✔️Taming My Monster

17. Cry For Help

Your PoV

I woke up and found myself in Dahyun and Chaeyoung's room. I realized then that I stayed up all night here.

I looked around to check the time and saw that it's already morning by the sunrise coming from their window.

Not so long, Dahyun and Chaeyoung woke up too. As far as I remember, we slept and finished by 4. I only had fee hours of sleep compared to the usual sleep I got.

"Good morning Y/N." Chaeyoung said.

"I'll just go to my room. Please take care of the project, please. I'll meet you at our classroom." I said and left their room.

I walked in our room, using my key. As I walked in, I saw Tzuyu came out of the bathroom who just finished taking a shower.

"Good morning." I said but she didn't reply and walked passed me.

"Good morning, Tzuyu." I repeated as I thought she didn't see me.

After minutes she didn't reply. She's so focused on drying her hair aggressively.

"I'm not going to school, I don't feel well." Tzuyu said without looking at me.

"Not feeling well?" I asked and walked to her. I put the back of my hand on her forehead but she immediately shoved it.

"What are you doing?!" She yelled which surprised me.

"Uh checking you? You said you don't feel well. Are you sick?" I asked and looked at her but I noticed something strange.

I tried to look at her eyes as I thought I saw something else. But she keeps avoiding her gaze as she stood up her bed and walked to the trashbin.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

She didn't reply, she took the garbage bag and walked out without any response.

For some reason, I found it very strange. I know that Tzuyu and I doesn't really talk. Well she doesn't really talk to me, but I always try to approach her. And it's not like she always avoid or ignore me.

"What's wrong with her?"

I decided to ignore it since I'll be late if I won't start preparing. As I'm walking to the bathroom, I noticed a mark on the floor. There's a light scratch of I don't know what.

Maybe it happened when Tzuyu's group are working on their project.

I just entered the bathroom to take a shower and prepare for my class.

__________

I am walking to school and I only have few minutes before the start of class. I could have more time if I didn't wait on Tzuyu to comeback.

After she left to throw the garbage, she didn't comeback yet. I waited for minutes but decided to left after it took long.

"Maybe I'll just check on her on lunchbreak."

As I got in the classroom, I told Momo that Tzuyu can't come since she doesn't feel well. Good thing that Eunwoo finished their project last night.

"Maybe she ate too much chips, I told her to share it to you." Momo said.

I shrugged and sat on my seat. The empty chair in front of me was Tzuyu's seat.

"How's your project anyway?" Momo asked.

"We finished it until 4, I just had a small sleep so I don't feel well too." I confessed.

Dahyun and Chaeyoung came too, carrying out project.

Our class who's half empty two days ago is now full again. Except for Tzuyu.

Not so long our teacher came, the presentation started and we just did our best to present a best report.

Tzuyu's PoV

As I left the room, I immediately went to the dumpster where I could throw the garbage that I took in our room.

My adrenaline is still high even tho I haven't sleep last night. Like some kind of drug was running into my body. But no.

I still can remember it vividly. I could compare it to a nightmare but this time, I am awake.

That was my first time experiencing that. And the fact that Y/N almost caught me is a terrifying thing for me.

After I left the building in the middle of the night, I felt my whole body vanished and tranformed into new being.

I run as fast as I can. Wishing that no one will saw me. I was running for my life as if I am not a monster who should be running to catch their prey.

I run until I arrived at the first gate. I saw no one around which is a relief. As I thought I am fine and safe, I saw myself in the reflection of water.

I've changed.

"No! This is not me! This is not me!"

I remember that is the sentence that I keep on repeating. As I saw a new figure of me. Scarier, darker, bigger... I completely changed into a monster.

As I thought that my fear won't be more scarier, I was wrong. I saw something... Alive.

The liquid on my mouth is continuesly dripping. All I am thinking is that thing inside my stomach.

"Arf!"

I shut my eyes as I heard that sound again. The sound of innocent living before I killed it... Before I ate it.

I looked at the dumpster where I threw the garbage. Where I also threw bunch of clothes just to clean the bloody being I became.

"I have to call dad, I can't stay here anymore." I said as I ran back to the dorm.

It's already empty, Y/N left. I rushed to my closet and get my phone. I dialed dad's number, pacing back and forth.

"Pick up the phone. Pick up the phone..."

I tried to call mom but the same fate happened.

In my rage, I throw my phone on the floor.

But then I felt something in my stomach that made me scream in pain, real pain.

I slammed on the ground, clenching my stomach. I feel like I want to throw up so bad.

What's happening?

Is this because of what I ate?
