I'll never let you go~Chapter 17~ How to get rid of ghost?

*A day before the school open*

Kyung Mi’s POV:

Tomorrow school will be open. But the problem is that ghost keeps haunting me till now! Urggghhhh! I want my beauty sleep back! I’m tired of this! How will I wanted to cast that ghost out from this place?! Oh wait.... the library! Maybe I could find some something that can rid of the ghost! Yes! You’re genius Kyung Mi!

I quickly ran upstairs and went to the west wing. The library was at the first room of the west wing hallway. I opened the door and went to the bookshelves; one by one. I searched high and low, until I found a very big, old book. Hmmm..... How to get rid of ghost.... yup... I found the book. It was at the end of the library which it was a little dark and quiet here. The book was a bit dusty, so I blew the dust away before I picked it up.

With all my strength, I brought the book to the front to the reading section. When I got to the nearest table that I can reach, I almost slipped the book which then it smashed on the table and made a very loud thud and echoed in the library. Phew! Lucky it doesn’t fall on my feet, or else I can’t go to school tomorrow!

I flip on the page one by one until I found a suitable one to use:

How to get rid of ghost in traditional way?

Let me see what it says:

1. Crack a window in each room of your home and take a dried bundle of sage and "smudge" your home clearing out any negative or stagnant energies. Smudging is simply lighting the sage bundle, making sure you have a safe receptacle to catch the ashes in, and walking around your entire home allowing the smoke to circulate and cleanse the energy and space.

Okay... I think I can get the sage at the nearby shop. Next:

2. Being firm and unemotional, walk around each room of your home, while saying
loudly and firmly, "This sage is cleansing out all negative energies and spirits... all
negative energies and spirits must leave now through the windows and not return." Do
this until you sense the negative energy has gone and the room's energy lightens (to
a positive - look for peace) and then say, "In the name of God, this room is now
cleansed." Know and sense this.

Mwo?! I have to say that? Aish, in that case, I have to do it in the middle of the night where everyone had slept soundly. And the last thing that the book says is:

3. Remember not to worry about how you sound if you stumble on your words. The
main thing is your intent, which is your faith.

Remember not to worry about how you sound if you stumble on your words? Okay, this makes me worry. What if that it doesn’t work at all?! Aish Kyung Mi! Have faith will ya! If you want to get rid of the ghost, then you just have to have faith! ==

Onew’s POV:

I was at the top one of the bookshelf; lying and facing downward, near the table where Kyung Mi’s at. Oh my..... It looks like someone is trying to get rid of me. Did I haunt her that bad?

*FLASHBACK*

No One’s POV:

Kyung Mi was in the bathroom; brushing her teeth before she went to bed. When she was brushing her teeth....

*SQUEK SQUEK* *HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

The water from the bathtub taps suddenly flow down without anyone turned it on. She looked at the bathtub in shocked. Without hesitating she quickly went to the bathtub and turned it off. When she went back to the sink, the taps head spin slowly by itself and the water flow down again. This time, she didn’t dare to stay in the bathroom for so long. She quickly washed her mouth and turned off the bathtub tap back and get out from the bathroom.

She jumped into her bed and covered herself with the comforter; shivering.

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! *

Someone knocked hard on her bedroom wall.

“Aish! What do you want from me?!” she said under the comforter.

*SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH! *

This time she heard someone scratching the wall.

Kyung Mi can’t do anything but just covered her ears tightly so that she won’t hear that sound until she felt into her slumber.

She thought that if she felt asleep, that ghost won’t bother her, but she was wrong. He came in her dreams, pleading her for help.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

Oh right, I forgot. But it wasn’t so bad, isn’t it? I’m just checking whether the water is cold or not but she turned off the tap when the water ran down on my hand. And for the wall, I just wanted to make sure that her pictures on the wall does not fall down if there’s a loud knock on the wall, and there’s a spot which makes me wanted to scratch it away. Is there anything worst than this? Hmmmmm.....

*FLASHBACK*

No One’s POV:

Kyung Mi ran to the swimming pool and sat at the side of it so that she could play with the water. Without realising around her, there’s ‘someone’ was watching her. She seems to engross with the water when suddenly there’s a plop sound made at the water. She stopped playing with the water and looked around her. There’s nothing but only her at the pool. She sighed heavily and stood up.

But when she was about to walk away from the pool, she heard another plopping sound but this time with a splash sound.

She quickly turned back and saw that the middle of the pool was bubbling. She quickened her breath and she clenched her fist. She was still staring at the water when her eye caught a sight at a strange object that was about to arise from the water.

Her eyes widened and she quickly ran away from the swimming pool.

*END OF FLASHBACK *

At the swimming pool huh? I was sitting at one of the tree branch near the pool and I accidentally broke one of the twigs which it fell into the water and made a plop sound. Then another twig fell into the water, which make me want to look down and without noticing, I accidentally fell down into the water. When I wanted to rise up, I was bubbling in the water which made Kyung Mi a bit fright. Well it’s just an accident though. I didn’t mean to scare her.

Aigoo Kyung Mi, you never know that any spells or rituals won’t hurt me. Oh well, its look like we’re going to meet each other soon enough.

I'll never let you go~Chapter 16~ Someone send me an angel...

3 Years after

Onew’s POV:

*Sigh* It’s been 3 years people, I repeat, 3 YEARS! I’ve been stuck as a ghost and what’s worse is that I still can’t find who murdered me! I can’t stand it any...

*SCREEEEETCH~!*

Yikes! Aish, that must be Shin Dong Hyung. He went out just this afternoon and right now he’s back.

I looked out from my bedroom window and I saw....a girl????? Who’s she? I felt very curious so I flew down the stairs and stand behind Hangeng Hyung who was waiting for her at the front door.

