let's start

The alarm rang, but no one stopped it.

After five minutes, the alarm rang again.

This time, a hand came out from under the blanket, searching for the phone. After finding it, the hand turned off the alarm and went back to sleep.

But a few seconds later, the blanket moved again. This time, a sleepy young man slowly poked his head out. His hair looked like someone had given him an electric shock. He stared at the wall, having no energy at all.

"...Why..." the young man spoke in a very slow voice, letting out a long sigh.

"Why do people have to wake up so early? Who even made this stupid rule?"

"Five more minutes... just five..."

But then he remembered that he had college today.

With another long sigh, he pushed the blanket aside and slowly sat up, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He felt far too lazy to go to college.

He quietly entered the bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush, and started brushing his teeth. Looking at the mirror, he gently touched his reflection and smiled.

"Wow... I'm so beautiful. Too bad I'm too busy studying to date someone (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿) "

After admiring himself for a few more seconds, he quickly washed his face and took a quick shower.

A few minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, got dressed, grabbed his bag, and hurried out of the house, locking the door behind him.

Just then, his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID.

Mom.

But A girl's voice came from the other side of the call.

"Brother!" the girl called excitedly.

"Min-seo?"

"Brother, please tell Mom! She doesn't want me to do it just because-"

Before she could finish her sentence, someone snatched the phone from her hand.

"Min-jae!" a woman's voice rang through the phone.

"Yes, Mom? And what was Min-seo saying?" Min-jae asked, sounding confused.

"Nothing. She's an idiot. Don't listen to her. Are you on your way to college?" his mother asked.

"Yes, Mom. I'm just on my way to grab something to eat, then I'll leave for college," Min-jae replied.

"Okay, okay. Study hard. If you need anything, just tell us. Bye-bye. Take care, baby. Love you."

Before Min-jae could reply, Min-seo's voice came from the other side again.

"Partiality! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) No one loves me!" Min-seo cried dramatically.

"Thank God you finally accepted that no one loves you," Min-jae teased his little sister.

"Hmph! You're the worst brother ever!" Min-seo shouted.

Min-jae chuckled.

"Bye-bye, Mom. Love you. Take care. And you too, brat. Take care. I'm hanging up now, or I'll be late."

With that, Min-jae ended the call.

After the call, Min-jae headed toward his regular café, where he had breakfast every morning.

"One sandwich and a banana milk," he said as he placed his order.

"I think you're going to be late for college again," the café worker, who had known Min-jae for a long time, said with a laugh.

"No. Time is just moving too fast," Min-jae replied lazily.

The café worker chuckled softly.

Min-jae took his breakfast and sat at an empty table. After finishing his meal, he grabbed his bag and made his way toward college.

Min-jae made his way toward the bus stop. He was glad he had arrived early.

He got on the bus and, luckily, even found an empty seat. Sitting down comfortably, he couldn't help but wonder why he was so lucky today.

He had woken up on time, gotten ready for college, eaten breakfast, and even caught the bus without rushing. Unlike every other day, today he wasn't in a hurry at all.

"...Is today my lucky day?" he muttered to himself with a small smile.

After thirty minutes, Min-jae arrived at his college and started walking toward his classroom.

Just then, he heard a loud voice from behind.

"Min-jae!"

The shout echoed through the hallway, making almost everyone turn to look at them.

Min-jae slowly closed his eyes, silently cursing the friend who had just embarrassed him in front of half the college. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and looked at Yuna with a fake smile.

He mouthed, "Wanna die, bish?"

Yuna immediately realized she had drawn way too much attention.

"Hehe... sorry," she said awkwardly, making an apologetic gesture before walking over to Min-jae. she casually threw an arm around Min-jae's shoulder as if nothing had happened.

The height difference between them wasn't much. Min-jae was about five centimeters taller, but Yuna was wearing heel today, making them almost the same height.

"Yuna, you're never going to change this habit of yours, are you?" Min-jae said irritably. "You could've just come over to me. Did you really have to shout?"

"Hehe... I'm sorry," Yuna replied with a sorry gaze . "But I just can't help it. You know me."

Then she smiled brightly and tugged at his sleeve.

"Come on, let's go to the classroom. Don't be so angry, my Min-jae," she said cutely.

Min-jae let out a helpless sigh before shaking his head with a small smile.

The two of them had been friends for many years. They were both Omega. and very close to each other.

The two of them entered the classroom and sat in their usual seats.

A few minutes later, another friend joined them.

"Morning," Lee Eun greeted as he walked over and sat beside them.

Lee Eun was also an Omega. The three of them had been close friends for years.

Min-jae sat in the middle, with Yuna on one side and Lee Eun on the other.

They chatted for a while until the teacher walked into the classroom. After taking attendance, the lecture finally began.

Unfortunately, today's lecture was painfully boring.

Yuna was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open, his head nodding every few seconds.

Lee Eun wasn't any better. He had secretly taken out his phone and was using it under the desk, hoping the teacher wouldn't notice.

As for Min-jae, he was actually trying to pay attention to the lecture. But no matter how hard he tried, his mind kept wandering, and he found himself getting distracted again and again.

He was feeling... something.It wasn't fear.It wasn't anxiety.It wasn't frustration either.

He just couldn't explain it. For some reason, since morning, he had this strange feeling that something was about to happen.

He frowned slightly but decided not to think too much about it.

Soon, the classes ended, and it was already evening

Min-jae said goodbye to both of his friends before making his way toward the bus stop.

Unfortunately, his luck seemed to have run out.

Just as he reached the bus stop, the bus pulled away right in front of him.

"...Seriously?" he muttered, watching it disappear into the distance.

He thought about calling a cab.

"Never mind... I'll just walk today."

Slipping his phone back into his pocket, Min-jae started walking home.

After walking for a while, he reached a busy street where a lively night market had already started.He thought to go and look around for a while.

The street was crowded with people. Food stalls were everywhere.

Min-jae kept walking through the street market. On the way, he bought an ice cream and ate it while looking around at the different stalls.

As he wandered around, something suddenly caught his eye.

It was a small shop selling all kinds of accessories and little decorations. It wasn't too old, but it wasn't exactly new either.

Among all the items on display, one ring immediately grabbed his attention.

Its design wasn't modern or fashionable, but for some reason, Min-jae liked it the moment he saw it.

Without thinking much, he walked into the shop.

As soon as Min-jae entered the shop, he saw the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter, lazily reading a book. He looked completely bored.

Min-jae glanced at the book and thought, Wow... I've already read that one.

He walked over and picked up the ring.

"Uncle, how much does this ring cost?" he asked.

The shopkeeper slowly looked up from his book and replied,

"Fifty rupees....wait uncle Σ(゜゜)"

"Fifty rupees?!" Min-jae exclaimed. "Are you kidding me, Uncle?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened.

"Uncle? (┛✧Д✧))┛" He pointed at himself in disbelief. "Boy, I'm only thirty-nine!"

"I don't want to know your age," Min-jae interrupted. "Just tell me, why is this ring fifty rupees? It's not even fashionable. Isn't this a bit of a scam?"

"Hey!" the shopkeeper protested. "Are you buying it or not?"

"Of course I want to buy it," Min-jae replied. "But you have to lower the price. Otherwise, I'm leaving."

The shopkeeper looked at the ring and thought.

No one has bought this ring for so many days... he thought. Now that someone finally wants it...

With a sigh, he asked, "Fine. How much are you willing to pay?"

"Ten rupees."

"..."

The shopkeeper stared at him.

"At that price, you might as well take it for free."

"Oh?" Min-jae raised an eyebrow. "What kind of thoughts are you having, mister? Why would I take it for free?"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes.

"Kid, don't think weird things, okay? I'm saying you're only offering ten rupees. At that point, I might as well give it away."

Min-jae folded his arms.

"Ten rupees. Final offer. Are you selling it or not?"

The shopkeeper stayed silent for a few moments before finally waving his hand.

"Fine, fine. Take it."

Min-jae was actually proud that he learn bargaining from his mother.

Min-jae happily handed over the ten rupees.

The shopkeeper packed the ring in a small box and gave it to him.

Min-jae looked at the ring one last time, smiled with satisfaction, and walked out of the shop.

The moment he disappeared into the crowd, the shopkeeper slowly looked toward the door.

A strange smile appeared on his face.

"Heh..."

.

.

.

Min-jae reached home after looking around the market.

He entered the apartment, threw his bag onto the sofa, placed the bag containing the ring on the table, and lazily sat down on the sofa.

Taking out his phone, he scrolled through it for thirty minutes. Then he put it aside and walked toward the bathroom to wash his hands.

After washing up, he came out and headed to the kitchen to make dinner.

He was too lazy to cook, but he wanted to stay healthy. Since he couldn't make healthy food in the morning or at lunchtime because of college, he always tried to eat a healthy dinner.

So, he went into the kitchen and made something for dinner.

After cooking, he ate while lazily scrolling through his phone. He also chatted with his friends in their group chat.

After finishing his meal, he walked to the kitchen, washed the bowl and dishes, and cleaned everything up.

Then he entered the bathroom, took a nice shower, and came out wearing a loose, comfortable nightdress.

After that, he started working on his college assignments.

An hour later, after finishing his college work, he walked into his bedroom.

Just then, his eyes fell on the ring he had bought from the market.

He picked it up and took it with him into the bedroom.

Min-jae jumped onto the bed and took out the ring.

He looked at it for a moment and smiled.

"It's beautiful. It would look good on my hand. Let me try it on and take a selfie to send to my friends."

After saying that, he put the ring on his finger.

It actually looked really good on his hand.

He took selfies from different angles and sent them to his friends, saying,

"Look what I got! Such a beautiful ring at such a cheap price."

After that, he checked the time.

"It’s already so late..."

He put his phone aside and went to sleep.

An hour later, while Min-jae was fast asleep, the ring suddenly began to shine.

A golden light slowly spread from it.

Of course, Min-jae didn't wake up. He was such a sleepyhead.

Then, a smoky figure slowly emerged from the ring.

Min-jae shifted around in his sleep. Suddenly, feeling as if someone was staring at him, he woke up.

His heart started beating fast.

He had just dreamed that someone was watching him.

He sat up, grabbed the glass of water from the bedside table, and took a few sips.

Just as he was about to lie down again, his eyes landed on a person standing quietly in front of him.

Min-jae blinked once.

Then twice.

His eyes widened.

"AHHHHHHH!!"

The person looked at him calmly and smiled.

"Oh, my wifey, you're awake."

Min-jae froze.

"W-Wifey...?" he repeated in disbelief.

The next second, his vision went black.

He fainted.

" I'm that scary? " the person was confused

.

The next morning, Min-jae slowly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

"It must've been a dream... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠) Such a weird dream..."Still lying on the bed, he continued staring blankly at the ceiling.

Suddenly...A face popped up right above him.

Min-jae blinked once.His eyes widened."AHHHHHHH!! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!"

The person immediately covered his ears and frowned.

"Why the heck are you shouting so much? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)" he said with an annoyed expression.

Min-jae stared at him for a few seconds."W-Weren't you supposed to be a dream...? (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)"

The next second...His eyes rolled back.

"Ugh... (⁠×⁠_⁠×⁠)"

well. (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

He fainted again.

The mysterious man looked down at him and let out a helpless sigh."...Seriously? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

.

.

.

.

About twenty minutes later, Min-jae slowly opened his eyes again.

The moment he opened them, he saw the same person standing in front of him.

Before he could scream again, the mysterious man quickly raised his hand.

"No! Don't shout! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) And please don't faint again. You've already done it twice."

Min-jae blinked at him.

"Then what am I supposed to do? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠) You're a strange man... No, wait... you look transparent. Are... are you a ghost?"

The mysterious man blinked.

"Why are you asking such an obvious question? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Min-jae's face turned pale.

"Oh... my... God... (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)"

His vision started spinning.

"I... I feel dizzy... (⁠×⁠_⁠×⁠)"

Thud.

He fainted again.

The mysterious ghost stood there in complete silence.

"... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

He was too speechless to say anything.

.

.

.

.

About twenty minutes later, Min-jae slowly opened his eyes again.

This time, before Min-jae could react, the ghost quickly spoke.

"Okay, okay! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Don't be afraid. I'm not going to eat you, and I'm not going to do anything to you. Just calm down. And please don't faint again. I'm getting too bored! (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Min-jae, who had just woken up, started feeling dizzy again after hearing all that.

He held his head and muttered,

"What time is it...? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

He still couldn't believe what was happening.

"This... this has to be a dream."

To make sure, he pinched his arm as hard as he could.

"Ouch! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

His skin immediately turned red.

"I-It's not a dream... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

"Of course it isn't," the ghost replied. "(⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠) Now let me explain everything. You don't have to be afraid."

Although he sounded calm and patient, deep inside he was already getting annoyed.

After all, he didn't want Min-jae to faint for the fourth time.

This time, Min-jae didn't faint.

The ghost let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) You stayed conscious."

He cleared his throat.

"So... should we introduce ourselves first, or should I explain how I appeared here?"

Min-jae, who was still feeling a little dizzy, held his forehead and replied,

"Just... tell me why you suddenly appeared here. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

"Yeah, good, good." The ghost nodded happily. "(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

"But before that..." he said, raising one finger dramatically.

"Let me tell you my name first. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

The ghost cleared his throat proudly.

"My name is Lee Jiwon Aster von Elarion. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

Min-jae stared at him for a few seconds before shaking his head.

"Absolutely not. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠) I'm calling you Jiwon."

"That's disrespectful. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" Jiwon replied.

Min-jae rolled his eyes.

"Your name has enough words to fill out a government form. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Jiwon straightened his posture proudly.

"I am His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Lee Kingdom, Commander of the Silver Legion, Protector of the Northern Kingdom. I also hold the titles of Duke, Lee Jiwon Aster von Elarion, the rightful heir to—"

Before he could finish, Min-jae quickly raised his hand.

"Pause. (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠) Your name is that long?"

"You may address me by my full name," Jiwon said proudly.

"I'm absolutely not doing that. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)" Min jae said.

"It is proper etiquette. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

"It takes longer to say your name than it takes to order food. (⁠-_-)"

"At least try," Jiwon insisted.

Min-jae looked at him with a completely done expression.

"Lee... Jiwon... Aster... von... Potato. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

Jiwon froze.

"...Potato? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Min-jae smiled innocently.

"You have too many names. (⁠人⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)"

Just then, laughter suddenly echoed through the room.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Min-jae looked around in confusion.

"W-What was that...? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

He immediately started getting scared again.

Jiwon frowned and shouted,

"Shut up before I kill you all! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Suddenly, two or three ghosts appeared out of nowhere.

One of them laughed and said,

"Your Highness... we're already dead. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

The other ghosts burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! I can't believe what I just heard! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Min-jae's eyes widened.

"W-What...? (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)"

He began feeling dizzy again.

Jiwon immediately noticed.

"Hey, hey, hey! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Don't faint again! Please!"

Min-jae took a deep breath and somehow managed to stay conscious.

Jiwon let out a sigh of relief.

"You've gained the ability to see ghosts now."

