15. Late Night Drive
Tonny POV:
I'm doing my skincare before going to bed . Today I'll go to bed early. I don't do self-care usually. I'm too lazy for that. But sometimes I do. Because I look like a corpse with those big dark circles. Which I proudly made by studying whole night. I finished my studies and these days there's no homework. So it's time to relax a bit. Also there's Taehyung. I need to feel pretty before meeting him.
I take my phone from my table to find it dead. I groan and put my phone on charging. I wait to see if there's any notification after switching it on . And notifications after notifications starts bursting once my phone is on.
*69 missed calls from Yoongi oppa*
*49 missed calls from Hwana Ajumma*
*20 missed calls from Jungkook*
*16 messages from Yoongi oppa*
*9 messages from Jungkook*
"WTF! What's going on?"
My heart starts beating faster and faster after seeing those notifications. Jungkook's call is still okay. But why's Sanji's Mother and brother calling me? And that many times!
For a moment my mind starts imagining the worst. Maybe Sanji is dead. They're calling me to attend her funeral.
"Oh God no! Please don't be dead Sanji "
I press on the message icon to read the messages. But before I can read anything, another call comes.
But this is not from any of them. It's from Moon instead. I quickly pick up the call without wasting any of time.
"Hell-"
"WHERE ARE YOU GUYS ?", Moon yells. "WHY AREN'T YOU PICKING UP ANY CALL AND WHY!WHY AM I NOT INFORMED ABOUT IT?"
" Okay okay cool down! I'm at my home. What are you saying?"
" You're at your home? " , There's disbelief in her voice, " Then where's Sanji? With you? "
" No! She's not with me. Listen Moon. I just switched on my phone and found a lot of calls and texts from her family and Jungkook. What's the matter? ", I say hopefully. That means she's not dead at least.
" Well... Sanji didn't go home from school today "
" What! What do you mean? It's very late in night! School ended ages ago"
" That's what I'm saying. She didn't go home. And her phone is unreachable. Her family was calling you but your phone was switched off. They don't have my new number. They found Jungkook's number and informed him. He also called you. Then he called me . I didn't even see her while leaving school. Did you? "
" No. I wasn't with her. She was with you in the practice! How come you didn't see her ? ", I ask.
" Well she got disqualified. My practice continued. And I didn't see her after that. Wait lemme ask Taehyung if he did "
" Okay.... What should I do now? Is it ... Is it my fault ? That.. that she's not.... Not.. I don't know ", I stutter, " Do you think.... Do you think she's still at school somehow? "
" There's possiblity. I think you should call her oppa and apologize. You didn't pick his call he'll be angry. What if he won't let us go to her house again? Or you! "
" What if we don't need to go there anymore? "
" Shut up. Don't talk nonsense. Go call", she cuts the call.
I call Yoongi oppa keeping my heart in my hand. I don't know why am I so scared. But I am. He pickes up the call after a few rings.
" Hello? ", there's urgency in his voice rather than anger .
I Breath, " I'm so sorry oppa! My phone was off. I don't know where is Sanji, I swear! I didn't see her while leaving school today", I cry.
" Well ... we know. Jungkook said Jimin saw her leaving school alone at very late. Alone . We contacted the school security and there's no one there. So it's sure that she's somewhere outside of school and.... And home",he speaks calmly.
" Do you know any place where she can be? ", the same urgency comes back to his voice.
" No. There's no place she should be till now. It's Sanji we're talking about. She would never stay anywhere for this long "
" In that case... We should find her sooner ", and with that he cuts the call.
" Tonny ah! Tonny ah! ", Mom calls from the call room..
" Coming! "
I go downstairs to find Mom and day standing with Jungkook and Jimin.
"What happened ?" , I ask.
"Oh poor Sanji! She's lost. You should go to find her. She's your friend. They're here to take you with them for searching. After all you're her beat friend!", mom cries.
"Um.... Mom? It's very late at night. Should I go now?", I ask in disbelief.
"Of course! Oh it's night and your friends is missing I won't you go to look for her."
Something is wrong with her. She never let's me go out so easily. Well ... She did let me go to the picnic also. What's happening that I'm missing?
"You're coming with me?", I ask.
"No no why would I come? If you guys find her she'll be uncomfortable if she sees us. Go fast ", she hurries me towards the boys .
I look at my pajamas. Looks like I've to go out in these.
As soon as we get out of the house Jungkook asks, "Are you okay? You can tell us if you know anything."
" No! I swear I don't know anything! I was in my house thinking she's on her! "
" Okay. Do you have any place in mind? ", Jimin asks.
" No. What should we do now? ", I ask.
"Let's wait for Taehyung and Moon. They're coming", he informs.
