             ********👻👻*******

"Mr Chang" Hae Jin called out to him, a smile on his face.

They stood at the entrance gate, facing Mr Chang.

"Old man Chang" Sung Yoon called out to him, surprised to see him here and also because it looked like Hae Jin knew him.

"Hae Jin, my child" Mr Chang said, tears in his eyes.

*Sigh, he felt relief, glad to see Hae Jin again.

"Hold on, you really know each other?" Sung Yoon said, still surprised.

"You know him?" Hae Jin asked her.

How come she knew him and he (Hae Jin) was meeting him now?

"The one who took in the cake and drinks for Tae Jin's birthday. His 17th birthday" Sung Yoon answered, surprising him.

"What?!" He (Hae Jin) yelled out.

Mr Chang was this close and they never met?

Then again,........ Not like he (Hae Jin) would have remembered him if they meet earlier.

Only Mr Chang would have.

"Is really you Hae Jin" Mr Chang said.

He (Mr Chang) really wish Yoon Ah was here.

She would have been so happy.

"How do you know each other?" Sung Yoon asked and he (Hae Jin) answered,

"I know him from my past life. He and Yoon Ah were friends"

"The one old woman who used to visit once every year?" Sung Yoon asked but it was more of a statement.

"Come to think of it, you live in this very neighborhood! A few blocks away from here!" Sung Yoon yelled out and Mr Chang smiled,

"Yes" he (Mr Chang) said.

Wow!

This was shocking.

Everyone, Mr Chang, Tae Jin, Tae Jin's parents, Shin Hye's dad, Chae Joon and the old woman (Yoon Ah), they were all connected to Hae Jin and he had no idea.

His past life was this close to him, and he had no idea.

Sung Yoon thought.

I, the author, also had no idea.

I'm in shock!

"What happened? You died?" Hae Jin asked even though he could see with his own two eyes.

Mr Chang was a ghost, just like him.

What happened to him?

"Yes, a month or two after your death" Mr Chang said and he nodded.

"Yoon Ah?" He asked, wanting to know what to happened to the old woman.

Yoon Ah never told him (Hae Jin) how she died and he was curious.

"Yes,...... she's dead. She came over to see me before she died but she couldn't see me" Mr Chang said.

Well, this was something he (Hae Jin) did not know.

"She was a human with no ability to see ghosts and I was a ghost. My son and his wife weren't home either so she didn't stay for long. And after her death........She came again. She.......she was killed by....... Ms Mo Ah" Mr Chang said, surprising Sung Yoon and Hae Jin.

"What?!" Hae Jin exclaimed in shock.

Ms Mo Ah, that was Chae Joon's mother.

Why did she kill her (Yoon Ah)?!

"She never told me you were in the house. I met Sung Yoon again and she said she had a friend, Hae Jin but I never believed it was you. I thought you crossed over that very day you died" Mr Chang said.

"Hold on!, She was killed? Why?" Hae Jin asked.

"Yes. Your stepmother killed her. She found out the truth and tried to report it that's why she was killed" Mr Chang said.

So then, Mr Chang knew about the truth as well.

What Mo Ah did.

So,.........was this the reason why she (Yoon Ah) apologized?

Because she couldn't help him?

Why?

He had so many good people and none of the escaped death?!

"The man she hired to kill you,........he was also killed" Mr Chang said.

He (Mr Chang) believed cause they never heard from him again.

"This is crazy Hae Jin, your stepmother is willing to do anything to keep the secret" Sung Yoon said.

Still surprised, hurt, Hae Jin said, "We.....we have to stop her!"

"Hae Jin......" Mr Chang called out to him, feeling sorry.

Hae Jin knew, his stepmother now had everything.

Power, Influence! People!

There was nothing they could do to her.

Even if she was arrested, she'll get freed.

There was no evidence as well.

Mo Ah knew this!

So then,..........

What she was trying to keep intact was her image.

If news got out that she killed him (Hae Jin), stole his properties, killed everyone who knew, definitely, her image, reputation! Will be damaged!

Even though there was no evidence.

That woman!

She had to die.

Hae Jin had to put an end to her.

For Tae Jin's sake.

Tae Jin knew everything, meaning, he was in danger as well.

He'll protect him.

No matter what!

Come to think of it, where was Tae Jin?

"Hae Jin?" Mr Chang called out to him, drawing him out of his thoughts.

Looking at Mr Chang, a smile on his face, Hae Jin said, "Thanks for everything Mr Chang. I don't want to involve you in any of this so you should leave. I'll definitely visit you later"

"But Hae Jin" Mr Chang tried to argue back.

"Please. You might be a ghost now, but I still don't want you involve" Hae Jin said.

Knowing he'll never win against the stubborn Hae Jin, Mr Chang agreed.

"O......Okay" he said.

"Great. See him off Sung Yoon" Hae Jin said with a smile and she nodded.

Watching them (Sung Yoon and Mr Chang) as they left, Sun presented himself behind Hae Jin.

"Hae Jin,....we have to talk" he said, gaining Hae Jin's attention.

He turned to look at him (Sun), already frustrated, "Not now Sun. I have a lot on mind and I........"

"I never betrayed you" Sun blurt out.

"Listen Sun....."

"Tae Jin is not my son" He said, surprising Hae Jin.

"What?"

"This is why I divorced Hee Young. I found out Tae Jin is not my son and she had been lying to me all those years. But I never stopped loving Tae Jin and I still think of him as my son. Just that....... After finding out the truth, I just....... I couldn't bring myself to stay in the same with Hee Young."

