Much has always happened in the world, but it hasn''t changed much.

    Like the causality that Yeomra said, there are many absolute values, and time is one of them.

    Choi Han-seok, who was already dead, is now completely gone.

    He was a grim reaper with no body left, but he disappeared with Choi Han-seok.

    I didn''t even say hello properly. There were a lot of things I wanted to say to the grim reaper, and I wanted to ask him.

    It just disappeared like that.

    I knew it when it disappeared. I was sad, and I felt like I had a hole in my chest.

    It was a day I never had a family, but now I realize. Choi Han-seok and the grim reaper were my family.

    I felt both the joy of getting a family and the sadness of losing it, and in the meantime, the restaurant went well.

    The opening is near, and days of breathtaking busyness continue.

    Time flew by so fast.

    * * *

    Choi Han-seok was a saint. My teacher went to a good place.

    The person who made me who I am now, who was like my father, has gone. Leave me alone.

    One day I thought. I''m pretty sure I know when it''s gone.

    "……I miss you. Honestly, I didn''t think so. Since you''re really going like this. I miss you so much. Master."

    Outside of Seoul. Surrounded by trees that he liked in his lifetime. Behind him, it flows down to a small stream.

    Such a tranquil, airy charnel house under the mountains.

    One day, he and Yumi visited the charnel house where Choi Han-seok''s remains were buried.

    It was only the 100th day since Choi Han-seok became a saint, and it was also the one-month anniversary of the opening of restaurant JYP BOB.

    Restaurant home-cooked meals were successfully opened.

    It began accepting a month''s worth of reservations 15 days before the opening, and all the slots were full in two days.

    There were many reasons.

    A famous chef.

    Adam, who appeared on several TV programs, chewed up chefs from all over the world, won the competition, and even came out as a judge to show enormous charisma, participated in consulting.….

    The words "Haru" are full of modifiers.

    And people are crazy about them.

    Of course, Haru wasn''t insecure about his cooking.

    Sincerely, I was so confident that I couldn''t make a better dish with this price, so what more do I need to say?

    But, nevertheless. There was something that I felt over and over again.

    Like there''s a big hole in the heart. It felt like something that couldn''t be filled with words was eating away at itself.

    "Haru, here you are. Here we go. Chef Joohyuk gave us drinks and soup we made last time.

    "Oh, thank you. I''ll set it up. Can you get me the scent?"

    "I was already getting ready.”

    Yumi took some food and alcohol out of the thermos.

    Traditional liquor made by Park Joo-hyuk in the oral fairy tale, and beef bone soup carefully cooked at a restaurant.

    Just in case, I also brought some vegetables and rice that the grim reaper said he liked.

    I thought about taking chicken feet with me for a while, but Yumi said it wasn''t right, so I took them out.

    The scent began to rise in front of the table, where a simple table was set, with the sound of a whistle and a lighter.

    Behind the whitish smoke, Choi Han-seok''s picture of him smiling broadly appeared blurry.

    "You have to be silent."

    "Yes."

    The grim reaper has no grave, nothing left.

    But suddenly, I thought Soon-geol would be with Choi wherever he went.

    Choi Han-seok was like a day without a family.

    If Haru got a family called Choi Han-seok and Yumi, Choi Han-seok got a family called Haru and Soon-geol.The family doesn''t split up. We may be apart for a while, but we will eventually meet.

    If everyone believes each other is a family.

    “…….”

    I held my hands neatly and bowed my head. In front of Choi Hanseok''s portrait.

    Haru and Yumi thought a lot during a brief 30-second silent tribute.

    Suddenly, a giggling voice came from the side. Yumi was desperately holding back her tears.

    "Are you all right?"

    "It''s nothing. It''s just, I thought I''d get it together now. It''s like this again when I stand like this...…. Really……."

    "Come here, it''s all right."

    Haru hugged Yumi tightly. Until she stops crying.

    It didn''t take long. The two soon left the charnel house.

    On the way back by car. Yumi asked suddenly.

    "Chef Choi Han-seok..."…. What are you doing now?”

    "I don''t know. You could be living with the grim reaper, eating a lot of delicious things, or meeting people you missed?”

    "Anyway, you must be living happily ever after."

    "Sort of. Why? Didn''t the Lord of the Underworld affirm that? Don''t worry. You said whatever we imagined, we''d be well off until we wanted more than that."

    "Right, right. I''m relieved that Haru said that. Definitely."

    Saying so, the two held hands tightly.

    On the side of the car, there was a picture of two people together, just before the restaurant opened.

    It was taken at the eve party where senior chefs of oral fairy tales were gathered.

