Hae Jin: They're gone.

Hae Jin: I saved her.

Author: I see, you killed her.

Hae Jin: I'm out.

Author: Hold on! I wanted to ask......... What happened to the boss and the man's soul? I'm talking about Kim Soo and Kim Boom's case.

Hae Jin: *Sigh,.........Kim Boom consumed their souls.

Author: I see. So they were one of the many souls that came out of Kim Boom? They were also the first souls he consumed.

Hae Jin: Exactly.

Author: Thanks. Chapter 34 begins now.

Hae Jin: Who cares?

Author: I do.

             *********👻👻*******

After setting both Kim Hee Soo and Park Soli free, the six were now on their way home.

Hae Jin, Tae Jin, Se Jong and Chae Joon met Sung Yoon and Mr Kim outside the classroom and then they made their way out.

Hae Jin and Se Jong took the lead. Both were not talking.

In fact, they were busy thinking about what they just experienced. What they just found out.

Sung Yoon, Tae Jin, Chae Joon and Mr Kim followed behind them.

Two looking worried, anxious about what's to come next while the other two, Sung Yoon and Mr Kim, were confused.

They still didn't know what happened while they were away.

"What happened to you guys?" Sung Yoon asked. This was the sixth time or so.

Hope she'll get an answer this time.

"Where were you?" Chae Joon asked.

"Well I was looking around with him" Sung Yoon said, a finger pointed at Mr Kim who walked beside her.

"Suddenly, I blacked out"

"Me too. We fell asleep" Mr Kim said.

"I don't know what happened afterwards. Some time later, we woke up and we rushed to you guys" Sung Yoon said

Park Soli or Hee Soo must have done that. Chae Joon thought.

"What happened to you four?" Sung Yoon asked again.

"We met a ghost who knew hyung. She wore our school uniform but it was a little different but the school badge was prove enough. Also, there was another ghost, she.......she also wore our school uniform and it was the same............I believe Hee Soo used to attend our school. Soli too" Tae Jin said.

"Hee Soo?" Sung Yoon asked, a questioning look on her face.

"That's the girl who knew hyung. She was a grade 3 evil ghost and Soli was her friend. She was a grade 2 evil ghost. Hyung set them free" Tae Jin said.

And after killing Soli, Hae Jin got the second reward, 'The ability to show himself to humans who can't see or hear him and also, appear as human'

Soli was a grade 2 evil ghost and so, Hae Jin didn't get any reward after ending her.

He got the reward for ending Hee Soo who was a grade 3 evil ghost.

But then,......Hae Jin didn't get his reward right after setting Hee Soo free because he still had another mission.

Sending Soli to the other side.

You get your reward after the battle is over and you've succeeded in sending the evil ghosts to the other side.

Once again, Hae Jin didn't suffer to get the reward.

He really......was something else.

Chae Joon thought, smiling.

"So, you guys didn't fight?" Sung Yoon asked and Tae Jin replied,

"Exactly. Hyung have the second reward now"

"Wow! That.......but he doesn't look happy at all" Sung Yoon said and they stared at Hae Jin, only seeing his back profile.

He really didn't look happy at all.

"So, this.....Hee Soo, she knew Hae Jin. Did she say something about them? Like, their memories together or something" Mr Kim asked, gaining their attentions.

"Yes" Tae Jin replied, looking at Sung Yoon, he said,

"Yes, you were right. Hyung used to attend my school"

What Hee Soo and Soli said was enough to prove this.

"And I believe he lived nearby as well. You know, the memory he saw and learnt about the pizza place nearby"

"True" Sung Yoon said.

Then,........Hae Jin really did live nearby. She was right.

Come to think of it,......they were very close to finding out about him.

Was it a good thing?

Oh, screw this! Who cared?!

"Should I look into the pizza place? My brother can help" Sung Yoon said.

Sooner or later, they'll still find out the truth.

But then.......Hae Jin didn't want to. He didn't want to cross over.