"...What? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

"Yes. I'll explain everything, but before that..." Jiwon paused.

"Tell me your name."

Min-jae was still feeling dizzy, but he answered,

"My name is... Kang Min-jae. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Jiwon smiled.

"Oh. That's a nice name. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)"

Jiwon took a deep breath.

"So, here's what happened. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"I'm a ghost, and these people are ghosts too."

The other ghosts waved at Min-jae.

"Hi~! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Jiwon ignored them and continued,

"I'm not from this era. I'm from ancient times. My era was completely different."

"After you bought that ring and wore it, you activated the contract."

"My spirit was sealed inside that ring."

"Whoever wears that ring becomes my wife, and I become their husband."

He pointed at Min-jae.

"You're an Omega, and I'm an Alpha."

"So... we're actually husband and wife now. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

"And as for how I ended up inside the ring..." Jiwon sighed.

"After I died, a stupid mage sealed my soul inside it."

.

.

.

Far away...

"Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"

Someone suddenly sneezed twice.

"...Someone must be talking about me."

.

.

.

Back in Min-jae's room...

"What...? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)" Min-jae asked blankly.

"Yes," Jiwon replied with a nod. "Unfortunately, we're married."

"I didn't want to get married either, but it is what it is."

He clapped twice.

Clap! Clap!

A glowing contract suddenly appeared in front of them.

Jiwon handed it to Min-jae.

"Read it."

Min-jae took the contract with trembling hands.

It read:

Marriage Contract

By wearing the Ring of Destiny, Alpha Lee Jiwon Aster von Elarion and Omega Kang Min-jae are now bound together in marriage.

This marriage has been blessed by the Gods.

Neither party may break this marriage.

 this moment onward, they are husband and wife.

Min-jae's eyes grew wider and wider.

They looked as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

The three ghosts burst into laughter."Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Jiwon immediately glared at them.

"Don't laugh at my wife. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

One of the ghosts raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't you say just a few seconds ago that you didn't want to marry him? (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

"And now you're calling him 'my wife.' Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

The other ghosts joined in, teasing Jiwon without mercy.

Meanwhile, Min-jae looked at them...

Then at the contract...Then back at them...Then at the contract again.

The contract slowly slipped from his hand.

"...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Thud.

He fainted once again.

The room instantly fell silent.

Jiwon covered his face with one hand.

"...Not again. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

.

.

.

This time, Min-jae didn't wake up after twenty or thirty minutes.

Instead, he slept until the afternoon.

He was finally awakened by the sound of his phone ringing.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jiwon standing in front of him as if he were protecting him from something.

Of course, Min-jae knew Jiwon couldn't actually touch anything.

Jiwon turned around and noticed that Min-jae was awake.

He pointed at the phone, which was still ringing.

"This thing has been making such a weird sound. (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠) What is it? Is it some kind of monster? Or is it magic?"

Min-jae stared at him for a few seconds.

Right... he's from ancient times. Of course he doesn't know what a mobile phone is.

"It's a mobile phone," Min-jae explained. "You can use it to talk to other people."

"Anyone? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)" Jiwon asked in surprise.

"Yes. Well... if the other person also has a mobile phone."

"Mobile... phone..." Jiwon repeated slowly, trying to remember the strange words.

Min-jae picked up the phone and answered the call.

The moment he answered, a loud voice came from the other side.

"Min-jae! My love, my darling, my baby! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Why didn't you come to college today? Did something happen? Are you sick? Do you want me to come over?"

Min-jae glanced at Jiwon before replying,

"No, I'm okay. I just slept late last night, so I couldn't wake up."

"I have something to do right now. I'll call you later."

After saying that, he hung up the call.

Then he looked at Jiwon.

"Where are the other ghosts?"

Jiwon answered calmly,

"They're gone."

.

.

.

After Min-jae had fainted, the other ghosts were still laughing.

Jiwon had looked at them and said,

"Leave."

Then he chanted a short spell.

In the next second, all three ghosts disappeared.

"I've placed a barrier around this house," Jiwon explained. "No ghost can enter this place without my permission."

.

.

 .

Back in the present...

"They won't be coming back," Jiwon said.

Min-jae nodded.

"Okay... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Min-jae looked at Jiwon, who was standing in front of him, and let out a small sigh.

"I've already calmed down... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠) So, can you explain everything again?"

Jiwon thought for a moment.

I guess it's difficult for humans to believe in ghosts... (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

He took a deep breath.

"So... I'm a ghost. My name is Lee Jiwon Aster von Elarion— (⁠✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)"

"Pause. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" Min-jae interrupted.

"I already know your name. Just tell me about this marriage contract."

Jiwon's shoulders dropped.

"...(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

He felt a little disappointed. He had been interrupted before he could even finish introducing himself.

Still, he cleared his throat and continued.

"After my death, a stupid mage sealed my soul inside this ring. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"This ring happened to be a marriage ring."

"Whoever wears it enters a marriage contract with me."

"And you're the first... and only person who has ever worn it."

"So after all these years, I was finally able to return to this world. Before this, I was trapped in the Spirit World."

He looked at Min-jae.

"So now we're married.You're an Omega, and I'm an Alpha.I'm your husband. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)Well... before anything else, there's something I want to say."

"I also want to say something. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" Min-jae spoke at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other.

"You go first. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)" Jiwon said politely.

"No, you go first. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)" min jea

"No, you." jiwon

"I said you." min jae

"No, you." jiwon

"I said you means you! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)" min jae

"And I said you! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" jiwon

Min-jae's eyebrow twitched."I SAID YOU!! Don't make me repeat myself! (⁠╬⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

Jiwon blinked."...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

For the first time since meeting Min-jae...

The mighty Crown Prince looked a little scared.

[Author's Note : Bottom power 💪ᕦ(͡°͜ʖ͡°)ᕤ]

Back to the story...

Jiwon coughed awkwardly."...Why don't we both say it together? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Min-jae sighed helplessly."...Fine. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

They took a deep breath.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

Then both of them shouted at the exact same time—

"I WANT A DIVORCE!!! (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻"

The room fell completely silent.

"... (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

.

.

.

The two of them looked at each other.

Jiwon crossed his arms and frowned.

"...Why do you want a divorce? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

He looked at himself proudly.

"I'm so handsome! (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) Look at my face, my beautiful eyes, my handsome body... and my six-pack!"

He was about to unbutton his shirt.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠💦" Min-jae quickly stopped him.

"And what do you mean by that? (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)I can ask you the same question, okay?I'm a beautiful Omega(⁠✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)So many people have confessed to me!Then why are you asking for a divorce?"

Both of them looked disappointed.

How could someone want to divorce someone as amazing as me? They both thought at the same time.

Jiwon let out a sigh."So... we both want a divorce. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Min-jae nodded."Yeah."

"...Then how are we supposed to get divorced? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)" Min jae ask

Jiwon scratched his head."I don't know. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

"I'll have to search for a way."

"So... what do we do now?" Min-jae asked.

Jiwon shrugged helplessly."We can't do anything for now.I'll search in the Spirit Library."

Min-jae blinked."There's a Spirit World... and even a Spirit Library? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Jiwon nodded proudly."Of course.And I think you've gained the ability to see ghosts now.So you might even be able to enter the Spirit Library because your husband is a ghost. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

Min-jae ignored the word husband.

His eyes sparkled with excitement."Really? (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

Things like this only happen in novels... and now it's happening to me!

"When can we go?" Min jae

"I still need permission from the Gods first. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)" jiwon

Min-jae looked confused."Didn't you say you're a prince?"

Jiwon looked at him with a done expression."I was the Crown Prince during my time on Earth. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

"Not in the Spirit World, okay?"

