The Shadow's Oracle// A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 27

"206, 208... ah 210." Lexi mumbled under her breath, pulling her car into the designated spot. She looked at the house that stood before her. It was rather small, but big enough for someone to live comfortably. Not too lavish yet not rundown either. To anyone on the outside, it was a normal house with normal people living inside.

Her thoughts came to a halt as she stood in front of the door. She felt her heart beating as she released the breath she had been holding and knocked on the door.

Lexi chewed the inside of her cheek, waiting impatiently. Each second she had to wait felt like an eternity, especially with the time crunch they were on. She found herself looking every which way to pass the time.

After a few minutes, the door slowly creaked open. A tall figure stood in the doorway, silent as they just peered out at her.

"Listen, we don't have much time to waste and we really need your help," Lexi pleaded with the man before her, breaking the uneasy silence the night brought with it.

The figure sighed and stepped out into the moonlight, "Weird that you come to me, but consider me intrigued. I'm listening."

"We're stopping?" Soobin questioned as they pulled into some rundown motel parking lot. They were on a rather long strip of road, this place being the first place they had seen in a few hours.

Yoongi shrugged, turning off the car, "I'm used to staying awake throughout the night, but a lot happened before I got called in. As much as I want to keep driving, I'd hate for our end to be met by me falling asleep while behind the wheel." He spoke as he opened the door and slung his bag over his shoulder, "Plus it'll be good to know at least some of what you're getting into before we get back."

Soobin watched as Yoongi climbed out of the driver's seat and slammed the door behind him. The last of his words left him undoubtably concerned and intrigued. There wasn't much that could surprise him after the life he found himself in.

It took Soobin a moment to register what had happened, but when he did, he also noticed the older man didn't wait for him. Instead, he entered through the front of the building. He assumed it was to negotiate a room for the night. Soobin scrambled out of the car, trying to catch up to the man. By the time he made it close to the front door, Yoongi had walked back out of the building to find their motel room.

"Thought you got lost." Yoongi raised an eyebrow at the other as he almost ran into him on the way out of the reception area.

"What do you mean? I already know what I'm in for, what more could you add to this fucked up job?" Soobin ignored the man's comment, curiosity consuming him as to what the man meant from before. Yoongi looked around at the dozens of rooms and possible people that surrounded them before he continued walking down the dimly lit sidewalk of the motel as he searched for their room number.

"Don't you think this conversation is more suited to be had in the confines of a room, where no one else can hear us? Maybe it's just me and my years of experience or something." Yoongi whispered, eyes still scanning the numbers as he walked by.

The two came to a stop in front of a motel room. Yoongi opened the door quickly and strode in without a glance, kicking off his shoes in the process. When Soobin entered, he looked around, unimpressed. There were two twin beds, a small coffee table, and an old box set TV.

Yoongi threw his bag next to one of the beds before sitting down. He sighed and rested his back against the headrest and let himself stretch.

Soobin sat down on the other bed, letting his head hit the pillow, "Can you tell me now what I need to be prepared for?"