The girl walks to the door and Hangeng Hyung introduced himself with a bow. I looked at her; from head to toe. She looks a bit younger than me I guess. She wears a simple but lovely short sleeve white dress and wears a pair of spectacles (I think there’s no powers on the glasses.....==). She has a flawless skin and a pair of dark brown eyes. She has a light ash brown wavy hair that was past her shoulders and she had long legs. I can tell that everything at her is natural, not like girls in my school; almost everyone had plastic surgeries. All I can say about her is.....she’s really pretty.

“Annyeong haseyo. I’m Kim...”

“Kim Kyung Mi. I know. We’ve all been expecting you to come. Anyway, welcome to your new mansion.” Hangeng interrupted before she introduced herself. Kim Kyung Mi eh? Hmmmm.... let me see how you can help me find my murderer.

*At night after dinner*

Since she arrived here, I kept following her around. And I found out something we have in common...SHE LOVES CHICKEN TOO! ^^ In the evening, she went to my old chicken coop and yeah, I met Ri! Oh how I miss him so much! I keep living in my own room and wandering around the floor for about 3 years, and haven’t went out for a very long time! I never know that he can see me. Well, animals can see ghost right? Aigoo, really forgot about it. Ri’s reactions make her a bit jumpy. She thought that Ri wanted to attack her, but actually he just saw me and wanted to land on me.

Oh never mind then, I hope she will take care of Ri too beside helping me to find the murderer. Omo, she’s going upstairs now. I better get going.

I flew upstairs and when I reached up, I landed on the floor to walk. It’s been a while I haven’t walk. Well, what do you expect for? If you can fly, you might want to fly rather than walking right?

She was walking through the south hallway; towards my room...I mean her room now. Aish, looks like I have to share my room with her. She looks very tired, maybe she didn’t rest after the long journey. I think its better that she knows that I still live here even I’m already dead. At least I have some friend to talk.....Whoops!

*THUD! THUD! THUD! *

Ouch! Aigoo, I accidentally step on my own shoe lace and trip over until I made into a summersault. I’m still clumsy even I’m a ghost. == Omo! She turned back. Does that means she heard that I fell just now? She then continued her walk towards the bedroom. Hmmm... How about another test...

*KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK~! *

“Hello? Is anyone there?”

Hehehe...this looks kinda fun. How about I just play around first? Then I’ll show myself to her when time is come. Well, I do always want to scare people like this. She started to walk fast and I purposely made a tromping sound. When she stopped, I stopped too. I can see her getting scared already, and she quickly ran towards the bedroom. She closed the door and locked it. Aish, silly girl. Even you locked the door; I still can get through it. I flew towards ‘our’ bedroom and went through the door. She was in the bed already, covering herself with the blankets. Oh well, I guess I’ll be watching her sleeping tonight. FYI, ghost don’t sleep at all, cause we’re dead already~ ==.

I'll never let you go~Chapter 15~ Angel beside me

3 years before

Onew’s POV:

I woke up from my slumber and realised that I was on the floor. I rubbed my eyes and stood up to look around where am I.

Yup....I’m still in my chicken coop. And I’m not dead yet! Yippie!!! Everything that was just happen is just a drea.....

“Master? Are you in there?”

Omo, it’s Hangeng. He must be very worried that I didn’t come home yet.

“Here I am hyung! In here!” I shouted so that he can hear me in the coop.

“Master? Where are you? Don’t you try to do something fool to me. I know that you like to make me startle.”

“I said I’m in....” wait... I’ve already shouted as loud as I can. That’s impossible if he can’t hear me. Unless...

I looked at my back and there I am. My dead body was lying frozen on the floor and was covered with my dark red blood. I sat for shock and silently, tears ran down from my cheeks. I can’t believe it....I’M DEAD!

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” I screamed until my lungs collapsed but still it was no use. No one can hear me.

“Onew~”

A soft voice called me from my back. I turned around and saw a lady with white robe and a hood. I can’t see her face, but I do know what she wants from me.

“Noona, are you going to take me to the heaven?”

The lady makes her curved lips to a smile.

“Anni. You can’t go there yet.”

Huh?! What? I’m dead and I can’t go to heaven?! Then what? Being a ghost wandering around my mansion and haunt people?! ANDWAE!

“Why not noona?” I asked curiously.

“Because your soul is not in peace yet. You need to find out who killed you and then you can go.”

MWO?! Find out who killed me?! Seriously it gonna take me for years!

“How can I find the person who killed me? Don’t tell me that I have to find it by myself.”

“Anni, you’re not going to. In fact, you need to ask help from the person who’ll moved in your mansion after you died.”

Huh?! Someone will move into my mansion after I died?! Again...ANDWAE!!

“Oh yes Onew. You like it or not, you must let him or her move in. Or else nobody can help you.”

-__- Okay, she can read my mind.

“Yes I can read your mind. I’m an angel for heaven sake.”

“Yah Noona! Stop reading my mind! It’s creepy though.”

“Mianhae, but I can’t help it. Well, that’s our speciality you know.”

“Noona, why? Why only the person who moved into my mansion can help me?”

“Because he or she can only see and hear you. Only you can decide whether you want them to hear and see you or not.”

“It’s not fair! I don’t want to!”

We broke into silence. I’m still not satisfy what had that angel had told me. Then I heard Hangeng hyung was crying loudly beside my dead body. I turned back and looked at him. He was weeping and hugging my dead body. A sudden sorrow felt in me. I looked at the angel back and she was still smiling.

“You better made your decision. Or else you’ll be staying here as a ghost forever.”

*SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! *

Wind blow heavily on my face with a very bright light beamed on me. I cover my face because it was too bright to look. When the light was gone, the angel was disappeared too. She left me with no choice but to agree that I’ll let someone move into my house and help me find who had murder me.

*The Next Day*

Onew’s POV:

I was at my funeral ceremony. All my friends come, including my workers too. They mourned and cried. After the priest gave his last prayer, my coffin was brought into the ground and they buried it slowly.

I saw my four best friends; Taemin was with Key, while Minho was with Jonghyun. . My heart broke as I saw their sadden face. Taemin was weeping and he was almost wailing but Key had consoled him first. Minho and Jonghyun was always cool but I can see their sad face.

