When he woke up, the room was already filled with people. He refused to move a muscle and closed his eyes, tried to go back to sleep but failing as many times as he did. It was no use. Even if he pray, even if he cried to God, it was no use. He could never go back to the past.

God why did you have to do this to me?

It was 2:03pm in the afternoon when that incident took place. It was one of the most important performance of his life. He had to do it perfectly. He worked hard to come this far and there was no way he would make some silly mistake to spoil all his hard work. Yet it happened.

He was dancing with all the efforts . If he won this round he would get selected for the national competition. He had already passed eight rounds already and it was the last round that he had to pass. But nobody has any control over fate. And may be that is why, when he was dancing with his all might, his fate decided to play the trick and he fell a victim to it.

As he danced around flawlessly on stage, his head suddenly start to feel heavy. And before he could understand anything he was already on the ground. Everything before him became dark. And now that he opened his eyes, it was all over for him. And all he could do was wish for the impossible to become possible.

"Are you awake Hakyeon?"
A female voice called out. He opened his eyes to see the girl leaning towards him ,pressing her hands on his bed.

He faked a smile.

"Yes, no need to worry Eunji. I'm fine"

"Thank God! I got dead scared, " she almost fell down on her chair that was next to his bed.

"Even though the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with you, I still couldn't believe it. I mean, if you were all fine, then why would you suddenly collapse on the stage, right? That doesn't make any sense."

She spoke all that in one breath.

"It doesn't,right? " he chuckled.

I wonder why did I actually collapse?

He could feel those tiny droplets building up in his eyes. But he didn't want her to see him like this, didn't want her to see him this weak.
He covered his eyes with his right hand.

"Look! I've brought your favorite bana.. "

"Eunji... Can you leave me alone for a moment? "

He asked, trying so hard to keep his voice stable.

Eunji stared at him for awhile before finally decided to leave him in the room, alone.

Tears start to fall. He could no longer hold them in. He felt like his world just collapsed. He had no idea what to do anymore. It was almost as if he just lost all his reason to live anymore.

"Maybe I should suicide. I don't have any future anyway.. It was my last chance and I wasted it completely. There is no meaning to this life anymore. Yes, I'll just die," he said to himself.

"Don't. Not already"

A soft voice from not too afar spoke out.

Hakyeon removed his hand and looked at the voice's direction to see the owner of the voice.

A tall young man with broad shoulders and black hair was sitting on the at a corner of the room,closing his eyes. He had fair complexion and wore a fine black shirt with black pants. 3 of his shirt's button were unbuttoned. From the way he dressed up, he looked like some sorts of celebrity. But the question was what he was doing at the corner of the room.plus Hakyeon was sure that Eunji left him alone in the room.

"Umm... I was talking about killing myself. Anyway what are you doing there? "

Hakyeon questioned him while getting up from the bed and sitting on it.
.
.
No reply.

Hakyeon frowned.

"Mister, I asked you a question. What are you doing there? Who are you anyway? "

The man moved. He turned his head to see the other man with a darker complexion sitting on the bed across the room.

He seems to be the same age as me. Or should I say I was the same age as him...

He hated this thought. The fact that a person of his same age was sitting across the room alive while he wasn't made him even more angry. He just sent him a glare instead of a reply. He had fierce and intimidating eyes that made him look even more daring.

The other person did not seem care about his glare much as he also returned him one..

"Excuse me! Ain't you gonna reply? " the tanned one got up on his feet, demanding him a reply .

The fair one stood up slowly. Walked towards the other person, tucking his hands into his pockets,leaving a hand equal gap between both of them.

"You dunno who I am? " he started right into the other person's eyes.

The tanned one didn't want to lose this staring competition either. He crossed his hands while taking a step closer,

"If I did, would I have asked? " he hissed.

The fair one kept looking into his eyes trying to understand if he was really saying the truth or just bluffing. Hence he didn't see any lie in his eye, neither he saw any fear.

"You are not scared of me? " the man sounded curious.

Hakyeon frowned.

"What's wrong with this guy? Did they brought me into a mental hospital or something? "

Hakyeon eyed him head to toe before going towards the door. The white one couldn't believe it. Even when he was alive there were very few people who didn't fear him. But there was absolutely none who did not get scared by him after meeting him for the first time. Even becoming a famous celebrity did not help much .Everybody still feared him for his eyes. But the man standing before him was a totally different case. A case that he had never experienced before even when he was alive.

