Dear Reaper | Jimin fanfiction [Completed]

19 - Be mindful

Jimin's POV

"Jimin... who's that?"

Yoongi's voice was somewhat reprimanding. I gulped.

"Yes. Okay, I'll come back now, Yoongi," I exclaimed before standing up and walking towards him.

A hand grabbed my wrist and I looked back to see Evelyn holding me tightly, her eyes searching mine.

"You'll be back, right?"

I smiled back at her, brushing her hair off her shoulder. "Of course, I will. Wait for me."

"What the fuck..." I heard Yoongi whisper behind me.

I turned to face his disgusted form before walking up to him and grabbing his hand to teleport back to our world. In a blink of an eye, we arrived at my home, and I took off my jacket before throwing it on a table.

He crossed his arms, furrowing his eyebrows. "So? Who was that?"

Playing dumb now after he saw us together would be meaningless. Lying to my best friend would be horrible, too.

I loosened my tie, looking away from him. "Evelyn. A girl who can see me, who came here after following me, and someone I can be with without worrying about anything else."

"So the reason you're staying at that school is because of her?" He asked me in disbelief.

I stood quiet for a while before nodding.

"How can this be?" He blinked repeatedly, trying to make sense of it. "A human contacting a reaper? She even came here?!"

I sighed. "I don't know... Up until now, I didn't find anything out of the ordinary when I was with her. She was just like any other human, just a bit more interested in us."

He squinted his eyes at me.

"W-What?"

"You seem... different. I just can't put my finger on it..."

Different? How so?

"You seem... more alive..." His stare hardened. "More vibrant... What's happening to you?"

I gulped. That can't be.

Being lively... That's not what I was supposed to be.

"I can't," he mumbled before walking towards my small cupboard and opening it.

"What the- Where did all of your alcohol go?"

I shrugged. "Threw them away. She doesn't like it when I drink..."

Realizing what I just blurted out, I quickly covered my mouth. Yoongi gaped at me in utter shock.

"Oh my god, you're in love with her!"

"W-What? No, I..."

"This was it. This was what was different about you," he bellowed while stepping towards me. "You're in love with a human and you're starting to act like one!"

"N-No, I'm not..." I exclaimed, to convince not only him, but myself as well.

"There's literally human energy oozing from you! It's not that strong, but it's still there. When I saw you two just now, I didn't want to admit it. But the way you were looking at her was screaming your feelings towards her."

My hands started shaking. I bit my lips, trying to stop it from quivering.

This shouldn't be happening...

"But most of all," he said before grabbing my shoulders, making me look at him. His expression suddenly turned grief-stricken, pained and miserable. "You're putting her in danger, Jimin..."

I covered my face with my hand, wanting to cry but being unable to do so. Since when did reapers even cry?

Not now... not ever.

"I know that..."

I sighed deeply.

"I do... and the last thing I would want in my whole life is to see her hurting... But I can't bring myself to leave her... I don't want her to cry after me, Yoongi."

"She will be exposed to dangers the more time you spend with her," he whispered, his voice softening. "You have to keep your distance."

Inhaling sharply, I nodded.

"I will... And I will do everything to protect her."

He shook his head. "No, you don't understand."

My brows crashed together. "Huh?"

Suddenly, I received a message from the higher ups, calling me to present my report on my work through telepathic connection.

The fact that I didn't prepare it made me panic.

"Sorry, Yoongi. Duty calls."

I saluted him and teleported before he could say anything.

"Jimin. You're up," the secretary lady said monotonously while typing furiously on her computer, without lifting her head up to look at me.

I hate this bureaucratic place.

This woman could at least smile at me...

I frowned.

Did I just want this chick to smile at me?

She's not a human. You're not a human.

Don't succumb to feelings.
