Kang Min Seok sighed inwardly, he felt slightly disoriented in this body he had possessed. He hadn't expected it to work, not every human was possessing material after all. He was prepared to leave with this teenager if the possession hadn't work. On this Earth there was nothing that held him back. Min Seok couldn't help but feel up the boy he had possessed, he felt guilty. He wasn't a bad guy, he just wanted to mess with the boy when he had stolen his vessel. But now that he was in, surprisingly, the boy made no struggle after the initial fight.

'I should tell him to get a charm, if he is in this business then he needs to learn to protect himself.'

Now that he had possessed him. Min Seok wondered what he should do, but there was nothing he wanted to do. Past few years he had just walked around playing, fooling and occasionally stalking a certain person from his life.

'I should see them one last time,'

Unconsciously, or maybe consciously he started walking even before he made a decision as his mind flashed back to his life before death. He wasn't blessed with a family, nor parents but he had been blessed financially. He had struck gold as a software engineer, he had been a warlock behind a keyboard. By 19, big companies were chasing him, nationally and globally but he ended up working as a freelancer. It was when he was freelancing that he had met this older executive, who smiled at him, took him out for business meetings which eventually led to having dinner at his apartment. His heart was soon stolen, Min Seok breathed and lived for this person. Their smile made his stomach flutter butterflies, their smiles made him giddy, their sorrows broke his heart. Before he knew it, Min Seok was deeply in love. He would notice himself blush and shudder at the slightest touch or smile like a virgin wife on her first night. He was a 24 year old in love for the first time, his life had been full of struggles and this was his first time looking at anyone this way. He didn't even expect them to him back, he was just for their presence. He just wanted to ease the person life's worries. And he did just that;

Whenever the person had asked for money, Min Seok would simply write a check, when the person said their car broke, he had bought them a brand new Mercedes Benz. When the person cried, Min Seok wiped their tears.

But a human could hide everything except when they are drunk senseless or when foolishly in love. Of course it would have had to happen. He had slipped that one time when they had drunk together and he had dared to steal a kiss. The person had shoved him away, scaring him. He thought he had broken their already perfect relationship. They were older than him. He shouldn't have done it. He panicked but the next day they had come to his apartment drunk and kissed him senseless setting fireworks off in his heart.

Like this he had reached his late 20s, in love with this person with whom he couldn't be with due to circumstances. They were older than him and they worked in different fields. But his whole soul had felt like it belong to them. So, when he had met his untimely accident while walking back from a 24/7 store. He had lingered on Earth because he was worried that the person would be lost without him. Or so he had thought until he went to his own funeral to find there was no one, had he lived such a sad life that there was no one to pray for him? What about the person whom he loved? Min Seok couldn't find them for days after wandering.

His assets were given charity; he watched strangers rummage around his apartment. Still they did not appear, as a last resort, Min Seok went to the apartment he had gifted them. What he saw had literally made his soul leave, if he wasn't already a soul then he would have died a second death.

Min Seok felt his heart shatter, for a moment, he had wanted revenge, avenge himself. Scream or maybe throw things like in Poltergeist. But he ended up walking away, for a while, somehow he always ended up watching them, stalking them. Watching them make the same jokes, give the same kisses, eat meals at same restaurants he had gone with. He could have easily moved on to his after life yet something held him back. He didn't want to hurt them, didn't even want to haunt this person whom he had loved most of his life. Its just he felt sorry for himself. Appearance wise, he had a life that most envied yet at death he envied other funeral rooms from which cries could be heard. He had nothing in the end.

Now that he had to leave for real, Min Seok stood in front of an apartment and punched in the password he had seen them insert a million times. As expected the door dinged open and Min Seok walked in.

I know, this is kinda like a filler but once I started writing about Min Seok my heart just felt like he deserved a background for what is going to happen in next chapter.
