Monsta X OT7 ~ Kitty Cat {4}
Pairing: Hybrid!reader X OT7
Warnings: mention of violence and abuse.
It had been a couple of weeks since you were first welcomed into the place you were currently calling your home. Most of the men had warmed up to you completely and you were more than enjoying the warmth and comfort they offered you, but it was sometimes very hard for you since two out of the seven didn’t like you at all. You had asked Changkyun multiple times why they didn’t like you, but even he didn’t know the answer to that question.
‘Normally those two are the nicest once you get to know them and they get to know you. I don’t know or understand why they dislike you.’ He told you and you were at loss. You didn’t know how to make them like you and you only seemed to make it worse in the first three weeks, so after that you gave up and kept your distance.
After you got out of the shower, towel wrapped around your head and one around your torso, you walked into Changkyun and your shared room only to find Jooheon rummaging through Changkyun his drawer. A squeak left your mouth and you quickly turned back towards the bathroom, stubbing your toe against the door frame as you went. A loud curse and hiss left your mouth and you almost dropped your towel.
‘Hey! What’s with the loud...’ Jooheon’s voice faded out as he spotted your frame. Or let’s say your pretty bare back. You clutched the towel tight in your fists, frozen in your spot.
‘You should get dressed before you come out of the bathroom,’ the cold voice of Jooheon echoed through the room and it left you with an even colder feeling.
As he left the room he slammed the door to a close, making your sensitive ears hurt. You let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in, letting your shoulders relax for a bit more and quickly putting on some undergarments and sweat pants, pulling one of Changkyun’s sweaters over your head. You quickly sniffed the sweater and to your approval, it was one that he had worn, smelling like him, making you feel comfortable.
As you made your way towards the kitchen, you were careful not to bump into Jooheon again, the two of you had made enough contact for the entire week. You put some water in the water cooker and picked your favorite tea. You loved tea in the evening. You grabbed a mug out of the cabinet, not paying attention to which one, and you put your hot tea in it. When you turned around, you were met with the chest of someone, making you spill the hot tea all over your hands. A loud sound was heard as the mug fell on the floor, spilling it’s contents all over you and the person in front of you, mug breaking in pieces.
A soft whining sound left your mouth at the stinging burn marks on your hands and feet.
‘Can you not watch out what you’re doing?!’ the voice of the person in front of you was harsh, loud and the one you were the most afraid of hearing right now.
You slowly lifted your eyes, only to be met with the blazing eyes of Wonho.
‘I am so sorry!’ You grabbed a towel from the kitchen counter and dropped on your knees, not minding the broken pieces of clay cutting your skin. You started to dry his slippers, sweat pants and the floor, scraping the pieces of mug on a pile.
You were so scared. You had broken his favorite mug, while trying to hide it you picked the pile up and tried to throw it in the thrash bin as quick as possible. But to no avail. Wonho had spotted the brown and pink colored mug and an angry feeling came over him.
Normally he wasn’t one to get angry, but you sparked something in him.
He roughly grabbed your upper arm, making you turn to face him, eyes cast down. He saw you swallow thickly, and a soft voice in the back of his head told him that he shouldn’t take it too far. But before he could think rationally, his free hand came down on your cheek with a loud echo.
A shocked Jooheon stood in the doorway of the kitchen, looking at how your ears came paralel with your head and your tail tucked in between your legs. Your eyes screwed shut, all colour drained out of your face except for a bright hand print on your left cheek.
With a shock it dawned on him what he’d done. He quickly let go of your arm, taking a few steps back, the broken pieces of clay cracking under his slippers. The vein in his forehead ticked and his jaw was set. Angry with himself for losing his temper.
The ruckus the two had made, didn’t only gain the attention of Jooheon, but Changkyun and Shownu had also heard it and came to see what was going on. The moment Changkyun saw your shaking form, he rushed to your aid, only scaring you further.
Soft cries came out of your mouth, muffled by your hand that was pressed against your lips so you wouldn’t upset anyone any further.
As you saw Changkyun rush towards you, it set off a chain reaction in your head. RUN. The one thing you had always done when you were scared or in trouble. You pushed Jooheon out of the doorway and sped out of the apartment. Leaving the warmth of the house behind, trading it for the cold winter air.
‘What have you done?’ Jooheon asked Wonho the moment you fled.
