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……- 213.1 K • Completed
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…- 213.1 K • Completed
“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…- 213.1 K • Completed
“Uh… I know this place.” “You do?” Of course I know. It’s a place I visit every single year for holidays and memorial days. Jion nodded at Kwon Chasa, who asked in surprise, and then quietly pulled his hand away from his grasp. “…Ah.” Jion was about to take a step forward, but stopped in his tracks. It was because he suddenly remembered something. That ghost under the tree that he saw when he came here with his grandfather. That soul he guessed was around his age because…- 213.1 K • Completed
Kwon Chasa, who had been specially dispatched to the living world alongside him, was famous as a legendary figure who had never once failed to guide a soul to the afterlife. Yu Chasa had just taken his first steps as a grim reaper. He was the only one to volunteer for this special dispatch, filled with expectations that there would be much to learn from him. It was only later that Yu Chasa learned Kwon Chasa used inhumane methods to maximize fear, mercilessly wielding a buwol1 when dealing with stubborn…- 213.1 K • Completed
Was Kwon Chasa saying that out of concern for him? Was he worried something bad might happen to him? He called him idling and all that, but could that really be the reason he wanted to go with him? Jion placed his chin on his hand. His thoughts were leaning ever so slightly in a positive direction. But once he recalled Kwon Chasa’s cold face, he solidified his conclusion that ‘there is absolutely no way that could be true.’ What was there to worry about? He probably just wanted to finish the…- 213.1 K • Completed
Jion burst into laughter as he watched Yu Chasa muttering with a serious expression. He had a rough idea, but it seemed Kwon Chasa really did have a cold personality. To think that such a man had acted as if he cared for him made him feel strange again. It was only after hearing Jion’s laughter that Yu Chasa suddenly came to his senses and his face immediately turned pale. “Keep it a secret from Kwon Chasa that I said this…” “Yes.” Since Jion also agreed with Yu Chasa to some…- 213.1 K • Completed
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…- 213.1 K • Completed
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…- 213.1 K • Completed
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…- 213.1 K • Completed
