A Killer Love Story (Death)
죽여주는 연애사(死)
Synopsis
“Don’t tell me… you’re a Grim Reaper?”
I-joo has spent his whole life working himself to the bone—paying off debts, supporting his family, and living without a single holiday. A sudden terminal cancer diagnosis leaves him stunned, but things only get worse when a Grim Reaper arrives earlier than expected and he starts seeing ghosts.
If he wants to spend his remaining days in peace, he’ll have to stay under the Reaper’s protection…
How will their strange cohabitation unfold over the next four months?
“I told you to stay home.”
The low voice pierced the crown of I-joo’s head.
He spun around in shock—only to be more startled by the chest right in front of his nose. He stumbled back a few steps.
He couldn’t understand how the man who’d disappeared a hundred meters away was suddenly standing behind him, but that hardly mattered compared to the fact that some lunatic was chasing him as if to devour him.
This man could see it too. I-joo, trembling, pointed desperately behind him.
“Please, help me. Over there—there’s someone weird—!”
But the man only frowned slightly and looked down at him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I-I was just going to work—no, that’s not it—there’s someone chasing me like they’re going to eat me! And my, my, my body—my, my body is—”
His head was spinning too fast for words to come out right. Everything was pure chaos. Realizing he sounded like an idiot, I-joo took a deep breath and tried to collect himself.
Wait… if this isn’t a dream… does that mean this man really is a Grim Reaper?
The thought stopped him cold.
No—why am I even relieved? If he’s actually a Grim Reaper…
I-joo, who had been clinging to him like a lifeline, suddenly started backing away, inch by inch. Seeing him retreat after begging for help, the Reaper tilted his head slightly.
“You’d better come here.”
It sounded like a threat—like he might kill him right then and there.
