Summary: Taekwoon finally moves into his new apartment but there is something special about this place and the previous owner.
Prologue
(So you guys know where all of this is happening: THIS is how Taekwoon's apartment looks like. (there is still some furniture missing but I think you'll get it^^))
What he did not expect though, was the young man standing behind him when he turned around.
~
Stunned Taekwoon stared at the man in front of him. He had silver hair but he looked quite young; maybe Taekwoon's age. His skin was a darker shade and he was quite tall.
“Who are you and how did you get in here?”, Taekwoon asked. Had he forgotten to shut the door? No, he was quite sure that he had locked it after entering.
But the other did not answer Taekwoon's question. He just looked around as if to see if someone else was there and Taekwoon might be talking to them.
“I'm talking to YOU. Who are you and how did you get in?”, he asked again and stood up, noticing that he was just a bit taller than the other male. That was a good thing. If the person in front of him was dangerous then Taekwoon could probably use that for his advantage. He did not look dangerous but Taekwoon knew better than to judge a book by it's cover.
Silver-haired male looked at him in confusion. “Are you talking to me?”, he asked, pointing the index finger of one of his hands to himself.
Taekwoon frowned. “Of course I'm talking to you, so answer my...” “You can see me?!”,the other interrupted him enthusiastically.
The raven-haired male backed away a bit. What kind of question was that? Was the guy in front of him a lunatic. “Of course I can see you! Why wouldn't I...”
But before Taekwoon could finish his sentence the other man came running towards him, arms spread wide open. The composer put his fists up in order to defend himself but when the other collided with him there was...nothing. Nothing but a slight breeze and the other man seemed to run right through him.
Taekwoon turned around and was shocked to find the other boy standing there as if nothing had happened. That...that could not be happening, right? This could not be real! He must have fallen asleep. This just had to be a dream. /come on Taekwoon, wake up! Or at least dream of something that makes more sense!/, he thought to himself, but his thoughts were interrupted when the other man spoke again.
“Oh...I'm sorry, I'm still not really used to all this ghost-stuff. It's just that usually people do not see me and I got all excited and it's so great to meet you and....what are you doing?”, the silver-haired male asked as he saw the other pinch his arm flinching a bit in the process.
“I obviously overworked; I'm already seeing things. I need sleep.”, the pianist stated matter-of-factly and turned around to look for the bedroom. It was the logical conclusion. This could not be real but Taekwoon had pinched himself and it had hurt, so this was not a dream, hence he had to be hallucinating because of lack of sleep. It all made perfect sense to Taekwoon.
“What?! Wait!”, the other shouted and followed Taekwoon into the bedroom. “You are not hallucinating! I'm...”
”please shut up, your voice is annoying and I really need to sleep so I won't be seeing things in the morning anymore”, Taekwoon interrupted as he flopped down on the large bed. He still had his clothes on but he really couldn't care less right now. He needed sleep. NOW. And fortunately even his 'imaginary friend' seemed to get that and did not say another word.
~
The next morning Taekwoon woke up to the sun shining through the large windows of his bedroom and warming his body. It was early February so it was still pretty cold outside but with the sun shining like that in a clear blue sky it looked almost like Summer.
The raven-haired male yawned and stretched on his bed lazily. He looked around and to his relief he did not see the silver-haired male anywhere. Just as he had thought; he had just been hallucinating due to lack of sleep.
He was glad that he finally had a few days off to relax and to get settled in properly. He still had to explore the rest of the apartment, then he had to go grocery shopping and he still needed to unpack all the boxes containing the stuff from his old apartment. Except for the box he had brought with him yesterday everything had already been brought here by Ken. Speaking of the singer, he really should call him later to thank him for his help.
But first he needed a shower!...and food....but first a shower! He stood up in order to look for the bathroom. It did not take long though, because he could already see the shiny ivory tiles through an open door at the other end of the room. He had not noticed the door when he had entered the room the day before, but then again he had been preoccupied with other things...
When he fully opened the door he figured that he'd have to invite Ken for dinner to be able to thank him. The bathroom was very spacious and did not only have a shower but also a large luxurious bath tub. Well, Taekwoon guessed that breakfast could wait a little longer, because he just LOVED taking baths. He had not been able to take one in a long while since he didn't have a bath tub in his old apartment and when he stayed at hotels because of work they either didn't have a bath tub or he did not have enough time to enjoy it.
Taekwoon left the bathroom to get his towel from the box he had brought with him yesterday. He went back through the living room to the entrance and picked the box up. There were mainly things intended for his bedroom and his bathroom in it anyways, so he might as well bring the whole box.
“Did you sleep well?”, asked a familiar voice that almost made Taekwoon drop the box because he was so startled. He whirled around and looked incredulously at the person standing there. It was the same silver-haired male as the evening before.
“Since you should be well rested now, how about we start all over again? Hi I'm Cha Hakyeon!”, the other male said holding out his hand and smiling brightly.
Taekwoon just stood there staring at the intruder.
Hakyeon looked Taekwoon, then at his outstretched hand and suddenly began laughing. “Oh yeah, you're right shaking hands with a ghost doesn't really make sense”, he said obviously amused by his own mistake.
Taekwoon was shocked, to say the least. This could not be real. He wanted to believe that he was still overworked or maybe dreaming, but he was well rested and he was pretty sure he was awake. Well...he could always try pinching himself but...
“I know this must be quite a shock for you and, believe me, I was also pretty shocked when I woke up and was...well...a ghost and couldn't leave my apartment anymore. Well, it's actually your apartment now, but I'm so glad that you can see me, because it really gets lonely if you have nobody to talk to and...oh what's your name by the way?”, the silver-haired male asked still grinning.
