The Grim Reaper | Yeonbin

[-17]

"Hey Yeonjun."

The one that been called turned his head looking at the caller.

"Why can I always see you now? I don't think about you 24/7. Do you always think about me?"

Yeonjun scoffed, "what nonsense is that? Of course no, I have other things to think about," partly a lie but he didn't know why he always visible now to Soobin.

Yeonjun now sat at the couch in Soobin's room, and Soobin on his chair with a laptop on the desk doing assignment.

"Like what?" Soobin turned around to the couch looking at Yeonjun, lifted his right eyebrow up and smirking, "you're my grim reaper and waiting for my suicide, what else would you think about anyway?"

"Bold of you to say I am your grim reaper. I'm a free grim reaper, no one own me," Yeonjun said firmly, leaned back on the couch.

"Hmm whatever," the boy rolled his eyes, turned back to his laptop.

The room got quiet again, just a sound of Soobin typing on his laptop and some slow music.

"Soobin."

Without turning or looking at Yeonjun, the boy answered, "not 'dumbo' again now?"

"You want me to call you that?"

"No," Soobin answered so fast, "so, why?"

The grim reaper stayed silent for a while, hesitating to ask what on his mind. But he encouraged himself anyway.

"How's your relationship with your parents now?"

Soobin's fingers stopped typing on his laptop, silence came for a while. He didn't see that coming.

After a minute didn't get the answer, Yeonjun sighed softly, "I tho-"

"Fine, we're fine," he finally answered the question without turning his head from his laptop, then his fingers moved again typing on it.

Silence came again after, now Yeonjun didn't know what to say. They were busy with their thought.

Suddenly there was a slightly loud sigh, it came from Soobin.

"Actually, it's more than fine," the boy admitted, "it's great, really," he said, turned his body again to face the grim reaper.

A serious look showed on Yeonjun's face, waiting for Soobin to continue.

"I-I never experienced this kind of great relationship with my parents. Though we're still not talking much, but...they now care a little about me..."

Soobin now turned his chair too facing the grim reaper, his hands were fumbling on his lap, biting his bottom lip and his head was bowing down.

The grim reaper furrowed his eyebrows, "so...why you acting like this?" He asked confused. Really, Soobin should look happy if that was great, right?

Soobin got silent again, he closed his eyes and still bowed his head down looking at his lap.

Yeonjun knew the boy so well that he knew when the boy kept something, and this was when he did.

"Umm..." Soobin hesitated to say, still fidgeting his finger on his lap.

"What? Tell me."

Yeonjun's soft voice finally made the boy talk.

"I-is that okay? Is that okay if I am happy?"

The grim reaper furrowed his eyebrows again, "of course, that's good-"

"I mean- is that o-okay for you?"
