Monster: Sequel To "Relax..."

26: I Love You

~ Kim Jongin ~

I'm woken by a pounding on my door. What the fuck?!

I teleport to my bedroom door, yanking it open and ready to scream and or murder someone. But when I'm met with Lay's frantic face I pause. Something's wrong.

"They're gone and Moon's down where they were!"

It takes me a few moments to process this, and I feel everything crash on me at once. "WHAT?!" I screech. Lay turns and runs down the hall and I immediately follow, not caring that I'm still in my boxers.

Lay and I take different paths; he outside and I to the basement.

I decide to just teleport to the sub-basement, feeling the cold prick my legs. Standing in the middle of the room is Moon. Before I walk over to her, I realize she's crying. "Moon?" I call cautiously.

When she turns to me I find my thoughts are correct; she has tears running down her face. I open my mouth to ask her what's wrong, but she speaks before me.

"I remember."

Her words leave me in shock. But my eyes slowly go to her hand, to the finger she always...the ring. It lies on her ring finger of her right hand. Simply sparkling, and showing me that she remembers.

The feeling inside me is something I've never experienced at all, nothing I can describe. She takes a couple of timid steps before running and throwing herself against my body. I stand there for a moment before engulfing her in my arms, holding her tightly and closely. She sobs into my shoulder, clutching whatever she can grab(which is currently my back but I'm not complaining).

"Kai," she whispers, slowly pulling away. I hum, looking at her beautiful face with adoration. Her face just reflects what I hope mine does, and that makes my heart warm. "Yes?" I ask quietly. I'm just waiting for this to be a dream, I'm going to wake up and she's going to be gone, she's going to hate me, she's going to-

"I love you."

My stomach flops and my throat clogs. She smiles at me, and then her lips are against mine. I can't breath as we kiss, and when she pulls away to smile at me, all the air is gone. Suddenly she pouts playfully.

"Yah, do you not love me anymore?!" she says. I quickly catch her lips with my own again, and afterwards I rest my forehead against hers. "I'll always love you," I whisper, and this makes her giggle and smile.

"So,...you put me in a car and caught it on fire?" she says. I can't help but laugh. "I think that its probably better for me to explain everything when I have all my clothes on," I say. "Unless, you'd prefer I take all of them off,..?" I smirk. She rolls her eyes, pushing me away. "You just had to ruin the moment didn't you?" she sighs. I laugh and pull her back into my arms. Having her here makes me feel complete.

I smile as I teleport her to my room, and am surprised when she pushes me away. "Moo-" She's holding her mouth shut as her cheeks poof out, and I realize she's going to barf. "There! Bathroom!" I yell, pointing to the door. She sprints into the bathroom, and I follow after her as she pukes into the toilet. I hold her hair back, sitting beside her as I rub her back gently.

"Are you done now?" I ask gently. She nods and I quickly help her sit up. "Here, I'll go get your toothbrush," I say, teleporting to her bathroom and grabbing her toothbrush. When I get back to my room she's still on the floor, except she's looking around.

"Here," I say, holding out her toothbrush. She grabs her toothbrush and thanks me, before smirking as she moves closer. I immediately take a step back, holding out a finger heart to keep her at a distance.

"No offense, but I don't wanna kiss you while you're all, barf-breath," I hum. She pouts, looking offended. "But I thought you looooved me," she sings sadly, turning away from me. I laugh, kissing her head. "Now brush your teeth barf-breath," I tease, walking into my actual room to put on my clothes.

I hear her start the faucet and start to look for some clothes. I pick out some sweats and a t-shirt, and as I'm pulling my shirt over my head I hear her walk up behind me. I pull the shirt fully on and turn to her, hearing her whine.

"What?" I laugh lightly. "I like your back muscles, they were hot," she says bluntly, wrapping her arms around my waist as she rests her head on my chest. "You are so weird," I say, wrapping my arms around her. She looks up at with a face of slight annoyance. "So I compliment you and you call me weird? I'm offended," she says.

I laugh, kissing the tip of her nose. "Too bad," I chuckle. She gasps, looking at me with wide eyes. " You did NOT just get an attitude with me, bOY!" she yells. I just laugh again, but our little moment is ruined as my door is thrown open.

"They fucking got away- hey," Chanyeol says, looking between us. "Is there anything else you'd like to say?" I ask, rolling my eyes. "Uh, um no, I'm good, okay bye," he stutters, quickly exiting. "He's talking about Luhan and them, isn't he?" she quietly asks.

I pull her a little closer, frowning slightly. "Yes," I answer honestly. There is no reason to lie to her. "I'm glad," she whispers. I raise an eyebrow down at her. "They were my friends, they were kind, and what you all did was unfair," she says, the last part a bit sharp.

I sigh deeply. "Come on," I say, pulling her to the bed. I gently sit her down, holding her hands before sighing again. "I'm not going to lie to you; I was a very bad and unfair person before we found you. I was cruel, angry and hurt. Hurt that you were gone, and that there was a possibility of never seeing you again. I lashed out at everything, and I know now that that was the wrong approach. Hell, even when I had you I only got slightly better, but I did it for you. You're all I want, Moon. I love you as much as I did yesterday, and back when we first met."

I take in a deep breath for the next part.

"Moon, I've done some horrible things. Things that I'm so sorry for, and I regret so much. And I don't want to tell you, because I know you'll hate me again, but I have to." Another shaky breath. "Moon, I went out with Sehun yesterday. We teleported to your dorm, and Jackson was there." She pulls her hands out of mine, staring at me with wide eyes. "No, no Kai please don't tell me you hurt Jackson," she says, tears forming in her eyes. I look down, forcing the lump in my throat down as well.

"He was scared, but Sehun started teasing him, saying that we had hurt you, and that we were planning on killing you. Jackson got angry and he punched Sehun, and then we were all fighting. I don't know what happened next, but I was on the ground and Sehun was on top of Jackson. He was punching and punching and punching him, and I didn't even realized there was blood everywhere. I kept screaming at him, and I pulled him off, he took it too far. We were just supposed to scare him into leaving or something.

"When Sehun first presented the idea, I wanted to kill him. I wanted to kill Jackson and be done with it, so I could have you all to myself. But I got to thinking. I realized I couldn't make you love me through fear and violence. So to keep Sehun happy I went with him, but I just wanted to beat him a little. Sehun took it too far. I made him go home, then I took Jackson to the hospital. Sehun doesn't know that.

"Jackson's still in the hospital, in stable condition now. With the help of Lay we got him there from critical, and I've been keeping tabs on him to make sure Sehun doesn't bother him. I'm sorry Moon, I'm so sorry," I finish, looking down. When she doesn't respond I look up, just to get punched square in my jaw. I feel the pain blossoming immediately, knowing there's going to be bruising there later.

"How fucking DARE YOU?!" She screams, tears falling from her eyes endlessly. I just want to hold her in my arms again, but I know she won't let me. "Moon-" "No! No, you will not speak, you don't deserve it! How could you deliberately hurt someone who you know is so important to me? You claim you love me, but why would you do something that would hurt me so bad?!" She cries, and I get up to pull her in my arms but she slaps me across the face hard.

"Don't fucking touch me," she growls, turning and leaving my room, slamming the door shut violently in her wake.
