Chapter Twenty Three: Time Continues Forward

"I like you too."

You looked up, bewildered by what you had just heard coming out of the ghost's mouth. "You what?"

"I love you too." He rephrased, a soft smile still remained on his face whilst his eyes never broke contact with yours. "You have no idea how much I was to kiss you right now." He chuckled nervously as you still sat, eyes widened and boring holes into his transparent body.

"You joking right?" You couldn't believe what the ghost was saying to you right now, how could you?

You just admitted your feelings for a GHOST and it turns out that SAME GHOST had feelings for you back? If you told someone about this situation they would immediately think your come crazy lunatic.

"No (y/n), I'm not." He shook his head in a disapproving manner before chuckling lightly to himself. "I'm in love with (l/n) (y/n)." He spoke confidently.

"Ahhh why must life be so cruel." You complained, the previous tears now long gone and forgotten. "I fall in love with someone I can't touch, do you know how much I wanna touch you right now?" You complained only to realise what you have just admitted out loud. "HANG ON THAT CAME OUT WRONG, I DIDNT MEAN THAT." You blushed, quickly waving your hands up in the air in a dismissing manner.

"Oh trust me, sweet heart, if you could. I would let you touch me all day." He winked causing you to turn a deeper shade of red.

"YAH YOU NASTY!" You exclaimed after covering your face with embarrassment.

"It's only nasty if you allow your brain to think of it like that. For all you know I could be talking about hugging and kissing you." He smirked as he caught you thinking of dirty thoughts.

"Jungkook be serious for one second and stop joking around. This is a serious matter." You shot him a glare as your fingers opened up slightly for you to peep through.

"I am serious, I wanna hug and kiss you so bad right now." He quickly retorted causing you to scoff in disbelief, he already forgot.

"Not that you idiot but about the things I told you before."

"Oh." His smile suddenly wavered and his facial expression turned serious once again. "Whatever happens tomorrow happens, if I leave tomorrow that's something we deal with in the future. Just live in the moment right now, yeah?" You nodded reluctantly at him before frowning. "Besides, if my spirit does move on to a new body I will find my way back to you." He tried to lighten up the atmosphere a bit by cracking a joke.

Not wanting to dwell on the future or think about tomorrow anymore you played along, you wanted to see his smile for the last time if that was the case. "Since when did you get so cheesy?" You smirked.

"Since I met you." He winked caused you to sigh with disappointment.

"You're really asking for it aren't you?" You inquired before waving your hands in the air.

"What you gonna do? You can't touch me remember?" He cockily reminded causing you to burst out into laughter.

"Oh no?" You stood up and began poking him which caused him to chuckles.

"Hey stop!" He shrieked as he tried floating out of your constant poking. "That tickles." He exclaimed.

"Payback for you cheesiness."

"I'm only cheesy with you." He tried to send you a cute pouty face but failed as he erupted back into fits of laughter.

"Now arriving at Seoul Station." You smile quickly fell as people one by one exited the train carriage, this was your stop.

"Aww don't frown, we can say goodbye to each other tonight." He smiled slightly causing you to slowly nod in reply, stepping off the carriage and watching the train doors close upon themselves before the train disappeared down the track.

You had completely forgotten about riding the train back home. You were so focused on tomorrow you forgot we had to go to work. You mentally slapped yourself for forgetting. While you were glad you had one more time before you initiated plan c you were also sad. Besides Jungkook's efforts to make you make you smile and not worry about him leaving you still were going to miss him.

You couldn't believe it had been so many months since you met the ghost and you had developed feelings for him.

You let out a deep breath before bracing yourself to step outside into the cold autumn air. You needed to start bringing a warmer coat to wear on top of your knitted sweaters. Time has passed by so fast and it hardly felt like any time passed at all.

.

Your time at work was sluggish, trying to debate whether or not you wanted time to fly past faster so you could see him again or you wanted time to go slower so his time here was longer.

"Come on (y/n), hurry up and finished your workload so I can see you again. I miss you." You hear someone say, a voice you swear sounded like Jungkook. This caused your gaze to falter from the desktop screen over to the corner you hear the voice from, eyes meeting a figure that looked exactly like Jungkook.

Hang on, that didn't make sense.

You frowned and rubbed your eyes, looking back up to find his figure was no longer there anymore.

I must be going crazy.

You internally sighed before getting back to work, the clock seems to tick by slower and slower by the minute.

"Ms (l/n) are you okay?" Mrs Kim inquired after walking into the room, holding three cups of coffee.

"Oh yeah, just tired." You shook your head lightly and shot a smile at the assistant.

"I don't think so, what's wrong, my dear?" She took a seat down in front of you at your desk before handing you a cup of warm coffee. You gladly accepted, taking a sip and feeling the liquid warm your somewhat cold body. The heaters where on the highest level but it never seemed to warm you up today.

You contemplated on whether to ask Mrs Kim for help, she was a fairly beautiful woman and rumours spread of her past boyfriends, maybe she can help you.

"Well, there is this guy." You slowly said before the older woman's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Oohhh is our junior prosecutor finally blossoming into a senior?" She teased causing you to smile widely.

"He is going to leave and he's never going to come back." You sent a pained smile to Mrs Kim, it was her turn to smile.

"Silly, there is something called long distance relationship." This only caused you to shake your head.

"Let's just say he won't have any way of contacting me, tonight is the last time I'm going to see him." She wasn't smiling anymore. You could feel the pity she felt for you just by looking at her eyes, they no longer sparkled with excitement.

"Well, darling there is nothing you can really do then, all you can do is make this last night with him the best as it can possibly be. Make the most memories you can in the short time you two have left." She lifted her arm so that it could rest on your should in a comforting manner. It kinda reminded you of one of the first time you met Jungkook.

He was explaining his point of view to you and cried, you naturally tried to hold his shoulder in a reassuring manner but you couldn't.

You really were gonna miss him.

"Your strong (y/n), taking after your dad you are persistent and selfless. The guy is lucky to have you." She then proceeds to envelop you in a hug. You haven't hugged someone in what seemed like years you didn't know why but it felt like something you were longing for. Someone to comfort you not saying others haven't comforted you, you where glad they as tried so hard as they did but something as little as a hug can really put you at ease. You longed for a hug from Jungkook.
