Suddenly, he jumped up to my arms and hugged me with a tight hug. "Yuchan! Where have you been?"

"I-I don't know, but all these memories started coming back a-and I had come into this dark room where I slept with my memories coming back. I-I can't remember how I died.." He raced through his words, "but when I came back, I-I walked into the living room and saw them."

I was super confused on what he was talking about. "Who are you talking about?" I asked.

His tears started to flow more and more.

"My best friends, Junhee and Byeongkwan." He said and my eyes widened.

"I missed them so much.. " he cried as he clutched his chest.

"But why couldn't they see me?"

----------------------

Yuchan really wasn't the same after that night. I still remember vividly on how it was when we had first met. The tall figure standing in the kitchen as he made breakfast for us with a smile even though he had never met me before.

Now with the fact that Yuchan is dead and seeing the chain of reaction after the fact this has happened made this even harder on him.

His smile seemed to have gone elsewhere.

So tonight after a week has passed from that day, I decided we were going to sit and watch TV together since I liked having a buddy to sit and watch a show with me.

I honestly didn't care what show we were going to watch, I just wanted him to be happy again.

When he had agreed to be my show watching buddy with me, I smiled which seemed to have only a slight reaction with his faint smile that he showed. Maybe it was to show that he understood what I was trying to do for him. Or maybe he did that just to make me feel better.

After I had gotten Yuchan settled on the couch, I placed the TV remote next to him.

"Just choose whatever you want and I'm going to get everything ready for our binge." I said and grinned with all my braces showing.

I swear, I would be slightly embarrassed if I treated anyone else this way, but with him, I felt more motherly than ever.

I went into my room and into my closet and grabbed a big ol' fuzzy blanket. Then when I made it to the kitchen, I had made some really buttery popcorn to snack on as we watched the show.

I made it back over to Yuchan and gave him the popcorn.

"Alright, hold the popcorn up." I instructed Yuchan and he followed orders even though he was very confused.

I then threw the blanket over him and grabbed the bowl to place next to him. "Okie dokie. Are you all comfy now Yuchan?" I asked as I got seated.

"Yeah, thanks." he said with a nod. He didn't sound sarcastic, but he didn't seem thrilled either. He seemed bleak, but it also felt as if he were calm.

I didn't sit far away from Yuchan, but I gave him his space. I didn't want to overwhelm him with me being as hyper as I am, but I didn't want to act like he's a stranger by sitting so far away.

We were only a popcorn bowl away from each other.

After Yuchan picked a show called Kingdom, we were completely emerged. Well, I know I was, but I wasn't sure about Yuchan. I had been catching glances at Yuchan to see his reaction, but he seemed so lost in thought.

He had every right to be due to his circumstances, but I do think that part of his sadness is my fault.

If I had been more aware of what was going on around me and been more careful I wouldn't have lost my wallet, then that means that I wouldn't have needed to have Junhee come over and bring it. That means Yuchan wouldn't have to go through this pain he's feeling.

I was already looking away from the screen, but the thought of Yuchan's forgotten happiness being my fault made me pull my knees to my chest.

I only assume Yuchan had taken notice of that because when did he open the blanket to me.

"Hey if you're cold, you could have just gotten into the blanket." he offered while moving the bowl to the coffee table in front of us.

"Oh no! I'm fine. Really." I rejected, not wanting for him to feel uncomfortable.

"It's fine, just get under." He reassured with more of a smile than he did before. I guess his smile is to make me feel like there's nothing to fear. And it worked.

I sigh in defeat and scooted over to where the popcorn was.

We were about a hand away from each other.

I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable, so I tried to keep my distance away from him from under the blanket.

Then I suddenly felt an arm wrap itself around my waist and pulled me. I realized too late that it was Yuchan's arm bringing me closer to him.

Our bodies were pressed together while Yuchan continued to watch TV.

Meanwhile I could only manage trying to keep my heart rate in check before he felt it.

"U-Uh, Yuchan?" I mumbled and he hummed in response.

"Are you sure you're fine with me being this close?" I asked.

"Of course. I mean, you offered this blanket to me, let me stay here even though I'm a ghost, so yeah. It's not that big of a deal anyways," he answered, "besides," he then looked down at me with a warm and adorable smile.

"I like cuddles anyways."

It made me gleam with happiness as I saw that smile on Yuchan's face that I had grinned at him with my braceface and hugged him with my face buried in his chest.

You see, I'm a very touchy person, so when someone allows me to be that way, I get overly excited. Especially with the fact that Yuchan was finally starting to be himself again made me overjoyed with pride.

"I'm glad you're back Yuchan."

I said to him as we continued to watch the movie with my arms wrapped around him. It felt as if I were a child again getting all this attention.

Yuchan had his arms around my petite frame and chuckled.

"But I never left." he said with a smile.
