He's Special To Me

Chapter 4

*************

A minute or two later, the pain suddenly disappeared, almost like he never experienced it in the first place. But of course, to him, it felt like hours of torment.

At the moment, he lay on the couch he sat on earlier, his right hand on his forehead with his eyes closed, thinking about what he just experienced.

While Sung-Yoon, she was back on the dirty floor, seated while staring at Hae Jin with a worried look on her face.

Hae Jin had said he was alright now but she still couldn't stop worrying about him considering what she witnessed earlier.

A ghost experiencing such pain. A natural thing for humans. This was the first time Sung-Yoon witnessed a ghost in that kind of pain and did not know if it was a common thing (For ghosts) or not.

She couldn't help but worry. Was what he just experienced a bad omen? A serious thing? Will it happen again? Seriously, she had so many questions and also knew none of them had the answer.

"Are you sure you're okay?"she asked for the third and once again, Hae Jin gave the same answer, "I'm fine" but she was unconvinced. Didn't believe him, not even the slightest.

"Are you sure? You were in so much pain right? Holding your head....." She said but her words were cut short,

"Yeah, I was. I've never experienced anything like this before as a ghost"

"What was that all about? A heart attack? Was it a heart attack?" Hae Jin slid down his hand on his forehead and turned his head to face her, looking like he just heard the dumbest thing on earth.

Yeah, it was. And it seemed she realized too cause she gave an awkward laugh, run her hand through her hair and said, "Sorry, I'm just worried and not in my right state of mind"

Well, he understood.

"This is the first time for me too. I have never experienced something like this" he said and silence took over once again. Each lost in their thoughts. But then, on Hae Jin's side, he wasn't only thinking about what he experienced but also about what he thought was 'memories', his memories that flooded in mind while he was experiencing that headache.

It (The memories) was a lot to handle and no matter how hard he tried fixing the memories together, it just wasn't working.

And now, they were slowly fading away.

*Sigh, he was so tired of this. Maybe he should give up now. Later, surely, they will come back to him.

"You know, I think you and Chae Joon have something in common" Sung-Yoon spoke, snapping Hae Jin out of his thoughts and he looked at her, asking, "And what's that?"

"Both of you are foulmouthed and negative souls to have around"

Seriously? That's it?

Annoyed, Hae Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, you realize that now?"

"Yes"

"Good for you" Hae Jin said with a strained smile on his face. Gosh, Sung-Yoon was so irritating!

"And that's not all. I found something a little weird while I was staying at the cemetery with him. Chae Joon's grave wasn't there but he still stayed. Also, I think Chae Joon was trapped in there"

"What?!" Hae Jin exclaimed in shock, sitting up on the couch. Chae Joon. They share the same situation? He was also trapped just like him?!

Sung-Yoon had no idea how happy he was to hear this information! However, he didn't dare show it on his face. What would she think of him if she was to see him happy about someone else's misery?

Sure their situation was nothing to brag about but he was still happy to hear this.

If what Sung-Yoon said was true, then he had to meet this Chae Joon. Maybe together, they will be able to do something about their situation.

And he totally forgot he was no longer in the same situation as him. That's if Chae Joon really was before.

"Why didn't you tell me this soon!"

"Yeah, well, I'm still not sure. Because, not once did I see him trying to get out of the cemetery and fail. Maybe I'm overthinking" Sung-Yoon said the last sentence through laughter but Hae Jin did not find it funny. He was pissed off.

First she said Chae Joon's situation was just like his and now, she was saying she might have misunderstood? What the.... Was she trying to pick a fight with him!!

........ Okay, he couldn't really put all the blame on her. He should have known when she said before that Chae Joon left after he found his special one. How was he able to escape his prison (That's if Chae Joon even had one in the first) when he couldn't no matter how much he tried!!

And anyway, a ghost can stay wherever he or she wants. As long as they weren't trapped anywhere like he was.

So stupid of him! He didn't think things through!!

"Then, he left with his special one" Hae Jin looked up at Sung-Yoon.

Even so, he was pissed off!

"After I heard from one of the depressed ghosts that he left, I tried to find him to yell at him, insult him for leaving me without saying goodbye. But I never did" Damn Sung-Yoon! Now he couldn't even get angry at her anymore!

Not with the sad state she was in.

'HAHAHAHA!!!' Hae Jin yelled frustratingly in mind.

"Before I could find him, I ran into those evil ghosts. I screamed, yelled for help but no one came to my aid. When I found this house, I was hesitant to enter because...... You know, being a ghost or human, you can't just enter someone's territory without permission"

Well, she wasn't exactly wrong. But he still didn't know much about ghosts even though he was one himself.

"But I'm glad I did anyway" Sung-Yoon looked up at Hae Jin with a smile, meeting the same smile on Hae Jin's face.

"I'm glad as well," he said. And they stared at each other, smiling.

"But you......" Hae Jin said but before he could complete his sentence, a calm confused and questioning voice sounded out.

"Mister, who are you talking to?"

In disbelieving shock, both froze in place, eyes widened. That sounded like a kid. When did this kid come in? How come they didn't notice? Maybe it was because they were too engrossed in their conversation.

"Mister" the kid called out again and they turned to the direction of the source, only to see the kid, standing a few steps away from them, staring at Hae Jin with a questioning look.

'A kid' Hae Jin said in mind. It was a kid. And..... Did he just talk to him?!!

"Mister" the kid called out again and Hae Jin rose up from his seat, staring at the kid in disbelieving shock.

A human kid just talked to him?!

..............He was human, right?
