Lucky that the YC hospital his mother mentioned was a few minutes away from where he was, he knows the location very well because it's where he lived for two whole years and it's the same road he had been driving daily while going for work.

He only realized he had no money to pay for a taxi when he was about to ask one for a lift and that's how he ended up running till he reached the hospital but didn't expect to get so tired that his legs almost gave up.

It was nothing compared to how he usually used to worked out daily but he forgot he's inside a woman's body weaker than his own.

He was panting hard as he walked towards the receptionist, he couldn't even form a proper word while trying to catch his breath.
It took a pair of minutes for the lady in reception to find his name from the list and finally, he dragged his exhausted feet towards the way the lady lead him to.

And there, he saw his parents, his sister and his girlfriend in front of the ICU. They all looked totally drained out, specially his mother.

It's been long since he met them, he missed them. But this is not how he wanted to see his family after a long time.

He saw his girlfriend hugging and gently patting on his mother's back to comfort her and that sight broke him.

He never brought his girlfriend to meet his parents formally because of his work and busy schedules eventhough his parents constantly asked him to bring her home for a meal together.

And it's so heartbreaking that this is how he brings his girlfriend to meet his parents— only by being in ICU and all he could do was watch them cry for him from afar.

"Mr. Kim, the patient is still unconscious because of the surgery. Let's wait for him to wake up."

Taehyung was about to turn away because he couldn't bare to see them that way when he heard the doctor's voice.

"Is my son alright? Everything is fine, right? When will he wake up?"

Taehyung peeked from the wall to see his mother sobbing as she spoke with the doctor.

"Don't worry Mrs. Kim. The patient is alright, it may take a few days for him to get his conciousness, probably after 2 or 3 days but not longer than a week."

Taehyung let out a relieved sigh to hear that. Not longer than a week? So that means he might be able to go back to his body in less than a week, right? He can endure at least some days until he goes back.

Standing in front of the hospital and looking around, nobody seemed to have the same situation as he does. Everybody seemed to be living their lives as usual with no changes.
But there he was; his life completely changed in just one night. He's still the same person he was yet so different than he used to be.

A smile mixed with sadness rushed to his lips when his eyes fell on his girlfriend walking out of the hospital.
"I'm so sorry. It must be so hard for you too, isn't it?" He murmured alone.

He was about to tear up but you know what he just saw?

His girlfriend smiling so brightly as she ran towards the arms of a guy he had never seen before.

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows. He sure thought he knew all of her friends. But he had never seen this guy before. What's even more annoying is that the two are literally hugging each other as if they are couples-

"Huh? What the-?"

Taehyung's eyes widened when he saw the two... kissing. Wait kissing? Sadly, yes.

"No. No. She'll never do this," he really tired hard to convince himself, "I may have mistaken her for someone else. She'll never-"

"What about your boyfriend? Is he okay?"

He heard the guy saying after they ended the kiss, arms still holding her.

"Oh him? He's still unconscious. Don't even know when he'll wake up. Who cares?"

Who... who cares?? Really? Is this even real? His girlfriend, sweet, caring and understanding girlfriend really said those lines?

"Well, but I care tho? Who will pay for our rent if he's like that? The rent is already due for last month."

"Forget it. He just has a pretty face and it must've been also ruined from the accident. And he doesn't even give us much. It's like a flick of finger to seduce another who can be our new bank. His pathetic mother even ruined my new dress with all her snot. So annoying."

That's it. That really triggered Taehyung's patience. He couldn't hold anymore. He can't believe he'd been such a fool to not realize what she'd been doing to him and behind  his back. And now, her insulting his mother really was the last straw to switch his anger button on.

"YOU!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"

The two snapped their heads towards the voice with a flinch, startled at the sudden shout.

"Who are you?" She gave her a confused look.

Ofcourse she wouldn't recognize him. It's just a random woman shouting in anger to her.

"OHH? WHO ARE YOU? YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT? YOU CHEATER! YOU LIAR! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME?!"

"Excuse me? I don't even know you? What did I even do to you?"

"HOW CAN YOU CHEAT ON ME? YOU'VE BEEN DATING THIS GUY WHILE YOU'RE STILL DATING ME? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATING?"

"What? Dating you?" The girl scoffed in disbelief of what she just heard, "I mean... why would I date a-"

"Babe? I didn't know you're a lesbian?"

"What? NO!! I AM NOT!!" She tried to defend herself to the guy, her secret boyfriend to be exact.
"She must be crazy. I don't even know who she is."

