Hyun Young POV.
I Woke Up To The Feel Of Someone Hugging Me, I Fluttered My Eyes Open And Realized That Hei-Ryung Unnie Was Hugging Me While Sitting On My Stomach. I Then Tapped Hei-Ryung Unnie's Shoulder And She Looked At Me Asking, "Sorry, Did I Wake You Up??" I Shook My Head Meaning No. Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Let Go Of Me But Still Stayed Sitting On My Stomach. She Then Said, "I Have A Question For You." I Nodded Meaning Go Ahead.
At The Beginning She Seemed Hesitant But Then She Asked, "You Know I Love You Right??" I Sighed And Said, "You Have Been Asking Me That Since Yesterday." Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Kissed My Forehead And Hugged Me So Tightly. I Then Asked, "What's Wrong, Unnie??"
Suddenly, I Felt Something Wet On The Crook Of My Neck, Hei-Ryung Unnie Is Crying??? That's New Information For Me. I Have Never Saw Her Cry Except For That One Time When She Said That She Liked Me. I Then Asked, "Unnie, Why Are You Crying??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Just Hugged Me Tighter And Kept Muffling Her Cries. I Couldn't Stand Seeing Her Like This So I Kissed Her. Hei-Ryung Unnie Kissed Me Back And Hugged Me Tighter By The Second.
Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Pulled Away And Just Hid Her Face In The Crook Of My Neck. I Then Asked, "What's Wrong Unnie??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Calmed Down And Said, "It's Nothing. I Was Just Scared That You Were Gonna Lose Your Faith In Me And Leave Me One Day." I Was Confused But As Soon As I Realized What She Said, I Broke Out In Laughter. Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Looked At Me In A Weird Type Of Way As Saying "Have She Gone Crazy??"
I Then Stopped Laughing And Said, "Unnie, I Would Never Do That." Hei-Ryung Unnie Looked At Me With Faith In Her Eyes, So I Smiled And Said, "Don't Worry, I Really Wouldn't Leave You For Someone Else." Hei-Ryung Unnie Nodded And Said, "Lend Me Your Hand For A Bit." I Did As She Said And She Held My Hand. She Then Told Me To Close My Eyes And I Did So. Moreover, I Felt Something Slide Into My Ring Finger So I Opened My Eyes And Saw A Ring Being Placed In My Ring Finger.
I Then Asked, "What Is This For??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Showed Me Her Right Hand And She Had The Same Ring. I Then Asked, "Another One?? We Already Have One." Hei-Ryung Unnie Nodded And Said, "Well, To Be Honest, This Is A Promise Ring." I Looked At Hei-Ryung Unnie With A Confused Expression On My Face And Asked, "What??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Just Giggled And Asked, "You Don't Know What A Promise Ring Is??"
I Shook My Head Meaning No. Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Said, "Well, A Promise Ring Is Basically Something That Couples Do. It Means I'll Never Leave You Nor Cheat On You Until We Get Married." I Nodded And Said, "Well, To Be Honest With You, I Feel Like My Parents Will Be Fine With You Marrying Me." Hei-Ryung Unnie Just Hugged Me And Said, "I Would Be More Than Glad To Marry You. I Don't Know About My Parents."
I Nodded And Said, "OK, Let Me First Wash Up And Then Come Back And We Will Continue Talking." Hei-Ryung Unnie Just Nodded In Response And Ruffled My Hair. She Then Let Go Of Me And I Gave Her A Peck Before Heading To The Bathroom. While I Was Showering, I Felt Something, More Like Someone, Touch My Thighs. I Just Hissed And Looked At My Surroundings, There Was No One. I Then Finished Showering, Brushing My Teeth And Washing My Face.
I Then Headed Back To The Bedroom And Changed Into My White Oversized Hoodie, Black Jeans Short And Black Ankle Socks. For The Hairstyle, I Wore My Hair Down. For The Makeup, I Applied Concealer, Mascara, Eyeliner, Blush And Lip Balm. I Then Laid Down Next To Hei-Ryung Unnie And Asked, "Did Gloria Entered The Bathroom While I Was Showering??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Just Pointed Beside The Bed And I Saw Gloria Sleeping Peacefully.
I Then Sighed And Hei-Ryung Unnie Seemed To Notice, So She Asked, "Well, What Happened While You Were Showering??" I Looked Down And Said, "I Felt Someone Touch My Thighs But When I Turned Around, There Was No One." Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Giggled And Asked, "Are You Sure You Are Not Imagining Things??" I Shook My Head Meaning No. I Then Said, "Why Don't You Go In And Try For Yourself??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Nodded And Entered The Bathroom.
