The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 12: Grandma Jyeong (Part 1)

The group from X-Vel arrived at the sunrise nursing home at eleven p.m.

Arriving there they began to organize the stage and prepare various kinds of snacks that they brought in the main hall.

"Let's have a few quick friends, grandma and grandpa are waiting for us." Jae-Bom as the chairman of the event this time coordinated staff and writers.

"Already editor-in-chief Kang, please start the show." Report a staff member to Jae-Bom.

"Hmm.thank you!"

"Test.test.a.a.a.hana.dul.set..happy afternoon all grandparents. How are you guys doing?" Jae-Bom takes the stage and takes the spotlight with a microphone.

"May you be healthy, good and happy. First of all, I am Kang Jae-Bom as the person in charge of the event this time introducing the friends who came with me. Please friends." Jae-Bom asks staff and writers to introduce themselves.

After getting acquainted with sweet snacks that attract the heart is shared.

The faces of the residents of the home.

"I want it too, I want it." Shouted a grandmother who had just escaped from her room, she walked while pushing her infusion pole.

"Where's Goo Jyeong's grandmother going?" Shouted a nun while running after Jyeong's grandmother.

"I want to, I want to eat sweet cake, I'm tired of hambaaaar food." Whine granny Jyeong.

All attention is now on Grandma Jyeong.

Yumi was shocked when she saw the red 'D-3' tattoo on Jyeong's grandmother's forehead.

Two sisters slowly pulled Grandma Jyeong back to her room.

Yumi followed from a distance away.

Tok..

Yumi knocks on the door of the VIP room inhabited by Jyeong's grandmother.

"Can I come in, Grandma?" Yumi asked as she peeked in front of the glass door.

Grandma Jyeong did not respond, she was standing by the window.

Yumi enters Jyeong's grandmother's room, though she has not been granted permission.

"Grandmother.do you want this?" Yumi offered a pink cake box, containing a pink macaroon.

"Waaah. macaroni." Grandma Jyeong is excited to get what she wants.

"I have two more grandmas." Yumi gave two boxes of yellow and purple macaroni.

"Let's take a walk to the park, son." Take Grandma Jyeong to Yumi.

Grandma Jyeong pulled Yumi by the hand, taking her to sit in the garden chair.

"Hmmmm. so good." Grandma Jyeong enjoys the macaroni that Yumi gave her.

"Why is grandma banned from our show?" Ask Yumi.

"It is not forbidden to participate in the event, but it is forbidden to eat sweet foods. If it's that kind of show I'm not interested." Grandma Jyeong replied.

"Why is grandma forbidden to eat sweet?"

"I have diabetes, my body can't produce insulin. I have to check my blood sugar three times a day, keep my diet and stress in check. But I'm getting more stressed with all the rules, not to mention thinking about my kids." Grandma Jyeong told a story while enjoying the macaroni.

"Emm.. If you may know what's going on with the grandmom's kids?" Yumi tries to look deeper into Jyeong's grandmother.

"They only come if it takes my signature to cash out the money. Hah.so a lot of money I thought would make me happy so when I was young I desperately worked for my children. But now they're just taking care of the money and dumping me here."

Yumi, the taste bud, she couldn't bear to listen to Grandma Jyeong's sad story.

"You crying? Wh why? Hehehe.. you cry, don't cry, I don't cry, you why cry?" Grandma Jyeong looked at Yumi who seemed to be holding back her cries but failed.

"Sir..what do you want right now?" Ask Yumi.

"Hmm..why ask like that?"

"Emm. It's okay, just curious."

"Emm. I actually want to eat with my three children and their spouses and grandchildren. But they are busy working, hmm. Salahku also taught my children to always be independent especially about money. So now they're busy with their own business." Jyeong's grandmother's story about her family.

"Emm.. is there anything else besides that?" Ask Yumi.

"If you have one, would you make it happen?" Ask grandma Jyeong.

"Emm. if I could I would make it happen." Answer Yumi steady.

"Then bring me a nice banana cake tomorrow." 

"Okay, tomorrow I'll bring the best banana cake for grandma." 

"Lee Yumi, I'm a writer from X-Vel who's having an event ahead." Answer Yumi.

"My name is Goo Jyeong. Former CEO of HeoGoo Electronics."

"What?? That famous electronic HeoGoo??" Yumi is shocked to hear Jyeong's grandmother's background.

Grandma Jyeong nodded.

"But now the company has been taken over by my son."

"Lee Yumi let's eat!!" Jae-Bom shouted from a distance while waving his hands.

"okay." Answer Yumi.

"Miss, sorry I had to hang out with them. Tomorrow afternoon I come to bring grandma banana cake. I promise." 

Grandma Jyeong smiled, "There go."

"Jyeong's grandmother's drug." Yumi ran into the hall of the nursing home where the event took place.

...----------------...

The X-Vel group returned to the X-Vel building at five in the afternoon.

"Thank you all, especially to the writers who helped with our show. Hopefully with the joint activities between the editor and the writer of the relationship we will all be more familiar." Welcome Jae-Bom after arriving at the lobby of the X-Vel building.

"For the authors are welcome home, we will take care of the rest. But if you're still gonna be with us, it's gonna be fun." Jae-Bom's heart-cooling smile makes Yumi want to linger with him but she remembers the deadlines of her novels.

"Yumi.. Do you want to go home?" Ask Jae-Bom.

"Hmm. I have to catch the deadline you gave me." 

"Emm. Then wait a minute, after the other writers come home I'll take you."

"No, I'd like to stop by the mini market anyway, thanks." Yumi refused subtly.

"It's okay, I'm with me…"

"No, I'm in a hurry, bye. See you soon." Yumi runs away from Jae-Bom.

'Am I wrong with Yumi? Why does Yumi keep such a distance from me?' Inner Jae-Bom.

...----------------...

Yumi was waiting for the bus, she sat at the stop while daydreaming. Yumi's thoughts drifted to Jyeong's grandmother.

"Eoh? Why is it suddenly raining? Though today's weather forecast will not rain, haisshh. Where should I shop for cooking ingredients anyway." 

Wusssh's.. Ciiiii…

The bus that Yumi was waiting for finally arrived.

Yumi quickly entered and sat in the back seat.

Yumi stuck her head on the windowpanes, occasionally Yumi breathed a rough breath.

Meeting people who have tattoos left the rest of the age makes Yumi's heart not calm.

Teeeit..

The sound of a bell being pressed by one of the passengers blew away the daydream.

"Eoh. my stop." Yumi stood up, rushing to get down.

'Good thing I'm aware of my daydreams, if I can't miss them, huh.. Yumi you have to focus, passion.' Yumi cheered herself up in the heart.

Ciiiii..

The bus stopped at the stop.

Yumi went down, she covered her head with the bag she was carrying, but suddenly Yumi felt that someone was coming to paddle her from behind.

Yumi looked.

"Han Gyu-Sik?"

"It's a good thing I'm not late, it turns out my instincts are good too." Gyu-Sik said with a smile.

Yumi can feel the sincerity of Gyu-Sik's heart.

'Wicked Han Gyu-Sik! You are a dangerous creature.' Inner Yumi.