"I WON'T LET YOU TWO OFF EASILY!! BOTH OF YOU! I TRUSTED YOU! BUT THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR TRUSTING? HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO BEEN PLOTTING BEHIND MY BACK? HOW MUCH MONEY YOU WERE PLANNING TO TAKE FROM ME?? YOU-"

Taehyung was screaming his lungs out, not caring about people giving them weird looks, shouting his anger out to the two who almost looked terrified until two arms wrapped around him from behind to hold him back.

"I'm so sorry. This is my girlfriend. I'll apologize in her place. I'm so sorry for all the chaos she caused. Please forgive her."

Jungkook was bowing at the two and then to the crowds who were looking at the scene until everyone went away including the two cheaters. Yeah, cheaters is the most appropriate name for them.

Taehyung snuck himself off from the arms and glared at Jungkook, "why would you even apologize to them? They're the ones at the wrong."

Jungkook just shook his head as he grabbed Taehyung's wrist, "let's just go home. Okay?"

Taehyung tried to free his wrist from the grip but Jungkook just dragged him away.

"How did you find me?" Taehyung asked after Jungkook made him sit in front of a convenience store, his shoulders covered warmly by the coat Jungkook gave him.

"I followed you. You said you're going to hospital without any explanation after the call. I was so worried, you know? I thought something bad happened," Jungkook said as he opened the water bottle for him.

A moment of silence while Taehyung drank the whole bottle, his throat almost felt like it was scratched inside from all those running and screaming.

Jungkook just stared at him without saying anything eventhough his face and eyes were filled with questions.
He wanted to ask about everything; why his girlfriend went to the hospital, why was she screaming at the two unknown people, and specially, why she has been acting strange since she woke up.

"Do you want anything else? Shall we eat kimbap tonight? I'll go and get the groceries so wait for me here. You like the one I make the most, right?"
That's what he asked instead.

Taehyung already knew the other might have so many questions about what he just did. But he himself has no answer for that even if he actually asked. So he just nodded, just so it could be an excuse to get away from their awkwardness; and it sure did when Jungkook went inside the store.

He shouldn't have acted like that even if he was angry. He unnecessarily arose so many questions to Jungkook, someone who's close to the body he's in. It's obvious it'll be strange and weird for people who doesn't know what happened to their bodies. He knows he acted stupid and that he can't just ruin the woman's life because of his stupidity.

He covered his face with his palm when he realized he really did mess up, "Ugh! I didn't know I was this stupid."

"At least you know it now."

"Huh?"

Taehyung removed his hand from his eyes when he heard an unfamiliar voice only to see a man standing in front of him, devouring his whole body in a black coat over a white shirt, black pants, black tie, black shoes, and his pale lips was the only feature that's visible below the black hat that covered half of his face.

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows when the man sat on the chair in front of him where Jungkook sat before, with his leg crossed.

"Excuse me?"

Taehyung could see the pale lips curling up to a smirk. Is he someone Taeun knows? Or...by any chance... with the smirk and all those expensive and elegant looking clothes he's wearing, is he some kind of rich pervert or something?

"Do you... perhaps... know me?"
He didn't want to be rude to him, just in case if he's some acquaintance of Taeun.

"Of course I know. I know very well more than you think, Kim. Tae. Hyung-ssi."

Huh?

What did he just say? Kim Taehyung? Did the guy just say his name? How did he know it's him?

"W-who are you? How did you—"

The smirk of the man grew as he brought his hand to remove the hat, revealing his face.

Yeah, that face is definitely someone Taehyung clearly have never seen before. The man has sharp features, his black hair slicked back, has a questionably different aura which was quite scary for some reason he don't understand.

"Good to see you, Kim Taehyung-ssi. I'm-" he pause to keep the hat on the table between them, and with another smirk,

"I'm Lee Dong Wook, and that's my assistant."

Taehyung turned back to follow the Lee Dong Wook guy's finger gesturing him to see the another guy, who looked a bit younger but also all in black suits, standing behind him.

"Nice to meet you, Kim Taehyung-ssi. I'm Kwak Dong Yeon. You look beautiful," the younger smiled.

The later guy seemed to be more lighter and brighter than the first but Taehyung still has the "who are you guys" look written all over his face as he look at the two.

"Who are y... I mean... are you someone I know? Or... are you someone I supposed to know? But I'm sure you're not someone I know and I've never seen any of you before."

Curiosity floods over Taehyung as the man's smirk grows. The fact that both of them knows he's not the woman they see is... kinda scary... and strange too.

"Right. You don't know us. But we know who you are and you're supposed to know who we are. Because we are-"

The man's face still has the smirk as he put his leg down to bend his face forward towards Taehyung as he continued in a raspy whispering voice.

"Because we're Grim Reapers."
