The Bracelet Club [EXO]

case of the two chens 1/3

The memories that will fill our two hands are our precious story

If the heart full of sincerity can remember it after time has passed

Will you be able to say it?

That you were happy too?

-That's Okay, Kyungsoo

We stood by the side of the street in an abandoned alley right in front of the EXO high school entrance, Kyungsoo assessing the situation in front of us. Baekhyun stood there with his lips pursed, Matthew nodding as if he had seen this before. We told the others to head to school first because it was hard for us to tell them what was going on without knowing what the problem was.

Chanyeol seemed to know that we were handling something, the tall male telling all our friends to enter EXO High.

"Look, I'm saying," the Chen who was a spirit said. "A day ago, I kind of felt dizzy, and then I went to the emergency room. They gave me something and I fell asleep. While I was asleep, I had a dream and when I woke up, I stood up and was about to walk away to pay when I looked back and saw that my body was lying there."

"And then I woke up. In this young man's body," Chen's body said, a grin on his face. "I was visited by a Grim Reaper. He told me that I have seven days. Free Will, they call it. The night before this happened, I prayed to the gods because a young girl I was looking over had passed away and ascended."

"How long were you a ghost?"

"Three hundred years," he answered. "I am a property ghost and the only reason why I can't ascend is because my fellow army men haven't."

"Another war dude," Kyungsoo mumbled under his breath.

"And the Grim Reaper said 'Find Do Kyungsoo,'" Chen's body said, motioning to Kyungsoo. "The owner of this young lad's body here told me to call you through the talking device but you hung up."

"Yesterday? I didn't have his number saved. I thought it was a scammer," Kyungsoo replied, stroking his chin. "And the said Grim Reaper... is his name Tako, by any chance?"

"No idea," Chen's spirit replied, shrugging. "He had a sombrero hat, though."

"Ah, that little bugger," Kyungsoo murmured, rolling his eyes. "Of course, he would pass on the task to me. Over the summer, he visited my father and said that it was time I took my handling duties to another level. Didn't know it would be managing a ghost who had Free Will."

"I've seen this kind of case before," Matthew piped up. "But usually, I see the ghost solidifying into a normal person. Why would they allow a ghost to possess Chen's body?"

"Because, Matthew... imagine a 300-year-old ghost in an army costume walking around without any knowledge of what a phone is. A talking device, he called it." Kyungsoo snapped. It seemed like he didn't expect this to happen. "And that being said—"
