Chapter 3

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."

...

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•͈⁠)╰⁠(⁠⁠´⁠︶⁠`⁠⁠)⁠╯
