⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙ A winter’s day dream, SeolMong

⋆꙳•̩̩͙❅*̩̩͙‧͙ From Chapter 1 - 2 ‧͙*̩̩͙❆ ͙͛ ˚₊⋆

⋆❆⋆ Preview: The 14th department is suffering from extreme cold due to the climate in the otherworld. While everyone is having an equally hard day, Verine suffers from the flu and can barely fall asleep. However, in his dream, Verine discovers a secret to treat this cold….

✺✳ ┅ ⑅ ┅ ✳✺

⋆❆⋆ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏 : 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞

Verine: *cough cough*

[Due to the current abnormal climate beyond the underworld, severe cold waves have been plaguing daily life. Elderly people or people with weak health status are advised to refrain from going out, and pay special attention to maintaining their body temperature and their overall health.]

Quincy: “Ugh seriously! The sound of you coughing is so loud I’m gonna die!”

Verine: *Cough cough!* “It’s not like I want to cough either!” *cough cough*

Quincy: “Like this, this weakling is gonna pass his flu to me. I’ll have to change rooms or something!”

Verine: “Yeah yeah, you can move rooms as you wish-” *cough cough*

Quincy: “Oh? Even if I wasn’t allowed to, I would still do it!”

Verine: “Instead of being concerned that I got flu, he rather scolds me…..”

Verine: “I’ve been shut here for days and these moths…I’m so sick of it I can’t stand it.”

Verine: (....Let’s do some reading then.)

Mori: “Freeze! Why are you moving, Verine?”

Verine: “....Why I’m moving, you ask? Now I can’t even move freely in my own room?” *Cough cough cough!!!*

Mori: “Don’t tell me you’re coming my way?”

Verine: “....There’s a bookshelf behind you. I’m bored and wanna read some books but why are you-” *cough cough cough*

Mori: “Oops! Wait a second! I’ll first move to the other side and give you a sign, then come along, got it?”

Verine: “?!?!”

Mori: “Could you please keep a safe distance? Isn’t it too pitiful if I got the flu from you because we’re dormmates?”

Verine: “This really is annoying….”

Verine: “Forget it. I don’t even wanna read books anymore-” *cough cough cough*!!!

Verine: “Should I just disappear or something…”

Verine: (This is the worst….and the only person who truly cares for me is no one else but just Miss Manager- *cough cough!!* )

Verine: (But even she got sick and is resting….I’ve got no one now)

Even if I can’t open my eyes tomorrow, no one will care….

Because I’m useless no matter where I am anyway….

I wish I could just disappear like this

Verine: “Huh….where am I….”

Verine: “Ah..! The whole world is covered in snow….a dream?”

Everett: “How is it? Doesn’t your body feel much lighter?”

Verine: “Uh…who is this? Since you mentioned it, my body does indeed feel light.”

Verine: “I’m not even coughing…! I’m not even cold! What is happening?!”

Everett: “The effects of the ampoule appears immediately. People who used to be in poor health feel changes more quickly.”

Verine: “Ampoule?”

Everett: “Yes, it’s thanks to that ampoule you’re holding. With just one drop of this mysterious ampoule, you can overcome cold forever.”

Verine: “I can’t believe this…you’re saying it’s all because of this ampoule?”

Verine: (If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up.)

Verine: “I only have painful memories of my life. Wherever I went, I was looked down upon as a nuisance….”

Verine: “Even if this is a foolish and vain anticipation, it is what it is.”

Verine: “I’ll do anything to not be in pain like I always do. That’s why please…help me.”

Everett: “Is that so? Then please remember that I shall call you from now on.”

Verine: “!!!”

*Ssuk- ssuk*

[T/N: dream sequence ends, back to dorm]

Mori: “Ugh….who is up this early in the morning….”

Mori: “....Mr. Verine…?”

Mori: “Is he planning to spend this month so diligently?”

Mori: (This is my first time seeing him with such a serious expression….What on earth is he planning?)

*Ssuk-*

Mori: “Hmm, this is the note Mr. Verine was writing this morning. No one’s here so it’s not bad for me to take a peek, right~”

Mori: “Huh? What is this…”

35, 22, 34….

I can’t remember the last number, what was it again….

If I find out, I’ll be free from this tedious pain

Mori: “A lottery number?...Did Mr. Verine dream of the right number coming out…?”

Mori: “Or is it about a treasure hidden since a long time….”

Mori: “Oh well...smells like money, smells like money.”

[T/N: scene switches to the portal room]

Verine: “Cough, should I just type it here….”

This location is not registered in the portal. Please verify and re-enter.

Verine: “Ugh….I don’t care. I’m going anyway.”

Verine: “I’m done with people who don’t consider me, it’s over! C’mon, c’mon!”

Beep!

The portal is open. Caution. Unverified forced action may be considered as policy violation and may result in disciplinary action.

Verine: “Phew….finally now….”

Mori: “Where are you heading in such a hurry, Mr. Verine?”

Verine: *!!Cough, cough, cough!!!*

Verine: “Ack- hey- you scared me” *cough cough cough!!!*

Mori: “Why are you so scared? You hiding some treasure somewhere?”

Mori: “You’ll be free from pain if you go there, huh….”

Verine: “You read my notes?” *cough!*

Heading towards unregistered destination. Countdown 3- 2- 1-

Mori: “Mr. Verine, I don’t think it’s the time to be angry with me, portal’s opening soon.”

Verine: “!!!”

*Sssing-*

Verine: *cough cough cough*

Verine: “Ahhh-”

*Verine passes out*

Mori: “Ah, Mr. Verine, wake up!”

Mori: “Sigh….as expected, it’s gonna be a lot of work.”

Mori: “Even so, gotta be patient for a while until he leads me to the treasure at least.”

⋆❆⋆ 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐 : 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝

Verine: “Ugh….*cough* my head…where am I….”

Verine: (Oh my! It’s the place I saw in my dreams….it really is a real place!)

Mori: “Are you back? You were asleep for a while there.”

Verine: “Mori…? You followed me to here?”

Mori: “Follow? Mr. Verine should be grateful to me. What would you have done if it weren’t for me? You’d be already eaten by monsters.”

Mori: “This Mori has come here unnoticed.”

Verine: “You really followed me just because you thought you might find some sort of treasure here?”

Mori: “I wonder what unfortunate things you’re saying? I simply came here because I was afraid Mr. Verine would be stranded alone in a foreign land.”

Verine: “Sure….like weren’t treating me like a contagious bacteria just because I was coughing.”

Verine: “.....Forget it, what’s with the white outfit? Even a hood on your head.”

Mori: “This? We were wearing this as soon as we arrived here. Everything changed. Like a protective color barrier.”

Verine: “Protective color?”

Verine: (Now that I think about it, even in my dream, I was wearing white clothes like this……)

Mori: “Look around, this whole place looks like it’s filled with snow entities. We have to protect ourselves here.”

Mori: “That’s why, tell me the real reason you came here, Mr. Verine.”

Mori: “You have to tell me your purpose so I can help you with all I can.”

Verine: “.....”

Verine: “....Ampoule.”

Verine: “It’s because of the ampoule.”

Mori: “Ampoule?”

Verine: “I saw it in my dreams. If I went to the location of this coordinates, I could get an ampoule that will keep me out of cold forever.”

Verine: “Mori, just what are you thinking….”

Mori: “That’s all?”

Verine: *cough cough* “What did you think it was then?”

Mori: “Aha….”

Mori: “No, it’s nothing….”

Mori: (Now that it has come to this, I guess I’ll have to wind up something with ampoules. It looks like a seasonal business, if this climate continues….the profits might not be bad.)

Verine: “What is that smile…creepy.”

*step step step*

Verine: “Slow down! Slow- *cough cough*”

Mori: “Are you afraid the monsters will notice you? If it weren’t for the coughing, it wouldn’t have been very noticeable.”

Verine: (Ugh, look at this. He acted like he was caring for me but after finding out it was simply because of ampoule, he immediately shows his true colors. Give me a break.)

Verine: “Seriously so insensitive.”

*step*

Mori: (The monster turned its head…!)

Verine: *cough cough cough*

Mori: “It’s coming, it’s coming, it’s coming.”

Snow monster: *roar*

Verine: *cough*

Mori: (!!Mr. Verine!!)

Snow Monster: “Who are you…I’ve never seen this face before…”

Mori: “Please, please, please…!”

Verine: “Oh, hello- *cough* we came from an ice cave in the far north.”

