Quiver | Jungkook Fanfic (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter Seven

Opening the door, I'm immediately facing the sleeping Taehyung and Cathy. I clear my throat, hoping to wake them up.

"Hey! Psst! Guys, guys? HEY!"

At the last word, Cathy snaps up, eyes wide. "Oh, help! Good, great, biscuit, yeah!"

"Er- yeah. How'd you two end up here?" I ask, confused. A mischevious, devilish grin stretches across my face. "Oh, I see. Cathy-ah and Taehyung-ssi? Who'd have guessed?"

"N-No- what?" Cathy exclaims, perplexed. "Oh. Oh! No, you've got it wrong-"

"Save it," I chuckle, interrupting. "Besides, you two make a cute couple, now that I think about it. Don't worry though, I won't tell." I place a finger over my lips and wink at her, chuckling.

"I-I-um," Cathy stammered, seemingly speechless for the first time ever. "Dino nuggets."

"Well, you ought to wake up your boyfriend, you two have had your fun," I grin. "You still have to get to class, right?"

"Oh, yes," Cathy mumbles absentmindedly. She shakes Taehyung awake, and he grumbles, slowly opening his eyes and peering up at Cathy.

"What?" he grumbled, rubbing his eyes as he sat up. Once he catches sight of me, his eyes light up, and he scrambles over. "Oh, thank God." Ouch. Gee, Taehyung, way to be indirectly rude to your soulmate.

I wince as Taehyung goes over to me, grabbing his backpack. "Thanks so much for letting us out. I was actually starting to think we'd be stuck here for the night."

"Now that's ridiculous," I huff, holding the door open for the two of them. "Now, c'mon, you two ought to get out already before someone thinks you're up to no good."

"Thank you again," Taehyung nods, escaping the room quickly.

My eyes trail after the boy as he leaves, and I turn back to Cathy, noticing the small frown placed on her lips. "Something on your mind?" I say suggestively, knowing she was probably thinking back to something Taehyung said.

"Global warming being caused by aliens, if you must know," Cathy mumbles, making her way out. "Also the fact aliens are probably just humans from the future who time traveled back here."

I'm momentarily stunned, but simply shrug it off. "Sure, that's plausible. But why did the appearance alter? I mean now they're known for huge heads and green skin."

"Perhaps we evolved," Cathy says whimsically. "I mean we evolved from the same ancestor as monkeys."

I shrug. "Maybe."

Cathy stares at me for a moment, and grabs her bag, taking out her cards and staring down at them.

"What are those by the way?" I say. "I mean... what's your fortune? Or however they work."

"You really want to know?" Cathy asks me.

"I don't see the harm," I laugh. "I'd love to know my own future anyways, to be frank."

"Maybe I'll take you to someone who can read yours," she says. "But I don't think I can show you exactly what my cards mean... I've got to go to class. And later on, I'm going to see how long I can hang upside down like a bat."

"Good luck with that," I nod, watching as she scurries past me.

Before long I'm back to Jungkook in the security room, and true to his word, the old man's body was gone.

My brows jump. "Wow, you really got rid of him. Throw him in the incinerator?"

"More like the trunk of your car," Jungkook smirks.
