Mission Impossible: BTS

Chapter 11: Finally, we are getting somewhere.

A/N- sorry for not updating sooner! thanks to @LlexieD for reminding me to post :) 

Can people actually die of embarrassment?

Everywhere I went, I could hear whispers talking about me and Jungkook. We couldn't even eat our lunch in peace since there were students taking pictures of us. I just decided to ignore all the squeals and camera shutters going off, though it did annoy me a lot. However, Jungkook started to act a little different towards me from before. Now he looks away whenever our eyes meet and the tips of his ears are always red. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he had poor blood circulation; maybe he should go to a doctor to get it checked out.

I stopped poking my lunch around and looked up at my team members. "Do you guys have any new information? Or find anybody who would know something?"

They all shook their heads and I sighed. It has already been 3 days, but this case is going nowhere.

"Alright, keep an eye out and try asking some of the students here; make sure you don't get caught." I told them.

Hours passed by and it was finally the last class of the day. I slunk into my seat and closed my eyes while trying to think of any clues that I might have missed regarding the candy drug.

"Is something wrong?" a voice asked me. I opened my eyes and it was Woozi, taking his seat beside me.

I shook my head. "Nah, just thinking about some stuff..." I replied.

"Well, maybe I can help. I'm told I'm a good listener, you know." he smiled at me with his crescent eyes.

Man, he really looks like a kitten.

I thought for a few seconds and decided, why not. "Well, I've heard that there's a new candy drug going around the school here, but I haven't seen anybody actually use it, so I don't know how to get a hold of one."

He stared blankly at me. "You mean the strawberry-flavored candy that everyone's been eating around here?" he asked.

My eyes widened. "You know which one I'm talking about? How can I get one?" I quickly questioned him in my excitement.

Woozi only shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. I've only seen the upperclassmen pass around some candy wrapped in pink wrapper." he replied.

My excitement deflated as my body sagged. "Oh I see.. Do you know the people that had those candy?" I asked dejectedly.

He looked up at the ceiling in thought then told me that he doesn't know their name but he can recognize their faces.

I smiled at the small sliver of hope. "Thanks, Woozi!" I chirped.

Woozi nodded, but then raised his eyebrows at me. "You're welcome, but I'm surprised. I didn't think YOU would be interested in taking drugs. You don't look like that type of person." he pointed out.

Crap.. what do I say?

"Haha, it's natural for a college student to be curious, right?" I suggested and I felt a bit bad for lying through my teeth but he seemed to buy my excuse anyways. Thankfully, he didn't have time to reply since the professor walked in just then and started the lecture. As I copied down the notes from the screen, I smiled to myself.

Finally, we are getting somewhere.

The next day, I was walking with Woozi and Jungkook during lunch to go look for those upperclassmen that Woozi saw pass around the candy drug.

"The last time I saw them, they were on the school rooftop. I think the stairs are around here somewhere..." Woozi told us as he searched around.

I peered around the corner and leaned to see if anybody was around. Suddenly, dear good ol' gravity decided to play tricks on me and I could feel myself falling forward as if in a slow motion. My eyes widened and my hands shot out in attempt to break my fall, but before I could make contact with the floor, a pair of arms held my sides and pulled me back.

"Are you ok?" He asked, holding out his hand for me to take.

I looked up and saw Woozi's small cat eyes staring back at me. I grinned and stood as he pulled me up.

"Thanks buddy! I owe ya one." I slung my arm over his shoulders and gave him a playful noogie. He just laughed and combed his hair with his fingers.

Suddenly, Jungkook cleared his throat rather very obnoxiously and we turned around to face him. His lips were smiling, but his eyes seemed like they were annoyed.

"Is something wrong, Jungkook?" Woozi asked with his widened eyes.

Jungkook opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but then promptly closed it. I think I even caught him rolling his eyes.

"Nothing you should concern yourself with." he replied coldly.

There was an awkward tension in the air and Woozi let out forced giggles while nervously meeting my eyes. "If you say so..."

Sighing, I reached out to grab both of their arms and dragged them behind me as we continued to look for the entrance to the rooftop. They can handle their drama somewhere else.

"Ah, here it is!" said Woozi as he pointed to a rusty door at the end of the hallway.

Jungkook stepped forward to grab the door handle and stepped aside. "Ladies first." he announced as he mockingly gestured to Woozi. 

Woozi frowned but went in first and started walking up the stairs. I moved closer to Jungkook and stared directly into his eyes. "Look, I don't known if you're on your man-period or something, but stop picking on the poor guy. He's like half your height and hes been nothing but nice to us. Not only that, he's given us critical clues to find out who the culprits are!" I whisper-scolded him.

"I just don't like him..." he murmured.

I just shook my head at how childish he was acting and left him behind as I walked up the stairs after Woozi. Soon enough, I heard Jungkook following me few steps behind.

When we reached the top, Woozi was already waiting for us at the last door. "Well, here we are!" he chirped.

I pulled open the door and stepped outside into the blinding sunlight. I squinted my eyes till they adjusted to the brightness and I saw a small group of tall guys standing around the edge. Their eyes immediately shifted to us, and I could hear Woozi gulping audibly next to me.

"Well look who it is! If it isn't the school-famous Transfer Couple and our favorite pet." one of the guys drawled, smiling widely. It would have been a nice smile,  if he had all of his teeth, that is.

"So what brings you to our humble place, hmm?" he continued as his eyes studied us.

Jungkook stepped forward. "We heard that there is a new drug going around in the form of a candy. And rumor has it that YOU guys have them. We wanted to know how we can get our hands on some." he explained.

Suddenly, the guy's eyes turned dangerously sharp and it was as if the temperature just dropped 20 degrees lower. "Who told you that?" he asked, taking slow, deliberate steps towards us. His deep voice sent chills down my spine.

I had a bad feeling about this...
