"unnie, ryung-gu, where are you lot?" si-eun asks, driving to a particular mortuary.
"still at jumadeung with timjangnim, you?" ryung-gu answers, picking his nose.
"you know you're technically older than me right?" ryeon answered.
"of course," she said grinning, "i just finished a case, so i'm coming back. i can drop unnie off to the next case?"
"ok, but you gotta drop by jumadeung afterwards," ryeon replies, "park timjangnim is asking for you. again."
si-eun sighs at how ryeon's tone changed 180 degrees when she talked about joong-gil and mumbles, "okok, what the hell does he want this time"
"who knows? my next case is at this carpark, but you might need to pick me up somewhere else."
"timjangnim, noona, another case came up. so both of you better not take too long"
"sure sure."
"unnie, come down now," si-eun says as she hangs up.
as they arrive, ryeon, dressed in a red suit, opens the door and steps out to an isolated car park.
"thanks for the ride"
"any time, unnie~"
"stop calling me that" she said, followed with a death stare.
still with a grin, si-eun drove away.
after entering the coffin, blipping across the bridge, si-eun opens the door to a lavish and glamorous lobby. quickly, she walks towards the lift, obviously greeting the sweet octuplet with a wave.
si-eun walks into joonggil's office without knocking as usual, "hey, what's up?"
"i need your help with something" he replied.
she eyed him up and down, noting the black gloves and black suit and black tie, everything he wears is just black at this point to be honest.
"a girl i collected a few decades ago wants to become a grim reaper. she did all the course and things, but now she gotta finish the exam. can you help her? given you made the exam and everything..."
"ok ok, but you gotta stop calling unnie when you want to find me"
"deal, i'll just call lim ryung-gu then."
"nevermind i'm not helping you"
"ya, si-eun pleaseeeee"
"you have to swear you're not going to call ryung-gu, or unnie, and i'll help you"
he looked up, pretending to think as she started walking towards the door.
"ok ok ok ok, i won't call lim ryung-gu or koo ryeon" he said, holding his right hand up, as if he's at court "i swear to my own grave"
"you don't even remember where you grave is"
