I'm so curious
About your world

-gravity

I stood in front of the mirror with a towel wrapped around my frail body, my wet hair sticking to my forehead. Then I raked my reflection up and down, then again. Was I really that short? Like a minion?

I shook my head to the sides, pursed my lips and looked back to my dark brown eyes with pure determination.

Two fingers up, making a gun in the air I pointed it to the mirror and made a sound smacking my lips together. A smirk played on the corner of my mouth.

Forget about that nagging mom, you're handsome as shit, I assured myself.

There was a closet in the room they had given me. And I had decorated it with my clothes already. The boys lived in the second floor, I lived in a ground one.

After getting dressed I came out and started for the kitchen. My stomach rambled, I was hungry but only realized that now.

Opening the kitchen door I was welcomed by darkness, my old friend.

There was a faint light coming from the windows, I walked as cautiously as I could so there wouldn't be any sound. The whole place was pin dropped silent, all the servants and the boys deep in slumber at this hour of the night.

It indeed took me a whole day to clean the library, even that wouldn't have been possible without the help from Shownu. Making my head turn to all the directions I looked for the cabinet that contained instant noodles. Before that I put a pot after turning on one of the stoves.

That was the moment, when I saw a person staring at me, eyes bright like a cat in the darkness. Only a few feet distance between me and that creature.

My heart stopped for a second, a high pitched scream almost making it's way out but then the person coughed and I recognized the voice. He must've been startled as well.

Rashly Kihyun opened the fridge he was standing by and put inside whatever that he was holding in his hands. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked, bewildered, as he took a step closer to me.

The light from the window made my guess true. It was indeed the brown haired boy, eyes catlike and sharp at the dark of the night.

"Same could go to you," I sighed pouring water in the pot that I had placed on the stove.

He cleared his throat looking away, embarrassed as if he was caught doing an illegal act. For some reasons I felt like those were cold chicken from the fridge that he was sneakily chewing down.

"I'm here to make ramen for myself." Pouring the noodle down to let it simmer I had my eyes on it for a second, after looking up I was surprised to see him still there.

Could he be interested in some midnight ramen too?

"Don't you attend college? Or are you still in high school?" He asked instead.

I bit my lips, wondering why was he suddenly showing interest in me. "I don't have money for college. You could say I'm a dropout of high school, though I did take the final exams. The scores weren't just too great."

I could see him nod to himself. Immersed in thought he looked, but only for a second.

"Don't you want to attend college?" His question made my heart do a twist, truthfully I did. I really wanted to continue studying.

"Nope," I popped the p showing him a bright smile, though it's debatable if he could actually see me smile in the dark.

"Isn't there anything you're good at? Besides your part time jobs?"

Again I wondered why he was so curious. Perhaps, it could be a rich lad's newfound hobby?

"I miss art actually. At my high school I was the best student in art, even though I lacked in all the other subjects," A small smile made its way on my face so I looked down as an attempt to hide it.

"I was at the art club in our school too. Our art teacher was so impressed with my portraits that he wanted to send me to a national competition, even art students wouldn't dare to attend it." I rambled on. "But my aunt wouldn't let-"

He was gone, to my disappointment. When I finally looked up Kihyun wasn't there anymore. Which made me a fool talking to myself in the dark.

Rood.

But the loud knocking sounds on my door the next morning were more rood.

How much I wished it would just stop, even after putting a pillow over my head didn't help filtering out that obnoxiously loud sound. I checked my phone, seven thirty- why the hell would anyone want me to wake up this early.

Groaning I finally left the bed. Stumbling my way towards the door and swinging it open, what washed over me was even brighter than the light of the sun.

Though it was only the dirty blonde boy Hyungwon, and platinum blonde Minhyuk.

I glanced back and forth from the boys in utter shock, both grinning at me like a maniac. "You're going to college with us from today," Minhyuk came and snaked one of his arms around mine. Hyungwon did the same with my other.

"Wait, what?" I was too late to react since by that time I already found my feet a few centimeters off the ground. They ran with me until we reached outside where a black van was parked, the ones I'd seen on TV's, the ones kidnappers would use.

And they shoved a bewildered me inside the van. I found myself in the middle of the other boys.

"We are already late," Hyungwon shouted. "Driver-sshi, you can start!" The car roared before it dashed ahead in full speed.

"What's happening, I...," I looked around to their faces, my throat suddenly parched. Who would've expected a sudden abduction early at the morning?

"Here's your papers," Jooheon leaned forward and handed me an envelope. "You'll need these today. There's still a lot of paperwork to go."

"What the hell is happening cause I still don't get-" opening the envelope and unfolding one of those papers almost had my eyeballs poured out of my sockets.

'Choi Minjae, student of arts at Starship private university.' A goofy passport sized photo of me was attached to it too and I wondered for a short second when they took that photo.

"S-student of arts? S-starship university?" I looked at them helplessly for answers and I found Wonho smiling at me.

"Yeah, you'll be a student there. Don't worry we'll take care of your tution fees," He said. Finally, someone with answers. But I felt my throat going even drier as if I was in the middle of a dessert.

Starship was a private college for the elites.

"B-but wouldn't you need my certificates, school marksheets and such?" I spoke in disbelief, Wonho's smile grew even wider.

"Don't worry, they can be arranged later. Kihyun's father is friends with one of the council members there," He assured me but I was anywhere near assurance.

"But..., but my outfit?" I cried out loud. Attending college, which had been a dream so far would be disastrous with my burgundy colored hoodie and grey pajamas, the attire I wore to my sleep last night.

"Don't worry, art students usually dress up as hobos. You'll fit perfectly."

The owner of the voice and the person who caused all this, Kihyun only stared out the window with earphones plugged into his ears.

All I could do was throw my hands up in the air frustrated, that's when I also remembered that my one and only friend Byul studied at Starship university too.

Byul, who was furious after I let her know over the phone that I'd started to stay at the mansion I'd mentioned to her before. She was angry at that one particular lad, Kihyun who always had handful of chores for me.

The car went forward in full speed as I sighed.

Was this a daydream or a nightmare?

A/n: what's better than watching wonho's oily boobs on a daily basis. Ahem, I mean their performance at mama this year.

So yeah, my biases are Wonho and Kihyun. I never thought I'd like Wonho this much because I normally don't like buff guys but he's just, TOO DAMN ADORKABLE!

also please suggest me more monsta x books to read here cause I can't find many. Currently reading mental by xgoldenxmaknaex and it's one of the best books ever.
