Move In

Jaeho was driving on his way to move into his new house, followed by his aunt and uncle who was driving in a separate car helping him bringing his belongings. Ever since he became a final year student, he told his aunt that he wanted to stay outside of the campus with a reason that he will end his life as a student soon and he wants to start looking for a job once he graduated. Ever since his parents stayed in the overseas due to work, Jaeho was living with his aunt and uncle ever since his high school days. Therefore, he was thinking that since he has grown up and will be graduating soon, he has thought of living alone trying not to burden his aunt and uncle.

After driving for a few minutes, finally they've arrived. As soon as Jaeho arrived, the neighbourhood felt somewhat familiar to him. It's like he was there before.

*have I been here before?* thought Jaeho while looking at the neighbourhood.

"Jaeho-ah, should we load all of your belongings?" asked his aunt, Mrs. Park.

"Yeah we should aunt~" answered Jaeho as open his car boot and took out a few bags. With the help of his uncle.

Both of his aunt and uncle had thought of him as their own son. Might be because he had been living with them since his high school days and also they don't have their own child. Jaeho too has thought of them like his own parents and he is much closer with them compared to his parents.

As soon as he entered the house, there are a few furniture left by the previous owner.

"You're lucky you didn't have to buy any furniture. It's completed~" said Mr. Lee and Jaeho nodded.

"If it's not completed and too far from your campus, I won't let you leave us~" said Mrs. Lee making Jaeho smiles.

"Aunt Lee, gomawo~" said Jaeho as he hug her.

"You should thank my friend Mrs. Choi for letting you stay here. If it's not her, I still won't let you stay here too." Said Mrs. Lee with Jaeho still hugging her.

"Have you told your parents about you're living here?" asked Mr. Lee and Jaeho nodded.

"Yeah, they agreed. Don't worry~" said Jaeho.

Then, the three of them starts to unpack his stuff such as clothes, toiletries and a few other house appliances. Jaeho was on the second floor, sweeping the floor. While he was busy sweeping the floor, he felt that someone has been watching him from his back. He decided to turn his back and what he noticed is that a white figure was trying to hide away from him behind the white door not too far from where he was standing.

Jaeho noticed that the door was slightly open. But when he almost reached to touch the doorknob, he noticed that his uncle has reached the doorknob first.

"Mr. and Mrs. Choi have informed us not to touch this door because their belongings are in here." Said Mr. Lee as he closed the door.

"A-alright." Said Jaeho with a smile.

"Come on now, your aunt has cooked us something~" said Mr. Lee as he led the way.

*I swear I saw a figure in white just now.* thought Jaeho as he takes a look at the door before he went downstairs and he can't stop but to be curious about the door.

****

Right after his aunt and uncle, bid him a goodbye and left the house, Jaeho starts to unpack his clothes to put in the closet. While he was so into his clothes, his phone was ringing and it was a call from his parents.

"Hi mom, hi dad~" greeted Jaeho as he took a sit on the bed.

"Are you still unpacking?" asked Mrs. Lee

"Yeah, but almost done. I just had my dinner just now with Aunt and Uncle…." Said Jaeho.

"Son, are you okay with living alone?" asked Mr. Lee and Jaeho nodded.

"Dad, don't worry… sooner or later I need to stay alone, too…don't want to burden them anymore…" answered Jaeho.

"Glad that Mr. and Mrs. Choi left the house so that you can use it instead…" said Mrs. Lee.

"You know them too?" asked Jaeho and his parents nodded.

"We somehow got to know each other too… but never mind. Make sure don't skip your meals and please eat a proper meal too. No instant noodles all the time, alright?" said Mrs. Lee.

"I promise mom… don't worry… Aunt Lee will be sending me some food from time to time like kimchi and other things~" said Jaeho.

While he was video calling with his parents, he noticed a girl in white figure ran past his door. It was in the middle of the night and he had a goosebump. *it couldn't be…a ghost, right?* thought Jaeho. It's not that he's afraid, he felt scared if he disturbs that 'thing' place or something. Because he just moved in and there even a room that he couldn't enter.

"Mom, dad." Called Jaeho as he went back to look at his phone screen. "If you all know each other… do you perhaps know about this one room that I can't enter in this house?" asked Jaeho.

"They've told you?" asked Mrs. Lee and Jaeho nodded.

