It is true. I am no longer one with the living world and roaming around the city streets. I too am still unaware of how it all came to be and neither are my dear friends. The strange thing...I have yet to leave. My soul is in need of completing one task before I can finally reach peace. I am afraid for I have no knowledge of what that task must be, and say I do complete it...I will forever leave my friends and everyone who I hold dearly. As of now, I am a free roamer. My soul may be taken anywhere I desire as long as I obey the laws of the given nature.

There are rumors...some saying that other partnership groups were the cause for my sad death. Others would be of how I was suffering too much and could not go on longer. Therefore, it was me who decided to end the dearly life I lived. Both were possible and still...I don't know. But there is news of goodness. I may have found the task I must complete. 

Because my day of leaving was approximately 3 years ago--indeed, I was 15--I have been roaming the halls of this school. There was something...no someone who had caught my attention not very long ago. A piano. One day when I was seeking any form of life within the halls--since it was the middle of when classes were going on---and I heard...a piano. It played such a beautiful tone and it drew me in. My eyes were shut, but my ears were wide open. That was when my feet took over and guided me towards such elegance. I meet by the entrance and lay against the frame of the room door. The piano soon descended and was left with silence. I opened my eyes...

A boy?

From then on, I have been attached to that room. Everyday I visit it and sit there, watching him play with such skill. He moved so smoothly and showed an attachment to the piano. My friends do not know of any of this. I know they will tease me about it...and they will all say the same. 

"A ghost cannot love a human nor can a human love a ghost"

But...who's to say that I like him. I already know that I am done for. Love is something that I can't have...I'm dead, gone and humans are still alive. He doesn't even know I exist...

When I was still alive, Soumu and Bighit-- BTS's  partnership company-- were kind of close, but because of all the competition and heat, we distanced ourselves. I believe the boy is from that group...not too sure. Ah wait, yes he is. He is...Min Yoongi, son to...actually, no one knows. His family remains anonymous due to personal reasons I believe. I'm starting to remember...

H-he seems very familiar...Have I seen him before? Of course at school, but...wait...

-Flash-

Another memory?

Ever since I had heard his tune on the piano, things have happened...things I've never experienced. I've been having flashes of memories from when I was a human. My theory...he's special or someone that may be the key to finding out how I died. As of now, I think my task is to figure that out. But...when I do figure it out, I will really leave. What if I just find out right now, will I just disappear? What about my friends? Ever since the memories started to surface, that was when I became more weary of the possibility of leaving. I don't even know my task. Each day I'm on edge, this is too stressful...

Today I decided to visit my friend's class. I've never really gone to their class because I don't want to bother or distract them, but for some reason I felt obligated to.

As I entered, I saw the whole class looking down at their textbooks and the teacher up at front, writing on the board. I pranced in and waved my hand in everyone's face. No one can see me...it's just too much fun. At the back of the class, I spotted my friends. 

"Oh my...they dyed their hair"

I guess I must introduce you to my friends. This is Gfriend.

Kim Sojung, the oldest of all of us and our bold leader. Soumu has recorded her as Sowon, meaning wish. 
Jung Yerin, our red ginseng who is ready to brighten anyone's day.
Jung Eunbi, our cute bunny. Soumu recorded her as Eunha, meaning galaxy.
Choi Yuna, the one who's voice can enchant everyone. Soumu has recorded her as Yuju.
Hwang Eunbi, our dancing machine. Soumu recorded her as Sinb, meaning mystery.
Lastly...there was me. The youngest...you know me as Kim Yewon. Soumu had recorded me as Umji, meaning thumb. Thumbs up, heh heh.

I turned to get a glimpse of the whole class and...I saw him. My heart raced rapidly, I jumped a bit out of pure shock. It scared me, I didn't expect to see him. My friends thought I was crazy when I bolted out of my chair.

Class ended and everyone was released. My friends left and I was alone...I've never gone past outside of school in this state. I was always afraid that if I left, something bad would happen. I have tried before, but every time I walk farther away from the school gates, I don't feel so well. 

As I roamed the halls, like I do everyday, I heard it once again...the piano. Is it him? I closed my eyes and once again, followed it's tune. And as always...I am dragged to the music room. I open my eyes and see him...It seems today was different after all...

He has changed it all...before I'd just roam around and, this is a bit sad to admit, but...

Each day, I walk up to the roof and walk to the farthest ledge. There is a fence that goes up to my stomach, and each day I look over it. As a ghost...no, I don't want to think of it. Am I really...eh...d-dead? The term ghost...it just doesn't feel right to me. After being in this state for as long as I have, I should be used to it or have accepted it, but my ears do not want to hear such thing...I guess this story will be left alone, as of now.

This song he is playing, it is even different today as well. It is not like the others he has played, no this one seems more...sad. It is full of raging sorrow. He begins to play harder, reaching the climactic part. I should just leave him be, ghosting around is rude...he must be having a difficult time. The room echoes with his slamming of the keys. His fingers move extremely fast. I turn to leave and he ends with the slam of the last note.

"You..."

"Me"...I ask in my head as my eyes grew wider.
