004 - Save Me
The Awakening of the Sacred Coven"What the hell?!"
Krystal sat back on the safety of the passenger seat after being forcefully pushed forward when Seokjin suddenly hit the brakes. If not for the seatbelt that she's wearing, she might be dead by now. A vampire's overspeeding style of driving and a sudden brake is a deadly combination. She fixed her hair, pushing a few strands (that have recklessly blown to her face due to the impact) away.
"I shouldn't have let you drive," She said with irritation facing Seokjin, while he looked like he was in a state of shock. Between the two of them, she acts more like the boss than the vampire.
The screeching of tires earlier alarmed several passersby who are now looking through the passenger's window. Krystal had to waive them one by one, gesturing that they're okay.
"I saw something," Seokjin finally spoke, tightening his grip on the steering wheel as he drove to pull the car to the side.
Krystal knew that when Seokjin acts this way, there is something serious that's going on. She knew he could see the future. It was inevitable. He could see the visions wherever he is, whenever. So she asked softly in order to calm the vampire, "What did you see?"
"There's a dark alleyway. There are two men...it looks like they are arguing...and a woman was hiding behind the other man. One of them was asking for our help."
"But which alley was it? And..." Krystal trailed off, the puzzle slowly falling into place, "how did that person reach you?" She had hoped that it wasn't someone they knew.
He sighed and rubbed his face with both hands that extended to his hair due to apprehension. "I don't know. But it sounds like Yoongi to me. What if he's in trouble?"
Seokjin looked at Krystal, concern all over his face.
Krystal can't help but sympathize with him. Seokjin was the most caring and thoughtful vampire she's ever seen. He always thinks about his friends, even ordinary people like her, his Black Swan. He is her polar opposite. If she doesn't give a damn about a single thing, Seokjin worries about the little things for others.
In order to make him feel better, Krystal found his hand and held it. "Don't worry about it. We'll find a way to get to him. I know every alley in Gangnam District, so let me drive."
She then let go of his cold hand and exited the car without a word from him so he was forced to let his Black Swan drive. Her attitude amused him for a moment but the anxiety was still there.
While Seokjin and Krystal changed routes as they're on their way to the Cloud 9, Jungkook and Hoseok were having fun in the Viper. After Suzy downed several shot glasses of mixed drinks, she dozed off on where she sat by the counter. Hoseok then took the chance to persuade Jungkook to invite some other girls in the VIP room.
"Come on," Hoseok leaned his back against the wall to Jungkook's right side, carrying a glass of wine with him, as he aimed to distract Jungkook while he played darts. "It's not like your Black Swan will know."
"Dude, the council prohibits bringing red bloods here. What if they find out about us?"
Hoseok laughs, "Really? Are you now afraid of the Council after you injured Tae? Or you couldn't flirt with other women because of her?" He gestured the hand holding the wine glass towards Suzy's direction.
Jungkook paused, hand aiming at the board mid-air. He turned to face Hoseok and gave him a warning, "One more mention of her and I'm going to aim this sh*t at you."
Hoseok sneered, walking away from Jungkook, "Even if you shield your thoughts a million times, you're still easy to read." He stopped in his tracks and faced Jungkook again, "By the way, you're not alone. I've known a few vampires who fell for their Black Swans."
Jungkook clenched his fist. He was about to say something when he saw Suzy stirred from sleep in his peripheral vision.
"Hmm?" She lifted her head from the counter and looked at her phone, then turned to face the two men behind her, "Jin is calling."
Jungkook was beside her in an instant so he snatched the phone from her hand.
"What's taking you so long?!" He released his anger at the wrong person.
"T-this is Krystal," She sounds nervous. "We were on our way and...and...Jin had a vision about Yoongi. He said he may be in trouble so he left to help him. He asked me to stay in the car. I-I don't know what to do! I don't even know where he is now. He said it was a dark alley and there was someone confronting Yoongi." She swallowed hard. "Can you come and help him, please?"
Jungkook's facial expression immediately changed from annoyed to disbelief. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. Seeing him like that made Suzy's senses alert in an instant.
"What's going on?" She asked.
Instead of acting due to apprehension, he tried to control his emotions to hide the real thing from Suzy. If both of his friends were in trouble, it might be beyond what humans could comprehend that is why he doesn't want Suzy to meddle with it.
