His name was Kai
Description
When Kyungsoo wakes up, everything is fuzzy. He can't remember anything. Who is he? Why is he stuck lying in an unfamiliar bed?
He realises that he is in hopsital, and that nobody can see him. People walk through him as if he doesn't exist. Is he dead?
A boy, probably the only person around that can see him, approaches him, and they talk, and make friends. Time passed (for the love of life, Kyungsoo could never figure out how long they were together), and the two slowly, hesitantly begin to develop deeper, forbidden feelings for each other. Kyungsoo finally admits that he might have a crush on the boy.
His name was Kai.
Kai tells Kyungsoo that he is dead, and that the only reason why Kai can see him is because he's psychic. But Kai's eyes become shifty when he says that, and Kyungsoo isn't sure Kai's telling him the whole truth.
What is Kai hiding?
Foreword
"Tap. Tap. Tappa tap.
Kyungsoo looked to his right, eyes sweeping from the floor to the top of the closet that stood in the corner, searching for the source of the noise.
It was a boy lying on his side on top of the piece of furniture, wedged in the space between the smooth wood of the top of the closet and the ceiling, tapping his fingers on the wood to some music Kyungsoo couldn't hear. And he was looking right at him.
After being looked through, and unheard by everyone he'd met so far, Kyungsoo felt a warm rush of relief. Maybe this guy could tell him what in the world was happening to him, fill in some of the blank spaces in his mind that clouded his thoughts like static that made radio broadcasts all crackly and unintelligible.
'Hello?' Kyungsoo tried, not daring to hope too much. The boy's eyebrows twitched in response to his voice.
The boy swung off the closet. Kyungsoo leapt up from lying in a dejected, crumpled heap on the floor, half in excitement that someone could see he existed, half in fright that the only person who acknowledged his prescence had gone crazy and was trying to kill himself. The boy landed nimbly on his feet, and Kyungsoo let out a sigh of relief.
'Hi, my name is Kai.' The boy gave a sudden smile, and Kyungsoo watched almost in awe as his eyes crinkled up into two happy crescents.
'I'm Kyungsoo.' Kyungsoo offered, still staring.
'I know.' "
