Him and Death [ Wonwoo ff ]

Chapter 2: Earth

×

Death, Conquest, War, and Famine all stood outside the gates of Heaven looking down at Earth. It spun slowly, some areas of the earth were lit up by their huge cities, and some parts were pitch dark. Death had never really been to Earth before. It was true that she would go down to collect souls of the dead to bring them to either Heaven or Hell, but she had never gone out into the world known as Earth.

Famine looked over the side of Heaven where Earth was spinning. "Well, it doesn't look too bad." He said turning to Death who was walking over beside her brother to look down along with Conquest and War.

"You'll love it Death!" War finally said.
"I go down to Earth all the time!"

"Yeah, to reek havoc. Let's see, the last time you went down you started a war that's still going on to this day!" Conquest said clearly irritated.

"And remember 1861 when you 'accidently' started the Civil War? God was so mad." Famine said looking back at War who crossed his arms and huffed.

Death chuckled to herself remembering when War had come home to tell them that he may or may not have started one of the worst wars in that century. Boy was God upset. But now, Death stood at the gates of Heaven about to jump off to find Wonwoo.

Conquest seemed to notice Death's silence and put a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't be nervous. Besides, God gave War, Famine, and I spacial permission to come visit you when your feeling homesick! How great does that sound?"

Death smiled. It was true that she was going to miss her brothers and God so very much. Death had never gone a day without her brothers, and now she had to go to unknown terrain to convert a kpop idol.

Turning to her brothers, Death smiled.

"Promise to come visit me?" She asked.

Her three brothers smiled and nodded. "Of course we will! What kind of brothers would we be if we didn't?" War asked pulling Death into a bone crushing hug.

Famine and Conquest joined in on the hug agreeing with War to come visit her.

Once the siblings had delivered their goodbyes, Death grabbed her Scythe and her backpack then waved to her brothers one last time. She then turned to walk to St. Peter who was waiting for her at the gates of Heaven.

As she approached, St. Peter looked looked up from his papers. "Okay Death, it looks like your all settled to make your way down to South Korea where the time is ten forty at night and the weather is just right."

Death chuckled and looked over the edge once more then back up to St. Peter. "Do you have any advice for me?" She asked.

St. Peter chuckled as he stamped Death's exit slip for her to leave. "I haven't been down there for almost a thousand years and have never been to South Korea. But I will tell you, things have changed."

Death chuckled and took her stamped exit slip. "Well, thanks anyways. Take care while I'm gone okay?"

"Be careful down there okay? The earth can be pretty cruel." St. Peter said putting a hand on Death's shoulder.

Death smiled. "Don't worry! I'll be home before you know it!" She said and backed away from St. Peter and waved.

St. Peter waved back as Death turned to face earth. As she waited, a golden staircase appeared before her leading down to earth.

Death turned to wave to her brothers and St. Peter one more time before climbing onto the railing and sliding all the way down.

"DEATH! YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO- ah whatever..." St. Peter tried yelling at Death for not correctly using the stairs but she was already on her way.

After about 20 minutes of sliding, Death finally reached Earth. She hopped off the staircase railing and looked back at it before it disappeared.

Death looked around at her surroundings. She seemed to have been placed in an ally way that was dark and vacant.

Quickly, Death took off her backpack, opened it, and slid her large scythe inside without a problem. Once it was inside her backpack, Death zipped it up, threw it over her shoulders, and began to walk down the streets of Korea.

It took Death a while to finally find a busy street, but once she had walked into the mass of people, she instantly regretted it. Death was shoved in every direction without anyone telling her that they were sorry. She closed her eyes to control her temper and tried to remember what God had told her before she had left:

"Remember Death, you've never been down to earth. So what humans do, do not let it anger you."

So there Death was, standing in the middle of the streets of Seoul all by herself. She soon decided that standing in the middle of the street would not help her find Wonwoo. So, she turned to the closet person she could find, a young girl.

Death tapped on her shoulder and the girl looked up but instantly backed away when she came into contact with Death's black eyes.

"Hello young girl! Its nice to meet you! I was wondering if you could help me? I am looking for someone named Jeon Wonwoo. Do you know where he might me located?" Death said showing her best and friendliest smile.

The girl snorted after hearing what Death had just said.

"Get in line. So many other girls want to meet Wonwoo too! What makes you think you are so special?" The girl said pushing past Death and walking off into the crowded street.

Death stood taken aback. Were all humans this inhuman? She decided to not let that girl offend her and started to walk around the city asking for help.

After about two hours of trying, Death finally plopped herself down on a bench in a park. For most of the night everyone she had asked for help about Wonwoo gave her dirty, annoyed, confused, and concerned looks.

She was about to just give up and plea to God about bringing her home when she overheard a conversation:

"Yeah! Their comeback is going to be great! I can't wait to see what concept they will have!"

"I agree! I wonder how they will dress Wonwoo this time! He looked so good last comeback!"

Death shot up from her bench. Those girls were talking about Wonwoo! She quickly grabbed her bag and ran after them.

"Hey! Excuse me!"
