"This is where you live?"

Kyungsoo nods and looks at the apartment he used to live with Kim Jongin. It was quite big for both of them, there a small garage and a small garden in front. Some flowers were destroyed and withered. It was not beautiful anymore.

A man suddenly appeared from the front door. It is him. Kyungsoo's Jongin. He's clutching a cup of coffee. Just like how I saw him yesterday, he's still in a bad state. His eyes still look so gloomy and the dark circles under his eyes. Screams how he didn't get enough sleep.

Kyungsoo is suddenly gone beside me. Maybe let me do what I should do for him. I slowly reach Kim Jongin, who is now looking at the destroyed plants and flowers. Kyungsoo whispered that those plants and flowers, were his greatest possession when he was alive. Jongin loves to watch him watering the plants and watching him pick some flowers, to put in a vase inside their house.

"Hi?" I hesitantly told.

Jongin looks at me with those tired eyes but still managed to form a smile.

"Hey! Good morning!" his voice sounds so tired too and my heart clench. I can feel the pain he's suppressing inside him. It's so visible in him, in his eyes. "Do you need anything from me?"

I grin. "Good morning." I sighed a lungful one before telling him why I'm here. "I'm Kyungsoo's friend. I am Byun Baekhyun" I lend my right hand in front of him.

Upon mentioning Kyungsoo's name, he flinched. Like he's hurt by hearing his lover's name. His smile abruptly vanished from his face and changed with a hurt look. I can see it through him, how bad it affected him.

"S-sorry. I-im Kim Jongin" he says almost inaudible to hear. He forced a smile before looking at my eyes again and shakes my hand. "I d-didn't meet you before..."

"Yes..... I was a friend from the province. Can I talk to you?" I look at him expectantly and when he nodded I feel relieved.

"Come in," he mutters."I didn't expect that I will have a visitor, that's why I didn't get the chance to clean. Sorry for the dust and trashes everywhere." he apologized.

I shake my head before giving him a wide smile. "It's okay. It doesn't bother me."

"Do you want some tea? Water? Coffee?"

"Coffee is enough. Thank you."

He nods and walks out to the kitchen.

I roam my eyes around the apartment. The apartment is bigger than I imagined. It has a kitchen, living room and stuff. I walked towards the TV rack and saw a picture frame, where Kyungsoo and Jongin were smiling so wide. They look so happy there and it was visible in their eyes. They were both so in love in the picture and how much more in this world. How much more when Kyungsoo was still alive?

There are so many pictures hanging in the walls. Some were their pictures together but almost all of the pictures were Kyungsoo. He seemingly loves taking Kyungsoo's picture and hang in there.

"Here's your coffee"

I thanked Jongin before taking the coffee from his hands. He smiled so wide when he saw me holding a picture frame. It was Kyungsoo pouting while holding an ice cream.

"He's gorgeous right?" he asks.

I hummed as a response. "Definitely."

"I have no chance to see that gorgeousness again. I have no chance to hold him tight and steal kisses from him again," he whispered and as if a dam has been opened, his tears started to fall furiously.

"What happened that day?" I asked, "When did he die?"

He looks at me with those tearful eyes. "Last month. He fell off from the terrace. My mom hired someone to threaten him, but it happened to lead my Kyungsoo to death." his voice was full of emotion, regret, madness, anguish, and grief. "It was my fault. I left him alone that day if I only agreed to go out with him. If I canceled my schedule and spent the day with him those things would not happen. He was nagging me that day, it was his day off so he asked me out."

"But you turned him down..."

"I did and it was the worst decision I have ever made." even how many times he tried to cover his sobs, it always betrayed him. "I promised him to go home early but when I went home, there were so many people surrounding this place. There were police, bystanders and then I saw him....." Kai broke down in front of me. Kneeling on the floor while both of his hands are trembling. Like it happened yesterday, that's how it feels for him. I just found myself crying too, I feel his pain. "H-he was there... H-he was lying dead unconscious and there's.....there's a lot of blood. Police were investigating, they didn't want me to go near him b-but I pushed them away and held my love." his words it's like a stab hurting him so badly and the incident is still vivid in his memory. Every detail of it.

"It's not your fault" I manage to say between my sobs. I wiped my tears away. "He wants you to know that it wasn't your fault."

He looks at me confused. "Who?"

"Kyungsoo." I stare at him straight in the eye. "I know that this sounds so bizarre, but I can see spirits and talk to them. I called them earthbound spirits who need to cross over. I help them to finish their unfinished businesses and when I did, they'll finally go" I sigh. "I know that it's so hard to believe but I can see Kyungsoo and I can hear him."

Jongin stood up and I saw his eyes, it's fuming. "Don't you dare use Kyungsoo's name just to lie to me." he pointed out and pushed me away. "I knew it, I really knew it. That's why I don't know you. You're not his friend and you're using him to scam me. Don't talk craps to me because I am telling you, I will call the cops."

