4th Chapter; Dramarama – Monsta X
Regular POV:
I woke up with a weird feeling in my stomach and a headache.
With a groan I sat myself upright on my bed and rubbed my temples.
"What the fuck, I didn't even drink that much." I mumbled and slowly stood up.
Determining that the feeling in my stomach was hunger, I wobbled into the kitchen and made myself a coffee first. Then I made a sandwich.
Closing my eyes I leaned against the counter and almost fell asleep, but my phone pulled me out of the trance.
"Hello?" I murmured and stared into my coffee cup.
"Hey y/n, it's me, Changkyun. Are you free today?" the sweet voice of my friend woke me up a bit.
"I think so, yes. Why?" I took a sip of my coffee and looked through the folder on my counter.
"I, uh, wanted to ask you, if you want to hang out with me and the others?" he stuttered and I took another sip.
"Sure, why not. Where?" I asked while still looking through the folder.
"Uh, we thought, maybe, the, uh, the karaoke bar? You know the one, the one with the, uh-" he kept stuttering, so I cut him off.
"The Dramarama? Yeah, sure."
"Yes! Thank you! Meet you there in an hour?" he asked again, this time sounding more confident.
"Okay. See ya." I said and hung up.
Then I looked at the last page of the folder.
"This isn't mine." I muttered and closed it.

An hour later I was standing in front of the karaoke bar and waited for the guys to arrive.
I shifted my weight form one foot to the other and looked around as I saw a familiar face.
"Jongup!" I shouted at the man walking on the other side of the street, but he didn't turn around.
I couldn't have been wrong, I had seen his face, so I was certain that it was Jongup. But before I could think about it anymore, someone put their hand on my shoulder and turned me around.
"Jooheon! Long-time no see!" I exclaimed excitedly and hugged him.
"Yeah, sorry for not texting or anything, we've been busy." He said with a grin.
"Well, you're here now, so let's go in, I'm fucking freezing out here." I stated and we entered the bar together.
Only 5 minutes later the other guys arrived as well and we entered one of the karaoke rooms.
"Okay, who wants to start? I vote y/n and Hyunwoo!" Kihyun exclaimed and the others cheered.
"What song do you want?" the tall man with the golden skin asked me with a smile on his squishy face.
"Uh, I don't know. Maybe..." I murmured and scrolled through the songs, blushing because of the attractive guy.
I had always had a bit of a crush on Hyunwoo, nothing serious though.
"Ha! Here we go!" I shouted and chose a song.
I glanced at Hyunwoo and he smiled at me.
I had chosen Fantastic Baby by Bigbang, since it was one of my favourite songs to sing.
We kept switching up partners and songs for hours and I had the most fun I had had for a while.
When it was Minhyuk's and Hyunwoo's turn again I left the room for a bit to get some more snacks and pay for another hour.
"No, I don't think so, I-" I heard a familiar voice say and froze in my tracks.
"Himchan~sshi? I wasn't expecting you in a place like this." I rose an eyebrow and gave the woman behind the counter the money and she gave me snacks in return.
"I...I did not expect you here, either, y/n~sshi. But it is nice to meet you" he bowed and I did too.
"Hey, y/n, what's taking you so long?" Hoseok peeked through the door and froze as he saw Himchan.
Himchan seemed to tense up as well and didn't stop looking at my red haired friend.
"Do you know each other?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows, the snacks still in my hands.
"Just an unpleasant encounter once." Himchan murmured and I nodded slowly.
"Anyways, it was nice to meet you, Himchan~sshi, I'll go back to my friends now. It still stands that there won't be work on Monday, right?" I half joked. Himchan nodded and looked back at me with a cold smile on his face.
"Yes, I keep my promises." I swallowed and turned around to walk back to Hoseok, but Himchan held me back.
"Did you hear anything from Junhong? I'm worried about him, he doesn't pick up any calls." He was dangerously close to my face now and I could smell his scent.
"I, uh, I tried checking on him but he told me to leave him alone. He was in a very bad condition but he told me to leave so I did. He said he would tell me if he felt better." I explained, not being able to look away from his dark brown eyes.
"Thank you. If he calls you, tell him that he should call me back. Okay?" Himchan's voice seemed like a whisper now and I could only nod as he smiled at me sweetly.
Then he took two steps back and went into the other karaoke booth with his 2 friends that had been waiting patiently at the door.
Only then I noticed that I had held my breath, so I breathed deeply and returned to Hoseok, who was still standing in the doorframe.
"What the fuck was that all about?" he asked me and took the snacks from my hands.
"I don't know." I mumbled and sat down to wait for Jooheon and Changkyun to finish their round.
I got my phone out of my pocket and texted Junhong.
You okay? Himchan~sshi just asked me to tell you to call him back. It seemed important.
Not expecting an answer anytime soon, I put it back in my pocket and started my round with Hyungwon.
After we finished, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket so I looked at my newest chats.
Junhongie: Sorry, I just called him. Everything's fine. You wanna meet up and talk?
With a sigh I typed my answer.
Sorry baby, I'm out with some friends. I'll be home in an hour or two. Can we talk then?
Impatiently tapping my fingers against the back of my phone I waited for an answer, staring at the typing... at the top of the screen.
"Who are you texting?" Hyunwoo had sat down next to me and put his arm around me on the headrest.
"My co-worker, he has been sick for the last few days, but he seems to be better now." I answered, noticing the heat creeping up on my face.
I looked back at the screen and read Junhong's answer.
Friends? Who are they? Where are you? Should I come pick you up? Where were you yesterday? Have you eaten yet? Please come home safely so we can talk.
I raised an eyebrow in confusion and read the message two more times to make sure it was true what I was reading.
I'll be home soon. See you then.
Confident with my answer I put my phone on silent mode and got up for another round with Hyunwoo.
