The story of a young girl, Moon-Young, who discovers a whole new world as she comes across a grim reaper, Eun-woo. But who knows how things will end up in the future?
"Umm... It was Joon. He invited me over for New Year's Dinner." I say, guiltily. (Why?)
"And.. you said yes?" He asks, although he already knows that.
"Oh, yes. I... did say yes. Is something wrong?" I ask him, wanting to know if it's bothering him. I mean, they're friends again... So it wouldn't bother him, right?
"No.. It's Okay." He says and turns to talk to Sung-Jae.
We go to a good place for dinner and return back by 11:00 pm. I'm very tired, so I just lay down on the sofa as soon as we enter the apartment.
Eun-woo sits near the couch on a chair. He's thinking something.
"Mr. Lee, what is it that's bothering you?" I ask, hoping that he doesn't reply with something like-"You shouldn't go for that dinner".
"Moonyoung. I..." He trails off.
"Hmmm?"
"Moonyoung. Are you very tired?" He says. I am.... but, I dont know why I say "No" instead.
"Well then. Let's binge watch some Anime today?" He asks, shyly.
AWWW. I DIDN'T KNOW HE COULD BE THIS CUTE.
"Sure. What do you wanna watch?" I say, laughing. We pick a new series on Netflix. It takes us about an hour in choosing that itself. Jeez. I bring some chips and sweets.
As we finish the first episode, he notices me shivering a little. I was feeling a bit cold, however I didn't bring a blanket because I'm too lazy for that. And.... of course I can't just ask Eun-woo to share his.
"Are you cold?" He asks.
"Ummm yeah. I'll bring my blanket." I say, about to get up. However, before I can do that, he pulls be back, covering me with his blanket. I'm so close to him. He doesn't look at me, but I can see a smile on his face. He says,"It's okay. We can share mine." AAAAHHH
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO ME RIGHT NOW, MR. LEE EUN-WOO.
By 3 am, we have already finished with most of the episodes. It was mild. The plot wasn't very interesting. Just that regular drama about a high school guy playing volleyball, having his crush on a girl who plays volleyball too, and at first it seems hard but by the end, he gets both the trophy and his girl.... Boring. However, watching all that in Eun-woo's arms definitely wasn't.
After the end of the 13th episode, I look at him to find out that he's fast asleep. HA. WHO'S TIRED NOW? He looks so pretty though. It's my first time seeing him sleep. Classic k-drama scene, right?
I switch off the T.V and get up, but he pulls me back with his hand. Wasn't he asleep??? With his open eyes, the words leave his lips, "Let's just stay like this for a while longer."
OK, MISTER. BUT WHAT ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH!?
God... does he like me too or something? Or is it just because he's half-asleep?
He starts mumbling in his sleep.
"Yes, Momma. I will never leave you like Yuseul noona." He says, gripping my hand tighter.
Oh. So he's just dreaming about his mother. But who's Yuseul? His sister?
And just like that, wondering, I fall asleep too.
When I wake up, he's not beside me anymore. I think he's cooking something, because the room is filled with an amazing smell.
"Morning." He says, not looking at me.
"Yeah. Good Maww-" I say, yawning.
He lets out a small chuckle and continues, "I guess I slept before we finished the anime yesterday. Hehe. I'm sorry you couldn't watch it."
"It wasn't that interesting anyway, Mr. Lee." I say.
After a little while, I ask him,"Who is Yuseul?"
"How do you know about her?" He asks back, puzzled.
"Umm.. you were.. mumbling that name in your sleep." I answer, trying not to bring up the awkward conversation about what happened last night.
"Well.. she was my sister. And.. I hope we can talk about that later?" He says. AHH. Maybe I shouldn't have asked him. Of course such things are meant to be personal.
The morning passes by with little talk between us. He goes out for some work at about 1:00 pm. I sit in my room, listening to some music. Feels good. But.. that doesn't last very long.
Because...
I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT I AM GONNA WEAR !!!!
I quickly rush to my wardrobe, looking for dresses I could potentially wear for tomorrow's dinner. Then, my eye lands on some good stuff.

Finally, I got a chance to wear this!!
Now, I'm really excited for that dinner~
Eun-woo texts me that he'll be late so I go out for dinner. Well, why not, I want to treat myself!
So, I step out into the cold night of 30th December, all alone, while everyone walking around me are couples.
Never have I ever felt so single.
I get into a cozy place cause it looks really cute. After ordering something, I check on my phone to see a meme that Yoona sent me on instagram.
Right then, I hear someone talking on the bench next to me. Wait, they're reapers too. I see the Reapers' Department batch on their chests. I think they're invisible to the other people right now. Why, I wonder?
I dont want to eavesdrop, but I cant help listen to what they're talking about, invisibly.
"There's a little way by which you can see if you're fated to a certain person! Yes, I heard it from an angel himself!! Can you believe it? I'm gonna check if my boyfriend is fated with me or not!!" And then, the reaper tells a method by which the same can be done.
So, what she basically says is that, both the persons who wish to check their fate should drink "a sort of angel's wine" at the same time, and if they both are fated, then the remaining wine would glow.
Bullshit.
But then again, the realm of airs is kinda bullshit too.
