His Secret Princess {MONSTA X's Wonho}

Chapter 14

Bonfire

YeonA's POV

I wake up to a strange headache. I open my eyes and instantly regret that decision as I feel the burning rays of the sun throwing daggers at my eyes. 

I groan and sit up. "How'd I- what happened?" I hear people talking in the kitchen. It sounds more than one male's voice so I ask myself, "who's up this early in the morning."

I calm my hair with my fingers, and leave my room. I walk down the small hallway and stop as I hear a familiar voice in the kitchen.

"Morning sleeping beauty," I wave as I see Lucy, Minji, Mingyu, and Shownu with bright smiles. "How are you feeling?" Lucy questions me as she places a plate full of rice and kimchi in front of Shownu.

"My head is pounding," I hide the sound that dares to escape my stomach. "You didn't eat anything yesterday," Lucy informs me.

"Oh," as Mingyu gets up, he makes his way over to the door, "I'm leaving first." He doesn't say anything else after that.

"That arrogant and stubborn bastard," Lucy shakes her head. "Sexy but a bastard," chimes in Minji as she finishes her food.

"Woah! The first time I heard you cuss was last night- and speaking of last night," both Lucy and Minji stare at each other before Lucy starts to chase after Minji.

"Do you know how f*****g embarrassed you made me feel?!" I ignore them and serve myself a plate, sitting on Mingyu's seat across from Shownu.

"So I heard what happened last night. Are you hurt anywhere?" I look up to meet his sincere eyes. I shake my head and show him a reassuring smile.

"Good. Because today you are coming with us," I raise an eyebrow at him. "Pardon?" He laughs, showing his perfectly white teeth.

"The boys and I didn't properly introduce ourselves yesterday night and for we want to make it up to you. A proper get together. No drinking, no foul language, no s****l activities. Just us seven men and you three or seven females."

"Seven? I thought it was fourteen of you."

"Yeah they had other plans today so they won't be able to make it," he says and finishes his food. "So be ready at eighteen." He stands up and was about to leave when I stop him.

"What's the occasion?" I can see him smile even though he doesn't turn around. "Bon fire." He leaves and closes the door behind him, locking itself.

"I hope you're not going dressed like that," Lucy breaths as she's piling pillows on Minji's body. I look down and realize that I was still wearing my purple dress.

I walk into my room and pick out a simple outfit to start my day. I pick out a black thick-strapped workout shirt that has a maroon outline, maroon short dryfit shorts, maroon sports bra and maroon underwear.

I grab my clothes and make my way to the restroom. I strip my clothes and step into the shower. As I see the water coming down my body, my mind travels to last night's event.

The image of him is still so vividly clear. I remember having my arms around his neck and my feet around his waist, trying to keep myself up.

My eyes were staring into his mesmerizing brown-hazel ones. I find myself losing track of my soul the more I remmeber those beautiful eyes.

I can remember him leaning in, seeing as his pupils became bigger and shinier the closer he got to me.

The way his hand sent buttetflies and fireworks as his hand roams up my arm, almost as if he was trying to make my inside explode with ecstasy.

And almost as if he wanted me to get wet just for him. I would lie if I said that I didn't. And the way he possesively held my face in his strong and manly fingers.

I even remember the way his head twists at the same time his lips parted in a very sexy and s****l and sensual way, ready to connect with my own.

Even now I can feel my own v****a getting wet just by imagining what those sexy lips can do between my thighs.

"YeonA! Shower and stop thinking about the hot man!" I tell myself, shaking my head from all the dirty thoughts that come circulating in my head.

Ω¤Ω

I finally manage to get rid of the image - mostly.

I am now jogging besides Lucy around the park. "What time is it?" She asks and slows down. I slow down as well and check the time.

"It's about to be fourteen in five minutes, and still Saturday," she nods and gestures for us to sit down. We sit down on a bench that's directly under a lump of shade.

"When are you going to tell me what really happened between you two?" I choke on my water, spitting it all on the ground.

"What?" She pats my back before rephrasing her question. "When are you planning to tell me what happened last night between you and Mr. Wonho?"

Just hearing his name brings a smile to my face, to which I fail to hide. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play the innocent one here, you know what I'm talking about." I roll my eyes and sit all the way back, repositioning myself after I had the coughing fit.

"Long story short, we almost kissed-"

"Oh. My! God!?!? No f*****g way! You two almost kissed!?!?!?!? Why didn't you?!"

"Because you both dumbasses interrupted us!!" Her eyes widen as she points to herself. "Moi!?!?!?!?"

"Who was about to kiss who? Was it you about to kiss him?" I stay silent, making no facial expressions. "Or him about... To kiss... You-?!" I nod my head.

"He f*****g likes you!!!" I quickly cover her mouth. "Dude, shut up! You're so loud," I whisper to her while still keeping my hand over her mouth. I remove it to let her talk.

