlyn and a smug looking Yoongi drinking his usual coffee.

They had a private room to themselves, a big brown table sat in the middle with red chairs around it. The walls of the room were dark as night. Neon blue, pink, and purple lights danced on the ceiling bathing the room in a colorful brightness. A small banner hung above the table that said 'Happy Birthday.' It was nice and simple, because they all knew Jungkook would spend more time out playing games than in the room.

Jungkook gently nudged Kaitlyn to get her attention, "Kate we haven't played anything yet."

Jungkook whined to her like a child; Kaitlyn jumped slightly at the sudden attention, she hadn't been the most present at the party mentally. She turned to the birthday boy and smiled softly at the glint of happiness in his eyes.

"Alright I'll let you pick a game, and we can play." Kaitlyn stated happily, gaining some energy from Jungkook, "But after this next game we are going to figure out what we all want to eat."

Another pout found its way onto Jungkook's lips, "But Jimin isn't here yet, we have to wait for him."

Jungkook had his puppy dog eyes out, wanting his only friend outside of the hunters to come. Over the past few weeks, as he recovered, Jungkook and Jimin had been becoming close, mainly through texting and getting to know each other.

A groan escaped Lexi's lips, "I can't believe you invited him." She mumbled quietly, having enough of seeing Jimin not only at school, but also in her dreams. She felt someone kick her from under the table. She groaned and looked up, meeting the cold glare only Yoongi could give. Another sigh escaped her as she shut her mouth.

"It's Jungkook's birthday party, he can invite whoever he wants." Yoongi said sternly and reclined in the chair. The click of the door closing made everyone turn their heads to the entrance only to see a small girl with a nervous, almost embarrassed face.

Yuri stood, staring at the group as she walked over and whispered out a small 'hello.'

Kaitlyn smiled, stood up, and hugged the girl, "I'm so glad you made it!" she said to her. Lexi looked at the two uncomfortably. It had been weeks since her and Yuri even spoke to each other, class had been filled with awkward glances and uncomfortable silences. Lexi wasn't excited that this was going to continue into her personal time as well. It's not like she hated the girl, she truly did want her friend back, but that would just put her back in harm's way.

'But that was for the best right? It would keep her out of this world that would put her at risk.' Lexi had thought to herself.

Once you see a glimpse there is no going back, you of all people should know that. Lexi heard a voice tell her.