"...Although I still hold a very high position there." He puffed out his chest proudly. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Min-jae looked at him with a completely unconvinced face.

"...Sure. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"I'm telling the truth! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)" Jiwon protested.

Before Min-jae could reply, his stomach suddenly growled.

"Grrr..."

He quickly held his stomach."Ah... I'm hungry. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

He stood up and hurried toward the bathroom.

Before entering, he turned around and pointed at Jiwon.

"I know you can pass through walls and go anywhere, but don't come into the bathroom! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Jiwon rolled his eyes."I'm not that kind of man, okay? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)And I'm not interested in you at all."

Min-jae froze.

"...(⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)"

What did he just say...?

So many people like me...

And this ghost... this idiot... this handsome ghost... actually said he's not interested in me?! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)

Min-jae made a face that clearly said, How can you even say that to me...? (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)

But he didn't argue anymore.

"Hmph! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

He turned around and went straight into the bathroom.

After freshening up, he came out and walked toward the kitchen.

Since he usually ate breakfast outside, there wasn't much food at home.

So, he decided to make instant noodles.

While Min-jae was cooking, Jiwon stood nearby, watching everything with curiosity.

After a while, he pointed at the microwave.

"How does this thing work? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

"What kind of object is this?"

Min-jae looked at him.

"The microwave?"

Jiwon nodded.

"There's no fire... so how is the food getting cooked? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

He stared at the microwave with wide eyes."...This is magic. (⁠✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)"

Of course, that night, Min-jae tried to take the ring off.

He pulled it again and again.

But it wouldn't come off.

Jiwon looked at him and said,

"I already told you. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠) You can't remove that ring."

The ring fit perfectly on Min-jae's ring finger.

It didn't fit on any of his other fingers.

Coincidentally... or perhaps not...

It fit perfectly on the ring finger, just like a wedding ring.

Min-jae noticed that Jiwon also had the same ring on his own ring finger.

"...(⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

The next morning, Min-jae got ready for college.

He grabbed his bag and was about to lock the door.

Just as he turned around...

He saw four ghosts standing there, staring at him.

"(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!"

Min-jae almost screamed.

But this time, he managed to calm himself down.

Taking a deep breath, he muttered,

"...I'm getting used to this. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Just then, Jiwon walked straight through the closed door.

"What the hell are you all doing here? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

The other ghosts burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)" ghosts

One of them stepped forward.

"Crown Prince, can your wifey do ghost services? (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)" ghost 1

"If he can, then please, please, please let him help us! (⁠人⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)" 2

Min-jae was completely speechless."...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Jiwon was equally speechless."...(⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Of course, Jiwon chased the other ghosts away.

After that, Min-jae left for college.

As he was walking, he suddenly noticed Jiwon following him from behind.

He turned around irritably.

"What the hell? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠) Why are you following me?"

Jiwon rolled his eyes.

"It's not like I want to follow you. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)I can only move about three meters away from you because you're wearing my ring.So I have no choice."He said it with an equally irritated expression.

Just then, five or six people passing by stopped and looked at Min-jae strangely.

After all...

From their point of view...

Min-jae had suddenly turned around and started talking to thin air.

One student whispered,

"Isn't that Kang Min-jae?"

Another replied,

"...Has he lost his mind? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Only then did Min-jae realize what everyone was seeing.

"...Oh no. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

His face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

Without saying another word, he turned around and hurried away as fast as he could.

Jiwon simply floated after him."I told you. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)Only you can see me and the other ghosts.So you'd better stop talking to me outside.Otherwise, everyone will think you're crazy. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

He finished with a teasing smile.

Min-jae clenched his fists.

"...Shut up. (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

With an irritated mind, Min-jae entered his classroom.

His two friends, Lee eun and Yuna, waved at him happily.

"Good morning! (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

Min-jae walked over to them.

"Morning. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

He sat down in his usual seat.

It was obvious from his face that he wasn't in the mood to talk.

Lee-eun and Yuna exchanged a glance.

They had known Min-jae for years, so they immediately understood.

Better not disturb him... unless we want to die by Min-jae's hands. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

The two of them wisely stayed silent.

After a while, the professor entered the classroom and began the lecture.

Meanwhile...

Jiwon was standing right behind Min-jae, watching him write in his notebook.

"So this is your academy...? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

"It looks similar to the place where people studied during my era."

The lecture continued.

Min-jae listened while taking notes.

Sometimes he couldn't understand what the professor was explaining.

Jiwon clicked his tongue.

"You can't even understand something this simple? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Min-jae ignored him.

A few minutes later...

"Seriously? You still don't get it?" Jiwon whispered.

"You really have a dumb brain. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Min-jae gritted his teeth.

Ignore him... Ignore him...

"You call yourself a college student? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

Suddenly, the professor asked a question.

The entire classroom fell silent.

No one raised their hand.

At that exact moment—

"EXCUSE ME!! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

Min-jae suddenly stood up and shouted.

The whole class turned to look at him.

Even the professor smiled.

"Excellent, Min-jae." (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

"Please answer the question."

Min-jae froze.

He slowly looked at the professor...

Then at the question on the board...

Then at Jiwon...

Jiwon immediately looked away, pretending he had nothing to do with it.

"...(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

A second later, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Of course, nobody else could see or hear him.

Only Min-jae could.

Min-jae forced an awkward smile.

"Professor... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

"May I go to the washroom?"

For a second...

The classroom was completely silent.

Then—

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The way Min-jae had stood up made it seem like he was confidently about to answer the question.

Instead...

He had only asked to go to the washroom.

The professor rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"...Yes. You may go. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"Thank you, Professor."

Min-jae quickly walked out of the classroom.

A few minutes later...

He entered the washroom.

Since everyone was still in class, the washroom was empty.

Naturally, Jiwon floated inside as well.

The moment Min-jae saw him, he turned around angrily.

"Can you please keep your mouth shut?! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)You're so annoying!Don't disturb me during class!"

Jiwon crossed his arms."I wasn't disturbing you. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)You just couldn't focus.Don't blame me."

Min-jae sighed helplessly."...Fine. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)It was my fault.So please...Don't disturb me during class anymore.You said you can stay three meters away from me, right?Then stay outside the classroom! (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Jiwon simply shrugged."...I'll think about it. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

After calming down, Min-jae and Jiwon returned to the classroom.

This time, Jiwon didn't stand behind Min-jae.

Instead, he wandered around the classroom, curiously looking at what the other students were doing.

Some students were secretly using their mobile phones under the desk.

Jiwon watched in amazement.

"So... people can actually move inside this little box? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

He stared at the screen with great interest.

How strange...

"I'll ask Min-jae about it tonight. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

Soon, the next lecture began.

The professor continued teaching as usual.

At first, Jiwon stayed quiet.

But after a few minutes...

He couldn't help himself.

He floated back to Min-jae.

"You still don't understand? (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"You really are slow."

Min-jae clenched his pen tightly.

Ignore him...

"You even write slowly. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Ignore him...

"I've seen turtles learn faster than you. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Min-jae's eye twitched.

Just then, the professor asked,

"Can anyone define this term?"

At that exact moment, Jiwon whispered again,

"Go on. You don't even know the answer. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

Min-jae finally lost his patience.

"CAN YOU SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES?! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

The entire classroom fell silent.

"..."

Every single student slowly turned to look at Min-jae.

Even the professor was speechless.

Only then did Min-jae realize...

He hadn't whispered.

He had shouted it out loud.

"...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

He slowly stood up.

"Professor... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

"I-I wasn't talking to you..."

The professor narrowed his eyes.

