The reaper smacked his lips.

    There was silence.

    I''ve already had a taste of the ecstasy, so the agony wasn''t too long.

    "According to the list. Hwang''s grandfather should have died two days ago. The cause of death is solitude."

    "Lonely death?"

    "You have no family to take care of, and you rarely eat. You live alone in a semi-basement room. And there''s a lot of cancer in the body."

    -What do you mean... I can''t believe it.

    "My grandmother, who went first, had cancer. It''s the same thing with grandpa.”

    "I knew you looked a little depressed. Honestly, it''s hard to believe. You came here to eat healthy, you died of cancer?”

    "Didn''t your grandfather come to restaurants a lot these days?"

    "That''s... that''s right."

    In the first place, Hwang''s grandfather was the first customer to come when Haru was in the U.S. and Yumi was looking at a restaurant.

    Come to think of it, Yumi once said this to Haru.

    Hwang''s grandfather used to come every 2 or 3 days.

    These days, I''m thinking about watching it once a week.

    I thought it was simply because you were tired of looking for another restaurant. It was because of health.

    "I''ve been a little sick since the beginning, about a month ago. Your only son didn''t come to your grandmother''s birthday. So I had a fight with my grandfather and son, and at that time...….”

    Son of a b*tc* made a mistake.

    "You must have said something harsh. He just, uh, let go of everything. So, of course, the condition is much deeper."

    "So you were destined to go back?"

    "I wish you weren''t here."

    - I knew there would be a story. It''s not common for an elderly person to come to eat alone like this. By the way, when I hear what you''re saying.

    "Mr. Hwang''s grandfather. So you didn''t end up simply dying."

    "Really, you''re faster than most envoys. You two."

    In the meantime, you''ve been kind and gentle.

    The reaper, who was acting like that, smiled.

    He shook his head a few times and sighed with his chin on his back.

    One day I felt his mood had changed a little.

    But I didn''t care, I asked more confidently.

    "You''ve had a deep sorrow, haven''t you? If you died, you would have become a ghost. Hwang''s grandfather."

    "Would I have come if it had only been that long?”

    Watch your language, huh?

    "What can I do if it''s not wrong? Do you know how many people around the world die a day? Any of them? It''s not that special to be a ghost with one heart. Chef Haru knows the best."

    It was wrong, it wasn''t.

    Indeed, it was irrefutable.

    Because it''s just one day. It was a day when I saw a lot of ghosts like that.

    There was only one thing that came to mind if it was worse.

    Furthermore, even more so now that I know my grandfather''s story a little bit through the reaper.

    "If so, by any chance.

    "Tell me. Now that it''s come to this."

    "It''s not over from my grandfather, it''s over from my grandfather to sin. Is that so?”

    Hwang''s grandfather said he had a fight with his son.

    The son even said he didn''t come to his mother''s anniversary, leaving his old father in his cottage.

    -You said you didn''t do as much wrong as wrongdoing.

    "Hwang''s grandfather was very lucky when he ended up becoming a ghost, and after he died...….”

    "You don''t have to tell me. Because I understand."

    One day, the grim reaper told me drunk.There are more evil deeds than good deeds, and the weight of evil deeds is too great to be relieved by being haunted and wandering around.

    What punishment people who are taken to hell.

    She said she was drunk and didn''t tell her 10% of the whole hell, but Haru and Yumi listening were barely able to stay sane.

    I''d rather be glad if it''s as far as people can imagine.

    But the things that the grim reaper told me were really...…. It''s not enough to say that it''

    "I really hoped it wouldn''t just be like this.”

    The situation was worse than I thought.

    No, it might not be enough to say serious.

    Hey, so now. The kings in charge of the underworld of Korea and the United States. You''re testing the day, is that what it is?

    "If the beings of the two countries are not holding hands, there is no way to save a human being who should have done it. That''s ridiculous, isn''t it?”

    "You''re saying you believe me?”

    "It''s a little different. The Korean side. So, the King of the Underworld should trust Chef Haru. Hela, who is on our side, is just watching.”

    Hello.

    It was a name I''ve heard before.

    I''m sure it''s from the myth. You said you were the god of death and the underworld.

    Not only the underworld, but such a huge being was watching the day.

    It was only then that it was clear.

    I don''t know how heavy this is. In the hands of a day, and in his ability.

    There are so many things on the line that I can''t even imagine.

    I felt for sure. I felt like I was going to fall off because my shoulders were heavy.

    Are the beings of the underworld always this extreme? Yes?

    "I don''t know. How can a beauty like us know what they mean?"

    "No, you don''t have to know that. The meaning. I don''t need to know."

    However, it lasted one day.

    Stand up firmly with your two feet, straighten your back.

    I don''t just turn it over as if it''s nothing, but accept the weight.

    So above all, I was able to speak up.

