Morning (Around 10am)

In the room, Se Jong sat on the edge of the bed, head lowered down, looking depressed.

Chae Joon and Hyun Seo gone, it was just him in the room.

Yes, Hyun Seo took his tent with him.

And left nothing of his in there.

*Sigh, Se Jong sighed,

"Chae Joon, I know you're well. But I still can't help but wonder how you're doing. Are you loving your new life? Are you coping well? Are you an angel now? Do you smile a lot? Do you laugh a lot? Do you have friends now? Who are they? What are they doing?"

*Sigh, he sighed again,

"I don't know what to do anymore Chae Joon. I can't focus on my studies. I always think about you and I miss you so much! I.......I wonder if you do too" he said, sighing.

What the heck was he (Se Jong) doing?!

Why was he saying all this?!

Not like Chae Joon could hear him, right?

"This is just crazy! Super crazy!" He said, running his hand through his hair, frustrated.

"I know. And I wonder why you won't ask me face to face" 

That......

That was Chae Joon's voice! 

He was not hearing things, right?

Surprised, in disbelief and a bit hopeful, slowly, Se Jong raised up his head and was taken back once again when he saw the real deal.

Before him.

"Chae Joon!" He exclaimed in shock, happy.

It really was Chae Joon.

He looked the same.

And he was smiling at him.

"Yes, is me" Chae Joon said, smiling.

Se Jong was confused.

What was going on?

Chae Joon crossed over right?

So why was he here?

"You....." Se Jong could not let out another word. 

Immediately, he got up, getting closer to Chae Joon.

In disbelief, wanting to confirm this, he began touching Chae Joon, making sure he was really there.

He was real.

And this made Chae Joon laugh.

"You're..... You're real" Se Jong said, finally done with his experiment.

"Love, am back" Chae Joon said, smiling.

"Chae Joon!!" Se Jong called out to him, tears in his eyes as he hugged Chae Joon.

Smiling, Chae Joon gently caressed his hair.

Finally, they meet again.

It was a long wait but it was worth it.

He (Chae Joon) missed Se Jong,.....a lot.

            ********👻👻*******

On his way back from the convenience store, Tae Jin came to a stop, a few steps away from the front gate.

*Sigh, he sighed.

He forgot to buy what he went there (The convenience store) for and returned empty handed.

What did he want to buy?

Alcohol!

A few bottles won't hurt any one right? Cause he needed it so bad.

Yes.

Him alone.

Se Jong said he has stopped drinking and never wanted to touch alcohol ever again.

Why?

Cause Chae Joon didn't like it.

Come to think of it, he did promise his hyung that he won't drink, until he was older. But......he was older now, right?

He was 20years.

*Sigh,..........he really needed it.

Hasn't gotten a good sleep after his hyung left.

Hasn't gotten a sound mind after his hyung left.

He (Tae Jin) really needed it.

"Tae Jin" his name was called and he knew that voice very well.

Immediately, Tae Jin looked up and there, he found his hyung.

Hae Jin.

His Hae Jin!

Waiting at the gate, a smile on his face as he looked at him (Tae Jin)

"H......hyung?"

What?

What was he (Tae Jin) seeing? 

Tae Jin was in shock!

Confused!

In disbelief!

What was he seeing?!

An illusion?

Was he going crazy?

This was one of the many days right?

"You're..... you're not real, right?" He asked, still in shock and he watched as Hae Jin walked towards him.

Getting closer, closer!

He (Tae Jin) was imagining things!

Was an illusion!

A step away from him, Hae Jin came to a stop, smiling, he said,

"Why don't we prove it" and after those words left his lips, he kissed Tae Jin on the lips.

It was a light kiss and it ended sooner than he (Tae Jin) wanted.

In fact, it was too quick and he did not get a chance to........process it!

What a shame!

*Sigh, he sighed in mind.

Even so,.....he (Tae Jin) got it.

It was clear.

"Is....Is it really you" he said and Hae Jin's smile widened.

"Yes. Is me and you're still my special one" he (Hae Jin) replied.

What?

What did he (Hae Jin) mean by that?

And......

"Where did you go? Why did you take so long? I thought I've lost you forever! You should have come sooner! A day, minutes or a second after you left!" Tae Jin yelled out, tears in his eyes.

Gently touching his face, Hae Jin wiped his eyes.

It was really was his hyung.

His touch.....it really was him!

And his touch still sent his (Tae Jin) heart racing.

Still made it hard for him to breath.

Still made him giddy.

Gosh! He missed this feeling!

He missed his (Hae Jin) touch!

"I'm sorry, I had to deal with something. I had to make sure, when we meet again, we won't part ways" Hae Jin said.

"Hyung...... And you took a whole 2years?!" And a deep frown was on his face as he said the last sentence.

Hugging him, Hae Jin said, " I'm sorry" smiling.

Tae Jin hugged him back, feeling so relief, grateful.

Heart, mind, finally at peace.

*Sigh, he sighed in mind,

This was so much better.

Finally, he got his hyung back.

And he'll never lose him again.

But........Why was his hyung a bit cold?

His hand was not when he touched him (Tae Jin)

Why was his body a bit cold?

                ***********👻👻********

2YEARS AGO.

After Chae Joon and Hae Jin turned into white orbs and faded, they appeared in a familiar place.

A place both knew very well.

It was a basement and this basement was located in that house.

The house he (Hae Jin) grew up in.

The house he shared so many good memories with his mother, father and Chae Joon.

The very house he gained so many horrible memories in the hands of Mo Ah, his stepmother.

