Chapter Fourteen: Father's Words
"I am totally not supposed to be talking about this but whatever..." he sighed. "Listen carefully since this is a long story..."
• Taehyung's P.O.V
May ** 199*
"Can you hear me?...what's your name? How old are you?" The male voice continued asking questions to the young boy. "I..." The boy rubbed his eyes, still not used to seeing the bright light. "I am...Lee Taeyong...I am seven years old..." He answered and looked around. He suddenly noticed me. With a confused face, he asked, "Who is he?"
"Ah...he...he is someone...do you remember what happened before you got here?" The male in front of the little boy asked. "Umm....no...I don't think so..."
"Where are mommy and daddy?" He asked and looked at the people in front of him. They looked away. "Umm...well..." one of them started.
"Mine are dead...your father killed them...." I answered in my head.
"Wait....we were in the car before I got here...and...dad was driving...it was raining, too...the last thing I heard was the sound of a car horn...did....are my parents...dead...?"
The male next to Taeyong looked shocked seeing him able to understand everything so easily.
"Your dad is okay...it's..." the grown male didn't know how to tell the little boy what happened. "Mom is gone....right...?" He looked down almost crying.
I got up making the rest of the people look at me. "He killed them! Your dad killed them!!" I yelled and started crying again.
"My mom and dad are both gone because of your dad!" I yelled louder, unable to control my emotions.
One of the grown males walked over to me. "Come on...let's go, Taehyung...." I didn't move. Taeyong suddenly looked up. "Where is my dad?" He asked the people in front of him. "I want to see him..." before anyone could answer I went up to him.
"I hate you...." that was the last thing I said before leaving the room with the other male.
"Taehyung, calm down," my uncle said. I looked at him. "But..." he bit his lip as he held his tears too. "Uncle...he killed my mom...your sister..." I said as I hugged him. He sighed as he let go. "The boy didn't do anything. And his father too. It was an accident, Taetae" I nodded, trying to understand.
"After that day we saw each other a lot for some reason..."
"I was sent to live with my uncle who apparently was his neighbor so we saw each other a lot. I never liked him, okay? He always gave me bad vibes...but one day...he just disappeared. I don't know where he went. He just went and never came back...I've heard he ran away. I don't know...that makes me feel like he is hiding something now and it's also a reason why I don't like him too"
Walking around the empty playground...ever since that day, it became what I always did. Suddenly I heard running somewhere and then a sudden scream. I turned around and started walking towards where the sound came from. I stopped when I saw what was happening. "It's that boy from the hospital...Lee Taeyong...he was crying while holding onto the arm of a man. I recognized the face immediately. It was his father.
I walked closer and what I saw next made me freeze. Was...there was a male on the floor. He...was he...he was having his powers taken away from him. I've learned about that since my father used to teach me about it sometimes. I looked back at the young boy. "Dad! Stop it! You are hurting him!" He kept pulling his father's arm and I then understood what was happening. Mr. Lee was the Positer here...

"So? I don't get your point...what has all this got to do with hating Taeyong? I see no reason at all...why are you so worried?" He scoffed.
"His father is a fucking Positer!"
"So?! He isn't one! His father is but he isn't! Stop hating him because of his father! He already told you, he hates him too!" He sighed. "At this point, I am starting to think you are acting this way only because you're jealous" he looked at me. "What?" I scoffed. "You're jealous because I hang out with him more, right?" He laughed and ran his hand through his hair. "Of course not, why would I be jealous?" He looked away and chuckled.
"Because you like me"
He looked at me. "W-what?" I let out a small chuckle. "It's really obvious, you know. I've already noticed that you like me" he looked away and then back at me. "What the hell are you talking about?! I like you?! Why the hell do you think that?!" I sighed and looked down. "Admit it already. You like me and you are jealous because I hang out with Taeyong more than I hang out with you" he bit his lip. "Okay! I admit it! I do like you and I may be a little jealous but I don't hate taeyong because of that!" I sighed.

"And...when was all this?" She asked. I sighed. "The day the accident happened when my parents and Taeyong's mom passed away on the fifth of May 1995" as I say the words her eyes widened. "What?" I asked as I saw tears forming in her eyes. "Y/N...what's wrong?" She wiped her tears away and looked at me.
"May....fifth?" I nod. "Why?" I ask as she looks away. She bit her lip, probably hesitating to tell me. "My...I...I am an orphan too..." she started. "Wait, really?" I say as she looks at me again. She nods. "My parents also passed away on the same day of the accident..." this time it was me who was shocked.
She just sighed and got up. "I am getting tired...we'll talk later" She waved and then started walking away. I sighed. "Goodnight!" I said as she continued to walk to the dorms. "Goodnight"
The world looked different from my point of view. Not many people who can sense the dead have this ability but I have it. I can see them and talk to them directly. So..no one can see it but in class we have some ghosts sitting next to us, taking the lesson with us. I find it really interesting, to be honest.
"Don't you think you are being too harsh on Taeyong?" I looked at the ghost of my father. "I..it's just...when you left I-"
"You felt broken, lonely and you hated him with your whole heart...but...I am here now. You can talk to me and your mother. Isn't that good? And besides, Taeyong never did anything. Remember, he lost his mother too" I sighed. "Am I being too harsh?" My dad came closer to me. "Taehyung-ssi" I bit my lip.
"Dad, his father is a Positer. I hate the fact I am hiding this. I am just...scared..." he sighed. "Apologize to Taeyong. For Y/N. For the girl, you like" I looked at him. "I will try to..." I smile. "Well, you need some sleep..." he got up and waved a little. "Goodnight" a smile formed on his lips as he slowly faded away. I sighed. "Goodnight...."

"What's wrong?" Amber asked, probably noticing my state. I huffed and flung my arms into the air before holding the bridge of my nose. "Amber..." she looked at me as she picked up her glass of water. "What...what do I do if I saw my crush showering and can't delete the scene from my memory?" I asked her, making her choke on her water.
"WHAT?!" I looked at her. "YOU SAW TAEYONG TAKING A SHOWER?!" My eyes widened and I looked at her. "WHAT?! TAEYONG?! NO! WHAT THE HELL?! WHY TAEYONG OUT OF ALL MALES IN THE WORLD?!" I yelled back almost turning into a tomato.
"Well don't you have a crush on him?" She asked getting up. "WHAT THE- NO! NO, NO, NO! WHAT THE HELL, AMBER?!" She chuckled. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you two are a couple" I smacked my forehead. "OMG, Amber stop it!" She laughed.
"Then who did you see taking a shower?" She asked so casually it sounded like looking at boys showering was just an everyday thing for her. "Jung....Jung Hyunseung..." I said slowly. As she heard the words, she spat her water out on my face. "OH MY GOD. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL?!"
I told her what happened and we both sat in silence. A minute after we both heard a knock on the door. Amber got up and we saw one of our female professors next to a student.
We let them in and the professor introduced the girl and said that she will be our new roommate. We tried to be welcoming but it just felt weird since for the past ten years it has only been me and Amber. The professor then left the room and we all sat down in this awkward silence.
"So...Choi Seoyeon...how old are you?" Amber asked, breaking the silence. "18" my eyes widened. "Wait, really?!" She nodded. "I swear I thought you were younger than me!" She smiled. "My name is Jeon Y/N," I said smiling. "I'm Amber Liu. What's your power?" Amber asked.
"Water, yours?" Amber got up as she answered. "Earth" she looked at me and I answered. Soon we got to know each other. After about it was time to go to sleep.
I lay in bed.
"May 5th....were we all supposed to be connected...?"