*15 Minutes Later*
Hei-Ryung Unnie Came Out Of The Bathroom And Said, "Nothing Happened To Me. Maybe You Were Too Sleepy And You Were Just Imagining Things." I Then Looked Confused And Said To Myself, "I'm Sure I Felt Someone Touch My Thighs." Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Giggled And Said, "Let Me Dress Up And Then Let's Cuddle OK." I Nodded My Head In Agreement.
Suddenly, I Heard A Sound Coming From The Bathroom. I Then Turned To Hei-Ryung Unnie And Asked, "Did You Hear That??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Looked At Me Confused And Asked, "Hear What??" I Then Said, "Wait Unnie, I'm Going To The Bathroom For A Bit." Hei-Ryung Unnie Nodded Meaning Go Ahead. I Then Opened The Bathroom Door And Realized There Was A Dark Aura Around The Bathroom.
I Then Looked Around The Bathroom And Suddenly, I Saw A Girl Sitting On The Tub. I Got Startled To The Point That I Backed Up. I Then Looked At The Person But They Didn't Seem To Notice Me, So I Took A Step Forward And Then That Person Looked At Me And Smiled Widely, I Was Confuzzled. That Person Then Took A Step Towards Me And All Of A Sudden, Hugged Me Saying, "Lillian, I Missed You."
I Was So Confused And Shocked. Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Came In The Bathroom And Asked, "Hyunie, Wha- YA, GET AWAY FROM HYUNIE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER. NO ONE CAN TOUCH HYUNIE EXCEPT ME." I Was Shocked By What Hei-Ryung Unnie Said, But The Girl Simply Stated, "Well, It's Not Like She's Yours, She Is Mine Too." I Felt Like Hei-Ryung Unnie Was Gonna Lose Her Temper In Any Second And I Predicted That Right. She Was Chasing The Girl Around Just Because She Insulted Her.
I Was Just Chuckling At The View I Was Seeing. Suddenly, I Heard My Phone Ringing So I Went To The Room And Grabbed My Phone, I Checked The Caller ID And It Was Ivan. Why Is Ivan Calling Me?? Anyways, I Accepted The Call And Ivan Wasted No Time And Hurriedly Asked, "Hyunie, Did You Perhaps See A Ghost In Your Dorms??" I Replied With, "Yes. But I Don't Know Her Name Yet." Ivan Then Nodded And Said, "Well, She Was At My House Until I Told Her About You So She Went Searching For You. Guess She Found You."
I Chuckled And Said, "Yes She Did. What's Her Name??" Ivan Replied With, "Yejin." I Nodded In Response And Asked, "How Old Is She??" Ivan Then Asked, "How Old Do You Think She Is??" I Thought About It For A While And Replied With, "She Seems Like An 8 Years Old." Ivan Just Chuckled On The Other Line And He Said, "She Is 18 Years Old." I Then Gasped And Said, "No Way." Ivan Then Immediately Said, "Well, I'll Be Coming Soon To Pick Her. Bye, See You Later." Ivan Then Hung Up And I Went To The Bathroom To Talk To Yejin Unnie.
When I Saw Hei-Ryung Unnie Still Chasing Her, I Just Giggled Lightly. I Then Said, "Yejin Unnie, Come Here." Yejin Then Focused Her Attention On Me And Asked, "How Do You Know My Name??" I Replied With, "Oh, Ivan Told Me." She Then Frowned And I Asked, "Don't You Want To Go Back To Ivan??" Yejin Immediately Shook Her Head Meaning No. I Then Asked, "Why??" Hei-Ryung Unnie Then Came Up To Me And Said, "Maybe She Has Her Own Reasons."
I Then Looked At Yejin And Asked, "Wanna Talk About It??" Suddenly, Yejin Unnie Started Crying And I Asked, "What's Wrong??" She Then Said, "I Like Him But He Doesn't. No, I Love Him." I Then Looked At Yejin With Confusion On My Face And All Of A Sudden, I Heard A Voice From The Other Side Of The Room Saying, "What If I Like You Too?? Would You Come Back Home??" I Turned Around And Saw Ivan In Front Of Our Bedroom Door.
Yejin Then Hid Behind Me And I Looked At Ivan. Ivan Then Said, "Yejin, Come Here." Yejin Unnie Just Ignored Him. He Once Again Said, "Yejin, I Said Come Here." Wow, She Is So Unbelievable. She Is Completely Ignoring Him. Ivan Then Sighed And Asked, "Hyunie, Can I Talk To Her For A Bit??" I Nodded Meaning Go Ahead. The Only Problem Was That, Yejin Unnie Was Clutching So Hard On My Shirt. She Really Didn't Want To Let Go.