“So, have you made your decision Onew?” the angel suddenly spoke at my back.

I turned around and saw the angel. I have no choice, but just nodded for the answer.

“Very well then. Just to remind you that, as long as you’re a ghost, you’re given some powers. But you need to use it wisely and only, I repeat, ONLY for good uses and to find your murderer. Arasso?”

“Noona, but....”

Before I could finish my words, she vanished into the thin air. I was left all by myself.

My quest had begun and all I need to do is just waiting for the person to move into my mansion.

>cont.<

I'll never let you go~Chapter 14~ That Thing..is such a pain in the neck!

3 Weeks later

Kyung Mi’s POV:

ARRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!!! I can’t take it anymore! It’s been 3 weeks that the ghost keeps haunting me! Since I met him in that awful dream, he won’t leave me alone! Things get even worst at night. He even tried making weird noises at night and keeps appearing in my dreams asking for my help. Every time he appeared in my dreams, I can’t run away from him! He’s like everywhere and every time I tried to hide from him, he’ll definitely found me!

...... Oh, I forgot. He’s a ghost for heaven sake! Yah Kyung Mi, you really are getting forgetting things. == Anyway, where was I? Oh yes... he even haunt me on daylight!

Seriously this whole 3 weeks, that thing had given me dark circles and eye bags! I don’t sleep well and I’m tired of it! The whole people in this house keep asking me why I look so tired but I can’t tell them about it. A lot of things happen within that 3 weeks and even though I tried to ignore it, that ghost will keep disturbing me! As long as I don’t give my answer whether I want to help him or not, he will never stop!

*FLASHBACK*

* A week after the nightmare.*

No One’s POV:

“Kyung Mi, what happen to you? You look very tired and weak.” Sunny asked Kyung Mi when she saw Kyung Mi was at the living room; sitting restlessly on the couch.

She was yawning and she had dark circles under her eyes. She didn’t have enough sleep since the day she had that awful dream. The ghost kept appearing in her dreams and almost every night the ghost haunt her by scratching and knocking her bedroom’s wall, or worst than that.

“*HUARGH!* Anni Unnie. It’s just that...I..Ummm..... slept really late at night. Reading some books.” Kyung Mi lied.

*WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPEN LAST NIGHT*

Kyung Mi was in the bathroom; brushing her teeth before she went to bed. When she was brushing her teeth....

*SQUEK SQUEK* *HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*

The water from the bathtub taps suddenly flow down without anyone turned it on. She looked at the bathtub in shocked. Without hesitating she quickly went to the bathtub and turned it off. When she went back to the sink, the taps head spin slowly by itself and the water flow down again. This time, she didn’t dare to stay in the bathroom for so long. She quickly washed her mouth and turned off the bathtub tap back and get out from the bathroom.

She jumped into her bed and covered herself with the comforter; shivering.

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! *

Someone knocked hard on her bedroom wall.

“Aish! What do you want from me?!” she said under the comforter.

*SCRATCH! SCRATCH! SCRATCH! *

This time she heard someone scratching the wall.

Kyung Mi can’t do anything but just covered her ears tightly so that she won’t hear that sound until she felt into her slumber.

She thought that if she felt asleep, that ghost won’t bother her, but she was wrong. He came in her dreams, pleading her for help.

*A few days after later*

No One’s POV:

“Kyung Mi-ah, are you alright? You seem like running away from something. Is there something bothering you?” Leeteuk asked Kyung Mi when he saw Kyung Mi was panting while leaning on the wall.

“A-Anniyo Leeteuk Oppa. I-It just that I- I was jogging and suddenly I forgot t-to bring my cell phone. So that’s why I’m running back here.” She lied with her intermittent stutter.

*WHAT WAS ACTUALLY HAPPEN TO HER*

No One’s POV:

Kyung Mi was walking to the backyard of the Mansion. She felt like wanted to explore it since she haven’t been there before. ( Woah, almost a month living there and she never had been to the backyard yet? Aish~ You must be kidding me Kyung Mi) Well, at least she had something to do rather than been haunt by that ghost.

When she reached at the backyard, she gasped in astonishment. She felt like she was at an enchanted place; or maybe some magic atmosphere, as she saw a very beautiful swimming pool. It looks like a bit in those ancient Greeks and its water has a very light blue colour.

Kyung Mi ran to the swimming pool and sat at the side of it so that she could play with the water. Without realising around her, there’s ‘someone’ was watching her. She seems to engross with the water when suddenly there’s a plop sound made at the water. She stopped playing with the water and looked around her. There’s nothing but only her at the pool. She sighed heavily and stood up.

But when she was about to walk away from the pool, she heard another plopping sound but this time with a splash sound.

She quickly turned back and saw that the middle of the pool was bubbling. She quickened her breath and she clenched her fist. She was still staring at the water when her eye caught a sight at a strange object that was about to arise from the water.

Her eyes widened and she quickly ran away from the swimming pool.

*END OF FLASHBACK *

I'll never let you go~Chapter 13~ Help me~

Kyung Mi’s POV:

Its 3 p.m. and I’ve just got back from wandering around Seoul right after we went to SM High. That school was a superb! Surely can’t wait for the school to open. I really love school! Get to meet new friends, participate in a lot of curricular activities and most of all, chicken for lunch!

Speaking of lunch, I didn’t eat lunch yet and my stomach grumbled already. I think I just had to wait for dinner then. After Shin Dong Oppa drop me at the front door, he drove the car to a building a few metres away from the house where the car garage is situated. Anyway, I haven’t been to the car garage yet. I wonder how many cars are in there. Oh well, maybe next time Shin Dong Oppa will bring me there.

Leeteuk Oppa waved at me when he was trimming the bushes. I waved back before I went inside. I went to my room and cleaned myself before dinner.

I rested on my bed and stared at the balcony until I didn’t realise that I was fallen asleep.

