See you again. || haobin ff

Poke, poke, poke.

Zhanghao wakes up by an old man poking him with a stick. He slowly opens his eyes and feels the grass touching his skin. Even worse, the back pain definitely got to him since he slept on ground.

"Young man, you need to wake up! Why are you even here? Shouldn't you be at school now? Go on now!"

"What? School? I'm dead I don't need to go to that anymore."

"Stupid fuck. You are breathing and full of blood. How the fuck are you dead?"

Zhanghao looks at his hands, and starts touching his cheek. His eyes suddenly light up, and look back at the old man. Then checking his tombstone where it was located.

It's gone? Did they reverse his death? Did he go back in time?

"Sir what day is it if you don't mind me asking?"

"Tuesday, are you finally alive now?"

Zhanghaos eyes open wide, it's the still the same timeline. Confirming that he didn't go back in time, they reversed his death.

Zhanghao quickly gets up and runs away from the cemetery. He tries to recall Ricky's house, looking around he immediately remembers where he is located.

He stands in front of Ricky's house "Is this a good idea? I barely just got revived..." Zhanghao would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. Even he's doubting if this is good for Ricky's mental state since he's been really sad since zhanghaos death. But what if Ricky doesn't remember him?

He takes a deep breath one more time before he knocks. Hitting the door 3 times, waiting for the door to open. The door opens, being greeted by his mom. But despite meeting ricky's mom 139286097 times, she looks at him weird. Seems the universe made a couple of people forget Zhanghao.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Zhanghao, is Ricky there?"

"Zhanghao? Are you new to this neighborhood?"

"Uhhh yes!"

"Oh well welcome! I'll go get Ricky but he's been sad since yesterday. Something about a old bestfriend he had. But I think the friend is imaginary" She laughs at her own joke and tells Hao to wait while she goes and gets ricky.

"Hello...? Are you the person asking for me?-" Ricky looks up at Hao. He quickly covers his mouth and starts shaking his head. Now he's breathing heavy,
and crying.

"Ricky are you having a panic attack? Oh my god" Hao quickly hugs Ricky and looks at him again. He doesn't know what to do. When Hao was a ghost, he would watch over his friend Gyuvin help out Ricky when he has this kind of problem.

"Fuck, is Gyuvin here?"

"How how how do you know him?" Ricky repeating his words and just quickly nods his head. Zhanghao quickly goes inside taking Ricky into his own room. Assuming Gyuvin is there since he is always with ricky when he watched over as a ghost.

"Gyuvin? Hello is there a Gyuvin?" Zhanghao enters in the room and Gyuvin quickly pops his head up. Looking at Zhanghao and immediately gets up when he sees Ricky hyperventilating.

"What the fuck? Who are you? Did you do this to Ricky?" Gyuvin was quick to grab Ricky and hug him. But Ricky stopped him, trying to catch his breath.

"Please don't talk to Zhanghao like that."

"Zhanghao? I thought that was your imaginary friend who died?" Gyuvin looks suddenly confused, seems like Gyuvin also forgot about Zhanghao. They never met but he knew of him since he had to comfort Ricky all those times during his death anniversaries.

"Why is everyone saying your my imaginary friend all of a sudden? Everyone knew you. Everyone knows you died and then now everyone forgot about you. Why is that Hao? How are you even alive again? How how how how how? I can't believe this is real make it stop
make it stop." Ricky says while looking at Zhanghao and starts breathing heavy while crying again.

Zhanghao watches Ricky, he knew this was a bad idea to see ricky a day right after he come to his death anniversary. And then now he's alive again, this was also weird for Zhanghao as much as it was for Ricky. He can't help but feel guilty, he feels like a ghost again watching over as Gyuvin comforts Ricky as he's having his panic attack. After a good 10 minutes or 15 Ricky calms down and looks up at Zhanghao.

"Are you real?"

"I am real Ricky, i'm haohao."

"How are you- Is this some joke you pulled on all of us? Why were you gone for 3 fucking years? You thought this whole thing was funny? I'm not laughing Hao. I never thought this was funny. Did you know how bad I cried? What about hanbin? The person who lives for you Zhanghao. Everything he does is to honor you."

Zhanghao looks at Ricky, eyes filled with tears as he mentions Hanbin. This isn't what he wanted Ricky to think. He really did die, and he didn't know how he got here too.

"This isn't a joke. I did die, I was dead for those 3 years. You think I would've acted unalive as a fucking joke Ricky? You know better, I would never do that shit. Not even with Hanbin. You know how I was with him too. Always clinging onto him, it was like I couldn't survive without him. And when I died it wasn't even fucking better okay? I watch you guys be alive and have fun. I was just unseen because I was fucking dead. So no, it was never a joke."

Ricky looks at Zhanghao, seeing him fully alive again. He gives him a hug, a full one this time. And starts crying, he missed him.

"This better be real or i'll die myself too."

"It is real Ricky."

"Have you met your family or Hanbin yet?"

Silence comes from Zhanghao and Ricky pulls back
from the hug to look at him.

"You didn't? Are you serious? Don't you want to see them? Especially Hanbin? What about him? You can't be alive and not let Hanbin see you. What if you are only alive for a short amount of time? And what about Yujin? He always cried the hardest for you Zhanghao. You can't do that to them."

"Ricky, i'm scared. What would I tell them? What would I tell Hanbin? Despite me knowing him best, I don't even know how i'll show my face to him. And Yujin would probably hate me and think I died as a joke too. What if they forgot about me then you're the only person who remembered me?"

Ricky stays quiet for a bit. What he said is a scary possibility. Since Ricky's parents and Gyuvin already forgot he used to be a person. His tombstone was gone so there is no proof that he was even a dead person.

"How could you assume so quickly? What if it doesn't work on people who actually loved you?"

"I don't know, all I know is that i'm not ready for it."

"No one is ever ready Hao. You think I was ready to see you suddenly back from the dead?"

Ricky was right, he just suddenly pop up and accidentally made him have a panic attack. He knew that ricky would freak out but not that bad.

"Can I get sometime? I'm not used to be actually seen anymore so.."

"Yeah. You can stay here, i'll let you borrow some clothes too. But I have to go to university."

"That's fine ricky, thank you for letting me stay."
