Monsta [book 2]

santana's point of view

He blinks before forcing a smile on his face.

RJ: No, you must have me mistaken.

Part of me wants to argue him down that I know for a fact he is who I think he is, but the other part won't allow it. The blush across his face tells me he doesn't want to be recognized.

Me: You're right, my apologies.

I swipe my credit card and sigh. Once the receipt prints he hands me my bags and bids me farewell.

The tattoo on his inner wrist makes me sad, it's an infinity symbol.

I open my mouth and Minhyuk feeds me another grape. We've been spread across the couch since early this morning, it's almost noon.

Minhyuk: Are you enjoying your new job?
Me: Sure.

He frowns.

Minhyuk: Sure?
Me: I like helping people, it's just, I underestimated how sensitive I am.

He chuckles before kissing my cheek. It's true though, the situation with Lee's group is bothering the absolute hell out of me.

Hyungwon and Shownu comes through the door carrying grocery bags.

Minhyuk: It better be applesauce somewhere in those bags!
Hyungwon: Shut up.

I get up to hug them and Hyungwon sticks his cold hands up my shirt, I practically scream bloody murder.

Not even two minutes later Kihyun runs into the kitchen with a bat. We all stare at him like he's crazy, because he is.

Kihyun: What happened?
Me: Hyungwon's hands were cold.

Confusion spreads across his adorable face. Shownu chuckles as he continues to put away groceries.

Shownu: Is Changkyun feeling any better?
Me: Better? Is he sick?
Kihyun: Kind of, but not really.
Me: What does that mean?

"He's acting like a dickhead."

Jooheon walks in looking exhausted. I skip over to him and plant an annoying amount of kisses on his face. He smiles before pushing me away playfully.

Jooheon: He's been being an asshole all morning.
Me: That doesn't sound like him, did anyone ask what was wrong?
Kihyun: We tried but he just shrugs and walks away.

Hm, before I can act on anything Minhyuk tsks.

Minhyuk: Be his girlfriend, not his therapist.

My eyes widen.

Me: I wasn't..-
Minhyuk: Yes you were.

Okay maybe, a little.

The walk to Changkyun's bedroom is like the green-mile. My heart beats unnecessarily fast, I knock on his door and sigh.

It swings open to reveal a shirtless Changkyun. His eyes stare into mine, a blank expression paints his face.

Changkyun: What?

Oh boy.

Me: Are you okay?
Changkyun: Yep.

He goes to close his door but I stop him.

Me: Wait.

He turns around annoyed and my words get caught in my throat.

Me: Um, where's Wonho?
Changkyun: How the fuck would I know?

He slams the door close.

I blink.

Oh hell no.

I start to bang on his door yelling his name.

Me: Im Changkyun open this door!

But he doesn't, he continues to ignore me. Wonho walks down the hallway eating a bowl of ramen and I pause my actions.

Me: Where were you?
Wonho: In the library eating.
Me: Why were you eating in the library?
Wonho: I was reading.

I nod before going back to banging on the door.

Wonho: What's wrong?
Me: Changkyun is being an asshole!

He hums.

Wonho: Must be an off day for him.
Me: Probably but he doesn't have to be so mean.

Wonho giggles.

Wonho: You have your bachelors in psychology you know how these emotions go.

Very true.

Part of me just hates not knowing what's hurting someone I love.
