Motherly Ghost

Chapter 16

Ocean waves rolled, clashing against the rocky cliff where I was standing. The landscape presented before me was really stunning and captivating, something that I wish to share with Jin, but surely, that was beyond impossible.

Months have passed since the last time I saw him, and a lot has happened. I got a promotion at work, getting closer to Jimin, my ultimate crush. He even confessed to me. And today, on top of this rocky cliff with rampaging waves beneath us, he was finally going to have his answer.

Seokjin, if you're seeing this, you must be really proud of your girl. You better worship me from afar. Your girl is getting a confession.

"Mirae," his soft voice called, footsteps approaching until it halted beside me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

We watched the sunset going down, evening wind swayed our hair. The situation is perfect for lovey dovey moments, especially when you are with your crush. You'll probably experience what feels like fireworks festival in your stomach.

But no, that kind of spark has died inside of me.

"About that... Jimin." I turned to him, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. My gaze lowered as the tranquillity got tensed. "I don't think I can accept you," I finally gave the answer that I've been wanting to say. If he was here, he would be yelling at me after this for rejecting my crush like that.

Not that I do not like Jimin. I still do love him as my crush, but a part of me was not ready to move into a new stage. I wanted to stay as a baby, a brat that he called my Mirae. That only one who could see him, the one he would yell at, the one who would receive his lessons and tips, the one whom he spent time with every day.

Disappointment was evident on his gaze. "May I know why?" The way he smiled, hurt me a little.

"Because my heart has died a long time ago, Jimin," I answered, smiling sadly at the sea.

"Uhm, can you maybe explain more?" I peered over my shoulder just to see him scratching his head in confusion.

I chuckled. "If I tell you, you will not believe me and probably think that I am crazy."

"No no!" He almost immediately shook his head. "I won't! So can you please tell me about it?" He questioned. His pure acts hit the soft spot in my heart.

"Well then," I began, taking a seat on the ground. "Before I start, Jimin, do you believe in soulmates?"

Because I have one and his name is Seokjin. A ghosty soulmate. And a motherly ghost.

So long, friend.
