1_ A bunch of chrysanthemums - I will guide you

*White chrysanthemum: sincerity, truth *Red chrysanthemum: truth

......

08:09 PM

Less than 10 minutes after the start of the school day, a child, neatly dressed in a school uniform, was passing through a not-so-bright hallway, holding a fan and flowers in one hand.

Something made him feel so good. He was humming a refreshing melody, and a smile was on his face, a rare sight, but one that you wouldn't know was even a smile if you didn't look closely.

Drumroll-

Strong but gentle, he opened the back door of the quiet class, and he maintained his conspicuous but uncluttered posture and his characteristically cool aura.

.....

On a desk, several beautifully wrapped chrysanthemums were in full bloom, very pretty to look at, heartbreaking to some, and upsetting to others.

민윤기

....

Yoon-ki, who had been standing quietly in front and touching the petals of the chrysanthemum on top, lifted the petals to his eye level and opened his mouth.

민윤기

What should never have been born has seen the light, and yet, caught up among such vulgar things, it ends so miserably.

학생

.....

The sound of pencils clinking at Yoon-gi's words, and the sound of singing that could be heard outside despite the earphones being turned up a little loud, also became quiet in an instant.

No one was there from the beginning, no one knew the child, they just kept quiet.

민윤기

Poor thing... but still, it would be easier for you, a good guy, to go than for the evil ones.

학생

....Hey, it's palm tree time now...

민윤기

Evil has no patience

A student who couldn't stand to see Yoon-gi open his mouth, and his previously emotionless eyes began to take on a sharp air.

민윤기

Sitting there so shamelessly doing the work that this child should be doing...

학생

....

민윤기

Still, since you keep your head up so stiffly, you should know that you are blessed.

Yoon-ki threw the flowers he was holding onto the classroom floor and then stomped on them absentmindedly but without fail.

민윤기

If you put up flowers while jumping around like this, who would climb up there and say thank you? Right?

Yoon-ki gave a pretty smile that was bitter but lovable, and the student shivered slightly, as if his hair was on the floor.

학생

Yeah...we're in our third year of high school?? How important is homework time, why don't we go out right now??

민윤기

Ha...Is it because you don't understand what I'm saying...or because you're not listening...?

학생

Get out now!!!

Knock knock ...

At the back door, which opened with a loud noise at the same time as the student's shout, a child was standing there, catching his breath, as if he had run.

정호석

Phew... Min Yoongi, when you hit your foot

Yoongi, who was still trampling on the flowers with his feet, returned his feet to their original position with an expression that said he was grateful for Hoseok's words.

민윤기

I wonder if you're the grim reaper. How come you come later than the unrelated grim reaper?

정호석

Don't you think you're breaking the rules?

민윤기

I've never thought about that, and I don't have time to.

정호석

Ha....Why did you step on the flower? What crime did you commit to throw such a gentle flower to the ground?

민윤기

Shouldn't we release the ankle that is holding back what is trying to go up?

정호석

....what do you mean

At Hoseok's words, Yoongi waved the red chrysanthemum he had been holding from the beginning, and Hoseok frowned at Yoongi.

정호석

In the end, it's not about India, it's about destruction.

민윤기

Since the grim reapers keep dragging their feet, wouldn't it be better for me, who has nothing left, to do it?

정호석

I didn't drag it out, I just waited for the right time, and I didn't know it would come this quickly.

민윤기

Why didn't I know that, I'm a grim reaper

정호석

yunki min!

Yoongi shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened to Hoseok's shouting and turned his eyes back to the pile of chrysanthemums. Hoseok, who was about to approach him, stopped at Yoongi's words.

민윤기

Sincerity....yeah, that's good too, but

정호석

.....

민윤기

How many more chances do I have to give this kid to be honest?

정호석

.....I'm not asking for a chance, I'm just asking you to wait. No one is mentally prepared yet.

민윤기

Who are these children's parents? Or are these people who are emitting a foul odor that fills this space?

Yoongi held a fan with the other hand holding the flowers and pointed at the entire class, making Hoseok open his mouth.

정호석

These children are innocent, they have nothing to do with it.

민윤기

How do you know that?

정호석

Unlike the Grim Reaper who receives a reward for just destroying things without any emotion, the Grim Reaper is very interested in his surroundings.

민윤기

.....award?

정호석

Yes, sir, if you destroy one ghost, you will receive a reward that no one can imagine, but us...

bang-!

Yoongi laughed in disbelief at Hoseok's words, then slammed his fan hard on the desk, causing several chrysanthemums piled on top to fall to the floor.

민윤기

If it's a reward like this, I'd be happier not to receive it.

정호석

....I don't know what kind of reward you guys are getting, but do it moderately, that kid is a kid from the grim reaper

민윤기

Heh.... I was feeling good today for some reason, but I feel like I could fall so easily

정호석

.....

민윤기

Yeah...the list is already in the hands of the Grim Reaper, but since you came, I should give you a gift, right?

정호석

....I don't think it's necessary to give it to you

민윤기

How do you know, this kid will want to receive it?

정호석

.....

Yoon-ki didn't pick up the flowers that had fallen on the floor and placed the red chrysanthemum he was holding in a pile of white chrysanthemums.

At the same time, red lights began to appear on Ho-seok's frowning forehead and on the white chrysanthemum flowers.

민윤기

Oh...what a pity. How did it catch fire?

정호석

....out...

민윤기

Yeah, you should have been polite since the messenger was already there.

정호석

For a grim reaper who doesn't even show the slightest respect to the grim reaper, courtesy is a luxury and arrogance.

민윤기

.....

정호석

It would be a loss for us to catch a ghost that has already been burned and destroyed...

Hoseok tore the list he was holding in half and threw it into the trash can, and at the same time, the names written in black letters disappeared.

정호석

From now on, let's just mess with each other's ghosts. We're not that close, are we?

Hoseok smiled once and left the classroom he had rudely entered. Yoongi, who had been staring at the door Hoseok had left through, muttered quietly and left the classroom.