I Then Said, "Yejin, If You Talked It Out With Ivan, I'll Take You Out On A Date One Day OK." Yejin Looked At Me With Hope In Her Eyes And I Ruffled Her Hair Saying, "Go Ahead. Talk It Out With Your Big Brother." Hei-Ryung Unnie And I Then Left Our Shared Room And We Let Ivan And Yejin Stay There.
Ivan POV.
Hei-Ryung And Hyunie Eventually Left The Room And I Stayed There With Yejin. Yejin Is The Type Of Person Who Keeps Her Feelings Bottled Up, It's Not Easy To Get Her To Open Up To You. Yet, She Opened Up Easily To Hyunie. I Guess It's Because I Told Her Hyunie Is A Friend Of Mine. When I Realized That We Have Been In This Room For 5 Minutes, I Sighed And Said, "Yejin-ah." Yejin Just Hummed In Response. I Then Asked, "Are You Mad At Me??"
Yejin Shook Her Head. I Then Asked, "Then, What's Wrong??" Yejin Then Looked Down At Her Feet And Said, "It's Just That I Li- Forget It, It's Nothing." I Then Looked At Yejin And Engulfed Her In A Hug Saying, "I Love You Too, Yejin. No Need To Say Anything More." Yejin Was A Blushing Mess. She Then Hugged Me Back And We Stayed In That Position For Approximately 2 Minutes.
Well, It Was Really Hard For Me To Get Yejin To Open Up To Me. I First Found Her Hurt And Collapsed Near The Woods So I Decided To Take Her Back Home And Help Her. At The Beginning, She Would Never Talk To Me. But As Time Went By, She Started Sleeping Next To Me, Sharing Stories With Me, Telling Me How She Died *Yes, She Is A Ghost*, etc. However, The Most Hard Part Was To Get Her To Like Me And Open Up To Me. So You Could Say, I Succeeded On That.
Yejin Then Looked At Me And I Cupped Her Cheeks Asking, "Is It OK??" Yejin Just Blushed But Nonetheless, Nodded. I Then Kissed Yejin And She Kissed Me Back. We Stayed Like That For The Next 3 Minutes Before She Pulled Away. I Then Hold Out My Hand To Yejin And Said, "Let's Go." Yejin Just Grabbed My Hand In Response And We Walked Out Of The Room.
Hyun Young POV.
I Saw Ivan And Yejin Coming Out Of, JinMin Unnie, Hei-Ryung Unnie And I's Shared Room. I Then Went Up To Ivan And Asked, "Everything OK Now??" He Smiled And Nodded. I Then Looked At Yejin And Said, "You Can Come Visit Anytime OK. You Can Also Have A Ghost Friend Just Like I Do." Yejin Looked At Me Confused And I Said, "Oh Right, I Didn't Introduce You To Gloria. I'm So Sorry." I Then Excused Myself And Headed To My Room.
I Looked Beside The Bed And Saw Gloria Wide Awake And Staring At Me. I Was Startled But Nonetheless Just Smiled At Her. Gloria Then Asked, "What Is It??" I Replied With, "I Want To Introduce You To Someone." Gloria Looked At Me With Confusion Written All Over Her Face But Nonetheless, She Got Up And Followed Me. I Headed Downstairs And I Went Up To Ivan And Yejin Saying, "Yejin, This Is Gloria. Gloria, This Is Yejin."
Gloria Then Held Out Her Hand To Yejin But Yejin Just Ignored Her. Gloria Then Huffed And Ivan Laughed Saying, "It's Not Easy To Get Her To Open Up To You. You Should Stay With Her For At Least 3 Weeks For Her To Trust You Enough And Also, You Need TO Share Your Biggest Secret With Her. It Took Approximately 2 Months For Her To Open Up To Me. But As To Hyunie, She Saw Her Today And She Immediately Loved Her."
I Smiled And Gloria Then Said, "Well, It's Just That I Have To Gain Her Trust." Ivan Nodded. Yejin Then Looked At Gloria But When Gloria Looked At Her, She Immediately Turned Her Face As If She Wasn't Staring At Her. Anyways, Yejin And Ivan Then Bid Us Goodbye And Left. I Then Went Up To Hei-Ryung Unnie And She Was Sitting On The Couch, Watching Movies. I Then Sat Down Next To Her And She Cuddled Me.
