[ Prologue ]

"Hana! Wake upp!" That annoying voice you hear every morning is really getting more and more annoying by the day.

"You don't want to mess up day one, Hana-yah!" I groaned my way up, and looked at my older sister straight in the eyes.

"Yah, I'm older, and i do not like being stared into my own soul" Ryujin pouted. "We are like, pfft, just a few minutes difference" I scoffed.

Out of nowhere, Ryujin threw my school uniform at me. I widened my eyes with threat at her as she giggled and ran out of the room.

"Oooh! Dark blue. Love it" I sarcastically complimented my outfit and head straight to the bathroom.

I did my morning routine such as brushing my teeth, take a quick shower, and a little bit of makeup since I'm lazy.

It's about time i get out of this bathroom, cause i can even smell the scent of bacon and eggs from up there.

"GAAAAHHHHH" i "greeted" my sister, Ryujin. I jumped on her back as she yelped. "YAH!" Ryujin hits me with a spatula.

"Since when did ya dye your hair? Oh wait, i forgot you are going to debut soon." I pouted. And i am here stuck, still being a trainee at SM.

"Shin Ryujin, since when can ya cook?!" I said as i ate the bacon from the plate. "Bro, It's literally just bacon and eggs. Thanks for the compliment though" Ryujin smiled weirdly at me as i wheezed at her.

"Let's go" Ryujin finished her plate first and walked away to the front door to put on some shoes. I followed her a minute later.

"Whoa, new?" I asked her and she nodded proudly. I glared at her and her shoes since mine was already really dirty and some parts of it almost ripped due to me loving these shoes to much i wear them anywhere and anytime.

"Let's go shopping after school then" Ryujin playfully pointed at my shoes and cringed.

—————

I skipped happily throughout school, trying to find me and Ryu's locker. "Ah! Here!" I smiled in relief we finally found the locker.

"Ryujin! Hana!" I know that voice. "UWAAAA YEJI UNNIE!!!" I turned to her and hugged her tightly.

"You look taller, Hana!" Yeji messed my hair up. As we speak, i began seeing things. Things as in ghosts. The old janitor who died in a school locker, cause he tried to get out with all he got,

But just ended up banging his head to the wall several times until he actually died.

It's him. The pills are wearing off. Shit, the place is crowded. Most of the ghost in this school loves crowded places.

I mean, i studied here for 2 years already.

I quickly grabbed my pills inside my bag hurriedly. "Ya okay, Na?" Yeji patted my back once. "Yep, i need to go to the bathroom, i think I'm having period." I lied straight up on her face.

"Oh! Then hurry! We will meet you at lunch, IF we have different classrooms." Ryujin gave me her bag, just in case.

I ran through the hallways and stopped at a empty dead end. No, I wasn't going to go to the bathroom, that would be a terrible choice.

I gulped down a large amount of my pills, panicking. I almost choked on one, but i got it through with water.

I wiped my sweat, as i looked around me. I noticed a boy looking at me worriedly. Thank God those creatures are gone from my sight.

"Are you okay?" The boy actually walked towards me and lended out a hand cause i was sitting on my knees on the floor.

I accepted the kind offer, and examined his face. "My name's Seungmin. Kim Seungmin" He said as i tidied myself up and fixed my skirt. "Im Hana. Thanks for helping. Oh and are you new here?" Seungmin avoided my eye contact and thought, "Mm, yea. I'm new."

The bell rang, and i cursed under my breath. I ran to my locker, dropped off Ryujin's emergency bag at my locker, and taking the pills with me.

Not forgetting my books of course.

I noticed the same boy from before was entering the class. Ya kidding me?!

"Sorry I'm late, teacher." I bowed to the teacher.
"On first day? I will let you go for now. But don't expect me to give mercy next time, Shin Hana." Wait, did she not notice Seungmin is late?

Seungmin sat at the really back of the class. Is he a loner or?

I smiled widely when i noticed one of my best friend saved a seat for me, Beomgyu. "Thanks, Beommie" i smiled at him. "I am older." Beomgyu frowned. Was that supposed to be a pout or what?

"Oppa." I rolled my eyes. Beomgyu smiled with victory. Lmao wait till we finish class and I'll crack his skull open.

Beomgyu is the only one besides my sister that knows about my secrets, that i can see ghosts.

It is dumb and stupid that mostly no one believed me, i actually hate it.

Especially when the ghost has marks of when it died. Like the janitor from before, blood was pouring out of his crooked head.

"FINALLY" Me being a loud kid in class shouted when the bell rang. It means we change subjects, not lunch. But still, its called "going out of class."

"ILL RACE YA TO THE NEXT ROOM, HANA-YAA" Beomgyu laughed and dashed out the door.

"I AM A GREAT RUNNER, BEOMGYU" I shouted back.

But in the middle of my run, i began having side effects due to the pills. No matter how much i eat, the effects are the same. This time, its dizziness, not having an appetite, and nausea.

"Shit" i mumbled.
