Closet Monster

Chapter 5

What is beauty?

Beauty is a term used to describe something or someone that pleases your eyes and soul, makes you happy and feel blessed that your eyes landed on that or them. It is supposed to be a very good thing.

But why is it that, people can't tolerate beauty? Beauty brings greed, desire, jealousy and so many ill feelings. If they see something beautiful they either want it to themselves or ruin it completely. Why is that?

Human nature, that's why. They can't tolerate anything or anyone beautiful. Why? Cause they are rotten from the inside. That's just how humans are.

You won't believe how low others can stoop to ruin someone. It gives them extra pleasure if the person happens to be beautiful. Some people beg to God take away the beauty they are born with. Because their beauty is the reason behind their misery.

Lily's new client is one of them. Lily's mother was also one of them. Her beauty was the reason behind a lot of her miseries along with her absolutely awful fate. Lily doesn't think she has ever seen her mother smile even though she would've looked so much beautiful is she smiled. Lily blames God to give her mother such a miserable fate, miserable death and such astonishing beauty that was a big reason behind it...

"What are you thinking?"

Lily's trail of thoughts were broken when she heard his voice coming from the closet. She turned her head from the white ceiling to the closet.

Jungkook was sitting in the closet with the closet doors wide open and looking curious about her as usual.

Thinking about her newest client made her take a little unwanted trip down the memory lane. She could still hear her mother's horrified screams in her head. She doesn't like it one bit. She hates flashbacks.

So annoying.

Jungkook pulled her out at the thoughts. Talking to this Jungkook guy might be a mistake. But she doesn't mind him too much. But for some reason Jungkook doesn't feel like the last one. They have been living together for two months now. And having a little company in this lonely house isn't too bad. And it's fun to tease him. His expressions towards her thoughts and work amuses her.

"Thinking about my next client and victim,"Lily said,"Should I use a machete this t.."

"Please stop,"Jungkook said widening his eyes.

Lily smirked. His reaction was just like she expected. The fact that a monster is so horrified about what she is doing is so absolutely fun to her. Free entertainment.

"Are you going to do that again?" Jungkook asked.

"Of course, Jungkook. It's my job. I get paid for that. And.."

"And..?"

Lily smirked again,"It's fun."

Jungkook widened his eyes more,"Are you fucking insane?"

That made Lily break out in a chuckle. She turned back to the ceiling while chuckling.

Am I insane?

"Maybe?"Lily said.

"Why did I even ask? You definitely are insane,"Jungkook said and sighed,"So..when's that?"

"What? The murder?"

"Can you not use that word so casually? And yes.. when's that?"

"Tomorrow probably? Maybe tonight if I feel like it? Who knows?"
