Risky Masquerade

Seokjin worriedly checked the time.
It had been a couple of hours since Jungkook and Yoongi left, and they didn't seem to show any sign of returning soon.

Cursing under his breath for sending his youngest subordinate alone with a man who was almost a stranger, an exorcist at that, he felt uncomfortable and ashamed of his shrewdness.

"I think we should get to the Red Palace as soon as we can.", Seokjin told Namjoon who raised an eyebrow.

"You think something's gone wrong?", Namjoon asked, perplexed.

"Its been too long. They have been gone for five hours already.", the leader of the task force explained. "I don't know about Yoongi, but I'm worried about Jungkook. We must ensure his safety."

Namjoon nodded his head, and promptly got up from his workstation just as he was interrupted by the terrifying sound of thunder. Lightning criss-crossed the Prussian Blue sky. The electricity went out, petrifying Seokjin and Namjoon.

"Not a great time for the electricity to go out!", Jungkook entered the police facility, his sarcastic tone washing his superiors with a wave of relief.

"This seems like a movie!", Jungkook laughed as Seokjin and Namjoon smiled at him.

Yoongi quietly stood at the entrance of the facility, his neck craned upwards at the sky and the rain clouds which shadowed its bluish hues. His eyes bore an unearthly glint which was difficult to put into words.

"Yoongi-ssi, come on in. Let's have some coffee.", Namjoon suggested.

Yoongi looked conflicted. "I-uh. I have to be somewhere. Please excuse me. I'll see you tomorrow.", he quickly slipped away.

"Beware of the storm!", Jungkook cried out.

"That's strange.", Namjoon spoke up.
"What could have been so important that Yoongi left in the middle of a storm?"
