The Soul Exchange

“Hyeon Chul! Don't daydream!”

*

The evening signifies the humans to stop working and have to go home to meet his family, as well as this towering building.

The workers there one by one out of the company he occupied for almost half a day.

“Hhh, the report is done.” murmured Dennis sighed happily finally the report he had to show his boss tomorrow was done, and that meant he had to go home and rest.

“Mr Den, I said go home first.” said to Secretary Kim after knocking and opening Dennis' glass door.

“Heum, I'm also done.” said Dennis moved out of his chair by taking his suit and bag and then went to approach Kim Jong Woon his new secretary in Korea.

“I don't think today's work is too much, don't you think Mr Hyuk Jae?” dennis asked break the silence of this dilift.

“Ah, yes. But it makes me think hard.” replied secretary Kim a little indifferent to the words Dennis earlier.

Dennis smiled wryly, this was the first time he had said casually to this quiet and reclusive secretary Kim.

“Em, how is your family? Are they okay?” hyuk Jae's question made Dennis surprised and asked Hyuk Jae's sudden words.

But it was very disappointing because shortly after that the clinking elevator signifies the purpose of Dennis and Hyuk Jae has arrived, even Dennis had just opened his lips but was closed again when secretary Lee gave his smrik smile and just left.

“What the hell is he?” murmured Dennis stared at Hyuk Jae's departure.

Dennis had reached the basement but after he and his car were 10 meters away, the silver car made a sound and the car lights were on. It looked like someone had infiltrated the car.

Dennis's pace was getting faster until he was seen running, but after he opened his car there was no one there, even the car returned to calm as before.

Dennis's view he extended to all corners of this basement. A lookout face mixed with worry was seen on the face of Dennis who had sweat cold on his forehead.

But without a second thought he entered his car, leaving someone with a black formal shirt behind him. Just where Dennis was standing, there was a man who was holding his dagger tightly until the hand shook.

“Honey! Dad's home!” dennis shouted after opening the door of the house.

His eyes continued to look for the whereabouts of his son who had gone nowhere.

Mira's body comes out of the kitchen to see Dennis who is also staring at her.

“Eoh? Jennie was playing in the room.” muttered Mira flicked her hair behind her ears.

With a stiff movement, Dennis confirmed the location of the previous establishment slightly tilted.

“Oh, really? Is he sleeping?” dennis asked slowly looking at Mira Sayu.

“Okay, maybe not.” replied Mira lirih linking her two pairs of fingers in front.

Dennis really hated this kind of atmosphere, there should be Jennie to melt this tense atmosphere.

“Em, aren't you hungry? I've made food.” said Mira looking back at Dennis.

Dennis smiled thinly and nodded and went one step closer to Mira who kept staring right in Dennis' eyes.

“Jennie! It's dinner time! Down baby!” call Dennis looking down at Mira who is shorter than him.

Dennis turned to look at Jennie's open door and displayed the little body of the girl.

“Wah, dad's home!” jennie shouted**** her sweet smile made her parents smile.

“What did Dad bring for me?” jennie asked when she saw the paper bag in Dennis's hand.

Dennis immediately realized then he tore the paper bag up and thrust it on Jennie.

“But Jennie has to eat first, then can open the gift.” said Dennis demanded Jennie who pulled out her upset face in the dining room.

“Ah! The story is boring, I just sleep.” muttered Jennie moved from the sofa that was also used by her parents.

“You want to sleep? Don't forget to go to the bathroom! ” pinta Mira looks at Jennie who will go further leaving them both.

“Euh, wouldn't it be better?” lirih Dennis opened his voice by continuing to stare at the drama screen.

“What?” mira asked slowly, looking at Dennis.

Dennis smiled slanted and his hands leaning over the back of the sofa moved to draw Mira closer to his body.

The smile that Mira was holding on to appeared when Dennis managed to bring her closer to her husband.

“I'm glad you're back.” murmured Mira lowered her head with her shy smile.

But slowly Mira's loose smile disappeared and her face turned serious mixed with worry.

“Actually I don't want to bring it up anymore, but I'm really curious about this.” said Mira still doesn't want to stare at Dennis who is now staring at her confusedly.

“Why back then, I was you-yes, strangling me?” asked Mira with all her nervousness.

“Screenging you?” dennis said parrotingly, his face looked very confused.

“When?”

Now it was not only Dennis who looked at him but Mirapun also looked at him confused. Now they look at each other with a cringing face.

Dennis got up from his seat and looked at Mira annoyed.

“I never felt like I was strangling you. You know I've never been rude to you!” said Dennis rising, he seemed not to accept if he ever hurt Mira.

Mira felt her words were fishing back a fight. He really wanted to bring back a time where everything was good.

“Ah, no! Seems not to be, I might just fantasize.” Mira said trying to calm Dennis who was still staring at him sharply and full of questions.

Mira tries to hold onto Dennis's shoulders to get the man back on the couch but Dennis brushes Mira's hand away.

“No, I just sleep, tired.” murmured Dennis went to leave Mira who had let out his disappointment.

He clenched both hands and his tears had slid past his cheeks and fell on the floor of the wood.

This smoke out of nowhere blocked Dennis's view. He only saw black and white which was monotonous.

“Someone! Help me!” zacky felt trapped in this place.

“**Searching for something?”

A voice from behind shocked Dennis to make the man turn around with an irregular breath***.

“**Jong Woon!” peek Dennis approached Jong Woon who was looking down at him and his lips formed a grin.

“Ka-then take me away from this place.” Pinta Dennis occasionally stares at this place.

“Heum? Only I will get out of here, but you have to stay in this place with your other family.” Hyuk Jae replied turning to waltz away from Dennis who was chasing him.

Dennis felt that his two legs could not cooperate with his thinking. His legs were so slow to walk that Dennis had to fall down and lay down because he forced them too much.

“Come! Move, stupid.” cried Dennis hit both his legs until someone else approached him.

He's a man with a bloodied head that fills his forehead, a gunshot on his bald head. The man approached Dennis stumbling.

“Do not! Don't come near me!” dennis shouted using his hands to cover his face, as if the bald man's hands grabbed Dennis's face***.

Dennis' eyes were wide open and his breathing was as irregular as he had dreamed but this time it was worse than the dream, his cold sweat was even able to wet his white T-shirt especially on the chest and back.
