09| Astro Detective Bunch & Turtle Rabbit Kim
Finally, lunch decided to roll by, which means it's time for me to give the Astro Detective Bunch a little visit.
But of course, I'm not going alone because Taehyung insisted on coming with despite me protesting against it.
I really don't get his deal sometimes.
It's like he's a combination of tsundere- cold on the outside but soft on the inside, kuudere- cool and collected and a genki- full of energy and optimism.
It's really a sight to witness and his transitions are so random but I guess that's what makes Taehyung, Taehyung.
"So you're saying they didn't try grop-"
"Yah. Will you ever stop with that?" I pinch his cheek, annoyedly. "And by the way, they all really missing you. You should stop by to see them, like you promised Yoongi Oppa."
"Aish, It's only been a day and so far I like my blazer free of snort." He whines, trying to yank my hand from his cheek in futile attempts. "Besides why aren't you covered in snort?"
"That's because I don't make them cry." I retort, releasing my hand from his soft cheek just when we arrive at the door to our said destination.
The doors pretty bland with a simple white coat of paint as well as a sort of star shaped emblem etched over it and below that is their club name.
I guess they're really vying for that lowkey look since they're detectives.
"Here goes." I take a breath in, and push down on the handle.
But as if my life isn't already full of surprises the door suddenly flies open to reveal something rather unusual looking- and it's definitely not human.
I yelp in freight and instantly latch onto Taehyung, who barely even reacted at all but despite that he simply holds me in place so I don't fall over.
"CLUCK CLUCK!" It squawks.
It's a chicken.
The person responsible for carrying the creature, slowly lowers it, giving me a full view of her features and they're eerily similar to Seokjin's especially her lips that are plump and full.
"Jisoo ya~?" I mumble.
"Oh Soo Yeong ah~." She smiles widely, then blows a piece of hair out of her face. "I'm sorry, I scaredy you." She gives a light bow despite having the chicken in her embrace.
"Oh... I-It's fine." I stutter, finally letting go of Taehyung and straightening out.
She gives me one last smile before waddling away, "Chiki, chiki." She sings as if carrying a chicken on school property is the most natural thing in the world.
"Jisoo ya~ and her love for chicken got the best of you." Taehyung cackles behind me.
"Aish." I sigh, tugging at the hem of his blazer sleeve and dragging him towards the door. "Don't be like that."
Slowly, we both peer inside of the room and we notice six figures sluggishly seated, all with their heads down, around a dinner sized table. Furthermore, they're all covered in chicken feathers and their little room looks like it needs disaster relief aid asap.
I guess Jisoo's chicken really did a number on them.
"Maybe we should come back another time?" I suggest, turning to face Taehyung and his lips are parted.
"Ani, we're already here." Taehyung counters, and drags me inside the room. "Annyeong?" He greets, and all of them slowly yet surely look up.
My lips part, as my eyes drags over each person in a clockwise direction. I recognise all of them- some of them have classes in common with me while the others are sunbaenims.
The first person is Eunwoo, and despite the chicken feathers in his dark shaded hair, he looks so handsome. Then next to him, is Sanha and Rocky, who are staring at us with agape mouths and disheveled hair.
Afterwards, is MJ and Jinjin, and they're immediately start plucking out the feathers with sheepish smiles, and lastly is Moonbin- he's wearing thick rimmed glasses which look exactly like two magnifying glasses moulded together but despite that he looks absolutely adorable.
"Uh... Annyeong." I greet with a bow.
"You lot are the detective bunch?" Taehyung sounds appalled. "Wah, I never would have thought. Anyway, she needs help with something." Taehyung pats my shoulder, gently.
"Ah, I can comeback another time since you all-"
"Ani!" Eunwoo hollers, as he shoots up from his seat. "Have a seat," He motions for me to sit down but I hesitate, then he hurries to get an empty chair for Taehyung from near the open window.
"You're not intruding, just have a seat." Sanha beams, with a bright smile and a few feathers fall loose from his blonde hair.
Taehyung and I both settle down on the chairs they've just offered us and I stare at them with a small smile as they go on to try and neaten up their place as well as themselves because from what I can tell, Jisoo's chicken must have went haywire with the amount of papers and feathers on the floor.
