Feathers- A BTS Fanfiction

Chapter 4

"Thanks girl, I owe you one!" Ara blurts into the phone at an extremely loud volume. Aurem holds it away from her ear.

And then Ara hangs up.

"That girl, I swear." She groans, grabbing her keys. "Jin's gonna beat me if he finds out about this."

Running out the door with her wallet, keys and phone, she makes her way down to the student parking area. A nervous energy builds up in her stomach as she nears her car, but she casts it aside. She's rather drive her than risking Ara to drive herself.

She is absolutely horrible when she's drunk.

Aurems's 2003 Acura CL unlocks with a click of a button, and she climbs in, making sure to buckle her seatbelt. She mounts her phone, typing in Kim Taehyung's address.

"40 Minutes away?! Where even is this place?" She gawks. "I would think it would still be in Ulsan..."

In Busan, of course, is where he lives. Aurem throws her head back in despair, and then begins her journey to her roommate.

Extra cautious, she drives through the city. The bright neon signs that symbolize the liveliness of Ulsan nightlife stain Aurem's eyes, leaving streaks of light that last a few seconds. Little shops and hundreds of people dot along the streets, trains still blast through their tracks at this hour. This isn't too bad to drive in. Seoul, Where Namjoon is staying right now, is much worse to drive in.

But when she entered Busan, it was a whole other realm. There are so many people roaming the streets, countless bridges overlooking the ocean, and oh so many sky scrapers. One can't deny that the scenery isn't gorgeous, but for Aurem, it's a nightmare. The headache has only begun from the light exposure. Jin was completely right of her not being able to drive with a concussion.

"It will be just fine." She reassured herself countless times. She opens the windows, letting the cool air brush against her face. Aurem is right, she will be okay. After all, she had been driving for years at this point, encountered everything a driver can experience- from crazy road ragers, seemingly crazy jaywalkers, cut offs, even wrong direction driving...

But even the most experienced chauffeur couldn't prepare for the cliffs.

Outside the busiest part of the city lie a plethora of jagged and rising cliffs, towering hundreds of meters above sea level. The roads are treacherous, some not even having guard rails. The twists and turns are unpredictable.

"Oh Hell no." Aurem mutters to herself. "I am not doing this..."

She says as she drives onto them. Winding and winding, a large house is illuminated on top of the towering rocks.

"Alright, I just gotta get there." She whispers, holding her breath.

Mile after mile, constantly going 10 under the speed limit, and braking for every single turn, the road evens out.

Eventually, after almost throwing up twice from looking over the edge of the road, Aurem pulls up to Tae's house. She made it to her destination safely.

...

The house is packed.

Thumping base tunes out all nighttime noise, drunken rapping through a muffled microphone blasts above all. It kinda sounds like Yoongi.

A sea of drunken teens and students hobble around the yard as Aurem walks onto the property. She picks up the phone, calling Ara.

"Kang Ara I am going to murder you in you sleep. Where are you?!" She yells into the tiny microphone.