Verine: “We’re not here to harm you, just to ask for help….can you help us if you don’t mind?”

Mori: (No what the heck are you thinking reaching out to a literal monster?)

Snow Monster: “That….”

Mori: “He's still?”

Mori: “He grabbed his hands?”

Snow Monster: “You don’t look like a danger….good.”

Verine: “....Thanks, *cough cough*”

Mori: (Friends all of a sudden?)

Mori: (No wait..! Where is the monster he’s supposed to be?)

Verine: “...Then can you guide us the way to the ampoule?”

Snow Monster: “I understand. Follow me grr….”

Mori: “Mr. Verine, wouldn’t it be better if you tell me that you already saw this in your dreams?”

Mori: “Who knew there would be such a non-aggressive monster?”

Verine: “Just because there’s no aggression towards some people doesn’t mean it doesn’t hold any aggression at all *cough cough*”

Mori: “Hah, is this what they mean by monsters also discriminate?”

Mori: (Great. Since it has come to this, I have no choice but to make the monster join my side too. Cooking up such a one-dimensional monster is a piece of cake for this Mori.)

Mori: “Mr. monster? It seems fate has made us meet like this. So, let’s be close buddies from now on, okay?”

Snow Monster: “Grr…go way!”

Mori: “Ack-”

Mori: (He’s even gritting his teeth.)

Verine: (...I wonder if even monsters can sense someone’s real intention. Right, those true colors- *cough cough*)

Mori: “Uh….”

Snow Monster: “Here grr…..”

Verine: “Wow…it’s an ampoule tree…”

Mori: “Woah, it looks much dazzling than I thought, huh?”

Verine: “It’s blinding *cough cough*”

Everett: “Hello. I heard you were looking for this ampoule.”

Verine: (It’s the person from my dreams..!)

Verine: “Yes, that ampoule- *cough cough*”

Everett: “Now, take this.”

Verine: “....You’ll give it to us this easily? Not even knowing who we are?”

Mori: (What are you doing, Mr. Verine? Don’t just touch a suspicious thing.)

Everett: “However, you look pretty tired. Where did you come from?”

Verine: *cough cough* “We came from an ice cave from far north….”

Everett: (Hmm, as far as I know, there’s no one there?)

Everett: “Ah, is Mr. Elliot okay there? I heard he was involved in an accident some time ago, I don’t know if he even recovered well. What kind of accident was it…”

Verine: “....accident…”

Mori: “Ah~~ Yes, now that you said it, we haven’t seen Mr. Elliot in a while. We’ll let you know about him as soon as we get back.”

[T/N: oh my god this liar hahaha]

Verine: “...Well then, I’ll gratefully accept the ampoule.”

*Everett grabs Verine*

Everett: (Wait, these guys are outsiders.) Verine: “!!!! *cough cough cough* !!”

[KR Translation] AfterL!fe Event Story

♡Warning!♡ This post contains the unreleased personal story from AfterL!fe.

◛⑅·˚ ༘ ♡I'm ready for you! Valentine

‿︵୨˚̣̣̣͙୧From Chapter 1 - 2 ୨˚̣̣̣͙୧‿︵

◛ Preview: Ghilley who was secretly preparing chocolate for the manager ahead of Valentine's Day runs into Noah in the kitchen. The two quietly start making chocolate but eventually get caught by other Soul Reapers. Will they be able to outrun the reapers' endless pursuit and deliver the chocolate safely to the manager?

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

◛ Chapter 1 : Should we do it together?

Ghilley: "Hmm."

*Sneak*

Ghilley: "Well, no one is going to be in the kitchen at this hour."

Ghilley: "Then, let's get started."

Ghilley: "First step is...."Boil the whipped cream." Hmm the whipped cream....whipped cream."

*Crushing noise*

Ghilley: "..."

Ghilley: "Who is there?"

Noah: "Uh..."

Ghilley: "..."

Noah: "Hi...Ghilley."

Ghilley: "I was wondering who it was, so it was Noah. Since when have you been there?"

Noah: "Um...from the start?"

Ghilley: "..."

Noah: "..."

Ghilley: "Fufufu...that chocolate..."

Ghilley: "Hahahaha!"

*run*

Ghilley: "Everyone, gather in the kitchen! Noah-"

Noah: "Wait! Hold on!"

Ghilley: "As they say, the tame cat is usually the first one to jump on the stove."

