Hinari has been ready to disappear for as long as she can remember. Bullied at school and alone at home, she lives in a quiet house filled only with echoes and the soft footsteps of her dog. With no one to lean on, she's learned to exist in the background - until the day she finnally wanted to give herself to Death. But something goes wrong. Ni-ki, a Grim Reaper who has guided souls for centuries, is cold, precise, and never distracted... except this time. A small, unexpected moment breaks the rules, and Hinari survives when she shouldn't have. Worse - or maybe more miraculous - she can now see him. Talk to him. Even reach out and touch the one being no living person is meant to perceive. Neither of them understands why. As Hinari begins to question the fate she once accepted, Ni-ki finds himself drawn back to her again and again, breaking laws older than time itself. What should have been a simple ending turns into a dangerous anomaly - one that threatens the fragile balance between life and death. Because when Death hesitates... the world starts to change. But... what happens when the Grim Reaper refuses to do his job? ──── ୨୧ ──── Paranormal AU Ni-ki x OC Impressive Rankings: ⌯⌲ #1 ONC26 ⌯⌲ #4 GRIMREAPER ⌯⌲ #3 OPENNOVELLACONTEST

「 ⩩ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 Iseul returns to take revenge on her ex-husband, Sunghoon, by making him fall for her again-only to shatter his heart in the process. But as revenge blurs with old feelings, will she choose vengeance or love? 」 ══════⊹⊱≼≽⊰⊹══════ But before she could fully embrace the bittersweet memory, the sound of footsteps broke the stillness. Sunghoon's voice-sharp, almost venomous-cut through the night air. "Iseul," he said, his tone dark with something she couldn't quite place, but the way it lingered in the air made her spine stiffen. She turned to face him, a quiet shock on her face as he approached, his steps deliberate, purposeful. His eyes, once familiar, were now cold, distant, like someone who had been buried too long under layers of resentment. He shook his head slowly, almost as if disappointed, and his words hit her like a blow to the chest. "I know what you're doing. The dress, the perfume, the act. I'm not the naive Sunghoon you used to know." Her heart skipped, the subtle warmth she had felt earlier quickly turning to ice. She felt exposed, laid bare. His gaze was relentless, and his words-sharp, barbed-dug into the soft places she thought she had hidden so carefully. "Sunghoon," she whispered, but he wasn't done. He let out a bitter laugh, devoid of humor, and the sound felt wrong. It wasn't the kind of laugh she remembered, the one that filled the air with lightness. This one was a rasp, full of contempt. "I know exactly why you're here," he said, his voice thick with disdain. "It's because I own all of this now."