    A lot has happened since Choi Han-seok left.

    Haru and Yumi decided to go out, so they started dating, and now they got a new house and joined together. They started living together.

    Of course, Yumi went to heaven for a meal, and she went to work with a restaurant''s home-cooked meal.

    We bought the same ingredients at the market, and we usually came back to the same house after work.

    The time between the two might not have changed much in a way.

    Ye-young was very sulky about why she''s dating now, but anyway.

    "Are you going home right away?”

    "Oh, I''d love to. I think I''ll have to go to the restaurant for a while today. I have a few appointments with the ghosts."

    "The ghost of the lady who came the day before yesterday?"

    "Yes, yes. I thought you might be able to make it today. I''ll send it to you."

    "Let''s go together. I don''t have much to do on my day off. Isn''t it nice to cook with Haru after a long time? Don''t that right?"

    It was a day to drop Yumi off at home, but it was hard to refuse when she asked with such a smile.

    Especially when it comes to cooking.

    I turned to the restaurant and prepared dishes for ghost guests in time for the door to open at midnight.

    A bowl of spicy kimchi stew filled with pork was served to a lady, and the lady, who had finished a spicy meal with soju, was ready for the holy fire with a light heart.

    Han wasn''t the one who was extremely twisted.

    More than 80% of ghost customers who come to the restaurant attracted by the lanterns of the house''s precious light were easily successful just by serving a bowl of food they liked in their lifetime.

    And one thing here. Maybe there was something that changed the most.

    Squeak--!

    The door of the restaurant''s home-cooked meal opened with a little chilling sound, and beyond that, one familiar face was pushed.

    In the past, the grim reaper would have done it, but not now.She was married to Choi Han-seok, so of course the person who worked also changed. The day I was waiting for greeted him kindly.

    "You''re a little late today."

    "I know. Maybe it''s because it''s been a while, or maybe it''s because there are more people dying. I wonder if this is what it means to be busy without breathing. If I had known this would happen, I should have increased my net salary earlier, right?"

    He used to be the king of the underworld and the existence of the universe.But now that the Grim Reaper is holy and doing it for a while, well. In a way, he''s just a nice regular customer, but he''s underwater.

    Although the grim reaper was said to have been holy, her job of guiding the dead was necessary, so Yeomra was taking over the work until the next grim reaper was saved.

    Although Yeomra always wore unusual clothes such as hanbok and Chinese yellow clothes mixed in half, she wore a suit that was unusually similar to her when replacing the work of the grim reaper.

    A black, tidy suit that covers the whole body.

    Maybe it''s the same as her caring heart for the dead.

    "I''ve said this before, but I think the clothes look really good on you. Don''t you think so?"

    "Well, as Yumi said, I''ve been hearing that a lot lately. I''m not comfortable with a tight suit like this. I can''t get used to it.”

    "Something like, if Chef Choi Han-seok was here, can''t we just walk around wearing what we want? It''s a very unusual rule, I think you might have laughed."

    "Oh, really. It''s perfect. I think I can hear your voice."

    A little smile on the laugh of the day.

    Shortly after, the door opened, and the lady disappeared beyond the space where the light leaked out and became holy.

    The work was done, but Yeomra didn''t return right away. Mindfully, Haru asked first.

    "If you have some free time, would you like me to make something for you?"

    "That''s a good idea. I''ve been walking around all day, so I''m hungry. Is anything okay with you?"

    "That''s our restaurant motto."

    "That''s right! And I''m here today!"

    "Well, then.”

    The grim reaper, who had been looking at Yumi, who was flirting with her hand on Haru''s shoulder for a while, began to think hard about something.

    And not long after, he clapped his hands and opened his mouth as if he had a good idea.

    "Kong-guksu, are you okay? Because I used black beans."

    "I happen to have black beans. All of a sudden?"

    "And one more thing. Why don''t the three of us eat together, not alone? Especially, Yumi, it would be good to eat black beans often. You mean seriously?”

    "……Yes?"

    Yumra suddenly says weird things.

    No, if you want to eat cold bean-soup noodles, you can just eat it''s

    It is ridiculous that Yumi suddenly tells Haru or Yumi to eat often afterwards, even if she is picky about asking for black beans.

    Of course, I know that Yeomra is not the type to say such weird things for no reason.

    But to be honest, it was quite embarrassing.

    But later, Yeomra said, with a look on her face that she knew it.

    "Haru''s energy is a little strong. So if you lower it to beans, the baby who will be born later will be healthier. You know what I mean?"……Owwow.

    At the moment, there was silence between the three.
