"Finally.. are you always this slow?"
"Ugh, what?" I opened my eyes and looked around. A strange man was standing right next to me. He had red hair and was wearing a white shirt with a black tie and black pants.
He looked like a businessman.
I was inside a gray room
"where am I?.. and who in the hell are you?"
"Just a simple employee, unfortunately"
"What?!" I sat up and stared at the strange person "What the fuck are you talking about?!And how did I get here?" I scoffed
"Oh, you died" he answered with a smile as if that was a normal thing to say
"That's it. I'm calling the police!"
I checked for my phone but couldn't find it anywhere, then I remembered my fall
"I should go to a hospital" I said, but strangely enough my head didn't hurt at all
"I said you died. Why would you need a hospital?"
"Get away from me, you weirdo! I'm leaving" I stood up and tried to walk away to which he responded with a groan
"Great, another one in denial" he grabbed my hand and pulled me making me stand right in front of him "Look" his hand turned black he extended it, going straight through me..
"What the f~" I shouted and fell back to the floor
"You better stay the fuck away from me!! What was that?! Who are you?!"
A heavy sigh escaped his mouth and he slowly walk towards me
"Listen.." he sat on the floor next to me
"You fell down the stairs, and died"
"T-That can't be~"
I was having a panick attack "Is this h-heaven?"
"Heaven?" he chuckled "No. This is a more special place"
"What do you mean a more special place?"
"When people die, sometimes they are chosen"
"Chosen for what?" I couldn't believe i was actually having this conversation
"We are the ones sent to collect people's live energy when their time to die arrives. You could call it their souls.
Nobody knows how we are chosen though. Those orders come from a higher command"
"A higher..command.." I kept repeating everything in my mind, trying to understand
"Are we like reapers?" I tilted my head
"That is not a real thing, please focus"
"But how did you..?"
"We can materialize ourselves most of the time, but usually we can just go right through stuff"
He stood up and offered his hand
"Come on, it's time for you to begin your training"
"M-my training?"
"You have to follow my orders. My name is Hoseok.. you'll be under my care"
We walked through a long hallway
"Where are we going?" I asked practically running behing this Hoseok guy
"Would you slow down?"
"No, I won't. You took forever to wake up so now we have to hurry"
"Where are we going anyways?"
"To see my supervisor"
"Supervisor.." this is fucking insane
"Wait, are you're dead too?!"
"Ding ding ding we have a winner ladies and gentlemen" he sarcastically laughed without slowing down for a second
"You don't have to be a jerk.." I mumbled "So how did you die"
"Car crash. Oh and by the way, don't ask him about that. He's kind of sensitive about his death"
"How did he die?"
"He choked on some lamb skewers"
"Pffft hahahahaha"
"Shh, be quiet. Ugh, this is gonna be a hard one" he complained as we finally reached a door
He opened it and there was this boy, I'd say he was around my age.
White hair, actually really pretty.
He was seating behind a desk, paying attention to some papers. He was wearing glasses and the same outfit as Hoseok
Is this like their uniform?
"This is my boss, Min Yoongi. You follow my orders, and I follow his.. so by definition, he's your boss too"
He stared at me with cold eyes
"Are you sure about this?" he asked Hoseok
"No, but it wasn't my decision. He just needs some training. I'll go get the stuff"
Hoseok walked passed him, he signaled for me to stay quiet as he was gone
Yoongi stared at me, he didn't look sociable at all, then went back to whatever he was doing
I had to say something
"So.. lamb skewers huh?"
......
"Okay so I brought the t~" Hoseok looked around "Where's Jimin?"
"I kicked him out" he said not even looking at Hoseok
"Ugh, again? You did the same to me"
"Because you both don't know when to shut up. Also, send him to do his first job"
"Already?!"
"If he has time to be funny then he should know how to do stuff alreafy"
"That's real mature, Yoongi. I'll just go look for him"
Jimin was outside the room, staring at something that looked like a mirror
"Is this..?" he asked as he heard Hoseok get closer
"Yes, this is what we use to go from this world to what used to be yours"
"Wow.."
"Okay so, good news.. I can show you a couple things now. Bad news, you've already been assigned"
"What?! But I don't even know how things around here work! What am I even supposed to do?!"
"That's why i'm gonna need you to pay attention, okay?
And most importantly, remember.. they won't see you unless they're about to die"