I woke up from my sleep and....Mwo? What was happening in my room? Everything seems dark. Isn’t its just 4 p.m.?I look at my alarm clock and it was 3 a.m.?! How in the world I fell asleep for that long!?

*FLAP FLAP FLAP! *

The balcony window curtains were flapping as the wind blow hardly. I stood up from my bed as it gave me a little startle. I walked towards it and close the window.

*TAP! TAP! TAP! FLAP! FLAP! CLUCK! CLUCK! *

YIKES!! What the.... Chicken? No, it’s Ri! How did he get up here?!

I stared at him and to my realised, his eyes were red! Omo! Is that means... NO WAY! IT HAS BEEN POSSESSED BY A DEVIL!

Without hesitating, I quickly ran out from my room. You won’t dare to stay there for long if you know that there’s an evil spirit, won’t you?

*Gasp!* the hallway seems very dark and even scarier than before! Aish, snap it out~ I must brave myself to go through the hallway. A few steps away from my room and....

*TSK! TSK! WUUUUUUUU~! *

Huh? Someone’s crying? Who is....... Yah Kyung Mi! Don’t stop walking! Ignore the cries! It must be a trap or something.

*WUUUUUUUUUUUUU~! TSK! TSK! *

The cries were getting louder and louder. I can’t help it but have to stop and searched where the sound was made.

“Hello? Is there anyone here? Hello?”

I walked to the front until I almost reached at the middle of the hallway. The cries were getting even louder as it seems that I was almost close to it. I slowed my steps, as I saw a figure; a white figure that looks like a guy, sitting while hugging his legs and crying. My heart was pounding fast and I’m almost sweating. The white figure didn’t face me and was still crying. Otokke? Should I ask him what’s wrong?

I slowly step forwards to the white figure and wanted to hold his shoulder so that I can ask him what happen or maybe comfort him. Aish, seriously I’m doing some crazy things! Trying to comfort a ghost? Pabo Kyung Mi... PABO!

I reached out my hand but when I was a few inches from him...

“Help me~” he said while still not facing me.

Mwo? Help? Help what?

“Help me~ Please~ Tsk! Tsk!”

“J-Jamsimanyo? A-Are you alright?” I asked bravely.

The guy held his head up and still doesn’t face me. Suddenly I felt uneasy and my hair starts to bristle up as the surroundings were a bit chilly all of a sudden. Uh-oh. I’m in a serious trouble! Better step back before....

“Please don’t be afraid~ I’m not going to hurt you~”

*GULP! * Otokke! That’s it. I need to run! 3, 2 1! Off I’m away from that thing! I don’t know which way I’m running to but who cares! As long as that ghost is aw...WHAT THE.....?!

“Where are you running to ~? Please stay~ I need your help~”

HE’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME?! When did he... But how did he...I stop to a halt and quickly turned away and run as fast as my legs can carry me. But unfortunately I took the wrong way!

I reached at a dead end, and there’s no way I can turned back!

“Your my only hope~ Please help me~” he said to me and this time he faced me but I can’t see his face as his hair covered his face.

Now I’m the one who need help here! He then slowly step to the front and made me step back. He’s getting nearer and nearer. I wanted to scream but my voice is stuck in my throat. I’m getting close to the wall but suddenly I felt like I almost slip from a cliff edge! I looked back and I am at the edge! Huh?! Since when we had ravine in this house! I quickly step to the front so that I won’t fall. But when I turned my head to the front, the ghost’s face was really right in front of me!

“Don’t run away from me~ I really need your help~”

I was so shocked until I didn’t realise that I accidentally step back.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I closed my eyes as I fell into it and....

*BUKKK! *

‘Ouch!’ I groaned in pain. Where am I this time? I opened my eyes and realised that I was on my bedroom’s floor. I’m back in my room! I looked at the window and my watch. Its still 5.30 p.m.! Thank God it was all a dream! A really scary dream I guess. But....... was that dream is related to what had happen to me lately? Why was the ghost cried for my help? Did he really mean too? Aish! It’s just a dream right? Or maybe.... YAH KYUNG MI!! SNAP OUT OFF IT! This place is haunted! And that ghost is actually trying to chase me away from this mansion! I can’t let this thing happen.

Starting from this very moment, I, Kim Kyung Mi, will ignore all the creepy and scary sounds that were made by that pabo ghost of this house! You think that I’ll fall for your tricks huh?! Well think again ghost. Just you wait and see.

>cont<

I'll never let you go~Chapter 12~ Disturbia~ XP

Kyung Mi’s POV:

NYUM! Bacon and scramble eggs! That’s really light up my day. I’m getting to love Daesung’s cook, seriously! I ate my breakfast while Daesung watched me eating. He sat in front of me while resting his chin. He smiled at me delightfully and it makes me a bit shy to eat it.

“Daesung oppa?” I called him.

“Nae Kyung Mi?”

“Stop looking at me like that. It makes me uncomfortable to eat.”

“Mianhae, but I can’t help it. It’s been long times I haven’t see people enjoying my cook.”

*WHACK!*

Sunny unnie gave him a whack with a fly swatter on his back.

“Ouch! Why did you do that?!”

“Stop bothering Kyung Mi. You’ll make her lose her appetite by looking at your face.” She joked.

I giggled a little when she said that. Daesung stick his tongue out at Sunny unnie and that made her a bit mad. She made a sign that she wanted to whack him again but Daesung quickly ducked his head down. I giggled again looking at his reaction. Well, they seemed to be cute together I guess.

The dining room door opened and Hangeng went in.

“Good Morning, Kyung Mi. Sleep well last night?” He asked while walking towards me.

“Ummm... Nae. Kind of I guess.” Yeah, I lied again. Bad Kyung Mi!

“Good to hear that. Anyway, just want to remind you that school will be start at the end of this month.”

School? Oh right then. I forgot. Summer vacation is almost over Kyung Mi. Aigoo...

