The Grim Reaper | Yeonbin

[-6]

The sun had risen up outside, peeking from the gap of curtains at Soobin's bedroom.

He stretched his body, he just woke up from his nice sleep after a few days. It was because he slept on someone-or something- chest, embraced by him.

It was no other than Yeonjun, the grim reaper.

Last night, they decided to forget about the thing that happened when Yeonjun left him alone in the bathroom. They talked about each other feeling, and decided to just enjoy this moment, forgetting about any other thing.

And Soobin couldn't be happier than this.

After stretching a little bit, he looked up to see the grim reaper's face that already looked at him with a gentle smile.

The boy gave back a smile lovingly, "morning," he said, with slightly hoarse voice.

Yeonjun moved his hand to fix Soobin's hair from the eyes, "morning, have a good sleep?"

"Hu-um, thanks," Soobin said, he closed his eyes again enjoying the grim reaper's hand on his hair and forehead that felt so gentle.

"Don't hesitate to ask for cuddle, I'll give it to you as long as I can."

Soobin opened his eyes slowly, looking at the clothing that Yeonjun always wore since the first time. He fiddled his finger to the edge of the shirt, feeling anxious a little bit remembering they just had 6 days left to the unknown ending for them.

No, don't think about that now, Soobin. Just enjoy this moment. He can disappear anytime.

"You okay?"

The boy nodded, still not looking at him, "I remember something," he said suddenly.

Yeonjun furrowed his eyebrows, "about?"

Soobin looked up again, seeing the grim reaper, "I remember your eyes was red the first time we met at the bridge, why it looks brown now? That looks like mine, like normal human. Did you know about that?"

"Oh, really?" Yeonjun slightly surprised, but then he remembered what the maid said to him few days ago,

"Your eyes isn't red anymore?"

So, his eyes wasn't red anymore? Since when?

"I didn't know about that, I have no reflection," Yeonjun tilted his head, "do you remember when was the last time you saw my eyes still red?"

Soobin hummed, looking at side to another recalling his memories, "I think I just saw once when we met at the bridge, after that your eyes already dark brown, the first day I could see you without suicide attemp."

Yeonjun was beyond confused. It's weird, a grim reaper eyes is red, whatever color when they alive, when they become a grim reaper it would actually change into red.

But everything was already too weird since Soobin could see him.

"Do you...feel something since that day?" Soobin swifted his body slightly, fixing his position turning his body to him.

Yeonjun shook his head, giving a small smile, "no, that's why I didn't even realize that till now," he said.

With a heavy sigh, Soobin relaxed his body again, "I hope you don't get something terrible."

"I already prepared my self for the worst, bin."

A pet name. The boy's face now flushed red. Still the words Yeonjun said made him hurt, feeling guilty. He didn't know what he should say.

But thankfully, Yeonjun thought Soobin was quiet because of the pet name he said to the boy. The grim reaper saw how his face getting red.

"Can I call you that? Or...binnie? Is that alright?"
