Grim Reaper | Meanie

013 | fine

Ang huling naalala ni Mingyu ay ang hiling niya na sana hindi sila mamatay, nagulat na lang siya nang biglang nagbabago na ang kanilang kinaroroonan.

Nag teleport sila. Nandito na sila ngayon sa apartment nila. Pangalawang beses na mag teleport ni Mingyu pero nakakasuka at weird parin para sa kanyang pakiramdam. Nalimutan lahat ni Mingyu nang sakit na nararamdaman nang makita niya si Wonwoo.

Nasa sahig si Wonwoo. Sira-sira ang kanyang damit at madami siyang sugat at pasa.

"Shet, Wonwoo!" sabi ni Mingyu at lumuhod sa tabi ng sugatang Reaper. Kinuha ni Mingyu ang ulo ni Wonwoo at pinatong ito sa kanyang mga hita. Wonwoo was coughing up blood, and Mingyu doesn't know what he should do.

"I used... all of my strength.... to teleport us out of there," Wonwoo weakly said, in between coughs.

"Shh tigil muna Won," sabi ni Mingyu, hushing Wonwoo by putting his finger on the Reaper's lips. "Malala kalagayan mo, allow me to at least take care of you."

Tinaboy ni Wonwoo ang kamay ni Mingyu, "I'll heal," sabi ni Wonwoo at sinubukan pang tumayo ngunit naunahan siya ng sakit na nararamdaman niya. Napasinghap siya sakit, at walang nagawa kundi mapahiga ulit.

"Talaga ba?" sabi ni Mingyu, "Mahina ka, kaya hayaan mo na kong tulungan ka."

Tumingin si Wonwoo kay Mingyu, at nakita niya na kanina pa pala ito nakatitig sa kanya. Eye to eye contact ba kumbaga. A human and a Reaper, staring at each other from eye to eye. What a sight. Normally something bad would happen to a human if they met the eyes of a Reaper, but it seems that nothing is gonna happen to Mingyu. Kim Mingyu had once again defeated all the odds. With their small time together, Wonwoo had realized that Mingyu is different. He's special.

"Trust me Wonwoo," sabi ni Mingyu.

Wonwoo decided to trust him.

"Bubuhatin kita okay?" pagpapaalam ni Mingyu. Wonwoo only nodded.

"Do whatever you want," the Reaper grumbled.

Tumawa lamang si Mingyu at binuhat si Wonwoo bridal style. Nagulat naman si Mingyu at napakapit sa leeg ng nakakabata. There goes his heart again, beating too fast for his liking. His face is uncomfortably heating up as well.

"Relax, I got you," Mingyu reassured. He placed Wonwoo on top of his bed as gently as possible.

"We'll have to take off your clothes okay? Kaylangan malinisan yang mga sugat mo," Mingyu said, "Can you take off your clothes? Gusto mo ba ako na maghubad sayo?"

Wonwoo blushed even more, "Ako na gago!" at nasipa niya pa si Mingyu na may pagkalakas kaya gumulong pababa ang tore. "A-, okay ka lang?"

"Medyo masakit Won," sabi ni Mingyu bago tumayo, "Pero ayos lang ahaha!"

"Kuha lang ako tubig ha? I'll be back," pumasok si Mingyu sa Cr nila. Habang nasa loob pa ng Cr si Mingyu, hinubad na ni Wonwoo ang sira-sirang polo niya at nagtago naman sa ilalim ng kumot.

Pero why was he hiding? Ano ba ang dapat niyang ikatago? It's just his body, it's nothing special, but someway, somehow, Wonwoo felt shy. He felt vulnerable and scared of Mingyu's opinion. Will he still like him if he saw his body? But most importantly, why would Mingyu's opinion matter so much?

Mingyu laughed when he saw Wonwoo's state. "Won, I need to see your sugat para magamot ko sila," he laughed. He tugged on Wonwoo's sheets, trying to get rid of it, but not using so much force. He tugged on it for two or three times until Wonwoo finally lets him to get rid of the cover. Wonwoo once again felt shy and exposed under Mingyu's stare, but Mingyu only smiled.

"You're beautiful Wonwoo."

Beautiful. In all his years of living as a Reaper, Wonwoo had never been called beautiful. He was described as many things. Dark, mysterious, strict, but never once was he described as beautiful, until now.

"Liar," Wonwoo countered, but he knew Mingyu was being honest. Reapers has the ability to tell if a human is lying after all.

"Hindi po kaya," sabi ni Mingyu, "Now be still, I'll clean your wounds."

Mingyu damped the wet cloth on Wonwoo's body. It stung, causing Wonwoo to hiss in pain.

"Shit," Mingyu cursed, "Okay ka lang?"

"Y-yes," Wonwoo nodded, "You're doing well."

This time around, Mingyu damped the cloth on Wonwoo's body gently. Each damp getting more gentler. Wonwoo subtly smiled. If only they could stay like this forever. Together, and away from danger.

'You're asking for too much, you can't be with him in the first place,' Wonwoo frowned at that.

"Ayan, tapos na," Mingyu smiled, "Kuhaan lang kita ng damit ha?"

Wonwoo nodded. Mingyu stood up, but he went to his drawer instead of Wonwoo's.

"That's not mine,'' sabi ni Wonwoo.

"I know, but you need something loose and comfortable to wear, and I think my clothes are just the right fit."

Mingyu got Wonwoo an oversized grey sweater. "Here," Mingyu said, handing Wonwoo the sweater. He even helped Wonwoo wear it. Mingyu smiled when he saw how cute Wonwoo looked. "Told you it's the right fit."

After that, Mingyu tucked Wonwoo to bed. The Reaper felt shy and spoiled. Like Mingyu's doing so much for him.

"Thank you," he thanked the human.

"Won, you saved my life, you don't have to thank me," Mingyu reassured, "At ginagawa ko toh kase gusto ko."

They both fell silent after that. A few minutes passed, with just the two of them accompanied by silence. Mingyu decided to break it.

"Won?"

"Hmm?"

"What are you?"

Wonwoo hesitated, "I'm a Grim Reaper. I deliver dead souls to Death. I am Death's right hand. It's like a job, being a Reaper. We have to do what we're told to do, no excuses."

Mingyu hummed in reply, "and the guy... Hansol I think? Is he also a Reaper?"

"Yes."

"Pero bat ang lakas niya? Bakit kulay white yung apoy niya?"

"Because like what he said, he stole an Angel's grace."

"Angels? Totoo din sila?"

"Angels, Demons, Ghosts are all real Mingyu." Wonwoo explained.

Mingyu hummed. Another silence fell after that, then not long after, Wonwoo spoke.

"Are you scared of me? That I'm a Reaper?"

That had been troubling Wonwoo for quite some time now. He doesn't know if Mingyu will ever accept him. If he's fine with him being a Reaper. That they're different from each other.

But Wonwoo's worries were removed when he saw Mingyu smile.

"It's okay," Mingyu said.

"Mahal kita kahit ano ka pa."
