Its been a very long time since Ive written anything so there may be some minor grammar errors. minor changes will be made if I spot any mistakes.I am also very excited to write this story! I came up with this idea a few weeks ago before Bangtans comeback and its just jsldjskadjsak and now theyre all wearing cloaks like the Grims in my story- its a huge coincident.So, the prologue is a bit short but the chapters that follow will be between 5K-8K word count. I will also try my best to update as quickly as I can. Also, one last thing... this whole story is based off of my imagination so anything doing with the grim reaper may not be accurate or whatever. This is a whole concept/alternate universe I made up. Thank-you and enjoy! bg & poster cr. thanks to sakuretta @ sakuretta graphic shop.LINK cr: jaecomponents / jaeprints
