In the old house, Hae Jin was once again seated on the couch he sat on earlier but this time, he wasn't alone. His guest, the lady he met in the previous chapter was with him.

The lady sat on the dirty wooden floor before him. Waiting for him to give her a seat but judging by the way Hae Jin looked (Lost in thought) she didn't think it was happening any time soon.

Hae Jin found out from her that her name was Sung Yoon and she was a ghost just like him.

Talk about having bad luck and hoping too much.

He really hoped Sung-Yoon would be human. A human who could see him, hear his voice and maybe touch him and what happened? His hope crushed into pieces right before his eyes.

Great! He thought sarcastically,

At least he found someone who could see him, talk to him and touch him, he won't be lonely anymore right? 

Thank God ghosts could touch each other!!

Even so........ he still wished she was human instead. But, as the saying goes 'Beggars can't be choosers'

He should just accept what he got and be grateful.

"You're thinking of something rude right? I can see it in your eyes"

"I wouldn't dare" Hae Jin lied through his teeth, avoiding Sung-Yoon's gaze.

Sung-Yoo sighed, seeing through his lie but decided not to say anything about it. That's right, she couldn't afford to offend this guy when she needed this safe place.

What if he kicked her out of the house? Surely, those demons would have her head.

By the way,........ Sung-Yoon looked up at Hae Jin who was still avoiding her gaze, looking guilty as he should be.

This guy really was handsome and cute!!!

Damn! How can anyone be cute and handsome at the same time?

Right, there was only one place you're find people like that, 'The entertainment industries' Or maybe people like him did exist but, she didn't get the chance to meet one. Who knew?

In any case, Hae Jin was one of those handsome cute guys and this was the first time she was seeing one.

Describing Hae Jin in her eyes, Sung Yoon begun.

Hae Jin's height was about 160cm and she came to this conclusion earlier when she first encountered with him at the entrance door.

He had what she thought was a handsome cute face, light blue hair and beautiful crystal blue eyes that drew her to him magically. But..... His eyes spelt so much loneliness and fear.

This bothered her a lot. A handsome cute guy's eyes must always show happiness, enjoyment!

........... Then again, maybe his eyes didn't spark with liveliness because he's dead.

He's a ghost.

Whatever the case was, she was here and she will make sure she brings a smile on that handsome face of his.

"Wow, you really are cute and handsome" Sung-Yoon said thinking it would bring a smile on his face. From her time of being alive, she realised guys really liked, loved it when they got good comments about their looks.

But....... It seems Hae Jin wasn't one of those guys and she could tell by the way he was glaring at her.

"Cute! I'm not cute! I'm handsome and cool" That's his beef? He didn't like being called cute?

That's nonsense in her book!

Sung Yoon frown at him, stating, "Listen to me darling, you're handsome, gorgeous! And cute! And the sooner you get that into your head, the better it will do you. You won't be hearing the word 'Cute' from only me you know" Sung-Yoon rolled her eyes at him.

What was so bad about a guy being cute? He was cute! Very cute!

And that wasn't going to change no matter what he said or how many times he looks himself in the mirror.

Author: Ghosts don't reflect in mirrors.

And he better get use to being called one because she won't be the last per—ghost he will hear it from.

And she completely ignored me. *Sigh, am the author, how can she ignore me?

Whatever! Back to the story....

*Sigh, Hae Jin sighed tiredly, "Let's just drop this topic" Being called cute really spoiled his already ruined mood.

"Seriously" Hae Jin looked at her, watching her as she scanned the room. "This place really is dirty. Everywhere is dirty, the walls, doors, floors. I can literally count all the cobwebs around! Also, I hate the fact that I'm seated on this dirty floor"

Hae Jin rolled his eyes, feeling irritated, "Are you complaining? And what's wrong with sitting on dirty floors? You're a ghost right? You don't get dirty!" Sung-Yoon awkwardly turned her head to look at Hae Jin, meeting an angered look on his face.

Wow, he looked so angry!! And here she didn't want to get kicked out, looking at the situation she brought to herself, it might come true.

She must do something to avoid getting kicked out.

Hurriedly, she said "Oh, come on handsome, please don't be angry. You're a cool guy right? Cool guys don't get angry easily" beaming at him. With what she said, surely, Hae Jin won't kick her out right? He loved to be called cool and handsome.

Once again, Hae Jin rolled his eyes saying, "I thought I was cute"

Oh, it didn't work, "Please don't mind my foolish mouth! It always spurt nonsense" Sung-Yoon slapped her lips with an awkward smile.

"Whatever" Hae Jin sighed, trying to calm down his nerves. Succeeding, he asked, "By the way, what are you doing here? And, how did you die?" Hae Jin asked curiously and he watched as Sung-Yoon looked down, looking devastated. 

Ah, now he felt bad for asking that question (About how she died)

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to share" he hurried to say. Not wanting to see Sung Yoon sad anymore than she already was.

But the person Hae Jin was so worried about, ignored his concern as she shook her heading, sending the message 'Is okay" with a sad smile as she looked at Hae Jin.

"I don't have a problem sharing it with you. I just...... I feel sad when I recall how I died. The pain I went through. I......"

"Then you don't have to tell me" from what Sung-Yoon just said, it's enough reason not to tell him. Again, he didn't want to see her anymore sad than she already was.

