Killer Cruise

Chapter 9

Hannahs aunt begins to lead the way out, not sparing a second longer.

Well I suppose being locked up would at least keep us safe from the psycho on board until the staff sort it out.

"Hold on," the skinny man by the desk voices up, standing up as well "Mr.Kim Taehyung, I just want to say I'm a huge fan of your work especially-"

I tuned out of that conversation faster than I've ever done anything else in my life and speed-walked to catch up with Hannah's aunt.

As much as I respect his career choice, I do not want to know the details of it.

Her aunt is already by the end of the corridor, tapping her foot impatiently, she eyed me with an eyebrow raised, silently asking where my 'partner in crime' is.

Soon enough he busted out of the door, looking down the wrong way of the hallway before he finally takes notice of us.

He jogs up to me, still looking as lost as ever.

"Taehyung did you understand everything she said?" I gestured to Hannah's aunt while clutching my damp clothes in one arm.

He hesitates for a moment before nodding.

"Sure?" I pressed on.

A small embarrassed smile spread across his lips as nodding morphs into shaking from left to right.

"If you don't understand anything you need to tell me alright? So that I can help you,"

His head just tilts to the side as he quirked an eyebrow up.

I take a deep breath "okay, so she" I point at Hannah's aunt "thinks," I tap my forehead and he slowly mimics my action.

"We,"

He nods at this, already understanding that word.

"Did bad things."

His eyes widen, he takes a small gasp, clearly offended, before narrowing his eyes on Hannah's aunt.

His lower lip juts out as he leans closer to me to complain like a pouty little child "But I good boy,"

He doesn't even bother hiding how he feels in the slightest, clearly letting the distaste of that assumption lay on his features.

I chuckled at his antics and again his eyes go wide as he faces me "did I say the wrong thing?"

He's so friking cute I- how did I even begin assuming he could be a bad person. Maybe because evil can sometimes hide behind the most innocent of faces.

Damn, why my brain gotta do this to me.

Shaking my head as a response I couldn't help but laugh at his slightly worried expression again.

"We're here," Hannah's aunts voice weighs down on the light mood. She holds a door open for us, taking a peek inside I'm relieved to find that there's 2 beds on opposite ends of the room. It's definitely one of the smaller options but that didn't matter, still came with a bowl of little packeted fortune cookies.

"There's water and the basic things you will need. Due to the sudden severed internet and other connections you both will have to remain here until we dock at the next harbour and the police can properly carry out an investigation here or if your alibi proves to be faultless," she squeezes my shoulder slightly, a fragment of a smile on her face "sorry (y/n), it's procedure,"

I nodded along to her words and assure her it's nothing to be worried about. She also shows a quick smile to Taehyung before her strict workface returns as she leaves us standing by the door.
