THE BLUE [Monsta X]

Chapter 5

Wonho laid in his bed and wasn't able to sleep - again. That he was dead tired didn't change anything. His head was full of thoughts. What was it that made me smell her sweet scent? What made me taste the sweet in her coffee? Even the speculations of the others didn't give him a clear answer. Is it possible that the effects of the blue liquid vanish? But why was it only her scent which I could smell? Wonho just caught himself in unanswerable questions. He stood up as he couldn't lay in his bed anymore and walked over to his window to get some fresh air. He silently stared up to the dark sky as he found himself thinking of Shinyoung. No matter how often he tried to think of something else, the thought of her and the memory of the sweet scent and taste always came back. At this moment, Wonho realized how deadfully he misses to be able to taste and smell and how badly he envies all the humans for this trait. Well, it isn't like he wasn't born with these senses too, but since he had to drink the blue liquid in order to prevent himself of becoming unhuman, his senses were restrained. He silently cursed being born as a ghoul but after all, he still was thankful for the opportunity to ward his ghoul characteristics and live a normal life among humans - thanks to the liquid.
As the sun slowly started to rise, Wonho was finally able to calm down and get some sleep.

It was already 1PM when Wonho woke up again. The first thing to come to his mind was Shinyoung. He took his cellphone to write her a message. Then he went to take a shower. As he came back, Shinyoung's answer had already arrived.
1:11 PM; Shinyoung: »Hi Wonho, what's up?«
1:24 PM; Wonho: »Are you free today?«
1:25 PM; Shinyoung: »Yup«
1:25 PM; Wonho: »Wanna meet at 2 PM in the Café near the dorm?"
1:26 PM; Shinyoung: »Sure, see you there :)«

As they met at the café, they ate ice cream and talked a lot.
Shinyoung seemed mostly interested in how and why he became an idol. She asked about it alot until she couldn't come up with new questions. So it was Wonhos turn to get to know her a bit. He asked her stuff about herself and what her life was like.
He hadn't talked as much as this with a girl ever since his debut. And he didn't ever feel this comfortable around a girl.

Thus it didn't remain with one meeting and the two met more often - lastly every day - and their friendship grew closer. They both were happy with the new friend they made until the day that some strange thoughts popped up in Wonhos head and wouldn't go away:

I am addicted to her scent.

Do I actually really like her as a person?
