Afterlife Dating Episode 14 (Final Episode) – Final Choice
To Pass On or Become a Couple
“Everyone, your attention please! The long-awaited Final Choice begins now! Cameras ready… action!”
The flames rising from the brazier in the shrine courtyard flickered across the boundary between the living and the dead.
For once, my voice trembled.
Sweat dampened the back of the hand gripping the gimbal.
The livestream had surpassed fifty thousand viewers.
Donations were pouring in like crazy.
Yet strangely enough, my mouth felt bitter and my chest tight.
Somewhere deep inside me—
inside the money-hungry shaman who had made a living selling ghosts’ private lives for content—
the long-forgotten awareness of being a real shaman pierced through me like a blade.
“The rules are simple!”
I took a deep breath.
“First: mutual matching! Both parties must throw their name tags to each other.”
“Second: choose your future.”
“Throw your tags!”
Without hesitation, Minsu tossed his name tag toward Lady Mija.
With a gentle smile, she tossed hers back.
But Jieun never threw hers.
Minsu and Lady Mija had successfully matched.
Minsu’s eyes sparkled like a child’s.
“Lady Mija! We can have a soul wedding and become the afterlife’s celebrity couple—!”
But Lady Mija shook her head.
“Thanks to this clever young shaman’s game, I have enjoyed sights beyond measure.”
Her smile was peaceful.
“Young sir, I wish to pass on together with you.”
Minsu froze.
“Lady Mija…”
His voice trembled.
“I still want to stay. We promised we’d go see flowers together.”
She shook her head once more.
“My heart is grateful.”
She looked toward the distant sky.
“I have traveled to the Independence Hall with all of you.”
“I laughed. I talked. I lived more in these few days than I had in centuries.”
Her smile deepened.
“I have troubled this shrine enough.”
“It is time for me to leave.”
Her eyes grew soft.
“There are family members who left three hundred years before me.”
“I wish to see them again.”
At those words, neither Minsu nor Jieun could stop her.
The lingering regrets that had weighed upon her for three hundred years dissolved into pure white light.
Lady Mija met my gaze and smiled gently.
“Young shaman.”
Her voice carried warmth.
“Consider my final appearance fee a blessing upon your future.”
Her eyes flicked toward Hyunwoo.
“So do not chase money alone.”
She smirked.
“Share a drink with that young man sometime.”
The moment her hand touched Hyunwoo’s prayer beads—
blue spiritual energy and radiant white light erupted through the roof of the shrine.
The night sky blossomed into a magnificent aurora.
This was no special effect.
No CGI.
This was the true beauty of a soul ascending.
[ShamanNoonaFighting] donated $100!
“WHAT THE HECK?? Is this CGI?? This is REAL?! I’ve got goosebumps!!!”
[LoveExorcist] donated $150!
“Exorcist Hyunwoo is insane… Lady Mija, please be happy 😭😭😭”
[BringBackLadyMija] donated $50!
“You crazy shaman 😭 You should’ve stopped her!! Who’s gonna make the show fun now?! 😭😭😭”
With effortless grace, Lady Mija stepped through the Gate of Ascension opened by Hyunwoo.
And disappeared.
Left behind alone, Minsu’s voice trembled.
“Lady Mija…”
He swallowed hard.
“When you meet your family…”
“Please go flower-viewing with them.”
At those words, Jieun collapsed to the ground and began sobbing.
[Anonymous118]: They fought nonstop, but now they’re crying because she’s gone… this hurts.
[Anonymous119]: Why is this suddenly making me cry?? Tears all over my screen 😭
[GrimReaperAppears]: THIS is real reality TV. Where are all the people who said it was fake?
For the first time—
I didn’t count the donations.
Without a word, I walked over and embraced the two ghosts.
Hyunwoo stepped beside me.
Silently, he patted their shoulders.
Silence settled over the place Lady Mija had left behind.
Hyunwoo looked at the two remaining spirits.
“Lee Jieun.”
His voice was calm.
“The gate will close soon. What about you?”
Jieun wiped away her tears.
But instead of looking at Minsu—
she looked up at the night sky.
“No.”
Her expression was brighter than ever.
“I don’t have feelings for Oppa anymore.”
She smiled faintly.
“Watching Lady Mija made me realize something.”
Her eyes shimmered.
“I spent my whole life staring at him…”
“…without ever noticing whether flowers were blooming or fading in my own life.”
She took a deep breath.
“That’s what I regret most.”
She smiled.
“I’m not passing on.”
Her voice rang clear.
“From now on, instead of chasing Oppa…”
“I’m going to spend my time in this world looking at everything I love.”
She grinned.
“Just like Lady Mija.”
At her declaration, Minsu stood there with a dumbfounded expression.
I turned toward him.
“What about you, Minsu?”
He scratched his head and let out a sigh as big as his frame.
“Producer…”
He smiled awkwardly.
“I’m not ready to leave yet either.”
His eyes drifted toward Jieun.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her smile like that.”
He shrugged.
“So…”
“If she’s staying…”
“I’ll stick around too.”
His ears reddened.
“Maybe I can at least carry the lighting bags.”
“Okay! Cut! Season One complete!”
I cheered while tapping on my tablet.
“Jieun, that speech was perfect! Minsu, choosing to stay too? This reality show writes itself!”
Donation alerts immediately began ringing again.
[TeamShaman] donated $30!
“Jieun is amazing!! Season 2 please!!!”
“Contestants Minsu and Jieun are hereby automatically converted into production crew due to voluntary residency!”
I pointed dramatically.
“We’re filming Season Two! Hey, pretty face! Start the engine!”
Hyunwoo whipped around in disbelief.
“Hey, Ham Seonyeong! I never agreed to that!”
He glared at me.
“And stop calling me that! I’m an exorcist!”
The chat exploded.
[Anonymous250]: Hyung, just accept it. Resistance is futile LOL.
[ExorcistBoom]: If Oppa leaves the show, I’m quitting the fandom 😭😭😭
[Anonymous251]: The shaman and exorcist actually look good together.
Yeah, Cha Hyunwoo.
Where do you think you’re going?
Season Two is mandatory.
