part seventeen: alive

Thump!

Soonyoung heard a thump on the floor before groaning. He sat up, rubbing the back of his head. Did he just teleport and fall?

He looked up as he glanced around, he was back in his room. Soonyoung was back alive.

Maybe it was too much to ask, but Wonwoo couldn't have teleport him on his bed? Soonyoung fell right next to his bed. He climbed up on his bed and laid down. Seeing his tiger plushie and soccer ball on the floor and the ball rolling around.

The door opened. "Soonyoung!" A woman's voice called as the other jolted. It was his mother. His mom he had been missing for these passed months. His mom who had more eyebags than she used to. His mom with tears in here eyes.

"Ma!" Soonyoung mustered up a smile with open arms as she cautiously walked over and then hugged him tightly. "How? Tell me, Soonyoung?" Her voice cracked as she held her son's shoulders, her touch seemed light, like she was getting weaker.

"Me?" She nodded.

"Soonyoung, I saw you die, right in front of me, with you in my arms as you still had a smile on your face. You can't be here, it's impossible." She muttered and rambled as Soonyoung watched her with bright eyes.

"Well the world is impossible sometimes, eh?" He giggled as he stood up. There's no way. Soonyoung can't tell her the catch, not quite yet. "Ma, can I have alone time to walk around? Like I used to?" Her old eyes widened with worry, rubbing her own hands as she eventually nodded.

"I'll make you your favorite kimchi stew since you're back." She grinned as his mom cupped his face and just had the happiest expression that Soonyoung ever saw in his mom. He can't help but feel guilty.

Once she left the room, Soonyoung slid to his laptop, typing in the password as he pressed the search bar. Typing in 'How to communicate with grim reaper?'. He then realized it's a stupid idea.

All these people are living, they don't even know much about grim reapers! He had an internal monologue moment as he closed his eyes. Is Wonwoo okay?

Soonyoung just hoped that the other was fine, "Wonwoo's fine I don't need to worry." He tried to say it out loud but he wouldn't believe it. Where is the other? Soonyoung bit his lip, what if he's bed ridden like he said? No, he should be fine right? He said so.

What if he's lying? Soonyoung chewed on his thumb until he figured out he should take a walk. Walks always helped clear his mind when his mind was all cloudy and messy.

He padded to put on his shoes, his shoes were even cleaner than when he last wore them. Soonyoung couldn't but feel bad for his parents. He wished he could stay longer, he'd have to give them an explanation soon.

Soonyoung grabbed his cap and wore it backwards, like he used to. Oh he sure did miss wearing hats. Hats were fun to wear.

Soonyoung's door opened as he jumped from checking himself out in the mirror. "Ma I thought you said you were—"

Oh. It's a cat. What's a cat doing here?