I soak up the characteristics of this room, and there's a huge map occupying the wall to the right and over it are multiple flyers, pages, a calendar, newspaper articles and the works but on the other side is a standard sized locker and table that's equipped with a little microwave and a water dispenser and adjacent to that is that huge window that Eunwoo just waddled over to and it gives the room a rather airy feeling.
If we're not taking Jisoo's chicken into account, then I'm a hundred percent sure that these boys are usually organised- to the T. As my eyes absorbs all that this room has to offer, Rocky places two styrofoam cups, filled with water, in front of us.
"Thank you."
Taehyung and I mutter in unison.
This club would have definitely been a good choice to sign up for.
"So, how can we offer our services, Soo Yeong ssi?" Jinjin asks with a bright smile, and Taehyung goes on to sip on his water.
"Are you sure I'm not-"
"It's fine," Moonbin assures, as he rids the last bit of feathers from his raven hair. "Besides you're our second client for this week. It's pretty quiet nowadays."
"Oh." I mouth. Jisoo must have been their first client then. "Well... I need information about the new transfer student, Jae Minho..." I state, and they look at me curiously. "As well as his girlfriend, Na Yeji."
I fish for my smartphone from within my blazer pocket and finally I pull it out. Once, I've scrolled through my gallery, I place my phone at the centre of the table and on the screen displays a photo of both Minho and Yeji.
They all quickly stand up, and huddle closer to the smartphone to get a closer look at it but all of their eyes narrows after seeing the image.
"Do you know him from your old school or something?" MJ questions as he sits back down in his seat.
I nod my head in response, "Deh but would you be able to do it?"
"We have contacts from various schools so I believe so." Eunwoo smiles and hands me back the smartphone after everyone had scanned it but Taehyung suddenly takes it from my hold and looks at it.
"Ali-belieb." Sanha cutely attempts to repeat Eunwoo's words but fails.
"What do you want us to find out about him?" Moonbin asks, rather softly.
"He's my ex."
Their faces warp in surprise.
"Is that why you cheered on Taehyung ah~ despite being on the losing team in gym yesterday?" Moonbin chuckles.
"Deh." I give him a sheepish smile and they all chuckle along with him. "But here's the deal..."
I explain all of the necessary details to them, starting from when Minho and I where together right up until when he showed up on Saturday. I even told them about Taehyung and I fake dating just so he'd get off my back and as I spoke they all listened attentively and chimed in their useful inputs here and there.
Once I complete dishing out the grueling details of my past, Taehyung gestures towards the styrofoam cup positioned over the table, which I haven't touched as yet, but I only stare at him, dumbfounded.
"You spoke a mouthful, you egg." He admits, and there goes his tsundere behaviour. Nonetheless, I take a sip from the beverage, and feel my parched throat slowly become refreshed.
"That guy really is a jerk." Eunwoo mumbles, after I set the cup back in it's place over the table.
"Deh," Jinjin seconds and everyone else nods their head in agreement. "We'll definitely find out what's his deal an-"
SPLAT!
Something suddenly came whizzing from the open window and hits the centre of the table with a loud slapping sound, instantly making everyone spring up from their seats and back away from the table.
As soon as I heard that sound I squealed and wasted no time in springing up into the air especially because my eyes caught a glimpse of something huge and something black.
"Yah! What the hell is that?!" Sanha yells.
He stands frozen beside Rocky and all eyes are on the table staring at the huge black object that has suddenly graced us with it's presence but once it hit the table it didn't move an inch, whatsoever.
"I think it's a beetle." Moonbin chimes, as he peers closer to it.
"I'm afraid of bugs..." I admit, throwing my hands over my mouth in terror.
"Why is it so huge?" Jinjin questions.
"Yah! It's moving." MJ warns, and he backs away to stand behind Jinjin.
"It just descended suddenly, does it have wing-"
"Yah! Eunwoo! It's flying!" Sanha yells and he quickly latches onto him.
The beetle has taken flight and namjesus, the sound that it's wings are creating, sounds like multiple helicopter propeller blades spinning insanely and it zips around the room with no restraints, bumping into a few things along the way.
I squeak and instantly crouch to the ground with my hands over my head, quivering in fear as well as praying to the heaven and the stars that it doesn't land on me because I'm not ready to die as yet.
"Try getting it close to the window!" I hear Eunwoo's voice along with loud rackety noises and screams at irregular intervals.
