February, 21, 2015 (57 days until death).

 

Luhan has been up for 12 hours. The night has turned into the day, but he's not tired; all he has are questions.

 

“Why is it that you start to disappear sometimes? Why did you you leave? Will you always leave? Is it a ghost thing?”

“Wow, okay. Maybe one question at a time.” It's funny to see Luhan so curious instead of angry.

“Why do you disappear and where do you go?”

“Well, ghosts really only stay on this...plane for about a year. The thing that ties us here usually fades or is forgotten and then we go...elsewhere. I'm not sure where yet. As you can tell, I'm still here. When I disappear, I'm not actually disappearing. I'm still here. You just can't see me. It takes a lot of mojo for a ghost to makes themselves visible to humans.”

“How can I see you, then?”

“Well, that's the thing. Most ghosts make themselves seen by using anger. Anger is something you never forget; even in death. That's when you get poltergeists or those weird haunting ghosts. I don't need that. For some reason...I'm using you.”

“Using me?”

“Ghosts can latch on to a human. It happens all the time. Sometimes it can become possession. I'm not that high caliber, though.”

“Oh...so you feed off of a human's soul?”

“Try human flesh.” Luhan's eyes widen at the answer, but he waits for Sehun to explain.

“Flesh?”

“The scratches and bruises you keep getting. That's...me. When you see me, when I touch you; it's breaking down your cells. It's kind of like an exchange. I take the juice from the living cells in your body, and I'm able to stick around. Luckily for you, you're still young. Your cells regenerate. So, your body heals. The only bad part is, I don't know how I latched onto you. So, I can't make it stop.”

“Is that why you left after the kiss? Because you were afraid you hurt me?”

“Yeah...I wanted to tell you but..”

“I didn't know you weren't imaginary.”

“I'm so sorry, Luhan.”

“It's fine. I'm sure if you would have told me all of this stuff from the start, I would have freaked out more.”

“Why aren't you freaking out now?”

“I lo-like you. A lot. It seems less crazy for me to say that now that I know you're at least half real.”

“Whole real. Just dead.”

“Yeah, it sounds better the way that I said it.”