‘Are you stupid? We need to find her now! And you, clean up this bloody mess.’ Shownu said. His voice stern and strained.
Only then Wonho noticed the red footprints left on the kitchen floor, a trail leading towards the front door.
He ran a frustrated hand through his hair. Regretting what he’d done immediately. Beating himself up while cleaning the mess.
The cold ground sadly did noting to ease the pain in your feet, if it did something, it was worsen the pain. You wrapped Changkyun’s sweater closer around you, trying to shield away from the freezing cold. Why had it to happen in the freezing winter, why couldn’t it be spring or summer? Your hand was pressed against your aching cheek. The only upside about your cheek right now was that it was the only part on your body that was still warm.
What have I done to make them despise me so much?
Yes, but he didn’t like me before that...
Your inner voices were in a turmoil. Telling you to go back and tell them that you were very sorry. Yelling at you to never go back and make a life or your own...
After a while your feet hurt so much, that you sat down in a playhouse on the playground, using the small and thin walls as a protection against the sneering wind.
‘I don’t know where she can be... It’s freezing out,’ Hyungwon said, biting his lip, driving through the city together with Jooheon. The latter was shaking his head, thinking about how he should have been nicer to Y/N. ‘This is just as much my fault as it is Wonho’s. Me and him weren’t really nice to her, while we promised her a good home...’
‘Yes, you should have tried to act at least civil to her. I could never understand why you were like that towards her, but that doesn’t mater right now. When we find her you and Wonho have plenty of time to make up with her. That is if she is willing to stay with us...’
‘I will try really hard, Hyung.’
At the same time, Changkyun and Shownu ran through the abandoned alleys and streets, looking for a sign of you.
‘Is there a particular place that she could’ve gone? One that she likes?’ Shownu asked Changkyun.
Wait, maybe there is!’ Changkyun said, hope lacing his voice.
There was a playground in the park that you and him visited often. You liked it a lot since it reminded you of your childhood.
Increasing speed, Changkyun led the way to the playground. As the two men arrived there, no one was there.
‘I was so sure... I really don’t know. She must be so cold...’
Shownu wrapped his winter jacked closer around himself, shielding away from the cold northern winter winds.
Just as he was about to turn around, a black figure caught Shownu’s attention.
He rushed towards the playhouse, seeing your frame lie on the cold floor, passed out. He didn’t waste a minute and picked you up quickly, opening his jacket and wrapping you in it, providing you body heat and the warmt of the jacket.
Your eyes and nose were red and puffy from crying and the place where Wonho had slapped you had an ugly red swollen mark on it. A sad feeling overcame Shownu as he rushed towards Changkyun. The two of them sped home, Changkyun calling the others.
Once home, they cleaned your wounds and after wrapped you up in blankets, together with Shownu. The latter to provide you comfort for when you woke and more heat to warm up your shivering body.
After an hour or so, you woke up, eye lashes sticking together from the dried tears.
‘S... Shownu?’ Your voice creaked from crying and your dry and sore throat.
‘Hey kitten. Stay still. You are fine,’ his voice was calming and he rubbed circles on your back. Your face was pressed against his neck and you were seated in his lap sideways. Your body felt really warm, but not too hot and you were feeling so comfortable and cozy, you wish the time could freeze right now.
After a while of feeling like you were living in a cozy cloud, Jooheon and Wonho came into the living room, making you struggle against Shownu’s hold and the dozen of blankets wrapped around the two of you. A feeling of fear struck through you and you started to whimper.
Seeing what he had caused, a feeling of guilt and pain came over Wonho. He had never really trusted your story about being abused in your last home, but seeing the aftermath of this small thing he couldn’t not believe you. Slowly he got on his knees in front of you, bowing in the most formal way to say sorry.
‘I am so sorry Y/N. I promise that it wil never happen again and that I will treat you like the others from now on...’
At Wonho’s gesture, you stiffened. Never had someone apologized to you in this way and you were at loss as to what you had to do. It would be easy to say you’d forgive him right now, but you weren’t sure that you could. So instead of saying something, you stayed silent, staring at the broad back of the kneeling man.
‘I am sorry too,’ Jooheon said in a soft voice, bowing a bit forward.
‘I want to go to bed...’ You said, ignoring the two men, not knowing what to say or do.
‘Ok kitten. Let’s get you to bed,’ Shownu said and unwrapped you.
