Monsta [book 2]

santana's point of view

A library, the forgotten place.

Times have evolved to the point where you can read a book without having to actually read a book.

Kindles, phones, tablets, etc.

I raise an eyebrow as I take a look at the librarian. She isn't any older than twenty-four, her long brown hair is pulled into a tight ponytail and her blue lip-ring is the first thing that grabs my attention.

Once she notices my presence she looks up from her computer to smile at me.

Me: Hello..

I squint at her name tag.

Me: Mae.
Mae: Hi, need any help?
Me: I haven't been in a library in quite sometime, this place is huge. Do you have a psychology section?
Mae: Yes! I can show you.

After a series of twist and turns we arrive at my destination.

Okay uber.

Mae: College student?
Me: No, I have my bachelors in it already but sometimes I like to revisit the study of it when I'm stuck in a certain situation.

She lets out a small 'ahhh'

Mae: Well I'll leave you to it!
Me: Thanks.

I can't quite put my finger on it but something is off with Lee and his group. No group disbands out of nowhere like that.

There were no scandals or absurd rumors about them, they made the label plenty of money and their fans adored them.

The only reason behind disbandment would have to be the members' wish. Being their decision I can respect that but something in my soul thinks it's deeper than that.

I spend a hour and a half reading up on psychological behaviors among other things. Once I'm finished I say goodbye to Mae and head home.

Shownu welcomes me with a small smile and I hug him.

Shownu: Where have you been?
Me: Just doing some research. Can I ask you something?

He nods his head.

Me: Um, do you remember Kim Lee?
Shownu: Ah, the man who tried his best to steal you away? Yes.

I roll my eyes before pushing his shoulder playfully.

Me: Well his group disbanded.
Shownu: I've heard.
Me: And I want to find out why.

He eyes me weirdly.

Shownu: Okay but why?
Me: It will help me, help him.
Shownu: I don't follow.
Me: I'm Lee's counselor too.

"Of course you are."

I jump as Changkyun's deep voice echoes through the kitchen. He grabs a bottle of water before retreating back upstairs, he's still in a pissy mood.

Me: What does that mean?
Shownu: Ignore him, anyways I think it's a nice thing you're helping him.
Me: You do?

He grins.

Shownu: Of course. I may not like the boy but his group seemed liked good friends, like family. And to have family stripped away from you like that is heartbreaking, he needs someone to talk to. The fact that someone is you makes him lucky.

I smile.

Shownu: But the fact I can talk to you and touch you makes me luckier.

A small scream leaves my lips as Shownu lifts me up into the air. I giggle as he kisses my cheek over and over.

I hum to myself as I stir the brownie mix and walnuts together. Changkyun has been irritable all week but brownies are his favorite, maybe this will make him smile.

The sound of a phone ringing makes me pause my actions. I look over at the counter and notice it's Changkyun's phone.

The name : LYNN, flashes across the screen. The ringing stops and text messages pops up on the screen.

LYNN: Changkyun-ah answer the phone!

LYNN: Are you going to continue to act like a child??

LYNN: I miss you and I know you miss me too 🥺.

LYNN: Please answer me  baby ❤️.

What the fuck?
