The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 16: Will of Jyeong's grandmother.

Yumi braced herself to open a letter from Jyeong's grandmother.

"Huft. Come on Yumi you can definitely." Yumi cheered herself up.

Yumi opened a shabby white envelope, inside which was a paper.

Not yet anything Yumi had cried, her tears fell on Jyeong's grandmother's handwriting.

'Dear Lee Yumi's..

I thought God didn't love me, but I was wrong.

God is still kind to me, he sent me a kind angel at the end of my life.

Lee Yumi thanks to you I can feel the sweetness of a world that has long been bland.

If only we could meet a little longer, but yasudah, this is his destiny.

Take care of your health, exercise and eat regularly, do not damage your own body like me.

Take wisdom from the journey of my life that I told you about.

You can work as hard as I used to, but you also have to compensate by filling your heart with happiness.

You're young, your path is long.

Have fun, seek true love while you are young, build a small family and love them wholeheartedly. 

When you read this letter I was sure it was in a very bad state, so Yumi helped me. Give me my last request.

Take the will to pay for all my assets in the locker of a sauna. I bought that locker to keep my securities on all my property.

I'm sorry I can't share my treasure with you, Yumi, but I have a small gift for you.

Diloker's got a little bag with some money, get it, you deserve it. 

Promise me you'll have fun with that money.

Thanks again Lee Yumi.'

Yumi sobbed after she finished reading the letter from Jyeong's grandmother.  

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

Teeeeeet…

Yumi pressed a button inside the bus, then she got off at a nearby stop.

Yumi walks while hugging Jyeong's grandmother's bag that she picked up at the counter of a sauna. Yumi's mind was empty, again she had to face someone's departure, heavy for her.

Yumi stops in front of the tavern where Gyu-Sik works.

The atmosphere of the store is not so crowded, there are only four tables filled, ‘TUTUP’ board is already on display at the store door, a sign they do not accept customers anymore for today.

Yumi just looks at Gyu-Sik from the glass door, Gyu-Sik seems busy cleaning the tables and chairs.

“Why stay out? Come in.” Suddenly Maru approached Yumi.

“Ahh.. not sajangnim, thank you. I'll just wait here.” Yumi felt bad.

“Eoh? You picked me up?” Gyu-Sik.

“I just got home.”

“Emm.. but I'm still a bit old, so just log in first if you want to wait for me.” Gyu-Sik asks Yumi to enter the tavern.

Yumi glanced at Maru.

“Already come on in.” Maru finally manages to get Yumi into the tavern.

“You want me to make you a drink? Hot tea? Warm chocolate? Milk?” Ask Maru.

“No need sajangnim please continue your work. Let's just say I'm not here.” Yumi still feels strange in her neighborhood since everyone knows that she and Gyu-Sik are married.

“Eits.. how can I assume the wife of my employee does not exist? Hehe..”

Yumi scratched her head though it didn't itch.

‘Wife?’ 

“I'm really okay sajangnim, can wait inside course already happy.”

“Then, stay a little while longer.” Maru walks towards Gyu-Sik who is in the kitchen.

‘Hahh..it still feels strange to meet a neighbor after they know I'm married to Inner Gyu-Sik’ Yumi.

“Hmm? Why did you bite your lip?” Ask Gyu-Sik who suddenly approaches Yumi.

“There you work first.” Yumi encourages Gyu-Sik to slowly ask him to finish his work.

“Haduh.. because of me yes. Then I'll just go home, you get your job done.”

Gyu-Sik embraces Yumi's shoulder.

“I also want to go home.” Gyu-Sik whispers near Yumi's ear.

“Jang sajangnim we go home first, thanks.” Gyu-Sik salutes from afar, then trains Yumi out of the tavern.

“Emm. sorry.” Gyu-Sik releases his hand from Yumi's shoulder.

Yumi was a little misbehaved, she didn't respond to anything.

“You okay? Your face looks sad.” Gyu-Sik looks at Yumi.

“Sul hanjan hajja.” Ask Yumi suddenly. *Sul hanjan hajja : Come drink (alcohol) with me.

“Gabjagi?” *Gabjagi : Suddenly? (the word used to express something sudden.)

“Why? Not want?” 

“Not really, come on. I hear children today like to drink in the park while eating a snack or fried chicken, want to try?”

“Hmm. johayo.” Answer Yumi flat. *Johayo: Like (in the context of this conversation it means agree.)

They walk without talking to each other, but actually Gyu-Sik wants to ask a lot of things to Yumi, but seeing the look on Yumi's face that looks sad makes Gyu-Sik undo his intentions.

“Wait a minute, I'll buy soju, beer and some snack.”

“Hmm.”

“Mau ramyeon?”

Yumi simply replied with a nod.

“Oke, I buy first.” Gyu-Sik goes into the minimarket while Yumi waits in front of the minimarket while continuing to hug Jyeong's grandmother's bag.

After buying ammunition to drink they went to the park.

“Hahh.. The sky view is beautiful.” Gyu-Sik sits on a chair and is followed by Yumi.

Yumi immediately took the soju bottle, then opened it.

GLEK…

“Yak! Is it mineral water? Slow down, it's soju, alcohol!” Gyu-Sik pulls the soju bottle from Yumi's hand.

Yumi recaptured the bottle of soj and took a small sip.

“Hahh.. alcohol is indeed the best.” Yumi breathed a sigh of relief.

“Why have you been hugging that bag ever since, like hugging a baby.” Gyu-Sik had been itching to ask this question.

“This bag contains four hundred trillion won over.” Yumi casually said the thing that sounded like a joke but actually it was a fact.

“Hahahaha.. Are you fantasizing about your novel?” 

“See by yourself.” Yumi thrust out the bag she had been holding since.

Gyu-Sik opened the black bag, it turned out to contain stock letters, ownership papers of buildings, houses, diamonds, gold, and other securities. 

Then there was a small bag containing two hundred million won.

"Haaaaah.." Gyu-Sik is shocked to see the contents of the bag.

"Who is Goo Jyeong?" Ask Gyu-Sik.

"First I want to apologize for covering something up from you. Actually I met a grandmother with a red tattoo on her forehead while visiting a nursing home. The grandmother was the owner of the famous HeoGoo electronic company. The owner of the bag."

"Waaaah, you met a rich man this time."

"He was very sick with diabetes, when I came with friends from X-Vel he was screaming for sweet cakes but the nurse forbade it.

But I gave it, the banana cake you made was also for Grandma Jyeong.

I went to the nursing home this morning but it turns out that Jyeong's grandmother was hospitalized, she's in a coma." Yumi crying.

"Why is this bag on you?" 

"He wrote me a letter asking me to take the bag from the sauna locker to give it to his son when he was dead."

"How much is his age?"

"Tomorrow is the day of his death." Yumi covered her face, she was crying.

Gyu-Sik pats Yumi on the back. She did not want to make a sound, the two just wanted to let Yumi cry until her heart was relieved.
