Call Me Monster

Chapter 18

Kyungsoo

"I'll kick them so hard they can only eat through a tube for the next few months." Baekhyun said angrily while walking back and forth. "And where was the other asshead, you said?"

"Jongin came in later," I repeated myself. "But Baekie, please calm down. I'm fine."

"Look at you!" He said. "Your eye is swollen, your lip is busted and your body is full with bruises. They lowered themselves, I have to say. First they were just nasty dicks, but now they are really going the wrong way!"

I sighed, he was right, but what was there to do? Going to a teacher never helped. That was obvious. So what's left? My mom? No, definitely not! She was already hurt enough. "What should we do then?" I asked, looking up at him. "I don't wanna tell my mom what happened."

Baekhyun looked at me with pity in his eyes, he walked over to the bed and sat down next to me. "Soo, she should know."

"I'm not gonna tell her, Baek. That's final." I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "I mean it."

"You could say you don't know them?" He suggested. "Maybe that makes it a little better."

"I think it would," I agreed.

"What about tomorrow?" He asked. "Are you going?"

"I think so," I looked down at my hands. "If I stay home I'll have to deal with my dad."

Baekhyun decided to ignore the last sentence, "what about Kai?"

"What do you mean?" I turned my face to look out of the window.

"What did you guys do?" Baekhyun's face was full with curiosity. "You've been with him this night, right?"

"Yes, but we didn't do anything like what I suspect you are thinking of."

"Pfff," he scoffed. "You stay the night with Kai, amazing hot Kai, and you guys didn't do anything." He pulled a face, "make it a little more credible, please."

I laughed, "he is hot, right?"

Baekhyun playfully pushed me, "come on Kyungsoo, we're trailing off."

"Okay, okay." I looked back at him. "He took me home after what happened and I fell asleep in his bed."

"Did he sleep next to you?"

I nodded. "Yeah, he held me in his arms."

"Oh my gosh," Baekhyun covered his mouth. "I'm impressed."

"We kissed too," I pulled my knees up to my chest and hugged them. "Several times."

Baekhyun looked at me with big eyes, "and you haven't told me because?"

"I'm sorry Baekie, I was just so confused of the sudden change myself."

"Kyungsoo," his voice turned suddenly serious. "Please be careful."

I bit my lip, but didn't say anything back. I knew he was right, I just didn't want it to be true. I was so in love with Jongin that it probably made me blind. He was just so sweet lately and caring. I wasn't going to tell Baekhyun about him being my boyfriend. He wouldn't understand.
"What about you and Chanyeol?" I said, trying to change the subject.

"There's nothing to tell. We didn't sleep in the same bed, nor did we kiss. Like you."

I rolled my eyes, "do you want to though?"

"Shut up," Baekhyun answered. "We weren't talking about me."

I chuckled, "of course you want it."

When I was at home again and had talked with my mother, my ringtone went off. I grabbed my phone and saw it was Jongin. "Hello?"

"Hey, babe, how did it went with your parents?"

My heart fluttered when I heard Jongin's beautiful voice calling me babe. "She was mad at first, but when she saw my face she forgot about last night."

"Good." There was a silence before he spoke again. "What did you tell her?"

"I told her I didn't know them."

"Okay. You know," he chuckled. "I miss you here. My bed's empty."

I laughed, "poor you."

"Are you going to school tomorrow?"

"I think so," I responded. "You too?"

"How about I pick you up in the morning?" He suggested. "Is that a good idea?"

"If you want to." I started playing with the hem of my shirt.

"You know, you never told me what happened at school."

"Wh... What happened?" I thought back at what Suho, Tao and Kris told me to say in the bathroom. "Is that necessary?"

"Well, no. I just thought you maybe wanted to talk about it. What was it about?"

"About you," I admitted.

"Me?" He asked surprised. "What about me?"

I sighed, "I needed to say things about you."

"Like what?"

"Jongin, I really don't wanna talk about it." I stood up and walked over to the window.

"Sorry." He quickly said. 

"I'll see you tomorrow." I didn't want to hang up, but hearing his voice was somehow painful.

"I guess you are tired, I'll let you sleep then." There was something in his voice I've never heard before and I couldn't figure out what it was. "Good night baby."

"Good night."
