"..Hey Jeon Jungkook, why are you here?"
"It's my funeral, so I can't leave the main character out."
"No, you crazy bastard"
It was not something we could do together to say goodbye and hug each other.
Even though there are a lot of humans here, you absolutely must not do anything that will attract attention!
I held back from hitting Jungkook, who was mindlessly eating bread. "Okay, Yeoju, this is a funeral home. Hold on."
"So you've decided to keep Jeon Jungkook? It seems like there's no point in doing that..."
"?..What are you talking about? Why are you holding onto Jeongguk? You said he went to the afterlife. You said he was reincarnated!"
"...Hey Lion, didn't you tell the heroine?"
"What? Is this something that everyone knows except me?"
"..Didn't you guys tell me that?"
"..."
hey!!!!!!!!!
***
Since we no longer needed to be at the funeral, we decided to go straight to a nearby cafe. It was really absurd that even Beomgyu oppa was watching me closely, as if everyone else knew this except me.
Ha, really, huh, really. I cried so much because of Jeon Jungkook.
Yeonjun, who was driving, glanced at me through the rearview mirror and opened his mouth.
"I didn't tell you on purpose because I thought I'd be closing it soon, Yeoju."
"..."
.. That's even more extreme. I wanted to show my disappointment, but I swallowed it inside. But I was still so, so, so upset.
It's not even confirmed yet, so why are you drawing the line already? You're already cutting ties.
As I was gritting my teeth and cursing inwardly, Taehyun, who was behind me, tapped my arm.
"Stop swearing, Yeonjun hyung."
"..."
Oh my, you're swearing at me? I shook my head, trying my best to smile awkwardly at Yeonjun's words. Haha, that's impossible.
I sighed softly, almost too quietly for anyone to hear, and looked out the window. So this is what the afterlife is like... It goes on and on. They say it's fate, but they take the lives of innocent people... and now they're bringing them back, saying they're short on manpower.
What are these gods doing? They don't catch the bad guys.
"That god is driving now."
"..Ah, seriously, Kang Tae-hyun! Stop eavesdropping on my inner thoughts."
I'd forgotten about Yeonjun, the highest-ranking angel among us. Oh, right... he's driving. Jungkook, who was watching Taehyun's continued antics with curiosity, asked an unexpected question.
"But how did you guys end up working here?"
"...Hey, we're doing this because we're short-handed.."
"You won't be here long anyway, so why are you curious about that?"
"..Tseup oppa. Speak nicely."
"..I have a lot of questions, but I'm a little sensitive to such personal questions. It's not just me, everyone feels the same way."
"Right!" I looked proudly at my brother, who immediately changed his tone. He was fiddling with the hand I was holding. Jungkook nodded, seemingly oblivious to my tone and everything, and spoke.
“Everyone has their own personal circumstances.. I brought you here because I had strong spiritual energy and strength in my lifetime and I thought you would be useful.”
"Does the grim reaper have to be strong?"
"No? I heard there's an evil spirit running wild in this world right now, and I heard that Brother Lion was attacked by that evil spirit."
"Tseuup- got kicked out. There's nothing this guy can't do. Really..."
"Oh, brother- you're right! I said one person can't cover it."
"That's not it. That guy is no ordinary guy. He hides his true colors, that's why. Got it, Yeoju? I'm strong."
Uh... you don't have to emphasize that much.
I nodded a few times at the urgent explanation of the lion. That evil spirit was much stronger than I thought... Even though the energy felt short, the pressure was no joke. While I was thinking about it, it seemed like we had arrived before I knew it. One by one, people got out of the car, and soon after, my feet hit the ground, and a strong wind blew, causing me to stagger without realizing it. As I staggered as if I were going to fall, someone grabbed my waist from behind.
"Ugh!.."
"Be careful, you'll fall backwards."
"..thank you"
"Yeah. I can't thank you enough, but your boyfriend is glaring at you from over there."
When I turned around, wondering what he meant, I saw Soobin oppa looking at me with a fierce gaze, as if he was about to punch me at any moment. Unlike Soobin oppa who snickered as if it wasn't funny, I ran to Beomgyu oppa and grabbed his hand in a hurry. Only then did he relax and look at me with affectionate eyes.
"Don't look at me like that! You were the one who caught me when I almost fell."
"..you know"
"Why are you so jealous when you don't respond? It's really funny - even ghosts get jealous."
"That's not it, that kid was secretly touching your waist."
Hey, that's funny? Did I catch it because I wanted to?
When Soobin started yelling, Beomgyu grabbed him by the collar and started swearing at him, saying that the so-called angel department bastard had bad habits.
Eventually, I gave up on the two of them and approached Jeongguk, who was looking at the menu with interest.
"Hey Jungkook, what do you want to drink? I'll have an Americano..."
"Yeonjun said his brother shot it. Hey, why are those two fighting?"
"They're both just being sarcastic, don't worry about it."
"Oki"
Without even asking the opinions of the two who were arguing, I ordered a drink and sat down in a place with as few people as possible. I wanted to hear in detail about what had happened to Jungkook, but I didn't have time to do that because my brothers kept talking about our goal and the evil spirit, so I just quietly sipped my drink.
Ah- I want to go home.. As I was looking out the window, pretending not to notice anything, Yeonjun oppa asked me a question and all eyes turned to me.
"That demon, when I saw it. I think there's a reason it avoids the female protagonist."
"..ugh, gulp, gulp- Me?"
"Didn't you notice something strange? Something with enough power to threaten the Grim Reaper ran away when it saw you."
"I don't know for sure. Maybe he just ran away because he was short of money."
"I agree with Yeonjun. If that demon is afraid of Yeoju, things would be different."
"..what if that's true?"
"You have to catch that demon."
"What if not?"
"So, what do you all think about leaving the female protagonist alone in front of that evil spirit?"
bang-!!
"Are you fucking crazy?"
"..."
"Absolutely not. Haven't you heard that even a lion cub got mauled? No. That's reckless."
Oh my!..I told you I didn't hit you, you punk!..
The lion cleared his throat and gave a small scolding. Beomgyu pretended not to hear and quietly squeezed my hand. However, the other team members seemed to think differently.
Everyone thought about it carefully, and then Taehyun opened his mouth.
"Let's do as Huening says."
"..Hey Kang Tae-hyun"
"Choi Beomgyu, have you forgotten? We need to catch the devil and bring him up. It's something we've always done."
"No matter what, the female protagonist can't do it alone."
"Who sent Han Yeo-ju alone? We can just hide and wait."
"Ha, no, really... Let's say I catch him. When will that evil spirit that runs away so well come out again? How do I know where he'll come from?"
"Why don't you know? There's that girl."
..ah
Yu Ji-min.
I haven't seen him since then, but I have a feeling that a demon might be possessing Jimin.
A demon that clings to people and commits evil deeds. If you don't catch that bastard, it will come back again.
It means that an innocent person may lose his life.
"Ugh... What should I do, heroine? You can't quit your job."
