Finally, after the blissful weekend, the greatly disgusted weekday i.e Monday arrived; which is hated by almost every working human being in the world.
Dae was staring at the documents which he was ordered to monitor in his weekend leave with a pouty face. He couldn't utilize his whole off duty time in his fluffy bed due to these stupid documents.
He sighed with agitation and shoved the documents on his desk. Suddenly, his mind reminded him of the fateful meeting with Yeon and Suho and a small glimpse of a smile appeared on his dull face.
Beside him, Kwan, his only friend earned for life at the workplace, was gazing at his desktop with a frown eloquence. Quietly, Dae dragged his revolving chair closer to his desk and glanced at him with a simper.
"What do you need now?" A cold response came from Kwan with his eyes still glued upon his desktop.
Dae smirked with his response and looked all around them. He brought his face a bit closer to him before whispering, "Kwan, do you believe in grim reapers?"
Kwan slightly peeked at him and scrunched his eyebrows. "Yes, I have seen some web series based on them." He sounded quite frigid.
"No not in those damn web series, I mean in this real world! Do you believe that they exist in the real world?" Dae continued his inquiry.
Kwan didn't seem any interested in his queries and silently shook his head in opposition. "Why are you asking me all these? Did you watch a new fantasy web drama?" He reciprocated.
Dae sneered with his answer and looked around them again. He lowered down his tone before speaking in a dubious manner, "I have met real grim reapers this weekend!"
Kwan raised his head from the computer screen and straightly looked at him with a dazed gaze. After a moment of silence, he quietly opened the drawer of his desk and took out a visiting card.
"Here, this is Dr. Han's card. He is one of the renowned psychiatrists in Seoul and I have visited him too. You should go and check up with him soon." He answered in a cold voice while handing him the visiting card.
"What?" Dae flinched in surprise with his apathetic answer and snatched the card from his hand. "Hey, I haven't gone crazy yet. What do you take me for?" He fussed while crumbling the card before discarding it.
"So do you want me to believe your stupid stories? How can it be possible?" He opposed firmly.
Dae sighed heavily with his response and ogled at him with a look of displeasure. "If ghosts can exist on earth, why not grim reapers?"
Kwan was startled by his revelation and gulped anxiously. "Wh-What? G-Ghost?" He looked entirely confused.
Dae rolled his eyes mystically and sneered before mumbling, "it's a secret which I have kept hidden from everyone until now, but I think I can share it with you. Because you are just like me with no friends or lover."
"Hey, are you insulting me? What a jerk!" Kwan whined childishly.
Dae took a large sip from his black coffee and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Well Kwan, I can see ghosts. I know it can shock you but I got the ability from my mother. But it's the first time, I met real grim reapers on earth. I even witnessed them taking away the soul of a dead human with them." He murmured.
He fretted his face with the unexpected declaration and was spellbound for a while. "Hey, Dae... you know I don't like this kind of jokes, right?" His voice trembled.
Dae's face darkened a little and he gazed at him dubiously while explaining, "I am not joking. Do you remember how did I get the clue about that complicated murder case of Mr. Okoshima? I could do it because I met his ghost who guided me to the clue of reaching the end of that case. So, yes, this kind of incident has happened to me plenty of times."
Kwan became extremely anxious with his mystic statement and gulped down some water from his bottle. After calming himself a little he straightly ogled at him with a frowning grimace, "Dae, are you really a human? Or... some ethereal creature?" He murmured.
Dae bursted out in laughter with his startling question and tried to uplift his dense mood. "Don't worry, I am absolutely a human, but I can see almighty creatures. And don't consider grim reapers as monsters! They just look like humans similar to us. I have met two of them." He continued.
Kwan started sweating with his blabbering and took out his hanky to rub off the sweat. All these shocking revelations were quite hard for him to digest. "Two grim reapers? But... aren't they symbolize death?" He sounded curious.
"Hell no! These are all stupid superstitions!" Dae blurted out instantly and immediately looked around before lowering his tone, "they just guide the dead souls to the afterlife but they get notified prior before anyone is about to die. They are really cool!"
Kwan stared at him in wonder and narrowed his eyes. "Instead of getting scared, he is finding grim reapers as cool! I think, he has seriously lost some brain cells due to overworking." He thought with a deep sigh.
"And two of them were drastically different from each other! One of them was completely a cold, conceited, and rude jerk. And the other one was really sweet, humble, and gentle. But compared to them, I think the arrogant guy was remarkably attractive. He could easily give competitions to any of our supermodels of Showbiz industry." Dae seemed very jovial while chattering about them.
Suddenly, a thought struck Kwan's mind and he gazed at him with a sharp stare. "Dae, can I meet them too?" He asked.
Such a unique request from him surprised Dae. He narrowed his eyes and reciprocated his inquiry with a dense voice, "really? So, do you believe me now?"
"Yes. I am more curious about them now as you assured me that they aren't any dangerous creatures. Can you let me meet them?" He urged.
Dae smirked cryptically with his demand and firmly nodded his head before replying, "of course, my eyes are proficient in capturing unique creatures! Especially, Mr. Yeon!"
