Jisung's POV

"W-What?" Hyuri looked at me as tears continued falling "What the hell are you saying? 5-50 years? And you can't leave because y-you are waiting for me?"

"You don't believe, right? Don't worry. I know this would happen"

"T-That doesn't make sense! Jisung, what the hell are you saying?! Are you going to fool me too? Are you going to side with them?" Hyuri asked and quickly hugged me tight "N-No, you are real. You are real. They are wrong. You are all fooling around. Please"

"H-Hyuri, I know it's hard to believe it but it's true. I am not real even Shuhua and Chani"

"J-Jisung, please" Hyuri begged and kneeled in front of me "D-Don't do this to me. J-Jisung...."

"Don't cry. You don't have to cry. This is the truth and I know you will find out soon about this"

She continuously shook her head while sobbing "P-Please..."

I held her hand and helped her stood up "Hyuri, don't do this to yourself. You are making it hard even more"

She stayed quiet and continued crying while holding my hands tightly like she never wanted to let go of it.

"I think this is better. This is enough for me. Yes, I died 50 years ago and I can't leave because I am waiting for you. But I never thought this will end quickly"

"D-Don't leave..." she begged and hugged me tight

"Hmmm. For now, I'm not going to tell you about it. I am going to stay with you"

Chani and Shuhua suddenly appeared watching me and Hyuri. They are looking at Hyuri.

"Don't leave me, please" Hyuri whispered

"I-I won't but c-can you do something for us? Can you help us?"

Chani and Shuhua walked towards us. Shuhua tried to comfort Hyuri by caressing her back while Chani sighed as he felt guilty.

"Chani can't leave after he died and he is here for two years, wandering around. Shuhua died 5 years ago, just like Chani, she's wandering around. And me, I died 50 years ago and kept waiting for you. We need your help, Hyuri"

"I-I can't, if helping you means you are going to leave, I'm sorry. I am not going to help you" Hyuri's voice cracked

"I understand, Hyuri. It's hard for you but we have to. This is not our world. We are not supposed to wander here. We also need to go and rest in peace. Can you help us?"

Hyuri looked at me tears are falling from her eyes "W-What about me? A-Are you going to leave me? I-I thought you-"

"Remember what I told you? I am always beside you but soon you are not able to see me again. This is what I mean, Hyuri"

She burst out crying again.

I wiped her tears "It's hard at first, but this is our destiny. To be apart from each other because we are different. I am already dead and you are alive"

"B-But I-I love you. Can't w-we just continue what we started? Can't you just stay here with me?" Hyuri

"No matter how much we love each other we can't be together. You belong to someone not to me"

Hyuri hugged me again "J-Jisung, please don't leave me. L-Let's be together"

"Ssshhhh, it's okay"

"Hyuri, I died five years ago because I killed myself. The guy I love and trust the most turned his back and left me. His family doesn't like me, I am not rich but we got engaged secretly. His family got mad and they told us to leave each other and stop seeing each other. His parents ruined my image to the guy I love the most. They said I am seeing another guy and I am pregnant and he is not father. I am really pregnant that time but he chose to leave and believe his family. I-I understand that they are his family, b-but what about me? He left and went to abroad while me? I am depressed and doesn't know what to do. I am only a college student at that time, my parents were so mad and kicked me out of our house. I don't know what to do, it was like everyone turned their backs on me. I got tired and killed myself. But now, I am still here because I have unfinished business with him" Shuhua explained while caressing Hyuri's back

"I died two years ago from saving Rowoon. It was our celebration for varsities because it's we won for the third time. We celebrated, got drunk, party and more. Rowoon and I were about to go home. We are going to cross the street but Rowoon was so drunk and didn't notived the truck coming. I was shocked and pushed him knowing that I may not able to survive but I still saved him. I-It gave him a nightmare that he can't forget. He is blaming himself until now. He can't move on and accept that it is not his fault. I-I saw you are close with them, I told myself that finally someone will help us leave this world..." Chani explained

I can't tell her yet. I don't want to leave her. I will stay with her until she finished helping Shuhua and Chani. I will stay with her for the mean time and I will leave right after.

She let go of our hug and looked into my eyes "I-I will help you a-all"

"Thank you, Hyuri"

Her tears started falling "J-Jisung..."
