In my next life, please let me be born as a stone.

3. I was human too.

**

And so, the day passed without any harvest.

It seemed like that person was doing dangerous work...

Before I really die

We must make the wish revoked as soon as possible.

...But what on earth am I supposed to do?

Sangjenim sent me down without even telling me that, so what am I supposed to do...

Ha... let's try to persuade them first.

Then something will work out.

I slid through the hospital room door and entered the room.

When I entered the hospital room, I saw the people I had seen yesterday.

김여주

Yoongi!

Yoon-gi flinched in surprise when he saw me, then looked at me with an expression that seemed to ask why I had come again.

A handsome man in a white lab coat saw that, glanced at me, and asked Yoongi.

김석진

What's wrong with you?

민윤기

what?

Yoon-gi looked at me again after hearing the man speak as if he hadn't seen me.

김여주

I can only see you!

민윤기

under...

Yungi sighed as if he were tired and pressed his temples.

민윤기

It's nothing.

민윤기

Shouldn't you go now?

김석진

Uh, there's a mountain of work to do.

김석진

Well then, we're going now, so you rest.

민윤기

uh.

김태형

Brother, we'll be going now.

With those words, the men swarmed out.

Yoon-gi frowned after watching all the men leave, then looked at me again and spoke.

민윤기

Why again today?

김여주

Coming to play with bored Yoongi?

민윤기

I'm not bored, so just go.

김여주

Hey, that's too heartless.

민윤기

You probably came here again to bring up that wish or whatever nonsense.

김여주

Oops, you caught me. Was it obvious?

민윤기

My head hurts, so go away.

김여주

Can't you... quit this job?

민윤기

What is that all of a sudden?

김여주

No... it looked dangerous the last time I saw it.

민윤기

Mind your own business.

민윤기

And since when have we met that you keep speaking informally to me?

민윤기

You can tell just by looking that he's way younger than me.

김여주

What are you talking about!

김여주

I'm at least 80 years older than you.

민윤기

...what?

김여주

If you include his age when he was human, he's probably lived 100 years longer than you.

민윤기

...

민윤기

Were you human too?

김여주

Of course! All angels and grim reapers were once human.

민윤기

Then why did you become an angel?

김여주

...Well? I don't know either.

김여주

I opened my eyes and found myself an angel.

김여주

I don't have any memories from before I died... so I don't really know.

김여주

You should treat others well while you're alive, and don't commit sins.

김여주

Then you might end up working like this even after you die, just like me.

민윤기

...crime?

김여주

Ah... anyway! I'm telling you, treat yourself well while you're still alive.

민윤기

I'm going to turn into a stone when I die.

김여주

Ah, right.

김여주

...No, we have to stop that!

민윤기

How can I stop it?

김여주

Um... that's...

민윤기

You've been acting all cocky all this time without even knowing that?

김여주

I'm going to find a way...

김여주

No matter what I do...

김여주

I'm definitely going to stop it.

민윤기

(Chuckle)

Just like that, Yungi turned his back to me and lay down.

I think I might have smiled...

민윤기

Go away for today. I'm tired.

Today...? Can I come again tomorrow?

Oh well, I don't care!

김여주

Well then, get some good rest! I'll be back tomorrow!

민윤기

...Is that so?

I left the hospital room smiling broadly at Yoon-gi, whose tone seemed to have softened a little.

I have to come again tomorrow!
