Invisible / k.th (Hiatus)

Chapter 6

Everytime I pass someone that mentions Bangtan, I get slightly scared, because I keep thinking that someone had noticed me. It was interesting to hear what people had to say. I heard some good things about us and, as you would expect, some rude things as well.

It was starting to get cold around this time of the month, especially around the afternoon, but it didn't even matter for me. I didn't feel the coldness. I didn't want to accept the fact that I couldn't feel it.

It made me feel desperate. Less human.

As I was wallowing in self pity while walking, someone had bumped into me and kept going. I frowned and looked at their retreating figure, recognizing the familiar grey hoodie.

I squinted to see if it was actually her. "Mina?"

"Mina, wait!"

A girl passed by me, calling out to Mina. She was a bit shorter than me and had short hair. She looked a bit like Mina.

I followed them. My curiosity getting the better of me and because I didn't know what else to do. The streets were less crowded, but there was still a fair amount of people out.

Mina kept walking, ignoring the other girl. It wasn't until she got frustrated and jogged up to Mina, grabbing her arm to stop her from walking away.

"Mina, you can't keep doing this!"

Mina turned to her and frowned, not noticing that I was some distance away.

"Do what, unnie?"

"You know what I mean. You can't keep hating the world, Mina."

"I don't hate the world, Nari. I hate myself."

Nari sighed and let go of her arm.

"You can't keep blaming yourself for what happened. We're all trying to help you here."

Mina scoffed. "That's a lie. I'm going and don't follow me, Nari."

Nari watched as Mina left. She sighed in frustration, but nonetheless let her go. I ran behind Mina to catch up to her.

"Mina,"

She sighed, knowing that it was me. She stopped and looked at me. She looked angry and frustrated.

"What do you want, Taehyung?"

I slightly flinched at her tone of voice, how harsh she had asked me that. But I ignored it.

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything is just peachy."

I raised an eyebrow, not really believing her.

She sighed. "You saw what just happened with my sister, right?"

"Pretty much."

"It's nothing, Taehyung. You don't need to worry about it." She tried to smile.

I frown a bit and nod, not wanting to make her uncomfortable by pushing onto the subject.

"Will you ever tell me?" I asked as I walked next to her.

"Perhaps." She simply said.

"Well you might, considering how I'm stuck with you and you're stuck with me currently."

She lightly laughed. "Yeah, that's true. But we're still gonna figure out how to get you back to your body."

I stuffed my hands into my pockets. "How are we going to do that though? You already saw that I can't get close to my body."

"I don't know. Maybe I can push you towards your body until you somehow go back in?"

"That's one option, but won't you just go through me since I'm a ghost?"

Mina shrugs and holds a hand out. "Give me your hand and we'll see." 

I looked at her hand hesitantly and slowly put my hand over hers. I didn't really feel anything, but a few seconds after our hands touched, Mina quickly moved her hand and put it in her pocket, frowning a bit.

"Damn, I don't know what's colder. Your hand or this weather."

I looked down at my hand and closed it. "But my hand isn't cold. I don't feel anything. This happened earlier too."

We kept walking a bit more and Mina looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you mean? And what did you do, Taehyung?"

"I didn't do anything, I swear! And I was just walking around when I guess someone brushed past me. They said that everything felt cold for a bit and I heard someone faintly say that it was how I was feeling."

"How you're feeling? Did you see who said it? More importantly, how do you know if they were talking to you?"

"No, I didn't see who it was. And I don't know, I just had a feeling that they were."

Mina slightly bit her lip, thinking. She seemed like she was going to say something, but was interrupted by someone chuckling. I looked to the side and saw a hooded figure leaning against the street light pole. There was not a lot of people here around this area.

"You two have no idea on what to do, do you?"

Mina and I looked at each other confused before she spoke up. "What are you talking about?"

"I mean, you don't have any idea on how to get your little friend here back to his body. I've been basically watching you two all day. I would've thought that you would have an idea about what to do by now."

"Little?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "Wait... so that was you who I saw back at the park?"

He pulled his hood down and looked at us smiling. "Yep. Name's Jinwoo. And I'm a soul collector that's been assigned to you."
