The Cursed and the Wicked

The Reaper and the Outcast pt. 20

After moving packing and moving all the boxes into their now two bedroom apartment, Bahati and Hyung started unpacking and organizing their bedrooms, and when they were done with bedrooms, went for the bathroom. They put their names on the cups and toothbrushes so there wouldn't be any confusion and divided up the sink space, bathroom cabinet, and the tub space (for shower gel and soap and stuff). They smiled at each other when they were satisfied that it was organized to the way that they wanted it to. Lastly the unpacked and organized the sitting room and the kitchen and became satisfied again. They high fived now that they have officially moved in together.

"It's gonna be fun having a roommate." Bahati said, laying on the couch.

"I agree. I usually avoid going back home because it's so lonely and too quiet over there. I don't like it." Hyung said, making Bahati scooch over so he could lay on the couch beside her.

"Was getting kinda lonely over here too but I was always lonely." She sighed.

"I'm sorry." Hyung said.

"Why?"

"I should have befriended you so much earlier than I did. I never cared about those rumors about you but I also should have made an effort to get to know you, since I knew people were purposefully avoiding you. You are an amazing and extraordinary woman." Hyung told her.

"Thank you, Hyung and I really mean that. At least you're here now and that's all that matters." Bahati told him. "I'm not gonna be stuck with only mr grumpy pants, though I enjoy his company too." She chuckled, so did Hyung.

"You're gonna be stuck with me for awhile. I'm going to be hard to get rid of." Said Hyung.

"I hope so."

Then a grumbling sound came, making both Bahati and Hyung bust out laughing. It was their stomachs growling in hunger. They worked up an appetite moving and fixing their new apartment and now they could eat.

"Take out?" Hyung suggested.

"Yes. I'm in the mood for some jajangmyeon." Bahati said almost salivating at the thought.

"Perfect." Hyung jumped up off the couch and grabbed his cellphone.

He knew of just the perfect place and dialed their number and ordered the food.

After that, the two relaxed on the couch and decided to watch some television to past the time. Tomorrow they were gonna go back to school and take their exams. Today was solely for moving into their new apartment. It was their "day off" from ghost hunting/busting.

"Ah finally another episode of my favorite drama." Bahati said.

"You like, "I'm dating a kpop idol?!" (1) too?" Hyung asked.

"Oh hell yes!"

The door bell rung, food was delivered, and so Bahati and Hyung was able to binge their favorite drama together with their favorite food.

Jae wasn't going to be much help with the moving around and organizing so he left both Bahati and Hyung alone again, even though last time that happened, the two went on a date ended up kissing when the night was over.

He knew and understood where Bahati was coming from so he didn't hold it against her. Why would he? If the two did like each other in that way, who was he to stop them? Besides, he wanted to be alone to think and try to regain anymore memories of the two of them, even though he got enough information. His memories was just hazy and he wanted to make it clearer. He now had the desire to regain his memories. He wanted to remember how they met, what they did, what they talked about, everything. It's all he had now.

He knew he made the decision to agree with the memory erasing, most likely to protect Bahati, but he can't have her now. The only thing he could have was what they once were.

Jae laid down on a park bench with his head laying on his arms which was crossed as he stared at the sky.

"Think." He tried to force the memories to come back, but it wouldn't. He groaned in annoyance.

He looked around his surroundings and noticed a library a feet from where he was. He felt a strange connection to the place even though he has never seen or been there before.

Jae got up and walked into library, following his instincts, went up to the top floor and looked around. The place felt oddly familiar. He noticed a table and sat down at it before looking ahead of him at a specific bookshelf. He got up and walked over to it, instantly reaching for a book on the very top shelf, and at the moment, more memories started coming back.

"This is how we met." He whispered, taking down the same book Bahati was trying to get.

He stared down at it, chuckling. "This was the start of it all." He said, before taking it with him and poofing away. Jae was gonna keep it as a keepsake.

He then walked around and found the restaurant the two went on for their first official date. All of the memories was starting to come back.

He sat down in another park.

That was when Bahati first told him about her secret and when they shared their first kiss together.

Everything was falling into place. He even started to remember that day they got engaged. That same day where they shared bodies with one another. Everything. Even when he had died.

Tragic and heartbreaking. Bahati had to watch him die right before her eyes. Must have been devastating for her.

He then thought of his parents and remembered reaping the both of them. Both died of cardiac arrest. He poofed away and to a center where they hold the ashes of dead loved ones. He found their vase with their names engraved and pictures of the two of them.

"Mom. Dad."  He said, touching the glass case.

However, as Jae was on a quest to recover his lost memories, by doing so, triggered another event.
