"So how did you become a Grim Reaper?"
"Actually, I'm half and a half. I'm neither alive nor dead."
"I'm in the coma right now, my real body was at a hospital..."
It's been... almost a month since then. Looking back, it still felt like a strange dream. Getting into an accident, finding out that her temporary manager and her two bodyguards were actually grim reapers, seeing all of the new articles apologising to her for spreading false rumours about her...
Not to mention coming onstage for her own fanmeeting and seeing with her own eyes how she still had some fans who were still supporting her.
It all felt so surreal. After all of the negative treatment she had been receiving all these times, she almost lost hope that she could still make a comeback to the entertainment industry. That fanmeet back then, she was expecting it to be the last fanmeet she would have before she cease to become a singer and actress. But thankfully, it didn't turn out like that.
She owed it all to those three people. If not because of them, she probably wouldn't still be here now. Ryu Chohui... might have just disappeared without any trace if those people hadn't come to save her.
She probably wouldn't be able to see them again. At least, not anytime soon. And she didn't think that it would be wise for her to think again of suicide just to see Ms Gu and her team again. But perhaps, there was still one person that she could still see again.
It took quite some time for her to find him, amongst the old news articles in the past few months. Choi Junwoong, the young man who had jumped over a bridge to save another man. Afterwards, she ended up needing to convince her new manager and CEO to allow her to visit the man at the hospital.
It was all hard work on her part... but it had been worthwhile. Because she wants to see him again. No, she HAD to see him again.
Just so she could convince herself that everything that has happened so far was never a delusion she conjured in her delirium.

[Choi Junwoong]
Chohui's heart skipped a bit. His name was really written on that sign, just as he once told her. Now she only has to push the door open and step inside the hospital ward to see that person.
You can do it! Ryu Chohui!
Already, her mind started to invent many outcomes that would try to destroy her hope into pieces. What if the man inside turned out looking like a different person? What if she had been mistaken? What if the man inside turned out unlike what she imagined?
Chohui shook her head and hurriedly entered the ward. She gasped.
There weren't that many beds inside the ward, and most of them had been empty. But there was at least one patient in the room and the patient had looked no different than how she used to remember him before. Unlike how they met before, the man whom she used to know was currently lying unconscious in his bed, with wires and breathing apparatus attached to him... keeping him alive. Looking at him like this now, it was hard to believe that this young man had been the same lively person who had been supporting her at her side a month ago. Junwoong had looked so pale and frail, lying on the bed like this.
Chohui reached out a hand as her fingers grazed over the unconscious man's cheek.
"Nice to meet you again...Choi Junwoong-ssi."
