❝BELOVED GHOST❞ //Ranboo ✔️

PIPER'S POV

I wish i could say this halloween was normal, because it definitely wasn't. I liked being next to Ranboo, but it was scary seeing what we experienced and i think it's totally rational the feeling of fear i've developed against hospitals to anyone who knows our story.

We left the hotel the next day and went back to Raven's place to change clothes for something that wasn't blood splattered and suspicious. We really had to do a lot of explaining to them and Jasper, they both believed us thankfully and promised to not tell anything to any living soul about it.

"Hello!" I got home, November 1st, I was received by Lisa, then my parents. It was an actual relieve to see them, it felt like ages the night before, but honestly the comfort James gave me helped me through it and the fact that I broke into tears as I saw Peter made me realize the mistake of not listening to him.

Ranboo and I used to hang out by ourselves more often than when we hung out with Rae and Jasper, we had a bond and it was honestly the best thing ever to just waste our time together, vibing to music or just watching the sunset as our last years of teenage life went away.

I told him I loved him several times, and we were comfortable enough to let soft kiss on each other and hugs and cuddles to show love from time to time, but just hanging out was the best way were could show our love and sweetness. He was my everything then, and he's still now.

Senior year. I wished High School didn't end so soon, but at just 2 months away from graduating, I was scared, scared of not seeing my friends again, scared of being alone. 

The 4 of us graduated together and so we still spoke, but as time went on, we weren't as close as we were during that halloween time. Raven had a girlfriend, I was happy for them, but they went with her far away across the country and I couldn't see them that much anymore, Rae wasn't there anymore. I can't quite remember Jasper after the age of 18, he was happy but lonely sometimes, he liked to play guitar and stare at the stars on the rooftop for hours on end until early in the morning, then read all day and call it studying despite not remembering a single word from each book. 

James, or well, Ranboo, became an internet figure, i watch him everyday and time I can, but we aren't so in touch. We still talk and video call, but he's busy and I'm back in Korea for a few years, my parents insisted on me studying a nice career around here, but i still don't know what to do. 

The last time I saw James, he was wearing his mask as usual and the jacket he wore on halloween to the hospital, I wore his hoodie. It was in the airport as he said goodbye to me, not knowing we weren't going to see each other in years. I hugged him tightly and he did back, we didn't kiss, we didn't need to kiss tough "I love you" i can still hear him saying those words, but this time it felt different, more loving and thoughtful than before, more him. I loved him.

He always tells me when he's going to stream before he does, so an early notification from him gets to my phone next to the smiley face he typed, and he was right, smiley faces make everything better.

Everything comes and goes. Even him, my dearest, darling, beloved ghost.
