Cries In the dark 2/2

Seungmin x Felix (+Jisung)

(I quickly proofread this, but there might still be errors because i miss things often)

Contents: slightly weird Jisung, ghost, minor discussion about death and things related to death, discussion about abuse and violence,
discussion of depression, anxiety, starving (maybe a slight reference to an eating disorder)
Mentions of crossing over to another world/dimension/ whatever

AN: Don't be mean if you don't believe in ghosts. This is fiction and i don't want negativity here :) <3

"Let's start over. I am Kim Seungmin. 25 years old."

A silence fell over the two.
If Seungmin was asked weeks ago, what he thought he would do in his new apartment, his first thought definitely would not have been to talk to a damn ghost.

The weird boy was holding out his hand for Seungmin to shake.
Wouldn't it just go through his own?
Felix is a ghost after all. Surely his hand wouldn't be like a living person's would.
If we are being honest, Seungmin was never a ghost person. He had always denied the existence of ghosts and now there was a ghost right in front of him. In his very own apartment.

"What would you like to know?"
"Well first of all why this apartment out of all of these?"
This was Felix's first time talking to a living person after his death in 2018. None of the previous renters had seen him like this, not him looking like a human. They had all left before even trying to figure out the source of the scary sounds.

"I died here." The blonde figured Seungmin would frantically start running around the apartment, cleaning his things into boxes and move out, but no. He sat there on his armchair with his face not moving an inch.
"Did you hear me?"
"I did, perfectly fine. Does that mean that you're like stuck?"  Seungmin was questioning his whole existence.
Seeing the nod Felix made was enough of an answer to Seungmin who was still doubtful of everything.

Felix raised his brow confusedly, "are you not bothered by it?", he asked the man who didn't seem scared or bothered by the newly found fact, not one bit.
"No. Why would I be?"
"Well I died here and I'm a damn ghost. Usually people would be scared or disgusted, no?"
The tenant just chuckled, maybe a bit more psychotically than he originally was supposed to, "People die everyday Felix. They die everywhere and you happened to die here. I'm not bothered."

Seungmin wasn't at all bothered by the fact that Felix had died in the apartment. In fact he was more bothered that he'd died so young and how he had died was a question that lingered in his mind.
He however wasn't interested in asking such a thing now, figuring it would be insensitive. Maybe once they have gotten to know each other more.

"Do your friends come around often?"
Felix questioned, hoping to make friends for himself.
I mean if he's stuck in this apartment, might as well befriend the tenant and his besties right?
"They come whenever really. Why? Want new friends?"
Without even trying to hide it, Felix quickly stated that he would indeed like some friends.
After all he'd been technically alone for eight years if Jisung isn't counted.

The neighbor came around every now and then when the apartment was empty from tenants. Every time someone moved in, he couldn't really visit his dead best friend since it was pretty much illegal to kind of break into someone's home. That was during every other tenant except Seungmin.

Jisung would watch when Seungmin was leaving, make sure the man was really gone and then dig out his spare key and go to the neighbor's door.
He would then open it and just step inside, never walked further in though out of pure respect.