"Don't worry, but please do not enter alright? If I'm not mistaken, they have locked the door before they left and it was actually a store room… they said its some of their stuff that they wanted to leave there…" answered Mr. Lee

"What's wrong, dear?" asked Mrs. Lee and Jaeho shook his head.

"Nothing mom… just asking…" said Jaeho.

"Alright then, you can continue to unpack your clothes and go to sleep, alright?" said Mrs. Lee

"Goodnight and we miss you~ we'll be back to visit you soon." Said Mrs. Lee before she ended the call.

--------------------

It's been a few days Jaeho has been staying in the house and he kept on seeing that white figure running and trying to hide away from him. He thought it was just an illusion. Because ever since he got into and accident, he has seen things. Such as a girl, sitting and smiling next to him. But he has no idea who was the girl in his illusion. He has met the doctor and told him about his problem and the doctor just told him that he needs a lot of rest but it wasn't helping him at all.

While Jaeho was in the kitchen making some hot coffee for his breakfast, he got a call from his friend asking him to hurry because they wanted to do some revision for their quiz later.

"Okay okay I got it. I'll be there in half an hour." Said Jaeho as he ended the call. As he left the kitchen for a while to take his bag, he noticed that his coffee has been slightly moved from the place he put the mug. He looked around the house trying to find the figure in white, but it was nowhere to be seen. *weird* thought Jaeho. Without having any other thoughts, he drinks his coffee. Right after he finished it, he took his bag and went out from the house.

***

The quiz has ended so Jaeho and his friends decided to have their lunch at the café in the campus because they still have a few classes later and couldn't make it in time if they have lunch outside.

"Yah, how's the house? Is it okay?" asked Saeron.

"Yup. It's good. But…" said Jaeho as he stares at his food remembering the figure in white.

"But what?" asked Hyukjin who was sitting in front of him.

"Nothing. It might be just an illusion to me." Answered Jaeho.

"y-you still have an illusion of that person?" asked Saeron.

"I think so… but this time, it felt so real… I haven't seen its face, but all I know that figure has been trying to hide away from me… it was dressed in white." Said Jaeho.

Both Saeron and Hyukjin looked at each other making Jaeho felt weird. "What's with that look?" asked Jaeho.

"Yah, could it be a ghost?" asked Hyukjin.

"G-ghost? Pfttt" laughed Jaeho. "Yah, there's no such thing. Plus, I'm not even afraid of it." said Jaeho in a cocky manner. He's an ulzzang, the popular guy in the campus. Afraid of ghost? That is so not him.

"Yah, I think it's true… if not, why must it dress in white and been following you in the house?" asked Hyukjin.

"Did you see anything moved when you place something?" asked Saeron and Jaeho suddenly remembered his coffee mug this morning.

"What's wrong with things moved?" asked Jaeho.

"Could be that thing man… it tries to scare you off~" said Hyukjin as he crossed his arms.

"Okay I'm done with this conversation. Let's get ready to class." Said Jaeho as he took his try and put it on a trolley followed by Hyukjin and Saeron laughing lightly at him.

"Yah, wait for us!" shouted Saeron.

***

Jaeho straight away went home right after his class ended. As soon as he entered, he places his bag on a couch and took a seat. He let out a sigh after tired of using his brain in the class and took his phone to order some delivery food for dinner. Right after he made the payment, he went to take a shower. While he was walking to his room, he looked around the house and the white figure is nowhere to be seen. Then, he took a glance the white door, it was tightly closed. *I guess it's just my illusion* thought Jaeho.

A few minutes later, right after he took a shower, the doorbell rang and the food delivery has arrived.

"Thanks." Said Jaeho as he took the bowl and closed the door. Then, he put the food on the table and went to the kitchen to wash his hands. While he was washing his hands, he felt that someone was watching over him. Once he turned his back, he noticed the figure had ran to the stairs.

"Wait!" called Jaeho as he ran towards the stairs to catch the figure. But once he reached the second floor, he saw nothing. However, he noticed a hem of white dress was hiding behind the door in his room.

*a girl?* thought Jaeho and went near 'it' quietly. He was feeling nervous yet curious to know how it looks and thought this wasn't just an illusion anymore and this is real.

Without it notices, Jaeho tip toed and went behind the door and saw it.

"Found you." Said Jaeho with a smirk.