Okay, now Taekwoon was pretty damn sure that this was not a dream. First, because he rarely dreamt and second because he thought that it was impossible for his mind to come up with someone this annoying ...even though Ken was one of his friends....wait...KEN!
Taekwoon put down the box and took his cell phone from his pocket. He dialed the singer's number and put the small white device to his ear.
“Heeeeeeeey Taekwoonieeee! So how do you like your new apart-” “Are you free right now?”, he asked without letting the other finish his sentence. “Uhm...yes, I have a day off, why?” “Get over here immediately!”, he ordered and hung up.
He was about to put his cell phone away when he had an idea. 'and bring breakfast with you', he typed and sent it to the younger before putting the device back into his pocket. Then he opened the box, took out his towel and a change of clothes and went in the direction of the bathroom.
Hakyeon looked at him. “It's useless, your friend won't be able to see me either. So far you were the only one who could so...what are we going to do now?”, he asked. They were now flatmates somehow so Hakyeon figured they should try to get along.
Taekwoon sighed. Apparently the other male would not shut up until he got an answer. “I am going to take a shower. I don't care what YOU do as long as you don't bother me anymore.”, he said and practically slammed the door to his room in Hakyeon's face.
Taekwoon was pissed. All he had wanted had been to move into his new apartment and enjoy his days off and now he had to deal with this annoying person...ghost...whatever! Maybe a hot shower would calm him down a bit. And hopefully Ken would already be there with breakfast by the time he was finished.
~
About 20 minutes later he reentered the living room and was, for once, pleased to see the singer sitting on the black leather couch. Especially since the brunette had a big cup of coffee in his hand which he offered to Taekwoon.
“So Taekwoonie, are you going to tell me why you asked me to come over in this overly friendly manner?”, the younger asked with a grin. He was already used to the sometimes rude-seeming behavior of his friend and he knew that the other did not mean it that way and that he was just not really good at talking and expressing his feelings towards other people.
Ken had always guessed that this was the actual reason why Taekwoon had chosen to become a songwriter and composer instead of a singer in spite of his amazing voice.
Taekwoon took a sip of his coffee and pointed at the other end of the room, where the silver-haired male named Hakyeon was still standing and watching them.
Ken followed the direction of the others hand but he couldn't see anything that might have angered his friend. “Uhm Taekwoon...sorry, but what do you mean?”, the singer asked in confusion. “Don't you like the color of the table or the chairs? I told you, you should have picked it yourself but you told me to just pick something since you didn't have any time, so don't blame me!”, the brunette protested.
“See? I told you he couldn't see me!”, Hakyeon commented from across the room and Taekwoon sighed. “No, it's okay. I just wanted to ask if you knew anything about the previous owner.”, he said and took another sip of his coffee.
Even if he told the other now, he didn't think that the singer would believe him that there was some invisible guy in his apartment. He would probably just tell him that Taekwoon was seeing things because he had been working too much. Well, Taekwoon had thought the same the evening before but the more he thought about it the more he believed that this Hakyeon person was really some ghost.
“The previous owner? Not much. According to the broker he was some kind of artist and had an unfortunate accident...but that's all that he said about him. Why do you want to know? Was there still something left of his belongings? I was sure I checked everything...”, he said looking at Taekwoon expectantly.
The singer was not used to Taekwoon being so curious or talking this much on his own.
The composer shook his head. “No I was just wondering who would give up such an amazing apartment”, he said looking out of the window. “Oh and Jaehwan?” Ken looked at him because Taekwoon rarely used his real name. “Thanks for the help”, the older said which made the singer smile.
“You're welcome. So....when is the housewarming party?”, he asked grinning since he knew fully well that the other didn't like parties. And as he expected, the look on Taekwoon's face spoke volumes of what he thought about it.
“Oh come on Taekwoon! At least a small celebration among the two of us! I picked this place after all and you love it! You owe me!”, he pleaded with the taller male but was ignored. But that did not deter him. He was used to not getting a response from the other male.
So the singer moved even closer to Taekwoon and started poking is cheek.
“You. Owe. Me.”, he repeated, punctuating each word with a jab of his finger into the soft flesh.
The taller man eventually gave up trying to ignore Ken and grabbed his wrist to stop him from poking his cheek. He already knew how persistent the other could be and that he was fighting a losing battle. He had already thought about inviting the other to dinner as a thank you anyways.
“If you help me unpack I might treat you to ice cream”, Taekwoon said at last.
Well...just because he had thought about inviting Ken didn't mean that he had to tell Ken immediately. Sometimes he liked to tease the other male, because it was usually the other way round. The singer usually dragged him to all kinds of places and tried to make him do all kinds of silly stuff. He rarely ever succeeded but if he did...Taekwoon would still hear about it for months!
“What? You're kidding me! For this kind of apartment you owe me at least a complete meal! Plus I already carried all your boxes up here!” “THAT were actually the people from the moving company”, the older interrupted.
“Nitpicker...”, Ken muttered under his breath. “You know perfectly well what I mean! I helped you pack those god damn boxes, I was at your old apartment when the moving company picked them up, I was here when they brought them here, I picked this apartment, I picked most of the furniture...” “Okay okay, just help me unpack and afterwards I'll treat you to dinner and ice cream as a dessert.”, Taekwoon said to shut Ken up.
Ken only pouted. “Like you said, you already helped me pack so you know where the things go, and you know that I don't own that much, so it won't take long anyways.”, Taekwoon stated with a slight smile
Ken sighed. “That's unfair”, he muttered. Taekwoon knew that he couldn't say 'no' when he was smiling at him. “Okay, but you have to cook yourself! We're not going to a restaurant!”, the singer demanded and Taekwoon nodded.
“Now that this is settled, let's have breakfast”, the younger said and pointed at a bag next to him which contained various foods from the nearby bakery. Taekwoon only nodded in agreement.