"Really? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

"Then who exactly were you talking to?"

Min-jae opened his mouth...

"..."

Then quietly closed it again.

He couldn't exactly say,

"A ghost has been annoying me since morning."

The professor let out a deep sigh.

"Min-jae."

"Stand outside the classroom until the lecture is over."

"...Yes, Professor. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

With his head lowered in embarrassment, Min-jae picked up his notebook and slowly walked out of the classroom.

Behind him...

Jiwon tried his best not to laugh.

"...Pfft."

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

at luncht

As the three of them sat down in the cafeteria, Yuna and Lee Eun looked at Min-jae with worried expressions.

"What happened to you? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)" Yuna asked.

"You've been acting so strangely since this morning."

Lee Eun nodded.

"Yesterday you were happily showing off your new ring, and today you're in such a bad mood. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Yuna suddenly grabbed Min-jae's hand.

"Let me see the ring."

She tried to pull it off.

But no matter how hard she tried...The ring wouldn't move.

"Huh...? (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"She pulled again.

Still nothing.

Min-jae quickly smiled awkwardly."Oh... it got stuck on my finger. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)Oh my God!" Lee Eun exclaimed.

"Come on! I know a way to take it off!"

"Let's go after class!" Yuna agreed excitedly.

Min-jae and Jiwon exchanged a glance.

Both of them already knew...

The ring wasn't coming off.

"It's okay." Min-jae laughed awkwardly.

"I'll deal with it when I get home."

"Don't worry about it."

"Let's just eat."

The two of them finally dropped the topic.

After lunch, the remaining classes passed by quickly.

Soon, it was evening.

Min-jae packed his bag and headed home.

This time, instead of taking the stairs, he entered the elevator.

Naturally...

Jiwon followed him inside.

The elevator doors closed.

A few seconds later, it started moving.

Jiwon's eyes widened.

"W-What is this?! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

"This room is moving!"

He looked around in shock.

"Did we just teleport somewhere?! (⁠✧⁠ω⁠✧⁠)"

"This era is incredible!"

He looked at Min-jae with sparkling eyes.

"Tell me! Tell me! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

"What kind of magic is this?"

"What academy did you study at?"

Min-jae looked at him with a completely exhausted expression.

"...(⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

"It's called an elevator."

"It helps people go up and down buildings."

"It doesn't teleport anyone."

"It's technology."

"Humans created it."

"There isn't any magic involved."

His tone was flat.

Jiwon blinked.

"...Oh. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

He immediately understood that Min-jae wasn't in the mood to talk.

Even though he still had countless questions...

He quietly kept them to himself.

The rest of the elevator ride passed in silence. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)

Min-jae and Jiwon entered the apartment.

The room was completely silent.

Min-jae was too tired to argue with anyone.

Jiwon noticed the exhausted look on his face.

...This isn't the right time to tease him. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)

Let me be a good husband for once.

For the rest of the evening, he didn't say a single word.

After freshening up, Min-jae made a simple dinner.

He ate quietly, finished washing the dishes, and went straight to bed.

He was so tired that he fell asleep almost immediately.

Jiwon, on the other hand, had nothing to do.

He crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

I should go to the Spirit World and look for information about divorce. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

With that thought, he clapped twice.

Clap! Clap!

A golden magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

In the next second, he disappeared.

...

The Spirit World.

Jiwon arrived in a magnificent place filled with floating buildings and glowing lights.

He walked toward the Spirit Library, where countless books were neatly arranged on endless shelves.

A ghost librarian was organizing books behind the counter.

Jiwon walked over.

"I have a question."

The librarian looked up.

"Go ahead."

"Can a ghost and a human who are married get divorced?"

The librarian froze.

"...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

He stared at Jiwon for a long moment.

"Are you... serious?"

"Of course I am."

"It's a long story."

The librarian rubbed his forehead.

"I've heard of ghosts marrying ghosts..."

"But a ghost marrying a human?"

"...That's a first."

He thought for a while before answering.

"I honestly don't know."

"If your spouse were another ghost, you could apply to the Spirit Court."

"But since your spouse is a human..."

He shook his head.

"I've never seen a case like this."

"You can still submit an application to the Spirit Court and ask for their judgment."

"As for the answer..."

He pointed toward the countless bookshelves.

"You'll have to search the library yourself."

Jiwon nodded.

"I understand."

Just as he was about to leave, he stopped.

"One more question."

The librarian looked at him again.

"Can I bring my human wife into the Spirit World?"

The librarian almost dropped the book in his hands.

"...You literally have a human wife?! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Jiwon coughed awkwardly.

"...It's a long story."

"So... is it possible?"

The librarian thought for a moment.

"...Well..."

"If she's legally bound to you by a Spirit Marriage Contract..."

"Then yes."

"She should be able to enter the Spirit World with you."

The librarian took out a scroll and began writing.

He carefully wrote:

Lee Jiwon Aster von Elarion is granted permission to bring his human spouse into the Spirit World.

He stamped the document and handed it to Jiwon.

"Show this at the Spirit Gate."

"There won't be any problems."

Jiwon accepted the permission letter.

"Thank you."

With another wave of magic, he returned to the apartment.

By the time he arrived...

It was already morning.

Time flowed differently in the Spirit World than it did in the human world. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Jiwon was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom when Min-jae slowly woke up.

The moment Jiwon saw him, he became excited.

"I have something important to tell you! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

Min-jae simply raised one hand.

"Bathroom first. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Without waiting for another word, he walked into the bathroom.

Jiwon blinked.

"...Right."

"That's natural. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

He quietly sat back on the sofa and waited.

About thirty minutes later, after taking a long shower and getting ready, the bathroom door opened slightly.

Only Min-jae's head popped out.

"Can you please leave the bedroom? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

"I need to change my clothes."

Jiwon suddenly had a dangerous thought.

So... he's not wearing any clothes right now...? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Before he could think any further—

"Hey! Don't have any weird thoughts! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

"Get out!"

Jiwon coughed awkwardly.

"Ahem... okay. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

We're getting divorced anyway...

There's no reason to think about things like that.

With that, he quietly left the bedroom.

A few minutes later, Min-jae came out fully dressed and walked into the kitchen.

He started making breakfast.

Jiwon looked at him.

"You're not going to college today?"

Min-jae shook his head.

"When I woke up and didn't see you, I called and asked for leave."

"I'm really not feeling well."

"So many things happened yesterday."

"I still can't believe I'm married..."

"...And my husband is a ghost. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)"

Jiwon nodded sympathetically.

"Yeah."

"I understand."

"Anyone would be shocked."

"By the way..."

"I went to the Spirit World last night."

Min-jae looked surprised.

"Wait."

"You said you can't go more than three meters away from me."

Jiwon nodded.

"That's true in the Human World."

"But I can freely travel to the Spirit World."

"I met the librarian."

"He gave me permission to bring you there."

"We'll have to search the Spirit Library for information about marriages between ghosts and humans."

"I've also submitted an application to the Spirit Court."

Min-jae's gloomy expression instantly disappeared.

"Really?! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

"I can go to the Spirit World?"

"Yep."

"When are we going?"

Jiwon smiled.

"Not now."

"Eat your breakfast first."

"Before we go, I need to explain the rules."

"There are good ghosts..."

"And there are evil ghosts."

"So you have to be careful."

Min-jae nodded seriously.

"I understand."

Jiwon continued,

"I know you're my wife."

"If others find out you're connected to me, most of them won't dare touch you."

"...But I also have enemies in the Spirit World."

"The people I killed during my lifetime still hold grudges against me."

Min-jae blinked.

"Then just beat them up again."

Jiwon sighed.

