CHAPTERS
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.

- 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…

- The only regrettable thing was that the moments captured in these photos were not vivid in his memory. He felt that unless he looked at the photos periodically, he wouldn’t even be able to properly remember what his mother looked like in the future. Eleven years have already passed; has Mom found some peace in the meantime? Had all the hard work of helping the deceased benefited her? Jion clasped his hands together in prayer. He hoped that his mother would also have a chance to be reincarnated as a…

- The next day, Kwon Chasa also arrived at Han River Park at the time Jion was scheduled to meet Kang Seoyoon. It was a unilateral action kept secret from Jion, who was reluctant to have him by his side. It didn’t seem like Kang Seoyoon would cause Jion any particular harm, but that didn’t mean he could let his guard down. He decided to follow them from a distance, both to ensure Jion’s safety and to take Kang Seoyoon to the underworld as soon as she overcame her fear. He wondered why he had to…

- Jion stood in line in front of a food truck selling a menu item called cube steak. Kwon Chasa also stood silently beside Jion, taking in the backs of the people passing by, but his ears were focused on the conversation between Jion and Kang Seoyoon. “If you’re a senior in high school, studying must be tough… Hmm… Is the CSAT still a long way off?” “There is a little over a month left. But since I applied through early admissions and just need to meet the minimum requirements, I don’t…

- Fortunately, even in Han River Park, which was filled with people everywhere you looked, there was a secluded spot. Kang Seoyoon stopped under a small tree, and Jion and Kwon Chasa followed her. They sat down on the grass. Kang Seoyoon curled up into a ball while nervously glancing at Kwon Chasa, whose expression was as cold as ice. “Can you at least control your expression?” “What’s wrong with my expression?” Jion could not bring himself to say that the atmosphere here was so cold that…

- “…Hello.” As Jion slightly bowed, Kwon Chasa nodded his head and immediately placed his hand on the floor. Not long after, the gate, which had become familiar to Jion’s eyes as well, appeared on the stair railing. Without hesitation, he pulled the handle and opened the door. “Take it.” Do I have to go to that house again today? Jion tilted his head in confusion but still obediently reached out and took the hand as Kwon Chasa instructed. Today, his hand was warm, so Jion wasn't startled…

- “Student, do you know what the problem is with humans and ghosts? It’s that if you speak nicely, they just don’t understand.” “…….” “They’re already grave sinners, so why should they be let off the hook any longer? They won’t even be able to collect their bones once they get to the underworld. It would be wiser to go there as soon as possible and beg to let them be reincarnated.” Jion could not offer any rebuttal to the voice, which had grown even colder. To Jion, the…
