You're a Monster | Chenji

They all stayed in silence, waiting for him to continue.

'We've been told he died of a heart attack, however, we have reasons to suspect that isn't the cause of his death.'

Fuck.

That what they all thought.

Kun's father was the one economically supporting them, he was the reason they could easily pay for people's silence. He was the CEO of an important perfume company which had a lot of contacts in the government, losing the company meant becoming practically insignificant.

'We weren't expecting him to die that soon, since he wasn't that old and he was a healthy man. However, our options now are either leave it to the company's vice-chairman or having Kun inherit the company.'

Chittaphon stopped talking and Kun stood up.

'The problem with the vice-chairman is that she's the main suspect of Mr. Qian's murder. She found out that we aren't working as a perfume making lab, despite the official documents stating so. She knew Qian was aware of that and still subsidized our actions. We have evidence of her having contact with vampires regularly. She has already started playing her cards to be in charge of the company.'

'We'll have to get rid of her.' Yukhei spoke. He said those words calmly, making him appear intimidating.

'But she's a human, isn't she?' Renjun argued. As far as he knew, they only went for vampires.

'And she killed Kun's father.' Yukhei spat back making Renjun flinch slightly.

'Not all our enemies are vampires, Renjun.' Kun intervened.

'I miss him...' Said Jaemin as he drew circles with his finger on Jeno's chest.

'Nana... please, don't worry. I'm sure he's fine.'

'I want him back...  What if..?'

A tear rolled down Jaemin's cheek as Jeno shushed him and wiped it with his thumb.

That night the vice-chairman was sent a message that there was a problem with one of the factories. It was one of the oldest ones, which meant the machines were old and would probably need to be changed. She went there to see what the problem was to decide whether she should send someone to repair it or it should be changed instead.

Once she got there, she saw one of the workers waiting for her.

'We were about to close when we realised there was a problem with the bottling machine... You see, this is supposed to-'

Thud.

The vice-chairman's body fell unconscious right after a glass bottle crashed against the nape of her neck.

Yukhei dragged the woman's body to another room. Chenle helped him breaking a few pipes with a hammer and they closed the door, making sure to turn off the lights.

As soon as they got out of there, Yangyang switched on a key from teh control room and the three guys hopped on a car that would drive them back home.

The vice-chairman woke up after a while. Her head hurt, and she could feel a few drops of blood rolling down her neck. She was in the dark, in a room that smelled weird. She tried to hold her breath, as she couldn't identify where the smell came from. She followed the wall until she found a switch and turned it on.

Boom.

'Today at about 5 am, a perfume factory owned by the Qian company caught fire due to an explosion caused by a gas leak. There were two victims, being the chairman and the vice-chairman of the Qian company. The workers of the factory confirmed...'
