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

Chapter Thirty Four: Cheers

"Geon-bae!"

After winning the rap battle, we stayed in this time line to celebrate at the bar. Changkyun beat Bobby by a landslide. The prize money wasn't much, just a couple thousand USD and free street wear clothing. But the recognition he received far surpassed the material things.

"Don't forget us when you make it big, okay?" Shownu smiled at Changkyun after taking a drink.

"How could I ever forget you guys?" He chuckled. "This timepiece has brought us all together and created something unforgettable. We'll be friends until the end. That's a promise. After this, though, it's not new friends."

I chuckled while drinking my cocktail, happy I had stumbled upon this friend group.

Hyungwon seemed to be staring solemnly at his beer.

"It might not seem like it." Hyungwon spoke up, "But I really am glad I met you guys."

The table smiled, happy to hear something nice out of his normally cold mouth. He rarely seemed to share genuine compliments or feelings.

"This thing shouldn't exist..." Hyungwon said, looking at his wrist intently. "But I'm glad that I made it."

After finishing off a beer and celebrating with Changkyun; Shownu, Hyungwon and I returned to our time. It felt nice knowing that everyone had their problems solved, the only one left was me.

It was nighttime when we returned to the house, Shownu in tow.

"So, when are you going back?" Hyungwon asked Shownu, his voice a bit more hostile than usual. I wondered what he was being so bitter for.

"Later." Shownu replied, flopping down on the couch. I came to sit down right next to him, he slung his arm over my shoulder. "I just want to spend time with you guys, is that bad?"

"No, of course not." I smiled, happy to have him here. Shownu was like a giant teddy bear. He made me feel comfortable whenever he was around.

"Actually it is." Hyungwon replied, arms crossed. He came to stand in front of us and blocked the television.

"This house is huge, it feels empty without everyone here." I argued. "He can stay as long as he wants."

"I'm sure you'd like that." Hyungwon bit back, glowering at me. He turned his attention back to Shownu, "Listen, there's something I should tell you. I kissed Areum the other day."

I looked at Hyungwon with my eyes widened, and my head darted towards Shownu. He looked shocked. But I didn't want him to get the wrong idea.

"He was drunk." I said defensively. "It's not what you think."

Shownu got to his feet, seeming like he was going to fight Hyungwon. Both of them were tall, standing like towers that were ready to battle each other. I got to my feet and stood in between the two.

"So you're saying he took advantage of you?" Shownu growled. "I'm going to kick his ass."

"Hold on a second." I put my hands on his chest, pushing him away. "Don't fight please."

"I just want you to know." Hyungwon smirked at the raging man in front of him, "I like Areum too, so I'm going to pursue her."

I turned around, giving Hyungwon a surprised look.
