A lady in white. A lady in white, they say - students, teachers, including their principal, claimed the haunting rumour. She is never a believer when it comes to these paranormal anecdotes: the evil spirit who which holds a deep grudge towards another human, the kind spirit that brings good luck for everyone, or the lost spirit which only lingers behind the school called the shed.
In an untouched garden located behind the school building, there is an abandoned shed left forbidden to be opened by any students. Security guards often visit the area for further inspection at night, making sure the barrier tape is intact and no youngsters trying to involve themselves for silly scares. There were rumours of younger graders attempting to sneak in whenever it's a weekend - especially it's popular during Halloweens. The place becomes a playground for pranksters and bullies to provoke the weak into coming in to show their manly sides. Some may have said weird stories that made others avoid the shed at all cost.
It's either a curse or good luck. By the end of the day, only sane people would never choose to cross the line.
She would sometimes glance outside the window and observe a lady standing near a massive tree in complete isolation; behind it is the shed everyone fears. She sits there by herself staring at nothing, from time-to-time, her classmates take a few peek of her figure in the corner of the classroom and whisper what they thought of her. It is an absolute fact that her capability to see ghost fascinates the people surrounds her. They love to see their kind connect with spirits from another world. She mostly declines their offer to join forces in a ghost hunting by telling her classmates a couple of reasonable excuse for her busy schedules after school hours. Other explanations are blatant lies - she doesn't wish to involve herself in any scenario.
Throughout her whole high school life, her observation of the lady in white begins to sink in. When winter comes, traces of her disappear. The lady strangely appears at the start of autumn until the end of the season. She always faces the shed now and then while maintaining a close distance with the ancient tree beside her. Once the leaves fall, she sits on the tree branch, holding a piece of the freshly fallen leaf as the sun shines through her body (her silhouette not present). It became normal for her, although she never got to see her face accurately.
Due to those reasons, it urges her to come closer. Probably for an earlier birthday gift? Wanting to get possessed is out of the wishlist. Who would go that far? Obviously, not Dahyun.
Dahyun can invite multiple friends. She has friends. Though, the concept of meeting the lady in white personally makes it more engaging and suspenseful to experience - a memorable memory for her last year in high school perhaps. So, she has a plan. After their class dismissal, waiting for everyone to leave out of the premises by hiding in a secret room somewhere in the storage quarters is the only way. Sneaking at the back of the building after the security guard checks the shed is the next step. To stay invisible, Dahyun plans not to stumble onto someone in the way.
As if luck is by her side at all times, she arrives successfully while the sunlight starts to grow dimmer. The maple tree in front remained perfectly healthy and still as its leaves move along with the breath of wind on a breezy afternoon. Dahyun inhales the natural air through her nostrils, somehow finding peace. Strolling comfortably, birds scattered at once from their respective places into another shelter away from the newcomer. Everything is very typical cleansing might reveal the true beauty in such an eerie place.
As she drew closer to the abandoned shed, her attention went to the crack window. Dahyun tilts her head out of curiosity at the blurry reflection of herself. A broad examination begins where her eyes try to make out the words inside. Her heart instantly froze, seeing an entity standing behind at a far distant. Dahyun kept her heart intact, an attempt to hide the terror within. She must not get caught in the act. It could be anyone spying on her business, like the security guard or a random student nearby. Understandably, she fears humans more than a ghost in general.
