"This is the third apartment" on the third floor. And she was not there. They already checked it.

Kim Boom or Kim Soo or both of them was there (The fourth room or apartment) right?

In the fourth apartment right? Cause it was the only room left.

Or,........did they have to search the last floor, the fourth floor as well?

"Yes" Hae Jin said and then let out a sigh, he really didn't want to meet Kim Boom.

And he wish, the two has separated.

Come to think of it,........"Hyung, do you remember the room you were trapped? Kim Boom and Kim Soo stayed in the same room right?" Tae Jin asked.

Finally! 

Someone asked the question!!

"I think so. But when I came into the picture, Kim Boom rarely came around. I don't know where he stayed but I.......I was with Kim Soo in her apartment" Hae Jin said.

This was definitely the something he (Hae Jin) felt he was forgetting.

"And it looked like they lived in the apartment together. It was all beautiful and........nice. Looked more like an apartment unlike the others" Hae Jin said and he (Tae Jin) nodded before saying,

"Guess Kim Boom really cared about his sister. He even decorated one for her. Unlike the ones we just checked. There was nothing in it"

"Yes.......and........yes! I remember now! The apartment I stayed in with Kim Soo was on the.......the........I don't remember"

Huh? How can he not remember?!

It hasn't even been that long!

"Try to hyung, we have find her"

"Yes. On......."

Oh, what was it? How come he has forgotten it now?!

He remembered everything he experienced, saw and heard here!

But this.......... 

"Try harder hyung"

Remember Hae Jin! Remember Hae Jin.........

"Yes!" And he (Hae Jin) finally remembered,

"The second room on the last floor" Hae Jin exclaimed with a smile.

"The four floor! We have to go there now!" Tae Jin said and Hae Jin nodded.

Immediately, they made their way to the last floor.

The fourth floor.

                *********👻👻******

This......this looked dangerous. Se Jong thought, watching the fight unfolding before his eyes.

Kim Boom was incredibly powerful and he kept attacking Chae Joon with his powers which would turn into fireballs.

But then, the colour never changed.

The colour of the fireballs was that of red-black.

And looked dangerous. It literally burnt anything it hit. And Se Jong......he did not want to be hit by it.

Kim Boom.......he really was strong.

The guy hasn't even raised a hand!

He was using his mind.

He used his mind to turn his powers into fireballs and then send them to Chae Joon.

But then, Chae Joon wasn't doing bad himself.

He really was putting his skills into action.

Dodging the fireballs, skillfully jumping over them and using his dagger to cut through them as well.

That dagger can cut through anything!

Well, it was a heavenly weapon after all.

But seriously, Chae Joon really was cool fighting Kim Boom.

Se Jong has seen this before and every time, he couldn't help but find him cool.

Find him more...... capturing.

Attractive. 

He was literally walking on the ceiling, walls, dodging his attacks and Kim Boom, he wasn't giving up either.

This.......this looked entertaining, fun to watch, but then.......he loved being alive.

Being human.

So then,......he had to step back.

He'll hate to get hit by that fireball. Looked dangerous and it'll definitely hurt like fuck when hit by it.

And so, Se Jong took another step out.

Now, he stood outside, watching the fight through the opened old door.

Coward.

Se Jong: It never hurts to be one once in your life.

Author: Thanks for the advise.

               ***********👻👻*********

Getting to the fourth floor, both Hae Jin and Tae Jin came out a stop, right in front of the first room on the fourth floor.

There was no need checking the second room, Kim Soo's room because the one they came to look for,........

Stood in front of them.

Yes, Kim Soo, stood in front of the second room that she shared with her brother.

Looking at them in shock.

Like......she didn't except to see them.

"Kim Soo" Hae Jin called out her name.

Uh? Kim Soo?

This woman was Kim Soo? A grade 3 evil ghost?

No, she looked nothing like more.

This Kim Soo.....was a very beautiful woman. 

She wore a beautiful black sparkling dress which was up to her knees.

It was a simple dress and she looked really beautiful in it.

She had long blonde hair and........red eyes.

Guess, the eyes were the odd ones out.

The colour of her eyes, proved that she was an evil ghost.

All evil ghosts had red eyes and that's because the evil in them have completely taken over their heart, their eyes, which helps in figuring out what's right and wrong.

But still........this Kim Soo was a very beautiful woman.

Ignoring her red eyes,...... she was a very beautiful woman.

Attractive.

She looked more like a good ghost.

Author: By the way, Kim Soo's hair is not long like her brother's.

"Hae Jin" Kim Soo called out his name as she ran to hug him.

Hae Jin hugged her back and Tae Jin,......he did not like this at all.

The deep frown on his face said it all.

He hasn't hug his hyung, not even once!

