I'm Scared 3

Author: Thank you for reading 'He's Special To Me'

     *******👻👻******

"Special One? What's that?"

"Huh?" Sung Yoon asked stupidly, "What's a special one?" Hae Jin asked again. Curious and interested to know.

What was this special one? And.... who was Chae Joon?

Well, now wasn't the time to know about Chae Joon. Maybe later. Right now, he was more interested in knowing what a special one was.

Maybe knowing about that will help him with his situation.

"Ah, you don't know what a special one is. Right" Sung Yoon said, thinking about where to begin.

But Hae Jin didn't think he had all the time in the world. He wanted to know what this special one was now!

"Sung Yoon, I don't have all the time in the world" Hae Jin stated annoyiny, drawing Sung Yoon out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, wow, I didn't know you're a businessman. Huh, you can't even step out"

Hae Jin rolled his eyes, "Way to open up my wounds. I know I can't step out!!"

"Now, isn't it great when we reach an understanding?" Hae Jin rolled his eyes again, annoyed. "Please just tell me"

"Fine. So, a special one or should I say, special ones, are for ghosts who need help. Purposely born for ghosts like you" Sung Yoon pointed a finger at Hae Jin, watching as his eyes widened in shock at her words.

"Ghosts who need help to find out their past life or to settle their unfinished businesses"

"So, what exactly are these special ones?"

"What else are they? Of course they're humans" Sung Yoon said, looking at Hae Jin like he was stupid.

What the.... What exactly was wrong with the question he asked?

*Sigh, he sighed.

"So, special ones are humans. I get it thanks"

"Good"

Special ones are humans. Humans chosen for ghosts who have unfinished businesses to settle. Ghosts who have no recollection of their past life.

Ghosts like him.

Meaning, he will be able to get back his past life and settle all his unfinished businesses (That's if he even had one). This was great news!

All these years he has been trapped this house, not once did he think about finding out about his past, his families and friends. He was more concern about the fact that he was trapped in this forsaken house.

However now, he wants to know about his past. Wants to know about his families, friends!

What were they doing now? Did they ever think about him? Did they miss him........

He wanted his special one.

Hae Jin turned to Sung Yoon's direction with a smile on his face. Surprising Sung Yoon.

"Special one, how do I find my special one?" Oh, that was it. This was the reason for the smile on Hae Jin's face.

Sung Yoon smiled, "I understand you. You want to know about your past life, your families and friends"

"Yes. How do I find them?"

"Well, Chae Joon did say......." Sung Yoon paused in her words when she saw the questioning confused look on Hae Jin's face at the mention of her friend, 'Chae Joon'.

"Oh, right. You don't know Chae Joon"

"Who's he? You mentioned him before"

"Yeah, that bastard! He left me when he found his special one" Sung Yoon exclaimed angrily, only calming down her anger when she looked up at Hae Jin who still had that confused look on his face.

*Sigh, she sighed.

"Chae Joon..... I thought of him as my friend" though, she had no clue what Chae Joon thought of her.

Probably as a nuisance. Right, that had to be. Recalling that annoyed look he had on his face every time she was around him, that had to be it.

Sung Yoon shook her head, getting out of her thoughts before continuing her story.

"Chae Joon was the only one I could speak freely to. He was the only one I was comfortable with. The other ghosts in the cemetery were too unwelcoming and unfriendly. I was literally scared of them!. But Chae Joon....he was different"

"Even though sometimes he ignores me when I speak to him, he was still welcoming" Hae Jin smiled.

"But he left me without even saying goodbye. I had to find out about him from one of the depressed unwelcoming ghosts that he left. That too, with his special one"

Uh, poor Sung Yoon. Hae Jin felt bad for her. The only one by her side left without her notice. Without saying goodbye.

He didn't know how that felt.....well, he had no memories on how that felt but he could say, that it wasn't a good feeling.

"Special ones are humans. Humans.......... I know every ghost desires to feel like human at least once in their life (As a ghost) before they crossover. And Chae Joon is no different. I understand but he shouldn't have left just like that. I might be a ghost. I should not be having these emotions but you know,....." Sung Yoon looked up at Hae Jin with so much sadness in her eyes, breaking Hae Jin's heart.

"I still have feelings. I still get hurt when I'm left alone"

"I understand you. I do" Sung Yoon nodded, sniffing as she wiped the tears that made its appearance at some point while she was talking out her feelings.

Poor Sung Yoon. He understood her. Hae Jin had no memories of being left behind by someone important to him but he understood her. He did.

"Enough about Chae Joon. So, any questions about what I said?"

"Ah, sure, yeah, yeah. So, how do I find my special one?" Hae Jin repeated his question from earlier before adding another question "And how do you know a human is your special one?"

