Ghost Lover (2)

[Hye-rin POV]

"Psst...can you hear me?" A detached voice came from my left side.

"Nuguya?" Looking left and right, I was sure there's no one around me. But who is that?

"Can you hear me?" That voice again.

"Yes, I can hear you but who are you?" My own voice is so squeaky high that I almost couldn't recognize it myself.

My hands are shaking as I quickly dialed GD's number. This had been happening for two nights in a row. And ever since that joke too.

If I didn't know it better, I'd have thought my mind flew off the right track. But I know I am sane as of this moment.

"Hye-rin? What's the matter?" His concerned voice coming through the earpiece has a calming effect to my pumping heart.

Well, well, well...that joker boyfriend of mine actually knows the meaning of concern. I thought there is no such word in his dictionary.

"I don't know how to explain this but I kept hearing this voice asking Can you hear me? over and over. And it only happened since the day we came back from that haunted house."

"Hye-rin, I've told you time and again, it's an abandoned house. Not a haunted house. Never mind."

"Whatever. But, oppa...do you hear any voices? Voices that you don't know where it came from."

"Huh? Voices? No. Are you really alright?" There. That concerned tone in his voice again. If only he is always this concerned when it comes to me. Fat chance of that happening.

"I'm fine. I guess it's only my imagination. Good night."

"Good night."

"It's alright. You don't have to be afraid of me. I won't harm you."

"WHO ARE YOU? SHOW YOURSELF. STOP THIS JOKE RIGHT NOW."

"You don't need to shout. I can hear you fine. Erm...actually...I'm only next to you."

"I...I don't see a...anyone be...beside m...me." I am glancing to my left and right but there is only thin air around me.

"That's weird. You can hear me but you can't see me?"
