9|There's A Ghost

Hyunsuk entered their dorm room. Their classes had ended just minutes ago and since he wasn't a cleaner for today he arrived the dormitories early. He saw it was only Jihoon inside, he was fast asleep on his lower bunk bed. Junkyu and Jeongwoo were not here yet.

He walked over to Jihoon to check his temperature. Hyunsuk gently pressed a hand above Jihoon's forehead. His temperature still felt a bit too warmer than normal. Hyunsuk decided to also check his wound. He lifted up Jihoon's arm to see it was still wrapped neatly with a gauze. There was no bleeding so he didn't have to change the bandage yet. He thought of getting a wet cloth to put on Jihoon's forehead to help cool his temperature down.

He turned around to leave. Just as he was headed to the door, his foot stepped on something which created some noise. Hyunsuk looked down to see what it was. He was surprised to find it was the planchette from the Ouija board.

"How did this get here?" Hyunsuk asked in a whisper.

He crouched down and picked it up. Hyunsuk now held it in his hands, bewildered and slightly frightened with how it suddenly appeared here out of nowhere. He clearly remembered he left the planchette along with the board at their classroom the night they played it. Then it was nowhere to be seen the next day. Now here it is, appearing itself in their room like someone had deliberately put it here for him to find. But, when he entered he also clearly remembered the floor was clean. There was no clutter lying around. Hyunsuk carefully looked at certain areas in their room, expecting for something to appear or happen. He found nothing. He looked at the planchette again.

A few seconds later he heard coughing coming from Jihoon. Hyunsuk hid the planchette under Jeongwoo's bed. He was going to deal with it later. He was quickly right beside Jihoon who was now waking up.

"Hyunsuk?" Jihoon spoke in a hoarse voice. His eyes were squinted and kept fluttering open and close.

"Yeah, its me. How are you feeling?" Hyunsuk asked.

"Thirsty." Jihoon mumbled.

Hyunsuk went to one of the desks and picked up Jihoon's water jug that was filled with water. He unscrewed the cap and gave it to him.

"Here." Hyunsuk said.

"Thank you." Jihoon replied. He carefully sat up with Hyunsuk's help and then drank the water slowly. He gulped down half of it. "Where's Junkyu and Jeongwoo?" he asked with his voice sounding normal again.

"Not really sure. Last I saw them they were with Haruto at the library, I think." Hyunsuk shared.

Jihoon just nodded and finished drinking all of his water.

"You must be really thirsty." Hyunsuk said taking the now empty water jug.

"Well, I slept since yesterday, woke up at 6 am today only for Jeongwoo to tell me to keep resting. So I slept again and just woke up now again." Jihoon yawned and stretched his arms.

"You didn't eat anything?" Hyunsuk asked worried.

"No. Sorry. Slipped my mind since I just slept so much." Jihoon chuckled tiredly.

"Wait, here. I'll get you something to eat." Hyunsuk said and left the room.

On his way out he saw Junkyu, Jeongwoo and Haruto.

"Hyunsuk! Hi!" Junkyu greeted.

"Where are you going?" Jeongwoo asked.

"I'm gonna get something for Jihoon to eat." Hyunsuk replied.

"Oh! Jeongwoo! We forgot to bring him food for lunch! It's now dinnertime!" Junkyu gasped and slapped his friend by the arm.

"Well, he's now having lunchner instead." Jeongwoo joked.