"I wish I could."

"But things don't work like that anymore."

"I'm no longer the Crown Prince there."

After breakfast was ready, Min-jae carried it to the living room.

He sat on the couch, turned on the TV, and started eating.

Jiwon sat beside him.

The moment the TV turned on, his eyes became as big as plates.

"W-What is this?! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

"There are people inside that box!"

He immediately pointed at Min-jae.

"You're a witch! (⁠ʘ⁠言⁠ʘ⁠╬⁠)"

"You trapped them in there!"

"How evil!"

For the first time...

Jiwon was actually scared of Min-jae.

Min-jae looked at him with a completely done expression.

"...I'm not a witch."

"It's called a TV."

"The people aren't actually inside it."

"It's just like a moving picture."

"You know portraits?"

Jiwon slowly nodded.

"...So it's something like that? (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

"Exactly."

Although he still didn't completely understand...

He decided to believe Min-jae.

The movie continued playing.

Ironically...

Jiwon enjoyed it much more than Min-jae.

It was a comedy movie.

Jiwon laughed so loudly that the entire living room echoed.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Min-jae simply ate his breakfast in silence.

He's enjoying it more than I am... (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)

After finishing breakfast and the movie, Min-jae stood up.

"Let's go."

"I need to buy some things."

Jiwon nodded.

"Alright."

The two of them left the apartment.

The moment they stepped outside...

Four or five ghosts suddenly surrounded them.

One ghost raised his hand.

"Brother! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

"My husband is getting remarried!"

"Please tell his new wife he can't cook at all!"

Another ghost hurried over.

"Big Brother! Please! (⁠人⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)"

"Can you delete my Chrome history from my phone?"

[ I feel you bro 😭]

A third ghost said,

"Please tell my grandson not to drink tea from my favorite cup!"

Min-jae stood there in complete silence.

"..."

"Cooking... Chrome history... teacups...?"

He slowly looked at Jiwon.

Jiwon also looked speechless.

Then he rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Ignore them."

He looked at the ghosts.Jiwon let out a helpless sigh.He looked at the ghosts.

"No."

"My wife doesn't provide ghost services. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)" jiwon said

"We have important work to do."

After saying that, he simply floated forward.

Min-jae glanced at the disappointed ghosts before quietly following behind him.

The ghosts could only watch the two of them leave.

"...Aw... (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

..

.

.

Days passed.

One day became a week.

One week became two.

And before they even realized it...

A whole month had passed.

During that month, Jiwon had been busy getting permission from the higher spirits and completing the necessary procedures so that a human could officially enter the Spirit World.

It wasn't easy.

After many discussions and approvals...

Everything was finally accepted.

During that month, Min-jae and Jiwon also became much closer.

Not in a romantic way.

They simply got used to each other's presence.

They argued almost every day, teased each other, and sometimes even watched movies together.

It had become their normal routine.

...

One month later.

Min-jae and Jiwon stood facing each other in the living room.

"Are you ready?" Min-jae asked. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Jiwon smiled.

"Of course. (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

The next second...

Golden light surrounded both of them.

Min-jae instinctively closed his eyes because of the bright light.

When he opened them again...

His surroundings had completely changed.

"...(⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

He wasn't in his apartment anymore.

Instead, he was floating in the air.

"H-How am I floating?! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Jiwon smiled proudly.

"There's no ground here."

"Everyone moves by floating."

"And you're floating because I used magic."

"Magic only works properly for me in the Spirit World."

Min-jae's eyes sparkled.

"Whoa... (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

"That's so cool."

Jiwon proudly folded his arms.

"Of course."

"I told you I was amazing. (⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠)"

Min-jae rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Let's go."

As they floated through the Spirit World, countless ghosts stopped what they were doing.

Every pair of eyes landed on Min-jae.

"...A human?"

"A living human is here?"

"How is that possible?"

Whispers spread everywhere.

Ignoring everyone's shocked expressions, Jiwon took Min-jae straight to the Spirit Court.

Inside the grand hall, a judge sat behind a large desk.

The judge looked at Min-jae.

"What is your name?"

"My name is Kang Min-jae."

The judge shook his head.

"No."

"Your name after marriage."

"You must state your name using your husband's family name."

Min-jae slowly turned to look at Jiwon.

Jiwon looked far too pleased with himself.

Min-jae made a completely done face.

"..."

Then, in a small and unwilling voice, he answered,

"...Lee Min-jae. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Jiwon's smile immediately became even brighter. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Min-jae looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"Don't smile. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Whatever the situation was...

The moment Min-jae unwillingly said,

"...Lee Min-jae. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Jiwon froze for a second.

A small smile slowly appeared on his face.

For some reason...

Hearing "Lee Min-jae" sounded... nice.

It felt strangely pleasant.

He couldn't explain why.

Maybe it was because, after so many years...

Someone finally carried his family name again.

Or maybe...

It was because, for the first time in a very long time, he truly had someone he could call his family.

He quietly looked at Min-jae.

"...Lee Min-jae." (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

He softly repeated the name to himself.

Min-jae immediately noticed.

"Why are you smiling like that? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Jiwon quickly coughed and looked away.

"...Nothing."

"I was just thinking..."

"It suits you."

Min-jae rolled his eyes.

"Don't get any weird ideas."

"We're still getting divorced. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Jiwon shrugged.

"I know."

"But..."

He smiled again.

"I still like hearing 'Lee Min-jae.' (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

Min-jae clicked his tongue and turned his face away, pretending not to care.

"...Idiot." (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)

But for some reason...

The corners of his lips twitched ever so slightly.

After leaving the Spirit Court with no answer, Min-jae and Jiwon headed to the Spirit Library.

They searched for hours.

Shelf after shelf.

Book after book.

The entire day passed like that.

Finally...

Jiwon's eyes landed on an old, dusty book.

"I found one. (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)"

The two of them quickly opened it.

After flipping through many pages, they reached Page 365.

Jiwon began reading aloud.

[If a human and a ghost are bound together through a spiritual object, such as a ring, necklace, bracelet, or any other contract item...]

[...and they wish to dissolve their marriage...]

[...the contract object must be destroyed.]

Both of them silently looked at the ring on Min-jae's finger.

Jiwon continued reading.

[The moment the contract object is destroyed...]

[...the ghost bound to it shall completely disappear.]

[...Its existence will be erased forever.]

[...It shall belong neither to the Human World...]

[...nor to the Spirit World...]

[...nor to Heaven...]

[...nor to Hell.]

[..Its soul shall cease to exist.]

Silence.

The library became deathly quiet.

Neither of them spoke.

Jiwon slowly lowered the book.

His expression had turned unusually serious.

Before he could continue reading the next paragraph...

Min-jae suddenly closed the book.

"...Let's go home. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)"

Jiwon looked at him.

"There might be more written here."

Min-jae shook his head.

"...Not today."

He didn't know why.

But hearing those words...

His heart suddenly felt heavy.

A strange pain spread through his chest.

He didn't want to hear anything else.

Jiwon remained silent.

Deep inside...

He wasn't feeling any better.

Disappear... forever...?

Not even the Spirit World...

Not Heaven...

Not Hell...

There would be nothing left of him.

For the first time...

The thought of divorce no longer felt simple.

Neither of them said another word.

They quietly left the library together.

.

.

.

.

.

.

chapter two 😭😭😭finish now going to write three.

don't mind my word mistake I'm in hurry (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

.

.

.

After returning home, the apartment was unusually quiet.

Neither of them said a word.

Min-jae didn't even eat dinner.

Jiwon looked at him and quietly said,

"You should eat something. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

Min-jae didn't reply.

