[BL] Debut in Interstellar After Retiring as Grim Reaper

Chapter 319: Two Hearts

A heart.

Only that organ can be inside the chest that he pointed out.

No. 444 swallowed. He was forced to calm himself and finally felt the sound he heard was indeed coming from what Yin pointed out.

A heart. He could feel it. There was a sudden strange beating inside him. It was very unfamiliar because there was something inside him that’s beating like a small drum.

"... Are you sure?" He found it unbelievable.

Yin raised his eyes and met him full of disbelief. The corner of the man’s lips lifted a little and he just grabbed one of his hands and suddenly put his palm directly on his own chest.

"Feel it."

"...." Yin didn’t lie. He could really do it.

"!!!" He finally let out a small gasp and a small ball of joy surfaced inside him. He couldn’t describe the feeling but it felt different when he received a pat from that old woman. It was still pleasant but it wasn’t because it came from other people, it felt a little tingle inside him and somehow, it made him flash a small smile on his face.

He raised his other hand and put it above the man’s hand that was covering his palm. He didn’t care about the man’s reaction because all he’s feeling right now was elated that he couldn’t describe fully.

There was no longer coldness on his face as a grin broke it down. He was very delighted and looked at the man.

"You can feel it too, right?!" Even his tone sounds like he was very excited. His whole face right now practically tells his good mood so he didn’t notice the man’s body went totally stiff at his action.

Because Si subconsciously pushed his hand more, he could feel the beating on the latter’s heart on his palm even if there was another palm covering it. It was as if his heart was directly beating beside his.

Yin was flabbergasted at his action but also didn’t know what to do. His body just froze as he let the man do what he wanted in the middle of his joy. He could see that No. 444 was really happy that he had a heart.

And it was like a total breakdown of all the unsettling emotions around him. Looking at his smile like a child, he was like a different person.

Like someone who has finally found something that completes him.

He lowered his eyes and stared at his hand. The man’s two hands were still covering his.

"Hey," The man’s call made him raise his eyes again. "Do you think I can do better as a grim reaper this time?"

"... You will."

Si flashed a smile again. His already good-looking face brightened even more. The sharp features on his face soften, he was completely different to the first time they met each other.

"Then I promise to help you too."

He didn’t speak but the way he felt the beating of his heart on his palm feels like in the same rhythm on his.

"Really?! Is that true?!" Ji’s excited voice welcomed them after Si told him about the news of his heart.

No. 444 felt proud and nodded. "Yes! You can confirm it yourself!"

"???" Yin was surprised and in the next second, he saw Ji unceremoniously raise his hand and put it on No. 444’s chest to feel the heartbeat.

"Wow, I can really feel it!" Ji was even more enthusiastic. The two chattered around while the devil on the side was watching them silently.

"...." Yin’s gaze remained at No. 22’s hand that was still resting on Si’s chest. Is he not planning on removing his hand? And will this grim reaper’s guard disappear like this?

He opened his lips but no words left so he could only close it again and purse his lips. Fortunately, Ji removed it after a second and he somehow let out a small breath without him noticing.

Yet in the next second again, Ji raised his arm again and actually put it on Si’s shoulder.

"Ah Si, I’m very proud of it!" Ji gave a thumbs up to show his enthusiasm.

"Ah Si?" But what caught their attention was the name he called. Ah Si?

"Yes, it’s a nickname. Do you like it?"

Si’s head tilted in confusion. "Why are you giving me a nickname?"

"Because we’re friends!"

They were stunned. Friends?

"What’s with that face?" Ji removed his arm on Si’s shoulder and pretended to sulk. "We’ve been together for a while and you don’t even consider me as a friend?"

Having a heart, No. 444 was in a good mood for further changes in his life so he took time to appease his new friend. "Of course not. Is it required to give a nickname?"

Ji nodded. "For me, yes. It’s a way of showing closeness towards each other. We’re not just colleagues now but someone who is closer."

Si nodded. "Then I should call you Ah Ji?"

No. 22 laughed in glee. "Of course!"

No. 444 also turns towards the devil on the side. Their eyes met.

"Ah Yin?"

"...." The devil didn’t respond.

He frowned. Did he not want it? So they’re not friends?

He felt a bit sulky but he respects it anyway. "It’s okay if you refuse—"

"No." The man cut him off. "... It’s fine."

He sighs in relief and nods. "Well, Ah Yin."

"... Hmm," He looks a bit uncomfortable so he wanted to make sure that’s really alright when Ji calls him.

"Ah Si, I’m actually here for something." That caught his attention so he turned back and didn’t pursue that matter anymore.

"What is it?" He was curious.

Ji looks a bit reluctant. "The Judge told me that he would send me somewhere for a mission. It’ll take a while so I’m here to say goodbye."

He was stunned. Mission? Why would the Judge do this?

"Did something happen? Do you need help?"

The man shook his head. "I’m sorry but I can’t say that much for now. But don’t worry, the Judge won’t send me there if I can’t take care of it myself."

He nodded. "Will you leave now?"

Ji nodded, his face showing reluctance. "I’ll find you again soon, Ah Si."

"Okay."

Ji sighed and patted his shoulder. "Take care of yourself well. I want to see you fine after I come back."

He chuckles at the concern. "Nothing will happen to me."

"That’s true." Ji finally smiled and took a step back. He opened the white parasol and looked at Yin.

"Lord, I’ll leave him in your care."

Yin frowned. "You don’t need to tell me these things."

Ji smiles with a knowing look and waves at them goodbye before he disappears on the spot.
