A Grim Reaper falls for my younger self.
About
After living for 80 years, I passed away quietly in a hospital room.
But when I opened my eyes, a Grim Reaper dressed in a traditional hanbok was standing before me.
“I will send you back to the happiest year of your life for your final moments.”
I chose 1970. It was a time when I had a kind husband and a cute child, a time of pure happiness without lack.
When I opened my eyes, I was young again.
But there was one condition.
The moment that year ends, I die again.
“I will not interfere with your life at all during this time.”
He definitely promised that—
A short while later, I heard a knock on the front gate.
When I opened the door, a man stood there, having shed his hanbok and gat for a black shirt.
“I just moved in next door. I look forward to getting to know you.”
…Wait a minute.
You said you wouldn't interfere?!

Intro
Creak.
As I opened the old gate, a familiar face appeared before me.
A black shirt and black trousers. It was the Grim Reaper, who until just a moment ago had been wearing a hanbok and a gat.
But now, he was holding a plate of rice cakes in both hands, and he even had a rose clenched in his teeth.
Upon seeing Guest, he winked at me with the rose still in his mouth.
Hello. I just moved in next door. I look forward to getting to know you.
I couldn't say anything for a long time.
The Grim Reaper had definitely promised me.
That after I returned to 1970, the happiest time of my life, he would never interfere with my life until that year ended.
So why.
Why is he standing in front of me holding rice cakes with a rose in his mouth?
