the monster in my closet.

" what do we do? you don't have 911 here, do you? " i ask, looking at jungkook who is trying to wake up his mother.

" i dunno... " he says.

" where's the king? " i ask.

" we aren't allowed to disturb him... especially for my mom." he says.

" but you're gonna be the next king!! that's impossible. " i say. " hold her on your back. " i demand.

he puts her on his back. " what are we gonna do? " he asks.

" im gonna talk to that king of yours. you can't get in trouble. i just read the 10 laws. " i say, then grab his arm.

" hey! you can't-- "

" nope. i'm gonna do it. " i say.

i feel the sharp pain in my finger again.

" don't tell me it's closer to red... " i say.

" dont look... its... " jungkook says, wide eyed.

" tell me! "

" its... orange. "

" what? how! " i ask.

" i dont know! i told you we cant disturb him! " he says.

" oh well.. whats there to lose? its fine if i die. i dont want your mom to die, though, so eskeetit. " i say, trying to relax him.

" but yoomi... " he sighs.

we walk to the bottom floor.

" what are you two doing down here? " a really big lady dressed in all black with her hair fancily put up says.

" um.. "

" well, this amazing monster's mother has fainted and we are unsure of what to do. we know, she has broken a very important monster law, but that isnt important now! the king's precious niece is dying! its a life or death situation, so let us pass are else you would be considered a murderer. also, true love is true love and you can't do anything about it so stop being all petty about her breaking one of your bullshit laws. so, may we please pass so that we can talk to the king to see if he can do anything? " i say with the sternest voice possible.

" oh baby, you must be lost. who do you think you are?? " the lady says.

" well... i know that i am the acquaintance of this monster who just happens to be the next king. my name is min yoomi and i am human. do i need to sound it out for you? " i say.

am i being too rude? what if she stabs me?

" you will be fine. ill protect you. " jungkook whispers in my ear.

" oh really? so you can read each other's minds already? " she asks.

" yup. now, may you guide us to the king? please. we can't waste anymore time. " i say.

" after this monster says something. is this human your spokes person? are you mute? " she says, looking at jungkook.

" um mister-- i mean madam. please let us pass because the king's niece has fainted and we are trying to find a way to bring her back. " he says.

" hon. it's against our king's private laws... but since you'll be the next king, i'll let you pass." she says, moving out of the way.

dang she treated me like garbage and suddenly shes being all sweet to jungkook? so rude. and what are private laws?

" thank you very much.. madam. " i say as we walk passed.

she nods.

" i'll tell you what private laws are when we get back home. " he whispers.

" stop reading my mind, its so weird and creepy. "

" king? " Jungkook says.

" who has disturbed me? " he asks. i mean, those words could've been said way stern-er... but he sounds very kind.

" the pre-king. " i say, winking to jungkook.

" jungkook? is that so? " he asks, then turns around. he looks at jungkook's mom.

" how dare you bring this betrayer here-- "

" sir. shes dying. have some respect. please. " i say.

" wow. you two look very close. " he says, looking at jungkook and i.

" i guess you could say that, sir... we met around a day or two ago. " jungkook says.

" well.. your mother's fainted, huh? well... let me see what i can do. now, little miss. you cannot see this, for a new acquaintance is not 100% trusted yet, so please exit. or you can both go back home and i will communicate to you both." he says, understandingly.

this is so stupid! im trustworthy!

" you can stay, jungkook-- " i say.

" good bye, sir! we'll be back as soon as you call! " jungkook says, interrupting me. he gives the king his mother, then we walk back to the room.

" why didn't you stay? this is your mom you're talking about! and can we really trust her with this man who killed her husband? " i say.

" you know, for our visits, it can only be 1 day. so, if we stay 3 days, then that will take up all 3 visits. we pretty much have the maximum of 72 hours here. well, until i turn into the king.. but when i do, i'll stay here forever, and you'll have to stay here too. that lady was his acquaintance... she became the queen. and of course we can trust him! " he says.

" oh my gosh, im gonna be a queen?! " i ask.

" yes... now stop and put these back on. we're leaving." he says.

" okay... but let me relax my head. it's gonna hurt. " i say.

i breathe in, then breathe out. i put my eye mask on and then i put in my ear plugs.

" okay... i'm ready. " i say.

he puts his hands on my shoulders, then mumbles something in the monster language.

and the pain returns... i was literally screaming all of the curse words in my head.

then we zapped back to the human world.

i hear the door close, then look to jungkook.

so he was right. we'll be back here right after yoongi leaves...

" dude. that's freaking dope. " i say.