"Please, Jongin. Just this one, believe me." he's still pushing me out of the apartment and I stumbled.

And then so suddenly, Kyungsoo is there standing on Jongin's back. He looks so sad watching his fiancé pushing me away. He gave me an apologetic look before stepping near us.

"Baekhyun, tell him the day when he stole a kiss from me at the school's rooftop." before Jongin finally pushes me out I said what Kyungsoo wanted me to tell.

"Kyungsoo said you stole a kiss from him at the school's rooftop," I said. Jongin stopped on his tracks looking at me with surprise.

"H-how did you know that?"

"Tell him that I also got mad at him because of that and I ignored him for a week."

"He said he was very upset with you when you did it. He ignored you for a week."

Jongin eyes softens when I said those words. It looks like he would probably breakdown again. Some memories flashed on him and I know, he will believe me this time. I smiled at Kyungsoo while he's crying looking at his man's situation.

"Y-you can really see him? You can talk to him?" he wanders his eyes around, hoping to see Kyungsoo.

"I do."

Kyungsoo walks to where Jongin is currently standing. He touches Jongin's face and even kisses him beside his lips. When Jongin felt the feather-like touch and kisses, he holds his face and lips. He started crying again but with a smile on his face.

"He's here right? I felt him."

"Kyungsoo is here, right beside you. He's watching you." I feel the tears starting to form up again.

"Kyungsoo, baby..." Jongin whispered. "I love you so much. I miss you so much.... Can you, can you just go back to me, please? C-can you go home already? Baby.. It was so hard without you, every day I'm waking up feeling nothing but the pain that day left me. I'm sorry.... I'm sorry for letting you die." Kyungsoo looks at me shaking his head.

"Please, tell him to not blame himself. What happened was not his fault."

I nodded. "Jongin, he
wants you to stop blaming yourself. He wants you to know that what happened that day, was not your fault."

"Tell him I love him, Baekhyun. Tell him that I love him so much."

"He wants you to also know that he loves you so much," I mutter and gave him an encouraging smile. "Jongin, you need to tell the things you want him to know and then let him go. It will make him feel better, it will make you feel better. You need to move on and let time heal your pain. Don't stick yourself in the cage you made for yourself." I glance at Kyungsoo. "You're not only hurting yourself, but you're hurting him too."

"He'll leave when I let him go, if I don't he will not leave me. I don't want him gone. I want him to stay."

"Jongin..." Kyungsoo looks at me, tears falling. "Tell him he needs to let me go and I want him to be happy without me. He needs to be happy without me because he deserves that."

"Jongin, you need to let him go. Kyungsoo will only feel pain here and he will not be happy. Kyungsoo wants you to move on and be happy. I know that it's hard, letting go of the person you have loved and you want to love for the rest of your life. But Jongin, he says he wants you to be happy because you deserve that."

"You make me happy, Kyungsoo. What are you saying? You... You make me complete. What's the sense of waking up every day, not seeing you beside me? What's the sense of going on if the person I want forever was dead? I am dead inside, Kyungsoo, and making myself happy with the thought of not having you...is hard. I can't do that."

Kyungsoo stands in front of Jongin and tried to wipe Jongin's tears away. "Y-you need to, love. You need to go on because that's how it should be. Baby, it's hard for me too but we need to accept this reality. I promise you, in our next life I would find you and marry you. I promise that, baby. For now, live your life again. Meet new people and do the things you like the most. That's who you are, my love. That's Kim Jongin I know."

I wiped my tears away, I could see the love from them. How strong love they both share. But their love needs to end here and I couldn't help them. All I could do is to help Kyungsoo cross over and then it's over.

"Jongin, he said you need to do it. You need to move on and accept this reality. He swears to find you in the next life you will both have. That he'll marry you. He wants you to live your life again, just like how it used to." I painfully said those things while trying to maintain my eye contact. "He said you should meet new people and do the things you fancy the most. He said because that's what his Kim Jongin."

"Will it make you happy, Kyung?" he asks "Will it make you fine?"

Kyungsoo smiles and kissed Jongin's nose "Yes, love. It will make me happy, but you should too. Take care of yourself and be healthy."

"It will make him happy but he wants you to be happy too. He wants you to take care of yourself and stay healthy." I let out a tired smile.

Jongin nods. "I will Kyungsoo. I will."

"I'm ready to go." Kyungsoo studies Jongin's face tracing it with his pointing finger. "I will miss you, baby. This close. Your handsome face." he chuckles. "I see the light, Baekhyun. I need to go."

"He's leaving now?"

"Yes, Jongin. He is."

"I love you, Kim Jongin." The wind blows inside the apartment, hitting us both and making us feel cold. Kyungsoo's gone, another earthbound finished his business in this world.

"He's gone now isn't he?" Jongin asks with a small smile plastered on his face.

I nodded and smile. "He's in a better place now, where he really belongs.''
