SUPERB | Seo Changbin ✅️

Issue #2: Spear

Changbin's POV

I've felt myself drifting. Drifting around in the ocean of everyday life. Even if I wanted to murder Beyond as quick as possible.. The need to take my time killing him was necessary. It would be satisfying all the while draining to the government and public moral. So drifting wasn't too bad, but It was about time I make a move. A bold move. Not too quick, but soon. I've gathered what I can over the years for my final plan. It seems it will be soon. Especially since I have been showing up to a library.. A pretty girl I had interest in was coincidentally Beyond's little crush. Funny how small Earth is..

"I'll see you around."

I was smiling cheekily after talking with her. And I was even more pleased with my self seeing the great Beyond glare blades of jealousy into my skin. I was honestly crushing after watching how excited she got reading my Comics I wrote under an alias. Needless to say, I felt joy when she stared with sparkles in her eyes. Especially when she gazed on my artwork of the death of Addam.

I always wondered if she was in love with Beyond. If she knew the life he lived and kept hidden from others. I hated the fact that Y/n spent time with him even if they were friends for however long. I'm so glad I'm stepping in at this time as I knew their relationship was falling apart at the seams. A great opportunity. For his double life as a superhero stopped him from fully understanding her heart.
'What should I do next?' I asked myself for I was sure to make Beyond's life hell within the next few days and months.

•Two weeks later with on and off meets..•

The pretty librarian sat reading my work once more. I gaze at her to thinking deeply about all the interactions we had the past two weeks. Y/n took the air out of my lungs when she was around. Even when I could feeling her looking my way, warmth filled my chest and made my heart almost lose control of itself. There was just something about her that I longed to understand. Was it sexual? Was it platonic? I couldn't tell because she was everything in one. Now, I did understand why Beyond enjoyed being around her.. For the air around her was more then air.

As she read casually, I too read a book of choice as I sat there waiting for her to notice me. Of course, I wasn't that much of a fucking creep to just stare at her for hours.. I really did enjoy coming here on its own on my free time. Away from school and.. other activities.. just to escape. Having her sit from across the room was just a bonus..

After one last quick glance at Y/n, I stared back down zoning out into the pages of some random novel I picked up a few days ago. When I start digging deep into it's rabbit hole, a person sits across from me  and softly speaks.

"Such a nerd."

"And you aren't Miss Y/n?" I say setting my book down.
"Touché."
"What brings you over to this corner?" I say intertwining my hands together in front of me with a slight lean forward.
"Just thought I'd come by to say hi..."
"You've read the fictional comics on Beyond right?"
"Who hasn't read about he who can change and manipulate the weather with the flick of the wrist?!"
"With all the clues from that comic..  Who do you think Beyond is?"
"Definitely a college student."
"Think Spider-man.. so.. High school."
"Your telling me you know who Beyond is?"
"Maybe?.. maybe not.. Maybe, I even know who Spear is."
She gasps loudly. Her co-worker responds back by shushing her with an index finger to the mouth.

"There's no way you'd know both.. Especially Spear, he has no one else working for him.."
I lower my voice more, "You don't know that. Besides, It's just a guess I have."
"Are you going to share?" She crosses her arms.
"For a price.."
"I'm not liking this.."
"All you have to do is spend some time recommending comics to me.."
"That's it??"
"Yep.."
She smiles wildly before agreeing and forcing me back to a closed off section in which all the comic and manga books dwelled. It was a cozy section less formal then the setting areas by the other books. There was a big two seater couch, some pillows, and a baby blue rug under our feet. The area also had a lamp in which was always on as the lights in this section were dimmer then the rest of the building.
Excitingly, she begins searching through the colorful shelves talking about what she thought I'd be interested in. Silently, as she dug through the comics, I sat on the couch and rested my head on the couches arm. When she finds one she stands up and stares at me blankly.
"You weren't listening to me were you."
"I was, well kinda." I grabbed the issue out of her hands and look at the title.
"Like I was saying.. it's Deadpool."
"I've seen the movies.."
"But I swear the comics are just as good." I nodded and skim through a bit. With that she tells me she was to go back, but I grab her wrist and pull her back in front of me.
