Jion carefully stepped into the alley while holding his breath and harboring a fervent hope. “Suho.” As always, Suho’s small body was curled up under the streetlight. He didn’t answer. After looking around, Jion took a step closer. He crouched down in front of him and called out again. “Suho, hyung is here.” “…Jion-hyung?” Suho finally lifted his head and responded. He stared into Jion’s eyes, then suddenly stood up and looked around. Jion already knew he was looking for…- 213.1 K • Completed
- Jion had just put a mouthful of stir fried anchovies into his mouth. He was so startled that he swallowed the food after barely chewing a few times. Feeling his throat close up, he gulped down water and patted his chest. His grandfather clicked his tongue in disapproval. It took Jion a while to finally calm down, and he gave an awkward smile. “I’m going to school to finish my personal statement and study a bit. Midterms are coming up soon.” “…….” “Ah, I’m serious. Early…

- Why was he speaking so scaryly to a kid who couldn’t even properly understand what it meant? He could have explained it in a way he could understand, and kindly. Suho was terrified and unable to say a word. He could only cry. Jion faced Kwon Chasa with the sole determination to protect Suho from him. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid, but saving Suho was more important than that right now. “He already promised me that he would follow the man in black clothes after seeing his mother. So……

- It was only after more time had passed that Jion realized he was a grim reaper who had come to take his mother, and that the axe he was holding was a buwol, one of the items that proved one's identity as a grim reaper. That was why, unlike the axes commonly known, the shaft was long enough to touch the ground, and the blade gleamed with a golden light, making it feel even more menacing.. The man now visible to Jion’s eyes was holding something that looked exactly like the buwol held by that grim…

- “What’s this? It’s creepy...” Jion rubbed the goosebumps on his forearm, glanced at the alley entrance once more, and then turned his gaze back to Suho. Suho was struggling to bend his fingers, which wouldn't move properly. His hands had stiffened just as they had been injured in the accident. "N-nine..." Not long after, Suho held out his hand toward Jion. His left hand was formed into a loose fist, and on his right hand, all fingers except the pinky were folded down. "Nine? The ninth…

- –Since I can get through to you, I guess nothing much happened. I thought something was wrong since you didn't reply. “You sent that text at dawn. I was sleeping at that hour….” –Is that so? Well, as long as you’re fine. But seeing as you picked up the phone, you must be free? “No? I’m busy!” –Wait there. I’m on my way. “No, I said I’m bus–” He hung up before Jion could even finish his sentence. Jion stared at the screen with an incredulous expression and…

- “Jion, everything okay? See you next week.” “Ah, yes! Go home safely!” After giving a quick reply to the greeting from Im Hyejin, who had just come out of the staff room, Jion glanced at Kwon Chasa once again. He briefly looked at Im Hyejin’s retreating figure as she left the convenience store, then walked toward the fresh food aisle. Jion suddenly felt a burning sensation in the wrist that had been held by him. He said he just came from work, but he’s free? He hates wasting time, so…

- Jion took the phone away from his ear for a moment to checked the time, he didn’t realize that he was smiling. He had not even brushed his teeth yet, but the start time for the 5th period was fast approaching. “I’m at school right now. If it’s not urgent, I’ll call you after school.” –Then just call me with the wooden plaque when it’s convenient for you. “Ah… that works. I’ll do that.” Just as they had roughly reached an agreement and he was about to say he should hang…

- Far from finishing the work quickly, more troublesome issues were just accumulating. They were lucky enough to somehow manage to resolve Kang Seoyoon’s situation, but Park Seolhwa was in a different situation. He felt he needed to act diligently to ensure that Jion could keep the promise he had made to the deceased this time. Realistically, it was impossible for Jion to find Jo Yunkyung, and if things remained as they were, Jion might be harmed for failing to keep his promise to the dead. After…

- The office of Kwon Chasa, located in the underground of Yeomra Palace, was bustling for the first time in a while. Noksa1 belonging to the court of the Ten Kings sat in a corner while reading scrolls. Yegang Noksa, who had finished his review first, shook his head at Kwon Chasa, and Seongye Noksa, who had just put down the scroll, also shook his head. Kwon Chasa sighed. “Are you certain?” “Yes. Among the deceased who stood trial in the past year, there is no Jo Yunkyung born in the…
