"Why are you leaving me? WHY?!"
Kim Seokjin stared at the distraught woman before him. She was on her knees in the middle of the street; the shattered glass all about her seeming to be as shattered as her soul. Seokjin stood near the pretzeled vehicle as the woman screamed out into the night, scooping the limp body with the bloodstained lips into her arms.
"I've lost everything! Everything! Why do you have to take him too?"
Kim Seokjin turned off to his left where a translucent version of the battered body stood beside him. The man looked heartbroken to see the woman in the road so distraught.
"Please don't do this to her. She has already suffered so much loss in her life," begged the man beside Seokjin. "I'm the only person she has left. If you take me away, you're basically ensuring her death yourself."
Seokjin tried to tune out the man, looking at the watch on his wrist. He had five more minutes to deliver this soul or he'd miss the train. This was his first job, and he couldn't botch it.
"I'm sorry, Park Jung-Hoon. There is nothing I can do."
"Even if there is nothing you can do for me," he begged. "Please do something for her."
"That's not in my job description..." started Seokjin before the woman's animalistic cries from the road drew his eyes back to her.
Seokjin wasn't supposed to care about the pain of loss. After all, it wasn't him that caused that pain. Yet, he couldn't help but to feel a human part of him come alive at her loss. It may not be a part of his job description - but for some reason he couldn't explain - he found himself wanting to help this woman live.

Here I go again. 😂🙈
I keep telling myself to focus - but when I do that - my mind still teases me with new ideas. I can't help but to write them down when that happens and sometimes the ideas are just so good they demand to be written. Hence the birth of this idea.
I apologize in advance for the teaser and description being in need of TLC. The idea literally came to me earlier this afternoon, and I've been trying to toy with it ever since.
Hopefully you'll like this idea. It's based on a K-Drama I saw called Tomorrow. I'm taking slight elements from that to infuse in this idea. Obviously I'm not ripping off the entire thing because that's plagiarism.
This book will also have darker themes than normal which is why it will be marked 'mature'. It will have some dark themes like at the beginning of Traitor's Song, but obviously there will be a bit more of a focus on it.

Enjoy BTS dancing while we await the results.

This work is a work of fiction (in first draft form) that does not reflect in any way, shape or form the ideals of those it is portraying. I'm also not - in any way, shape, or form - affiliated with BTS or HYBE. This is merely meant as a piece of entertainment.
This work is an original work of mine, so please refrain from plagiarism. (NovelHD - or NovelWW as you're calling yourself now - don't think I don't see you).
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this book, and will try to post the chapters in as timely a fashion as I can.