"Sorry but wow! So if I hadn't interrupted, you two would've kissed and you would've been what? A thing?"

I shrug my shoulders and feel heat rising up to my cheeks. I start to fan myself as I already know I'm turning beat red from all the blushing.

"Damn girl!" She teases me by nudging my shoulder. "Soon you'll be having s*x with the Korean version of Chris Evans." She then whispers to me, "I bet he even has a big dick."

Ω¤Ω

"Have you called the girls to see if they wanted to come?" Lucy asks me as we step inside the dorm. "I have, while walking over here they said they'll go."

It's now 16:20 and we have around an hour and thirty minutes (those last ten minutes don't count) to get ready.

Ω¤Ω

When I leave my room, I am surprise to see both of them wearing their bathing suits.

"Why are you wearing bathing suits?" We stare at each other's outfits. Lucy is wearing a two piece floral designs. The bottom are shorts since she didn't want to buy the underwear one.

And then I look at Minji: Mosaic designs with a blue background.

And then I look at my own outfit: A one piece orange outfit that has a cutout in the center with a knot along with a pair of black sneakers.

"YeonA, do you know where a bonfire is located? On a beach. And what do people normally do before the bonfire actually starts? They swim in the ocean." Reminds Lucy.

"Whatever, it's too late for me to change anyways-" there was a knock on the door. I look at the time to see it reads 17:50.

When Lucy opens the door, both of our eyes widen for a quick moment before we shut them. "Are you ladies ready?"

His eyes instantly find mine and they lock for what seems like five seconds. "Actually we are," Lucy pushes both Minji and I out the door.

"Mingyu! We're leaving!" Lucy shuts the door and basically pushes me so that I accidentally bump onto Wonho - who just lit up fireworks inside of me just by his smile.

We walk down the flights of stairs and exit the dorm building. Us three ladies stop in our tracks as we see a magnificent White Dodger Charger 2016 vehicle parked in the lot.

"Woah! Is this your car?" I ask him, surprise that someone owns something this expensive here. "Why are you all so surprise by it? Have you never seen one before?"

He laughs as we all shake our heads. "Seriously? Well today must be your lucky day to ride in one." He smiles and unlocks his car, walking over to the driver's seat.

As Minji and Lucy both hop into the back seat, I get into the passenger's seat.

Since the weather is pretty hot outside, we decide to lower the windows and let our faces come in contact with the running wind.

As I turn inside after we stop at a red light, I notice my eyes are slowly scanning the interior. Then they move to the hand that's not forcibly on the stirring wheel.

His left hand is limply on the stirring wheel while his other is on the outside of the door, slowly tapping his fingers to the song that's playing on the radio: EXO's Growl.

When the light turns green, his hands switch. So now I can see his sexy veins working as his hand works the stirring wheel.

His blue denim buttoned up hangs on his body perfectly. His sleeves are folded up to his elbows, revealing his sexy veins that go from the start of his fingers to the ends of his elbow.

This is one of my f*****g kinks!!

"YeonA, watch those eyes." I immediately turn my head to look out the window.

Ω¤Ω

We get off and are instantly met with a warm gush of wind. "Ah! The beach!" Both Lucy and Minji make their ay to where Shownu and the others were preparing the bonfire.

"Children, I live with children," I shake my head as I get out. Wonho does too, walks to trunk, opens it and takes out a cooler. "YeonA, can you help me with the snacks?"

"Coming!" I jog over to him and look inside the trunk to see four bags full of snacks and drinks. I pick up the bags as Wonho picks places the cooler on the floor. After he closes the trunk, he lifts up the cooler and together we start walking over to where everyone is at.

I'm glad yet surprise how we aren't in an awkward silence since of what happened last night.

"Are you okay?" He suddenly asks me. I raise an eyebrow at him, "what do you mean?" He stops walking and turns to me. "I heard what happened while you were growing up."

"So are you asking me physically, mentally, or emotionally?" He thinks for a moment before answering, "all three?" I laugh and continue walking, telling him telepathically that it's a story for later.

He places the cooler on the ground before black haired and dark-brown haired men place any drinks inside of it. "Do you guys need help?" I ask the boys.

Shownu is making chicken, the red haired man is preparing the extra food, two men are nowhere to be found, the two men with dark hair are dumping sodas inside the cooler.

"No I think we got it," the red haired man smiles at me, "Go have fun. Both of you." Before I turn away, I could almost see a smirk plastering on his lips.

I feel like all these people are having some kind of secret telepathic message or something.

We both sit on giant logs across from Lucy and Minji. I look at all the men before whispering to Wonho, "who's who?"

"You already know Shownu, the one cooking the chicken. The one with red hair is Kihyun, the one with black hair is Changkyun, the one with brown hair is Jooheon. Two of our friends, Minhyuk and Hyungwon, went to go bring the objects we need to start the fire."

