“Some people were dear to us And some were dream to us”
Myung-He's POV
Ahhhh!!!” That painful scream frenzied me. I ran back to follow the sound.
“Let me go!!!!." The sound of scream came closer and clearer.
I was going the same way as the stranger and saw a bulky stranger dragging the young man away in the darkness.
My vision was too muddled with constant raindrops hitting my face to see their faces.
I froze in place. oh my god what was I supposed to do?
"Hey leave him alone!!," I shouted louder and I doubted if it passed over the rain’s sound.
Gathering all the courage up I walked back heading to the spot. The road was empty and there was no sign of anyone. How am I supposed to save him?
When I was a few feet apart with my wobbling legs I saw the man still trying to wiggle out from the rest of the man. He was struggling to keep the ground.
Oh, my heart hurts. I can't bear the sight any longer. I felt as though somebody was viciously attacking someone very dear to me.
Ah! Then the primitive sense of protecting and defending came to my senses.
I know I'm no longer myself.
I had to do something to save him!With that strong desire in my mind I rushed over to the young beautiful man.
"Leave him or else I'm going to call the police!," I give a warning. I earnestly wished the attacker let him go from my words.
While I was rushing over, right in front of my eyes something so strange and unbelievable happened.
The two of them started to go fainter and lighter like a transparent figure. Gradually, like ashes, they disappeared.
"Eh...!?" What was that?!
Then, as I approached the place, there was nothing there.
Not the beautiful man, nor the attacker.
A sudden loss came over my heart. I felt my heart was ripped apart.
No...What am I seeing?
"What was that?" As I stood there stunned the rain came to a complete stop.
The surroundings were like there was no rain in the first place and my body was still soaked to bone ,water dripping from my skin. Except for the little puddle formed around me, one would have doubted if there had been rain.
Shivering in the cold I stood there shocked.
Nothing at all, l was left with the wind.

"What's wrong? You've been so quiet."
Even after a hot bath and changing into other clothes, my feelings hadn't brightened a bit. I was all gloomy.
Where did he go? Why do I feel so sad about it? it's not that I did anything to hurt him!.
When I sank into the chair of the cafeteria room and stayed there looking depressed, Jeongguk seemed worried.
"Are you angry? Because I left you behind?"
"I'm not," I am not sad about it any more, it is something else that saddened me. I'm confused, scared. I felt left alone.
In conclusion my emotions were all over the place.
What was that? Could a living person just vanish like that? And not just the person, the rain had vanished too.
"I'm sorry. I should have been nicer to you Myung."
"That's not it, it's not you Gguk"
"Then what? Talk to me, you're so distant. I am sorry to leave you behind, but don't be so distant."
"It's okay, stop apologising."
If I told Gguk about what had happened, I knew he would laugh at me. I couldn't talk about it.
"Hey, Tell me what's wrong? if you don't confess I'll leave you on the other side of the mountain next time."
"No!, Don't do that!." This school might be small but the land it sat on was quite expansive forest.
“I have nothing to talk about,” I couldn't tell him I may have seen a ghost, when I knew that he thought that ghosts were nonsense made up by scaredy cats. He would laugh at me.
I didn't want to be laughed at by Jeongguk.
"I'm going to bed early."
“If you wish then. I think you are exhausted, Myung. See you in the morning for breakfast.”
I went upstairs and into our dorm room. I sat on the spring mattress and sighed.
"Ah, it was so real, it's hard to think I just imagined it."
I was not good with ghosts, monsters, horror, slasher movies and the such but it hadn't felt particularly ghostly, so I seemed to have missed my 'wah, I saw a ghost! moment. But I was ready to faint at any moment too. I was not that courageous, more like a very sensitive person.
Jeongguk missed it. Having him miss it was having an effect on us.
Normally, I'd have immediately gone and told him all about it regardless of his response and he would make me feel better. This time, I felt I couldn't do that.
So I decided to sleep. Sleep, and when I woke the next morning I'd forgotten all about it.
Having decided, I slid into bed.
But.
"I can't stand it." My body was soaked with sweat. It was raining in my dreams too.
The heavy downpour had been falling in my dream. Lightning had been flashing creepily across the inky black sky and I just couldn't sleep through it anymore.
The sight of trees that looked as though they could stab the sky silhouetted against the light when the lightning flashed was pretty memorable.
And creepy too.
I'm more delicate than I thought. Things that bothered me ended up in my dreams. "Ah, this is no good. I can't sleep like this."
