“Besides, I never took my earphones off. How on earth did you hear something that was always in my ears?”

… … Really?

When I recall, Choi Dong-hyun had his earphones plugged in the whole time, so Lee Jae-ha had no chance to hear.

That is, if Lee Jae-ha were an ordinary person.

“ha ha ha.”

It was clear that some sort of ghostly power had been used.

Perhaps I had unconsciously enhanced my hearing, so I could hear even the slightest sound from the earphones plugged into other people’s ears.

Even without an explanation, both Lee Jae-ha and Choi Dong-hyun could tell that fact.

“anyhow.”

Choi Dong-hyun looked at Lee Jae-ha, who was smiling awkwardly, then smiled lightly and continued speaking.

“I took it off because it didn’t seem to be very effective.”

“……sorry……?”

“I’m sorry. I was so shocked.”

Lee Jae-ha just avoided eye contact and smiled at Choi Dong-hyun, who spoke half jokingly and half seriously.

“Let’s get ready to go now. He’ll be here soon.”

Choi Dong-hyun said, looking at his watch.

The family of the landlord was about to come when they heard that the order was completed. I could hear a delighted voice on the other end of the phone saying, “Really?!”

“Okay! I’ll pack my bags. … … Oh, I don’t have any… … .”

Jaeha Lee, who was about to head to the room he had been staying in, said, “Oops.”

There was no way a ghost could have anything to carry.

He knew he was dead, but since it was only yesterday that he found out, he often forgot about it. So he even forgot for a moment that this house wasn’t a real Airbnb and that he wasn’t on a trip.

“You easily forget things like this, but you never forget that you can’t play the piano… … .”

While Choi Dong-hyun was packing up his things and leaving the main room, Lee Jae-ha pouted and pressed the piano keys. Lee Jae-ha swallowed his regret as his fingers passed right through.

Then, Jaeha Lee turned his head and a Jenga box caught his eye.

Lee Jae-ha’s eyes sparkled. He had something ‘his own’.

“Brother! Are you going to take Jenga too?”

“I have to take it.”

If I left it here, the landlord’s family might have been suspicious and uncomfortable.

It’s also questionable whether Jenga is necessary for exorcisms, since if it were really used for exorcisms, it would be a possessed object.

Well, looking at what Lee Jae-ha is doing now, he really is a possessed being.

“Can I take it?”

Choi Dong-hyun said no to Lee Jae-ha who asked with sparkling eyes.

“Then you get caught by people. You got caught by a kid at the mart too.”

How can I hear it? Can I hear it?

Lee Jae-ha, who had been staring at the Jenga box with a serious expression, suddenly raised his head at Choi Dong-hyun’s words.

“You got caught!?”

“Then why did you think the kid was surprised?”

“… …Seeing the toy?”

Or is it because of me?

As he spoke, Lee Jae-ha recalled his memories from back then.

Come to think of it, the little boy’s gaze seemed to have been subtly directed at Jenga, not Lee Jae-ha or Choi Dong-hyeon.

“… … Are you surprised by Jenga?”

“Yeah. I can’t help but be surprised when Jenga floats in the air. I worked so hard to hide it… … .”

Choi Dong-hyun said as if sighing.

He kept holding onto the side of the grocery cart that Jaeha Lee was pulling so that it didn’t look like it was moving on its own, and when Jaeha Lee was sampling (of course, the food didn’t disappear) or picking out items to put in the cart, he covered it with his body so that he wouldn’t be noticed by those around him.

Because everyone would be surprised to see an object floating in the air by itself and then entering a cart.

‘I don’t think they’ll turn back the CCTV on purpose.’

If there were no issues such as theft or incidents, the CCTV would simply be stored and then deleted.

“I thought it would be enough to just block the adults’ view, but I never thought about blocking the children’s view.”

The little boy’s gaze looking up from below was caught by the wind that he had not even thought of covering up.

