Grim Reaper

***Taehyung's POV***

I... died? How was that possible? I was just talking to Seoyeon and she heard me. I can't be dead.

"Who are you and how dare you say that I am dead! I'm perfectly fine! How can I be dead and still be standing here? You make no sense!" I angrily shouted at the stranger dressed in black. Rage was building up in my body. If this was someone's idea of a joke, it was not funny at all.

He was not laughing or smiling saying "candid camera" or "you've been punked." He held his blank expression and slightly tilted his head before answering me.

"My name is Min Yoongi and I'm a grim reaper."

Grim Reaper?

"There is something else that you need to know," he responded again with his expressionless face.

What is up this dude?

"Do you remember last year with Seoyeon? The promise?"

I looked at him, puzzlement once again showed on my face. I had no recognition of any promise what so ever. But what got to me was how he knew Seoyeonie also. How could he know both Seoyeonie and myself?

"Look, I don't know who you are and what you are trying to pull, but it's not funny. Please get away from me."

I lightly shoved him aside and reached to open the door to my car. I stopped in my track and I couldn't believe my eyes.

My eyes widen and I couldn't move. I was staring at myself seated in the driver's side. My head bleeding from the right side. There was blood dripping down the steering wheel that is telling me I had hit it during the impact. My body was leaning back in the seat with the head tilted towards the window, no sign of life. No signs of breathing at all.

No. No, this can't be happening. I have to be dreaming...

"It's not a dream. You died in the car accident," Yoongi answered me as if he was reading my mind.

But, Seoyeonie.. S-she heard me earlier when I asked her if she was okay... didn't she?

"She's in limbo right now, half alive and half dead. So she can hear you," Yoongi answered my thoughts once again.

"Stop... Please... I can't be dead. What's going to happen to me?" I asked Yoongi.

"Well..." He replied but was interrupted by a red car that pulled over not too far away from my car. A woman stepped out of the car and rushed to the scene.

"Omo! What happened here?! I have to call 911!!"

I watched her run back to her car to grab her cell phone.

"Hello? There's a car accident here! Please send help right away. There are 3 people involved and none of them seems to be conscious right now. Please HURRY!"

Did she not see me standing right here? Am I really dead?

"Yah, how many times must I tell you that YOU ARE DEAD!" Yoongi shouted back at me which startled me. "You are really starting to frustrate me!"

"I just don't know how to accept it. I guess... I must really be dead."

Large tears brimmed in my eyes as I look over to Seoyeon. She was still breathing because I could see her chest moving up as she inhaled and down and she slowly exhaled. I suddenly felt a sharp piercing pain in my head. It hurt so much that I gripped my head instantly.

"Aarrgghh!" I screamed and fell on to my knees. I was grimacing in pain.

"Why am I still in pain if I am already dead?" I asked Yoongi. I couldn't comprehend it.

"It's because your death is still so fresh and new. Your injuries will still be painful. It will slowly subside the longer you stay here."

I looked up to Yoongi in confusion. Why was everything that was coming out of this man's mouth confusing me more and more?

"The longer I stay here? Aren't you here to take me? I thought you were the grim reaper?"

"I told you earlier that there is still something else that you need to know."

His eyes turned darker than they already were and he slowly leaned towards me and whispered,

"Seoyeon is going to die with you...."
