Seoul Object Story

Late in the evening, the Golden Reaper sneaked into the institute through an open door and began to move quietly through the deserted corridors. With each step, it carefully tiptoed across the floor, as if playing a secret game.

In the middle of a dark hallway with only a few lights on, there was a space filled with bright light.

It was an administrative office open twenty-four hours a day.

Inside, an elderly man in charge of the office, who always gave the Golden Reaper Red Bean Paste Jelly with a warm smile, was dozing off with a tired face.

The Golden Reaper didn’t find Red Bean Paste Jelly very tasty, but it liked the elderly man because he made it feel warm and loved.

It would always jump on his shoulder and give him a little massage in return for the snacks. Sneaking around like this broke its heart.

Next time, I’ll give you two massages to make up for it!

Making this small promise, the Golden Reaper passed the management office at a brisk pace. Fortunately, the dozing old man didn’t notice the small shadow crossing the floor.

But then, an even bigger obstacle appeared. It was a large, human-filled room that it had to pass through to reach the human it loved.

Large items that made a humming sound filled the room, and people with blank expressions sat in front of them, groaning and looking tired.

Cheer up! I’ll play with you guys a lot next time!

The Golden Reaper didn’t know what the things in the room were, but since people started to fidget when it got close, they must be important, right?

It hid behind one of the items and began to slowly pass by, trying not to get caught.

“Hey. Hey, look at that. Aw.”

“Hmm, what’s up?”

Someone’s talking! If I move now, I’ll be caught! Hmm, until the humans stop talking, I have to stay still and wait for a chance.

“Jeez! Just come here. Look, look at that?”

“What? Hmm, wait… No way… Is it hiding? Aw~!”

The humans are whispering! They sound mischievous! Oooh, so humans also play around when they’re bored! Just like us!

“Hehe! It’s my first time seeing a Golden Reaper hiding like that.”

“Yeah, it’s so cute. Hmm, so we should pretend we didn’t see it, right?”

Huh? More and more humans were gathering… I can’t get caught!

“Everyone! Only take one picture each and disperse! Don’t you see the Reaper can’t move right now? Chop Chop!”

Click-! Click-!

Very strange noises rang in the room, then the humans began to disperse.

Phew, what a relief. I was just about to get caught!!

After that ‘click click’ sound, it seemed like the humans became happier.

Hmm, just what is that? Hehe! I’ll find out next time!