This house used to be his home because of the people in it.

However, after his mom died and his father married Mo Ah, moved it, it turned into a nightmare.

His father wasn't always around cause he had work.

And when he was or even heard of all the stuffs Mo Ah did to him (Hae Jin), he never took his side.

Never defended him.

Never fought for him.

'Mo Ah knows what she's doing. She's your mother and she's raising you to become a good person. A good man' his (Hae Jin) would say something like this, totally breaking him into pieces.

Hae Jin didn't know, if his father loved Mo Ah so much that, he decided to turn an eye on all the evil she was doing to him (Hae Jin), his son.

Or........maybe she manipulated him.

Threatened him.

Whatever the case was, what was done was done.

Anyways, Hae Jin knew this basement very well.

In fact, they had a special relationship.

He was beaten (By Mo Ah) and forced to stay in there for a whole week and the basement was kind enough to let him stay.

In fact, he did not remember the member of times he was threw here and the basement catered for him.

But then,........those times, it was filled with unused stuffs, broken stuffs and his mom's stuffs.

His mom's stuffs was the only comfort he had and that kept him going.

Kept him living.

However,........ All those stuffs were gone!

The basement was clean and all he could see was two hospital beds and two people on it.

"What's going on?" Chae Joon asked him, also surprised and confused.

Just like he was.

Exactly! What was going on?

They crossed over and it looked like they didn't.

What happened?

Getting closer, they were take back.

What?

What were they seeing?!

It......It was them on the beds.

Tubes and all.........

Seriously?!

What was going?! 

Hae Jin was so confused!

"I........I knew we're not dead. We're in coma" Chae Joon said, going closer to his body.

"What the f***k?!" Hae Jin exclaimed in shock.

This........This explained everything!

Why their bodies were warm!

Why they could eat once and won't feel hungry the whole year.

Why they couldn't remember leaving their bodies.

Why....Why they did not cross over.

They had not complete their missions.

Hae Jin never found out how he died.

He found out how he became a ghost.

What led to it.

Chae Joon remembered everything.

How he became he ghost.

What led to it.

And they were supposed to find out the last thing, how they left their bodies.

And they just found out.

They were not dead.

They were alive.

And their bodies has aged.

They seemed to be in their 40s.

Just like Hee Young and Sun, they've aged as well.

"I'm not liking this" Hae Jin said, deep frown on his face.

"Me too. What are we going to do now?" Chae Joon asked him and he (Hae Jin) took a seat on the bed, beside his body.

"I mean, I still look handsome but I.........." And before he (Hae Jin) could complete his words, they heard footsteps.

Looking at the stairs leading to the basement, they watched as Mo Ah, Chae Joon's mother and his stepmother, walked down.

They were not surprised to see her cause they were sure she brought them there.

Seriously!

The woman has changed.

A bit.

In her 60s, she looked beautiful and a bit younger.

She has always been beautiful.

Hae Jin won't lie about that.

Only wish, her beautiful was the same.

"Chae Joon, my child" Mo Ah said, a depressed look on her face as she stared at Chae Joon, her only son.

Her only child.

But seeing her now, after everything she did to him (Hae Jin) and Yoon Ah, Hae Jin still felt sorry for her.

'I can't kill her' was his (Hae Jin) last thought as he stared at Mo Ah who stood beside (Chae Joon, the soul) staring at her son (Chae Joon's body) who was in coma.

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

Seated on a chair beside her son, Mo Ahh stared at Chae Joon's body, feeling sad, heartbroken.

Chae Joon stood behind her, glaring at her while Hae Jin was seated beside his body, staring at Mo Ah.

It's been 21years and her son was still not waking up.

Why?

She has everything now and only wanted her son but she, was not getting that.

Why?

Was this a punishment for all the bad things she did?

Still doing?

No one!

No one knew Chae Joon and Hae Jin were alive.

The world did not know.

The coffin was empty.

They did not bury Hae Jin's body but stones instead.

No one knew this except her, Shin Joon and the lawyer.

Chae Joon's death was announced but there was no funeral and no one heard or witnessed it (The funeral)

But the world knew he (Chae Joon) was dead.

Only her, Shin Joon and the lawyer knew they were both alive and well........just that....... They were in coma.

If only her son, Chae Joon would wake up, then she'll kill Hae Jin and give everything, to her son.

How did he (Chae Joon) come back to life?

What happened?

Mo Ah knew she'll find a perfect, reasonable explanation to give and everyone will shut up.

Chae Joon will get everything.

Just so he'll get a comfortable life and won't struggle in life like she did.

Everything she did was for her son.

But Chae Joon, he wanted none of that and chose to kill himself.

Lucky, he survived.

So did Hae Jin.

Her son really loved and cared for Hae Jin, that's why she still kept him alive after finding out he was not dead and fell in coma.

However, she kept this from Chae Joon just to see his reaction.

And when he found out Hae Joon was dead, he also tried to kill himself and ended in coma.

Knowing how much her son loved Hae Jin, she decided to keep him by his side, maybe, he might wake up.

As planned, Hae Jin was claimed dead, she got all the properties but then, she lost her son.

Her only son.

"My son, wake up for me. Am lonely. See! Hae Jin still here! Still here! Please wake up! Wake up for me!" Mo Ah cried out, holding Chae Joon's hand.

Glaring at his mother, Chae Joon said, "I'm never waking up. I'll rather die"

Immediately, Hae Jin looked at him, surprised to hear that.

What was he saying?

His mother was here.

Crying! Longing for him and he.......

He (Chae Joon) did not want to wake up?
