soyou: this is such a demanding request

soyou: but i was wondering if you can reply me if i ever send you a message later on at midnight...?

jeongguk: what for?

soyou: you're not going to believe me

jeongguk: just spill it 

soyou: okay here we go

soyou: so

soyou: i actually have this uncontrollable ability to see ghosts and for some reason, you're the only person who can help me with that problem. like whenever you reply my messages, the ghosts disappear into thin air. like they're gone from my sight. and that's a huuuuge, huge relief for me because you really have no idea how scary some of them look and how threatening they can be. 

soyou: sorry that was quite a huge chunk

jeongguk: do you... need to see a psychiatrist?

soyou: tried.

soyou: she was the one who seemed even more freaked out than me.

jeongguk: then that's it

jeongguk: you're a certified nutcase

soyou: jeongguk... ):

soyou: just once, please

jeongguk: but you always come back for more. do you ever realize that?

jeongguk: ... i'm sorry but please please please don't ever contact me again.

soyou: is there something wrong...? did something bad happen today?

soyou: this doesn't sound like you

soyou: where's the jeongguk that would tease and joke around?

jeongguk: that jeongguk is dead. 

jeongguk: bye.

soyou: wait

soyou: tell me what's wrong

soyou: trust me, i'll do my best to help you !!

jeongguk: trust you???

jeongguk: look

jeongguk: i don't know you and you don't know me, okay? am i your dog that comes running when you need something? i know you came with a motive. i've always suspected it. but i didn't know it was this big, y'know? spiritual stuff? how am i supposed to help you with something i don't even believe in?

soyou: i've never thought of you like that

soyou: never

jeongguk: tomorrow's the death anniversary of my older brother.

soyou: oh no

soyou: i'm so sorry

jeongguk: i don't even know if he's dead or not. he just left one day without a word. told me he'd come back in an hour but i waited for him in the snow for goddamn 16 hours. it's not the hunger that consumed me nor the fatigue that i felt. not even the fact that i nearly froze to death. 

jeongguk: it's the faith that i had in him. 

jeongguk: that he wouldn't leave his 7 year old brother.

jeongguk: and i don't think i'll ever trust anyone anymore to be honest.

jeongguk: i don't even know why i'm telling you this

jeongguk: for god's sake, please just leave me the fuck alone. 


...



soyou: ... okay.

soyou: and i'm sorry.
