The Princess and The Ghost [COMPLETED]

Chapter 27

                Sohyun stood straight and looked to the item she was holding. She sighed. "What am I going to do with this?" It was Daehyun's shoe.

-Flashback-

Youngjae held the shoe that Sohyun just threw to him. He held it to her.

"You said you want to give this to him. It's better that you gave this to him yourself"

Sohyun received the shoe and looked to Youngjae. She nodded. "I will"

-End of flashback-

"Right. I promised to give it myself" she sighed. Sohyun grabbed her cardigan and walked downstairs. "Omma, I'm going out for a while"

"Alright be careful" Mrs. Yoon who was at the yard replied. Sohyun wore her sandals and walked out the house.

She turned to the corner. She looked up to the playground that she used to go when she was little. She smiled alone. *It had been years since I play here* Her phone rang. "Who's this?" She looked at the unknown number displayed on the screen. She shrugged it off and answered it.

"Hello?" "Sohyun-ah"

Her eyes widened. *Daehyun!*

"I have a question for you" he was panting. Sohyun heard footsteps ahead of her. She turned around. Her eyes widened. Daehyun was standing there with a smirk.

"Can I call you from the stage after this?"

"Daehyun-ah" she called, still disbelieve. They kept their phone away. He approached her.

"I'm sorry" he voiced. "For being so harsh on you. For forgetting you. I'm such a jerk, am I?"

Sohyun was too shock she couldn't respond to him. She stared at him for a few moments. Before fell on the floor. Sohyun squatted with her face buried on her knees. Her shoulder jolted as she sobbed hard.

"Yah" Daehyun panicked. He squatted before her and held her shoulder. He looked around, to find anything that could help cheer her up but failed. "Sohyun-ah, don't cry"

Sohyun lifted her head and he could see her crying face. That made him burst into laughter.

"Daehyun" she whined and continued to cry. "Sorry sorry" he voiced between his laugh. "You look so ugly when you cry"

"There you go mocking me again" "Okay okay" he stopped laughing and cleared his throat. "Don't cry, okay?"

"How can I not cry when you forget me and treat me like a stranger when I finally like you? Then you suddenly come to me and finally remembers me? I'm trying to move on from you" she buried her face in her knees again. "Yah, you dare trying to move on from me" he blew raspberry. "Stop trying to move on from me. I'm here, okay? I'm not letting you move on from me ever again"

Sohyun looked to him. Daehyun smiled to hold his laugh. He wiped her tears. "Don't cry, okay?"

Sohyun pouted and looked away. Her hand held his hand, that made his eyes widened. "I'm just happy that you can touch everything you want. You're not a lost soul anymore. You're you again. Just like you want"

He smiled. Daehyun pulled her to stand. "And I'm happy to meet you again in my physical body, just like I want it to be"

They exchanged smiles.

"Ah, I almost forgot" Sohyun held the shoe to him. "Here you go, Cinderella"

Daehyun chuckled and took it. "So you are on your way to meet me? Aren't you afraid of getting treat badly by me?"

"No. Why should I?" she rolled her eyes. "I was about to throw it far away so I can forget you"

"Yah, don't do that!" he gave the shoe to her again. "Keep it. If that's the only way to make you remember me"

"I'm kidding. No way I could forget you, Daehyun" she gave the shoe again. She smiled to him. "I will never forget you, Daehyun"

Daehyun stepped closer to her. He entwined their hands and looked deep into her eyes. Sohyun could hear his heart beat and the heat from his body. She smiled. "It's my first time hearing your heart beat when we're close together" "Tsk" he smirked. "A ghost doesn't have a beating heart, silly"

Sohyun suddenly took her hand off his grip. His eyes widened as she wrapped her arms around him. "I really love it" she voiced. "Listening to your heart beat, feeling your body warm. It feels so real. Not like in my dream" He smiled. "Yea" his arms wrapped around her.

"Sohyun-ah, thank you. For everything" he said. "Thank you too" she replied with a smile. "For remembering me"