He simply walked into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

A few momnts later, he fell aslep.

Jiwon let out a quiet sigh.

He wanted to say something...

But he didn't know what.

Instead of entering the bedroom, he stayed in the living room and silently sat on the sofa.

...

One week passed.

During that week, neither of them talked much.

Whenever Jiwon tried to bring up the topic of divorce...

Min-jae would immediately get annoyed.

They always ended up arguing.

Neither of them was willing to continue the conversation.

Finally...

After an entire week...

Min-jae took a deep breath.

"Jiwon."

"Let's talk."

Jiwon looked at him for a moment before nodding.

"...Okay."

The two of them sat on the living room sofa, facing each other.

After a long silence...

Min-jae finally spoke.

"...Let's not get divorced."

Jiwon looked surprised.

"What?"

Min-jae avoided his eyes.

"Let's just stay like this."

"We're already married anyway."

Jiwon thought for a moment."Even if we're married...It's not like we can really do anything."

For a split second...

A very naughty thought crossed his mind.

Min-jae immediately narrowed his eyes.

"...What do you mean by that? (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

Jiwon coughed twice.

"Ahem!"

"I-I mean...You're human.I'm a ghost.We can't even touch each other.So... nothing will really change."

Min-jae looked at him for a few seconds before looking away.

The two of them argued again.

Almost an entire hour passed.

Finally...

Min-jae stood up.

"I said no means no! (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)"

"We're not getting divorced."

"We'll just live like this."

"That's final."

Author Note: bottom power💪 l

...

Far away...

Inside a dark room in the Spirit World...

Someone suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

"I found it..."

"I finally found a way to become human again."

He held an ancient book in his hands.

The page read:

«A spirit bound to a contract object may temporarily obtain a physical body by sacrificing the spiritual energy contained within that object.»

«To continue existing in a physical body, another spiritual object must be sacrificed before the previous power expires.»

[ I can't able to discride it in such a less time understand whatever you want (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)]

The mysterious figure slowly closed the book.

A dangerous smile spread across his face.

"So..."

"The ring really is the key."

He laughed again.

"Hahaha... (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)"

...

Another month passed.

Life slowly returned to normal.

Min-jae and Jiwon no longer argued every day.

Instead...

They constantly teased each other.

Sometimes they watched movies together.Sometimes Jiwon complained about modern technology.

Sometimes Min-jae made fun of Jiwon's ancient way of speaking.

Without realizing it...

The apartment no longer felt lonely.

...

One evening...

Min-jae and Jiwon were sitting in the living room, watching TV together.

Suddenly—

A bright red light surrounded both of them.

"W-What?! (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)"

Before Min-jae could react...

The scenery around them completely changed.

They had been pulled into the Spirit World.

Min-jae almost fell.

But Jiwon immediately cast a spell.

Golden light surrounded Min-jae's body, allowing him to float safely.

jison steadied himself and quickly turned toward mjn jae

"min jae"

"Are you okay?! (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

"I'm okay." Min-jae replied, taking a deep breath. (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠)

Jiwon let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)"

He looked around.

"...We're here?."

The surroundings were completely different from the peaceful Spirit World they had visited before.

Everything was dark.

A cold wind blew through the empty land.

Min-jae instinctively moved a little closer to Jiwon.

Jiwon wanted to hold Min-jae's hand to reassure him...

But he couldn't.

He was still just a ghost.

His hand passed through the air.

He quietly lowered it.

"...Stay close to me." (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)

Min-jae nodded seriously.

Just then...

A loud laugh echoed through the darkness.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha"

A figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

He was a ghost.

His long black robe fluttered in the cold wind.

A deep scar stretched across one side of his face, making him look even more terrifying.

[ I don't have time😭]

A wicked smile spread across his lips.

His crimson eyes were fixed on Jiwon.

"So..."

"I finally found you." (⁠ಠ⁠ω⁠ಠ⁠)

He laughed again.

"Hahaha..."

"Now..."

"I can finally consume it."

He slowly looked at the ring on Min-jae's finger.

His smile widened.

"And after that..."

"I'll become human once again." (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)

Jiwon and Min-jae exchanged confused looks.

Neither of them understood what was happening.

Jiwon frowned and stepped slightly in front of Min-jae.

"What the hell are you talking about?" (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)

"Who are you?"

"And why are you staring at my wife?"

The words "my wife" slipped out of Jiwon's mouth so naturally that even he didn't realize it.

Behind him, Min-jae blinked.

...My wife?

For some strange reason, his heart skipped a beat.

A warm feeling spread through his chest, and the corners of his ears turned slightly red.

He quickly looked away before anyone noticed.

Jiwon lowered his voice.

"Min-jae."

"Stay behind me."

Min-jae quietly nodded and moved behind Jiwon.

The mysterious ghost suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... "

"Shut up."

"I'm not interested in arguing with you."

He slowly shifted his gaze to Min-jae.

His eyes scanned him from head to toe with a cold, unsettling smile.

"You really found yourself a beautiful human spouse."

"What a waste."

Jiwon's expression instantly darkened.

"Watch your words. "

The ghost ignored him and continued,

"Once I become human again..."

"...You'll disappear."

"And after you're gone..."

"I'll take everything that belongs to you."

Jiwon's eyes widened.

"What did you just say?"

The ghost laughed again.

"Hahaha..."

"I said..."

"You'll be gone."

Min-jae frowned in confusion.

"...Gone?"

He looked at Jiwon.

"What does he mean by 'gone'?" (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Jiwon and Min-jae looked at each other in confusion.

The evil ghost suddenly burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

"I'll stop wasting time."

His eyes locked onto the ring on Min-jae's finger.

"I want that ring."

"So..."

"Hand it over."

Jiwon immediately stepped in front of Min-jae.

"Not happening. (⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)"

The evil ghost smirked.

"Then I'll just kill you and take it."

The next second...

A dark red magic circle appeared beneath the ghost's feet.

He stretched out his hand.

A sharp blast of dark energy shot straight toward Jiwon.

Jiwon's expression turned serious.

He quickly raised one hand.

"Barrier!"

A golden shield instantly appeared in front of him.

Boom!

The dark attack crashed into the barrier, sending powerful waves of spiritual energy in every direction.

Min-jae instinctively covered his face.

The two ghosts immediately began fighting.

Dark magic and golden magic collided again and again.

Explosions echoed throughout the area.

Jiwon fired several golden magic attacks toward the evil ghost.

The evil ghost dodged most of them with ease.

"Tch..." Jiwon clicked his tongue.

His magic wasn't strong enough to defeat the enemy quickly.

The evil ghost laughed arrogantly.

"Is that all the great Crown Prince can do? (⁠ಠ⁠ω⁠ಠ⁠)"

"I expected much more."

Jiwon narrowed his eyes.

"...Don't underestimate me." (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)

However...

Jiwon wasn't fighting with his full strength.

Half of his spiritual power was being used to maintain the golden barrier protecting Min-jae.

The other half was all he had left to fight with.

That alone put him at a huge disadvantage.

The evil ghost noticed it immediately.

A cruel smile appeared on his face.

"So that's your weakness. (⁠ಠ⁠ω⁠ಠ⁠)"

"You're protecting your little wife."

Jiwon didn't answer.

Instead, he cast another spell and attacked.

Golden light shot toward the evil ghost.

But the evil ghost easily dodged it.

In the next second—

He suddenly appeared right in front of Jiwon.

"What?!"

Bang!

A powerful blast of dark magic struck Jiwon directly in the chest.

Jiwon was thrown backward several meters before barely managing to stop himself in midair.

He held his chest and frowned.

Behind the barrier, Min-jae's eyes widened.