“Nae, but I still don’t know where I’m supposing to school.”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it. Your dad had registered you at a nearby school.”

Mwo? My dad had arranged it for me? Really?

“Seriously? Where?”

“At SM High School of course. It’s just down the street from this mansion.”

SM High eh? Sounds interesting for me. I wonder how it is like to be.

“Oh, arasso. Kamsahamnida Hangeng Oppa for telling me that.”

“Cheonmayo. Anyway, have fun exploring around while it’s still summer holidays, Kyung Mi.” He said and he walks out from the dining room.

Have fun exploring huh? Well, we’ll see about that. Anyway, I’m not done yet exploring. Yesterday was just a warm up but not for today. Hehehehe...

No One’s POV:

Kyung Mi had just finished her breakfast and she went to the living room. She sat on one of the big comfy couches and look around her surroundings. Books, fireplace, big lamp, the tiger skin mat, an old candle holder... that’s all that she saw at the living room.

‘*Sigh* Nothing’s interesting here.” She thought. But before she stands up, she suddenly remembered the portrait that was covered with white sheet hanging above the fire place. She quickly turned her head towards the wall above the fireplace. Yup, it’s still there.

“I wonder why they covered this portrait.” She said.

She stood up and walked towards the portrait. Her right hand reached out to take off the white sheet and she grabbed the white sheet. She was just about to pull the white sheet and...

*SWOOOOOSH!*

Suddenly there’s a strong wind blew in her face. She let go of the sheet and looked at the window. The curtain does not move at all and the window was definitely...CLOSED!

She gulped and step back from the fireplace. She turned around facing the exit door and was ready to get out from the living room. 3,2.....1! Off she ran out from the living room. The whole hallway heard her running but she didn’t care, as long as she managed to run away from the living room.

She subsided on to the floor while panting and her hands were sweating, as she was really scared about what had happened just now. She was trembling in fear; but still, she can calm herself down.

Kyung Mi’s POV:

Woah! What had just happened anyway? The windows were totally close and how did the wind came in! See, I told ya that there’s ghost in this place. Definitely, positively, 100% sure about it! Omo! Come on Kyung Mi, be brave! You are now the owner of this place need to react fast! You surely don’t want to get disturbed by this unknown ghost!

“Kyung Mi-ssi? What are you doing on the floor?” Shin Dong Oppa asked when he saw me sitting on the floor.

I get up quickly and shook off some dust at my jeans. I tried to be cool; hoping that Shin Dong Oppa didn’t know about it. Right now, I don’t want anybody in this house know about the ghost. Not now! I mean, I’m new here right? And they were like staying in this mansion for quite so long. So they won’t believe me about the ghost story thingy. Believe me guys.

“Umm... Nothing, I’m just tying my shoe lace. Got loose off when I was walking just now.” I said, hopefully that he believes it.

“Oh, arasso. Anyway, I’m here to take you out.” He said.

“Out? Where?”

“Well, I want to show you to your new school. Don’t you want to.... ”

“Sure, why not?” I answered quickly.

Showing me to my new school huh? That’s sound a great idea. At least I won’t be stuck in this haunted mansion for the whole day. And the most important is that I won’t get disturbed by that THING!

“Arasso then Kyung Mi. I’ll get the car then.” Shin Dong Oppa said before he went out to get the car.

I watched him went to the front door until I didn’t see his figure. Finally! I get to spend my day without being disturbed by ghost!

*KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! *

Suddenly I heard a creak sound made from the living room door. I turned around, and the door was moving a little. I tried to ignore it, and quickly went out to the front door.

I waited for Shin Dong Oppa at the front door and...

*HONK! HONK! *

I turned to my right and ....OH MY GOD! He’s here with a black Maybach 57! Seriously I’m going to ride that car?! Yippie!

He stopped the car and went out to open the passenger door. Aish, I’m not dreaming am I? Finally I got to ride on my dream car! Even though my family is totally rich, still we can’t afford that car. You know that the car worth about $367, ooo don’t you? Hell yeah!

I went inside and Shin Dong Oppa closed the door. I fasten the seatbelt when he gets into the car.

“Are you ready to see your new school?” he asked.

“Nae!”

“Alright then!” he replied happily. And off we went to see SM High.

I'll never let you go~Chapter 11~ You're not alone Kyung Mi

No Ones’s POV:

Kyung Mi went out from the dining room and yawned. She looked at her watch and it’s almost 8 p.m., but she already felt a bit drowsy. Maybe it’s because of the long journey and she didn’t take a rest after the journey. She went up stairs and walked along the south wing hallway.

The hallway seems a bit quite and the lights were dimmed. Kyung Mi didn’t care about it because she was really tired so she walked straight towards her room. When she was walking, suddenly she heard something fell on to the floor from her back.

*THUD! THUD! THUD! *

Kyung Mi stopped, and looked at her back. There’s no one there but only herself. She narrowed her eyes to the hallway but still she didn’t see anyone there. She scratched her head a little even it does not itch and shrugged. She continues walking towards her room when suddenly there’s a creek sound was heard.

*KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK~!*

Again she looked back, but there’s no one there.

“Hello? Is anyone there?” she said bravely.

There’s no reply and still, there’s nobody at the hallway. Kyung Mi heart started to beat fast and she’s shaking a bit. Her hair bristled and she felt Goosebumps all of a sudden. She turned back and started walking fast.

As she was walking, she heard a tromping sound. Someone followed her from behind. She stopped, and the tromping sound was gone. She slowly continued her steps and the tromping were heard again. This time, she felt really scared so she quickly ran to her bedroom. When she reached at her bedroom, she quickly closed the door and locked it.

She was sweating and trembled like a leaf. Her sweat flowed down from her forehead and she quickly wiped it. She quickly changed her clothes and went straight to bed. She turned off the lights and quickly covered herself with the blanket. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep until she didn’t realise that she had fell into a slumber.

