The Grim Reaper | Yeonbin

[-11]

Since morning until now, it's 5.00PM, Soobin just stayed at his room, caged himself inside his blanket. He skipped all of his classes today. He just once got up to the bathroom for peeing and then laying himself back on his bed.

Soobin had been neglecting everyone who called him. First one, it was the maid that really close to him, Eunji. That ahjumma called him several times for breakfast and lunch, but he just answered her with a hum and not moving his body at all.

Second one, it was his chauffeur. He knocked for a while, but still, Soobin didn't budge. He asked if Soobin was fine, but he answered him with 'fine' and didn't say anything after. The chauffeur didn't want to force him to talk so he let the boy be, saying that he should go out for eating something before finally leaving the door.

Third one, the maid that often bought an ice cream if Soobin asked one of them to buy for him. She was younger than the first one, but she was closer after the other two. She asked if Soobin wanted her to buy an ice cream since the ice cream in the refrigerator was empty. She probably ordered by Eunji to asked him that. But again, Soobin just said 'no' and didn't say anything after. The maid awkwardly said that he should go out because everyone were worrying him. Soobin hummed for answering and the maid left.

All the time the grim reaper just stayed at the couch, looking at him caged in his blanket. His face still the same like yesterday, his eyes looked empty. It looked like he was a body without soul.

Yeonjun looked at the boy's left hand, it wrapped by the bandage still. He bet Soobin didn't take a shower, since the bandage still wrapping his hand since yesterday. He wanted to tell the boy to take off the bandage, but he didn't know why he couldn't let his voice out. He felt sad and annoyed by the look of Soobin.

The phone had been ringing several times for the boy. But he didn't answer any of it. He let the phone ringing at the nightstand, didn't even look at the caller. He didn't budge, didn't move even a bit. Sometimes Yeonjun could hear a sniffle from the boy, but not too long after it stopped.

Another call came in, but the ringtone was different from before. For the first time for that day, he budged because of an incoming call to his phone. With slightly lazy and annoyed look he grabbed his phone and immediately picked it up without seeing the caller ID.

"Yes, dad?"

"You skipped classes again today?"

Soobin sighed hardly, "they told you two?" He asked with an annoyed tone.

"Yes, and don't give me that tone, young man."

Then Soobin could hear from the other line, the voice far from the phone mic saying 'give me the phone', and for a while it sounded like the phone handed to the woman who said that before, it was his mother voice. Then her voice came out talking to him through his father's phone.

"Why you skipped your class again? I already told them about the kid who bullied you."

"So, the lecturer told you? What did they say?" Soobin still gave an annoyed tone, he was fed up and tired pretending to be good.

"You- and what if they told me and your father? What's wrong with you? Is there anyone who bullied you again?"

"And what if I said yes? What if I said that there's so much who bully me now? Are you going to tell the head department again about this?" Soobin slightly sounded like he was mad, his tone was going up.

"Who's bullying you this time?"

"Everyone, mom, everyone!" He exclaimed, "everyone hates me, gives me hating notes on my locker, looking disgusted just by seeing me, even wishing me to just die and didn't exist!"