"Jiwon

Jiwon quickly looked back at him.

"I'm fine!"

"Don't come out!"

He immediately stood up again, refusing to let the barrier disappear.

Even though he was injured...

The golden shield protecting Min-jae never weakened.

The fight continued.

Magic clashed again and again, shaking the entire area.

Jiwon was clearly getting weaker.

His breathing became heavier with every attack.

Min-jae noticed it immediately.

"Jiwon!"

"Why aren't you using your full strength?"

Jiwon blocked another attack before replying,

"...Half of my power is being used to protect you."

Min-jae froze.

For a moment...

His heart tightened.

He looked at the golden barrier surrounding him.

He's using half of his strength... just to protect me.

But he quickly pushed those feelings aside.

He clenched his fists and shouted,

"Stop protecting me!"

"Use your full power and finish him!" (⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)

Jiwon's eyes widened.

"No!"

"I won't."

Min-jae frowned.

"If you keep fighting with only half your power, you'll lose!"

"When your spiritual power runs out..."

"The barrier will disappear anyway."

"So stop wasting your strength!"

"Fight with everything you've got!"

Jiwon fell silent.

He knew...

Min-jae was right.

After thinking for a few more seconds...

He finally nodded.

"...Alright."

The golden barrier slowly disappeared.

Jiwon gathered all of his remaining spiritual power into both hands.

Golden light surrounded his entire body.

Across from him...

The evil ghost laughed.

"Heh..."

He also began gathering all of his dark energy.

A huge black magic circle appeared behind him.

For a few seconds...

Neither of them moved.

Then—

"Now!"

Both of them attacked at the same time.

A massive golden beam shot toward the evil ghost.

At the exact same moment...

The evil ghost released a blast of dark magic.

But...

It wasn't aimed at Jiwon.

His real target...

Was Min-jae.

Jiwon's eyes widened in horror.

"MIN-JAE!!"

Jiwon's attack hit the evil spirit directly.

Boom!

The evil spirit was thrown far away.

But at the same time...

The evil spirit's attack also reached Min-jae.

It struck his hand.

"Ahhh!"

Min-jae was thrown several meters away and landed hard on the ground.

His entire arm was in burning pain.

Jiwon's eyes widened.

"Min-jae!"

He immediately flew toward him.

But before he could reach him...

Crack.

A small cracking sound echoed.

Min-jae slowly looked at his hand.

His eyes froze.

The ring...

...had cracked.

His hand began to tremble.

"N-No..." he whispered.

Jiwon, who was still several meters away, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He stopped in midair.

Slowly...

He looked at Min-jae.

Min-jae also looked at him.

Neither of them said a word.

They both knew...

What was about to happen.

Then—

Crack.

Another crack appeared across the ring.

The next second...

The ring shattered into pieces.

Golden light burst out from it.

Jiwon's body immediately began to disappear.

The fingers of his right hand slowly faded into countless golden particles.

Min-jae's eyes turned red.

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"N-No..."

Jiwon also had tears in his eyes.

Even so...

He forced himself to smile.

"I guess..."

"...this is the last time I'll get to talk to you."

His voice trembled.

"I thought we'd get divorced first..."

"But it looks like..."

"...we're being separated instead."

Min-jae ignored the pain in his body.

He rushed toward Jiwon as fast as he could.

He knew...

He couldn't touch him.

He couldn't hug him.

But his heart refused to give up.

He reached out anyway.

His arms passed straight through Jiwon's fading body.

Min-jae broke down completely.

"No... please don't leave..."

Jiwon smiled through his tears."It wasn't that bad......living with you."

Min-jae shook his head desperately.

"No!We're not separating!You still have to remind me to eat breakfast!You still have to scold me in class for being bad at studying!"

His tears wouldn't stop falling.

Jiwon's smile became even gentler.

"If you can still see ghosts after this.....don't be afraidThey won't bother you if you tell them you're my wife."

Min-jae cried even harder.

Jiwon looked at him with eyes full of sadness.

"How unlucky..."

"I can't even hug you..."

"...for the last time."

He slowly raised his fading hand toward Min-jae's face.

Even though he couldn't touch him...

He smiled warmly.

"If..."

"If I get another chance..."

"If I meet you again in another life..."

"I'll still choose you."

His voice became weaker.

"If you forget me..."

"I'll remember you."

"But..."

"If I forget you..."

"Promise me you'll remind me."

Min-jae couldn't even answer.

He could only cry as he looked at Jiwon with tear-filled, red eyes.

Suddenly—

A brilliant golden light surrounded both of them.

It appeared without any warning.

Jiwon and Min-jae both looked toward the light.

They knew...

Something was about to happen.

Min-jae kept his eyes tightly shut.

Tears streamed down his face without stopping.

He didn't want to open his eyes.

He was too afraid.

Too afraid that if he opened them...

Jiwon would be gone forever.

Then...

He suddenly felt something warm.

A warm hand gently touched his cheek.

Min-jae's body trembled.

His breathing stopped for a moment.

Slowly...

Very slowly...

He opened his eyes.

The moment he did...

His pupils shook violently.

Standing right in front of him...

Was Jiwon.

Not transparent.

Not fading away.

He was looking at Min-jae with the same shocked expression, his eyes also red from crying.

For a few seconds...

Neither of them spoke.

They simply stared at each other.

Then they realized something.

Jiwon's hand...

...was actually touching Min-jae's face.

Min-jae slowly raised his own hand.

This time...

Instead of passing through Jiwon...

His fingers touched Jiwon's cheek.

They could touch each other.

Both of them froze.

The next second...

Min-jae threw himself into Jiwon's arms.

Jiwon immediately hugged him back tightly.

Neither of them wanted to let go.

They cried.

But this time...

These weren't tears of sadness.

They were tears of happiness.

Tears because they weren't going to be separated.

Tears because fate had given them another chance.

Tears because their prayers had finally been heard.

Neither of them knew how long they stayed like that.

They simply held each other tightly...

As if they were afraid that letting go would make everything disappear again.

Then—

A brilliant white light suddenly surrounded them once more.

It shone even brighter than before.

Everything slowly faded into white.

To Be Continued... ✨ (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

😭I can't write four chapter I forgot

.

As the white light slowly faded...

A person stepped out from within it.

Neither Min-jae nor Jiwon could recognize who he was.

The mysterious man smiled gently as he looked at them.

"Finally..." (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

"So you finally found your life partner."

"My work here is done."

Jiwon frowned in confusion.

"Who are you?"

The mysterious man only smiled.

"We'll meet again someday."

"But not today."

"Now..."

"Go back to Earth."

"Bye-bye." (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

With a wave of his hand...

The white light surrounded them once again.

The next moment—

They found themselves back inside Min-jae's bedroom.

For a few seconds...

Neither of them spoke.

Then they looked at each other.

Without saying a single word...

They hugged each other tightly once again.

This time...

They could truly feel each other's warmth.

Their tears were still rolling down their cheeks.

But both of them were smiling.

After a long silence...

Jiwon spoke first.

"I don't think..."

"...we need a divorce anymore." (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Min-jae smiled and nodded.

"I agree."

"I think..."

"...this accidental marriage wasn't so bad after all." (⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡

Jiwon chuckled softly.

"I couldn't agree more."

Min-jae looked at him with a bright smile.

"I guess..."

"...FOR TEN RUPEES I GOT A GHOST HUSBAND" (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Jiwon laughed.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

the two of them kiss and then two of them smiled at each other.

Their accidental marriage...

Had become the beginning of their forever.

— THE END — ✨💕 (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)╰⁠(⁠⁠´⁠︶⁠`⁠⁠)⁠╯
