The Man Who Could Not Stop Time (Monsta X Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirty Nine: Lost

'Hopefully today is the day.'

I sat up in bed, staring at my feet. After yelling at me the day before, I was sure that Hyungwon was more than ready to send me back in time. And I was more than ready to return to my life.

I was caught in a crossroads between Hyungwon, Shownu and Wonho. Wonho was still engaged, but I had feelings for him no matter how much I tried to ignore them. And Shownu was like the perfect guy for me. Hyungwon, though? He wasn't anywhere near my type. He was mean and he always yelled at me, but somehow he still made my heart flutter.

When he yelled at me yesterday, it really had an effect on me.

I opened the door and walked out to see that Hyungwon was up and wake early for the first time in a while. He was sitting on the couch and watching television again.

I took a deep breath before speaking up, "So..." He turned around and gave me an blank look, "Isn't it time for me to go back in time now?"

Hyungwon sighed, "Well, I have some bad news for you."

"What? You're not going to do it?" I asked, arms crossed. Was he really going to make me find some other way to return to my life? I would have skipped many classes by now and my grades would have been tanked.

"No, I lost it.".

"You did what?" I asked, shocked. There was no way he could be talking about the timepiece...

"I lost the timepiece." He answered nonchalantly.

I froze. Without the timepiece, what was I going to do? Let alone, what would happen if it got into the wrong hands?

"W-we need to search for it right now!" I said, the only one truly worried out of the two of us.

"I know." He sighed, "But I'm tired."

"Tired!?" I yelled, coming around the couch to stand in front of him, "Who cares if you're tired! We need to find it right away! Where did you see it last?"

Hyungwon tried to look around me to continue watching the TV, I moved to block his view again.

"Where did you see it last?" I repeated more aggressively.

Hyungwon eventually gave up on watching the show and crossed his arms, "I don't know. I carry it around everywhere we go, so there's really no saying where I might have dropped it."

I gasped.

"Are you serious?! How could you be so reckless with something so important!" I yelled.

Hyungwon shrugged.

"Why aren't you freaking out?!"

"I don't know," He sighed, "Maybe because I know we'll find it eventually. It's not a big deal."

I groaned, pacing back and forth. The only places we had been the day before were the cafe and the house.

"Okay, you stay here and search the house, I'm going to the cafe to ask if they found a watch." I told Hyungwon, rushing to go to my room. I got dressed in a simple outfit, something I could run it because this was a serious matter at hand. I put on a romper that zipped up the front. I bought it for the day I would eventually start exercising, I guess today was that day. I had no time to put on makeup, so I applied on sunscreen and grabbed my purse.