But Sung Yoon didn't listen to him and went on with her story, "I died when I was 23,...... from cancer, months ago" wow! That just........ Hae Jin couldn't think of another word to complete his sentence. He was just speechless.

"A while ago I was running from evil ghosts. I don't know what they wanted from me but if my guess is right, they wanted to corrupt my soul so I can join them"

Evil ghosts? Now that was news to him. He had no idea on what was happing in the ghost world or what the ghost world was like because he was trapped here. Has been trapped here since his death.

"Evil ghosts?"

"Yeah, don't tell me........" Sung-Yoon looked surprisingly at her and for some reason, Hae Jin felt stupid. "You, when did you died?"

"I don't know, but I do believe is 6years ago. I don't remember anything else besides that, my name and age. Not even how I died"

"Oh, that's sad" Sung-Yoon said devastatingly, the thought of her friend, Chae Joon coming to mind.

"I know right, and the saddest thing is, I've been trapped in here all those years till now. You're the only one I've met that can see me, touch me, speak to me" She beamed at his words, "I feel honored" But she still couldn't stop thinking about how lucky she was she wasn't trapped anywhere.

Her thoughts was interrupted when Hae Jin's laughter sounded out probably because of what she said to him.

Almost immediately, she snapped her head up at him and she couldn't help but stare at him in fascination. His laughter sounded amazing to the ears and his face,...... Hae Jin should always laugh because he looked so beautiful when he did.

"I see" She snapped out of her thoughts when Hae Jin spoke. Gaining her senses, she asked, "By the way, do you know the four reasons why a soul would get stuck or still remain in this world after their death?"

"Uh?" Hae Jin asked stupidly, staring at Sung-Yoon with that bewildered stupid look but she found it cute. 

Smiling, she said, "There are four reasons for a soul to remain or get stuck in this world after their death. The first reason is, they didn't know how they died, the second reason is, it wasn't their time when they died. Like me"

"You?" Hae Jin asked curiously and once again, Sung Yoon smiled at how cute he was.

"Yeah, everyone in this world have a time of their death. It wasn't my time when I died so I have no choice but to remain in this world till my time is due"

"Seriously?!" Hae Jin exclaimed in shock. This was a lot to take in! And, how long was that going to take? (For a ghost who has to remain in the world until is their time to crossover to the afterlife) Days? Weeks? Months? Years? For how long?!

And Sung Yoon had no choice but to accept this. How boring, lonely it was going to be?!!!

"I don't know for how long I will have to stay in this world but one thing is right, I will do everything in my power to stay happy until then" Sung-Yoon said with a smile, watching Hae Jin who stared at her with widened eyes.

Finding Sung Yoon cool.

And like Sung Yoon knew what he was thinking, she asked, "Was I cool just now?" Hae Jin nodded continuously, agreeing.

Sung Yoon flipped her long dark-black hair, saying, "Oh, really? I know am cool, I've always been cool. I'm the coolest there is" she said confidently and proudly. Hae Jin rolled his eyes, already feeling irritated as he said,

"I take back what I said"

"Oh, no, please don't!" Sung-Yoon exclaimed in horror, panicking. Witnessing her reaction, Hae Jin couldn't help but smile.

It felt so good speaking to someone who wasn't himself. He missed this feeling.

"Oh, and, I remember everything from when I was alive" Hae Jin snapped out of his thoughts, asking in a curious surprised tone, "You remember your parents? Your family? Friends?" Sung-Yoon nodded with a smile, "I do. I remember everything"

"Then, have you pay them a visit?" Sung-Yoon shook her head, a sad smile coming on her face, "I haven't gotten the courage to" and with her last sentence, silence took over the atmosphere.

Hae Jin pitied her but he didn't know what to say to comfort her. Pity? He was the one that should be pitied the most. Not only did he not remember anything about himself, in fact he had no clue of his past life.

Between them, he was the most pitiful.

Sung-Yoon cleared her throat, breaking the silence that took control after her last words, "Anyway," Hae Jin looked up at her, "The third reason is, the person who died had an unfinished business to settle. With them, I heard some settle their business and crossover to the otherside (Or afterlife or Heaven) while others still remain. I think maybe is because it wasn't their time yet when they died. In that case, they have to wait until is their time before they crossover"

Hae Jin nodded, processing what she said, "Yeah, maybe you're right"

"And the four reason is, the person who died have no desire of crossing over to the other side even thought they knew how they died, died when their time was due and had no business to settle. Those ghosts who were after me were the same. They had no desire to crossover to the other side. They just wanted to remain in the world, doing evil"

"So then, those who have no desire to crossover to the other side could either be good souls or evil souls?"

"I don't know dear, but all those kind of souls I've met were evil. Evil to the core!" Hae Jin smiled, "I see"

"Anyway, the reasons doesn't have to be in order, I said them and you got them right?"

"So they do have to be in order. You messed them up, didn't you?"

"I won't answer" Sung-Yoon looked away with a guilty expression and Hae Jin couldn't help but smile. Sung-Yoon could be cute if she wanted to.

Come to think of it,

"Where were you staying before you came here?" 

"Right! That bastard Chae Joon!! He left me when he found his special one!!!" Sung-Yoon exclaimed angrily but Hae Jin was lost and the bewildered look on his face as he stared at Sung-Yoon was proof.

"Special One?" He asked in a confuse tone and expression, "What's that?"
