MOM AND KID

Hyun Jae is happy to see Eun Tak start to smile. Hyun Jae doesn't know what's wrong with her mother's best friend. But, she wants Eun Tak to smile and not waste her life especially by committing suicide.

"Eun, you just stay here. Just leave your house to sale off those debts," said Kim. Eun's eyes filled with tears. She was touched by Kim's kindness.

"You know, I almost had the urge to catch up with my husband. I feel like I'd rather just die. But, seeing your sincerity and Hyun's I get excited again. Thank you, Kim." Kim hugged her best friend tightly. Ah, she understood now why Hyun insisted on getting Eun to come along. Hyun must have seen something. Kim accidentally saw Hyun talking to something that was not seen when she was at Eun's house earlier. And this is for the umpteenth time.

In order to treat her curiosity, Kim approached her daughter. "Hyun, can we talk for a minute?" Kim asked. Hyun looked at her mother and smiled while nodding her head.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Hyun Jae asked.

"Hmm...what will happen if we leave Aunt Eun Tak alone at home?" Kim asked. Hyun Jae took a deep breath. She scratched her non-itchy nose. She was silent for a while as she looked at Kim doubtfully.

"Just talk, I won't be angry."

"I saw that Eun Tak's aunt was going in a bad way, Mom," Hyun Jae answered quietly. Kim closed her mouth. She shook her head.

"What is he going to do, Hyun?"

"Hanging herself, Mom. Even I saw the angel of death was shadowing her. So, I tried to prevent it. I'm sincere if the way is reasonable, Mom. Suppose because of illness. But, this..."

Kim hugged her daughter tightly. Slowly tears flowed down her eyes. Kim first learned that her daughter could see the invisible when Hyun was 2 years old. Hyun wept bitterly beside her sick grandmother. At that time, Kim asked, and Hyun replied that someone in all black had come to pick up Grandma. Kim didn't understand at the time. However, 3 days later her mother died. At that time, Hyun said the message her grandmother gave her. Kim doesn't believe it, but when Hyun Jae mentions something only she and her grandmother know, Kim believes it too.

Since then, Kim has never been surprised if Hyun was suddenly caught talking to herself. Kim knows that another spirit is with Hyun Jae. Likewise when her husband Won Shik died. At that time Hyun was 8 years old. Kim saw Hyun so sad. For the first time Kim saw Hyun talk seriously with something invisible. But, Kim did not expect that it was a grim reaper. Hyun may have seen him, but at that time Hyun was only 2 years old. That day Hyun begs Won Shik not to go to work. However, Won Shik keeps working and says he will be back. However, in the afternoon Kim got sad news. The building where her husband worked collapsed due to poor building foundations. Even though the building had just been completed and inaugurated.

Kim was devastated at that time. If only she supported her daughter to arrest Won Shik. Perhaps, at this time her husband would still be with them. Kim stroked Hyun Jae's hair gently.

"Are they still haunting your aunt now?" Kim asked. Hyun Jae shook her head.

"They're gone, Mom. Don't worry. Aunt Eun Tak will be fine now."

Kim sighed in relief. I'm very worried, dear. Aunt Eun Tak has been my best friend since I was little. I love her very much like my own sister. I will feel very sad if your aunt leaves like that. Ah, do you mind if your aunt stays? with us? Your aunt is having financial problems. So, your aunt's house will be sold. If it is sold she will have no place to live. You don't mind, do you?"

Hyun Jae smiled and kissed her mother's cheek gently. "Why should I mind? I'd be happy if Aunt Eun lived with us here. Auntie is good at cooking, hmm…" Hyun Jae rolled her eyes at her mother. Kim immediately squinted her eyes. She knew this girl was trying to tease her. "Aah, you mean your aunt's cooking is much better than mom's? I see? kya... Hyuun," Kim grumbled. Hyun Jae laughed out loud seeing Her mother pursing her lips. "I'm just joking, Mom. Your cooking is also delicious. The proof is I always finish my food, right?"

Kim chuckled and ruffled Hyun Jae's hair in annoyance. "Ah, I want to ask you again, what is the difference between the grim reaper and the spirit you usually see, Hyun?" Kim asked seriously. Hyun Jae frowned in thought. "Ordinary spirits, they dress like us, Mom. Some wore clothes when they died. There were even those whose clothes were still stained with blood. They fled from the angel of death, feeling that they still had work to do. As for the angels of death, if women they are wearing black and white after and black blazer. They are beautiful. While the men also wear all black clothes, ma'am. After black, white shirt with black tie, black pants and black coat. Looks dashing and handsome. It's just the fact they're mostly very annoying."

Kim laughed at Hyun Jae's words. "You are nothing, Hyun."

"I'm not lying, Mom. It's true like that. But, these grim reapers, can also look like ordinary humans, Mom. They have special pins. If they put the pin on them, humans can't see. But if they put off the pin, they can mingle with us, ma'am. It means they're not on duty. Yeah, like that, I don't understand either," Hyun Jae explained.

"Then how do you know how someone dies, Hyun? Did you see them or...?"

"If I touch the grim reaper's clothes, I will be able to see in what way the souls they took met their death. Just like I saw the death of my father before. Also when I saw how Aunt Eun was. That's because I touched the hem of their clothes.".

Kim nodded in understanding. "All right then. Well, since my beloved daughter has done well today. Then I will give you a present." "What is it ma'am?" "I'll cook your favorite egg roll as well as seaweed soup." Hyun Jae smiles with sparkling eyes. She also hugged Kim with a very happy feeling.