After a while a car stops in front of us . Moon gets down from the passenger seat and Taehyung from the driving.
"You can... You can drive?" , I ask .
"Yeah of course. I've got my driving license and Jimin as well. And Jungkook rides bike ", Taehyung explains.
" But aren't you.... Too young? ", I raise my eyebrows.
" Oh c'mon. We're over 18 and we've our ways ", he laughs.
I look at Moon, " Now you don't tell me you.. "
" No. I don't have license ", she winks.
" Okay let's not waste time here", Jungkook interrupts , " What's the plan? "
" Well it's simple. Jungkook go and search all the stations and bus stops. Jimin and Moon go search all the shopping malls, convenience store and public places. And I and Tonny will search the roads", Taehyung instructs.
" Why? Why do I have to go with Jimin? I can go with Jungkook", Moon snaps.
" Because you know public places and where she could be in. And I don't want you to roam in bike at night", He demands.
" Oh and you can go with Tonny . Who knows you'll actually search for Sanji or not, ", she blurts.
" Moon. Tonny knows the roads more than you. She's been traveling with her for years", he speaks seriously , "Now please don't mess around go search for Sanji. Don't argue with each other. Remember that we should find her before her family finds her. Okay? "
Everyone nods. And we all know why so. We don't know why she's missing. It's her fault or anyone else's. Or what if it's one of our fault. If we find her we can sort things out. But if her family finds her first the situation can go south.
I get in the car beside Taehyung. So does Moon with Jimin. Jungkook mounts on his ride. At the same time we all start. But we're in opposite direction from them.
" Watch out through the window. Where do you reckon she could be? "
" Well I don't know really. I've no idea"
" No I mean... You think she's out there herself or she's... She's been kidnapped or something? "
" I don't think so. At first I was scared. But now I can think properly.... It's Sanji we're talking about", I give a little laugh , " No one can hurt her except herself. She's probably stuck somewhere scared or lost"
"So you think we will find her?", a little disbelief in his voice.
"Well if not we then anyone else will find her. I have the feeling. Positive"
He humms and keep driving . I look out at the road side. Hopping she is sitting somewhere.
After half an hour or so we keep rounding on the roads. He asks , "Mind if I play some songs?"
"No"
He plays a romantic song. I feel myself blushing. I look at him to find him looking at me while smiling.
"You know what. I don't know when we'll get another moment to spend like this", he looks back at the road ahead and I also look through the window, "This moment. You, I , this moonlit night, this road, this song... Makes all of it special together. And the task we've in our hands gives a little egde on them"
He takes my hand and rubs his thumb on my palm. I can't stop myself from smiling.
He brushes his lips with my ear, "Think this as a late night drive date.", he goes back, "With a mission ".
And I take in the moment. My parents doesn't allow me to go out at night. This happened tonight miraculously. And it's only the two of us. It feels like we snatched the moment from all the chaos of life.
My heart keeps beating fast inside my ribcage. Our car comes in a dark place. The road is visible by the headlights but it's dark inside. We can only make each other's silhouette out. I took the opportunity and for the first time take the lead.
I get up a little from my seat quickly and plant a kiss on his cheek and come back again. Blushing hard I look away.
I can feel him going stiff. No wonder I shocked him . When we are back in the road lights I take a glimpse of him. He's smiling with all his teeth. And a little red in the cheek.
I turn away again, "SANJI!", I shout. He breaks the car abruptly.
"Where?"
"I think I saw I saw someone"
He starts the car and drives backwards a little. And we found what I looked at.
There's definitely a girl. I was right. But she's wearing all white dirty clothes and her face is hidden between her knees.
I look at Taehyung. His face pale and shocked. And we both know we're thinking the same thing.
Both of us give a scream. He speedd off the car from the place as soon as possible.
"We are looking for S-anji not a...not a.. g-host", he stutters.
" I know ", I breath out.
" Unless...", he looks at me with a serious and worried look.
" No "
Then we drive for some time silently looking outside. Until he breaks the silence.
"You know what. I told Jin hyung to come help us but he denied. He acted a little too weird. But he said he'll go look for her also . I think I should call him and found out what is he doing"
I only humm in reply. As a thought crossed my mind. I know that Sanji has feelings for him . In so sure about it. But I thought they are not together. But is it possible that she's with him? That's why she's missing.
I go lost in my delusions. And start imagining them . What if they eloped together? What might be they're doing? As my thoughts go on too much I shook them off. As I hear Taehyung dialing the call. I wait to hear.
"Put on speaker", I demand.
After a few rings he picks up the call.
" Hell-" , Taehyung gets interrupted by Seokjin.