"Well, Chae Joon. He's the one who told me all about the reasons why a soul would still remain or get stuck in this world and also about special ones. I learnt a lot from him, I must say. And about your question, he said, one (a ghost who needs a special one) would know when they meet them"

"I don't get. Is your special one the only human that can see you" Sung Yoon let out laughter, "Ah no, they're the only human that can touch you"

"Oh, I see"

"You know, there are humans that can see ghosts, talk to us but can never touch us. That's why God designed these special ones for us to notice when they're able to touch us. You can also touch them. If you're able to,....."

'Without using any powers' Sung Yoon said in mind but didn't dare speak out. Using powers to touch humans was a very dangerous technique to use. That's why it was a secret to some ghosts. Hae Jin must not know this. That's the only way he'll be able to find his true special one.

And..... It seems he also doesn't know how to use his powers either anything about it. That was good.

Touching a human without using powers meant they're your true special one. 

And that's what Hae Jin deserves. A true special one.

"Then you're know. That they're your special one"

"Because ghosts can't touch humans" Hae Jin said, and it was more like a statement than a question which, Sung Yoon replied to.

"Right, because ghosts can't touch humans" a sad smile spread on Hae Jin's lips at the thought 'Ghosts couldn't touch humans' Even though some humans could see them, hear them, they still couldn't touch them.

Damn! It was so hard being a ghost.

"Also," Sung Yoon said, getting Hae Jin out of those depressing thoughts as he looked up at her.

"Every ghost who needs a special one has only one. If you lose them, that's the end of you. That's all I know" and a deep frown made its way on Hae Jin's face 

"What do you mean that's all you know?" Sung Yoon let out laughter, "What you mean? I don't need a special one. I already know how I died, why am still in this world. So, why would I want to know more about that?" 

Gosh!, She was right but still.....he had to say Sung Yoon was so annoying!

"Haven't you heard of gaining knowledge?"

Sung Yoon rolled her eyes, stating "Oh, come on, I was never a model student when I was alive"

Oh, great! This was just great!

*Sigh, Hae Jin sighed, a smiling coming on his lips as he thought about finding his special one "Well, any case. You've already given me great news! Now, I just have to find my special one." That way, he will be able to recover his lose memories.

He didn't know how that was going to happen but he believe it will.

"How will you find them? Yours could be anywhere!"

'For all we know, he or she isn't even born yet' Sung Yoon thought but kept her thoughts to herself.

She didn't have the heart to extinguish the burning fire of determination and happiness within Hae Jin at the thought of finding his special one.

"I don't care! I'm going to look for him or her!!"

Determined, decisive and overexcited, Hae Jin hurriedly got up, beaming with happiness.

But it didn't take long because Sung Yoon burst his happy bubble with her 'words of reality'

"That's good but aren't you forgetting something? You, can't leave this house"

Great! Way to burst his bubble!!

Hae Jin dropped himself back on the couch, looking sad, angry and disappointed.

Seeing this, Sung Yoon thought, so, in the end, she ended up 'extinguishing the fire'

"How the hell can I leave this damn house!" Hae Jin yelled angrily, disappointed and sad.

"You curse a lot, you know that? Just calm down"

"Easy for you to say. You're not the one trapped in this hellhole! You can go anywhere you want!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't come try me. My case is also serious! I don't know for how long I'll have to stay in this world! I want to leave! Go to heaven and maybe work there"

Hae Jin smiled. Sung Yoon talked as if she has been to heaven before.

"Me too" he said sadly. With the same sad expression and tone, he called out her name.

"Sung Yoon"

"What? What's with that tone?"

"I'm scared. What if I never find my special one? What if I don't ever get out of this house? I'm so scared"

"Hae Jin, you......." Sung Yoon said but didn't get to finish her sentence when suddenly, Hae Jin screamed, "Hahahah!!!" in pain, a horrified expression on his face as he held his head.

"Hahaha!!!!" Hae Jin screamed in pain again, lowering his head down while still holding it (His head) with his two hands.

"Hae Jin!" Sung Yoon called out his name. Worried, anxious she rushed to his side.

Taking a seat beside Hae Jin, Sung Yoon placed a hand on his back.

"Hae Jin, what's wrong?"

In pain, suffering, Hae Jin stammered on his words, "M ...My...h...head... hurts" he said before yelling out in pain again.

Worried, anxious, Sung Yoon desperately looked around for something to help Hae Jin but there was absolutely nothing.

This was the kind of situation where she hated the fact that they were ghosts.

No human could help them and there was no ghost around either.

She was totally useless!

Hae Jin had no idea why he was in so much pain. Why his head suddenly hurt so much or what he was seeing.

He had no idea what caused it. Neither did he know, that, this sudden horrifying confusing experience was because of the sudden appearance of a certain human around the house.
