“Oh, why is it like this… … .”

Lee Jae-ha tried hard to hold back the tears that threatened to fall at any moment.

“… … I don’t usually cry.”

Children who grew up in oppressed families are often unable to express their emotions honestly. Lee Jae-ha was one of them. There was no one to comfort him when he cried, and no one to ask him why he was crying, so it was natural for his tears to dry up naturally.

But now, even with mild sadness and emotion, my heart would flutter and my body would react. I wondered if ghosts had bodies.

Still, I didn’t feel like I hated it at all.

I feel like my heart is a little relieved.

“I know. As I said before, ghosts are usually a bit simple. Maybe it’s because they don’t have a physical body, but their emotions change quickly and they express it as is.”

Maybe it’s because there’s Choi Dong-hyun there who listens attentively.

‘So this is how you relieve the ghost’s resentment.’

I thought I knew why there were things like Hanpul and Gut.

It was a little funny to understand it from a ghost’s perspective rather than a human’s.

I felt like I was feeling better again soon.

Of course, since Lee Jae-ha is now aware of his condition, the change is not as great as before.

Does this ‘reason’ control emotional changes?

Still, it seemed more comfortable now that I could express myself more freely than when I was alive.

That’s good, but… … .

“But why can’t you play the piano, hyung?”

Lee Jae-ha asked with a sullen face. It seemed like he was now revealing his emotions without any intention of hiding them.

Choi Dong-hyun then said, “Hmm,” and became lost in thought.

“Maybe it’s because you found out you were a ghost?”

“… … So you found out that I was a ghost?”

“Yes. All this time, you thought you were alive. So you thought that things you could do naturally when you were alive, like playing the piano or lifting objects, were something you could do ‘now’ as well. You were naturally using powers you weren’t aware of.”

strength.

Choi Dong-hyun continued speaking while looking at Lee Jae-ha, who clenched and unclenched his fist at his words.

“But now you know that you are a ghost. And because of the accident earlier, you also learned that trucks and people pass through your body.”

“… … That’s right.”

“That made you realize that you couldn’t touch things like you did when you were alive. So you couldn’t properly use the strength you had been using unconsciously until now.”

Lee Jae-ha listened to Choi Dong-hyun’s words.

“Ghosts are quite influenced by the ‘mind.’ If you release their grudge, they ascend in the blink of an eye, but if something bothers them, they will follow you until you die.”

Unlike living people who have family, future, money, and dreams left behind and have to think about many different scenarios, ghosts only have themselves left, so they move while thinking only about themselves.

“A person who has nothing has nothing to fear or be scared of. Well, when exorcising someone, they run away without looking back.”

“Isn’t that because my brother performed exorcisms? Even ghosts know that they’re in pain.”

Choi Dong-hyun continued his explanation, laughing at Lee Jae-ha’s half-joking, half-serious remark.

“So, the reason you can’t play the piano now is because you think you ‘can’t.’”

Lee Jae-ha, who was sitting on the piano stool, turned his body slightly and looked at the white and black keys.

“… … I think so.”

How shocking it was to have trucks and people pass over and pass through his body.

It felt ‘natural’ that I wouldn’t be able to hold onto things like the piano or anything else.

Lee Jae-ha tried his best to shake off such thoughts and pressed the keys. However, it was not easy, as his fingers slid down through the keys.

Lee Jae-ha became gloomy.

“I guess it won’t work, Dong-hyun hyung.”

Choi Dong-hyun said with a smile.

“You do realize that you are ‘sitting’ on the chair right now, right?”

… … ?

… … !

Lee Jae-ha opened his eyes wide and jumped up. Just as Choi Dong-hyun said, Lee Jae-ha was sitting on the chair. He should have just passed.

“How am I sitting on the chair?”

“That’s unconscious. It didn’t occur to me that I couldn’t sit on the chair.”

If I had just walked past the chair, I might have passed.

But it was hard to imagine not being able to sit on a chair and falling on the floor with your buttocks down.

“and…….”

Lee Jae-ha sat down on the chair and stood up repeatedly with a strange expression on his face. Lee Jae-ha was still able to ‘sit’ on the chair.

“I think I know what it feels like….”

Lee Jae-ha placed his right hand on the keyboard with a slightly brighter face.

Looking back now, I didn’t even feel the cold, hard feeling of the keyboard. Lee Jae-ha smiled wryly and began to play lightly with his right hand.

I wasn’t aware of it.

I just moved my fingers like I always did.

Then his old friend, the piano, would surely respond to him.

The first few times I didn’t hear anything.

However, Lee Jae-ha continued to play.

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to recall how I played when I was alive, what the melody I heard felt like, and everything I felt at that time.

Then there was a ding sound.

Lee Jae-ha opened his eyes with a start and turned his head towards Choi Dong-hyun.

“Hey, did you hear that?!”

“Oh. I hear a noise.”

Lee Jae-ha smiled brightly at Choi Dong-hyun’s gaze as if he had done well, and continued playing with his right hand.

The melodies that came out here and there felt like a child with a few missing teeth smiling brightly, but that was okay in its own way.

“I think if I practice a little more, I’ll be able to play properly again!”

Lee Jae-ha, who was about to continue playing while saying this, stopped his hand and said, “Ah!”

“But that won’t work, right?”

The house and piano had to be returned to their eagerly awaited original owners.

‘But then… … .’

Where should I go?

Choi Dong-hyun asked Lee Jae-ha if he had the same thoughts.

“How is it? Do you feel like you’re ascending?”

“… … I don’t know what it feels like, but no. It’s just the same.”

