Yoo Mi had no idea she would be going into labor as late as she did. It was three in the morning and her husband was still working his 3rd shift job somewhere across town. Their son was two weeks past the original due date and they'd been expecting him anytime now, but apparently it still shocked her. She scrambled up backwards on the bed and glanced down at the wet spot that now lay beneath her. If it weren't for the awful pains she was feeling due to contractions she might have even been disgusted. She picked up the cellphone that lay beside her and quickly dialed the number for the ambulance. Amidst all the things happening around her, she failed to notice the shadow lingering near her closet door.
"Such a shame you won't be able to watch your son grow up," the shadow whispered aloud before approaching Yoo Mi and touching her forehead, causing her to pass out. The ambulance she called arrives only minutes after she hangs up and they enter her home only to find her unconscious. They rush her to the hospital and while in the ambulance they are able to slowly coax her to consciousness again. And while all this is happening, the same shadow that caused all of this is laughing in amusement while sitting beside the paramedics.
Little did said shadow know: he would be the one delivering the baby.

"Oh come on! This isn't supposed to be happening! This is the exact opposite of my job!" The grim reaper screamed while helping deliver Yoo Mi's baby.
"You shouldn't have meddled with this humans life if you didn't want to end up in this situation," a voice said from beside the Reaper. "You caused a mass panic in this hospital and all the people that should've been helping Yoo Mi are now occupied, so you do it!"
"I'm trying, but this isn't exactly my forte! I should be helping move souls along, not deliver a child," the reaper snipped back while still struggling to get the baby out safely. Yoo Mi, who should've been panicking this entire time, continued to ignore the inhumane creatures in the room with her and pushed with all her might. She knew she probably wouldn't survive the birth because of the many complications the doctors had warned her about but it didn't mean she wouldn't try to live.
But hours later when her son is finally born and she's named him, she finally passes away from trauma to her body and significant loss of blood.
And while Kyungil, the baby delivering grim reaper, finally does his job of guiding a soul into the afterlife, he catches the name of the small baby.
"YiJeong, eh?"

So as much as I start stories and don't finish them, I really want to finish this. But I usually can't finish a story due to lack of feeling supported and losing interest in writing it because no one gives me feedback. I also can't seem to find any Kyungjeong so I decided to make one hahaaaaa. See you in the next chapter! Hopefully I'll have a set day of updating on Friday because I no longer work on Friday! However I am a senior in high school and I am also class president so I am often busy, but I hope I can finish this! Thanks for reading if you are (:
