“Sir, the tteokbokki you just made was the best.”

여주

“I think I know why you continue to be a spirit while living an eternal life like that.”

성운

“No matter how good it is, it’s just the same day over and over again.”

성운 image

성운

“The truth is, spirits don’t have holidays or retirement, and things like that.”

여주

“No holidays? That’s harsh.”

성운 image

성운

“But since the working hours are short, we tend to do it without saying anything.”

성운 image

성운

“I had little choice after I died anyway.”

여주

“You said there was a time when you were alive too, right?”

여주

“So, after you died like that, you started working as soon as you came to heaven?”

성운 image

성운

“Actually… almost like that.”

성운 image

성운

“When I came to heaven, almost as soon as I opened my eyes, God told me that I was dead.”

성운 image

성운

“Until then, I thought, ‘Oh, maybe that’s what happened?’”

성운 image

성운

“But what I also added was that I was the first red fox to die.”

성운 image

성운

“And then I proposed a position as a spirit… No, no, I almost appointed him.”

여주

"I didn't know you had that side to you. I thought you said you were reporting on supernatural powers."

성운 image

성운

“I’m not the kind of person who only thinks about my own interests, am I?”

여주

“But if I were you, I would probably do it, right?”

여주

“If you came to me and said, ‘I’ll give you superpowers, so just work a little bit every day,’ I’d accept right away.”

여주

“Work less and gain superpowers.”

성운 image

성운

“I never worked at all while I was alive.”

여주

“I do it?”

여주

"Anything has its drawbacks, so there must be a spirit involved. But I'm still going to do it."

성운 image

성운

“If there’s a downside...”

성운 image

성운

“...Eternal life, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage?”

성운 image

성운

“At first, I thought it was good, but it wasn’t that good.”

성운 image

성운

“You will understand if you live for millions of years.”

성운 image

성운

“I don’t like dying, but it’s a good thing.”

여주

“Well, I don’t know, I’ve only lived for 30 years. It’s a bit much to brag about.”

성운 image

성운

“Isn’t that bragging?”

여주

“If you say it’s not bragging, then it is.”

성운 image

성운

"But these days, my thoughts have changed a bit. I think eternal life isn't necessarily a bad thing."

여주

"why?"

성운 image

성운

“If you live long enough, we can be together forever.”

여주

"what."

성운 image

성운

“It’s true. I don’t know about anyone else, but I want to be with you.”

성운 image

성운

“I’ll be so sad if you die later.”

여주

“What are you talking about, dying…”

여주

“But one of the reasons I wanted to become a spirit was so I could stay with you for a long time.”

성운 image

성운

“Not for long, but forever.”

여주

“What’s the point of doing something that’s impossible, whether it’s long or forever?”

여주

“You said that, sir. You became a spirit when you died for the first time.”

여주

“How can I become a spirit when my mother is dead?”

성운 image

성운

“That’s true. They’re all first-time dead.”

성운 image

성운

“The same goes for human spirits.”

성운 image

성운

“It would be easier for a spirit to die than for you to become a spirit.”

여주

“In that case, the sun will rise in the west. Don’t talk about death.”

성운 image

성운

“Just as humans speak in idioms, we should also speak among ourselves in idioms.”

성운 image

성운

“This isn’t Earth, how can we see the sun rising in the east?”

여주

“Oh… is that so?”

성운 image

성운

"But what are we doing here? It would be better if we could just stay together, even if it's just a little."

성운 image

성운

“Am I really happy just by your presence?”

여주

"Me too. So what if you're a spirit? They say love has no age, so what does race have to do with it?"

성운 image

성운

“Our heroine speaks beautifully.”

여주

“I thought you only had a good face, but you have a really good heart too.”

성운 image

성운

“What? Just the face?”

여주

“Don’t you remember the first time we met? What did you do then?”

성운 image

성운

“…I don’t remember.”

여주

"Back then, it wasn't even the military, and you were always speaking rudely and informally, right? And to people you just met?"

여주

“And do you know what the voice was like?”

여주

“It was completely different from now.”

여주

“I’ve never seen anyone’s voice change in my life without even having a cold.”

여주

“How did you change your voice from that to what it is now?”

성운 image

성운

“I was trying to scare you when you suddenly started talking to me.”

성운 image

성운

“Actually, you’re not saying this to just anyone right now, are you?”

여주

“I guess he only talks to me because he has no one else to talk to.”

성운 image

성운

“No?”

여주

“No, it’s not true. It’s exactly right.”

성운 image

성운

“Okay, I’m happy with this moment with you.”

성운 image

성운

“I’m happy just the way things are now.”

여주

“...Look at the way you’re changing the subject. He’s just a skilled person, a skilled person.”
