CHAPTER: EIGHT

✩

Jungkook couldn't help but notice the extra tight security at the station. Usually, they only scan the bags, and do a body search once at the front gate. However, today, they had go through two security checks at the station. 

Also, the special terminal, meant exclusively for extraterrestrial species was more crowded than usual. He narrowed his eyes towards the terminal separated by glass. Frowning when he realized, the crowd was mostly of a couple specific species.  He tried to recall if there was something important. Or if, some important to supposed to visit Seoul. However, in the end he couldn't think of anything of sort. It was just another normal day so it didn't make sense as to why the security doubled all of a sudden. 

'Are they trying to catch someone?' He thought, picking up his bag once it rolled out of the scanner. 

His eyes travelled through the crowd once again in search of his friends. His frown deepen when he couldn't find them at first. 'Namjoon hyung is six feet, why I can't I see him?'

In the end, he spotted them. All because it was easy to notice Yoongi's electric blue hair, and Jimin's pink hair. He scanned his ticket at the terminal gate, before walking past the door, where his friends were waiting for him. 

"How long before the train arrives?" He asked, glancing at the wall clock hanging from one of the pillars. 

"Ten to fifteen minutes." Namjoon answered. Jungkook and looked around him once again. Usually, whenever he travelled, he'd be listening to music while he waited. But today, his phone was in his bag, and so he had to wait till he could get up on the train and fish it out. And so with nothing to keep him engaged, he was getting all fidgeting. Especially because of the crowd around him. 

He tried to think of something to distract him. But all in vain. Sighing, he once again resorted to looking around. Hoping something would catch his attention for the next ten to fifteen minutes. Though it doubted he could find something-

"Ugh, I don't understand why they had to double the security. Because of it I'm late for my work pretty much everyday."

Jungkook shifted a little so that he could hear the conversation better. Two men, a little to his left, were the ones he had heard. 

"Yeah, me too. Seriously, getting yelled at my boss first thing after stepping into the office makes me mad for the rest of the day."

"I don't understand why the security doubled for daily commute as well. Like, what are they even trying to find?"

"A criminal, I guess."

"This has been going on for a month now. I don't think the criminal is going to dumb enough to hide here for so long."

"Was there any official declaration? Like, it's same pretty much everywhere."

"None that I know about. Also, what's all the mass alien transportation about?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Well, it's just that. Recently, the number of aliens using the train in the morning has increased a lot. There, take a look. That terminal barely had any use before."

"Yeah... I don't think I've seen that terminal so crowded before."

Jungkook looked up when he heard the announcement chime. 

"Ladies and Gentlemen, this information is for the passengers waiting at terminal five. Train 1145 service to Busan has been delayed by twenty minutes due to technical issue. We apologize for the delay."
