Ara: This is getting out of hand.
Jaemin: What are those things?
Ara: Stuff you don't need to see.
Jaemin: Is this what you were fighting at the graveyard?
She glanced at him and her uneasy glance gave him his answer.
Jaemin: So you're telling me they are coming to harm me and you are trying to protect me? How does that work? As far as i know you are here to take my life at the right time.
Ara: Oh my god...
She said through clenched teeth.
Jaemin: Are you really not giving me answers-
Ara: Oh my god Na Jaemin. Do you ever fucking shut up?
Jaemin: Not until you give me some explanation.
Ara: God...
Jaehyun:Yes?
Ara: Not you dumbass-
Jaemin: What?
Ara: I wasn't talking to you- okay... fine... anyway, those things are coming for you to get me killed. If i am not the one taking your soul and safely delivering it to hell or heaven then I am sentenced to death by god.
Jaehyun:Strike one! You'll get in trouble for telling him so much.
Ara: Get out of my head!
Jaehyun:Just keeping you in check.
Ara: Ugh...
She whispered.
Jaemin: Wait... so... what?
Ara: Those demon like things are doing it to get rid of DEATHs so that they can devour souls whenever they want.
Jaehyun:Strike two! Be careful of what you say next. One more slip up and i call on council.
Jaemin: So, you're protecting me for two days so you don't die?
Ara: More like perish since i am already dead but yes.
Jaemin: So you were human once?
Jaehyun:Ara...
His voice rang with warning lacing her human name.
Ara: I can't say no more...
Jaehyun:Wise choice.
She rolled her eyes while turning away and peeked out the window, finding it clear as day.
Jaemin: That's all I am getting?
Ara: I'm sorry Jaemin. But i can't tell you everything.
She looked up.
Ara: Since I am on strikes!
Jaemin looked up too then at her, to find her glaring at the ceiling.
Jaemin: Who are you talking to?
Ara: No one.
She waved her hand and he felt something land around him, but of course he couldn't see it.
Jaemin: Why am I in this again?
Ara: I need to go meet someone. I will be back in no time. But if something comes at you, just call out my name and i will be back here. Okay?
He gulped but nodded anyway. He blinked once and when he opened his eyes again, she was gone. And suddenly he felt unsafe.

Ara: What the fuck?
Jaehyun: Hm?
Ara: Its way more than i thought. I have only ever needed to fight one which you would handle after i conveniently get wounded.
Jaehyun: Until your on the brink of passing, i can not step in and kill a death bell, you know that very well.
Ara: Fine but why are there so many?
The male put his wine glass down and looked her right in the eye.
Jaehyun: You've never had to take a soul to heaven or hell before. Its your first time taking one to their respective afterlife.
Her face grew into a sour expression.
Jaehyun: Punched by the harsh truth, Ara?
Ara: That's not my name.
Jaehyun: Fine. DEATH 1277786. Better?
Ara: ... I'll stick to Ara.
He stood up from his chair walking to his shelf filled with records.
Jaehyun: Sending your love to hell would be tough.
The words made every cell in her body freeze.
Ara: He doesn't deserve hell.
Jaehyun: You saw his records. Ninth life... he grows to be a scumbag-
He paused making Ara look over, to notice his weary and worried expression, while looking into a file.
Ara: What happened?
Jaehyun: Nothing.
He snapped and shut the file close before placing it back on the shell, though Ara shrugged it off.
Ara: He is weirdly nice though... Unlike the file.
Jaehyun: You would expect them to change when you tell them they have only limited time to live. Ara... you have to be the one sending him. I know you're thinking of ways to dodge it.
Ara: Why can't I-
Jaehyun: I get it that you were lovers in your and his first life. You unfortunately were killed by a death bell before a DEATH could get to you, so you, yourself became DEATH 1277786. On you're first day of work i told you your first client is Jaemin in his second life, and you got ecstatic. And i also clearly told you, you cannot fall in love with an assigned soul.
Ara: But-
Jaehyun: But you went against my words and fell in love with him. I suggested the Council of gods to assign him to an older DEATH but they decided to torture you as a punishment. And oh boy Ara... despite the fates making him a worse person each life, you still fall in love with him... again... and again... breaking the same rule again and again... like a fool.
Jaemin: Ara!