Kyung Mi’s POV:

I woke up when the sunlight beamed on me; didn’t realise that I’ve fall asleep. I sit on my bed and looked at my alarm clock. MWO? It’s 9 a.m.? I never woke up that late. Maybe it’s because I’m too scared about last night. Seriously, I think that there’s ghost in this mansion. But, why the people in here never told me about it.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Someone knocked my door. Maybe it’s Sunny unnie.

“Yeoboseyo?”

“Kyung Mi-ssi, its Sunny Unnie. May I come in?”

See, I told you it’s her. I got off from the bed and went to open the door.

Sunny Unnie was holding a feather duster and a vacuum cleaner. I guess she wants to clean up my room.

“Good morning Kyung Mi-ssi. Sorry to wake you up at this time.” She greeted me.

“Morning unnie. Anniya, I’ve already awake and just lay back on my bed.”

“Ummm...May I come in, Kyung Mi-ssi?” she asked while she pointed into my room.

“Oh! Sorry unnie. Of course you may come in.” I said while giving her a way.

She entered my room and started to dust the bookshelves. She was standing on her toes to reach the top of the bookshelves; well she’s quite shorter than me. I looked at her dusting the bookshelves while I sat on my bed.

“Did you sleep well last night Kyung Mi?” she asked while dusting.

“Ummm.... sort of.” I answered hesitantly.

“That’s fine. Well later on you’ll get used to it.”

Get used to what? You don’t say about the scary sound I heard last night.

“Ummm...Unnie?”

“Nae. Waeyo?”

“Did you walk at the south wing hallway last night?”

“South wing? When?”

“Ummm... around 8 p.m. if I’m not mistaken.”

“Well no Kyung Mi. I was washing the dishes on that time. Why?” she asked while she switched on the vacuum cleaner.

“N-Nothing. Nothing at all, just asked. Woah, well you look at the time. I better get shower now.” I said; trying not to mention about what I heard last night.

“Alright Kyung Mi, I’ll be cleaning the room. If you need anything, just call me.”

“Nae.” I said while reaching my towel and went into the bathroom. I felt a bit awkward when I entered the bathroom. Well, it’s so spacious and I felt like I’m going to take my shower with maybe someone looking at me. Geeeez. Having spacious bathroom isn’t a great idea.

I undress myself and put the towel on and went into the shower room. Luckily it’s frosted glass. I put the towel on the towel rack and turned the shower tap. I let the cold water from the shower head flow down onto me. It’s really nice when you had shower early in the morning. It makes you feel very refreshing! Hmmm... I wonder if they had...

*KTAK! KTAK!*

I turned off the water. What was that? I think I heard a small bottle fell on the floor. Oh well, maybe it’s not stable. Just ignore it Kyung Mi. Maybe it’s just...

*SHRIIIIIIIING!*

*Gulp!* I think that’s the bathtub curtain. Someone had pulled it. Someone?! There’s someone else in the bathroom! OMO!

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

I screamed as loud as I can and quickly put on the towel and went out from the shower room. I looked around the bathroom but there’s no one there. I looked at the bathtub; the curtain was covering the bathtub. My heart was pumping fast and I went near the bathtub. I slowly reached the curtain and was ready to open it. I closed my eyes and...

*SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*

I opened my eyes back and looked who’s in that bathtub. Huh? What?! There’s no one in there. And the window was closed too. There’s no one in here but who pulled the curtain just now?!

*KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!*

“Kyung Mi-ssi! Are you alright in there?” Sunny Unnie was calling me from outside of the bathroom. She sounded very worry.

“N-N-Nae Unnie! It’s just that there’s...ummm... spider in the shower room.” I hardly replied and yes, I lied to her. I don’t want to make her worried about it.

“Okay, are you sure that you’re alright?” she asked again to get my assurance.

“Nae. Don’t worry unnie, I’ll be fine.”

“If you say so, then I’ll be going down now. I’ll let Daesung know that he needs to prepare breakfast before you get down, okay?”

“Nae. Kamsahamnida unnie.” I heard her walking out of my room and a sighed in relief.

I sat on the floor, thinking. First, there’s someone following me to my bedroom, but when I looked back there’s no one there. Now, someone pulled the bathtub curtain and again, no one’s there!

Is there someone trying to fool me around or maybe just my imagination? Man, I don’t think I’m still jet lag until I’m hallucinating things. Calm down Kyung Mi, calm down. Everything is going to be alright right after the end of this day.

Sunny’s POV:

I went down to the kitchen to see what Daesung is up to. It’s a little strange when Kyung Mi asked about if I was at the south hallway last night. Maybe she heard someone’s footsteps I guess. I better asked Daesung about it. Maybe he’s the one who’s walking at the south hallway. Well, he’s the only person in this house who will walk while stomping his feet when he’s really tired. That’ll make the whole floor heard his footsteps.

I opened the kitchen door and...

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Sunny! Help me!”

Daesung was standing on a chair while lifting his striking pink apron. Okay, what it is this time.

“Yah Daesung, what happen?! Get down from that chair!”

“Anniya!”

Urgh! For heaven sake, what’s with this guy anyway?

“And why is that?”

“Because THERE IS A MOUSE IN THIS KITCHEN AND IT’S RIGHT UNDER YOU!”

I looked down and there’s a little white red eyed mouse was at between my feet. The mouse just stood at me and it didn’t move. I bent down to get the mouse and put it on my hand.

“EEEEEUUW! You touched it! Eeeeeeeuw! Eeeeeuuuw!”

“Yah! It’s just a mouse, and it’s harmless. See?” I said while showing the mouse to Daesung.

“Kyaaaaaaaaa! Get that thing away from me and my kitchen!” Daesung said while looking away from the mouse and lifting his apron a bit higher until it almost hides his head.

“Fine then, geez. You don’t have to act like a girl.”

I opened the backdoor and set the mouse free. I looked at the mouse until it disappeared into the bushes. I closed the backdoor and looked at Daesung’s relief.

“Kamsahamnida, Sunny.” He said while getting down from the chair.