And he was save from becoming an evil ghost because he still hasn't found out his past life.

Maybe..........yes, she'll find out everything, but will keep it to herself.

"But we need a picture of Hae Jin" Sung Yoon said and Mr Kim asked,

"Who can draw here?" Though he didn't know the whole story, he still wanted to participate.

"I can" Chae Joon answered.

"Okay, then, Chae Joon will draw a picture of Hae Jin. I and my brother will look for the owner of the restaurant and we'll show him or her the picture" Sung Yoon said.

"Well, I'll continue to look for the woman. We still have to talk about us"

"I don't think there was 'Us'" Sung Yoon said, annoyed, Mr Kim yelled at her,

"Shut up"

"Also........Tae Jin, I want you to look into your house. The history of the house" Sung Yoon said and Tae Jin looked at her.

The history of the house?

Why?

Why?

He asked himself?

Tae Jin already had an idea.

                    ************👻👻********

Time (10pm getting to 11pm)

Getting home, Chae Joon, Se Jong, Tae Jin and Hae Jin met Shin Hye and Jay at the entrance gate.

Jay was seeing her off.

Sung Yoon and Mr Kim already went back to their homes and they, have arrived in theirs.

"Shin Hye" Tae Jin called out her and she turned to face him, Se Jong, Chae Joon and Hae Jin.

But then, Shin Hye couldn't see Chae Joon and Hae Jin.

She could only see Se Jong and Tae Jin.

"Can we talk?" She said, smiling awkwardly.

"Sure" Tae Jin immediately agreed. 

She wanted to talk.

Why not?

Maybe they can fix everything now.

"I'll go in" Se Jong said, giving Tae Jin a smile and he (Tae Jin) smiled back.

Se Jong then left with Chae Joon and Hae Jin, none of them looking back.

They were all in a terrible mood. Had a lot on their minds and didn't have time to worry about Tae Jin and Shin Hye and the conversation they'll be having.

They showed no concern.

"See you later Shin Hye" Jay said with a smile and she smiled back, saying

"Okay"

Smiling at Tae Jin, 'It will be alright' clearly stated on his face, Tae Jin smiled back, getting the message, afterwards, Jay left for his house.

Shin Hye and Tae Jin had to talk.

"How...... how......." Tae Jin began but just couldn't bring out the words.

He felt so pathetic!

"How am I?" Shin Hye asked the exact question he wanted to.

Smiling, she answered, "Am fine. You?"

"Fine" Tae Jin answered and then, silence blew.

Gosh! It was too quiet and awkward!

What should he do?

He asked himself but then, he didn't have to do anything.

Shin Hye took the first step.

"Listen Tae Jin, I'm sorry for calling you a freak last night. I don't know what came over me *Sigh,....... I'm sorry" Shin Hye apologized, surprising Tae Jin.

"You're not angry with me anymore?" He asked and she looked up at him, a smile on her face.

"No" she said.

"But........."

"It must have been hard on you Tae Jin. I'm your friend and my parents did a lot for you. You felt indebted to them. And you didn't want to hurt me or disappoint them. That's why you agreed to go out with me"

True, Tae Jin thought.

"I'm sorry. I thought I'll fall in love with you as time goes on, but I didn't,.......and I don't think I will"

Okay, for some reason this hit her hard.

Was she that ugly?!

"I didn't do well as your boyfriend. We didn't even go on dates when we came back. I.....I distanced myself from you. I only thought about myself" Tae Jin said, head lowered down, feeling ashamed.

"Then, let me say this. Let's break up Tae Jin" Shin Hye said, smiling and he looked up at her, surprised.

"Oh,.....okay"

"From now onwards, we're just friends. Good friends. Now, can you tell me?"

Tell her what?

"Why were you depressed when we first got to the states? It wasn't just because you left your mom and friends behind, right?"

Oh, that.......he....

"I....."

