Is this Healthy or Toxic? IM Changkyun(Part 1 - Monsta X idol AU! series)

Chapter 6 - Let's Try Differently

The rest of the week, Liv and I.M made an effort to focus on their work and pretend that everything was fine. Jooheon had tried to approach his friend and ask him what had happened but had not achieved anything. Meanwhile, Liv wrote to I.M several times, but she hadn't gotten much either, since he continued declining invitations saying that it was because of work.

Kihyun never meant to hurt them, but he knew that with both of them, that was the only way to make them react. Seeing I.M with the rest of the members and not only in his apartment made Kihyun think that he had reconsidered his relationship. Just when he was about to talk to the rapper, he got a totally unexpected message.

Liv. "The house is already sold." The message had a photo attached and Kihyun could see the girl's signature.

On the one hand, he thought that Liv had finally taken a huge step, but on the other, Kihyun remembered I.M's comment about her last memories with her family being demolished.

Kihyun. "Are you okay?"

Liv. "I will."

That day I.M didn't get a message from Olivia, he was looking at his cellphone several times but there was nothing. At night, his notifications continued on zero, something that surprised him, since despite having a lot of work, they always talked at least a little. Even though he wrote to her, there was no answer. He didn't know whether to call her, give her space, or just ignore the situation. I.M was normally too calm, he dealt with his problems alone, but that day he felt a little uneasy, even a little anxious. Finally, when he managed to talk to her, he calmed down a bit. Liv sounded normal, exactly the same as always and that made him breathe easy. A few days later, they saw each other in the girl's apartment, and they didn't have a minute of seeing each other when they were already in bed making up for all the lost time.

Since the sale of the house Liv had not been able to sleep well, but when they were resting on the bed and she felt I.M's chest and felt his calm breathing again, she immediately fell asleep.

"Liv?" He asked when the girl didn't answer him and when he saw her sleep, I.M smiled and hugged her a little tighter. 

The rapper was trying to grab a blanket from the floor when he looked at something on the table next to the bed, it was the papers for the sale of the house. After putting them back in their place, I.M thought about talking about it with his girl, at least trying to ask how she felt. Despite being extremely discrete, he knew that something like that couldn't just be ignored, but Liv hadn't given him that confidence yet and he couldn't do anything, so he just hugged her and let her rest as much as she wanted.

"How long did I sleep?" Liv asked looking at the time on the rapper's watch. "No way, it's been a long time, you almost have to go."

"Don't worry, you were tired, you've worked a lot." He said kissing her forehead.

That night they weren't as smiling as always, I.M couldn't see her act like anything when he knew she wasn't okay, but it frustrated him that he couldn't speak and it frustrated him, even more, to feel that she couldn't trust him. Chankyun had talked about many issues with her, even things that he didn't talk about with Jooheon; he imagined that Liv could understand that she could talk about anything with him too, but she never said anything related to her past or how she felt. The only time he felt the girl was being totally honest was when they were in bed or when they were composing.

Meanwhile, Liv perceived him quite tense and exactly the same happened the next times they saw each other. Moreover, Olivia realized that it was getting harder and harder to see him and the time they had was getting shorter.
