Chapter 3

"Hey, little lady.. Aren't you wet?", Seongje chuckled as looked her up and down. He put his hands around her waist, and pulled her in, as the water from her hair started to drip on his hands.

"H-huh?! Hey! What do you think you're doing?", Seohyun spoke, nervous, as her ears started to turn red.

"You're really wet, you know that? Do you even know how to use a towel? Or perhaps.. you need.. some.. special assistance?", he smirked and pulled her closer, as the towel wrapped around gently started to reach its limits, and exposed some of her cleavage. "You're still as beautiful as always, Seohyun. If only you'd admit your feelings.."

"Let go of me, Seongje.. Please.", Seohyun looked down.

"Alright, alright.. I swear I liked you before you became Xiaoling's sister. You're just more boring and conserved now..", Seongje sighed as he backed up a bit, leaving Seohyun. "So tell me, why have you called me here?"

"I haven't, firstly. Xiaoling has. He thinks you're needed."

"Oh, and to you I'm not?"

"No. I got in a little bit of an accident-"

"Ya, you got shot, no shit Sherlock. But why?"

"That's why you've been called. Apparently, there's something wrong with my soul or whatever."

"Soul check? That's why? Cause you couldn't see yourself getting shot?"

"Yes. I don't even know how we'll even do this soul check. Do you know?"

"I do, in fact. Ughh.. I guess I'll have to explain everything.. So see, basically we're gonna try to check if there's something interrupting in the working of your soul."

"What?"

"To see if there's someone who's interrupting with the working of your soul. Probably from Celestia, or maybe you're supposed to die.. I don't know."

"I'm supposed to die? Why do you think that?"

"Because think about it. You never have been able to escape the hands of death. You have been able to protect yourself from harm, but never death. And every time you've ever died, you've only come out stronger."

"Yeah.. So you're saying I have a connection with death."

"Darling you don't even have a heart beat."

Seohyun looked at Seongje, stunned. "I'm not your darling! You moron.. But why or better, HOW did you arrive so quickly? You arrived before Vivi?"

"Cause I too, live in this society. And by the way, if you forgot, it's 5pm. You know where Vivi is.."

THE GYM

"Keep it going! You know you can do it! One more and left!", spoke an inspiring, charming girl. Silky blonde hair and blue eyes, a human life barbie, was our Vivi.

Her phone chimed. "Excuse me!", she spoke softly, charming all the girls training with her as she left to check her phone. She looked at the message with clear annoyance.

SEOHYUN'S HOUSE

Seongje's phone rang. "Do you know what the fuck this is? Soul check? Really? Now?"

"Yes, Vivi. We have to. I don't want to die in the hands of Xiaoling, you know.."

"I know, I know. How does Seohyun feel about this?"

"Eh.. she's ok. In fact, she's real fine, if you ask me.."

"Ya, Seongje!", Seohyun shouted from afar.

"Bye, Vivi. Come before Xiaoling arrives. He.. went to pick the glue which holds this group together."

THE GYM

"Bye, Seongje.." Ughh.. This? So tiresome..

Vivi looked back at her trainees with a smile. "Sorry guys, I got to run. Friends, you know.." as she left.

SEOHYUN'S HOUSE

Seongje looked at Seohyun. "Well, she'll be coming soon enough.. So before she arrives, let me ask you one thing."

"What, Seongje?"

"Why did you make Xiaoling your brother?"

"What?"
