You're a Monster | Chenji

LIII

Yukhei was panting, spanner in hand. His eyes were glassy as he looked at the man in front of him. He wasn't moving. There was a puddle of blood around his head, he carefully poked the man's side with his foot.

No reaction.

He covered his mouth and panicked silently. Would his father hit him if he found out this? What was he supposed to do now?

'Yukhei, what happened?' His father said as he unlocked the door and got inside Yukhei's room. 'What did you do?!' He raised his hand and Yukhei covered his face with his arms, trying to protect himself from the slap he was about to receive.

Much to his surprise, his father didn't hit him. He removed his arms from his face instead and patted his head, smirking.

'Your mom and I were planning to prostitute you and get money from old perverts, but you just gave me a better idea, little one.' He said as he softly caressed Yukhei's features and took the spanner from him. 'Dress up. We're going somewhere.'

His father left the room, not giving a fuck about the corpse that was still warm laying on Yukhei's floor.

Yukhei dropped himself on the bed, not really understanding what was going on. He was just seven, but he wasn't in school. His father made him drop out as soon as he turned seven. He'd seen the potential in his gorgeous, delicate looking child and decided he didn't need an education, the only thing he needed was to be obedient and submissive.

He obeyed his father's orders and got dressed quietly. He left the room without looking behind, he didn't want his father to beat him up for being too slow.

'Do it, Yukhei. Punch him.' His father said to him.

Yukhei was in front of another kid. The kid didn't look friendly at all, he threw a punch at him and Yukhei lost his balance and landed on his butt.

Yukhei, get up. Let's fight back!

Yukhei suddenly lost control of his own body. His body moved on its own, he got up quickly and spun around, kicking the other kid. When the kid fell, he kicked him on the stomach repeatedly, until he stopped moving. He let out an evil smirk as he looked at what he'd just done.

W-what did I just do?

You? I was the one who did it. You should thank me.

And that's how he met Lucas, his other personality. His crazy and wild self.

He was running, running away from his parents, from the fights, from the corpse he'd just left behind. His father had warned him numerous times. He was not allowed to kill people, he could only beat them up. But this time Lucas lost control and ended up killing that Lino guy in a fight.

Yukhei wanted to cry, he felt the tears welling up in his eyes which blurred his vision. Where was he going? No idea. He was going nowhere. What could he do all by himself? A kid with no education, with no parents, how would he-

Thud.

He bumped into someone while he was running, and that person who had the misfortune to bump into him landed on the floor.

'Ouch... Watch where you're going, kid!' He said. He got up, glaring at Yukhei as he dusted his clothes.

Yukhei was speechless. Suddenly, it was as if he didn't know how to talk. He wanted to apologize to that unknown person, but he couldn't place the words together to do so. Instead, he threw himself in the stranger's arms, hiding his face in his chest and letting the tears flow out of his eyes.

'Why are you crying, kid? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.' The stranger said. 'I'm Kun. What's your name?' Kun returned the hug and caressed Yukhei's back softly.

Yukhei sniffled. He didn't answer to the question, only sobs emerged from his mouth.

'Shhh... It's fine. You can cry all you want. Should I help you search for your parents?' Much to Kun's surprise, the kid shook his head vigorously. 'Do you want to come with me?'

Yukhei nodded, and Kun lead the way until they reached the older's house.

'Welcome home, ba-' Chittaphon stopped mid sentence as he saw another kid with Kun. 'What are we, an adoption center?' He rolled his eyes at Kun.

'I'm sorry, baby, it's not my fault we keep bumping into kids.' Kun protested.

'Who is he?' Chenle asked. He eyed Yukhei up and down.

Yukhei had stopped crying on their way, so he could now speak, although he was shy in front of these strangers.

'My name is Yukhei...'

'I'm Chenle, nice to meet you!'

'I'm Yangyang.'

Yukhei felt he was finally in the right place. Yangyang and Chenle were like his brothers and best friends at the same time. They had welcomed him since the first day. When he arrived, Chittaphon was the first one to find out about his two personalities. He immediately sent him to a psychiatrist who gave him the medication he needed to keep Lucas in line. He felt understood and cherished, like he finally found a true family.

'Tsk.' Taeyong removed his hand from Yukhei's body and faced the humans. 'I told you we would not hesitate to kill if you humans did something suspicious.'

'Yukhei!' Yangyang ran towards the taller, holding him. Yukhei's blood stained his shirt, but he couldn't care less. 'Yukhei, please, don't die!' He shook Yukhei, but the taller didn't respond.

Yukhei's eyes were still open, his life flashing before his eyes. Yangyang cried and his tears blended with Yukhei's blood that was sprouting from the wound.

'Y-yukhei... Yukhei!'

Yukhei heard his name being called from the distance, but his body did not react to his orders. His breathing slowed down, and his eyes slowly closed.

'N-no...' Yangyang picked Yukhei up. 'Y-you... Why is it always you?!' He yelled at Jungwoo.

'Let's go.' Kun said, with Chenle still in his arms.