“Don’t mention it. Anyway, I was wondering if you had prepared Kyung Mi’s breakfast. Have you?”

“Ummmmm... Not yet, but I’ll make it quick. Is she awake?”

“Nae. She’s in the shower. She’ll get down in any minutes.”

“Arasso~”

Daesung quickly turned on the stove and put the frying pan on it. He waited for the frying pan to heat up and then, put cooking oil. He then cracked a few eggs on the frying pan and cooked it. Well, I guess he’ll make scramble eggs with bacon for Kyung Mi. I sat on a chair and watched him cook.

“So, did Kyung Mi sleep well last night?” Daesung finally spoke.

“Kind of I guess.” I replied. Then suddenly I remembered that I wanted to ask him if he was walking at the south hallway or not.

“Daesung, did you walk at the south hallway?” I asked.

“Anni. Waeyo?” Daesung said while busy cooking Kyung Mi’s breakfast.

“Nothing, it’s just that Kyung Mi heard someone was walking at the south hallway and she thought that it was me. I thought it was you, that’s why I’m asking.”

*KTING! KTING! *

Daesung’s spatula dropped and he didn’t move.

“Daesung? Are you okay?” I asked while stood up from the chair.

“Don’t you think that there’s....?” He paused.

“There’s what?” I asked curiously.

“*Gulp!* Ghost?!”

“Yah! Don’t be such a big mouth! There’s no such thing is a ghost.” I said trying to reassure myself. I don’t like ghost! It really scares me.

“Then? Whose footsteps that she heard last night? Seriously, it’s not me.”

“Nan mollayo.”

“Yah, Sunny. You know that since our master died, no one dares to walk at the south hallway especially at night.”

“....”

“Sunny? Hello?”

He’s right. No one dares to go to the south hallway except Hangeng. Well, our master’s bedroom is at the south hallway but since he died, none of us dare to go there.

*SNAP!*

Daesung snap his finger and I realised that I’ve been silent and thinking about it for long time.

“Huh? Wae?” I asked.

“Oh, never mind then. Just to remind you that Hangeng told us not to tell Kyung Mi about our master. Arasso?”

“N-Nae. Ummm...hey Dae, I’ve just remembered that I need to clean up the living room. I better get going.”

“Arasso, see ya.”

I went out from the kitchen and get going to the living room while wondering about what had Daesung said. Suddenly I’m starting to fear about it.

Master, did you come for your revenge?

>Cont.<

I'll never let you go~Chapter 10~ Ri

Just to let you know that above one is June and the bottom one is Ri

Kyung Mi’s POV

I was eager to go to the big old coop and hopefully there are chickens in there. Seriously, I love chicken! I’ve a pet chicken when I was 8 years old and its name is June. She’s a Chantecler breed, a rare breed of course. I took good care of it and I won’t let anybody hurt it, but unfortunately June died because of bird’s flu. Because of it, my mom won’t let me have another chicken as pet; scared that we might infected by the virus.

I walked into the coop carefully so that I won’t step anything sharp on the floor. The coop was even scarier in the inside than it’s outside and what’s worst was there are no chickens! I sigh in disappointed and ready to get back in the mansion.

As I was turning around to exit the building, suddenly I heard a loud thud from behind. I startled and turn back to where the sound came from. There was a sack full with grains fell onto the floor and luckily the sack was not torn. My heart was beating fast as I was really surprised to hear that sound. I walked towards the sack to pick it up and put it where it came from. As I was picking up the sack, I heard a loud flapping sound from above. At first I thought that it was only a pigeon that was flying by the coop, but then I heard a cluck sound above me. I was very delighted when I looked above and saw a very big, white rooster on the roof plank! Omo! It’s a white Leghorn chicken! I wonder where he came from since the coop was already abandoned.

“Here chicky! Here chicky chicky!” I called the chicken to come down from the roof plank. The chicken just stood there and looked into my eyes. I felt a bit strange that it just looked into my eyes without moving an inch. Suddenly the chicken spread its wings and flaps it hard. It then clucked and crowing out loud. I felt a bit scared because the chicken was still looking at me.

My hair bristle all of a sudden and that makes me more frightened to be in the coop. I turned to the exit and ready to walked back home, but the chicken got off from the plank and land right in front of me. I freeze at where I was, and gulped. I tried to get away from it but it was no use. The chicken steps to the front slowly; every time I step back. I had no choice but to stay in my position.

When the chicken reached at the front of my feet, again, my hair bristle and I felt a bit chill as it was like there’s a ghost right behind me. I turned to my back to look if there’s someone at my back, but nobody’s there. The chicken gave another loud crow and I looked back at it.

Its head tilt to right and back to the left slowly. This time, it didn’t look at me but looked at my back. Now I’m scared and curious about it! I slowly walked to the side; trying to escape from the chicken. The chicken was still at its position and I managed to get out from the coop before it realised I’ve escaped.

I let out a relief sigh and wipe my sweat at my forehead with my hand. I looked at my watch and...Omo! I’m late for dinner! Without wasting time, I ran back to the mansion. Hopefully they won’t get mad at me.

Hangeng’s POV:

Where on earth has she been? It’s almost dinner time and she’s not home yet. I’m so worried! If she’s not here in 10 minutes I’ll...

*Kreeek.Thump!*

Omo, that must be her. It sounds like she was in a rush.

“Welcome home Kyung Mi. Dinner will be served in five minutes” I greeted her.

Kyung Mi was panting and I can see her sweat running down from her forehead. Is she running from something?

“K-K-Kasahamnida Hangeng Oppa.” She said while she was breathing in and out fast. She was leaning on the door and then subsided to the floor. Seriously, what’s happening to her anyway?

“Umm...Kyung Mi? Are you alright?”

“N-N-Nae. Waeyo?”

“Anni. It’s just that you seem like running away from something.”

Kyung Mi eyes widen when I said that. She then tried to talked even she was huffing and puffing.

