“KYUNGSOO!!” Chanyeol shouted while he was running to Kyungsoo’s house. Chanyeol was crying.

Kyungsoo then went out of their house because he knew that Jongin was there too, “Jongin! Chanyeol!” he greeted lively but his eyes got bigger when he saw Chanyeol crying so hard and Jongin was not around. “Why are you crying?”

Chanyeol wiped his tears, “Jongin… he’s gone…”

Kyungsoo’s brows met, “W-what? Have you seen him?”

Chanyeol shook his head, “N-no. I heard him.. He is leaving. And after that, I cannot hear his voice anymore.”

Kyungsoo looked around if Chanyeol was telling the truth and he really cannot see Jongin anymore, “N-no..”

“Why, Kyungsoo? You noticed me when I’m gone. Your eyes are so big yet, you cannot see me. Only now, now that I am gone. It has always been Baekhyun, Baekhyun… why? Because he’ll be a ghost soon? So if I become I ghost too, you’ll notice me? Kyungsoo, it’s so unfair. You cannot see me, yet I always see you.” Jongin said… through Chanyeol.
