Mr. Grim Reaper

Chapter - 25

"Joon. This is.. its.." I want to say 'its glowing', but somehow, the words can't escape from my mouth.

His face holds a shocked expression, mixed with interest and... guilt?

"This is not possible. You and me... are fated?" He says, his hand at his heart. He then looks at me. "But.. how? You are a grim reaper."

"No, Joon. Remember my scroll of fate? It had both Angel and Reaper written on it." I say, accepting reality. Maybe.. Joon and I are meant to be?

"You're right but..." He says. Shock and Curiosity have been erased from his countenance. But the guilt, it still remains. Guilt because he knows I like Eun-woo and he likes me. Now we're fated. He can't be happy about it. But, this isn't his fault.

"Joon.. I hope you're not blaming yourself for this. Maybe, this is just how fate works. It's twisted, it's cruel, but, can we do anything about it? No, right? So... yeah. We better accept the reality." I say, still unsure of my words.

"Thank you Moon-young. I appreciate it, really, but I don't want your love like this. I would never want you to be forced into.. this." He says, his eyes becoming teary.

"Joon, I said I dont blame you. Shut up and don't you say anything now. I'll cry if you do too." I say, smiling at him. But inside, I was overcome with sadness.

"Maybe I should drop you home now."

"Oh, alright."

We are choosing not to talk about this newly-found discovery and what we should do about it. I think I'm very grateful for that. This was getting awkward.

As we exit from the door, we find Eun-woo standing there.

"Eun-woo, you came! But, I didn't call you." I say, rushing  to him.

"Haha. I came just at the right time. I know, I know, I'm so amazing, aren't I?" He says, looking at me. His eyes. I could get lost in them forever. But, he cant be mine.

And I feel like this is the time to break the news to him.

"We have something to tell you." Both Joon and I say at the same time.

I gesture with my eyes, telling him to say it and he passes it back to me. After five minutes of the intense eye-games, Eun-woo coughs. Right.

I'll tell him.

"So........."

He says,"Did you commit a theft or something? What are you hiding from me?", laughing heartily.

"Moon-young and I are fated." Joon says in between.

PS: I know this chapter is short, sorryy!!! :((
