Ghost Friend [2jae]

Day 15

Jaebum

New found fact:

Youngjae can't leave the house. Its like he's not allowed to. We tried several things that could help him come out.

But we fail.

The house is keeping him back.

So I decided I should just be the one to get out and ask Yugyeom.

I knocked on the door.

"Yugyeom"I called. The door opened and it shows Yugyeom. He seem a little bit nervous.

"Hi" I said. Yugyeom smiled a bit.

"H-Hi" He replied.

"Can I talk to you?" I ask.
Yugyeom's grandma came into view.

Come in

She made me come inside.

I sat down awkwardly together with Yugyeom infront of me.

"So what brings you here?" Yugyeom ask.

I cleared my throat and speak.

"I'm here to ask if you remember Youngjae ?"

Yugyeom suddenly tense up as if he expected me to say that. He is shaking a bit

But

His grandmother seems to make him calm down when he put an assuring arm in his grandson's face.

His grandma looked at me.

"We know about Youngjae"

She interpreted. A sudden burst of hope spark in me and my eyes widen.

"Really? you know about him? So uhmm...Can you tell me what's he like? Do you still remember?" I ask continually.

I stopped and regain my posture.

"I'm so sorry...I was just suprised" I said. His grandma smiled and look at Yugyeom.

Yugyeom then looked at me.

"Youngjae hyung...He is really nice...He is my first friend actually...We met when I was around 12 yrs old. It was a very long time" Yugyeom tell.

"That's nice. How about when he moved in?" I ask.

"He moved in around 4 years ago. The neighnoorhood brighten up because of him. There's alot of programs he always held and he likes tending his house. Like it was just newly bought." Yugyeom answered.

His grandma tell Yugyeom something.

"Grandma and Youngjae hyung are pretty close. Youngjae hyung always help grandma to arrange flowers.cHe also has this habit in filming everything" Yugyeom kindly smiled.

I smiled but a weak one.

"He sounds like a nice guy" I pretend.

But

"I wish to know what happened to him..."

Both of their faces fell and the atmosphere changed into something more grieving and sad.

"Youngjae Hyung..." Yugyeom mumbled.His grandma hold his hands tight.

"Y-Youngjae H-hyung" He choked and sobbed. Tears ran down on his cheeks. His body is shaking from the crying.

"Yugyeom why? Are you okay?" I ask and move a little forward.

I don't get it why would he cry all of a sudden.

I'm confused

He would'nt cry unless-

"He is dead." Yugyeom said with tears. Yugyeom said it crystal clear.

He knows.

I'm not suprise about the news but I'm suprise that Yugyeom knows.

Why does he knows?

"Yugyeom...W-why?.." I mumbled.

Confusion raise up in my mind. Yugyeom was crying he can't answer.

But Youngjae...

I have to know what happened to him and this boy infront of me knows. He knows and all this time he was my neighbor.

The answer was so close.

I was just stupid not to know it.

"Yugyeom please tell me" I said sternly. I'm tired of this mystery and secrets that this neighboorhood holds.

"One night..."

He started.

"Noises can be heard from Youngjae Hyung's house. It was late that night and I know he just came from work" He explained. His voices husky from crying.

"Vases and other glass stuff crashing inside of his house and I'm starting to get worried about him." He added.

"So I..."

"I decided to take a look"

My own heart was shaking as well. I'm slowly getting nervous.

"He was being chased and Youngjae hyung was crying...He was crying and shouting out help. I want to get inside.

But I was scared...

I was scared of the man that wears the red jacket"Yugyeom cried out.

Red Jacket?

"He was chasing Youngjae hyung and he was holding a knife..."

Yugyeom looked at me.

"I was scared that I ran away. I ran away and I didn't get to help Youngjae hyung " He cried.

My heart ache with sadness as I see him cry. His tears is staining his grandma's hand that wipe it away.

He was traumatized

"But You Jaebum Hyung" He said and hold both of my hands.

"You should be careful...You have to get away from the house and leave...Youngjae hyung I didn't get to protect him. But You ...I must warn you while I still can."He said hesterically

"Don't trust anyone Jaebum Hyung."

I was confused. I grab hold of Yugyeom's hand.

"Yugyeom...Why?...Do you know what happened to Youngjae after?" I ask. He look down and his tears fell.

"Youngjae never left the house hyung"

With that my body had goosebumps and My heart feels like it stopped for a moment. My breathing stop and my body froze.

Somebody died in my house

And its Youngjae
