Killer Cruise

Chapter 12

The door shut and the clicking of the locks were heard followed by fading footsteps.

My eyes found their way to Taehyung, he gazed longingly at the door. Lips slightly pursed into a pout, his eyes practically begging for his 5 brotherly friends to come back. 

He heavily exhaled as he wrapped himself in his blanket but still sat upright, it wasn't even cold? I wonder why?

I wanted to interrogate him, to ask what exactly is his job, where Jin was and most importantly why he lied.

But he looked so fragile in the moment.

Knees pulled up to his chest with his forehead resting on them, the blanket engulfing everything except for the back of his head. I decided it's probably best to save the questions for a better time, it's not like he could go anywhere.

"I'm going to shower," I receive no reply while I head towards the attached bathroom.

Ugh, why did I tell him that. People don't announce when they're going to shower to strangers. Stupid! ...I don't  know maybe part of me just wanted to let him know I'm still here. Ah, what am I saying.

Switching on the lights, I walk in and lock the door.

Cold tiles greeted my feet, the bathroom is average sized, even the 'prison' of this luxury cruise is a little more on the extravagant side. The bathroom came equipped with a double vanity, large shower cubicle, a toilet and most importantly free toiletries that I will definitely take once I leave here as compensation for being falsely accused.

I stood there, watching the water from the shower run down my legs.

Hannah.

The events from right before our shift begun replayed in my mind.

"Lynne's shoes are kinda big. I'm going to get blisters," I complained.

"Well maybe you should have thought about that before throwing your shoe at someone," Lynne manages to say even with her congested nose.

"Shut it bigfoot, that was self defence okay!" I protested to which she threw a balled up tissue my way

"Guys don't fight, Lynne you have beautiful feet and the bigger they are, the lower your centre of mass, the less likely your are to fall. It's  a win," Hannah chirped, she turned her attention onto me now "I'll wait for you at the end of your shift okay? We'll walk back together, you can lean on me so your feet wont blister," 

Hannah flashed a bright smile, endearing and child-like. It's impossible to stay angry with her around. 

"Alright, you'd better wait for me,"

I shouldn't blame myself, that would only make me miserable ...but I can't help but feel a little guilty. I should have been with her.

After getting dressed in a new set of clothes I made my way out, finding Taehyung in the exact same position as when I last saw him.

That's not good.

My guts told me its definitely related to Jin.

Still, this isn't good.

He should at least eat, I'm already accused for 1 murder I don't want to be accused of a second if he drops dead from starvation.

Hannah's aunt said there was food right? I rummaged through the cabinets and after bumping my head 3 times on various cabinet doors and shelves, I finally find food.
