scream (dreamcatcher)

seven

Yoohyeon was sitting quietly in the corridor of Handong's house. She was thinking about Minji. Poor Minji. She's probably so devastated because of me. But Yoohyeon knew Minji was kind and the strongest person she knew. She would get over it, somehow. But Yoohyeon let her mind drift away.

It's raining heavily and Minji and Yoohyeon are standing under a small umbrella. Minji's bony cold hands grip Yoohyeon's supple warm hands tightly to warm her up. She shivers and looks up to Yoohyeon. She may be a few years older than Yoohyeon, but Yoohyeon was slightly taller than Minji. Their breath fogs up in the cold air and the rain is loud hitting on the umbrella: Minji looks determined. She hesitates, and then asks quietly, "Do you want me to warm you up?" Yoohyeon looks confused, and before she can say anything, she can feel Minji's warm soft lips on hers. Yoohyeon's eyes widen in surprise, but then she gets used to it and closes her eyes. Yoohyeon could feel goosebumps prickle on her skin and she shivered slightly, then a wave of heat washed over her body and she relaxed. The kiss becomes more and more intense until Yoohyeon could feel the disapproving stares settle on her and Minji. They break apart carefully and embrace instead. Yoohyeon could feel Minji's heated breath on her neck and sighed happily. Nothing else mattered in the world right then for her except Minji. They walk back to their dorm, hand in hand.

Yoohyeon smiled remembering the good memories. She wanted to meet Minji. Was she still at university? Probably. Yoohyeon clicked her transparent fingers and dissipated. She arrived at the university and brushed the dust off her blue outfit. Now, if she remembered properly, Minji was in room 1- RING RING RING. Yoohyeon jumped at the sudden noise and realised it was a fire alarm. She could smell the distinctive stench of smoke. So there was a real fire? That was really really rare. Yoohyeon ran to the field where everyone was evacuating and lining up in order, in hopes she could find Minji in the crowd. She could spot Gahyeon, but that was about it. No trace of Minji, or Yubin. Were they at home? Probably not, they never missed a day of school.

Oh wait, Yoohyeon thought she spotted Minji walking with the other students near the building. Minji looked right in Yoohyeon's eyes and stared at her in pure horror. Yoohyeon was visible to her? She ran over to Minji and waved an arm in her face. "Minjiiiii unnieeee..." she called out loudly. Minji looked visibly distressed, so Yoohyeon continued, "This isn't a hallucination. I'm right here." Minji looked at Yoohyeon weirdly and whispered almost silently, "What are you? Who are you?" Yoohyeon sighed exasperated, and she put a hand to her head. "It's me, Yoohyeon. I know I'm dead. I'm a ghost, And I miss you, babe." Minji's face clouded over and her eyes were strangely watery, and she whispered, "Is it really you, Yoo?" Yoohyeon smiled and nodded warmly. "It's me, Minji." A tear ran down Minji's face and she quickly wiped it away with a sleeve. "No one else can see you, right?" she asked. Yoohyeon shrugged. "I'm pretty sure Gahyeon can see me, but nobody else." Minji was about to respond, but she saw the strange looks everyone surrounding her gave her and she just nodded slightly. Yoohyeon tried to grasp Minji's hands, but her ghostly form just passed through her hands, so she had to settle with walking closely beside her. Yoohyeon remembered something and asked Minji, "Do you know where Yubin is?" She glanced at the smoke curling into the sky. Minji's heart pounded. "No. I haven't seen her since lunch started about half an hour ago. You don't think she's in the building, right?" Yoohyeon was sick to the stomach and her head felt light. "I should look for her. I can't be hurt by the fire."

Gahyeon stood in line tiredly and slouching. It had been around fifteen minutes since Yubin had been locked in the bathroom, and Gahyeon was sure she was unconscious. Gahyeon looked down at her bag and she spotted that the ball was glowing a strange yellow pinkish colour. She looked at it mischievously and grinned widely. She scooped it up from her sling bag and felt the coldness of the ball on her skin. It was so cold, it almost felt hot. The orb flared and turned a monotone red colour that radiated onto Gahyeon's hands. She lifted her chin and smiled slightly.

"Yubin!" Yoohyeon called, although she was sure that if she was in the fire, it was too late. She weaved herself through the blazing fire and saw that the flames were centred on one place, and that was one of the bathrooms in the corridor. Yoohyeon opened the door gingerly and was hit by a wave of warmth. She shivered slightly with the sudden warmth but was unharmed, and she walked into the bathroom carefully. She pushed open each stall door, they were charred and ashy, so it wasn't really hard. Yoohyeon noticed that one door was jammed shut. She slowly pulled the object out that was jamming the door and screamed. Right there was Yubin, although she looked almost unrecognisable. There were angry red burns all over her body and her clothes were jet black and fragile. Her short brown hair was burnt and broken. Yoohyeon brought a trembling hand to her open mouth and heard a quiet murmuring sound. She looked up and saw Yubin huddled up in a corner of the ceiling, with wild eyes and a terrifying expression. Yoohyeon jumped slightly in surprise and coaxed her, "Come down. Come on, Yubin." Yubin descended slowly, not taking her eyes off Yoohyeon's white (or at least was white) bloodstained dress.

When Yoohyeon had dragged Yubin out of the bathroom as she had adamantly refused, she put a strong hand on Yubin's shoulder and looked right in her wide eyes. "Come with me." Yubin shook Yoohyeon's hand off her shoulder violently and stammered one word.

"Gahyeon."
