The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 20: Two troubled hearts.
“Bae Kyung?” Gyu-Sik is a little surprised to see his fellow profession and housemate in the realm of nirvana suddenly appear.
"You're okay, right?” Bae Kyung sits next to Gyu-Sik.
Bae Kyung is a grim reaper who has been in the profession for one hundred and ninety years.
He was also a grim reaper who was once a human being cursed by a god to be an angel of death by mistake.
There are two types of angel of death, the first is the original angel of death which was created by the universe to be an angel of death.
The second is a grim reaper cursed by a god for a terrible mistake, they are cursed to become death angels to atone for sin before they can finally return to being human and live the rest of their lives, then die and be reincarnated.
Gyu-Sik and Bae-kyung are two of the many second types of angel of death.
(Please for the reader who is very religious to stay away because the concept of the angel of death here is just fiction, the results hit the author..!!Not to be related to a religion, so do not baper and judge the author of harassing religion or so, thx.!!)
“Yahh.. as you can see.” Gyu-Sik said as he sipped a canned beer.
“Aigo.. Even now he drinks beer cans.” Ejek Bae Kyung's.
“There is nothing as free as in nirvana. Working money is not enough to buy the wine we usually drink.” Said Gyu-Sik while looking up at the sky.
“Hahaha.. it is difficult to be human today, everything is expensive.”
“How is your duty? Smoothly?” Ask Gyu-Sik.
“As usual, I can also additional tasks several times overflow from tasks that you should have.”
“Hahh.. again because I am someone else so miserable.”
“Not really, you don't have to think about that. You just need to think about how that soul ball got back into your body.”
“Hahhh.. don't talk about it.”
“Why? What is the weight of impregnating a woman?”
“YAAAK!!!! Keep your talk.”
“Why are you shouting? Did I say wrong? No right? Indeed it is the only way to get the soul ball out of the woman's body, then you can go back to nirawana.”
“Huft.. don't know.”
“Quick solve this problem, quickly return to nirvana, return home. Our house is a mess and we always eat out now.” Bae Kyung's.
“Mean you and Ma-Ri should take turns arranging schedules for house cleaning and cooking. You guys are relying on me too much so now you guys are hard on your own right?”
“It's not me and Ma-Ri that's the problem, but you. You're the wrong place, not here."
Gyu-Sik knows very well what Bae-kyung means, but he is getting used to it and feels comfortable to be here, near Yumi.
"Ma-Ri watched you a few times, she told me that you seemed to like that soul-ball-carrying woman of yours. Really?” Bae Kyung is curious about this one.
GLUP..
Gyu-Sik gulps.
“So right??” Bae Kyung expects Gyu-Sik's answer to be 'no'.
“Once, I'm not sure either. Last night the timjangnim came to see me while Yumi and I were climbing a mountain.
He said the universe is against the love of two different races, but Yumi and I are nothing. Me and Yumi don't love each other.” Gyu-sik.
“Maybe he doesn't love you, but are you sure you don't love him? You're willing to work in a tavern to make money so as not to harm that woman, right? It's proof that you're paying attention to her, it could be because you're putting your heart on her. ” Bae Kyung's words really make sense, but Gyu-Sik doesn't really care about it.
“Hmm. Yes I did work so as not to burden Yumi, but that does not mean I love Yumi, you do not want to think like that.”
“That's sympathy, maybe soon you'll love her.” Bae Kyung said in a relaxed tone.
Gyu-Sik did not respond.
“I've come home first, soon I have to run errands. Take good care of yourself, me and Ma-Ri are waiting for you to come home.”
Baek Kyung disappears.
“I'd better go home.” Gyu-Sik finally walks home to Yumi.
...----------------...
“Why just got home?” Yumi apparently waits for Gyu-Sik on the porch of the house.
“Eoh? It's okay, I just had a beer in the park, you want?” Gyu-Sik thrusts a plastic bag containing three cans of beer.
“Something's bothering you?” Yumi asked, she looked worried.
“Nothing, just looking for a different atmosphere.”
“You are bored with my house huh?”
“No, not really. Just being tired of working.” Gyu-Sik tries to find a reasonable reason.
“Then why do you work? You're still tired from the mountain climbing trip. Sajangnim has given you permission for three days, right? That means you don't have to work today.”
“From being quiet at home can't money better I work.”
“Hmm. yes already there shower, eat then rest.” Actually Yumi still wants to debate Gyu-Sik but she feels Gyu-Sik is not wanting to be disturbed.
“You've eaten?” Ask Gyu-Sik.
“Already, I ordered food. I also bought you one serving.”
“Then I take a shower first.” Gyu-Sik walks into the house.
“So weird? Looks like she's hiding something from me.” Yumi feels Gyu-Sik's furious aura, but she has no chance of guessing it.
...----------------...
Since feeling Gyu-Sik needs space for himself Yumi chooses to write a novel in her room, she does not want to make Gyu-Sik feel uncomfortable.
“Hahh.. How is my brain dead end, I cannot continue my writing. Huft.” Yumi took off her glasses, she got off the bed and headed to the door.
Yumi put her ear on the door. “No television noise, has he slept?” Yumi wonders what Gyu-Sik is doing.
“Do I go out to see? Hahh.. no.. no..” Yumi went back to her bed, she was upset.
“Huft... What is it exactly?”
That night Yumi cannot sleep because she is curious about Gyu-Sik.
Usually if Yumi can't sleep she uses her uptime to write a novel, but this time the imaginary staff in her brain is on strike working.
The same thing happened to Gyu-Sik, he couldn't sleep, his body felt tired but his eyes couldn't work together.
Gyu-Sik sat on the long chair on the terrace, he looked up at the star-studded sky, his mind drifting somewhere.
His heart that had long felt dysfunctional now seemed to run like a new machine.
Gyu-Sik dissolves with his thoughts so much that he does not feel sleep in the long chair until the morning
“Brrrr.. cold once.” Gyu-Sik wakes up, his body feels stiff from the cold.
Gyu-Sik walks into the house, still at five in the morning. Gyu-Sik chooses to make breakfast for Yumi.
Today Gyu-Sik is planning to leave for work early, he still does not want to meet Yumi for fear of facing questions from Yumi.
Gyu-Sik is afraid of not being able to cover up the turmoil of his heart, every time he sees Yumi's face, especially his eyes, his heart feels beating faster.
Yumi's eyes reminded her of someone in her past, for some reason it could happen.
