HAUNTED BY THE GHOST OF YOU [NI-KI] | [니키] | [2]

15- Sweet guy or a heartless one?

"I-"

I tried to answer to the truth about Riki that he just told me but i couldn't. I knew that if i said more, my voice would go into even more shaky one.

"Stop crying Nara" Sunghoon said with cold yet comforting voice while i sobbed.

He started searching for something in his pocket and i was suprised to see him handing me a handkerchief. I took it from him without hesitation. I wiped my tears away.

"Thank you" i said to him.

We were still beside the road where Sunghoon parked before telling me everything.

"Do you want to search for him?" Sunghoon turned to me fully to see my answer since he thought i wouldn't want to speak and he was right.

I just nodded while glazing at Sunghoon's quite suprised face. Not everyone would wanna see the boy that lied to them about everything in the past for a better future but our situation was a bit different.

I still wanted to search for him until i find him.

When Sunghoon started the engine and continued driving to Riki's place i was praying. Praying that he'll be okay.

I couldn't process anything at the moment. I couldn't even tell what i was feeling. Was it fear or anger? Or was it disappointment because he lied to me?

After a few minute drive Sunghoon finally turned off the main road. I saw a cottage that was still quite expensive looking.

"Oh so that's his resting place?" I thought when a smile grew on my face. Even though he sounded like the heartless mafia boy he seemed like a nice guy.

I was telling myself that he lied to me for a reason. Maybe he didn't wanted to hurt me.

When i finally stood up outside from my seat i was glazing at the gorgeous looking front yard and a small building further away.

"Wait for me!" Sunghoon shouted from behind me when i ran to the gate. I turned to look at him as soon as i reached it and waited for him to get here too.

When Sunghoon stood beside me, he started searching on his key chain for a key.

"You have a key from it?"i asked curiously

"It was our place a few years ago and i sometimes go here for a visit" he sounded really excited to tell me about it and i saw a soft smile on his lips. I could tell that even through their arguments they were inseparable.

When he unlocket the gate, i found myself walking through the tiles that were leading to the door.

Sunghoon was right behind me, everytime i turned back i could see him admiring the bushes and trees that has grown since his last visits.

When i stood infront of the door i had to wait for Sunghoon again. He stopped by one blue flower that was growing there all alone.

"Why is there only one flower?" I asked him, confused by the fact that Riki is watering and taking care of one single flower.

"A few years ago, me and Riki planted it here and since then this flower is growing in bright colors every single day" he said with an oddly soft tone.

The evil that i thought was in him disappeared once he talked about the past.

I snapped to reality and stopped admiring the garden. I knocked on the door loudly.

"Riki!?" I yelled out loud with no response

"Wait" Sunghoon ran up to me, unlocking the front door.
When we were finally inside i started shouting  his name again with Sunghoon following me.

"RIKI?" He shouted out. If he was here he would have already heard it.

I started stressing out again. I was worrying about Riki all over again. I started running up to every door, opening it searching for Riki in every room that i found.

He was nowhere to be found.