And everyone....... everyone has done!

Author: Only ghosts. And wait until you hear he hugged Chae Joon. You'll probably die from heartbreak. What I love to see.

Tae Jin: Did you say something?

Author: No.

Tae Jin: After you said only ghosts, you said something else right?

Author: I didn't. Continue.

"I'm so happy to see you again. I waited for so long but you never came" Kim Soo said.

"I just came" Hae Jin said, having a moment with Kim Soo when suddenly, Tae Jin cleared his throat to gain their attentions.

Immediately, Hae Jin pulled away from Kim Soo who smiled, looking at Tae Jin.

"You brought a friend" she said.

"Tae Jin" Tae Jin introduced himself, trying his best to make sure the jealousy in him won't show on his face.

"Tae Jin?" Oh,.....he was the one Hae Jin told her about.

She entered his dream to tell him Hae Jin was coming back. But then.......she has never seen him before.

This was the first time.

Come to think of it,......she has heard so much about him.

Tae Jin,.......he was the one......

"He's your Tae Jin" Kim Soo said and for some reason,....Tae Jin liked it.

He was his hyung's.

He liked that.

Really liked that. Tae Jin thought, smiling, head lowered down so his hyung won't see how red his cheeks were.

"The one you......."

She, she'll let out the secret! He'll end up dead if Tae Jin finds out!

"Kim Soo! Enough!" Hae Jin yelled out, stopping her. Kim Soo smiled at him, knowing why he (Hae Jin) interrupted.

Why? Why did his hyung stop her? What was she going to say?

Okay now he was really curious to know.

Author: It'll be bad for your health.

Tae Jin: What? You know right? Tell me!!

"Kim Soo, am so glad you're here! I thought you were inside your brother. You have no idea how scared I was"

*Sigh, Hae Jin sighed, "Such a relief to see you here"

"You're still afraid of my brother. Don't worry he'll do you no harm as long as am here"

"Weren't you there when he stole half of his energy?"

"Tae Jin" Hae Jin called out his name, a frown on his face as he stared at Tae Jin.

What? Was he (Tae Jin) lying?

"I'm sorry about that Hae Jin" Kim Soo apologized, looking sorry.

"No worries" Hae Jin assured her with a smile.

"That time you weren't around and he took it before you even met me" he said.

Kim Boom was alone when he kidnapped him and brought him here.

He stole his soul before Kim Soo came to know about him.

Afterwards, she protected him from Kim Boom.

Always, and she even helped him escape.

She sent Kim Boom out to get something for her and when he came back, she had already helped him escape.

It took her long to help him escape because Kim Soo wanted company.

Someone who understood her.

Someone she could share her desires with.

Someone she could make jokes, have fun with.

And Kim Soo chose him.

She said because of him, she could feel more like a good ghost. Like a human.

Hae Jin willingly volunteered to stay for a while.

Though he was scared of Kim Boom, he did it for Kim Soo.

Just to see her smile.

He wanted to make her feel more alive, like a good ghost, like a human, just like Tae Jin did.

...................Come to think of it..........

"Are you alright? Kim Boom didn't do anything to you right?" Hae Jin asked, worried about her and Tae Jin rolled his eyes, annoyed.

Why did his hyung so worried? Kim Soo looked alright.

And.......why did it look like he cared about her a lot?!

For some reason,........this pissed him off!

"No. He did nothing to me. He was angry but........he calmed down for some time" Kim Soo said and he (Hae Jin) breathed out in relief before saying,

"Great" 

"You didn't come with Tae Jin alone right? I can feel the fight even from here" Kim Soo said, surprising both Tae Jin and Hae Jin.

"Fight?" Hae Jin asked and they finally noticed.

The building was shaking, and there was this...... vibration.

How come they didn't notice it before?

"Yes, I came with two of my other friends. Chae Joon and Se Jong" Hae Jin said.

"They're fighting my brother"

Chae Joon alone alright. Tae Jin thought.

"Are they ghosts as well?" Kim Soo asked and he (Hae Jin) answered.

"Chae Joon is a ghost, a hunter of evil ghosts and Se Jong is human. Just like Tae Jin, he also have the ability to see ghosts"

"I see" Kim Soo replied. This was good. Finally, they can cross over.

She and her brother.

"You should meet them. They'll be happy to see you too" Hae Jin said with a smile.

"Hae Jin, now that you're here, I'll get to the point" Kim Soo said.

"Huh?" Hae Jin asked, surprised.

And he wonder why he was even surprised. He already knew what Kim Soo was about to say.

"Save me now, please" Kim Soo begged.

Yes, this was it.

Hae Jin already knew it.

But he wasn't ready.

He wasn't ready to lose Kim Soo.
