Hwayugi fanfic (Korean odyssey) : Guardian

Custom-made for you part 1

"So......becoming a grim reaper for......81 years?" He holds onto his phone and looks out the window, spotting someone stepping in a tub, as an alternative way to wash their clothes.

Their washing machine was broken because she was spacing out for the last few days.

"Emhmm, are you satisfied with this outcome?"

A young voice speaks from the other side of the phone.

"Why would you even ask if I'm satisfied? The underworld is always rigorous and fair."

"With the great sage's unstoppable power and cleansing from the lady with the lotus scent, his sin was able to reduce. In the end, he doesn't have to undergo too many punishments. Anyway, he will start his job soon. Regardless, thanks to you guys, the underworld was able to retrieve those missing souls. Things ended well." The voice stops for a moment, "Therefore....your contribution in this matter was able to erase some of his sins."

His expression finally brightens, he looks at her who is not far away, stomping hard on the clothes, splashing water anywhere.

"Thank you. When you have time, I shall treat you to some great wines."

"My pleasure to receive the great sage's invitation."

He hangs up the phone.

The night is getting dark, he walks outside toward the person.

He can faintly hear the sound of crickets chirping, but more, the sound of splashing water. She has her back facing him. She's wearing loose clothes, pants rolled up. Her hair is tied up in a strange way. She is paying great attention to the tub while stomping hard on ............his clothes.

It's strange, for some reason, he wasn't bothered by how roughly she's manhandling his expensive clothes. He sits down quietly.

Under the lamination of the light and moon, her silky white calves, her pretty heel....surrounded by free-floating bubbles.......she's really focusing on her task.

For some unknown reason, his lips moved.

He gently blows into the wind.

The bubbles under her feet begin to change. Whenever she stomps her feet, those bubbles would fly with a hint of green shimmer. At first, she didn't realize, but as the shimmer begins to shine brighter, her surrounding is also becoming brighter.

The shimmers are lighting up the beautiful plants in front of their wooden house. Yet, because she was spacing out for the last few days, she didn't realize how beautiful the plants have grown.

Woah, it's so pretty....

She looks at her surrounding timidly but in awe. She slowly turns around, about 5-6 steps away, he's sitting there, propping his chin on his hand, it seems like he's been watching her for a long time.

In the light, it faintly illuminated his perfectly chiseled face and deep eyes.

"Son Oh Gong......."

"Jin Seon Mi, you don't have a job yet, that blue coat under your feet right now is super expensive. So when you are washing it, please stomp on it gently."

He speaks softly, his lips curve up.

She doesn't know why, but under his gaze, a suspicious pink starts to crawl up her cheeks.

She starts to quicken her action so she can finish.......

She leans down trying to pick up the clothes from the tub. But her feet slip.......
