Monster: Sequel To "Relax..."

21: Secret Recipe

Kai looks up at me with an expression of confusion, and I push him out of my lap, scooting away from him. Glancing at the clock, it tells me it's 3:05 in the fucking morning.

"What are you doing here?!" I demand again. He flinches, squeezing his eyes shut just to leave them slightly open. "I, I wanted to see you, and I just got back, I wanted to see you," he slurs, and I realize he's drunk.

"Where were you?" I push immediately, and he groans. "Just hold me,..." He whispers, climbing on the bed and resting his head on my chest now. His weight pushes me back on the bed and he wraps his arms around my waist. Sure enough, he smells of expensive alcohol.

I lay stiffly on my back, as Kai nuzzles his head in my chest. "Can you play with my hair?" He mumbles, and I slowly comply, not wanting to upset him.

He doesn't seem like he'd deal with rejection well while drunk.

"Kai?" I whisper. He hums sleepily, his head getting heavier on my chest. "Where were you before came to see me?" I ask gently. He slowly lifts his head and I expect to see anger on his face, but instead it's sadness. He takes one of his hands and gently strokes my face, watching my facial expressions. I keep it curious, trying to hide the disdain and repulse.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I hurt him, I didn't want to, but I had to, I'm sorry, I hurt him so bad, " he whispers, a tear running down his beautiful face. My dream makes everything make sense.

"Who did you hurt Kai?" I ask shakily, feeling tears press at the back of my eyes. He squints for a moment, dropping his hand to my side and intertwining our fingers. He brings our joined hands up to his face and kisses my knuckles gently. Glancing down at his hands, I see his knuckles are busted and dried blood still clings to them.

"I'm sorry Moon, I know what you're doing," he says, sounding more sober. I start to panic, needing to know if he hurt Jackson. My, Jackson. "Kai, just tell me who you hurt, please," I whisper urgently. He sighs deeply, still staring at my knuckles. His face contorts and he's crying.

"Lu, I hurt Lu,..."

A wave of relief crashes against my body violently, nearly stopping my heart. "Who's Lu?" I ask softly, stroking his hair again to coax an answer out of him. He lowers his head to my chest again, closing his eyes. "Luhan, he's my brother," he mumbles, and my hands hesitating in their movements for a second, before continuing in their actions.

"And Lay healed him?" I ask. He slowly nods, sighing deeply. His tears soak into my shirt lightly, and his other arm tightens slightly around my waist.

We sit in silence for so long I think he's finally asleep, but then he speaks.

"Thank you," he says quietly. I frown. "For what?" I ask. He chuckles a bit. "For doing all of this. I know you hate me, but for these past, past few weeks you've been giving me, a chance. And it's made me very, very happy, and I know its all an act but I don't care, I'm just glad you're making me happy," he admits, falling silent after. I'm left in a slight shock. I didn't think he'd even notice, since he wanted me to like him so much.

I can't help but feel a bit bad, due to my caring nature. I continue to stroke his hair until he starts to snore softly.

"I'm sorry Kai, I'm sorry that I'm not who you think I am. Hopefully you can find her, but its not me. I hope she finds you, and loves you. Because I don't. And I won't. I'm leaving, and I'm never coming back," I whisper, kissing the top of his head gently. I slowly lean back, closing my eyes.

- Oh Sehun -

No fucking way. I slowly back away from Moon's door, my brain trying to process everything. No, she can't leave. I can't let her. I won't, let her. Not when we've just gotten her back.

What is there for her to even go back to?

I rack my brain for any, everything, that she could go back to. No parents, she's an orphan. No siblings, she's an only child. She never found out about her grandparents, she doesn't know who they are. There's literally-

Oh my god.

It was right in front of my face.

How could I have not realized sooner?

" I love you Jackson..."

Jackson.

A smirk slowly pushes it's way onto my face.

Kai is so desperate for her love, I'm sure he'd do anything to get it...

I continue smirking as I go up to my room.

- Yomi Moon -

When I wake, Kai is gone. The blankets have been tucked snugly under my body, leaving me comfortably warm.

When I sit up I see my breakfast on my nightstand, the steam still coming off of it. The clock reads 10:46 am, signalling that I've missed breakfast with the others by an hour and forty six minutes. My stomach growls and I quickly dig into the delicious breakfast.

Half way through the meal, I notice something. The food, its a bit, funny tasting. I've tasted it before, the strange taste. My eyes widen as realization dawns on me.

It tastes just as chloroform smells.

Just as I piece this together, I start to get dizzy. My food was drugged. I see a small piece paper on the bottom of the tray, and sluggishly reach for it, falling out my bed.

The tray comes down on top of me, the half eaten food getting all over my mid section. The paper flutters by my fingers, and I weakly grab it. It turns into twos as I struggle to lift it, finally opening it, as it was folded.

Hope you enjoyed breakfast, I added my secret recipe ❤

- Sehun

I drop the paper as my door opens, footsteps coming over to me. I look up, flowing in and out of consciousness. Sehun smiles cheekily down at me. "I'm guessing you liked my recipe?" He chuckles, squatting beside me. I glare at him, before my eyelids are as heavy as bricks, slowly shutting.
