"Hey, what are we having for dinner? I've been starving the whole day" Sung Yoon asked, smiling like an idiot. Sorry, she really was an idiot! Since her arrival, has she noticed any food around? Maybe there were invisible cooked meals on the dinner plus snacks and fruits which only Sung Yoon could see.

Stupid girl.

Dinner? She was basically asking for the impossible!!

"Dear Sung Yoon" oh, that strained smile on Hae Jin's face as he said this really scared the hell out of her!

'W—What's the matter Hae Jin?" she asked hesitantly, feeling scared and nervous at the same time but Hae Jin did not answer her question, continuing what he wanted to say.

"Do you seriously think I have food in this house? Oh, maybe you think I cooked dinner and stored them inside the old unplugged fridge which has been looking useless, old and dirty!" Oh, Hae Jin was irritated. She could tell that much from the strained smile on his face, looking like he could kill her any moment now.

And she was already dead.

What the...... Just what did she do? She only asked if there was food........ Wait a moment,

Food?

"Don't tell me, have you been starving all this while?! Have you been starving here for the past 6years?!!" She couldn't even bring herself to be in Hae Jin's shoes. Starving for years?!!

God!, at this moment, she just realised she was 100% lucky. Not even once has she starved since her death. In the cemetery, she used to s—*Clear throat, she used to borrow or take foods on the graves of the souls who has already depart to heaven.

Sometimes, she would also go out and stea—*Clear throat, she didn't steal! No she didn't! She only took the food, from restaurants, food shops and others.

But of course, the food she took, didn't go notice, after all, she only took the souls of the foods.

Which meant, she had her fill and the humans she st—, she meant, took their foods also had theirs.

"Of course not" Hae Jin finally answered her question, "A woman......" Come to think of it, he never got her name. Well, whatever.

Hae Jin decided to continue his words, "A woman comes by the house once every year and for some reason, she always leaves a small size of strawberry cake and can drink behind. I don't know if is for me or for someone else" Maybe the woman brought the food for someone she knew who used to stay in the house and was now death. 

Who knew? He's just glad she did.

"Yeah, even I'm confuse by her actions. So, has she already come by?"

"No. And I'm a little worried about her. I hope she's not sick" And wasn't dead already. The woman was kind to him, intentionally or not. She was and he has come to like her.

"Wait, did you say once every year? Like Once every year? You have been eating once in every year?!"

"That's right" And why did Sung Yoon look so shocked? 

"You fool?! Don't look at me as if I'm stupid?!!!" Oh, it shown on his face? He really was thinking Sung Yoon was stupid.

"You have been eating once in every year!! Do you think that's something to brag about?! You have literally been starving!!"

"No, because for some reason, eating once in a year actually satisfies me for the whole year"

"Uh?" What the...... What was he talking about? She was confuse, lost.

"You, did you say what I think I heard?"

"Yes, Sung Yoon"

"You're weird"

"And you realise this now?"

"Why can't you just stop talking back? Let me be the one to win sometimes"

"Well, I can't have that"

Sung Yoon rolled her eyes before saying, "Okay, whatever, just stay here, I'll go get food for both of us. I can't sleep on an empty stomach"

"You're a ghost"

"Yet I still eat to survive"

"Yeah but you won't died from not eating. I mean you're already death" 

"True" Sung Yoon nodded in agreement, "But still, why do ghosts eat anyway? Why do we still get hungry even though we're already dead?"

"Well, I guess even though we're dead, our desire to fill our stomach with food still remains. I don't know. This is just my opinion"

"We haven't left behind everything that makes us human" Hae Jin said bewilderingly, staring at Sung Yoon.

"We're still living after all. Well, even if we crossover to the afterlife, we will still live, but it will be the beginning of a new life. A life filled with happiness, relief, joy and calmness. With no negativity"

Hae Jin smile at her, judging by how she was describing life in heaven, it was like she has been there before. And Hae Jin found himself loving the idea of crossing over to the other side even more.

However.......he will only be able to do that if he found his special one.

How frustrating!!! Hae Jin yelled in mind.

"Hey, I'll go find food for us, why don't you stay" Sung Yoon said, getting up. Hae Jin rolled his eyes after hearing what Sung Yoon said, "You mean steal"

"I'm not a thief"

"We both know you are"

"How can I be one if they don't realise their food is missing? Anyway, stay safe I'll be back" and just like that, Sung Yoon left for the front door, shouting, "And don't open the door for strangers!!"

"What am I a 4year old kid?" Hae Jin said. Smiling at his response, Sung Yoon walked through the front door, exiting the house as if it was nothing. Hae Jin would have been so jealous if he saw it.

He couldn't get out no matter how many times he tried, but Sung Yoon was able to do it as easily as breathing. That's if she had no 'breathing issues' which Sung Yoon didn't because she was dead.

"That woman" Hae Jin smiled. Desperately hoping Sung Yoon will return soon. He never liked it when he was in this big old house alone.

He felt lonely.
