Death's Caress - kyungjeong

Five

It's nearly 3 in the afternoon when YiJeong stumbles out of his room and into the kitchen where an annoyed reaper is sitting and staring at nothing.

"What crawled up your ass?" YiJeong asks the reaper when the older says nothing to him first. "Nothing," is Kyungil's short response. YiJeong snorts accidentally before pushing his body off of the counter he'd been effectively leaning on to grab some water.

"Yeah, and I didn't stumble in the house drunk out of my mind yesterday. Let's play the lying game shall we," the shorter answers in a terse manner. That sentence effectively grabs the reapers attention, and he turns to face YiJeong.

"That's exactly what's bothering me YiJeong. What if you would've gotten hurt? I wasn't with you to make sure you were safe and someone could've seriously hurt you. Again!" Kyungil answers. YiJeong rolls his eyes at the elder and sighs heavily before responding,"Why would it matter if I got hurt? It wouldn't change the fact that i'm pretty damn insignificant anyways, right?"

Now it was Kyungil's turn to roll his eyes,"I care you idiot. You know I would care if you were seriously hurt by someone and I couldn't stop it, and you're not insignificant so stop saying that."

YiJeong stares blankly at the other before whispering "I'm insignificant." He finishes with a smirk on his face before running because he knows that Kyungil will try to slaughter him for disobeying.

"Yah! I just said stop that!" YiJeong hears the reaper yell out behind him. He laughs loudly before running into the nearest room, which happens to be a small closet, and slamming the door shut and leaning against it. It's pitch black and he can't see a thing. He catches his breath before turning around and putting his ear against the door to see if he can hear the reaper.

But about five minutes later, he feels a slight breeze on his neck before he hears "boo."

He lets out a high-pitched scream before throwing his body onto the floor and nearly losing his mind. "Fucking hell Kyungil, I told you to stop doing that to me."

"And I told you that locking doors does nothing, didn't I?" the reaper laughs cheekily before cutting the light on. "Why did you choose the closet of all places? isn't this like dejavú?"

"Yeah, but you're not as scary to me now as you were 16 years ago. I really thought you were gonna eat me alive that day. I was terrified." YiJeong giggles, relaxing his body on the hard floor a bit more. He's happy to see the reaper in a better mood already.

"And you're not as ugly as you were then," Kyungil smirks and lets out a laugh before disappearing out of the closet altogether. "Asshole," YiJeong responds out loud before scoffing. He was not an ugly child.
