Can You See Me?

Jisoo Kim

"That's Jisoo Kim."

Rosie doesn't move her eyes from what Lisa points at. She needs to admit though that the girl isn't bad looking. The way her hand removes her black sunglasses from her face to the collar of her black shirt before it moves to the pants of her black jeans (which ripped in some part a little) to take out her phone. The way her other hand moves to her brown hair as her brown eyes locked to her phone screen.

Well, isn't bad looking is an understatement.

"Doesn't she feel hot wearing all black in bright day like this?"

Lisa laughs at that question. "This park has a lot of trees so maybe they help. It's also already evening so it isn't really hot and, come on, go talk to her."

"Any advice how to do that?" Rosie asks as she leans on one of the trees with eyes that keep locked to this Jisoo. "I mean, I can't just go straight to her and say, 'Hello, my name is Rosie Park and a ghost asked me to find her a gold locket. Can you help me?'"

The ghost laughs again at that. "Do you want to try to do that?"

"Are you crazy? She'll think I'm nuts."

Lisa laughs a little more before she says, "Well, there are a few things you need to know when you talk to Jisoo." Rosie shifts her focus to the ghost who continues, "First is don't be nervous. Just be confidence at whatever you do." Rosie nods. That's easy, she can do that. "Second, don't blabber. Soo doesn't like a person that talk too much." Soo? This ghost calls that girl with a nickname now? Nonetheless, she lets Lisa continues, "And the last one is believe in luck."

The last statement makes Rosie gives the ghost a weird look. The latter simply gives the girl a grin and talks again, "Trust me, you're going to need it. Now, come on, go. It's your call."

The human one from those two heaves a sigh before she begins to walk away from where they stand. After a few steps away she realizes she walks alone so Rosie expectantly looks back at Lisa who still doesn't move from her position. Their eyes meet for a minute until the ghost finally answers the girl wordless question, "I can't come."

Rosie's eyebrow rose as she asks (verbally now), "Why? She can't see you anyway."

The tall ghost simply gives her a smile. "I just can't."

Their eyes meet for another moment until Rosie's sure this ghost won't change her mind. The girl lets out another sigh and turns around, seeing the Jisoo who's still busy with her phone while sits on one of the bench. Rosie takes a deep breath. Well, she just needs to talk to this Jisoo, asks her to help find a locket, find that locket, and it's all over. Simple enough.

Rosie takes another breath and begins to walk to the brown haired girl. What should she say though? Before her brain is able to answer that question, her feet already take her to the other girl. Jisoo immediately looks up to the newcomer.

"Uh, is the seat beside you empty?"

Jisoo simply lets out a small nod and Rosie quickly accepts that offer. And for a while it's just them, Jisoo and Rosie sitting on a bench in this side of the park. Well, when Rosie says 'it's just them', she's sure doesn't count an old man with his cane that leans back on the same bench behind them and a ghost cat that's looking for something in trash can near them. Rosie knows it can't be helped though. Ghosts are everywhere and leaves unseen by a lot of people yet seen by her. These two aren't the only ghosts Rosie sees in this park but she's not in the mood to pay attention to them one by one.

Rosie glances to the girl beside her who's still busy with her phone and it's only now that her eyes catch a sight of a sketchbook beside Jisoo. "Were you sketching?"