    "Thank you for letting me know. Thanks to you, I got to know about Hwang''s grandfather. I know what I have to do."

    "You''re confident, aren''t you?

    "I''m not confident. Instead, as it always has always been. I''m just trying my best."

    Reaper blinked a little surprised at the attitude of the day.

    The day I answered that turned my head and looked at the clock.

    Checking it was almost time for work, I put on my jacket without any hesitation.

    "Promise is a promise. Take the rest of the pie."

    "Thank you. Are you going straight to the store?”

    "You can''t keep your guests waiting."

    That one word back, banging the front door shut.

    Choi Han-seok was a bit dumbfounded and could not keep up with such a day.

    After a brief silence, the reaper and his eyes met.

    "Well, I should probably get going, too. By the way, the pie was really good. He''s really good at cooking.”

    Hold on. I have a question.

    "I told you before. You''re not supposed to tell me all of this. If Hella finds out, I''ll be wiped out."

    Don''t talk nonsense and listen carefully. I''ve been wondering about this for a while...…. Why is it Hwang''s grandfather?

    "You''re sharp."

    It''s only a day apart from me. I do look at the same place, but the way to walk is a little different.

    As if to ignore Choi Han-seok''s question, the reaper, who did not turn his head, soon stopped.Unlike a day, he looked into Choi Han-seok''s eyes.

    Then he spoke in a slightly mischievous tone.

    "You could be struck by lightning. Don''t you think so?"

    - What a fat...….

    "Literally, it''s a coincidence. And coincidence is the law of the universe that even the beings of the underworld can''t do anything about it. Well, that''s enough."

    The Reaper, who said so, picked up a paper box wrapped in the remaining pie, and jumped out of the window.

    Come to think of it, Haru''s house was five stories above ground.

    It may have made no sense to touch the pie outside the window in the first place.

    Wait a minute. Hey, dude!

    Choi Han-seok ran quickly, but it was already late.

    Outside the window, the sun was just rising, and there was not a trace of the reaper.

    It just disappeared. Like a grim reaper who comes and goes like the wind.

    Is it similar to what businessmen do in any country to get married in any country?

    Choi Han-seok sat on the table with his hands on his head, perhaps dizzy.

    Then he murmured quietly, looking at the direction of the market where the day is now.

    -Really... -Is the time for what the underworld said?

    I''ve never felt so complicated since I met you for the first time.

    There''s nothing better than a teacher.

    Come to think of it, it really was.

    The disciple overcame the heavy weight in an instant, straightening his back.

    The teacher himself was unable to do so.

    Even lighter than a day, his shoulders creaked and didn''t move.

    Choi Han-seok''s sigh increased.

    The sun was rising in Korea again today.

    * * *

    "……Really?"

    "Why would I lie to you?"

    "No way. It''s not like you''re playing with people''

    Squeeze.

    Yumi, who heard the whole situation from Haru, clenched her tea fist in anger.

    As always, they met in front of the restaurant and headed for the market, but today they didn''t seem to be able to get away easily.

    Especially Yumi who suddenly heard this without any notice.

    She huffed angrily, then suddenly stopped.

    "By the way..."

    "It''s ambiguous, isn''t it?"

    "I know, really. "At first, I was so angry that I couldn''t help but play with my life."

    On a little hard thinking, and if it wasn''t, it wasn''t.

    If there is an extreme of irony, is this what it is?

    "In a way, the beings of the underworld of the two countries are gathering to give Hwang and his son a chance."

    "Yes, even prolonging life."

    What if the two beings didn''t touch his life?

    Perhaps with a very high probability, Hwang''s grandfather met the future that the Ripper said.

    Not only did you close your eyes alone in a cold small room with no one, but you may have become a ghost and come to the restaurant of the day, forgetting all those memories.

    Moreover, his son, whom he loved so much that his grandfather kept in touch with him until the end.

    He''d have to suffer much more than his father in any way.

    It''s grim to the end, and in a way it''s really devastating. It''s like hell.

    But…… because of the relationship with Haru, they were given unintended opportunity.

    "Maybe they''re not just bad people."

    "As we felt when we first met the Lord of the Underworld.""That''s right, as Haru said."

    Press it down.

    I felt something hot in my right hand.

    A lively pulsating energy.

    Yumi held Haru''s hand tightly. Without even noticing.

    Her expression, which had just been gloomy, brightened up.

    The cheeks of the embarrassed day turned red.

    "I don''t know!"

    "Huh?"

    "I have to go grocery shopping. You never know when he''s coming! And who knows? I wonder if the Lord of the Underworld and Hela are watching behind us."

    "That''s true. Yumi?"

    "Why, don''t you want to hold hands with me?"

    Yumi with a flushed face just like Haru.

    Haru, who hesitated for a while, replied.

    "No way. Let''s go grocery shopping. We have to cook."

    "Yes, sir, to the headquarters!"
