Monster: Sequel To "Relax..."

16: Bruised Toy

One week.

One week, and I've decided:

I can't kill D.O.

Not because he's stronger than me, faster than me, and is some kind of literal, god, but because he's too kind.

Why, why the hell is he so kind to me?

~ Flashback ~

I wake the morning after the dinner incident to a faint knocking on the door. I sit up, rubbing my eyes. " Yes?" I call out shakily. " It's D.O, may I come in?" I sit up a bit more, before calling out a yes. The door unlocks and he walks inside, smiling at me. " Good morning Moon, are you feeling okay?" He asks.

" As good as a kidnapped girl should feel," I say quietly. He gives me a sympathetic look before smiling. " Are you hungry?" He asks. " No." My growling stomach betrays me, making me groan. After I went to my room last night my appetite came right back, making me regret skipping the meal.

" You don't have to go to breakfast, I'll bring it to you and tell the others you're not feeling well," he says, walking out the door. I don't bother trying to run out the clearly unlocked door, thinking of it as a test.

D.O comes back rather quickly, carrying a covered tray in each  hand. He smiles at me before bringing the food to my bed and setting it down beside me. He hands me chopsticks and a few napkins, before quickly leaving the room, coming back with a cup of orange juice and a cup of milk.

" Enjoy, I'll come back after breakfast for your dishes," he says, walking out the room and locking the door. I listen for his footsteps to disappear before uncovering the trays hungrily. The food looks like it was made by gourmet chefs, the smells wafting into my nose making droll flow down my chin.

I don't think twice before grabbing some chopsticks and diving into the food, eating as much as I can as quickly as possible. The food is so good, I pout when I realize it's all gone. I slowly set the chopsticks down and put the plates back on the trays with the lids on, setting them on the bedside table.

I slowly climb out of bed and climb into the shower, leaving the undergarments and clothes on the floor of the bathroom. I take a hot shower, slowly scrubbing my body and soaking. After a while I get out the shower with slightly pruned fingers, wrapping my body in a towel.

I walk into my room, going to the dresser. Opening the correct on the first try proves to be a struggle, but I eventually find the drawer of colorful bras, and the one under it full of the colorful panties. I grab a matching set, slipping them on up my towel and waking over to the closet.

I go with a pair of black high waisted shorts with flower printed leggings on under them, and a cropped Adidas sweatshirt with a floral print. I pull on an original black and white pair of Adidas after my monkey socks.

Monkey socks? How old am I?

Another knock on the door interrupts my very interesting staring contest with the wall, making me turn. " Yes?" " It's me." I turn all the way, saying he can come in. D.O opens the door with another smile, looking immediately to the trays on the ground. " I'll get one," my mouth says before I can think, making both of us widen our eyes.

" Oh no it's-" " Please, I don't mind," I say slowly, standing from my spot on the floor. He sends me a smile, then he and I grab a tray and start walking through the confusing halls to the kitchen. The kitchen is as beautiful as the dining room, but much much, bigger. Many chefs mile around, cleaning and putting away extra food. They all fall silent as they see us, going about their work quickly.

D.O and I quickly set down the trays and leave, walking rather slowly back to my room. " I know this was all so abrupt and sudden, but, I don't know I'm just sorry," he says, stopping outside my room. I nod, going inside as the door shuts.

I don't leave the room for the rest of the day, D.O bringing me all my meals. I don't see Kai or Sehun for a while, until after D.O and I are walking back to my room after dinner.

My eyes glance casually to my left and I freeze, my jaw dropping. Kai lays on a bed, completely still and limbs bent at odd angles, white sticking out at the worst parts. He's battered and bruised, covered in blood. D.O notices that I've stopped and walks over. " Moon what is i-" When his eyes see what mine do he grabs me quickly, dragging me away from the room.

" D.O! D.O, what the hell happened to him? Why does he look like that?!" I scream, starting to worry about my own safety. " Nothing, he'll be okay, just stay in your room okay?" D.O says as though I have a choice before throwing me into my room and slamming the door shut, the sound of him hastily locking the door echoing in the room.

No one comes for me for two days. I always heard yelling and screaming, thuds and bumps each day. Finally one morning I wake to knocking. I groggily sit up, seeing Kai. He's completely fine. No odd wounds, no bruises, no blood. Just tan glowing skin, crisp suit, and a soft smile. He takes a step towards me and I jerk back in bed, my eyes wide. He looks at me in confusion.

" What the hell happened?" I ask, my voice shaking. He frowns. " What do you mean?" He asks. " I mean, how the hell are you even walking?! I saw you with my own eyes, you were laying down, you looked like some kind of bendable toy, you were covered with blood and bruised, I saw it!!" I scream. He sighs.

" Moon, come here." I spit out a laugh. He shrugs. In a second he appears next to me, making my eyes widen and me scream. He grabs me and then we're suddenly outside, D.O waiting casually. When he sees me his eyes widen.

"Kai, what are you doing?!"
