"I am not changing any of my words, Jake Robb.. I mean Jake. I am just saying that if you want to wake up tomorrow morning, then you can't sleep here. Please just cooperate with me, okay?" The Grim reaper pleaded with him.
Jake wanted to argue more with him but then again thought that his main priority should be going back to his previous life than staying in this stupid dream.
Hence, he sighed before looking back at the annoying man again, "Okay. Tell me then, where should I sleep to 'wake up' again."
The grim reaper gave him a cheeky grin and gave a fake laugh before saying, "You just go back to your body and sleep inside your body that was now lying on the operation theater."
Though Jake did not understand the need to do so, he still felt that it is not such an unreasonable condition either. After all, even if one was sleeping, there were scientific proofs that one's soul would leave their body and they can wake up as soon as they enter back into their bodies.
Hence, he felt his request was reasonable and nodded his head, "Oh, okay then."
The grim reaper sighed in relief as soon as Jake agreed to his words without asking anymore of his questions. He really had a headache facing his huge string of questions earlier. He doesn't want to face them ever again.
He gestured for Jake to walk, "This way please, Jake Robb.. I mean Jake."
Jake rolled his eyes and shook his head before walking in the direction he just showed him.
From his previous experience, he already understood that he can pass through things easily and thus there is no need to go in the direction of a door, open the damn thing and enter to reach his destination.

Of course being lazy helps in being smart.
Hence he used his 'new ability' to simply pass through the wall and directly enter the operation theater next door.
When he saw his own body still lying on the bed, he felt chills through his spine. After all, seeing oneself is too creepy to even describe. Of course, only if it is not in a mirror.
From the corner of his eyes, he could even see some blood spilling out of his own body. In general, he would not mind seeing blood, but the situation he was in at this moment made him unable to face the blood from his own body.
Hence he decided to simply shut his eyes before he went and slept over his body.
He expected for his soul to enter his body just like how it would happen in the movies. But he did not feel anything different.
Instead he felt like he was still sleeping over a man's body.
He opened his eyes and slowly with his eyes shivering, he turned his head sideways so he could take a glance at his bottom.
He found himself lying down on his own body and at such a close proximity, he was scared to see the blood and from his own head.
"Ahh!!!" He screamed before jumping down and shouting again, "Reaper guy. Where did you go, man?"
"What is it, Jake Robberfeld? Why are you still standing here? Didn't I tell you to sleep on your body?"
Jake gave him a fake smile and spoke with dripping sarcasm, "I just wanted to give you a damn goodbye kiss. Otherwise wouldn't I miss your cute and beautiful face once I go back to my body?"
The Grim reaper did not notice his sarcasm and visibly blushed, "Jake Robberfeld, I did not know that you have such good feelings about me. But if you are late, you won't be able to enter your body. It is better to hurry up."
Jake was shocked at this man's blush. 'Just how straight is this guy to not even notice my sarcasm?'
But then again he scoffed when he heard his second part of the words, "Oh really? You think so?" He then lost his fake smile and gritted his teeth before he barked at him, "Dude, I already tried but I couldn't enter my damn body. I was literally laying on own fucking body. Do you know how terrible it is to experience? Did you ever do that shit?"
The grim reaper frowned and calmly said, "Jake Robberfeld, I suggest you to refrain from cursing so as not to increase the number of sins you commit in your lifetime."
After saying that he realized the meaning behind all of Jake's words and widened his eyes in shock. He instantly shouted, "You can't enter your body?"
