The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 25: Yumi's Birthday.
Two days passed..
The situation is still the same, Gyu-Sik still has not returned to Yumi's house. Every day Ju-Hwi still sends side dishes to eat Yumi.
Drrrt. dddrt..
The sound of the phone alarm woke Yumi up. Without opening Yumi's eyes, the alarm was turned off.
Drrrt. ddddrt..
"Who the hell is this early in the morning?" Yumi opened the blindfold and looked at her phone screen. Yumi looks at the name on her phone screen.
'Editor Kang Jae - Bomb'
"Hello.. Why call so early in the morning? Hoaaa.." Yumi is still lazy to wake up she calls while sleeping.
"Saengil chughahae Lee Yumi." Jae-Bom's voice sounds cheerful to congratulate Yumi on her birthday.
Yumi looked at the calendar sitting on her nightstand.
"Oh. Yes today is my birthday, hehe.. Thanks for reminding me."
"I've made a reminder a week before so I definitely remember."
"Waaaah.loyal this one editor."
"Emm.. Tonight you have an event?" Ask Jae-Bom.
"No, why?"
"Then I'll drop by your house after I get home from the office."
"Okay, then I'll buy some meat and beer for tonight."
"Hmmm.buy that much huh, haha." Jae-Bom laughs.
"Just calm my salary from X-Vel a lot, hehe."
Tok..
"Package.excuse me." The sound of someone knocking on Yumi's door.
"Jae-Bom sorry I had to open the door it looks like a package is coming, but I don't feel like buying anything." Yumi got out of bed.
"Maybe it's a gift from me."
"What??"
Krekka..
"Excuse me we'd like to send this to Lee Yumi." Said the freight forwarder.
"I'm Lee Yumi."
"Then sign here."
Yumi signed the road letter.
"Then we'll excuse you."
"Thank you."
The freight forwarder left.
"Yeah! Kang Jae-Bom is the chair you want to buy? Why was sent here?" Yumi and Jae-Bom still haven't ended the talks.
"There's just one free buy one promo."
"Liar, I know exactly where you bought this. I was after this chair, but I was waiting for a discount."
"Good means my gift will be of use to you."
"So this is a gift for me??"
"Yes Lee Yumi."
"Best Kang Jae-Boooooom, imaksih. May you live a long, healthy life always and a lot of money, haha.." Yumi is thrilled to receive a gift of folding floor chairs that she has long been looking for.
"I should pray for you."
"No. no. I don't need to pray, this chair is more than enough, hehe."
"Yes, I'm ready to go to the office, happy birthday Lee Yumi again."
"Thank you again, Kang Jae-Bom."
Yumi and Jae-Bom end their long-distance conversation.
"Waaaah, this chair is so cool." Yumi carried the chair into the house.
Yumi is thrilled to get her dream seat gift from Jae-Bom.
That day the gift chair from Jae-Bom made him forget for a moment the turmoil of his heart.
Because her mood was good, Yumi could write smoothly all day, the story idea flowed like a flash flood.
That's how Yumi is, her mood greatly influences her writing.
Not feeling that the day had begun to afternoon, Yumi remembered not buying meat and other equipment to welcome Jae-Bom.
"Aaaaah, it's a long time ago, I have to go to the minimarket first." Yumi finished writing her novel and went to the minimarket to shop.
After finishing shopping, Yumi prepares a furnace and others in a large chair on her porch because Jae-Bom has told her that he has returned from the office and will soon be heading to Yumi's house.
After returning home from the office Jae-Bom took the time to buy a small tart cake for Yumi.
"Well.I forgot not to buy a match, how is this?" Jae-Bom turns off his car engine tept in front of Ju-Hwi's shop.
"I'll try to buy it in this store, who knows." Jae-Bom gets out of the car and goes into Ju-Hwi's shop.
"Excuse me aunt, did you sell matches?' Jae-Bom asked politely.
" Oh.no, but I have, wait a minute." Ju-Hwi picks up a match in the kitchen.
"It's just wear it."
"Wahh, thank you so much bi." Jae-Bom lights a candle.
Ju-Hwi looks at the tart that Jae-Bom brought.
"This cake is for Yumi? Lee Yumi who lives upstairs?" Ask Ju-Hwi.
"Yes, auntie knows him?"
"Of course, we're very familiar, but I didn't know that he had a birthday today. If I knew I'd make him some seaweed soup." *Seagrass soup is usually eaten by someone while on a birthday (south Korean culture).
Jae-Bom smiled.
"Emmm. but, if I suggest you better not stay at Yumi's house for long." Ju-hwi.
"Hmm? Why is bi? Is Yumi sick?"
"Not, but. she was with her husband, until he stayed at the motel."
"What??? Husband?? Emm. sorry bi Lee Yumi we're talking about seems a different person." Jae-Bom doesn't believe it.
"No, there's only one Lee Yumi in this area, Lee Yumi who likes to write novels right?"
"Emm. yeah, I happen to be the editor from where Yumi wrote."
"Aaa.so it's just a friendship cake, isn't it?"
"Emmm.." Jae-Bom still doesn't understand Ju-Hwi's talk.
"So I beg you not to make Yumi look like a cheap woman. What would happen if people here knew that Yumi was alone with another man when her husband wasn't home?"
Jae-Bom frowned.
"But Yumi belun nenikah bi."
'Ups.don't-don't Yumi is hiding her marriage. Then I'm wrong to talk dong?' Ju-hwi.
"Emm, yeah, please." Ju-Hwi banishes Jae-Bom subtly.
"Thank you bi, then excuse me." Jae-Bom comes out of Ju-Hwi's shop.
"Great, I have to rush to report to Gyu-Sik." Ju-Hwi feels itchy, she does like taking care of others.
...----------------...
Jae-Bom walks while blocking the wind around the fire on the candle.
"His husband? Huh.joking isn't funny. How can parents make rumors about the status of others? Ckckck.Saha Yumi's boyfriend doesn't have a husband." Jae-Bom climbs the stairs to get to Yumi's house.
"Well.have you been waiting for me apparently?" Jae-Bom sees Yumi enjoying a beer.
"Waah.you brought all the tarts, hehe.. You're the only one who's ever given me a cake and a birthday present to know, look for it." A happy aura emanated on Yumi's face.
"Then blow out the candles first, don't forget to pray, make a wish first." Pinta Jae-Bom's.
"No, I don't have any desires."
"Just pray in your heart." Pinta Jae-Bom's.
"All right."
Yumi closed her eyes and prayed in her heart.
'Return Gyu-Sik to me.'
That's Yumi's prayer.
Huff..
Yumi blew out the candles.
"Yuhuu.welcome to know Lee Yumi." Gyu-Sik hands the cake to Yumi.
"Imacute."
"Oiya earlier when I borrowed a match in the store below, the aunt selling was talking about something that didn't make sense." Jae-Bom sits on a chair following Yumi.
"What's that?"
"Say you've got a husband.".
Yumi was silent for a moment.