Hakyeon almost ran to the door. He was only four steps away and he almost fell down because of getting startled. The man standing behind him was suddenly standing before him ,in a blink of an eye. He somehow managed to keep on standing.

"Wait! Uh.. Oh... But... How did you? " he stammered.

"You really don't know my name? Or my face?" disbelief was clear in his voice.

He shook his head to let him know that he didn't know him.

"What's your name? Tell me.... I might remember..."

"Leo..."

He looked away, pretending to think about something while scratching his jaw with his right index.

"Noo. ..I'm sorry. Doesn't ring a bell..."he didn't lie.

The door opened slightly. Eunji peeked inside, seeing Hakyeon up on his feet she entered with the room with a ear to ear smile.

"You are up! "

"Ah! Eunji-ah~" he said as he passed by the taller man.

"You know anyone called Leo? "

"Leo? You mean the singer Leo that died today ?"

"Heh? No! This guy standing here is saying he is Leo and he can't believe that I dunno him,"

Hakyeon said while pointing at Leo, but to Eunji, it was nothing but an empty space.

Eunji slightly tilted her head.

"Who? "

"Him! The one standing there! " Hakyeon looked at him who was still standing there.

Eunji pressed the back of her hand on Hakyeon's forehead.

"Nah. ..the temperature is just fine. ..umm I'll get the doctor, I think. "

Eunji quickly turned to the door but soon again had to turn to Hakyeon because of him pulling her towards him by her hand.

"Why the doctor? He is just there! You can't see him? "

Eunji freed her from him and grabbed his shoulders to turn him to the empty spot that Hakyeon was pointing at, well empty to her.

"CHA HAKYEON no N! Look carefully! There's NO ONE "

Hakyeon slightly turned his head to face her,

"Eunji-ah~ but he is.."

"Forget it. She can't see me," Leo had enough of this drama.

Hakyeon turned to him. "Why? "

Leo bit his lower lip before finally deciding to reply,

"Cause I died today. "

"What are you saying? You are standing here talking to me?! How are you dead? "

Leo just rolled his eyes. His words are not going through the other man's head. So it was better not to waste any more energy on him. Hence he went back to his previous pplace, the corner, thats where ghosts live, right?

Hakyeon freed himself from Eunji and stood before a corner of his room, screaming at the wall. Eunji pulled he phone out of her purse and called someone while staring at Hakyeon till someone picked up the phone on the other side.

"Uh, Ravi... Where are you?.....Come to the hospital quickly. I think N is really sick. "

Eunji cancelled the call to put the phone into her purse before streaming out of the room.

"What do you mean by they can't see you? Yaaaaa~~~~ Explain already! "

Leo has been hearing the same three sentence for the past 12minutes while the other one sat on the bed, dangling his legs from the edge of the bed .

He told him that he was dead. But he didn't believe. And now he is too tired to even reply anymore. So he just closed his eyes and listened to the other person's nonstop blabbing.

"FORGET IT! You died today! And singer LEO died today as well! So you mean you are him! Lets just check the internet to see if you are playing a prank on me with Eunji or not. "

Wow! Why didn't I think of it.

Hakyeon froze as he saw the pictures of singer Leo. It was the same person sitting before him. His eyeballs were trembling. Leo opened his eyes and looked at him with the corner of his eyes to see the reason of Hakyeon's sudden pause. He realized the reason for his pause. He felt a little bad at the trembling figure before him. He stood up to take a step towards him while tucking his hands in his pocket.

"Don't come near! "

Hakyeom shouted as he pulled his legs up on the bed.

Leo didn't care. He came close anyway. As he came closer Hakyeon tried to move backwords on his bed. Soon his back touched the wall and he had nowhere to run.

Leo stopped right before the bed.

"Is this the courage of a man who decided to suicide? "

a slight smirk appeared at the corner of Leo's lips.

"What do you want from me? "

Hakyeon replied.Surprisingly it sounded more like a command than a question.

This man..... Does he fear anything?

Leo shook his head a little before leaning forward. N stressed a bit more, as if trying to become one with the wall. There wasn't much space left between their face. If he leaned a bit more, their nose would brush each others.

"I'm stuck...with you... For the next three months. "

His eyes had no lie in it.

Hakyeon replied in a low tone,

"Why me? "

Leo stared at Hakyeon's eyes for a moment. Curiosity was sparkling in those. Leo slowly reached his ears to whisper,

"Cause THIS is what FATE has chosen for us. Not you, not me, nobody can do anything about it. "