Choi Dong-hyun looked at Lee Jae-ha, who was shaking his head, and was lost in thought for a moment.

Even though he found out that he was dead, Jaeha Lee was still the same.

I didn’t think it would cause any problems if I just left it here. If it was Jae-Ha Lee I’ve seen so far, I’d probably endure it for the sake of the living.

“Playing the piano. How long do you think you can stand it?”

“I don’t think I can stand it.”

Just looking at the way he answered without a moment’s hesitation, it seemed that Jaeha Lee, who was full of attachment to the piano, would one day learn to play the piano, that is, quite soon.

Then again, the family in this house would surely be distressed, hearing the sound of the piano.

“There’s nothing I can do.”

Choi Dong-hyun said as if sighing.

“We have no choice but to go home.”

“! Brother’s house!?”

“I can’t leave you here.”

That wasn’t a good thing for Lee Jae-ha or for the family in this house.

“I like it!”

Lee Jae-ha nodded quickly.

I felt like I could be more comfortable at Choi Dong-hyun’s house.

“I’ll tell you in advance, there is no piano.”

oh!

Jaeha Lee, who had been disappointed without realizing it, quickly spoke with shining eyes.

“It’s okay. If you really want to play the piano, you can just play the street piano we went to today!”

Choi Dong-hyun said, scratching the ball.

“That piano.”

“yes!”

“It was broken.”

“……yes?”

“You may not have seen it, but it said ‘Broken’ on the back. There was also a waste sticker attached.”

“Then how does the sound… … ah… … .”

I did it.

Lee Jae-ha, who found out the truth, slumped his shoulders.

“I thought people would listen to my playing.”

Choi Dong-hyun recalled the situation at the time.

People who saw Choi Dong-hyun standing next to the piano stopped walking.

“Do you want to play?”

“I guess so.”

But Choi Dong-hyun just stood quietly next to the piano. Quietly.

After seeing Choi Dong-hyun like that, some people left again and new people took their places.

“Is that a surprise camera?”

“Where are you taking the picture?”

And I looked around.

After Lee Jae-ha’s performance, which only Choi Dong-hyun could hear, ended, Choi Dong-hyun left.

“Can I play this?”

“Hey, I guess I’m going to throw this away. It says broken here.”

The voices of the two pedestrians talking could be heard by Choi Dong-hyun’s ears as he walked away.

“It will probably be picked up tomorrow.”

“I guess so… … .”

Lee Jae-ha felt regretful.

So if I go to Choi Dong-hyun’s house, I won’t be able to play the piano anymore? If so, how long can I endure it?

‘Oh, you can’t stay too long.’

I had to ascend quickly, if only for Choi Dong-hyun’s sake.

“It’s okay. Just ascend quickly.”

It wasn’t an easy task, but Choi Dong-hyun held his tongue for the sake of Lee Jae-ha, who was anxious.

Choi Dong-hyun looked up and looked at his watch. A lot of time had passed.

“First, let’s eat dinner.”

“Okay! I was hungry too… … Me?”

Choi Dong-hyun, who smiled bitterly while looking at Lee Jae-ha who was tilting his head, prepared to make dinner for this person as he had done until now.

One serving will just end up as food waste, just like before.

***

After deciding to go to Choi Dong-hyun’s house tomorrow.

Lee Jae-ha sat quietly in front of the piano.

Choi Dong-hyun was in the main room and it was late, so the neighbors were asleep, so he didn’t play. He just sat quietly and stared at the piano. Maybe it was because he was a ghost, but he wasn’t tired.

“… … I don’t want to go.”

Jae-ha Lee was startled by his own inner thoughts suddenly spilling out, but soon smiled bitterly. He couldn’t even remember when he had last said no.

So maybe that’s why, after speaking so honestly, the regrets that had been lingering seemed to have disappeared a little bit. Just a little bit.

“I have to go anyway.”

Even though I could have done physical exorcism, I waited for Dong-Hyun hyung, so that he could do it.

Even for the sake of the landlord family who are missing their home.

“… … I don’t know how you feel.”

Jaeha Lee, who didn’t miss home at all, put both hands on the keyboard, but didn’t play.

He simply moved his ten fingers as if he was playing a melody filled with regret.

But it seems that the ghost was still a ghost, as a sound was heard.

It was a melody created by Lee Jae-ha, not the piano.

That’s Lee Jae-ha, the ghost,

‘Playing.’

It was a performance that only Choi Dong-hyun, who could see and touch ghosts, could hear.

Choi Dong-hyun, who was packing his bags, listened to the piano music coming from beyond the wall.

Choi Dong-hyun had been sleeping on the floor next to the bed with a blanket spread out, but he didn’t use it because it was an owner’s bed.

Although Choi Dong-hyun was able to sleep well anywhere, he couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable in someone else’s house.

But this life will end tomorrow.

The landlords would also return tomorrow after living in uncomfortable temporary accommodations, and Choi Dong-hyun would also return to his comfortable home. Although it was not planned to go with a ghost.

‘I have to find a way.’

Choi Dong-hyun prepared to go to bed, thinking that he had to find another way to make Lee Jae-ha ascend other than through physical exorcism.

I heard a sound in both ears.

With my right ear, I can’t tell what song it is, but I can hear Lee Jae-ha’s performance, which sounds like a good song. With my left ear, I can hear Bach’s through the wireless earphones.

Choi Dong-hyun, who had been thinking for a moment, reached out and picked up his phone. Then he stopped playing music, took the wireless earphone out of his left ear, and put it back in the case.

Choi Dong-hyun covered himself with a blanket and closed his eyes.

Now, only Lee Jae-ha’s performance could be heard.
