Perfect Timing

Chapter 11: Fire

Jungkook's POV:

The man and I locked eyes for what felt like ever. I was nervous, but I tried not to show it. He smirked. "Ashame you don't realize it Jungkook, you should probably look out for now on though." As if on cue a sound of crashing glass echoed throughout the house. Smoke started to fill up the rooms causing all the guests to start coughing and rushing towards the outside. Then the fire alarm blared. Too much is happening, I can't see him anymore, and the guys holding him back released him in shock. I desperately looked into the smoke for to see where he went, but Y/n started pulling me towards the doors instead.

"Forget it" she said with her shirt over her nose, "We gotta go." She coughed back, and we followed the crowd now clearing outside of the house.

We checked the rooms on our way out, and it looked like everyone was heading out as well. Y/n was frantically looking for her the girl she came here with throughout the process. "Lyssa!" She always shouting in each room as the wave of people pushed us through. There didn't seem to be any luck in spotting her Inside.

I put my arm around her shoulders moving us along but not getting separated. I had to practically shout for her to hear me, "I'm sure she's on her way out too" I wanted to be reassuring, but too was worried about my friends that I lost sight of in the smoke. It was weird some of it smelled like a fire, but there was another purple cloudy haze that was already clearing. As if there were two sources that the smoke came from.

Once outside, Y/n anxiously searched until she rested her eyes on her wobbly friend. She ran up to her in a hug "Are you okay?" Lyssa seemed to be in a bit more conscious state now that an emergency was happening. I smiled that they were okay, as I continued scanning the crowd for my friends. A few groups over, I saw Suga waving to me with a phone in his hand.

I sighed a bit of relief. "Did everyone make it out? I didn't see anyone who looked like they needed help who wasn't being getting it."

He hugged me when I got close enough. It's funny, He's not really much of a hugger. "We didn'tsee anyone either, before we got out we split up to check the up stairs and basement too. Everyone should be here. Oh! I also called the fire department, they're on their way."

"That's good." Sirens wailed down the street to see a big red truck rushing to the scene. Most people started heading home at the sight of sirens. Only a few curious onlookers decided to stay. I'm sure most people didn't want to be involved, especially if they were intoxicated.

Suited up men rushed in, and we watched from a safe distance as the smoke died down fairly quickly. Most of the purple haze was gone already by the time the fire department entered the building.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. Y/n smiled towards me, "Hey, we're going to head out, my friends are pretty scared, but I wanted to thank you for tonight." She bit her lip, "Hey, you have snap chat?"

"Right! Yea, of course!" I scrambled for my phone to open the app. "Text me when you get home,"

She tilted her screen with my bitmoji, "Found you! And definetely I'll text you" She turned back to hear her friends calling her from a distance. "I should get going, maybe next time we'll try that ice cream flyer or something?" She waved bye to me and shuffled back towards her friends who were eager to start walking back to campus.

"You got a deal!" I shouted back waving. My friends gave me teasing looks. I elbowed a smirking Jimin, "What?"

After about 10 minutes, The firemen walked back out of the building, "You're all clear. The fire wasn't that big. It looked like a lit cigarette fell on some paper causing the alarm to go off."

Suga nodded at him, "thank you very much sir."

"Of course! Now be more careful in the future okay, the place is still a mess despite the fire. Someone must have broken the windows to get out of the building. Well, either way, you guys are free to go back in. Take care." We thanked him and they drove their truck back down the street.

Something felt weird though, the glass broke before the alarm went off. And burning paper wouldn't have caused that much smoke. Especially not a purple smoke that filled every room instantly. Lost in thought, I felt Namjoon shake me awake. He and Jin were still here, "Come on, we should get this placed cleaned up shouldn't we?" He whispered and laughed, "I don't think your friend Kevin will let you borrow his house any time soon."

Together we headed back in and started to clean up the mess we got ourselves in.

Y/n's POV:

We walked home in a quick manner, my friends we met at the party ended up staying at our dorm for a while talking about what happened. The situation was making my stomach sick despite me not drinking. I sent Jungkook and "all good :) night!" Text and changed into my pajamas

After an hour or so everyone went to their own rooms. I laid in bed awake not knowing what to think.

Y/n's POV:

I woke up pretty late to my alarm softly ringing piano music. I looked at the screen to dismiss it when I remembered why I had an alarm set for a Saturday morning. In big letters, I labeled the alarm, "SISTER IN 30" and I rushed to get ready. I hopped in the shower total rinse off real quick and dried my hair as fast as possible before heading to a nearby breakfast place.

On the way, I ran into my friend Kelsey who told me my shoe was untied. She laughed, "The grind don't stop! Tying your shoes is for fools!"

"Ahhh yea, you're right" I joked as I bent to tie my purple converse. While, fixing my shoe we agreed to catch dinner later and we waved a see you later.

I made it just in time to see my sister waiting for me at a table along with two others. One I recognized as one of my best friends from High school. She had strawberry blonde hair and Jean's and a cubz tee on. The other seemed strikingly familiar. Upon walking closer, I recognized the shiny black hair to belong to the girl from the party from yesterday. She was the one talking to Jungkook.

She stood up as I approached and held out her hand, "Hi, I'm Tiffany, nice to meet you."

Hiya! Hope everyone is having a good day!
