— you're not alone, you'll feel better soon. —

"Can you talk?" I asked. "I do" He replied.

When I heard him talk, he sounded familiar. His voice was deep and rusty. It was calming and soothing. "Why don't you just show yourself? I can handle everything."

"I look scary, I told you I'm insecure......." he replied. "Where are you right now?" I asked. "Just beside you, leaning my head over your shoulder." He said I felt a bit of pressure on my right shoulder and I thought of it's probably him.

"How was your life back then? How did you end up like this?" I asked.

"The life I had was amazing, thanks to this one woman. We've been together for 10 years and married for 2 years. She never failed to make me happy. Just by thinking of her gives me butterflies, isn't it shocking how a person can do that to you? She was a hard-working woman. She never gave up on anything no matter how hard it was for her that's how strong she was. She was the most caring and loving person I've ever met and I just wish I could see her for the last time to just tell her how much she means to me."

It reminded me of my relationship with Kun. I started sobbing. I couldn't take it anymore it hurts. Every minute, every second it just keeps getting worse and worse. I really can't do this anymore. I just want to see him. I should've been there for him. I should've just died too.

"We're on the same page then.."

My laptop suddenly was placed aside, I felt something hugging me tightly. I was sure that he was the one hugging me. I could feel his breath hitting my nape. He then suddenly started transforming into himself.

"You can't see my face but please I hope you do feel better from this hug." He said. Suddenly he vanished from my sight. I didn't have the chance to say thank you to him.

I wiped my tears and tried calming myself down by taking deep breathes. Just as soon as I calmed down I started focusing and working on everything. I went down to my office since it was getting cold outside.

"Taehyung, here are the things you need to know. I'll give a bit of briefing your training starts now! :)"

Time passed and it was already dark. I was really sleepy. "Sana? Shouldn't you be at home now?" Tae-Hyung asked. I told him, "I'll get ready"

We both went outside and decided to go for some drinks. "This was where our first date happened, we drank too much so we fell asleep here. The owner was nice so she just let us stayed."

"Really? that was my mom then. Yes, we own this shop." He replied. My eyes widened at his response, his mother is indeed a great cook. Aren't mothers always better than chefs?

I sat down while he ordered. I looked around but there was no one, it was only Taehyung and me. He came back with 2 drinks and fried chicken feet. I poured him a drink and placed it in front of him.

As I drank and ate, I thought of the spirit who lost his wife. I wonder where he is now? Did he disappear?

"what are you thinking about?" Taehyung asked. "a lot honestly, weird things keep happening to me." I answered. "This might sound weird but I can see spirits. Some lady said it was a mission from a realm??? I honestly don't know and I'm scared because my life is literally on the line. I didn't ask for this. It was a blessing they said but to me, this was like a curse. I like helping them so they can leave in peace but I can't take it I'm scared. What if those bad spirits hurt the people around me?"

"I know" Taehyung replied.

I was confused. What does he mean he knows? Is he going through something same as me?

"What do you mean you know?" I asked. He choked on his drink and kept coughing. "Oh, nothing I was just spitting out random things sorry. Anyways, you've been seeing weird things? Should you go see a priest..?"

He acted suspiciously.

Taehyung's POV

Don't be suspicious, I almost blew my cover.

I indeed knew what she was talking about since I was going through the same thing. Yes, I can see everything she sees. We humans who have this special ability are supposed to not tell anyone about it. It's a rule that must be followed. If we ever break the spirit realm's rule we will get punished accordingly.

It's been two years since I have been experiencing this. Ever since my sister passed away. It seems like you go through this whenever you lose someone who you truly love. and it'll end once you send them home, that means my sister is somewhere in the world. She's just lost, she probably doesn't remember me anymore.

There's a lot of different kinds of spirits. Those you can't touch or speak to, those who can't speak, it all depends on how they died or how long they have been wandering around in this harsh world.

I watched her as she takes her third bottle. She was pretty much drunk at this point. I tried taking the bottle out but she swang the chicken feet at me.
