Hee-Min x Daria

Hee-Min was wandering the school searching for the girls he had met that day.

His eyes then land on the slightly cracked open doors of the art room. Hee-min hesitates but enters nonetheless, his lighter being the only light in the dark room.

The usually colorful and creative room looked strangely eerie as of now but didn't give the bad vibes the other rooms he had been in did.

As he wanders the art he nearly trips on a book that was on the floor.

Hee-min quickly looks down curious on what nearly made him fall.

He hesitantly picks up the sketchbook and opens it, inside he finds drawn pictures of the previous ghosts and a bit of backstories on them.

Hee-min slowly tilts his head up upon hearing the sound of the cup holder full of coloring pencils shake and drop to the floor.

He draws his eyes away from the beautifully drawn before and after pictures of the ghosts and some of just normal students, in order to figure out where the sound came from.

He walks over to the cup and coloring pencils strewn across the floor with no fear.

After the things he'd witnessed that night, he couldn't bring himself to be afraid.

He hears a quiet sniff from behind him and immediately turns around and is met with a cute ghost girl.

Compared to the previous ghosts she didn't look dead on first glance, although the more he observed her he took notice of the fully white eyes, and the red stain where her heart was.

Hee-min watches the ghost girl hug herself as she shies away from him.

Realizing he was staring at her he looks down awkwardly.

Neither say a word, both curious on the other.


* "Is this your sketchbook?"

* "So, how'd you die then?"


"So, how'd you die then?"

The ghost girl flinches hugging herself tighter, her face gradually getting darker as brief flashes of her bullies torment go through her mind sending her over the edge. 

She had died of heartbreak, her bullies had found out she liked a boy convinced him to confess to her only to later reveal it was a prank and he actually found her to be a weirdo. Then to add to the stress of life going to shit no thanks to her bullies and her ex-crush spreading rumors about her.

All everyone knows is that one day she just collapsed holding her sketchbook, her only friend other then the ghosts of the school.

Before Hee-min could blink he found himself being thrown out the window by an invisible force as Daria cried out colorful tears streaming down her cheeks. 

(Game Over)


"Is this your sketchbook?"

The ghost girl gives a small shy nod, Hee-Min closes her sketchbook and hands it to her.

"Your drawings... their really good." Hee-min says hesitantly as she takes it from his hands.

"T-thank you..." The ghost girls says giving him a small smile.

Hee-min returns it before hearing Seong-A call out to him from the halls.

"Y-you should be careful... not all people are as they seem..." The Ghost Girl says hugging her sketchbook before looking down at it sadly.

Hee-min tilts his head to the side in confusion.

"H-h-here!" The Ghost Girl said unintentionally slamming her sketchbook into his chest taking his breath away for a second.

"S-s-s-s-s-s-" The Ghost Girl stutters holding her head, Hee-min feeling bad for her, places a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"S-sorry. I want you to have it, maybe you can have b-b-better luck with saving everyone w-w-with it." The Ghost Girl told him turning away from him hugging herself.

Hee-Min looks at the Sketchbook before giving her a gentle smile.

"G-g-good l-luck." The Ghost girl told him before beginning to fade away but before she could Hee-Min placed a hand on her shoulder.


*"Who are you exactly?"

* "Is it alright if I visit you during lunch?"


"Who are you exactly?"

"I-I-I'm no one important. I just observe from the shadows..." The ghost girl says before fading away silently.

Hee-min hears his name begin called by Seong-A and rushes out the classroom deciding not to keep her waiting.


"Is it alright if I visit you during lunch?" 

The ghost girl blushes, "Y-y-you want to see me again? I-I-I mean, I-If you want. I-I'll be here."

Hee-Min smiles as she begins turning a relaxing pink that gives a beautiful warm pink glow to the art room.

"See you tomorrow at lunch then." Hee-Min says walking out the room with a small wave and smile.


As he walks out the room and meets with So-Young and Seong-A, he looks down at the sketchbook and sees the name written on the front.

Daria

He would be sure to remember that name when he visited her tomorrow at lunch.
