Family after death: You can stay (Book 2)

Chapter 3

Changbin frowns, looking over at the empty bed on the other side of the room. He rubs his eyes a few more times to make sure he isn't still dreaming. He stands up from his bed, making his way to the kitchen confused as to why Jisung is out of bed before he even woke up. 

Minho chuckles, seeing a sleepy Changbin enter the kitchen. He watches as the boy puts his bread in the toaster. "Morning Changbin."

Changbin turns around, looking over to where Minho is seated at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in his hand. "Morning hyung."

Changbin grabs his toast, taking a seat opposite of Minho.

"Where is Sung?"

"He woke up early, something about not being able to sleep. He is in the living room reading one of his books."

Changbin nods his head, eating his breakfast quietly. Minho sips his coffee while reading the newspaper that is laying in front of him on the table.

"Can you ask Jisung to open up the store?" Changbin stands up, cleaning up his plate.

"Sure, how long till you think you're down there?"

"Max 10 minutes, he will be fine."

Minho nods as he watches Changbin leave the kitchen to get ready for the day. Minho pouts as he gets up, feeling slightly sad whenever he sees Changbin and Jisung work so hard. Wishing he could send the two boys to school and have them follow a normal teen life but here they are working in a store almost every day. He knows why but it's still sad.

"Jisung?"

The boy looks up from his book.

"Could you open the store? Changbin will be done in 10."

Jisung nods, closing the book and standing up from the couch. He puts the book away before passing Minho to go and open the store. Minho sighs, wondering why these boys do this without ever really complaining. Were they just used to always working?

Minho lets himself fall onto the bed next to his sleeping boyfriend. The questions just didn't stop forming in his head even though he knows he probably won't get answers to at least half of them.

"You alright love?" Chan mumbles, turning so that he can see Minho laying on the bed. Minho pouts turning to face Chan.

"I'm just sad about something."

"About what?"

Minho shakes his head, he and Chan already talked about it before. He knows that even though he thinks it's sad, Chan won't be changing his mind. "It's stupid."

Chan sits up slightly, rubbing his eyes. "If you're sad it's not stupid."

Minho pouts "It is, it's about the boys working and not going to school. Like I know you have your reason but seeing them this morning I just felt sad."

Chan pulls Minho into a hug while they both lay on the bed, rubbing the younger back. "I know you want them to have normal teenage lives but they aren't normal. Not in a human or supernatural way, sadly. Binnie would be fine in a school but I don't want to separate the two of them."

Minho hums, he knew Chan was going to say this. He had said it multiple times before. "Have they ever tried in life school?" Minho looks over at Chan, who frowns.

"Changbin went to an in life school before. I mean he went there for the first few weeks living here but he said he wanted to quit and be homeschooled together with Jisung. We think it was because of bullying that he didn't want to go anymore."
