The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 21: Yumi wants to be a romantic novel writer??
Nine o'clock in the morning Seoul time.
The sun has started to make the cold temperatures in Seoul turn warm.
“Aaaah.. Why is it morning anyway?” Yumi wriggled her body until her blanket fell off the bed.
“He must have been a working number, right? So it's okay if I leave the room right?” Yumi finally came out of her room.
Yumi heads to the kitchen to get mineral water.
“It turns out he's still a concern too.” Yumi glanced at the hood of saji at her dining table.
Drrr…
Yumi's phone rang.
“Yeoboseyo.” Sapa Yumi's. *Yeoboseyo: Hello (greetings when calling)
“I thought you were still sleeping.” Kang Jae-Bom's soft voice sounded from Yumi's phone speaker.
“Enak only, I'm not as lazy as that yes.” Yumi opens the hood, apparently Gyu-Sik makes chicken soup with vegetables and omelet.
“Good.”
“You're already in the office?”
“Hmm.. being an office worker cannot be free yourself.”
“Then you just resign and become a writer like me, easy right?”
“Hahaha. great idea.”
Yumi laughed.
“I'll pay a visit to your home.”
“Hmm?? For what?”
“Why? Can't?”
“Emm. I'm the only one who came there.”
“Why? Your house must be a mess like always, right? Hehehe.” Jae-Bom has been to Yumi's house a few times so she knows how to overview Yumi's house.
Yumi circulated her gaze, she saw the state of her house that was now always neat because there was Gyu-Sik who always tidied it up.
“No, now my house is always tidy.”
“Hmm.. Did you learn to clean the house? You wanna get married? Hehehe.” Jae-Bom often jokes with Yumi.
Yumi looked at the red ruby ring on her finger.
“I am already married.”
“Hahahaha.. married to the main character of your novel, right?”
“There work first, I want to eat breakfast, see you later.”
“Hmm.. come anytime.”
“Oke.”
Their distance talk is final.
Yumi doesn't care yet to wash her face and brush her teeth, she just goes straight to devour the food Gyu-Sik made.
“Hmm... it's cold, did he go early in the morning?” Yumi ate an omelet that was already cold.
Yumi can only guess what really happened to Gyu-Sik, in her heart she prays that Gyu-Sik can open up to her.
...----------------...
Yumi exited the house at eleven in the afternoon, she walked towards the subway station.
Yumi passes by Jang's tavern, she pauses to see Gyu-Sik from afar. Gyu-Sik is busy serving food to customers.
“Lega tastes after seeing Gyu-Sik smile.” Unaware Yumi also joined in with a smile.
Satisfied at Gyu-Sik, Yumi continues her journey.
After walking for about three kilometers Yumi arrived at the underground station, there was no need to wait for the long train that Yumi was waiting for to arrive.
Yumi gets into the car, the passengers are not so crowded, she gets a seat. Yumi looked around, as usual the passengers did not greet each other, all busy with her cell phone, indifferent to each other.
Ten minutes later at the station to Yumi's destination, she had to walk again to the bus stop to once again board a public vehicle to reach the X-Vel building.
Yumi passes through the place where she first met Gyu-Sik, who,
‘Hahhh.. shit I can't stop thinking about it.’ Yumi cursed in her heart.
Yumi accelerated her footsteps until she reached the X-Vel building.
“Yumi eonni?”
Yumi looked over, though,
‘D*mn! Why meet him anyway? Hiiiih.’ Again Yumi cursed the heart but this time it was not Gyu-Sik who made him curse.
“Hai Cae-Rin, how are you?” Yumi uses a poker face style, pretending to be as friendly as possible to Cae-Rin.
“Well, do you also have a consultation schedule with the editor today?” Ask Cae-Rin.
“Hmm.. yes you can say so.” Yumi looks at Cae-Rin from toe to head, she so fancy!
Cae-Rin wears a peach-colored crop top one sholder, combined with high waist jeans. The high heels that make Cae-Rin height increase six centimeters to one hundred and seventy-four centimeters, the slim body silhouette of Cae-Rin looks clear, awesome!
TING!
As the elevator doors open, Cae-Rin enters the elevator ahead of Yumi. “Not coming in?” Ask Cae-Rin.
“Eoh. follow.” Yumi blank out for a moment.
Yumi looked at the reflection of her reflection and Yumi on the elevator wall, the way they dressed up was indeed one hundred and eighty degrees different. Yumi only wears plain white T-shirts and standard jeans. Dull sneakers, and plain black totebags. Cae-Rin and Yumi are like ducks and swans.
TING!
Yumi and Cae-Rin go down on the same floor, then head to the editor room and the person they want to meet is the same, Kang Jae-Bom.
“You guys made an agreement to come together?” Jae-Bom asks when he sees Cae-Rin and Yumi enter the editor room together.
“No, we met in the lobby.” Answer Cae-Rin.
“You go first, I'll wait in the library.” Yumi invites Cae-Rin to finish her business with Jae-Bom.
“You both entered my room.” But Jae-Bom asks Cae-Rin and Yumi to follow him into his private room.
Cae-Rin soon follows Jae-Bom as a magnet pulls him, Yumi reluctantly follows them.
“Please sit.” Pinta Jae-Bom's.
Cae-Rin and Yumi sit on the sofa, Jae-Bom sits on a chair facing them.
“How are you guys doing?” Jae-Bom opens the conversation with pleasantries.
“Good oppa, oppa itself how?” Cae-Rin as sweet in front of Jae-Bom.
Yumi doesn't understand how a woman can openly show interest in a man, sometimes Yumi is jealous of Cae-Rin because of that.
“Well, you're Yumi? How are you?” Ask Jae-Bom.
“Good.”
“But I feel there's something else from you lately.” Jae-bom said.
“Something else? What do you mean?”
“Later your writing was misspelled a lot and I was shocked when you inserted some romantic scenes in your horror novel.” Jae-Bom immediately acts as an editor.
“Sorry, I've been troubling you about misspellings. Emm. about the romantic scene, I just wanted to try it, and it turned out the reader's response was very good. Emm.. Is it too off the outline of my story?” During this time Yumi is famous for mystery, horror and adventure novels, she has absolutely no interest in writing romantic novels.
“It's okay, it's an editor's job like that, I'm just surprised because you're one of the writers who is always perfect in spelling. Regarding romantic scenes I think if only occasionally it does not matter if it is still included in the storyline.”
“Emm.. how about I start writing romantic novels?” Yumi's question is enough to make Jae-Bom and Cae-Rin shocked
“Ha?? You want to write a romantic novel??” Jae-Bombs.
“ANDWE!! Eonni.. You are famous as a cold-hearted female writer, your loyal readers are mostly men right? When do you want to write a romantic novel?” Cae-Rin is clearly opposed because romantic novels are her forte. *Andwe: can't / don't.
“Emm.. I think Cae-Rin has a point too, you are the top writer of the top category of men's novels, if suddenly writing a romantic novel seems to be a little off the mark. But if you are curious and want to try I will support you.” Jae-bom said.
“But oppa, the author of romantic novels has thousands, if I think it would be better if Yumi eonni stay on track.” Cae-Rin feels threatened because her position as a writer in X-Vel is still under Yumi. Cae-Rin is the author of a romantic online novel.
“If you can know what kind of romantic story you want to make?” Ask Jae-Bom to Yumi.