"You can tell me now. I know about you already" Shin Hye said, smiling.

Right, she knew.

Then...... he'll tell her everything.

"I'll start from the beginning"

"Okay" Shin Hye replied, smiling at him.

               **********👻👻********

Now seated on the stairs to the front door, both were quiet.

Shin Hye was taking in what she just learnt while Tae Jin, he was waiting for her.

Well, it didn't take that long.

A few seconds later, Shin Hye spoke

"So, when we first got to the states, you were depressed because you left your hyung. And you were in a place where no one understood you. Your parents who can see ghosts as well weren't with you" Shin Hye said.

Wow! It wasn't only about his mom and friends.

It was about this Hae Jin as well.

"Yes. And when I met Clara. I got better. Though she couldn't see ghosts, she was interested in them. She once saw me talking to them and she...........she took interest in me. That was when we were in elementary. When we first enrolled.......... She didn't tell anyone but won't leave me alone" Tae Jin said, smiling.

"Let me guys, on your birthdays, you were sad because your hyung wasn't with you right?" Shin Hye asked.

She always wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Yes. I really missed him on my birthdays. I was reminded of the day we planned on celebrating my birthday but never did"

On his birthdays, his hyung was all he could think about.

His smile, laughter, his cuteness, the time they spent together.

He.......he was all he could think about.

"You really care about him, don't you?" Shin Hye asked, smiling.

Tae Jin looked at her, a smile on his face as he answered,

"I do".

"Guess that's why you can never fell in love with a beautiful girl like me"

"What do you mean?" Tae Jin asked, confused.

But then, he didn't get an answer.

The front door opening, Hyun Seo stepped out, calling out to them,

"Hey, Idiots, Come in already" Hyun Seo said from behind them.

Turning to face him, a playful frown played on their faces.

"Idiots?" Shin Hye asked.

"It hurts hearing the definition of idiot call us one" Tae Jin said and he and Shin Hye smiled.

"What?" Hyun Seo asked, angry but they pay him no attention.

"Let's just go in" Tae Jin said and he and Shin Hye got up before making their way to the house.

Leaving an angry Hyun Seo behind.

Why did they always make fun of him?

Why was he always the stupid one?

Author: Don't worry Hyun Seo, that's your character.

Hyun Seo: Doesn't make me feel better and I don't want it!

Author: Okay.

Hyun Seo: Change it.

Author: In your next life.

Hyun Seo:..........I don't like you.

Author: I never wanted you to.

Hyun Seo: You're annoying!

Author: That's not news.

Hyun Seo: Ahhh!! I can't win against you.

Author: As long as you know.

Hyun Seo: I'm leaving.

Author: Goodbye.

Hyun Seo: Ahhh!!!!! How annoying!!

              ***********👻👻*********

In the living room, Tae Jin sat on the single couch.

Se Jong and Chae Joon on the double couch while Hyun Seo and Shin Hye occupied the triple couch.

Both Shin Hye and Hyun Seo couldn't see Chae Joon but then,......Shin Hye decided to sit beside Hyun Seo because they thought it would be better this way.

Hae Jin would have seat.

However,........Shin Hye had no idea, there was two ghosts in the house and the one she didn't know about had the seat she offered to the one she knew about.

Hae Jin wasn't here.

In fact, the moment Shin Hye and Tae Jin came in, he left the house.

Not wanting to be in the same room with Tae Jin, he stepped out.

This made Tae Jin feel even more depressed.

Thinking, will he ever forgive him.

Tae Jin didn't like this at all.

"Okay! Now we're all here! Let's plan a game" Hyun Seo said, excited.

"Is late Hyun Seo" Se Jong said, looking annoyed.

He was just so tired and only wanted to get some rest.

Was it too much to ask?

"Is only 11 (PM)" Hyun Seo said.

Rolling his eyes, Se Jong said, "Go sleep. I'm tired" about to get up.

"Come on! One more game and we'll leave" Hyun Seo said, stopping him.

