You're a Monster | Chenji

XLIII

'Renjun changed Mark and freed our weapons?!' Kunhang said.

'He changed the anti-vampire bullets for regular bullets and released one of the vampires. I don't know why he didn't let Johnny go as well, though.' Dejun corrected him.

'So that's why the vampires we shot were completely unharmed...' Chittaphon said.

Kunhang was healing Dejun's wounds and Chittaphon was with them. They were in Kunhang's lab, as Dejun's was way too messy to stay in.

On the other available lab, Sicheng's, Yangyang and Sichend were inspecting Yukhei's body.

He had bruises all over his neck and abdomen, and he had difficulty breathing. The only good thing was that they knew he was alive and his heart was still beating.

'Sicheng... What do we do now?'

'I... I have this thing, though it's for healing vampires we could try... I don't know, I haven't tried it on humans, but the worst thing that could happen is it not making any effect on him.' Sicheng took a syringe and injected a yellowish liquid in Yukhei's arm. They waited patiently for the chemical to spread through Yukhei's veins.

Sicheng started regretting it as soon as Yukhei's body started convulsing violently, his muscles contracting in a painful-looking way. The surface he was laid on shook as Yangyang cursed under his breath.

'Chenle...'

'I said I don't want to eat.'

'Why do you hate me so much..?'

Chenle smiled bitterly.

'Maybe if you hadn't ruined my life I wouldn't.'

'I'm sorry...'

'Say that to my father.' Chenle demanded.

'What? I didn't kill-'

'Jisung, you hurt absolutely everyone around me! People treated me like I was the monster!'

'But I wasn't the one who killed your father...'

'You probably were the one who crashed into my father's car and ran away. You made everyone hate me by hurting whoever got near me, do you understand what you made me go through?!'

'Why do you blame me for everything?'

'You literally killed five people in front of me!'

'That was because they wanted to hurt you!'

Chenle woke up and no one else was in class. He was alone there, the school was probably closed by now. He had fallen asleep in class and no one dared to wake him up fearing they'd be affected by Chenle's curse.

He slowly got up, he was still sleepy. He was sleep deprived, every night he had nightmares as soon as his eyes closed, so he kept himself awake by chugging down an unhealthy amount of energy drinks. He made his way back home, no one was waiting for him anyways, his father wasn't even alive. He used to live alone with his father, and when he lost him he didn't contact any of his relatives afraid of them passing away as well.

'Hey, isn't that the cursed kid?'

'Ohhh~ We got the little demon here~'

Chenle was deep in his thoughts, but as soon as he heard those voices he snapped back into reality. Four guys were seated in the park's bench messily, three of them with a cigarette in hand.