“Maybe the reason he threw a tantrum to his mom was because he wanted to buy her a toy that was floating in the air.”

“… … Kids are really… … fearless.”

A toy box floating in the air.

Aren’t you scared?

Lee Jae-ha, who was letting out a sigh of admiration, soon recalled his own appearance as he was happily wandering around the mart. He also remembered Choi Dong-hyun, who looked exhausted as he came out of the mart.

It wasn’t that she was tired from shopping, it was that she was tired from hiding Lee Jae-ha from people.

“… … You’ve worked hard, hyung.”

“You worked really hard. I thought that looking around the mart you visited for the first time would help you ascend a little, but instead, it became so vivid that I even had to use my strength to play Jenga.”

Lee Jae-ha’s eyes widened as Choi Dong-hyun spoke with a crooked smile.

“That power… …was this power?”

“Yeah, but you didn’t know.”

Every time the Jenga tower was about to fall, Lee Jae-ha would use his ghostly power and telekinesis to hold it back, and even Choi Dong-hyun, who was playing Jenga without much thought, got drunk and ended up concentrating.

But in the end, Lee Jae-ha won.

“… … I cheated.”

“Okay. You didn’t know you were working hard.”

“Still… … .”

It was the first game I played with a friend.

Choi Dong-hyun, who had been looking at Lee Jae-ha’s gloomy appearance for a moment, said.

“We can do it again later.”

“Later?”

“Then you were just going to decorate it?”

Lee Jae-ha’s face lit up as he heard Choi Dong-hyun talking while looking at Jenga.

“Then let’s invalidate last round and grant the wish of the winner next time!”

“Okay. Okay then.”

Of course, Dong-Hyeon Choi had to grant Jae-Ha Lee’s wish for his ascension, and Jae-Ha Lee was a ghost who couldn’t grant Dong-Hyeon Choi’s wish, so it was a useless bet, but Jae-Ha Lee was happy just to play the game one more time, so he didn’t bother to think about it.

“Wait here while I bring your luggage to the truck.”

“yes!”

While Choi Dong-hyun moved the Jenga boxes and luggage into the parking lot, Lee Jae-ha looked around the house that he thought was an Airbnb.

“There was something like this.”

Only now have I noticed family photos and other cute, old items that seem to hold old memories, things that you wouldn’t find in an Airbnb.

I felt a surge of regret.

“Dong-Hyeon hyung.”

“why?”

Lee Jae-ha called Choi Dong-hyun, who was back home and walking around here and there, cleaning up even the slightest dust.

“I want to apologize too… … but I can’t, right?”

“I think you’ll be scared.”

Choi Dong-hyun shook his head.

Even if the content was an apology, if I played the piano or wrote something in a sketchbook or something, the family of the landlord who had been haunted by a ghost for a while would definitely run away from the house.

Lee Jae-ha, who understood her feelings, nodded with a gloomy face.

“I will explain it well.”

“Please, bro.”

After a while.

The doorbell rang, signaling their arrival.

How would it feel to have someone ring the doorbell at his own house? Lee Jae-ha’s heart became complicated.

Choi Dong-hyun, who had been looking at Lee Jae-ha with a look of apology on his face, opened the front door.

A couple and their son appeared, their faces filled with a mixture of fear and anticipation. They were also holding each other’s hands tightly.

‘It’s them.’

Jaeha Lee looked at the landlord family with a quiet expression, whom he had not recognized until then.

Choi Dong-hyun, who was quickly examining Lee Jae-ha (because he knew that if he stared into space, the landlord’s family would be scared), opened his mouth.

“You may come in.”

“Me, really?”

“Yes. It’s all finished.”

The three families, whose fears had subsided at Choi Dong-hyun’s words, entered the house.

Lee Jae-ha’s gaze followed the family’s joyful appearance as they looked around their ‘home’ that they had finally returned to.

“It’s still the same. I heard it might break a little… … .”

