Invisible / k.th (Hiatus)

Chapter 3

I would say that I was out of breath from running back and forth in the hospital, but I'm not. When I went back to the waiting room, I tried to look for the girl with the grey hoodie, but so much for my luck, she was gone. So now you just see me running throughout the hospital.

I was trying to keep my hopes up on trying to find her, but I went through almost everywhere in the hospital and I couldn't find her. After I slowed down and thought about it, I realized that I didn't know what she looked like. All I saw from her was her hoodie and a bit of her dark hair.
And what if she can't see me? What if she was talking to someone else instead?

Come on Taehyung, don't think negatively.

I went back on the elevator and went onto the next floor. I was walking down the hallway almost in defeat, when I saw a familiar hoodie turn the corner. I made a dash towards her, when I saw her go into a room. I quietly stood by the open door as she sat down on the chair that was next to the hospital bed. She was talking to an older woman, who was laying on the bed, softly but I couldn't exactly hear what she was saying.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

Some time later, she stood up and turned towards the door. Her cold eyes stared straight at me, but she didn't say anything. This continued on for a few seconds, until she walked past me. I broke out of the small trance that I was in and scurried behind her.

"W-wait. Can you please help me?"

She didn't pay any attention to me, she just kept on walking with her head down.

"I know you can hear me, you showed that earlier."

I heard her sigh and curse under her breath.

"Dammit, not this again."

Again? What does she mean by that?

She stopped walking and turned her head slightly to look at me.

"Please leave me alone. I can't help you."

After that, I just watched her retreating figure go into the elevator. I let out a sigh and leaned against the wall. What was that? How can she just say no without listening to what I had to say first? There is no way I can give up on this. She said that she'll be back tomorrow, I'll just keep on asking her until she agrees.

I spent the rest of the night wandering around the hospital. It was around three in the morning when I passed by the hospital's cafeteria and I realized that I haven't eaten since this morning. Or was it yesterday morning?

But I didn't feel like I was hungry. And when I thought about it, I noticed that I wasn't tired. I didn't feel anything really.

I kept on wishing that this was some nightmare and that I would wake up in any second... None of that happened.

I walked to my room and sat on the chair that was next to the bed. The others left earlier, most likely to calm Jungkook down. It felt weird to be in this position. To be looking at yourself like this.

I frowned and reached towards myself. As weird as this might sound, maybe I'll be able to somehow make myself go back to my body. Right when I was about to grab onto my arm, my hand froze in mid-air. I tried to push my hand further, but it was as if there was something holding me back. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't touch my body. I let out a sigh and slumped back against the chair. I guess I didn't really have any other choice but to ask that girl again.

After that, I somehow managed to get back to the floor where I last saw that girl and waited until she came.

****

A couple hours later, I noticed someone getting off the elevator and it was her. Except she wasn't wearing the hoodie from yesterday. I walked up to her and smiled at her. She just glanced at me and kept on walking.

"I thought you left already?" She muttered.

"Mmm, nope. I still need your help."

She sighed and walked inside a room. "I already told you, I can't help you." She shut the door in front of my face.

I just shrugged and waited for her outside of the room, not wanting to impose. After twenty minutes later, she came out of the room. I stood up from the floor and fixed my clothes. "So, are you gonna help me now?"

She rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her. She sighed and looked around. There was no one here. "Alright, fine. Do you see a light or feel that something is pulling you? If so then go towards it and it'll take you to the other side, heaven, whatever you see. There, problem solved."

She was about to walk away, when I stopped her. "Please, just listen-"

"Would you just leave me alone?"

"Help me get back to my body. And I don't see or feel anything. I'm not dead."

She stopped in her tracks and looked at me confused. "What?"

"I'm not dead." I repeated.

She stared at me. "Follow me." She sighed when a lot more people started to show up on this floor.

I followed her to an empty room. She took one last look outside the room before she closed the door. "Okay, what do you mean that you're not dead?" She crossed her arms. "You're a ghost."

I sat on a chair. "Yeah, I'm not. I'm still here. I'm still breathing, but I'm unconscious. I'm in a coma."

"Then why are you a ghost if you're still alive?"

"No idea," I sighed. "Look, if you don't believe me, just follow me. I'm in this hospital too."

She was a bit hesitant, but nonetheless agreed.

"I'm Mina by the way." Mina said quietly while we were on our way to my room.

"Taehyung."

Silence surrounded us after that. A few minutes later we reached my room. We stood by the door and she looked between me and my body on the hospital bed. "So you're alive, huh? Have you tried anything on trying to wake yourself up?"

"I tried going back into my body, but I couldn't. It felt like something was holding me back." I went closer to my body and showed Mina what I tried to do earlier. I walked back to her and she frowned.

"I-"

"Can we help you?"

We both turned around at the familiar voice.

"Hyung," My hyungs were standing were standing there in front of us. Mina quickly glanced at me and then looked back at them.

"No, sorry, I was looking for someone. Excuse me." She slightly bowed and started to walk away.

I took one last look at them and noticed that Jungkook wasn't with them. I left the room and caught up with Mina. She sighed and looked at me.

"I can't believe I'm doing this... Alright, I'll help you."