Why? Why did he want to play at this time of the night?

It was late! And they had school tomorrow!

Also, Se Jong didn't want to be beside Chae Joon.

He could still feel his burning gaze on him.

He was still angry.

Just that,........he didn't know exactly what angered him.

*Sigh, he wanted to leave.

"Please. Lately, we don't spend time together. Everyone is always busy with something. I feel neglected. Unimportant......."

Author: Sorry Hyun Seo, you really are not important.

Hyun Seo: Shut up.

"Just do this for me" Hyun Seo begged, giving Se Jong his puppy eyes.

*Sigh, Se Jong sighed in defeat, "You're so not cute"

"I tried my best" Hyun Seo answered.

"Fine, one game and then we're off to sleep" Se Jong said, making Hyun Seo happy.

"Great!" He exclaimed, smiling.

"Then....... I'll call Jay and tell him to join us" Shin Hye said, smiling.

"Okay" Se Jong replied.

"I'm fine with it" Hyun Seo said and they looked at Tae Jin

Wanting his reply as well.

Smiling, Tae Jin said, "Sure".

           ************👻👻***********

Inviting Jay, he agreed to come over.

Leaving Si-Yeong alone in the house.

She was alseep, that's why he was here alone.

Jay thought this would be a good start, getting to know the friends more.

And that was why he was here even though he didn't get why they were playing a game this late.

It was 11pm for god sake!

They should be asleep, they had school tomorrow!

And yet here he was, with them, joining the game as well.

I almost forgot.

Jay shared a seat with Shin Hye and Hyun Seo. He was in the middle and for some reason, he felt like a kid.

He never liked being in the middle.

Made him feel small, for some reason he didn' know.

"Okay, I'll go first. We'll play truth or dare" Hyun Seo said.

He chose this game because he wanted to know exactly what his friends was hiding from him.

He knew, could feel they were hiding something and he wanted to know.

Also, he knew their friends, none of them will choose dare. Meaning,.......... he'll get the truth he wanted.

Why?

He just knew.

Also, why this late? Why did he want to know the truth now and not tomorrow or the day after?

Well, that's because he was full of curiosity and he knew very well, he won't get any sleep.

For a good sleep, he took action now.

"Truth or Dare? Why that?" Se Jong asked, trying his very best not to look at Chae Joon.

The guy's eyes was on him.

He kept staring!

Why? What did he want from him?!!

Author: Forgiveness.

Well, he was not getting that any time soon.

"You left out the bottle Hyun Seo" Tae Jin said and he (Hyun Seo) replied,

"Who cares"

"Is part of the game Hyun Seo" Shin Hye said and he (Hyun Seo) rolled his eyes, "I think our lips will do just fine" he (Hyun Seo) said, making them smile.

This guy........

"Anyways, if you don't give an answer or do what you're told to, you'll get slapped by the one who asked the question or gave the dare" Hyun Seo said, surprising them.

Slapped?

A slap?

Seriously?

"I'll ask first" Hyun Seo said but then, he didn't get to ask anything because Shin Hye took the lead.

"What happened between you and Clara, Tae Jin?" She asked Tae Jin, surprising him.

And he wasn't the only one, Se Jong, Jay and Hyun Seo were as well.

While Hyun Seo was angry, the others wanted to know.

They were curious about it.

"I go first Shin Hye" Hyun Seo yelled out, glaring at Shin Hye.

Looking at him, Shin Hye smiled, saying, "Well, I did"

"But I don't like it! I brought it up! Also, you didn't even ask him Truth or Dare! You're spoiling the game Shin Hye!" Hyun Seo yelled out.

Annoyed, Shin Hye frowned, saying, "Suck it up Hyun Seo! Stop acting like a baby"

"I and Clara.............." Tae Jin began, gaining their attentions.

Wow! What happened?

Tae Jin wanted to share now?

Se Jong thought, surprised.
