Bring it on.

I had this special talent, a super power, hmmm well kind of. However, I wasn't very fond of it.

I can see ghosts and touch them. Yeah, hard to believe but it's true. It's nothing fancy and to be honest it's kind of a burden for me. They say it runs on our family, genetic or something but I don't really get why I have to deal with this ability.

Even though I can see 'entities' other people can't, I most likely ignore it and not get involved so they'll just leave me alone.

Everything changed when I started college and was off to live by myself in the school dormitory.

I started to get involved with them when I desperately needed money. I tried performing 'exorcisms'; 1 ghost equals to a 500 thousand won. Yes, my job is very weird indeed when I can just apply for being a waitress or something but this exorcism job is enough for me to support myself. I don't have a family after all and not even friends who I can rely on.

I was suddenly alerted when I felt a presence at my room's door.

"YAH! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT COMING INSIDE MY ROOM WITHOUT NOTICE?" I yelled.

It was him.

"Oh uhm...yeah that..." he scratched his nape with a sheepish grin on his face.

"What if I was buck naked and about to change clothes huh?" I said.

"But you're not though" he argues.

I sighed. "Just because you have this ability of crossing doors and walls whenever you want doesn't mean you can just barge into my room like that"

Yes, he's a spirit, a ghost.

How did I met this dude?

Well one day, when I just finished a 'job' at a local sauna, I went to a hospital to get meds for my back pain. If you were wondering, I dealt with a huge pervy geezer of a ghost in the sauna so yeah that explains the back pain. That time was when I encountered him.

He was a ghost who is the same age as me, brown haired, doe eyes and was wearing white long sleeves with a tie and black pants. I nearly thought he was alive but then he freaked out and said "FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO COULD ACTUALLY HEAR AND SEE ME!" and that's more than enough for me to know he's not.

Having no reason to actually acquaint the both of us, I left him in the hospital but he purposely followed me back in my apartment and started bugging me on helping him. Turns out he doesn't know he's a ghost, doesn't know why he died, doesn't have any idea about his family and only knows his name and age.

'Doyoung, 20'

I didn't agree on helping him at first but then he proposed on helping me with my 'exorcisms aka fighting ghosts' and in exchange I get to help him figure out his supposedly death. I agreed of course, extra help means getting jobs done easier and that means getting money easier too.

Ever since then he's been living in my place and apparently ghosts still find the need to eat and sleep so yeah pretty much explains the pillow and blanket on my couch and my refrigerator frequently empty.

"Why are you barging in my room at this hour anyways? What do you need?" I asked.

"I think I figured it out!" he says.

"What?"

"I have to kiss you again!" my cheeks rapidly flamed when I heard what he just said.

He didn't have to remind me of that one night.

I was drunk. I didn't know what I was doing. My emotions took over.

It was only a peck at first and he was wide-eyed, definitely surprised and I did remember him telling me something but can't remember what it was. Afterwards, he was the one who initiated the kiss and it wasn't just a peck like what I did, it was deep and passionate and it ended with us making out.
