HAESUNG POV
The lunch bell rang.
I stood up from my seat and took out my lunch from my bag.
"Hey new girl! Wanna go eat with us?" A girl asked happily
................
"I'm fine thank you. Also, I have a name" I said walking passed her
"O-Oh.. mian.." The girl said
"Kwenchana. I'm Park Haesung. Nice to meet you" I said then walked out of the classroom
....I seriously hate human interaction..
Why do they even bother asking things like that?
What's the point?
They're all gonna hate me anyways... Like everyone else at my previous school..
I walked to the cafeteria and sat down at an empty table.
I bit my sandwich and chewed..
Life is so boring..
I turned to my left and saw someone next to me.
Oh god, it's a human..
I felt goosebumps all over my body..
Wait a minute..
"Annyeonghaseyo" I said
"You can see me?" The girl asked
Oh.. I see. Not a human. How lucky.
"Neh" I said chewing my sandwich
"I see.. Umm, can I ask you to do something for me?" The girl asked
"What is it?" I asked
"U-Umm... Ahn Seorin.. my sister. The girl that talked to you in class before.." The girl said
"Ohh.. her. What about her?-Wait... Sister?" I asked
"Neh.. I'm her younger sister. Two weeks ago, I rushed to give my sister her lunchbox. On the way to her school, there was a construction site and... one of the ropes were loose so.. The steel poles dropped and.." The girl said
I choked on my sandwich.
"I-It landed on you?!" I exclaimed
The cafeteria became quiter than before...
"U-Um.. you're too loud! People are starin-" The girl said
"Does it look like I care if people are staring? Keep talking! I wanna hear the rest" I said snacking on my sandwich once again
"O-Oh. Okay.. So... In the end, I got transported to the hospital and lost many of my limbs and had a concussion. A day after, I passed away" The girl said
"I see.. So. Does your sister feel responsible for your death?" I asked
"Neh.. She's been grieving ever since" The girl said
"She looks perfectly normal to me" I said
"Well.. She's like that. She doesn't like it when her friends or others worry about her" The girl said
"Hmm.. Okay. So, what do you want me to do?" I asked
"Give me this please..." The girl said handing me a lunch box
"Is this.. your lunchbox you made?" I asked
I'm surprised she happened to keep a living object..
Oh yeah right. Ghosts can touch physical things..
"Give it to her please. Say it was from me. It has a letter in it" The girl said
"Alright. I'll give it later" I said
"Kamsamnida. Really.. Kamsamnida" The girl cried
"Go and pass on already. I promise I'll give it to her" I said
"Arasso" The girl said then started to fade
I stood up from my seat and walked through the hallway.
I don't know where that Ahn Seorin girl is but at least I can put it in her lockers.
I walked to the locker rooms.
"Oh! Umm.. H-Haesung!"
I turned around.
"Oh. Ahn Seorin" I said
"What are you doing here? Getting something from your lockers aswell?" Seorin asked
"Aswell?" I questioned
"Y-Yeah.. I forgot my wristband" Seorin said opening her lockers
Wristbands huh... Is that a thing now?
"Oh? You didn't eat your lunch?" Seorin asked as she pointed to the lunchbox in my hands
Oh right. Whoops, nearly forgot.
"This is for you" I said
"Eh? A lunchbox for me??" Seorin asked
"I didn't make it. Believe it or not but this lunch was made two weeks ago" I said
"Ahah.. Two weeks ago huh.." Seorin said
"By your sister" I said
Seorin paused.
"Mwoh? Soomi?" Seorin asked
"She told me she wanted to give this two you before she passed on. She left a letter in it if you don't believe me" I said
Seorin opened the box and read the letter.
[Here you go Unnie! Sorry for not giving it to you two weeks ago. The lunch probably tastes a bit.. old but it's still edible! Hehe. Enjoy Unnie and Goodbye. I have to go now. I love you - Ahn Soomi]
Seorin gasped, clenching onto the letter
Tears dropped down onto the lunchbox
"T-This is.. Soomi's writing" Seorin cried
Ahn Soomi's her name huh?
Nice to know. I can visit her grave then.. probably.
Wait. Where's her grave?
"Excuse me? How did you get this lunchbox?" Seorin asked
Hmm... The nearest cemetery is...
Aish.. I don't know..
"U-Umm Haesung--" Seorin asked
"Can I visit your sister's grave sometimes?" I asked
"Eh? Oh.. S-Sure but--" Seorin asked
"Kamsamnida. Annyeong" I said then walked away
"W-Wait!!" Seorin asked as she grabbed her arm
"What?" I asked
"Why don't.. you hang out with me now? I would like to know you Haesung.. Also, I want to know... how you got this lunchbox" Seorin said
Here we go again..
"Nothing good will come by being friends. Especially with me. You can find someone else" I said
"H-How come?" Seorin said
"Then let me ask you a question" I said
"A-Alright" Seorin said
*****
I walked through the park..
I sighed.
FLASHBACK
"Would you believe me if I become your friend?" I asked
"O-Of course!" Seorin said
"Then what if I said I met your sister at the cafeteria? What if I said I saw her next to you from the beginning? What if I said I could see the dead?" I asked
"M-Mwoh.. Stop joking around! I-I'm serious about being friends with you" Seorin said
"And I'm serious about my questions. If you can't answer that, we can't be friends" I said then walked off
END OF FLASHBACK
Liars..
They're all liars.
Saying they'll believe me then in the end, they chicken out..
Everyone's like that.
They always leave you in the end. And I Hate That.
I heard a beautiful sound..
This sound..
A Flute?
I walked faster, following the sound..
This sound..
Why does it sound so calming.. and familiar?
I saw a beautiful cherry blossom tree...
And underneath it, a boy playing the flute..
I walked towards him as I continued listening to the music.
The boy stopped then stared at me..
"Why did you stop?" I asked
The boy still stared at me..
He looked shocked..
"Umm.. Excuse me?" I asked
"M-Mian. I got distracted.." The boy said
???
His clothing..
That uniform.. Looks familiar..
O.o
Where have I seen it?
The boy put away his flute in a case.
"Y-Yah! Why aren't you playing anymore?" I asked
"Why? Because it's horrible of course" The boy chuckled
"...No it isn't. It's beautiful" I said
The boy stared at me once again.
Suddenly, tears started dripping from his eyes...
O.O
Ermmm...
"U-Umm... K-Kwenchana?" I asked
The boy wiped his tears and smiled.
He's weird..
"Do you like the song I played?" The boy asked
I guess it's not that bad..
"Neh. Can you please play it again?" I asked
"Okay! I'll play it again for you!" The boy smiled
He picked up his case and started walking off.
Wait what?
"Yah! Where are you going?" I asked
"Home" The boy said
"But aren't you gonna play it again?" I asked
"Tomorrow! I promise you that" The boy said
Tomorrow...
I sighed..
But that song..
I'm not exactly sure..
But I'm positive..
That I've Heard It Before
I held my head..
"Aish.. can't remember a thing.." I said
Maybe I should go home and sleep
