Perfect Timing

Chapter 31: "Opportunity"

Oooo y'all wanna hear a fun fact? I was trying to do each chapter a BTS song name, but that got difficult to correlate it each time, so here we are...but Chapter 31 already! wowowowowow, you know, people who read my wattpad are tbh my favorite people; But that's a secret ^.^ And I know the tea is happening so don't worry I won't do a long writing break again. But oye, I'm struggled on this chapter I rewrote it like 3 times XD

Y/n POV:

     "Hello?" My voice was shaky.

     "Is this Y/n?" A distorted huskey voice that I had never heard before responded.

     "W-ho is this?" I swallowed.

     "Unimportant. Is this Y/n or not?" 

     "Huh, what do you want from me?" 

     "I want help with something. NO. I need your help with something. And this power that you have...I would like to borrow it.  I am asking nicely keep in mind. "

      Uh oh play it cool Y/n. "I'm sorry, but I think you have the wrong person. I don't know what you're talking about, don't call this number again." I wanted to sound brave, but my voice was quivering. Meanwhile, the rest of the household was still struggling to get the smoke out before the fire alarms set off. Who is this guy? How much does he know.  I wanted to get out of this conversation. Instinctively, I hung up the phone before I could hear him say more.

      But as soon as I did, the number rang again.  I ignored it.  Should I call the police?  This sounds like a threat. But then what do I tell them? Just then my phone buzzed again with a text.

     "I tried asking nicely."

      Shaken up, I wasn't sure what to text back. I went to respond, but Tae Hyung distracted me instead.

     "Who are you texting? Can I see?" His nose poked over my shoulder causing me to startle?"

     "Oh! uh uh! nothing! its nothing...a prank call...or something..."  I tried to sounded convincing.

     "Huh, well, Oh, okay, anyway I hate those! You know one time I got one about a fridge? I was anxious all day at work thinking about if my food was okay!" I chucked letting my shoulders become less tense while listening to his story.  "And then Guess what!?!" His passionate eyes were sparkling.

     "What?!" I smiled.

     "When I got home."

     "mhmm mhmm" He edged closer, preparing for the finale.

     "My cheese was moldy!!!" He threw his hands up in disbelief, as I couldn't help but laugh at his reaction.

     "Oh that must have been terrible." I joked.

     "Oh, believe me it was. I threw out all the cheese after that, and It's never been the same since then."  He was grinning, like a little kid. He patted my head and went to continue, but Jess called to us from the other room.

     "Pop corn is ready! The burned patches are good for you I promise."  Jess sighed.

     Marie agreed, "Yes, yes! I personally think it's better this way.  Don't you always rave about protein anyways Y/n?"

"What does that even mean?" I called out.

" Well either way, the giant gingerbread guy is about to break into the castle, priorities people!"  The burnt pop corn made its way to the center of the living room as  Everyone resumed their previous seats.

     The movie was about to close with the wedding, but I stood up in a sudden panic. "Hey, I just realized I have a project I forgot about. I think I'll have to go to the library real quick...like right now I also may have left my backpack there..." And I rushed to get my my boots on each foot.  Their apartment was decently close to campus, so I just walked getting here.  "This is like the third thing I've forgotten about this week. Geez, sorry, It was really fun! Next time, I'll be back for sure." I slipped half my jacket on, and bent down to lace my boots.

     "There's like 5 minutes left kid" Marie sighed, standing to pack up too.  "We'll go with you too, so you don't walk alone."  Jess followed suit to stand.

     "I can walk you too!" Tae Hyung offered.

     "You could also borrow one of laptops!" JHope stood excitedly. 

     I smiled back to them, " I appreciate it, but I've got like 30 minutes to turn it in. And I've got my files all saved on my computer.  I'm about to run back, so don't  worry I'll be all good!" I waved before rushing out the door.  I felt their surprised and hesitant stares follow me out of the room.  Wait to look like a super nerd Y/n.  But I really can't afford to miss any more school stuff.  My coma's aren't really doing me any favors with that.  "Speaking of-"  reached around in my pocket for my phone.  Empty.  I made my way down the porch steps.  Too late Y/n, just get it later.  Charging down the block, I barely got myself to the library. 

     "Almost done. Almost done" I whispered to myself on the last page of my project.  Glancing at the clock about to strike 11:59 anxious back at my presentation before hitting submit.  I instinctively reached for my phone again.  "Forgot about that. Maybe if I head back there they will still awake."  I sent a discord message from the laptop.

Y/n: " Heyyyyy, is my phone there by chance?" 

Marie: "Bruh"

Jimin: "Wait wait let me look :O"

Jess: "How was the project? ^.^"

Marie: "Why didn't you send this earlier? -__-"

Tae: "I found it! You've got more missed calls from that prank number..."

Y/n: "Shoot, I'll have to block them when I get back. 

Y/n: "And Project is done! And can I head over to pick it up now?"

Tae: "Yesss come back Y/n! :D You missed the karioke scene at the end! D: We can replay it though don't worry."

Jess: "We were just about to head out, so we'll meet when you get here and we'll walk back together."

Marie: "Stay safe! Do you want us to meet you half way or  pick you up perhaps? It's pretty late out even though you're mostly on campus."

Y/n: "lolllll, and oh don't worry about me! I'm basically a karate master...minus the karate...XD ummmm I'm almost walking already."

Y/n: "On my way!! Be there in 10!"

      I closed the tab and headed out of the library.  The wind got stronger, and it felt much more empty than it did the way here.  The leaves rustled nearby, and the faint sounds of cars in the distance crept to my ears.  A shiver went down my spine looking at the shadows from the bright street lights around me.  "Its a bit more intimidating walking than running I guess."  I picked up my pace a bit more keeping a better eye out on the surroundings.

     I must have been walking for not more than three minutes before I began to jog.  "Okay, Y/n. Doing great. See? No need to be scared." My heart was beating fast and I couldn't help but look every direction constantly.  I wish Jungkook was here. I thought to myself. "He'd know what to say.  To make it less lonely...and scary..." I swallowed still peeking at every alley.  "geez is it always this dark?" I said looking toward the apartments to my left.  I had barely left campus and I the lights were already this dimmed.  "Who needs a phone anyway?"  I half laughed.  "Maybe I don't...should I grab my pepper spray from my back pack?"  I don't really want to stop to search for it though...There was an empty black truck that was left running, I also heard a couple foot steps and there seemed to be no driver in the front seat.  I now forgot about the cold and kept my jogging pace going past.  "See Y/n? nothing to wo-" I spoke before feeling a metal thud against the back of my head.  Suddenly, My knees buckled forward and eyes met face to face with the concrete below.  My eye lids become like weights on my eyes as my mind drifted away.
