Jennie Kim

I wake up, taking in all the sweet scents of the nature. I see a small rose on the table, dew all over it. It was really pretty, like it was freshly plucked.

I pick it up and sniff it, which only made me sneeze.

"Jennie....you up?" Lisa's heavenly voice shouts from the kitchen.

I ignore her and focus on the rose.

I was allergic when I was alive, but I'm dead?

"Mind replying to me?" Lisa's soft footsteps come closer and her shadow hovers above me.

She seemed to get what I was confused about and quickly snatches the rose from my hand.

"You're allergic!" She throws the rose away.

"But I'm dead now.." She sits down next to me.

"Didn't you say all of your circumstances and conditions stay the same?" She questions.

"No, ghosts can't sneeze, cough, get a cold or have any wounds" Her eyes widen and she shifts her gaze towards the rose, just barely beside the trash can.

"Ghosts living the golden life" she jokes but realizes my negative reaction.

"Well that's just weird, anyways breakfast is ready" she gets up and walks away.

Meanwhile I freeze on my spot.

Could it be that i-...

Wait what- no no no that can't be.

I nervously laugh on my own earning a judgemental look from Lisa.

Lisa Manoban

Jennie has been quiet all day, she's been holding onto the rose, and of course sneezing endlessly.

I get annoyed,

"I'M TRYING TO GET SOME WORK DONE IN HERE WOMAN!"

And after that, a loud bang was heard.

I gasp and quickly run out of my room, the sight was either hilarious or a really miserable view.

Jennie was laying on the ground with the table shattered into pieces besides her.

I bite my lip, trying to hold in my laughter. I'm sure if a human was there, I would scream and comfort them. Jennie is a ghost, she said she doesn't feel any physical pain anyway.

But to my surprise, she winced. In pain.

My eyes travelled down to her stomach, which had a really big scratch.

She was bleeding.

She stares at her stomach and places a hand on it. A paranoid look on her face.

"Why...am I b-bleeding?" Her soft brown eyes meet mine.

"I have no idea" I walk closer and help her get up.

As I gently place her on my bed, I decide to go check the broken table.

But Jennie grabs my arm and stops me.

"I....am...in....pain"