As he was introducing them, he points at every one of them. Then we suddenly hear a beap from a vehicle. We all turn to see the four girls making their grand entrance.

"And Dionysus' concubines finally appear," I shake my head as I hear a wave of laughter from all men. "Concubines? Who made the girl pissed off?" Red man asks, laughing.

Literally all females pointed at one another except for Juhie, who innocently just blushes everyone away.

Hye-Jin is wearing a strapless bikini black top that has a knot in the center. A bottom with two strings at both sides to bring the front an back fabric together and a black mosaic desing kimono.

Jung-Min has a twopiece-onepiece. The top is a black neck-strap that has flowers to th edges. It holds them bottom by two strings - same designs.

EunMi is wearing a one piece bikini that is a white based themed wth flowers at the top and bottom and has a cutout floral design in the center. She pairs it up with the same design kimono.

Juhie . . I can't even describe hers. So for those who are reading this offline I'm sorry. The only thing I can descrie is that it's a one piece with a cutout in the center. The theme is white background with blue bonnets and red ... flowers. Comepletely on the "safe side"

"Y'all seriously came prepare huh?" Lucy questions the incoming females. "Nice to see you too Lucy," Hye-Jin smiles at everyone.

But when her eyes meet Shownu's, she winks at him. And this made my eyes go wide! Not only that but he f*****g BLEW A KISS HER WAY!

"Are they a thing?" I ask Wonho. He laughs and nods his head, "seems like it." I shake my head at them.

"They've known each other for one day, and they already hooked up? Tsk tsk," I shake my head more before earning a angelic laughter from the man besides me.

"Hey bitches!" Hye-Jin bounces on the log next to ours, patting the empty space next to her. "C'mere," she says in fluent English to Shownu.

He slides his feet across the sand as he makes his way over to her. Once he sits down, she puts her feet over his thighs and his hands wrap themselves around hers.

"So are you two like a thing?" I ask, pointing to their current position. They look at each other before laughing.

"Nah! I don't like the feeling of being tied down to someone, we're just," she looks at him and he continues her words. "Friends with benefits."

Obviously this woman wouldn't want to be tied down. She's the carefree type of person.

Kihyun and Jooheon spit their sodas. Changkyun quickly gives them a napkin to clean up. "Friends with benefits?" Kihyun raises both eyebrows at them.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Shownu answers Kihyun with a question, bringing Hye-Jin's body closer to his.

"Oh god, please don't," Minhyuk and Hyungwon, who Wonho mentioned earlier, finally appear and that's the first thing one of them says as he sits on the log opposite from where Shownu and Hye-Jin currently are.

"The one with dark red hair is Minhyuk, and the one with dirty blonde hair is Hyungwon." Wonho whispers to me and I nod.

Shownu stands up and starts making the fire. "While you boys talk your men stuff or whatever, the girls and I are going swimming!" Hye-Jin, EunMi, Jung-Min, and Minji all remove their kimonos, place them on the sand and run to the water.

Lucy and Juhie follow their lead but they instead decided to walk. Then all boys turn to me. "Why aren't you going with them?" The one with dark red hair, Minhyuk, asks me.

"I didn't bring extra clothes-" I was suddenly being jerked to the side by Hye-Jin and EunMi. "Then go in what you're wearing under that," demands Hye-Jin.

"What-? Wait-!" Before I know it, I was half naked. "How did they-? What-?" I blink again and now I'm being dragged to the water.

The only thing I'm wearing is a set of gray sports clothes: my simple gray sports bra and gray sports shorts.

As soon as my skin made contact with the water I jerk back. "It's cold!" How do they not realize how cold the water f*****g is?!

"Don't be such a party pooper!" Hye-Jin and EunMi lift me up and throw me to the water like if I weight a sack of potatoes or they were just two very strong women.

I instantly stand up and regretted it. I was soaking wet and with the wind it makes me a lot more colder. "I'm going to murder you both!" I leave the water and start chasing after them both.

Their only defense is the water- and that's my only weakness. I abruptly stop in my tracks as I see the crystal clear of the water.

I stare in horror as the water rises to my ankles. "s**t!" I hear Lucy say before she runs to me.

Narrator's POV

Wonho remembers what Lucy told him the day before:

"She sometimes completely forgets about it that she wishes to have a swimming pool. But if she swims in it, or any body of water, all her memories come back."

He shocks everyone by running to her. Both Lucy and Wonho get to her in time, wanting to snap her out of it. "YeonA?" They shake their body. They now catch everyone's attention.

"YeonA," Wonho steps comepletely in front of her and lifts her chin up, "Hey. It's gonna be okay-" she innocently smiles at him.

"There was a fish swimming in between my feet," both Lucy and Wonho let out a long sigh of relief. While Lucy walks away, Wonho was about to wrap his arms around her back when he stops and pats her shoulders instead.

