The Bracelet Club [EXO]

case of the midnight man 4/4

When we reached Kyungsoo's apartment, we were hit by surprise when we saw Father Do Kyungmin. Kyungsoo's pastor of a father seemed to be waiting for us, his eyes studying us closely when he looked over at me. I knew Kyungsoo must have told him something, all of us shifting awkwardly under his gaze.

"I had only a few hours of sleep," Kai complained under his breath, Kyungoo telling him that sleep was for the weak. "But it's good to see you again, Father Kyungmin."

"And I, you," Kyungmin answered. "It has come to my attention that my ambitious son had decided to take on a demon that is a bit too powerful. Am I going to stop him? No. But I'm here to make sure to lessen all the casualties."

"The only casualty we'll have is Bora if this doesn't go as planned. Whatever you have planned, Kyungsoo." Matthew hissed and I cleared my throat. Matthew wasn't covering his disapproval and Kyungsoo sighed, tapping his hand on the table. "What are we doing here, by the way?"

"From what I have heard from my son, we need all the help we can get."

"My words, exactly," Kyungsoo murmured. "My father had contacted the Grim that was there that night. We go from there."

With less than a beat, there was a knock on the door and it flew open, Kyungsoo quickly standing up to bow lowly at the person who just arrived. I looked over at the door, blinking when I saw no one.

"Oh, bullocks!" A female's voice rang out and there was a thud, Kyungsoo keeping his body at a 90-degree angle. "The last time I was on Korean grounds didn't end well for me."

"Your hat, Ms. Granger," Father Kyungmin said and much to our surprise, a woman appeared in front of us. She had a pixie cut and wore a black cloak. Her face was well sculpted and she held a black hat in her hand when she looked at us. "Most of them are counters. They are the ones who need help."

"Counters?" Granger asked, stepping forward to lean towards Chanyeol. "Ah, yes. Yes. Are they registered as counters?"

"Only Bora," Kyungoo replied in English and even I had no idea what he was talking about. What registered? Registered to do what? "Chanyeol is in the process but he's still rather useless."

"Hey!" Chanyeol exclaimed, the newly arrived Grim Reaper nodding with satisfaction.

"You'll have to register the rest too, young Do. Or you'll have to face the pressure of the management team. Especially if you keep telling them things they shouldn't know in the first place," she quipped, placing her hat down on the table and finally giving all of us a bow. "Hermione Granger, Grim Reaper of European grounds. Defeated a few demons here and there but failed to get rid of Corvius Novak, that bloody little wanker."

I tried to process her words but British English wasn't my forte and I could tell my friends were going through the same thing.

"What is a Granger?" Baekhyun asked me and I dropped my voice into a whisper.
