The following day…

I was awoken by the alarm that goes off every morning at 7am. Breakfast was made by my kids today.

As I heading towards the kitchen, something caught my eye.

Daejoon (son): “Dad, you’re up.”

Dayeon: “breakfast is ready.

There she was. I could see the pale and faintly figure of hers standing at the corner of the kitchen…

It was my wife, Dahye.

“Thump!” My legs decided to give way as I fell to the ground, overwhelmed with shock.

Dayeon: “Dad?”

Both of them started running towards me. I must have startled them.

Dayeon: “Dad, what’s wrong?”

At that moment, my tongue feels extremely heavy. I can barely swallow my saliva.

Joonmyun: “th-there! A- A ghost!” I pointed to where Dahye was at.

Daejoon: “Dad,what are you talking about?”

Joonmyun: “It’s your mom! She’s right there!”

Daejoon: “there’s nothing there.”

Dayeon (worries): "Dad…"

My kids thought that I was still grieving over the loss of my wife and took me to the local hospital. After the visit to the hospital, I headed back to my room to catch some rest.

Whether it is a delusion or ghost, I don’t want to see it anymore...
