Chapter Five: First Day of School

✨

Jungkook laid on his bed, trying to figure out what to do tomorrow. Is he going to just accidentally bump into Taehyung and will accidentally touch him and kill him instantly?

You might think that why not just straight up touch Taehyung and then poof, back to normal? Since the higher ranks will take away the memory of whoever saw the scene where they take the soul and will put a false reality in their minds on how the souls died.

Higher Ranks: Grim reapers that are assigned to manage what the Assisting & Soul-Taking will do to take a person's soul. They have the power to monitor the grims and tell them what to fulfill. The person who had visited Jungkook and Minjun to their apartment to warn them about the punishment that they will encounter if they are unable to take the person's soul. They are the ones who put the soul's name in the Grim Reaper's book.

The Higher Ranks can also manipulate the human's mind in order to help the grim reapers to accomplish their tasks or be a barrier to complicate the grim reapers' duty.

Jungkook closed his eyes and sighed, "Just enjoy human life, for now, Jeon. Care about your work the next day, after all, you have thirty days anyway." He said to himself.

They felt as if they're an alien at the moment. Human things are so foreign to both of them. So many things are to be discovered. And it's not going to be easy.

"She gave us phones, too. Am I right? You call this phone, right?" Minjun asked and waving the aforesaid material carelessly.

Jungkook frowned and glanced at the black rectangular object them back at Minjun, "Phone? I thought this is called a touch screen?" He asked and tapped the phone everywhere until it turns on accidentally.

"But she said this is a cellphone..." Minjun slowly sat up and shook the phone, "How did that light up?" He asked while Jungkook swiped up, accidentally unlocking it, "Oh damn, I'm a pro with this thing." Jungkook said proudly.

After an hour or two, the two eventually got a hang of it.

Minjun yawned, "Okay, I didn't do that purposel--" his sentence was interrupted by another yawn.

Jungkook raised his eyebrows, "How'd you do that? Gosh, Miss Chinmae should have at least told us how to use this..." He said.

You might ask that are they that dumb that they don't even know how to yawn or what a yawn means? Well, it's because, in the grim world, they don't sleep they rest.

Grims don't sleep. That's what they always say. They don't yawn since they don't sleep.
They don't have cell phones either, but instead, they use books and mind links when they want to talk to someone who is far away from them. That's why they're having a hard time using the device.

"Okay, phone says that we should close our eyes in order to sleep. And a higher rank texted me to sleep because we have school tomorrow." Minjun informed.

Jungkook groaned, "I really forgot that we have school tomorrow." He said.

Minjun laughed, "At least it's not grim school." He said and put down his phone. Jungkook shivered at the thought of Grim School. Grim School is where they are trained to be a good grim reaper when they are kids. The teachers are very strict and terrifying. Entering Grim School is a nightmare and they're not even exaggerating.

The grims closed their eyes and immediately fell into a deep slumber.

Jungkook and Minjun walked into the huge building of the school where Taehyung goes to.

Students threw flirty glances towards the two. They effortlessly turned everyone's heads towards them.

Jungkook and Minjun wore the uniform and gloves that the higher rank gave them last night.

Chinmae (The Higher Rank) said that she managed everything already and that they only need to take their schedule and dorm room. She added that the principal had been told that they have a disease that doesn't let them touch other people so it will be easier to explain why they couldn't touch other humans.

If ever they accidentally touch a soul that does not have their name on the grim's book yet, the person will just collapse and not die.

Jungkook groaned, "They look at us as if they're going to eat us or something..." He said to the other male beside him.

"Well, who wouldn't look at us? We enrolled here during the last semester and we're undeniably handsome." Minjun smirked.

Jungkook chuckled, "Okay, whatever." He simply said and opened the principal's office door slowly.

"Hi! I'm guessing that you guys are the transferees. Come sit while I print out your schedules." The principal, Mrs. Chae, smiled at them warmly.

The grim reapers sat on the chairs that are placed in front of the lady's table.

Jungkook bit his lips, his dark orbs roaming around the wide air-conditioned room. The walls are painted white to give off a wider look. Picture frames decorated the wall behind Mrs. Chae nicely.

"Here it is. Don't worry, I've already told the teachers that you guys are under that you are not allowed to touch us and we're not allowed to touch you vice versa." She informed and handed them their dorm keys and schedule.

"Thank you so much, ma'am." They bowed in unison and left the office.

They walked through the hallway, feeling as if they're some kind of kings when the students made way for them as they pass by.

"I kinda like this, but let's not enjoy this too much," Minjun said in a low tone.

Jungkook nodded quietly, face blank, and occasionally looking at some students.

"This is it. I can see the human." Minjun whispered to Jungkook. The raven-haired male looked at where Minjun was pointing and immediately saw Taehyung's wide blue eyes already staring at him in shock.

"He's drop-dead gorgeous. And he'll be literally dead any moment." Minjun snorted.

Or maybe not.

Jungkook blinked and looked away from the innocent-looking male.

The chatters died down as they stepped foot inside the once loud and chaotic classroom.

"Is that them?"

"Oh my gosh, they're more handsome than my boyfriend."

"Oppa! Suck my oppai."

"Can ya'll shut up? You guys are gonna scare the two. What the heck."

Jungkook ignored the whispers that he heard and scanned the classroom, looking for an empty seat.

Damn, humans are weird.

Taehyung froze, recognizing both of the grims.

"Do you know them, Tae?" Jimin asked and nudged the aforementioned boy.

Taehyung giggled and nodded, "They were in my hospital room when I woke up. I don't know why they were there..." He said, looking at Jungkook and Minjun.

"Hey! Didn't our adviser told us not to touch them? Soomin, keep your hands to yourself." Jin said sternly as he is the class president.

Jungkook and Minjun walked towards the group of friends. The raven-haired male avoiding Taehyung's eyes that contrasted with his dark and cold ones.

"Is this seat available?" Minjun asked while pointing at the seat in front of Taehyung's desk.

Jimin hummed, "Yep, and the seat next to Taehyung is available, too." He informed.

"Okay, thank you," Jungkook said and sat beside the blond male.

"You may ask why we don't sit next to each other since we're best friends. It's because the teacher separated us since our gossips are louder than their lectures." Hoseok said out of nowhere.

"They didn't ask, Hobi..." Jimin laughed.

Gosh, should I just touch Taehyung right now and then get back to being a grim reaper?
