I braced myself for the wrath of the jagged stones below but the wave of excruciating pain  never came but crash down and receded instead.

I propped myself up on the white sandbto get a better look at my surroundings.

Shielding my eyes from the harsh rays was a canopy of vegetation entwined with vivid flowers .

I glanced around and sure enough it was the exact same rock pool I had fallen into.

I felt nothing but the cool calm ocean waves  washing up my thigh.

Rather than being well.. dead my body felt light and rested like I had awoken from a long deep slumber.

All my confusion was cleared up all at once at the sight of a body laying before me.

And boy did they mean it when they said ignorance was bliss.

If it wasn't for the striking red hair and my favourite jacket that shell of a once bright and cheerful human would be beyond identifiable.

My stomach dropped my heart dropped and probably my pants too as my brain finally registered the identity of the deceased

Grim understanding of my current situation settled onto me like a thousand bricks.

Standing or rather floating beside my body was an apparition of a young handsome boy draped in black robes, a razor sharp schyte clutched in one hand.

"Please whoever you are... I'm begging you to not do it!!" I begged.

I've never thought I'll see the day my dignity would be thrown out the window faster than a piece of lingerie.

" I have to, it's the rules" he replied in a firm voice, the icy beauty showing no signs of cracking.

" Please good sir, I'll do anything I have so much life ahead of me" But rather than giving me a sympathetic gaze he broke out into a fit of hollow, humourless laughter.

"You?! the person who's been willingly dancing around the fingers of death's grip everyday is begging to live?? Bwahahaha!!"

Just as quickly his laughter had come it went, his stoic expression returnedonce more.

Oh boy have you mistaken if you think you can talk me into submission.

Time to use my secret weapon.

"I'm begging you, I'm sure you've been young before.. please if you'll give me a day to proof myself will you give me a second chance in life?" To my relief an amused smirk spread across his face.

" Well this sounds like fun... you've got yourself a deal" He concluded in a business like tone and held out a skeletal hand to shake.

" Thank you! thank you! mister grim reaper I'll not let you down!!" I shoke his hand merrily, flashing the broadest smile in my life.

"It's Taehyung, Kim Taehyung not Mister Grim Reaper by the way" he corrected, that man killing smirk still on his lips as he disappeared into thin air.

When his form was totally gone only did it dawn on me the shit I've just dug myself in.

Ah great, an idiot who can't persuade his teacher to give him a extra marks on his test is going to convince a grim reaper to prolong his life.

Perfect!!!perfect!! perfect!