“Well, first I ran to get here because I was really late for dinner. Secondly, there’s a chicken suddenly try to attack me or something.”

I suddenly felt like there’s a lightning struck on me when she said chicken.

“You mean Ri?” I asked her with my eyebrow lifted.

“The white Leghorn rooster? That’s Ri?” She asked to get my assurance.

“Nae. Waeyo?”

“Nothing. A bit curious about it I guess.”

“ Arasso. Anyway, you should get going to the dining room now. It’s dinner time. We’ll talk about it later.”

“Nae Oppa. Kamsahamnida.”

I watched her going to the dining room until she entered the dining room. I wonder what she was doing in the coop anyway.

No One’s POV:

Kyung Mi entered the dining room and Sunny was there; waiting for her. She was standing beside a chair at the end of the table. She smiled at Kyung Mi sweetly at her and Kyung Mi smiled back. ‘Good thing that I manage to get in here in time. It’s really bad if I didn’t. I have to make a good impression as a new master here.’ She thought.

“Kyung Mi-ssi, you’re just in time.” Sunny said while she pulled the chair for Kyung Mi.

Kyung Mi just nod and she sit at the chair slowly so that Sunny can push the chair to sit.

“Kamsahamnida unnie.”

Sunny then took a white cloth on the table and flip it. She then puts it on Kyung Mi’s laps.

“Kamsahamnida.” She said again.

“Cheonmayo Kyung Mi-ssi.” Sunny replied.

The table was set but the foods were not there yet. Kyung Mi waited for the foods when suddenly she saw Daesung was holding a round silver plate with cover on it went into the dining room while spinning and humming a song. He then stopped at the middle of the table and made ‘walla’ sign at Kyung Mi. Kyung Mi giggled at him and clap her hand. Daesung bows and walked towards her.

“Dinner, is served.” He said while he puts it on the table. He then opens the cover and there’s a very delicious t-bone steak with black pepper sauce.

“Bon appetite.” He said again.

Kyung Mi almost drooled seeing the delicious T-bone steak. She set her prayers and ate the T-bone steak.

‘Omo! It’s delicious!’ she thought.

When she had done eating the T-bone steak, Daesung brought another dish; chicken salad! Kyung Mi was very delighted and she ate the chicken salad happily. Well, she really loves chicken though. Before Daesung brought the dessert to her, Hangeng came into the dining room and walked towards her.

“How’s the dinner Kyung Mi?” he asked.

“U-Umph it’s delicious!” Kyung Mi replied while she chewed her food. She then swallowed it slowly so that she won’t choke it. She wiped her mouth with a cloth and she faced herself towards Hangeng.

“So Kyung Mi, what brings you to the coop just this evening?” Hangeng asked her.

“Ummm....well, actually I thought that there’s chicken in there. So I went there to check it out but unfortunately there’s no chicken.”

“Ah, I see.”

“But in the end, I found Ri. It seems like wants to attack me or something.”

Hangeng let out a chuckle and he covered his mouth when he realised it.

“Who, Ri? Why did you say that? He never attacks people.” He said in disbelief.

“Yes he did. He suddenly stares at me and crowing and flew down from the plank and land right in front of me.”

“I guess he wants to get to know you.” Again, Hangeng let out another chuckle.

“Yah Oppa, I’m serious.” Kyung Mi said while she folds her arm and pouts.

“Fine then.” Hangeng said while he walked to Kyung Mi’s right side.

“Anyway, why’s there only Ri in that big old coop?” asked Kyung Mi while she turned herself to her right side.

“Umm...you see Kyung Mi. That big old coop actually was full with chickens. But it all died one by one until what were lefts was Ri itself.”

“Die? All of them? Why?” Kyung Mi asked as she was a little shocked when Hangeng told her that.

“I-I don’t know. Maybe they missed their owner so much I guess.” Hangeng replied hesitantly.

“Mwo? Why? Where is their owner had been?”

“Nobody knows. He’s been missing for about 3 years and never come back.” Hangeng replied with his voice a bit sank.

“Oh, arasso.”

Not long after that, Daesung came and brought a small tray with a bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup topping and sprinkles on it. He held the tray with his one hand and walked towards Kyung Mi when Hangeng pulled him slowly to the side.

“We need to talk.” Hangeng whispered to Daesung.

Daesung just nodded; understands what had Hangeng told him. Hangeng then walked out from the dining room and Daesung walked back towards Kyung Mi and gave the bowl of ice cream.

“Here’s your dessert Kyung Mi. Enjoy.” Daesung said while smiling ear to ear.

“Nae. Kamsahamnida Oppa.”

“So, how are the dishes anyway? Were it good?”

“Uhuh... They’re delicious! You’re a great cook Daesung Oppa! I really love it.”

“Kamsahamnida for liking it. I really appreciate it.” Daesung face turned crimson red when Kyung Mi praised him. He never gets a praised like that from a girl anyway.

Daesung was busy talking to Kyung Mi when he saw Hangeng was waving at him to distract him. When Daesung saw him, he made a sign to tell him to go out for a while.

“Umm... Kyung Mi. I think I should go now. Hangeng’s calling.” He said while pointing at Hangeng.

Kyung Mi looked at the door and looked back at Daesung. She then nodded and Daesung bowed at her.

Daesung left Kyung Mi alone at the dining room and went out to the hall; where Hangeng was waiting for him.

Daesung’s POV:

Hangeng hyung wants to talk with me and he seems very serious about it. I wonder what he is going to say. He was waiting for me near the stairs while leaning at the side of it. He then walks towards me when he saw me before I get near the stairs.

“Hyung, what is it?” I asked when he was right in front of me.

“Did Kyung Mi ask anything about our master?” he asked me with his voice in a slow tone and in a serious way.

“Anniyo. Waeyo?”

“Listen Daesung, don’t ever, ever tell her about master Lee Jinki. She mustn’t know about it. About who’s the owner who lived here before her, why he’s missing and most important is she mustn’t know that he’s been killed. Arachi?”
