The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 32: The Life of Gyu-Sik and Yeo Seol (2)
“Yeo Seol.. Why haven't you answered my love statement?” Ask Gyu-Sik.
Yeo Seol. “Emm.. indeed if I don't answer you're not you're friends with me anymore?”
“Not really, you are my only friend.”
Yeo Seol smiled. “Emm.. tomorrow night at the rainbow market will be held a lantern exhibition, will you go there?” Yeo Seol knew that Gyu-Sik would definitely not want to go to such a crowded place.
“No.”
“I'll answer your question there, so make sure you're at the west market door after sinking.” Yeo Seol leaves Gyu-Sik's room.
Yeo Seol goes to the medicine room looking for the father but there is none. Another doctor told her that her father was in the royal medicine garden. Yeo Seol follows her father.
“Dad still taking care of medicinal plants?” Ask Yeo Seol as she enters the garden, where all the herbs are used for treatment.
“Hmm... done, you're done treating Gyu-Sik?” Ask Yeo Goo.
“Already.”
“This blue orchid grows very well, this plant is a treasure for the king.” Yeo Goo stood in front of thousands of blue anggerk flowers.
“King gets a lot of gold from selling this orchid to other kingdoms.” Yeo Goo continued.
“Not that plant that can cure skin diseases that are plaguing many fathers?”
“Hmm.. You were right, but father could not persuade the king to give this plant to his people.”
“He is indeed a cruel king.”
“Hushh.. You can't say that in the palace.” Yeo Goo hit the child's arm slowly.
“But it is true, right? Just look out there a lot of his people are sick, the king has the cure but he only thinks about himself. He sells for the sake of enriching himself.” Yeo Seol was one of the many people who hated their greedy king.
“Already.. let's go home.” Yeo Goo invites Yeo Seol to go home.

Gut day.
The sun has sunk, Gyu-Sik is already in front of the west door of the rainbow market. He was looking for Yeo Seol. The market atmosphere is very crowded, because the lantern exhibition is a free entertainment event for all residents.
“Search?” Yeo Seol pats Gyu-Sik on the back.
Gyu-Sik. “You're late.”
“Not really, you're coming too soon. Emm.. open your head, just interrupt.” Yeo Seol pulls the caping with a thin curtain that Gyu-Sik wears to cover his face.
“Yeah! Yeo Seol don't.” Gyu-Sik tries to snatch the caping but fails, Yeo Seol throws it away.
“Out of the palace no one knows you, so lift your head Han Gyu-Sik and let's enjoy the beauty of the lantern tonight.” Yeo Seol pulls Gyu-Sik's hand and enters the market.
At first Gyu-Sik feels uncomfortable because he never went to a crowded place like this, but Yeo Seol managed to make him enjoy the night.
“Yeo Seol said you want to answer my love statement.” Gyu-Sik pulls Yeo Seol's hand suddenly.
“You are impatient, hmm. well I will answer. I like you too, so let's have a relationship. Already right? Let's go again, we're not east yet, come on.” Yeo Seol said the thing that Gyu-sik had been waiting for so casually.
Gyu-Sik feels his heart is filled with blooming flowers. Yeo Seol was the only person who could make her this happy.
“Yeo Seol is late, let me take you home.”
“Hahh.. why time goes so fast.” Yeo Seol looked glum.
“We can take another walk next time, now you have to go home, healer Yeo will definitely look for you.” Gyu-Sik persuades Yeo Seol.
“Appointment yes? Next time we go for a walk again?”
Gyu-Sik nodded.
Gyu-Sik takes Yeo Seol home.
“You don't want to enter first?” Yeo Seol asked as they were in front of her house.
“No, come in.”
“Hmm.. You be careful yes.” Yeo Seol walked into the house.
Yeo Goo was waiting for Yeo Seol in the living room.
“Don't get too close to Gyu-Sik.” Yeo Goo said with a tone of datra.
“Emm.. but dad he's actually good.”
“It's just that he's a killer, you're not afraid?”
“But he kills not by his own will, he kills by being ruled by the king. Because of his loyalty to the king he did all the king's orders, just like father.”
THE PLAQUE! A slap landed on Yeo Seol's cheek.
“You equated dad with a killer??”
“Ma.af dad.” Yeo Seol regretted her words earlier.
“Log into your room now!” Yeo Goo was furious at her daughter.
Yeo Seol walks into her room, she cries silently, she knows that her father is worried about her but she also knows that Gyu-sik will not hurt her.
She feels happy when with Gyu-Sik, she can't control her heart, but she can't make her father bless their relationship because indeed the fact that Gyu-Sik is a murderer cannot be ignored.