" Hello Taehyung ah I found her. Yeh just now."
" Oh is she hurt? ", Taehyung asks.
" No she's fine", he replies.
"Umm... Where are you guys?", I ask
"Ah this place is far from Seoul"
"How did she go out of Seoul?", Taehyung asks.
" No I don't know.. yet. No don't worry I'll bring her back. Yeah I've my car with me. Inform everyone", Seokjin is definitely being weird.
"So you're coming back now ?", Taehyung asks.
" Umm... No. I don't think so. Don't expect us till late morning. It'll take a long time ".
" Okay bye then", Taehyung says.
"Yeah bye", Seokjin mutters.
"Bye", I say.
"Oh hyung .. we all are searching for her and Tonny is with me"
"Oh drop her at home safely. Take care" , Seokjin cuts the call.
"Strange", he murmurs.
I blush so hard and hide my face Taehyung so that he can't see me smiling like a fool. After all I wasn't wrong. She's with him .
He calls someone else, "Ah hyung .. we found her. Er .. no . Actually Jin hyung found her. No no she's okay. But he says it'll be morning till they come. I don't know either. Let's hear from them in the morning. Yeah okay. No no it's okay. Bye"
He looks at me, " Inform your parents and Moon. And umm.... Tell them we've came very far also. We'll go back at morning too"
I look at him with shock. Because we're not that far from my house. We took a round and came near again. Then the realization hit me. I blush and look away.
But I do as he said. But I skipped telling my mom that I'm alone with Taehyung.
After informing all we sit in silence. Relieved about the situation. We don't have a mission in our hand anymore.
He turns away from my home area. And we go through the suburbs. He turns the volume up. Romantic song bursting and he hold my hand rather tightly this time. As we were already enjoying the moment, rain starts dropping on top of that.
Fate is playing cupid with us. And I can't believe I'm actually living this moment. It's literally out of the kdramas .
He suddenly puts down the windows . Rain and winds comes splashing at me. I scream at the sudden encounter.
"Why?", I ask.
"Let's enjoy the moment to it's fullest", he parks the car in deserted area. Rain is coming a lot inside. Making us wet in no time.
After I stop complaining I actually start to enjoy the moment. Though the rain is cold it's refreshing. The smell of rain is intoxicating.
He stares at my face then at my body. I follow his eyes to find my clothes drenched at sticked to my body. It became transparent showing my skin now.
I feel embarrassed and exposed. I turn away from him hiding. But he holds my hand. Pulling me towards him.
My back bumps with his chest. I look down at my lap. The touch is making the situation more tempting and embarrassing at the same time.
He pulls my wet hair locks away from my face and plays a little with them. Then he brushes his lips with my ear lob . Then on my neck. Drying the rain drops off my skin. And I let out a moan. At that, I hide my face with both of my hands.
Looks he's getting fun making me embarrassed . As if it wasn't enough, he pulls me onto his lap and makes me look at him forcefully.
It's the first time I looked at him after the rain. He's also drenched as me . He looks sexy with his wet face and hair.
I copy his previous movement and brush the hairs out of his face. The eye contact is making my blood rush . So that I'm feeling hot even sweating in this cold rain.
His eyes fall from my eyes to my lips. Knowing what's coming next, I shut off my eyes. I feel his lips brushing at my own. As he slowly starts kissing me .
I don't kiss back quickly. But when the desire gets over my embarrassment I give in. Kissing him back.
Soon the movement hits up. Our passion kicks in to increase the speed. And his hungriness makes me hungry for his kiss too. It feels as if I'm a copycat. Copying everything he's doing.
The rain stops. We realize and look out through the window. It's twilight. We sit properly and pull on the seatbelts. It's our cue to leave. We said we'll go back in morning and we've come far away.
He kisses my forehead before starting to drive. After all those kissing, this one made me truly happy. It felt special.
I look at the rear view mirror and fix my hair. He let the windows down. The wind drying our hair.
Sun fully shines on the sky when we come near my area. But after a while I notice that we're not going to my house. We're going to Sanji's instead.
"Why are we going there?" , I ask.
"Obviously to see her. Everyone will be there. We all are curious to know what happened. Aren't you?"
"Yes ", I lie.
Because I already know what happened to her. And Seokjin. Same as me and Taehyung. Or probably more.
He parks the car near her house. Jimin and Moon's car, Jungkook's bike is already parked there.
"Looks like hyung and Sanji didn't come yet. Let's wait inside ".
He gets down from the car . But before I get down he runs to my side and opens the door for me. I smile and get down.
" After you", he gestures.
I start walking smiling like a maniac at his behavior like a gentleman. I never knew I'd like these things this much.
