DING DONG!
All three of them were quite startled by the sudden interruption of the doorbell as their conversation halted. Yeon frowned his eyebrows and gazed at the entrance inquisitively for a few seconds.
"Who is it now? I don't remember anyone visiting my apartment apart from you, Reaper 299." He shifted his stare at him while responding in a husky dubious tone.
Suho nodded his head along with his statement and fretted his grimace too, wondering about who could be it. "Let me check who is it." He quickly hushed out of the room.
Dae was standing still with a frowned eloquence as somehow he was still immersed in his thoughts about Yeon departing to heaven after the fulfillment of his duty. Unknowingly, he perceived a feeling of agitation churning inside his heart. As if, he didn't want him to leave anyway so soon, but couldn't bring himself to spill it out before him.
As Suho walked out, he slightly peeked at Dae who was still standing with a frigid gesture. His gaze was aimed downwards and he was fidgeting nonchalantly. With scrunched eyebrows, it definitely appealed that he was immersed within his internal conflicts.
"Are you still contemplating about Reaper 299's statement?" Yeon moved a bit closer to him with a fixed stare towards his cast. "Why are you so bothered about it?"
"I just don't know why... I just... nevermind." Dae abruptly fussed at him and turned behind to head towards the living room without responding to him properly. All of a sudden, Yeon walked farther closer to him and grabbed his right arm from behind in an attempt to stop him.
"Wait! Why are you being all grumpy so sudden? You were the one who eavesdropped on us first! Now, why are you acting so sulky?" He sounded utterly baffled by his tone.
Dae slightly shifted his peek sideways and glanced at the arm Yeon was holding onto firmly. He raised his chin up and stared straight into his eyes before responding, "you were the one who confronted me first that grim reapers shouldn't be touching humans. But I guess, you are quite comfortable around me by now." Dae sounded pretty vexed with some issues and he chose to vent out his frustration over him confined with a taunt!
Immediately Yeon unleashed his grip over his arm as his statement somehow made him a bit modest. He rubbed his shoulder with a shy grimace and tended to avoid his eye contact with Dae while answering him back.
"So-Sorry if it made you uncomfortable. But I just wanted to inquire why are you being so irked about it."
"And as I already told you, I don't know why am I irked about it! I am going to grab my wallet from your bedroom. I forgot it there." With a hoarse response, Dae firmly headed straight inside his room.
Yeon stood behind all perplexed with a poker face and stomped his feet hard on the ground in agitation. He flipped up his dark black hair bangs atop his forehead with his broad, cold fingers, and cryptically glanced at the bedroom once.
"What's wrong with me from yesterday? Why am I so bothered about his reaction? And why did I really feel comfortable with touching him? Gosh, I must be losing my mind now." He whined on his own in a deep lower pitch.
..........
Suho headed straight towards the entrance but paused for a second before opening the door. He was a bit startled too as someone coming to a grim reaper's residence on his own will is absolutely a weird behavior.
He unlocked the doorknob and opened the door halfway. An unknown, tall human, wearing a formal white shirt and a pair of denim jeans, looking considerably handsome and bold with broad muscular shoulder and sturdy biceps was standing at the door. As soon as he unhitched the door, the unknown person seemed very impatient to dash inside the house.
"Who are you?" Suho inquired him at first with a scrunched eyebrow ridge.
The man first intended to scan Suho from head to toe with his dark dubious eyes and fretted his grimace. "Are you a real grim reaper?" He reciprocated abruptly in a deep voice,
He flinched in surprise with such an odd response from him that for an instance, he forgot to blink his eyelashes. After getting a hold over that reaction, he frowned his eloquence and glared at him intensively. "What kind of boorish question is it? Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man seemed a bit startled with his irked response and checked the nameplate at the door again. With a faint sound this time, he muttered, "but Dae had given me this address to pick him up."
"Dae?" Suho rolled his eyes in awe at his answer and continued gawking at him. "Do you know Dae?"
"Of course! I am Kwan and his friend! He had only given me this address of Mr. Grim Reaper." With an enthusiastic gesture, he spouted his answer quite loudly.
His sudden raised voice flinched him again and without thinking for a moment he grabbed his arm and tugged him inside the apartment quickly, shutting the door. Kwan was very surprised with his sudden change in behavior as he almost dragged him inside holding his arm.
"What are you chanting about all these things so aloud? The neighbors could have overheard from your trumpet pitch! You don't even know how problematic it will be for us to hypnotize the whole neighborhood!" With an irked gesture, Suho hissed at him.
Kwan stood silently, all numb and baffled, nodding his head in obeyance to his response. "Is that why you dragged me inside here?"
"Then if I had left you outside, you would have let the whole neighborhood about us!" He still sounded vexed at him.
Kwan didn't try to make him anymore infuriated and stood still, lowering his grimace to a spectacle. Gulping his saliva a bit anxiously, he murmured in a feeble voice, "well, then how long you are gonna stand like this grabbing my hand so hard?"
