Love Him, Not Me

12.

     Sitting up on the bed and realizing that I was a an hour early, I was about to head back to sleep when I heard voices outside.

Tip toeing toward the door, I presmop sed my ear against the door to try and listen to the conversation.

"You don't have much time left (M/N), you're slowly killing yourself.": he heard a deep voice say.

"I don't care if I die. As long as he gets his happy ending.": he heard (M/N) say.

"For hundreds of years that I've known you, you never showed any signs of loving someone but why him?"

"There is still a lot you don't know about me Johnny. He's someone that I had cherished dearly so even if I die, I shall die seeing him happy so that I can also move on happily."

"You're already dying from the inside (M/N). Their already ordering me to kill you if you go too far.": Johnny warned.

"Then I shall make his wish come true even with my last breath. You can kill me then.": he said with no regrets.

Why is Johnny hyung here at this hour and what are they talking about? Is he talking about his past life? What does she look like? Then, I heard a loud frustrated sigh.

"(M/N), please think this over properly."

"I am, if its for him then I shall sacrifice my life for his happiness."

(M/N) likes guys too? Now this just peaks my interest but why does this conversation sound so sad? I wonder what happened to his lover.

"Fine then. I don't wish for you to die in my hands but when the time comes, there is no going back.": he said and everything went quiet.

"What are you doing to me Jun. I shall make sure your dream comes true before I die.": he said to himself.

Hearing footsteps approaching, I quickly jumped onto the bed and pretended to sleep. Hearing him walk in, I felt his presence beside me but I ignored him. Feeling his cold hand gently rubbing my cheek sent a shiver up my spine.

"I know you're awake.": he chuckled.

Giving up when he tickled me, I sat up.

"Alright alright! Stop!": I said while pushing his hands away.

"Someone was being nosy.": he said.

"What are you talking about?": I pretended.

"C'mon, stop pretending before I tickle you again.": he smirked.

"Okay fine, I heard everything. Can I ask something?": I asked.

"Well it depends on the question.": he said while looking out the window.

"Why was Johnny hyung here?": I stated with a simple one.

"Well he's different from us guardians and angles, he's a grim reaper, specialist in collecting souls and expert in combat.": he answered.

"So I've been working for a death god all along.": I said, a bit surprised.

"Yup."

"You always disappear at certain times, where did you go to?"

"Either finding my friend or at the cafe."

"Okay then, I heard you mentioned someone in your past life, what was he like?": I asked and he just sighed.

"He was the kindest, most energetic and curious person I've met.": I could see a sad smile form on his face.

"What happened...?"
