Hello, Mr. Sanity | Chanbaek

Chapter 11

"I will always be a monster. It's a given. I can't just not be one. It doesn't work like that. The universe doesn't allow it that way. I'm a monster. That is how I was made. A monster that stays forever this way. A monster that won't be able to change. My story isn't like some beauty and the beast crap. My story is me, being a beast and will always be a beast, no matter how many times the beauty comes to me. I am always the beast. I just need to let out the beast (😏) a few more times to show everyone.

"You can't change a beast. So why bother keeping me here? Why? What's the point. If they think I will change then they have it all wrong. Staying here will just have the beast grow more. I will be more of a monster now than I was before."

"Is there anymore you want to add to that?" Baekhyun asked after looking to his jotted notes, marking some, circling some. It was the same as anything else I said.

"I'm planning an escape soon." I spoke, my mind couldn't even censor fast enough.

He raised an eyebrow as he looked to me, "Oh, are you now? How are you thinking of pulling that off?"

"Well there's this nurse. She always brings me extra food and doesn't make me feel like absolute crap. I'll just convince her to let me out and I'll be on my way." I spoke, my hands moving with each word and jester I made.

Baekhyun only laughed softly, "If you want to do that, then you can. I'm not one to stop someone from their dreams. Remember that you can be anything you want to be. But if you are trying to plan that and ending up successful is a lot of wasted work."

"Why do you say it's wasted?"

"I'm not supposed to be telling you this, or even bringing it up at all. But, your release is going to be soon. I've convinced them to let you out into the real world, as long as you stay with me. That means you'll be with me at all times, Chanyeol. You'll have to come with me to work, you'll be living with me. But you also can't lash out at anything. You say that nothing can help and change the beast that's inside. But I think it will change. I think if you believe enough than anything can change as long as you're not in any negative environment, such as this one." (I could totally be a therapist)

I stared at him, my eyes blinking and fluttering as I tried to wrap my head around what he just said. I'll be living with Baekhyun, my beauty. I'll be able to be out of this hell with my sanity. I'll be out and living again. I'll be out.

And it's all thanks to my doctor, the one thing I never wanted in the beginning. Maybe I should thank Sehun when he visits next as well.

"That sounds amazing.." Were the only words that slipped from my mouth.

I paused a moment, staring to Baekhyun who now sat beside me, a small smile sewed into his face as he waited for more.

"Thank you, Baekhyun."
