Closet Monster

Chapter 22

Doyoung had a huge headache. His head might just burst any moment now. His heart too.

He has made a big mistake. He really shouldn't have contacted Soobin without telling Lily. Now because of this his best friend is missing for six days now. There's no way to contact her or Jungkook. She had left her phone at his house that very night he called Soobin over to his house and God knows where Jungkook's phone is. He is unable to track it. He is worried sick. What if's are causing a hurricane in his mind.

All he hopes is that Lily is fine. He wants nothing more. He won't be able to forgive himself if Lily does something bad to herself.

Doyoung had his head buried in the cushion of the couch of his living room, sick with worry and headache. Gaeul has suggested that he would massage Doyoung's head, but Doyoung refused and asked him to go and study. Doyoung needs to know how to study properly to be able to get admitted in the fancy school Doyoung wants to admit him. Miko was with Gaeul.

Doyoung didn't feel like doing anything at all. He groaned when his phone rang. He somehow fished his phone from the tea table beside him and answered it with no will to drag the conversation or speak at all. He would immediately hang up, if it's not an emergency.

"Hello, Kim Doyoung speak.."

"You little rat ass fucker."

Doyoung immediately sprung up from his position and stood up straight hearing the oh so familiar voice that he missed heavily for the last six days. He spoke with utter relief and happiness at the healthy sounding voice of the other side,"Oh my God, Lily. I'm so sorry. I deserve to die. Please come and kill me. But first tell me if you're okay and where are you?"

"Now you're worried about me? You fucking hypocrite? After putting me through that? And yes..you do deserve to die. You better sleep with one eye open from now on, you bitch."

Doyoung smiled brightly even after hearing the threats of a psychopathic serial killer on the other side of the phone,"You do that. But first tell me where are you and are you okay? Should I come pick you up? Is Jungkook with you?"

"Yes, of course he's with me. He's my partner. And no, no need to pick us up. We are coming back to Seoul today by evening. Listen..the reason I called you. I've decided what I'm gonna do about the mess you've caused."

"I really am sorry for that. I swear I'm gonna cut all connections with Soobin. If needed I'm gonna change both my house and my name..Soobin would never be able to find us again..."

"Stop being over dramatic and stop over compensating. Listen to me and listen to what you need to do."

"Yeah?"

"So this evening..."

"Yes?"

He could hear a sigh from Lily as she thought about how she is going to say what she's about to say next,"Umm.."

"Are you okay?"

The next thing Lily did was she spoke really fast.

"Listen-call-Soobin-to-your-house-this-evening-if-he-wants-to-come-I-wanna-talk-to-him-Bye."

She hung up after that. She had spoken so quick, it was hard for Doyoung to follow it. But from the bits he did hear, he can gather that she has asked him to call Soobin over to his house so she can talk to him. Doyoung can't believe it. He really thought Lily is gonna shut Soobin out of her life once again. But seeing how she wants to talk to him...this is such a good sign!

Doyoung jumped happily in victory and punched the air happily a few times, squealing in happiness. When Gaeul heard the commotion he came outside and saw his hyung, that was sick a few minutes ago is now jumping around like a crazy person.
