Out of all the questions Minho could have asked me I never expected him to bring up the reason for how I died.
He looked at me seeming uncomfortable from the silence that had enveloped us.
I watched him fidget on the spot before speaking up again "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I was just curious but if it brings back bad memories then we don't have to talk about it"
I shook my head quickly.
It wasn't the fact that I didn't want to tell him but more to the fact that I hadn't yet told anyone of how I died and I didn't want him to think badly of me.
"I'll tell you but you have to promise me one thing before I do"
Minho looked me straight in the eyes and nodded.
"You have to promise…" I said walking closer to him as I spoke quietly as if, if I talked to loud that someone else would hear me besides Minho which was impossible because the only other person who could see me and hear me was Key.
"..That you won't think bad of me once I tell you and you can't act differently around me either. Treat me like you do now and nothing else okay?" I asked as he nodded.
"I promise" I mumbled as I backed away from him slightly.
I nodded and regained my position closely to him, leaning in close to his ear I whispered the words that could quite possibly change his opinion of me forever.
"I killed myself"
I slowly backed away from him to see his reaction.
His expression showed shock, disbelief and most of all confusion.
I knew the question that was mostly lingering in his mind after finding out the reason for my death.
Before he had the chance to ask I had laready started explaining.
"Life is hard you know. My life was especually hard, girls bullying me every day of my life, trying to keep my grades up while suffering from their physical and mental abuse. I know I should've been strong since my high school days were coming to an end anyway but with my family falling apart around me at the same time I could see no other way to escape from all of it than to take my own life. My parents divorcing ws the final straw for me. Kids expect their parents to be their rock growing up and support them when they're going through hard times but for me I didn't have that for the last year of my life. They spent more time arguing over money than noticeing the changes in my attitude because of the bullying"
Minho stood looking at me now with an expression of sympathy on his handsome face.
"The ironic thing is the day I died was also the day I was born 18 years ago" I sighed as Minho's eyes widdened even more, if that were even possible.
"Key's Birthday" He mumbled.
"What?" I asked.
"The day Key began to complain about a ghost haunting him, it was the day after his 18th birthday. By the sounds of it you were both born on the same day" Minho explained as I nodded slowly.
Well that did kind of make sence, we were soul mates after all.
With the mention of Key's name my mind whirled into over time.
"Minho, please, you can't tell Key how I died okay? I don't want him to know and it'd be so much easier if he were to never find out. I don't want him acting any differently around me" I said quickly as Minho nodded.
"Hyoli, I made a promise to you okay? I can keep my promise and your secret. I'm just happy you trust me this much to tell me about your death" Minho showed a small smile as I let out a sigh of relief.
"You know, it's funny how before I died I could count the number of friends I had one one hand but after my death I'm using both hands. I guess I have you to thank for that" I smiled.
"Don't forget Key. Jonghyun, Onew and Taemin would probably get along with you aswell if they could only see you and believe in you"
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Even Jonghyun?" I laughed as Minho turned on his heel and proceeded to walk into the apartment building we were infront of.
I followed Minho into the elevator which was positioned in the main lobby.
"Even Jonghyun. He's just all cranky like that because he's over worked and has a hard time being one of the oldest members of the group, Key doesn't really make it easier for him when he started talking about an invicable ghost haunting him either" Minho laughed as I nodded.
"But Jonghyun's a great Hyung and friend when he's relaxed and calm. He hasn't really been a hapy camper since we were forced to move into this new apartment" Minho rolled his eyes.
"Forced?" I questioned as the elevator pinged to signal that we had reached the floor SHINee's apartment was on.
"Yeah, before we moved here we lived in a bigger hostal despite the fact we all shared a bedroom. One day Key kinda left the water running while running a bath for himself when our manager called us out to fill in a spot for Super Junior on Star King and Key completely forgot about it. When we got home the whole apartment was flooded so we had to move out while the apartment is getting fixed up" Minho explained as I rolled my eyes.
"Figures, Key's the trouble maker in the group" As Minho walked to the familiar apartment door and opened it.
I stepped in and waited for Minho to slid his shoes of before proceeding into the living room.
"I don't know about that, we all have our share of trouble in the group, Key just shows it more than the rest of us" Minho said as I froze causing Minho to walk straight through me.
He quickly spun around to look at me questioningly.
My eyes were fixed on the two people sat on the couch of the living room.
Minho followed my gaze and soon he assumed the shock I was in because there right on the couch was the guy who just earlier had been telling me how nervous he was to be left in a room with a girl, and he was making out with that same girl he had been so nervous about seeing.
Somewhere in the pit of my stomach, anger rose up killing any chance of future butterflys I could feel when with Key.
"Hyoli NO!" Minho shouted as Key and Kyumin sprung apart.
Suddenly the lights of the room began to shake before shattering into pieces everywhere and the couch suddenly flipped over with both Key and Kyumin on it.
Minho stood infront of me, blocking my view.
I stepped back slowly.
"I-I didn't mean to do that" I stuttered.
It was true though, I honestly didn't mean to do that.
I lost control of my emotions for reasons unknown and just like that this mess had occurred.
"Key Hyung, are you okay?" Minho asked turning to the flipped over couch.
Just as Key and Kyumin were crawling their way out from under the couch I felt I needed to get away from this place.
I closed my eyes and focused on a place I hadn't been to in a while and in that instant I was gone.