My husband, remembering what Choi Dong-hyun had said beforehand that something might break while doing physical exorcism, said:

“Yes, but it took some time.”

Choi Dong-hyun continued speaking.

“As I told you, I ate some food from the refrigerator and used the room for a few days. I cleaned everything up, so don’t worry.”

“It’s okay. You can eat all of it if you need to get rid of it!”

Lee Jae-ha flinched at his wife’s words.

that.

It is clear that he is referring to the ghost Lee Jae-ha.

“It feels like the house has gotten a little warmer. Has it really disappeared?”

My son, who was looking around the room, came out and said this without even noticing Jaeha Lee, who was right next to him.

That was normal.

“Really… … it’s not there anymore?”

The family, Choi Dong-hyun, and the invisible Lee Jae-ha gathered in the living room and talked.

It seemed as if even his wife, son, and even his husband were still afraid, avoiding the direct word ghost.

“Yes, that’s right. It won’t appear again, so don’t worry.”

Choi Dong-hyun spoke with a serious expression.

Exorcisms were important, but it was also Choi Dong-hyun’s job to finish them in a way that put ordinary people, who could not see or touch ghosts, at ease.

In the beginning, there were often cases where people complained that they had nightmares and that the exorcism was not successful due to their worries.

“Thank you. Thank you so much.”

All three families expressed their gratitude with such joy that they almost shed tears. At this, Lee Jae-ha’s shoulders became heavy with regret and apology.

‘Why did I have to come to this house?’

When I looked at their faces, I realized they weren’t people I knew.

That was something the family was curious about too.

“But do you know why that ghost came to our house?”

“That’s right. I don’t really have a grudge against anyone.”

“Did we do something wrong? Or, what, did we do something damnable… … .”

The family wondered if they had been possessed by a ghost because of an action they had taken without realizing it. If so, they wanted to hear from an expert, as this could happen again in the future.

“curse…….”

That’s not it… … .

Choi Dong-hyun opened his mouth after glancing at Lee Jae-ha who had become gloomy.

“I think you were just unlucky.”

“… … Luck?”

“Yes, it was just a coincidence.”

At those words, not only the landlord’s family but even Jaeha Lee looked puzzled. Jaeha Lee thought Donghyun Choi was making up excuses.

“The spirit that appeared in this house loved the piano very much. As you have heard, he played it day and night.”

Lee Jae-ha’s gaze, filled with regret and reminiscing about the gloomy piano performance, turned to the piano placed on one side of the living room, then back to Choi Dong-hyun.

“I think it was while I was wandering around that I heard the piano melody coming from this house.”

That’s right.

The family looked dumbfounded.

“I was really unlucky.”

“That’s right. Among other houses, there must have been a place where the piano was played… … ”

Lee Jae-ha and his family thought that they were really unlucky.

But Choi Dong-hyun’s words did not end there.

“And, I think I’ll stay here after seeing you all.”

“… … Us?”

The husband, wife, and son blinked.

Lee Jae-ha had the same expression.

“Yes. While performing an exorcism, I learned a bit about the soul’s past, and it didn’t seem like a very happy family.”

……ah.

The eyes and mouths of the three families sitting together affectionately opened slightly. The same was true of Lee Jae-ha, who was sitting alone a little further away.

“I think he wanted to stay here after seeing you all happy. His soul was the same age as my son.”

Choi Dong-hyun’s explanation was too touching for Lee Jae-ha to be just an evasive remark.

So much so that forgotten memories suddenly came back to me.

Lee Jae-ha stopped right there.

The image of a son happily playing the piano and his parents watching him play with gentle expressions came to mind.

Even though he made mistakes and got the beat wrong, the son continued playing without getting scolded. The eyes of the parents looking at him were filled with warmth.

What a happy scene this is.

‘I want to live in a house like this.’

Jaeha Lee, who was wandering around without a destination, had been thinking that way without even realizing it.