He doesn't say anything and leaves. When he goes back and sits down, he reaches both of his hands to his chest, where his heart is beating rapidly.

"You're interested in her aren't you?" Shownu questions, getting the attention of all males. Wonho doesn't answer and instead turns to the water, more specifically at the woman who seemed to make his heart fasten its pace by a simple smile - even if it's a fake one as he know he truly was.

YeonA's POV

I was able to convince them that is was just a small fish. When in reality it wasn't.

My mind suddenly traveled to my old memories. Those I never wanted to remember. Those scars I thought I burried surfaced, hiting me like the waves just come crashing at me.

I felt my lungs filling up with water as I mentally gagged. I felt my world closing in on me. The water looked like it was hungry for me and was ready to devour me. I felt my knees weaken, my body shaken, and my mind just went blank.

For a moment, I felt myself drowning. And the only person who managed to snap me out of it was-

A knock interrupts my thoughts. "YeonA? Is everything okay?" His voice brings music to my ears. I reach for my chest as I feel the hard beating of my heart starting to fasten its pace.

"Yeah," I wipe my tear, convincing us both that I really am. With one last glance in the mirror, I let out another breath and open the door.

I force a smile on my face as I look deep into his eyes, wanting to convince him. After he smiles, I attempt to walk forward but he stops me.

"Let's take a walk."

We walk side by side along the brightly lit up trail that goes around the beach and small forest. As we were away from all the laughter, he decides to break the comfortable ice.

"It wasn't a fish that was swimming around you." I stop in my tracks as I look at the ground before looking at him.

Those hazel eyes seem to be shielding his pain that he tries too much to hide - yet he's telepathically telling me that it's okay.

"YeonA, you don't have to lie to me. I know that I may not know exactly how you feel after your experiences, but I know enough to feel at least pain from it."

I don't say anything. My silence only urges him to continue as he suggests we continue walking.

"I used to live in a very small town with only my grandpa before he passed away. Every day, I would make mistakes- some stupid mistakes that even now I regret doing. There was hardly and money or food. So what I did every day in order to survive, I stole food from people. Not only food but money as well."

"I was a selfish little kid because I even stole from families that didn't have anything - not even enough clothing to last them a week. After he passed away, I was so lonely. I didn't have friends or family relatives. It was just me and a cat - but the cat too passed away from hunger."

"I didn't know how but I landed myself in a rich family. There, the kids would abuse me for looking weak and fragile. Since I was so alone, suicidal thoughts came to me. When the mother found me slitting my wrists, she immediately put me in Rehab. There, I soon escaped."

"It must be funny right? An eleven or twelve year old boy escaping from rehab. I didn't know where to go so I decided to stay at a local library. There, I began teaching myself since I never went to school. As months passed by, the librarian started suspecting that someone was staying the night. And one night she caught me."

"Instead of throwing me out on the streets, she let me stay there for two years. When I was like fourteen or fifteen, I stumbled upon a very rich boy, the same as my age, who would come to the library every day. We soon became friends, then best friends. When he found out I was living there, I thought he would bully me like the other kids. But he didn't and instead he invited to sleep at his house."

"His parents were like my wishful parents. They treated me like if I was there own. And after he turned eighteen, he rented an apartment for the both of us. Since his father was a CEO of a couple of network companies, he decided to assign my friend a president and me a manger. Over the next eight or nine years, we managed to buy a hotel and own it as a separate stock from his father."

"And who's that friend?" I finally speak after listening to his side of story. "Shownu." So that explains why they always look so expensive.

"And the librarian? Do you see her often?" He shakes his head and leans back on a light pole. "She passed away five years ago. I wanted to thank her for everything she did for me like buying me food and clothes and a place to shower. But by the time I got there, there was already a new librarian."

I don't say anything after that. He looks pained as he suddenly remembers all his happy memories with her. His eyes suddenly get teary. "And even know I'm weak. I'm weak and fragile-"

"You're not weak, Wonho. And you're not fragile." This time, my smile doesn't look force like the ones before. He shakes his head, "I mean look at me. I'm a man who suddenly cries and it's not okay for a person like me-"

"It is okay." He suddenly looks down to meet my eyes as I continue. "It's okay."

Sometimes, that's what people need nowadays. They need someone to tell them that it's okay. Even when the world seems to be against one, still urge them to think that it's okay so that they won't feel like they're useless.

I unconsciously walk right in front of him, reach up and wipe his tears that streamed down his tanned cheeks. When I realised what I was doing, I was about to retrieve my hands and place it on my side when instead he grabs my wrist and pulls me to him, wrapping his arms around my back, hugging me tightly.

"Wonho," I say but get cut off. "Can we please just stay like this for a moment?" I don't say anything but instead reach up behind and pat his back slowly.
