Third Person POV

Jungkook woke up earlier than usual the next day. Groaning, he shuffled off the bed as thin rays of sunshine hit his eyes through the partly closed blinds opposite his bed. He opened the blinds and stood at his full-length window, admiring the sun at dawn. Being autumn, it was slightly cold in the mornings but he had checked the forecast the previous day which told him that later on, it should get quite hot.

He made his way to the bathroom letting out a deep sigh and blinking away the remnants of sleep he had at the corner of his eyes. He hopped into the shower, feeling his tense muscles relax under the heat of the water. Steam arose around the room as he continued (enough so that y'all nasties can't see shit. jk xD -A).

His shower ended as quickly as it had started - he hated long showers whether he was the one showering or not. Lazily, he wrapped a towel below his torso and dried his hair with another. He brushed his teeth slowly, taking his time as if he had nothing else to do. School being another two hours away, he had plenty of time to do what he'd like.

He walked into his apartment's kitchen, switching on the lights. The whole room gleamed under the bright, white light. The harsh lighting made him squint slightly as he raked a hand through his curly, damp hair. Jungkook grabbed a bowl from the shelf and a box of cereal, pouring in the milk first. He sat on the high chairs opposite the big window in which he could see the sun peeking from behind his school.

Noisily, his phone rang and he groaned at the need of getting up. He considered ignoring the call but opted to answer it. Jimin.

"Holy shit Ju-"

"Woah, calm down. Hi, Hello. What's up?"

"It's Junwoo. His body was found dead at the bar last ni- Wait, turn your TV on,"

Jungkook's blood ran cold, his heart was billowing at his ears as he tried to comprehend what his friend had just said. Hands trembling, he fumbled around the sofa for the remote. When at last he found it he switched it on, worrying at his bottom lip.

"Found it yet? Erm, it's on channel 58"

Jungkook held his breath, he knew Jimin wouldn't lie about such a thing but part of him didn't fully believe, didn't fully understand how it was possible. He didn't want to. But it was true, the proof was there right before his eyes. The corpse of Kim Junwoo, whom he had despised but a classmate all the same. His eyes widened in shock and fear - it had to be a coincident, right? He squeezed his eyes shut.

"Jungkook, hello?"

His heart beat was racing and he found it difficult to breathe. Slowly, he put his phone to his ears again whilst opening his eyes, "I'll see you at school,"

"Jungkook wai-"

Jungkook couldn't believe it. A feeling of excitement, fear and energy buzzed through his body. He held the book in his hands, turning it over and looking carefully on each page looking for something, anything. It was obvious the thing had a previous owner, how else would the first pages have been ripped out? In frustration, he tugged at his hair. What should he do?

'You can become powerful, keep it'

A small, subtle yet powering voice crept up at the back of Jungkook's mind. His face was awash with confusion. He felt the need to reply but felt stupid, as if though he would've been talking to himself if he did. A buzz of energy ran throughout his entire body, top to toe and a shiver made way down his spine. His whole body felt light as if a great weight had been taken off his chest and as if he was floating on clouds. His knuckles went white as the grasp on the book went tighter.

'Don't take these moments and my instructions for granted'

Each time it spoke, it spoke with a louder voice. Jungkook's breathing slowed down and his mind went entirely blank. His eyes rolled back and he fell back onto his bed, the book still tightly clutched in his hands.

"Oh shit!" Jungkook whispered under his breath. He stretched out his arms feeling a painful cramp in his right shoulder. He winced in slight pain. His eyes blinked slowly a few times as he adjusted to the light again. Glancing at his alarm clock, he realised he was late for school. Reaching out, he found his phone on the bedside table. 2 missed calls and 3 message from Jimin. Sighing, he unlocked his phone.

'Jungkook where r u?'

Missed call: Jimin (1)

'Everyone is talking about Junwoo, I know ur ex cheated on u with him but I feel sorry for him. They still haven't found out how he died either'

'You're late'

Missed call: Jimin (2)

Jungkook sighed and heaved himself off the bed, the cramp worsening as he stretched his hand. He ignored the pain that started to spread now, dismissing it knowing the pain will cease to exist later. Late was an understatement, he had missed the first three lessons. His eyes widened, how could he have slept for so long? His head was throbbing, he looked intently at the book, trying to look through it and decipher it's magic.

He'd never heard of 'The Death Note' before but he had a some sort of clever - or evil - idea on how to use it. Such an idea could result in a better world, one full of happiness. He'd be like God, stopping the suffering of all good people and ending the lives of those who do bad. It makes him a good guy right?

He had a long list of people whose name he could write down. People in jail, bullies at school, worldwide criminals, terrible people on the news - all he needed was a name and a face. He could easily search people up and send them to their deaths.

And that's what he was going to do. . .

A.N/ Yay, I finally posted the second chapter! Don't worry, things will get heated up soon. I've already written the last or second to last chapter (not giving any hints) I wrote all of this in school as fast as I could while I was walking around so it isn't that good. It isn't proofread either lmao. I can't wait to introduce Taehyung and to describe him and stuff (I like describing people) since he's my ult bias. I love him, and BTS and Taekook. Namjin, Yoonmin and Yoonseok too.

Another thing is (this is slightly more important so please do read), I've been doing some research on schooling in Korea and I found out that the school day for high schoolers is like 12-16 hours? And that they wake up at around 2AM for private tuitions meaning most people only get around 3 hours of sleep. Well in this story, it won't be like that. It will be more similar to the American/English schooling. In addition to this, I AM NOT KOREAN. I don't understand any of the traditions etc. but I will be putting heavy research into this book to make it as realistic as possible. But as a heads up, not everything will be accurate and if you see anything I could improve just leave a comment, possibly DM me :)

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoy the rest!
