The Marrying The Grim Reaper
Chapter 08: Getting Married!

Yumi exited the room while carrying two midi dresses.

"Which is better?" Yumi shows a plain white midi dress with lace decorations and a pink midi dress with floral motifs to Gyu-Sik.

"All good." Answer Gyu-Sik briefly.

"Hiih. The basic man is asked to answer one but instead that's the answer." Yumi was upset, men are so.

"Why do we have to be dizzy choosing clothes anyway, we are only married lies."

"But we're going into the temple."

"You wear white." Gyu-Sik answered haphazardly.

"Hmm. okay. You wanna wear that?" Yumi pointed at Gyu-Sik.

Gyu-Sik wears her black cloth pants, and Yumi's light blue t-shirt.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Hmm. It looks like we should buy clothes for you." 

"As far as you go." Gyu-Sik is still watching television.

"OK I'll get ready." Yumi went into the room.

"Hmmm.."

After twenty minutes of dressing up Yumi and Gyu-Sik finally get out of the house. They stopped by a men's clothing store.

Yumi chooses some clothes for Gyu-Sik.

"You want to buy that much??" Ask Gyu-Sik.

Yumi nodded, "Not much, just three shirts, three t-shirts, one pair of jeans, one cloth pants, three training pants, and some underwear."

"Do you have money?" 

"Waaaah.so you think I don't have any money? Should I see my bank account balance?"

"No, then let's hurry up for the afternoon."

Yumi pays at the cashier, while Gyu-Sik changes clothes.

After they finished they went towards the white mountain temple.

"Why so many?" Yumu's whole life had only twice entered the temple.

"Not really, it's usually like this, right?"

"Where do I know, I'm not a religious person. I don't pray in temples, churches or other places of worship." Answer Yumi.

"Oh, that's it."

Gyu-Sik spread his gaze.

"Han Gyu-Sik." Someone shouted Gyu-Sik's name.

"That's it, let's go." Bring Gyu-Sik.

Gyu-Sik pays his respects to the god of romance disguised as the head monk in this temple.

"Look at you, what a complicated destiny." The god of asmara.

"A complicated destiny?" Gyu-Sik repeats the statement of the god of romance.

"No, no, don't think about it. So you guys came to get married, right? So you can get this red ruby ring?" The god of romance presented a ring box containing two rings made of red rubies.

"Waaah.that's beautiful." Yumi likes the ring, her unique model really looks beautiful.

"Then say your promise." The god of asmara.

"Promise??" Yumi and Gyu-Sik together.

"Yes, make a promise that you can keep. Don't make grandiose promises, because if you break them, the red ruby ring will self-destruct." The god of romance.

"What promise should we make?" Ask Yumi to Gyu-Sik.

"I'm also confused as to what to make a promise." 

"What if you promise you'll make me a meal every day?" Ask Yumi.

"Wahhh, that's cheating, I'm the hard one." Gyu-Sik doesn't accept.

"Then what dong?" 

"What if you promised to trust each other?" The god of romance proposes an idea.

"Emm. Well, it's not as hard as it is." Gyu-sik.

"Do you believe me?" Ask Yumi.

"Emm. can be worked on."

"But I'm not sure I can trust you."

"You came here willingly, it already signifies that you trust each other. I don't think it's gonna be hard if you make a promise to trust each other." 

Yumi and Gyu-Sik stared at each other.

"Hows it? You want?" Ask Gyu-Sik.

"Well then, say your promise."

"We promise to trust each other." Yumi and Gyu-Sik.

"Uww.even you guys turned out to be very compact." 

Yumi and Gyu-Sij stare at each other for a moment and they are both misbehaving.

"This is your ring, put it on. Hope this ring helps you Yumi." The god of asmara.

"Thank you." Yumi received the red ruby ring, then put it on the ring finger of her right hand. "It's so pretty."

"Thank you god."

"Brothers, congratulate the two newlyweds." Suddenly the god of romance screams to make the temple visitors cheer on Yumi and Gyu-Sik.

"God..why do you have to scream so?" Gyu-Sik whispers to the god of romance.

"You can go home, I have a lot of work." The god of romance leaves Yumi and Gyu-Sik.

Yumi is busy replying to the congratulations from the temple visitors.

"Let's go." Gyu-Sik pulls Yumi's hand and invites her out of the temple area.

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

Yumi and Gyu-Sik wait for the bus at the stop.

"How about we celebrate our wedding?" Said Yumi.

"Worthy?" 

"Yes, we go to the manhwabang, we read the comic as much as we eat there." Said Yumi.

*Mahwabang\=comic room/comic rental place, such as cafe, many food and drinks are sold in that place.

"May also."

"okay."

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

After spending four hours at the manhwabang, Yumi and Gyu-Sik return home.

"I'm crazy.I really like that place." Gyu-Sik is still amazed by the manhwabang.

"Of course, I love that place too. I spent a lot of time there, in addition to making, I can also get inspiration from the comics I read."

Yumi and Gyu-Sik just got off the bus, they walked towards the house.

"Lee Yumi." Shouted someone.

Yumi and Gyu-Sik looked over. Jang Ju-Hwi, a fifty-year-old fruit and vegetable shop owner, is known as the ringleader of gossip at the complex.

Yumi salutes, followed by Gyu-Sik.

"Maow." Ju-Hwi offers a plastic bag containing raw vegetables.

*Chukahae: Congratulations.

"Congratulations to what??" Yumi's confused.

"I saw you guys this afternoon at the white mountain temple. You are a perfect couple, it doesn't matter if you only have a very simple marriage. Your love is the main thing in a wedding, not a fancy reception, right?" Ju-Hwi looks excited.

"So aunt knows??" Yumi surprised.

"Of course, my husband and I regularly came to the temple to pray." Ju-hwi.

Yumi can't do anything about it, denying it will look strange because Ju-Hwi said she saw them this afternoon at the temple. But assuring is also not a choice that feels right.

"Thank you aunt, we got the vegetables. We're a little tired today, we want to go home soon." Gyu-Sik receives a plastic bag from Ju-Hwi.

"Ups.sorry I don't know myself, holding the newlyweds for too long. Go home, enjoy your night beautifully." Ju-Hwi casts a mischievous look.

Yumi breathed an annoyed breath.

"Thank you aunt, we're home." Gyu-Sik pulls Yumi out of this uncomfortable situation quickly.

"Securely congratulations on your marriage." Ju-Hwi yells because Yumi and Gyu-Sik have already walked away.

"Based on a crazy woman, not only did she use a loudspeaker to make it sound clearly a complex!" Yumi's upset.

"How else, he saw the incident."

"It's all god's fault, why did he have to chant our marriage." 

Yumi and Gyu-Sik climb the stairs to get to Yumi's house.

Yumi's house is a rooftop house, she rents a house upstairs with a courtyard decorated with potted plants, a place to hang clothes and a wide bench to enjoy the night view.

"Dad?" Yumi is shocked that her father has been waiting for her at home.

"You married?" Ask Yumi's dad.

To be continued ...

*the house of Yumi.
