"Are you out of your mind? How can you even think of such an absurd compliment?" Yeon scowled at his subordinate fiercely.
Dae Hyuk promptly glanced at Yeon and made a long face. "Of course, only a blind person would want to marry such an arrogant guy!" He reciprocated.
Yeon shifted his gaze towards him and ogled for a while. "Hey, if you have forgotten then let me remind you, I am a grim reaper! We can't get married or have a normal life like humans because it will forbid our rules of existence. You guys are quite lucky to at least have the choice to be with your family and partner of your own." His voice sounded a bit sad as he murmured in a low breath.
Dae Hyuk somehow felt a little sad about his pitiful fate and couldn't tease him further. "It's true enough, we are more privileged than these helpless people who have nothing to do except guiding the souls." He wondered with a deep sigh.
...
The guy was quite stumbled with the sudden intense situation between them and scraped his neck in embarrassment. "I am sorry for going a little overboard." He muttered.
Yeon sensed his anticipation and lowered his head to gulp down his meal. Abruptly, a cold silence prevailed around then.
...
Everyone was busy stuffing up noodles, in the meantime, Dae Hyuk peeked at Yeon secretively. Although he was dressed quite simple with completely black attire, still his broad biceps were prominently visible from outside his coat. His fingers were broad and thick compared to Dae Hyuk. Moreover, he had porcelain skin and his lips were cherry red in colour as if he had applied some lipstick! But the portion which caught his attention the most was his dark black eyes with long eyelashes. His artistic eyes uplifted his handsomeness to a greater extent.
"Woah, he has an aesthetic beauty." Dae Hyuk thought while peeking at him.
..
"May I ask why are you staring at me?"
Both his subordinate and Dae Hyuk flinched with his sudden cold enquiry. He was a bit flustered with his question and immediately turned his face away.
"Umm, no, I wasn't staring at you. Why would I do it?" He fumbled with a hazy tone.
Yeon shifted his gaze towards him with an impish smirk before answering, "we have our supernatural instincts so it's quite evident to notice the behaviour of humans."
Dae Hyuk was fidgeting anxiously as he was swiftly caught by him on the act. Unknowingly his eyes struck on a shining yet unique silver watch on Yeon's wrist and he gawked at it. "Is this a mysterious watch too?" He inquired.
"Yes, this is our occult watch which makes us visible in front of humans whenever we wear it. It's quite necessary to dwell on the earth." His subordinate answered with a mellow tone.
Dae Hyuk giggled with this response and widened his eyes. "Woah! You guys are so awesome!" He blurted out.
His subordinate stared at him for a while and politely asked, "well, can you really see ghosts?"
Dae Hyuk firmly nodded his head with a sneer. "Yes, I think I got this ability from my mom, as she could see ghosts too."
He rolled up his eyes in wonder before asking inquisitively, "wow! Can she still see them?"
Abruptly Dae Hyuk's jovial face was overpowered with darkness and he lowered his gaze. "No, she is dead." He muttered.
Yeon silently glanced at his face which looked stuffed in pain. He sighed deeply as he felt a little sorry for him.
...
DHUUKK!
Suddenly all of them heard a strange sound and immediate turmoil was created inside the convenience store. Dae Hyuk sprang up from his seat to notice the chaos, but he discovered something shocking.
The convenience store manager was lying on the ground being completely motionless and all the crowd was gathered around him. Some people were panicking hard and some were calling out for some help.
He rushed towards the person and bent down on the ground. Quickly he held out his wrist to check the pulse but he widened his eyes in fear! That guy was already dead!
"Oh my gosh, how did he die?" He shrieked nervously.
The lady working at the store was sobbing bitterly beside that person. "I don't know... He felt a sudden pain in his chest and dropped on the ground... Maybe... it was cardiac arrest..." She was mumbling in grief.
He was startled with the situation and gasped at the man on the ground. "How can someone die such instantly?" He was anticipating.
...
"I told you earlier, this guy gonna be dying today."
Dae Hyuk flinched with the sudden voice from the subordinate and turned his head behind. Yeon and his subordinate were standing behind him with a calm and composed gesture. They didn't seem to be panicking even a slight with the ongoing intense situation.
Abruptly he glanced at their wrist and their mystic watch was not there. So it means they were in their invisible form.
Yeon slowly bent down on the ground beside Dae Hyuk and stared at him intensively. He still had a panic-stricken face and his eyes looked a bit scared.
Yeon smirked with his reaction and brought his face a little closer to him. "Are you scared of us now?" He murmured.
