"Sunggyu, lets go," someone said making him realize that they are not the only people in that area. Those people started going away thinking they are already heading to their next stop. He was left alone with the ghost under the tree.

'But I want to hug her more!' he thought. I was weird that their embrace felt so comfortable and strangely familiar, like he have already felt it before. He slowly broke away from the hug. Looking at the ghost's face, he held both of her shoulders. He stared at her tired and pale face. And on her cheeks were her tears that sparked the light of the moon. Tears?

"Hey, are you crying?" he asked her.

Shaking her head, she looked down at her feet trying to hide her face.

Sunggyu tilted his head to see more of her face but she looked away. His heart sank and felt sorry for the ghost. He might have made her tired.

He pulled her to his chest and held her again in his arms.

"I'm sorry," he said and gave the ghost a kiss on top of her hair.

"Sunggyu! I thought you were following us! Let's go!" someone interrupted.

Pulling away from the hug, he shouted, "Yeah! I'm coming." Then walked away. But before completely leaving, he went back to the lady ghost and whispered, "I'll see you later here, after the shoot. Wait for me." Then he gave her a quick kiss in the cheek. He sprinted off leaving her shocked. Slowly, the lady ghost smiled as she touched her cheeks and waved him a silent goodbye.

The sun was already peering in the mountains breaking the darkness when the game and the shoot concluded. Sunggyu was announced as the winner and the courage king. Finally! After being always placed at the bottom and being called as Loser Gyu, he won! He dissed Woohyun for being the last.

He felt so alive and animated despite pulling an all-nighter and all the hardship he's been through. He looked at his dongsaengs and they all looked like zombies as they slowly walked around and packed their things.

While everyone was wrapping up and preparing to go home, Sunggyu sneak off and went to the tree where he left the ghost. But to his disappointment, she was not there. Sluggishly, he sat in the protruding root of the tree and placed his hands in his head. Where is she? He was really expecting he could have some time with her. He let out a sigh as he leaned his head in the tree closing his eyes.

"Hi." Startled, he looked to his right where he heard the person.

"Whoah! You came!" Sunggyu exclaimed.

The ghost just meekly nodded.

"Thank goodness! So why didn't you removed your make up yet?" he asked as he pull some strings of hair falling in her face. Through the lime light of the morning dawn, he can see her pale face. She just shrugged.

"And why aren't you speaking so much? The game is done already. You don't have to play ghost anymore," he added with a chuckle.

"You know what, I won! Would you believe that! I even won against Sungyeol in a foot race." Proud of himself, Sunggyu started detailing out how he won.

"Congratulations!" she said.

"Whoah! That's the second word you ever said to me. The first one was 'hi'." He smiled, his eyes almost closed. She returned a smile.

"And it's all thanks to you. And I'm really sorry I made you tired."

"No way!" she answered spiritedly. "I think I even dragged you down. I'm so sorry."

"No, you didn't drag me down. Yeah, it was tiring but, it's one of the best tiring moment of my life I am thankful of...," he said seriously. She looked at his eyes and they were showing so much intensity. "...because I met you." Their eyes locked and in that moment, their eyes told stories only they can comprehend.

Later, they heard footsteps and L's voice calling out for Sunggyu.

"Sunggyu hyung, where are you? Hyung, we have to go now," L called out.

"I want to talk to you more but, they are calling me already," Sunggyu said frowning. The ghost just smiled.

"It was really nice to meet you."

"Me too."

"Ahm, can I have your number?" Sunggyu said shyly.

"Sorry, but I can't."

"Why? How about your name? Can I atleast have your name?" he said almost pleading.

"Sunggyu, listen, I can't..."

"W-why?" Sunggyu looked so weary.

"...cause I'm a ghost. A real ghost..."

Shocked with her revelation, his face went white and got goose bumps all over his body.

"Y-you're k-kidding right?" Sunggyu said stuttering.

Slowly, she leaned over to Sunggyu and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. And then, she said "Goodbye."

And right before Sunggyu's eyes, a thick smoke covered her then she disappeared.

Sunggyu was left there... petrified...

"Hyung! Found you! We've been looking for you everywhere! Ha! I'm so tired. Come on let's go," L said.

Still, Sunggyu wasn't moving.

"Yah! Hyung!" L waved his hands infront of Sunggyu's face.

And right there Sunggyu fainted.
