SUPERB | Seo Changbin ✅️

Issue 11: Pure Dread

Y/n POV

"How was Sophie's sleepover?" My Grandmother asks sitting at the dining table and reading a short novel.

"Spent the whole time fixing her PC and installing virus software.. Are the others in bed? Any problems?"

"They are asleep."

"Good, I'm going to take a shower and rest up too. Don't stay up too long Gran." She nods and goes back to reading away just as she was before. Quietly, I make my way to my room and set my things down. I then grabbed a pair of fresh clothes and made my way to the bathroom. When I got there there were clothes on the ground from several of my siblings from their bath time earlier. Shaking my head, I grab those clothes and I placed them in the dirty clothes hamper. From there I start preparing for my shower. Placing my towel on the railing, throwing my new clothes on the counter, placing my phone beside my clothes within reach, and turning on the shower. My showers are relatively simple. Though tonight I stayed in there for about an hour in thought. I was thinking mostly about Changbin and how he snapped so quickly with me. Needless to say the way he looked at me and the way his voice boomed out scared the hell out of me. Tonight in general really reminded me that Changbin was indeed Spear. They were not separate entities but one person. At any rate, Beyond was the last of my worries.. All I could really think about was my life being engulfed by Changbin and his maniac like plots.

~Monday during Lunch~

Yeonjun, Changbin, and I sat at our regular seating. Changbin was quiet most of the time, though Yeonjun practically talked my ear off. He keep going on about a new anime series he had just started. Something about a chainsaw or a man who is the saw of chains. I don't know, but it was extremely gruesome and arguably something a high-schooler shouldn't be watching unless your mentally prepared for it. Personally I'd rather read the manga, even if the art of animation was superior in Japan.

"We should watch it together this weekend, Y/n."

"I'll be working overtime these days. So, I don't know when I'll be getting time off.."

"Really? Well.. there are computers at the library.. Maybe we can sneak a episode or two until your manager yells at you?" he says with a wide smirk.

"Nope, not even that."

His eyebrows furrow and his mouth forms into a strong pout, "We have done it before! Why not again?"

"My manager told me that if I was not serious I would be fired. I can't loose this job Yeonjun as much as I want to hang with you. I'm sorry.. If I get anytime off, I promise I'll have an anime night with you."

" I will hold you to that promise." he says nudging my shoulder with his elbow playfully before taking a bite of his lunch. Immediately I looked back to my plate and softly poked my piece of chicken with a fork to avoid any eye contact with Changbin. Yeonjun starts light conversation with him as I stare holes into my food. Slowly, I try to take quiet bites of what I had on my tray until I felt like I could not take another bite. With both hands on my tray, I get up to throw my trash away. As I stood in front of the trash, Changbin's gritty voice hits my ears.

"Can we talk?"

"What is there to talk about?" I asked sarcastically while emptying my tray and placing it with the other dirty trays. When I walk away from the trash, Changbin does the same and follows along after me.

"I snapped a bit too hard.."

I stop and look back at him, "I'm literally terrified of you. You know that. Yet you got in my face and... You.. You weren't Changbin.."

"What do I have to do make you comfortable with me again?" he asks so soft his voice almost was hard to hear.

"If only you could turn back time." I say before walking back to the table to grab my things. Changbin walks his way casually to the table, but he doesn't follow me any further. I guess he was too prideful to let Yeonjun see us fight.
