Chapter 1
Unfinished BusinessHeechul knew that he is definitely dead right now. He actually came from his funeral just this morning. What he still doesn’t understand is why he is still here.
He had been lurking around for several days now. He had watched how his family and friends continuously wept for him. It was sad to actually see these himself.
