Chapter 2
The Monster In My Head
One week later:
"Hyung! You do know that you are supposed to stay away from the people out casted by the class right?" - Jungkook questioned his dear Namjoon hyung.
"Jungkook you know I have been to a high school right?" - Namjoon questioned back.
"Yes Hyung but still I think I need to warn you. I'm still in high school so I know what goes on in there."
"Yah you first concentrate on passing your high school. Plus he is going to a university and not a high school" - Suga taunted the maknae making him go mum.
"Namjoon everything set for tomorrow right ?" - 'the mother' of the group : Jin asked.
"Yea Hyung. Everything's good to go !"
"Are you like a 100% sure hyung? Cause I don't wanna wake up at night to find you tensed up about tomorrow." - the maknae shot back at Namjoon.
"Yah! You worry about yourself first! Sometimes I seriously doubt who the Hyung is in our relationship." - Namjoon let out a huge sigh causing everyone to chuckle.
Jin Ae was sitting inside the cafe watching the nightlife take over the city. But she knew she wasn't there to enjoy the view. She was summoned there to watch a man who had lost his senses to alcohol now lose his life too.
It was around 1.30 AM when the man started walking in the middle of the road not giving a damn about the vehicles honking at him. He was lucky to have missed hitting a car by a few inches. Another car speeding through the highway started honking at the man, but the stubborn man wasn't going to move from there.
Few seconds later, there was a screeching sound made by the tires. Jin Ae closed her eyes, she didn't want to watch the scene which would leave her with nightmares. But when she opened her eyes there was no one dead. Not even a single drop of blood visible on the road.
There must be a mistake, I can't be summoned without a reason, someone should be dead by now
The drunkard was seen clutching his chest tightly and the very next second he collapsed on the floor. He was having a heart attack.
The bystanders rushed towards the man, CPR was performed but he couldn't be saved. His time was up and thankfully his death wasn't that painful.
"Where am I ?" - the man questioned looking around the cafe.
"You are here to have your dying wish granted." - Jin Ae replied.
"What here? In a cafe ? But I imagined it to be a 5 star restaurant." - the man replied totally confused on what actually was going on but he wasn't the only person confused.
"Huh?" - Jin Ae replied unable to understand what the man meant.
"My last wish..... It's to eat the most expensive beef in a 5 star restaurant." - the man confessed.
"Mwo!?"
"Yeah... See I never had the opportunity to buy myself a proper meal, all I could do was see others eat those delicious things." - he explained himself.
"Ahhh. So do you promise to return back to where you belong once you have full filled your wish?" - Jin Ae questioned.
"Yes."
And with that a deal was signed between the two, illuminating a subtle purple light and marking Jin Ae 's wrist with the same symbol.
Jin Ae got up from her dream with a sudden gasp. She checked her hand for the imprinted symbol which was clearly visible.
"So when are we going to have my wish completed?" - the man asked Jin Ae with a 1000 dollar smile on his face.
"Aajushi it's almost 2.30 AM I don't think any 5 star restaurants will be open now. Plus I need sleep desperately I can't sleep in the class tomorrow." - Jin Ae pleaded.
"So wait, what am I supposed to do till then?" - the man questioned back.
"Aajushi you are free to do anything till morning. Experience the life of a ghost for few hours but please just let me sleep."
"Aarasu~ I'll bug you in the morning then, good night " - the man disappeared into thin air leaving Jin Ae alone in her room.
Few minutes into her sleep and Jin Ae was already summoned to another place .
"Aaaaahhhhh sincha!! Not again !?" - Jin Ae yelled in frustration.
She had arrived in a back alley of some unknown place.
"Aaniiii ~ You call me out once I can understand but I seriously hate it when you call me twice in a row ! Don't you think I need sleep ?" - Jin Ae shouted at the sky. It was as if someone was playing a very bad joke on her.
But she had no other choice. She couldn't escape from there. She had to patiently wait and see whose chance it was to die.
Jin Ae could hear people yelling in the next alley. There was a pretty bad fight going on. Following the sound Jin Ae reached the site of the fight.
A group of high school seniors were picking on their classmate.The boy was greeted with continuous punches and kicks making him grieve in pain. But one thing which couldn't go unnoticed by Jin Ae was that the boy never fought back nor did he shield himself from those punches and kicks. It was as if he was waiting to be dead.