As I sit crouched on the ground, frozen and praying, something light in weight and warm suddenly falls over my head.
I instantly stiffen, with the intention of screeching but alas, I never do because I a get hint of that all too familiar Downy scented fabric softener and something clicks in my brain- it's Taehyung's blazer.
I feel myself go soft at his gesture.
"Where is it now?" Moobin inquires.
"It's on the ceiling. Get the umbrella." Sanha squeaks.
Eventually, I build the courage to look out from under the blazer and I notice Taehyung grabbing ahold of a nearby umbrella and he quickly tosses it over to Sanha, whose now standing on top of the table besides Jinjin, who has a gift bag in his hand.
With my mouth agape, I cautiously stand up with Taehyung's blazer still firmly over my head. Either of my hands grip on the loose ends and I hold it securely underneath my chin, almost using it like a scarf and I watch Sanha in concern.
He slowly pokes at the area of the ceiling that's just beside the beetle while Jinjin holds a gift bag just below it, hoping to capture the beetle within it but suddenly it detaches from the ceiling and takes flight again, and detrimentally everyone screams.
And I'm pretty sure from outside, this room probably sounds like a horror house.
"Migrate!" Sanha yells, quickly hopping off the table with Jinjin sharply following behind and they hide beneath it.
As for Moonbin and Rocky they usher closer to me but I stand frozen in my position and MJ, he's lost somewhere within this room but unlike the rest of us Eunwoo and Taehyung seem practically unphased by the scary creature's wrath.
Their eyes simply follow the beetle and suddenly it slaps hard against the locker and I flinch, watching it just sit there.
In an instant, Eunwoo grabs the gift bag from Jinjin and covers the beetle with the open end, with some hope that it'll crawl it's way in there.
Eunwoo peeps at it a few times to check if it's made it's way inside the bag but alas it just sits pretty on the locker so, Taehyung decides to step in and give Eunwoo a hand.
As Eunwoo holds the gift bag over the beetle Taehyung pokes at the locker with the tip of umbrella and thankfully their plan turns out to be a success.
After they've managed to get it into the bag Eunwoo quickly jogs over to the window to shake off the beetle so it can go back to wherever it came from but painfully it takes excruciatingly long for it to budge.
He spent a whole fifteen minutes trying to get it out of the bag as we all stared in horror and when it finally did get out, he immediately shuts the window and slides to the ground in relief.
And for the first time in like what seems like forever everyone can breathe normally again.
"I can't believe we survived that..." MJ suddenly emerges from one of the corners in this room, and I believe he stayed there this entire time.
"I'd rather go through Jisoo ya's~ rampaging chicken again than this." Jinjin admits, as he sits over his chair, breathlessly.
"Honestly." Rocky agrees and everyone else settles over the table, tiredly.
These boy's really seem to go through a lot.
"You alright?" Taehyung suddenly asks as he pokes his head in front of me with a wide smile, and I stare at him with does eyes.
"Ah deh." I voice, softly, and remove his blazer from my head. "Thank you." I hand it back to him but he only chuckles at me.
"Honestly, why'd you get so scared for a little beetle?"
"Little!?" Sanha exclaims. "That thing was the size of brick!" He hollers and I nod my head furiously in agreement.
"Aish," Taehyung only sighs but then he turns to face Eunwoo, whose leaning against the window. "Anyways, about Minho, you are going to help, right?"
"Deh. We definitely will." Eunwoo confirms. "Also, our club contact number is on the flyer itself. If Soo Yeong ah~ has any questions, then she can message us."
MJ quickly hands me a flyer and I accept it with a bow, "Ah, thank you and what about the payment? I know you guys charge a fee."
"About that..." Moonbin mumbles. "We'll send you an invoice but it wouldn't really be that much."
"Deh, so don't stress." Jinjin assures with a nod.
"We look forward to results so don't disappoint." Taehyung warns, with a soft smile.
"Aish, don't worry!" Sanha hollers. "Like we said, we have a lot of contacts, we'll dig something up."
I send Sanha an okay hand gesture before speaking up, "Thank you."
A/n: What's a fanfic without Jisoo's love for chicken? lmao. Anywho, love and appreciate her like the rest of the Blackpink members. We're an OT4 in this household not OT3.
