episode 4

haru was sad because he realized he broke his promise to jiu and out of all the things he loved in the world, jiu was the one he loved the most and hearing that she went through so much alone because of him made him feel worse.

" Let's head back "

" Yeah sure "

...----------------...

The next morning jiu was in a particularly good mood as last night she and haru talked all night and woke up in the late hours of the day it was too late to prepare for school now because it was around 11am classes had long already started and it would soon be lunch break so there was no use coming at this time

" Haru what do you want to eat?"

"Umm..." haru began to think then suddenly remembering his favorite food jiu used to cook for him when they were younger " rice balls "

" Umm... are you sure?"

" Yes"

' Hmm...I used to make Rice balls for haru back then... such a coincidence that this guy's name happened to be haru and he resembles him quite a bit ... but my haru is dead, gone and never coming back to me huh' jiu thought as she let out a heavy sigh

" Okay then"

As she was in the kitchen making breakfast, haru went to take a warm shower, it was getting cold as fall was coming, thankfully he brought extra clothes to wear, just a simple baggy shirt and some comfortable joggers to match. He looked quite handsome in his simple outfit.

" Food is ready!!!" jiu called out from the kitchen

...

Sitting on the dinning table haru stared at the food in awe...

' Joonju's famous Rice balls, just like she used to make for me back in the village' he thought

He instantly gobbled up the food greedily in tears, Jiu looking at him couldn't understand his behavior as it was awfully strange

" Are you okay? "

" Me? Oh yes I'm completely fine" finishing his sentence haru sensed something off...an unfamiliar presence

' Suicide demons' he thought ' But why here, they couldn't find her in school so they tracked her here? This isn't good, I have to keep her from sad thoughts otherwise she'll fall into their trap there are too many sharp things at her house I have to distract her'

" Umm, Jiu do you want to play a game? "

" Yeah sure why not"

" Do you have any board games of some kind"

" Yeah, I think I have something like that hold on let me go check"

" Yeah sure take your time "

As Jiu left a dark figure materialized in front of haru

" Long time no see... soul 9411"

" What do you want? "

" Heh it seems you joined the angels I suppose"

" Why are you here? "

" To take the suicide soul of course, her name has been in my record countless times but she always gets saved by someone and it vanishes each time"

" Jiu isn't dying today, grim go back to your realm"

" Child don't dare be so informal with me that's grim reaper to you "

" Sure...now go"

" Hmm...yet again the Young girl has averted death, if you really want to save her shouldn't you get rid of the suicide demons going towards her right now?"

Haru gasped, he had forgotten about them , Grim left saying he might be back depending on if jiu survives or not, leaving haru dashed into the room to find Jiu bleeding and watching her hand bleed while she looked faintly at haru and she whispered

" It was my fault "

And dropped as she had lost so much blood, haru was almost having a heart attack

" Joonju'!!"