"What?" Hae Jin asked, still in shock.

Then, who was Tae Jin's father?

And why did Hee Young hide this?

Why did she lie?

For how long did she know?

Since the very beginning?

"Hae Jin! Sun! Come here! You need to see this" Hee Young called out to them.

Looking at the direction where they heard her voice, they saw Hee Young.

She stood at the front door, looking worried.

Seriously, did she really know everything from the beginning?

Why did she hide it?

Hae Jin asked himself, looking at Hee Young.

              ***********👻👻********

A few steps away from the front door stood Hae Jin, Sun, Chae Joon, Hee Young, Se Jong, Hyun Seo and Shin Hye.

Holding Hee Young's phone, Hae Jin stared at the picture Shin Joon sent her (Hee Young)

It was Tae Jin.

And he was tied up on a chair.

A piece of cloth in his mouth.

A knife held on his throat.

Now, they all knew what this meant.

"What the fuck!" Hae Jin yelled out, surprised and worried about Tae Jin.

He was taken.

Tae Jin was taken.

No wonder he was no where to be seen around the house.

But then,.....when?

When did this happen?!

Gosh! Another problem!

Hae Jin was getting tired of this.

"M.....My father..... he's got Tae Jin" Shin Hye said with teary eyes. Worried about Tae Jin.

Her father!

Why was he doing?!

"He wants us" Hee Young said, tears in her eyes, looking at Sun.

"We have to save him!!" Hae Jin yelled out, now angry.

His eyes......his eyes were turning red.

He might turn into an evil ghost.

(Chae Joon thought)

"Calm down Hae Jin" Chae Joon said, worried about him (Hae Jin)

"I.......I know where they might be" Shin Hye said.

"Shin Hye" Hyun Seo called out to her, feeling sorry for her.

But Hae Jin was not feeling the same.

"Tell me now!" He yelled at Shin Hye.

Sun watched him, sad, heartbroken.

He......He (Sun) knew what this meant.

"There's....... there's a cabin, a family cabin. Is empy and we haven't used it for a long time. He's...... he's definitely there" Shin Hye said.

"Then,....... let's check it out" Chae Joon said.

"I brought my car we can take it" Sun said.

"Me too" Hee Young said.

"Great" Chae Joon replied and they made their way out.

An anxious, 'ready to kill' Hae Jin leading.

            ***********👻👻********

In Sun's car, it was him, Shin Hye, Hae Jin and Jay in it.

Needing comfort, Shin Hye asked Jay to come along and he immediately agreed. Worried about Shin Hye who did not look well.

Sun and Hae Jin in the front seats.

Shin Hye and Jay at the backseat.

They were leading cause Shin Hye who knew the way was with them.

In Hee Young's car, she and Hyun Seo on the front seats.

Chae Joon and Se Jong on the backseats.

"This is just crazy" Jay said. Shin Hye told him everything.

What was going on.

Where they were going.

And seriously, he could not believe this.

How could anyone be so evil?!

Also, was it a good idea to leave Si-Yeong behind?

She could help, right?

"I'm pretty sure Ms Park wants to get rid of us now. We know too much" Sun said.

Ms Park or Mo Ah, Hae Jin's stepmother.

She was the mastermind of everything and she won't rest until they were all dead.

Dead!

That old woman.

She was around 70 or so and she still won't stop doing evil.

Shouldn't she be preparing for her death bed!

"Tae Jin and Shin Hye broke up, they feel threatened, thinking we'll report them" Sun said, shaking his head.

"My father........" Shin Hye, tears streaming down.

Immediately, Jay hugging her, gently caressing her back.

comforting her.

"Didn't you plan to?" Hae Jin asked, curious.

"No,.......we had no plans. I and Hee Young,....we were too scared to do so. We wanted to warn Tae Jin about her. Tae Jin still doesn't know she's a bad person" Sun said.

"Right. She called Tae Jin last night and they talked. I found her voice familiar and I............"

"You had another episode" Sun completed his words.

"Exactly. I remembered her, and Chae Joon. Our (He and Chae Joon) days. The horrible ones with her and the happy ones with him" Hae Jin said.

"I see" Sun replied.

"When did you start seeing ghosts?" Hae Jin asked, curious.

As far as he remembered, Sun could not see ghosts..........

"After your death. I and Hee Young,......we started seeing ghosts. I don't know how Tae Jin got up cause, Hee Young couldn't see ghosts then and..... you were still alive when he was born,.... but,.....he did" Sun said.

Well, he (Tae Jin) was sure there was a good reason.

However, Chae Joon's reason.........made sense.

"You're........ you're dating my son?" Sun said and the hurt in his ton could not be missed.

However, Hae Jin did not notice and thought Sun found it weird and was disgusted of something.

"Yes.... I'm sorry. I'll..... I'll leave him if you want me to. I understand. Is not......" Hae Jin said but he didn't get to finish.

"I don't have a problem but then........" Sun said, feeling so much pain in his heart.

"There'll not be 'Us' again, right?" He (Sun) asked, feeling worst.

Hae Jin....... couldn't answer.

What now?

Turns out Sun, his first love, did not betray him.

He (Sun) has been waiting for him, loving him.

And he.....he (Hae Jin) moved on.

What....... What now?

What should he do?

Should he go back to Sun or follow his heart and be with Tae Jin?

Come to think of it,..........he just.....he just found out his past life. How he died.

Did it mean he'll be crossing over now?

He wasn't ready.

No, he didn't want to.

Hae Jin did not want to cross over.
