Clear eyes (Chenji)

Go with me Chenle

Or is it love?

It's evening, I'm still in his room, we got to know each other more, his name is Zhong Chenle. He got murdered by his family. His family ran off, hence the organized clean house. He got killed at age 22

He explained that once ghosts get killed their age gets stuck, meaning they cannot age anymore. He is stuck in here because his parents never made a proper grave to him.

He loves dogs, the color green, he doesn't know perfect Korean cause be moved at the age of 19 to Korean from China and he never really had many people to talk to with in Korean.

We were currently in his bed, i was in his arms, he was playing with my hair, talking about random things, answering my random questions. I would wanna stay here forever if i could. It felt so comfortable, his hands didn't feel cold anymore.

"What about the whole cold thingy?"

"Cold.. thingy?" He asked, in a confused tone

"Yea, the first time you touched me your hands were freezing cold, and today as well, but now your hands and whole body feel warm."

"Ohhh. Yea it's from happiness and love" he answered

"Huh.. are you joking around?" I asked

"No." He laughed. "It's cause ghosts take on other people's energy, it takes a few minutes but it works. Ghosts can only turn warm if the human has a warm emotion at that time. So if you were angry i would feel cold now." He explained

"Ohh.. so that means the whole years you were cold? Was it not hard?"

"Well we as ghosts don't expect to feel warm, we are dead either way. Of course it was hard and i felt like some sort of weeping ghost because i was crying of the constant and daily coldness"

"Oh.." i felt sad for him

"I honestly feel guilty for holding you right now. We ghosts shouldn't really do this" he sighs

"Why?" I look up to see him

"Well, some humans and ghost can get attached to one another. And there's a chance of them not meeting again."

"What about me..?" I asked

"Hmm?"

"Would you let me stay by your side?"

"It is your option whether you want to stay or not, Ji."

I hum, nodding and thinking about it. Would it hurt that much? It's not like I'll get awfully attached or anything.. right?? But i would cry so horrible at the end..

I ruffle my hair in frustration, why did i put myself in this, i could just run away from here, go back home and forget everything. But i would feel so fucking bad and i feel so comfortable with him already.

"Is there a way to get you out of this place?" I asked

"Hmm.. well yea, those like incense sticks i guess."

I stood up from the bed feeling the loss of warmth, but i had an idea and i wanted to try it. I opened the door and went around the house looking at cabins. Until i found the incense sticks and a lighter. I took it and lit up the incense stick and went to the stairs.

"Lele, come down." I yell

I heard the door open and i heard a quiet
"I'll try.."

Soon enough i saw him at the top of the staircase. I smiled widely and made my arms wide, waiting for him to come down for a hug.

He quickly went down the stairs, not caring if he falls down and jumps into my arms. We hugged tightly, Chenle felt such happiness and so did i. His touch felt so warm and cozy, making me want to stay like this forever.

"Go with me Chenle."
