The Grim Reaper | Yeonbin

[-24]

Soobin thought, Yeonjun's presence was not that bad.

Soobin thought, Yeonjun could help him.

Soobin thought, Yeonjun...what? What did he expect from a grim reaper? Of course, he wanted Soobin to die. What's the thing that 'not bad' from it?

His body felt numb right now. He looked up at his room's ceiling, laying on his bed. There was a bruise on his stomach and his cheeks felt sore. His head was slightly hurt because of the harsh grab on his hair yesterday. But thank God there was no bruises evident on his arms and legs or any parts that could be seen, he didn't want his parents to see that.

Yesterday was terrible, one of the most in Soobin's life. Since the first day he met Mingi, the one who bullied him at campus, he knew that his college life would never be at peace, even worse than his school life. So he decided to always obey what the bullies- especially Mingi wanted, to avoid the problems. He just wanted to graduate with high grades that could satisfy his parents, and to be the heir of Choi company.

He never once thought about how to confront Mingi, never ever. After going through his first year, he told himself to just do what the bullies wanted, because he knew...they just wanted his wealth. Nothing more, nothing less.

He never once thought about having a friends, though. Soobin thought it was impossible. Remember how the others treated him when he was in middle school? It happened again since his first semester. It wasn't Soobin's fault that all the students there were a bitch, the rumor about him being a rich brat and a nerd loner plus Mingi's favorite prey made no one wanted to be near him. So he really fought for it, and he couldn't lean on anyone, he was all alone.

But Yeonjun came, he was there, he knew what Soobin went through this two years of his life, he knew how everyone treated Soobin like shit, he knew Soobin was suffering.

He was there, Yeonjun was there, listened to him those days since their first encounter, he told Soobin about his past life, about his mission-

Right, it was his mission. Why did he think about Yeonjun helping him? The suffering that Soobin went through was everything Yeonjun wanted, so by that Soobin would do suicide as soon as possible.

But why? Why he told Soobin about his life? Why he smiled in relief when he'd been asked about tutoring Beomgyu? Why he smiled when he finally had a friend? What were his intention doing that? Soobin didn't know.

It was already noon, and he was still laying on his bed. Thank God that he didn't have a class today so he could rest more. Even if there was a class, he was sure he couldn't come with this state.

Soobin moved his head slightly to the door when he heard a knock.

"Soobin-ssi, are you awake already?"

The boy sighed in relief, it was that maid's voice, Eunji, that one who was close to him.

"Ah, ahjooma, just come in," Soobin shouted so the maid could hear him. The shouting made him hiss, his rib hurted.

A second after, the door opened, showing Eunji who looked slightly concern.

"Do you feel well, Soobin-ssi? You didn't have dinner last night, and you rarely skip your breakfast. Are you okay?" She asked, her voice sounded so worried while her eyes still looked concern.

"Ah, yeah, not really..." He paused and then smile slightly, "I got bruise on my stomach and it hurts if I tried to get up. That's why..." He said with a grin on his face. It wasn't the first time and she knew everytime that happened to him. Like he said, she really like a mother for him.
