Chapter Eight: Cheeky Smiles

I quickly grabbed my bag and phone before exiting my apartment. I had woken up early today because I wanted to meet up with some friends who I think will be a great asset to the team. By team I mean the group of people I was gathering that could potentially help me with investigating the case. I was now well rested since I went to bed earlier last night and was hyped to begin investigating. I decided to walk to the train station since it was summer and it would be refreshing. I grab my phone out of my pocket and brought up the contact of one of the people I believe would help me. I hear the usual ring from the phone before he picked up. "Hello?" 

I was greeted by the smooth voice from the other line. "Namjoon hey." I happily spoke into the phone.

"Hey (y/n), whats up, why did you call?" I hear him inquire from the other line, his voice with a hint of concern. 

"Can't I just call you check up on how my favourite reporter in doing." I smiled innocently to myself. He chuckled in reply.

"No, what's up (y/n)?"

"Soo. I was wondering if you could help me dig up some more or any information on this case I was working on." I slowly spoke.

"Which case is this, I haven't heard of anything major recently."

"The Gyeongbu suicide case." I nervously replied as I bit my bottem lip. The line went silent as I awaited his answer my eyes wandering the streets.

"Wasn't that case solved ten years ago?" Namjoon finally replied with a puzzled tone.

"Yes but, umm it's a long story." I gave up trying to explain on the phone. "I think I need to be with you to explain since you might not believe me if I explained now." 

"Does lunch sound good?" Namjoon sighed into the phone.

"Does that mean you will help me?" I began to feel excited as my body jolted up.

"No, it means I am willing to hear you out." 

"That's not agreeing but I will take it, bring Yoongi along too." I quickly responded.

"Yoongi what~."

"See you at the usual cafe we meet at twelve, thank you Namjoon." I butted in before he could object.

"Wait (y/n), why do I~." I smiled cheekily as I hung up the phone and picked up my pace. I squalled with excitement, gaining some odd glances from pedestrians. 

"Now all I have to do is convince Namjoon and Yoongi to help me and we are good to go!" I happily mumbled to myself as I entered the train carriage. I was too busy tapping at my phone to realise I had walked straight through Jungkook. Feeling a cold breeze overwhelm my body only to shrug it off as the train carriage air conditioning.

"Convince who?" I hear him say. I jump slightly as I quickly whipped my head around to face Jungkook.

"Oh, you scared me." I sighed as my hand clutch my chest where my heart is.

"Haha got you back from last time." Jungkook spoke before bursting out into laughter.

"None intentional doesn't count." I retorted as I took a seat in the train carriage. "Try harder next time." I smirked. 

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get you someday." Jungkook replied whilst rolling his eyes. "So who are you trying to convince and why?" He took a stand next to the seat I had sat down in and I looked up with excitement.

"Namjoon and Yoongi." I grinned as I swung my legs back and forth like a child.

"Namjoon and Yoowho?" Jungkook shook his head in confusion as his hands waved frantically in front of himself, gesturing me to explain.

"Haha, there my friends, Namjoon is a reporter and Yoongi is a cameraman." I explained, Jungkook nodded his head in awe.

"Ahh are they going to help investigate my case?" He jumped up with excitement.

"Not yet but hopefully." I smiled back. The atmosphere fell silent as we were suddenly aware of other conversations people where having around us. 

"Is she talking to herself?"

"She okay?" 

"Maybe someone should take her to a mental hospital." My smile faulters as my gaze was diverted from Jungkook to the group of teenage girls giggling to themselves in the right corner of the train carriage. They caught my gaze and quickly fell silent, turning their attention to anything but me. 

"Don't listen to them (y/n), your not crazy, look I'm right here." Jungkook tried reassuring me. I nodded with a gentle smile. 

"I know." I mumbled. He frowned before cheekily smiling. I frown adn watched as he drifted his way towards the girls, not breaking eye contact me. He smirked before grabbing one of the girl's drink and spinning around with it in his hand. The girls screened at the sight of the floating drink. He cheekily placed it down on the floor and begun playing with the braid of one of the girls, holding it up so it was dangling in the air. I chuckled before he smuggishly drifted back towards me. 

"That will teach them." He smiled satisfactorily whilst dusting his hands off. I smiled before both of us burst into fits of laughter. 

"Did you see that one girls face." I laughed, mimicking the expression the girl had.

"Haha I know, especially the one where I held their braid." Jungkook laughed along with me. As soon as the train arrived at the next station the girls ran off with fright. 

"Thanks." I spoke after our laughter died down.

"For what?" Jungkook innocently looked back at me with his signature cute bunny smile.

"Backing me when the girls were saying those things about me." 

"Its the least I can do." He continued to smile.

"Actually speaking of which, Jungkook why am I the only one that seems to be able to see you?" I thought aloud catching the ghost off guard. Causing him to smile nervously as he scratched the nape of his neck. 

"I actually don't know." He chuckled nervously.

"You've been riding this train for how many years and you still do not know?" I inquired with disbelief.

"Yes?" He replied. I sighed as I allowed my head to fall into my hands.

"Have you got any plans for the day?" I spoke through my hands.

"No, I've literally done everything you could do on a train." Jungkook thought aloud.

"Then how about I go to the library after work and borrow some book about ghosts, maybe there is something that will give us an idea as to why I am the only one that can see you." I offered.

"I have nothing else to do so sure." Jungkook shrugged in response.

"Now arriving at Seoul Station."

"Gotta run, see you." I quickly perked up from my seat once hearing the robotic voice called my stop.

"Bye." He waved as I exited the cart.
