Present time

After landing in the middle of a city, Taehyun stood up and looked at his surroundings. How was he back in Seoul? It was also new to him after being able to see the huge sinkhole in person.

"Excuse me, do you know how to get to Asan Medical Center from here?" Taehyun asked a family that had walked past him. They just ignored him and acted like his presence wasn't there at all.

"Wha- hey! Excuse me!" He called out, but no one helped him. Was something wrong with his appearance? He thought he didn't look too bad in his clothes. It was a tie dye pastel sweater with jeans, what was so wrong with that?

He continued walking around, asking people as to how to get to the hospital he was trying to get to, but everyone just ignored him. As he ran around, he bumped into a girl, causing the both of them to fall over.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry!" He said as he stood up, "Let me help you up-"

The girl just stood up on her own and walked off with her friend, as always, ignoring Taehyun.

"How clumsy can you be, Sooyoung?! How do you manage to fall just like that?" Her friend said.

"I don't even know at this point. It felt like I bumped into someone, but no one was there." Sooyoung said back, "But anyways no time to waste! We have to get to the medical center!"

The two girls ran off and Taehyun just stood there in shock. Why couldn't anyone see him? We're they all just choosing not to?

"Why can't they see me..?"

"Because you're dead, dumbass." Olivia said from behind him.

"Wha- HEY! I thought they would've been able to see me since you said I could come back to Earth." Taehyun said with a frown.

"Yeah, as a ghost! Do you not listen?!"

Olivia sighed from frustration and Taehyun sighed from exhaustion. Both were fed up already and they haven't even done anything.

"Keep going forward and then turn right when you see Gwangnam High School. Wait there for the bus and it'll take you the hospital." Olivia finally said.

"But don't I need to tell the driver to take me there? No one can see me! How will that work?"

"Those two girls you just bumped into? They're going there as well. Now hurry before you miss the bus!"

Taehyun nodded and ran forward, making his way to the high school. It's been a while since he's been to Gwangnam High School. If only he could look inside, but there isn't much time to waste. So he ran as fast as he could, bumping people over on the way.

HeeJin, Yeonjun, and Kai all sat in the hospital room, apparently waiting for three people to show up.

"God, where are they?!" HeeJin said, tapping her foot. It was clear she was getting impatient very quickly. And with how long these people were taking, the two boys were also getting impatient.

After a few minutes, two girls opened the door, panting as if they just ran a marathon. Jungkook was behind them, giving HeeJin a look that screamed 'these two are a handful'

"S-Sorry we're late," said a girl with brown hair, "We got lost and couldn't find Jungkook."

"And then the elevator took too long so we ran up the stairs." said a blonde.

HeeJin just rolled her eyes and stood up, "Alrighty. These are the two friends that would help us. Introduce yourselves!"

"Hello! I'm Park Chaewon! You can just call me Go Won, it's preferred." said the blonde girl with a smile.

"And I am Ha Sooyoung. Just call me Yves." the brown haired girl said.

As soon as she said that, Kai's eyes widen and he started screaming, but immediately put his hands over his mouth.

"Is something wrong?" HeeJin asked.

Kai shook his head and looked at Sooyoung in fear, though his eyes gave an apologetic look. As if something bad was about to happen.

"Sooyoung, was it?" Yeonjun asked, glaring towards the girl.

"Uh..yeah? Is there something wrong?"

Yeonjun stood up from his chair and started walking towards the girl. Kai grabbed his wrist in an attempt to stop him from doing anything stupid, but his attempts failed.

"W-Wait! Yeonjun please don't do anything stupid, let me explain!" Kai called out to him, but he was ignored.

Yeonjun grabbed Sooyoung by the collar of her shirt, which started choking her.

"So you're the one that tried to kill Kai?!" Yeonjun yelled at her.

"What? No! Why the hell would I do that? Who even is Kai?" Sooyoung said with confusion in her voice.

"Don't play dumb. At Soobin's house, you nearly killed him!"

"WHO IS SOOBIN?!"

"STOP PLAYING DUMB!"

Before Yeonjun could continue yelling at the girl, the door to the hospital room opened, but no one was there.

"Wha- one of you idiots close the door!" HeeJin said.

Jungkook sighed and went to close the door, but it wouldn't close. It felt like someone was trying to push it open, but no one was there.

"Alright, it's jammed." Jungkook said.

The door closed after he said that, and all of them got a weird feeling. Like a different presence was in the room.

"Why the hell is everyone staring at me?" Taehyun said to himself.
