"Lemme tell you how I tried to make them realise my presence the second time."

A week ago...

I was watching TV as usual as the bill I paid is extended for another few months.

I dont know what I would do after that. It is going to be boring if no one realises my presence. So I was determined to do everything possible for that.

Few minutes later...

I heard the knob turning and I realised their presence. I quickly changed the channel to my favourite cartoon so that they will think of me.

"Yeah, Jeon Jungkook." I heard Jin hyung shouting.

"Yes hyung?" The younger said walking inside.

"Why did you not turn off the TV yesterday?"

"I didnt put the TV." Jungkook said walking to the remote.

"Duh, notice my favourite cartooooon." I shouted

"Hey, its Tae's favourite cartoon." Jimin pushed Jin hyung and walked to the front.

"I think even the TV misses him." Jungkook turned off the TV making me dumbfounded.

"Really?? Cant you guys think of the possibility of my existance here." I said turning the TV on once again.

"Huh??" Jungkook, Jimin and Jin hyung said in unison.

"I am here. Look at me." I said floating in front of them.

"Jungkook, off the switch properly."

"I just did hyung. Cant you see." He said pointing to the switch.

"Its not off, look at it stupid." Jin hyung shouted.

"Ughhh, I just did." Jungkook turned it off again.

I turned it on again and he turned it off again. That game continued for another ten minutes and I was getting exhausted but Jungkook seems to enjoy it while the other two dumbfucks who came was busy cooking something.

"Really? Does it look like a hotel for you?" I asked floating to the kitchen.

"Hyung, cook Jajangmyeon. Thats Tae's favourite food." I heard Jimin suggesting.

"Okay Jimin."

"Really hyung? Last month, I begged you to cook that for me but you just made me instant noodles. I am freaking dead so why are you cooking my favourite food." I asked trying to pull Jin hyung but my hands passed through him.

"Poor Tae, he asked me to cook this for him but I didnt. He must have been upset." I heard Jin hyung confessing.

"Regret it hyung. I died without eating my favourite food. I even cried you know?" I asked sitting on the table.

"Leave it hyung, Tae might be in a happy place now. He wont keep all that in mind." Jimin said patting Jin hyung's back.

"What????? Nooo, I am still stuck here and I remember him not cooking for me. I aint that soft to forgive him." I sulked.

They continued cooking the food while I tried my best to mess things up but Jin hyung being the usual dumb didnt even realise it was me. He kept on spanking Jiminie's small ass for everything I did. I lost my hope and decided to go to Jungkook.

I kept making faces at Jungkook who was busy watching TV. I used to make weird faces in front of him whenever he watches his favourite programme before I died so I decided to continue it. It hurted a little when he didnt shout at me because thats what he used to do.

I gave up and plopped on the couch next to him. He looked unbothered about my presence and I could hear Jin hyung and Jimin laughing in the kitchen. Their conversations were mostly about me which made me feel sick for some reason. I dont know if a ghost can feel sick but I definitely did feel it.

"Jungkook-ah, Taetae miss playing games with you." I said trying to pat his hair.

"Huh? Who is that?" I heard him asking looking around.

"Did he just feel my hands?" I was so shocked that I fell off the couch.

"What happened Jungkook?" Jin hyung rushed to the hall jumping over the couch.

"Something hit my hair softly." He said with puppy eyes.

"You must have been day dreaming again." Jimin said turning off the TV.

"No hyung. I am saying the truth. It felt like Taetae's hands. He used to pat my hair just like that." He said scratching his hair.

"Finally!! Jungkookieee, its me. I am here, look at me." I said floating in front of him again and again.

I was so happy that atleast he noticed my presence but then.

"What??? Is this flat haunted?? Is Taehyung here? Aghhhhhh, Save meeee." I heard Jin hyung screaming while running out.

"Hyung stop, I am also coming.." Jimin shouted running behind Jin hyung.

"Really? Those stupids are scared of me? A innocent handsome young man like me. Ohh okay, I am a ghost now but does that matter?"

"Taetae, I miss you." I heard Jungkook saying before closing the main door.

"Jungkook-ah, dont goo." I sighed in defeat while walking to the kitchen to clean up the mess.

Its funny right? I cant touch people but can do all the chores. I can even wash dishes, you know?

The rest of my day went quiet boring as I was sleeping most of the time. People believe, if we become ghost, life would be easier but no, it becomes ten times harder. I struggle so much on daily basis.

I get cravings but I cant eat because I am a ghost with no much superpowers. Well, I wear vibrant colour clothes but it seems to be invisible to others. What kind of magic is that? Whenever I touch something it becomes invisible for others.
I was in my bed thinking of our good old days in college.

Ok, one more secret... I was not cruelly murdered or anything. I have no dark past..pfft. I died of blood cancer and hence I dont have to take any revenge on anyone.

And did I say, I love to sleep 24×7? Guess what, Taetae is going to sleep....

Good night...
