"..I don't feel like eating"
"Hey, I told you to just have one bite. You'll starve to death if you do that..."
Oh, he's already dead...
Soobin scratched her head, embarrassed. When she raised her spoon again to offer it to Yeoju, she saw her eyes brimming with tears.
"..Why are you crying again?"
"Oppa, Jungkook is going to die soon. Do you think that makes sense right now?"
"Ha, I give up. Hey Choi Yeonjun-! You feed the kid some food."
Yes. The members were taking turns caring for the heroine, who had been out of her mind since meeting the lion. Yeonjun, who had suddenly appeared at Soobin's call, switched places with her.
Regardless, Yeoju continued to shed tears as thick as chicken poop. Yeonjun, finally deciding he couldn't feed her, put the bowl away and sat down next to her.
"I was very surprised to hear the lion's words, Yeoju."
"You can do it, oppa. You're an angel, right? You can keep Jungkook from dying."
"I'm sorry, lady, but your lifespan cannot be changed."
"..It's pitiful. He's still a high school student, so he must have a lot he wants to do.."
"You died young too."
"Brother, I still..."
I guess the word "death" isn't familiar to you. Maybe it's because I'm hanging out with humans in this world, but it doesn't feel real to me that I'm dead.
My brother, who had been listening to me silently, gently stroked my head. It felt comforting.
"Still, I have no choice. I have to let Jungkook go."

"Why do you keep doing this... Have you forgotten that my duty is to be a grim reaper?"
"Grandpa, let's make a real deal. If you do this, I'll give you free ice cream for the next 60 years."
"You're not asking for Jeon Jungkook's lifespan to be extended by 60 years in return, are you?"
"Oh, 60 years!!!"
"then?"
About 70 years?
It was a lion cub that turned around and ran away as soon as I answered timidly.
It was a lion that shook its head, saying that its head was spinning, as it chased after it, grabbed its arm, and shook it.
"I told you for nothing. I just wanted you to say goodbye in advance. But you're being so stubborn..."
"Honestly, going at 18 is too much, it's really too much!!"
"I decide? Huh? I decide? I'm not playing around with people's lives."
"Are you kidding? Only gods joke - who are they to decide whether humans live or die?"
"Excuse me, but you are a god too.."
Even though it is the lowest rank.
My eyes lit up at the lion's words. Yes! I'm a god too.
I can save Jeon Jungkook. Let's at least try.
I ignored the lion's call from behind and headed towards school.
Although I was really late, my steps felt light for some reason.
My heart felt much lighter as I saw a glimmer of hope.
By the time I arrived at school, second period was already over and it was recess time. As the school gates creaked open, the class's eyes were glued to me. Of course, Jeon Jungkook was among them. I strode over and grabbed him by the collar.
"I will save you"
