Chapter 7

Haneul

"Haneul-ah... he's a ghost." A voice whispered into my ear.

It sent shivers down my spine as I tried to look for the owner of the voice but all I see is blinding white light.

"Don't try to meddle with him... get away from him as early as now..." It repeated.

"Who?! WHO?!!!" I yelled so hard using up all my energy.

Suddenly, the scene around me changed into a dark forest. I looked around me and what startled me the most was the sight of Wonho's bloody face right behind me all along.

"I am."

The next thing I knew, my vision blurred as Wonho stared at me passing out.

I opened my eyes as and looked at the clock.

"3 am..." I read.

"Wonho-ya..." I whined.

I closed my eyes trying to gain my consciousness but as soon as I opened it slowly, Wonho's figure greeted me.

He was kneeling right beside me, gazing at my confused face.

"I don't understand." I spoke.

He didn't say a word.

I looked around me and found a glass of water at my table. I immediately poured it on me, drenching myself in water.

I then looked at Wonho and he eyed every drop of water going down from my head. I suddenly felt awake.

"You already know but you're denying the things you suspect of me. If ever you go back to sleep after this, just remember that you'll meet me later. You will make a decision that night." He spoke.

"What are you?" I asked.

"What was I in your dreams?" He answered back with a question.

He slowly moved and sat infront of me in my bed.

I still thought that I was dreaming so I uncontrollably acted by my instincts and wrapped my arms around his neck.

Wonho

I know she's near the answer. I can't believe someone will actually know who I am. But it's Haneul, and I don't wanna lie to her.

She suddenly wrapped her arms around me.

"Mm..? Your hair color changed huh?" She caressed my black hair.

"What are you doing?" I said.

"Shhh... I'm dreaming and I have to make the best out of it." She told me.

She's really still unconscious that my presence is real..

"Do you think you're in a dream inside a dream?" I asked, then cupping her face with my hands.

She nods.

I gave her a smile, and subconsciously I gave in and brought my face to hers. I closed the gap between us and kissed her lips under the moonlight shining on us from her windows.

We remained still, our lips on each other's until I made the first move and kissed her harder which I got a response from when she kissed me back. I pulled apart and gazed at her face up-close.

"Sleep well." I bid her goodbye.

Haneul

The whole time in class, concentration was alot more harder today. I felt a thousand times more bothered than I was. I even saw Taehyung, the guy I like, noticing me across the cafeteria and giving me a wink, but for some reason, I just didn't buy it today. 

I walked out of school after I wrapped up the late afternoon doing all my assignments in the library. It was nearing 7pm, maybe I'd call it evening already, but I was cornered by Taehyung and his group of friends. 

"Hey, where you going!" Taehyung suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me to him.

"What the-- Yah! Were you guys drinking?" I smelled the alcohol stink from his mouth.

"You know, I winked at you today but you dare reject it? You suck at flirting." He pointed at me.

"Leave me alone. I'm not in the mood to deal with you." I tried to break away.

"Shush.. stop moving and calm down. Join us for a bit." He put a finger on my lips signalling me to keep quiet. 

I tried to wiggle away from his grip but he called for his group who were behind him. They circled around me and grabbed me on both arms as they led me into a dark alley beside school.

"Hyung, what's that?" Sanha stopped on his tracks, startled.

We all stopped and from behind Sanha, we moved our heads to check what was happening. Right infront of us, we noticed a dark shadow with the figure of a man. He was just standing there, facing us and the end of the alley. 

"Hey bro! Move away if you don't wanna get hurt!"  Taehyung threatened out of impatience. 

However, the figure didn't budge.  It remained still. 

"Do you want me to... move?" A familiar voice came out from the dark figure.

"Obviously! Yah!  Do it quick or you'll get it from us." Seungjun warned.

"Oh, and don't tell any authorities, hyung! Just try not to interfere with our business." Sanha reminded the man.

"Help m--" I tried to shout to him but Taehyung put his hand over my mouth to silence me.

"Okay. I'll move." The voice growled.

As soon as the man started walking, we all saw his face as the light shone upon him. 

"Huh!" Sanha flinched, as well as Seungjun who was usually manly and brave.

"Mwo?!" Taehyung looked at his friends and soon realized what they saw when he turned his head up.

I stiffened in my place, I wasn't able to move. The man's face was pale with a hint of green or blue. He looked dead. On his forehead, blood was dripping down. His veins were noticeable and his eyes were scary. It was as if he came out from the morgue. 

Taehyung and the boys ran away out of fear, leaving me behind. They shouted sorry and one by one left me alone. 

"Don't hurt me please." I spoke but my voice was almost inaudible. I couldn't find the courage to speak. 

The man changed his expression, his face softened as soon as the boys left. 

"It's me, Cheonsa-ya.." he sighed.

My eyes grew wider upon realization. Suddenly, his color went back to normal, his veins disappeared, his eyes turned black in his iris, and the blood faded. 

"What's this?" I asked, totally confused.

The dream and what Kihyun told me.. were they all referring to this? 

"Everything you saw was real. Now you know." He turned his back preparing to leave but I couldn't just let him go.

"Wait!" I called for him but I didn't know what to say.

He turned to look at me and faced his body sidewards, waiting for the words that would come out of my mouth.

"Are you dead?" I asked.

"What do you think? I've been dead all along. You've been interacting with someone dead Haneul-ah. And you never knew.." His words hit me like a truck. They were unbelievable that I felt like I still wasn't conscious enough.

"You know I like you right?" I confessed.

His eyes showed a glimpse of surprise upon knowing my true feelings.

"You what?" He wanted me to repeat.

"I like you so much Shin Wonho." I said.

I paused but he continued listening to me. 

"How am I gonna have you as mine now?" I asked desperately.

"You can't date me in this state. You can't date me like this, it's never gonna happen that easily. People won't see us the way we would want to. We can never normally go out." He shook his head.

"Don't you like me...?" I asked.

"Haneul-ah, all those motives I showed you, this attachment I had towards you. I.. like you so much that I grew fond of you. I don't want to lose you as well." He inched closer to me.

"You know someone who could help us?" I asked him.

I was eager to give both Wonho and I a chance to happen, but I knew I would be crossing life and afterlife's boundaries. Nonetheless, I didn't care.

"The only way is to have someone's figure. You wouldn't mind right, Haneul-ah?" He asked me.

"You know someone?" I asked curiously.

"My old pal. Chae Hyungwon."

And with hearing that name, my heart grew heavier. Everything that was happening all pointed towards Hyungwon and I. Hyungwon.. he's gonna be used? The Hyungwon he knew, was it the Hyungwon I knew, too?

"What? You know him?" Wonho looked at me and the expression I gave him.

"No. Not at all. He's perfect. Get him to do us this favor Wonho-ssi." I smiled and brushed everything off. 

After all of this, my hatred and my incapability to forgive and let go of Hyungwon still brought me to be this cruel towards him. I have to see him again.
