The Cursed and the Wicked

The Reaper and the Outcast pt. 4

Bahati immediately went to her computer the moment she got home. It was 10 in the morning, so she had another hour, before she had to leave for school and go to her first class of the day at noon. What other way can you get to know a person than "stalk" their social media accounts. Instagram was the perfect start of her investigation.

Jae looked at Bahati as she tried to search for any information on Ha Yoon. However he noticed that she winced in pain every now and then from the wounds she sustained at Ha Yoon's place.

"Why is she trying to hide it?" He thought, before searching around her apartment for a first aid kit. That's what human uses to treat their minor injuries, right?

Bahati didn't even notice that Jae came back carrying a metallic box and sat next to her.

"Strip", he demanded her.

Bahati looked at him like he was crazy. She was about to smack him in the face, before she noticed the box in his hand. She instantly calmed down afterwards.

She looked back up at him and shyly looked away from his eyes as she tried to cover herself up, though she hadn't taken anything off yet.

"I'm not a pervert that is trying to harass you. I'm just trying to treat you. Besides, it's nothing I haven't seen before". He told her. "You do it before I do".

That made Bahati quickly and shyly take off her shirt and tried to cover her exposed bra. Jae turned her around, so that her back faced him. That's where he noticed a huge purple bruise on her back. He sighed as he rubbed alcohol on it, making her hiss in pain, before rubbing ointment on it. That made the stinging go away and Bahati relax. Lastly, Jae taped a gauze to her back, covering her bruise to make sure it doesn't get infected. He was about to dispose of all the wrappings,  before he noticed all the scars on Bahati's back and arms.

Jae gently grazed all of the scars he saw.  Bahati didn't know what he was doing, but she didn't mind it either. Jae looked at it sadly. She must have gone through a lot while dealing with the dead alone.

"It must have tough". Jae said.

Bahati instantly knew what he was talking about. "Yeah it was, but I pulled through with it everyday. That's all I really can do". "It was hard treating my wounds myself though", she chuckled at the thought.

"Well, you have me now", Jae told her, turning her around.

Bahati stared into his eyes as he smiled and placed a band aid on her left cheek.

"There", he said, grazing that cheek, making sure the band aid sticks, before getting up and throwing away the trash.

Bahati grabbed her chest as her heart was racing, trying to calm it down. She patted her face, trying to snap herself out of it, before going back to her research.

She scrolled through Ya Hoon's Instagram pictures. "She's very beautiful", she said, smiling. She looked so happy in all of her pictures, even with her boyfriend. "He's cute".

Jae sat down beside Bahati and glanced at the boyfriend's picture and shrugged his shoulders. "Eh, he's okay. I'm better looking than him, though".

Bahati laughed as she pushed his shoulder with hers, making him laugh too.

Bahati started scrolling through the comment section of the photo of her and her boyfriend. They all seemed like nice and encouraging comments, until she got further down.

"She's a home wrecker". "She's a back stabber". "She's a cheater". "Shes a bully". "She's a murderer and she will get what's coming to her". "They are both trash". All of these comments were said about Ha Yoon. What did she do to warrant such attacks online?

Bahati started messaging those people who left those nasty comments on Ya Hoon's photo. Only one responded to her back.

Yi Ha Hoon is not as innocent as plenty of people think. She's a back stabbing whore that stole her best friend's boyfriend and rubbed it in her face afterwards. She teased her about her looks, her personality. This friend was already insecure about herself before, so Ya Hoon's taunting made it worse for her. She would always say "why would Rhee Hyun Soo like a plain, boring, mediocre nobody like Park Seo Yeon?" She would bully her every time she saw her. It was a non stop nightmare for Seo Yeon. Her cheating bastard whore of a boyfriend left her for her lying, back stabbing whore of a friend. It devastated her. She went into a deep depression, before she finally killed herself by slitting her wrists in her bathtub. I will never forget or forgive Ha Yoon and what she did to my sister Seo Yeon. I hope she burns in hell.

Bahati had to hold her mouth as she had read what Ha Yoon had done to warrant attacks from her peers and the dead. Ha Yoon did all of that? How despicable she was, but no matter how she felt about her, she was her client.

"Can you send me a picture of Park Seo Yeon?" She typed up and asked the other.

Bahati waited, until a picture was sent online. She stared at the picture in shock. She had nudged Jae in his shoulder, trying to get his attention.

"Does this girl look familiar to you?" She asked him.

Jae stared at it for quite a bit, before it dawned on him. "That's the ghost that was haunting Ha Yoon!" He finally recognized the girl in the picture.

Bahati nodded her head, not taking her eyes off of the picture.

She messaged the other again saying "thank you for all your help and have a great rest of your day".

Bahati finally figured out why the ghost was so hostile towards Ha Yoon and even her. The ghost was Park Seo Yeon and she harbored a deep hatred for her former friend for what she did to her. She pushed Bahati down the stairs because she got in her way.

"I think I know how to help Seo Yeon pass on!"  Bahati told Jae, excitedly grabbing his hands.