[T/N: This is a Korean proverb. A stove is where the food is cooked and a cat jumping on it and walking around it would make the area messy and dirty. Here, "tamed" means innocent looking so it basically means that the one who looked the least threatening could be the one to do something foul behind your back.]

Ghilley: "It is against the rules to make chocolate right before Valentine's Day."

Noah: "Hahaha. Against the rules? But it's just a chocolate though? I never said I would give it to anyone though?"

Ghilley: "If it isn't for the Mistress, then you wouldn't have come in so sneakily like earlier."

Noah: "Um..."

Ghilley: "Noah, have you forgotten our alliance?"

Noah: "Alliance?"

Ghilley: "It's no use pretending you don't know."

Ghilley: "Didn't we agree on 'No Chocolate'! You have now broken everyone's tacit rules!"

Noah: "Um, but didn't Ghilley too break it?"

Ghilley: "..."

Noah: "Boiling fresh cream, you're making homemade chocolate, aren't you?"

Ghilley: "This is why I don't like quick-witted people."

Noah: "So it's not just a problem with eyes...."

Ghilley: "Alright then. More than this, let's stay together until the chocolate is done."

Noah: "Good luck."

◛ Chapter 2 : Reason for avoiding

*Blast*

Noah: "Cough cough...! Ugh...! Again...!"

Ghilley: "Fufufu...! Ahahaha!"

Ghilley: "If you try to make it like fried rice, you'll never finish the chocolate, Noah."

Ghilley: (I thought he would be good at making chocolate because he sounded experienced about whipped cream but this is unexpected. Fufufu...)

Ghilley: "It's my victory."

Noah: "?! We were competing?"

Ghilley: "Oh my, stop saying it like you're not aware of it."

Noah: "What kind of chocolate did you make-"

Noah: "!? A statue?!"

Ghilley: "How is it? My chocolate statue that resembles Mistress' figure!"

Noah: "Is this really made from just the ingredients in the refrigerator?"

Ghilley: "Correct."

Noah: "But how can it be possible to make such gigantic statue?"

Ghilley: "Fufufu!!! Ahahaha!!!!"

Ghilley: "...."

Ghilley: "Are you holding back something?"

Noah: "Ahaha....."

Noah: "Yeah right, this is awesome....manager will be impressed too."

Ghilley: "...this is not fun."

Noah: "?"

Ghilley: "I'll show you how to boil."

Noah: "Really? Thanks!"

Ghilley: "Smiling like that doesn't work on me."

*Crackle Crackle*

Noah: "Haha."

Ghilley: "Why are you laughing?"

Noah: "When I think about it, it's funny."

Ghilley: "?"

Noah: "I'm making chocolate with the reaper who came to pick me up."

Noah: "I'm probably the only person in the world who has this kind of experience."

Ghilley: "....Accurate."

Noah: "Sometimes I wonder if the Soul Reaper that I saw for the first time is really you. Of course in a good way-"

Ghilley: "I don't know why you're suddenly bringing this up."

Noah: "Maybe it's because you've been avoiding me for so long?"

Noah: "I....what you said, I really appreciate it."

Noah: "So I thought we could get to know each other better....is it just me with this thought?"

Ghilley: "..."

Ghilley: "It was same with Nine but....Noah is the person I met as someone who became a soul reaper."

Noah: "?"

Ghilley: "I don't really have a good relation with people from past life."

Noah: "Ah...."

Noah: (So it's like some jinx or trauma...?)

Ghilley: "Now just for a little bit...."

*ssk-*

Noah: (When did he get that far away?!)

Ghilley: "Would you like to observe....."

Noah: "Understood so don't walk away after saying that. Feels like I'm hurt somehow."

Ghilley: "Fufufu, it's not like I'm gone far away. I just did my part and left...."

Ghilley: "Now let's pour the chocolate into the mold and let it harden."

Noah: "Ah, thanks."

Noah: "Also hey ghilley, what if I become a challenge to overcome? I don't think I'll have any resentment for you."

Ghilley: "Such active side of yours gets a point but before that, you have hardships to overcome."

Noah: "Hardships?"

Noah: (Wait, this is...)

Ghilley: "Prepare to escape!"

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Chapter 3-5 is now out, here !

Also I know I returned after so long, i'm sorry.
