Ghost Friend [2jae]

Day 12

Jaebum

"I'm Youngjae. Choi Youngjae..." I looked at him watched intenly. It's tape no.1 the first tape where Youngjae welcomed his home. The first time that I knew me and him lived by the same house...In the same place...What a really small world...

His eyes moves to every details in the tape...

His expression shows emotions when he's confused...familiarity...and sadness..

It was like that until tape 2,Tape 3,Tape 4, and Tape 5

At the end of tape 5.
He was just blank...Empty almost like gone...

I started to get worried but didn't utter a word.

His hands curled infront of him...Then he looked at me.

"Wow...That was me?...Im so..so-"

"Happy?" I continued. He slowly nodded. "I can't believe I was someone like...him" He looked at the screen. He was so energetic...
So kind...So alive" his voice slowly turn to whispers...

Tweet..tweet.

I looked up from upstairs. It's the bird. Youngjae looked up too."Is that....?" Youngjae looked at me, asking. I smiled and nodded.

We walked upstairs and inside my room. He looked around. "Wow you really stole my place..." He joked. I chuckled. Youngjae then walked towards the bird.

"Found him at the basement though...I mean it could have died but..It didn't" I said. He opened the door and grabbed the small bird he pet it slowly..." You must be strong huh?" He whispered at the small thing...My lips curved upward. I walked beside him.

The windows was open...it was cloudy outside...As usual. The people walked and pass...but there is something off with this neighboorhood...It's the lack of joy.

Youngjae put back the bird. He as well looked outside. A sigh escape his rosy lips. Eyes closed.

"What happened to me Jaebum?"

His voice full of sadness and despair...Just like the neighboorhood he is empty.

"That's a mystery that I don't know...I talked to my real state agent and found out some information about you but..." I looked at him...He look back

"But?"

"Youngjae...The last thing they saw is your house empty. Its like you ran away your clothes were not found too" I tried to explained not making him more sad.

Youngjae sigh. "I guess you could say I ran away but where? and Why?...and more importantly why am I dead?" He said. His last sentence seems to be cold.

The conversation ended when a vistor entered. Of course who else would visit Jaebum its none other than.

Jackson

Jaebum looked down and sigh.

"Great" He sarcastically said.When he look back.

Youngjae was gone

A note fell down.
