Work Text:
Namjoon looks at the next name on the list - Min Yoongi; Age - 25 . It’s three in the morning and Namjoon has been busy for the entire day. He had to send 9 people to the afterlife, explaining the same process over and over again and even hear them whine about how they want to live some more or hear them complain about how even after death they don’t get to choose what they want.
Namjoon was tired and only hoped that his next guest would be easy to handle. He reached the destination and saw the body lying on the floor of the living room but the soul was nowhere to be seen. Namjoon pulled his hair in frustration and said, “I have to find a runaway soul at this hour.” Namjoon let himself be angry for a while and then he closed his eyes to calm himself down and said, “Okay, I’ll check the house first.”
Namjoon checked every corner of the house but there was no sign of Min Yoongi’s soul. He hoped the soul would be upstairs and to his own surprise he was right. Yoongi’s soul was sitting in front of a computer screen, working. It took Namjoon by surprise when he saw that the soul was actually working instead of other souls he had met who ruined other’s work out of frustration and jealousy.
“Found ya!” Namjoon said as he held Yoongi’s soul by shoulder. Yoongi looked at him with panic on his face and pushed Namjoon out of the room and locked it from inside. Yoongi went back to his computer and started working.
Outside the room, Namjoon sighed. He teleported himself in the room and said, “Why are you running from me?”
“Yah! Can’t you stay out of the room? Don’t you see I’m working?” Yoongi shouted.
“First of all, I am older than you and second of all, I’m a grim reaper and I am here to take you to your afterlife.” Namjoon said. Yoongi rolled his eyes, turned around on his chair so that he was facing the screen and said, “I don’t have time to go to the afterlife. I have to complete these tracks so that my boyfriend can publish them, become famous and fulfill his dream of becoming an idol.”
“You can’t just say that!” Namjoon shouted.
“I can and I will!” Yoongi shouted back. “My bunny wants me to produce his first album and I’ll do anything to fulfill his wish.”
“I believe he can ask other producers for help with his album and I have never heard of any producer with the name Yoongi.” Namjoon said. He isn’t sure why he isn’t just teleporting both of them to his office and listening to the Yoongi guy complain how he wants to work, ok it’s probably because Namjoon has never seen anyone who wants to work even after they are dead.
Yoongi was shocked to hear that the grim reaper had knowledge about music and producers so he turned around so that he was facing the supernatural creature in the room and asked, “Do you know Agust D then?”
“Of course, who doesn’t know Agust D? There is a grim reapers fan page about Agust D on twitter too if you aren’t aware.” Namjoon huffs.
“Oh, you use twitter?” Yoongi says amused. “Isn't the room familiar?” Yoongi questioned the grim reaper.
“Wait a minute,” ‘there it is’ - Yoongi thought “the studio looks similar to Agust D’s studio. You are Agust D?” Namjoon asked, making Yoongi smirk in response confirming Namjoon’s question. “Can I get your autograph, please?” Namjoon asked, politely.
“Yes, only after I am done working and after you fulfill one more wish of mine.” Yoongi said.
Yoongi finished working on the last song of the album after three hours, around 7 in the morning. When he was about to email the files to Jungkook, the grim reaper told him to write a letter instead because emailing after being dead will be suspicious and Yoongi does that.
Yoongi thanks Namjoon -yes, he knows the grim reaper’s name now- and told him his last wish.

Namjoon and Yoongi were both standing on the stage, invisible to every human eye, as they watched Jungkook -Yoongi’s bunny- perform.
“I know you are watching me hyung. I just want you to know that I’ll always love you.” Jungkook said before taking a final bow at the crowd and Namjoon watched Yoongi staring at his bunny as tears stained his cheeks.
“Let’s go, Namjoon.” Yoongi said, a satisfied look on his face.
Namjoon teleports them both to his office where he gives Yoongi the tea with which he will forget all the memories from this life and move on but Yoongi rejects to drink the tea and proceeds to heaven taking all the little amount of memories he has. Before leaving he gives Namjoon his autograph as he promised and also a playlist of all his songs, published and unpublished.
After Yoongi took the stairs to heaven, Namjoon wondered how beautiful Yoongi’s and Jungkook’s souls were as neither of them were selfish. Even after seeing Yoongi’s dead body in the living room, Jungkook didn’t wish for his boyfriend to come back alive. Even after watching Jungkook perform, Yoongi didn’t wish to stay at least for a day more. Namjoon learned about true love from them and now he can just wish for them to meet again, probably in heaven or in their next life writing another love story.
