The Grim Reaper | Yeonbin

[-15]

"How could he see you?"

It was past noon, and Soobin's friends was already going home since they had schedule with their family, like family time or something.

"How could I know? I ain't supposed to be visible by a human in the first place."

There just them, Soobin and Yeonjun, at the boy's room. Yeonjun stood near the bed while Soobin sat at the edge of it. They were facing each other, but with a distance between.

"Don't overthink that, it's-"

"Don't overthink you said? Yeonjun, that's freaking me out! You said I couldn't feel your touch, but when you touched my hair I could feel it. Then Kai," Soobin breathed in with a red face, "he could see you briefly. What happened to you?" The boy's expression mixed up, but the worry was evident among all.

Yeonjun furrowed his eyebrows, "why should you be freaking out? It's me, not you. If someone can see me, it's my problem, not yours. And about the touch, maybe it's just like your friend, it just happened briefly," he stated that with a firm tone.

He didn't know that his words made the boy's heart clenched. Soobin looked down at his lap, felt gloomy around him.

"Yeah, you're right. It's not my problem at all, why should I be freaking out?" Soobin mumbled, more like talking to himself, "it's YOUR problem, not mine. I shouldn't care about your fucking mission and punishment, I should care about my self, about my life," he continued mumbling, but with higher volume this time so the other could hear him.

Yeonjun felt heavy on his heart, he must be saying a wrong words.

Soobin lifted up his head, looking back again at Yeonjun, with a fierce eyes, "I shouldn't care about you, right? What would I gain from that?" He scoffed and gritted his teeth.

"Wait, why are you mad at me?" Yeonjun knew exactly that he said something that made Soobin got mad, but why should he be mad for? What did he say wrong?

"I'm mad at my self," Soobin looked away, smiling mockingly more to himself.

"I'm mad at my self because...why do I care about you? What exactly I gain from caring about you? I got nothing, and as clear as it is, you are waiting for me to die, yet here I am caring about you who wanted the worst for my life-"

"Who said that I want the worst for your life?"

Soobin paused, still looking mad but with confusion, he gazed the grim reaper, looking into his eyes deeply searching for what the meaning of his words.

"Do I ever say that I want the worst for your life?" Yeonjun looked at him with serious face, "tell me, do I ever say that to you?" He asked again, taking one step closer to the boy.

Soobin gulped down, slightly afraid but still maintain his mad on his face, but his eyes couldn't lie, so he just sat there felt so little in front of Yeonjun who looked down at him.

"If I really wanted you to have the worst of your life, I could just ruin you, belittle you like your parents and your bullies did to you, didn't say to enjoy your life while it lasts. Do you think I never once care about you? I think I never once the opposite. I would just let you suicide for me if I don't care, but I let you get a chance for better life."
