His soul wandered around the busy streets, couple where seen everywhere holding hand and cuddling for warmth. He was the only one leaning on one of the brick wall, without an aim. His face turn paler as second pass, his mind was in a mess. He slide down the brick wall, not a single person stopped in their path to look at him.
He was like invisible.
A warm hand caress his hair, Key never expected someone would be doing that. He sank deep into gentle gaze coming from the giant standing in front of him.
“Come with me.” His voice that sounded so warm in the coldest winter, his voice seemed as if it possessed some kind of mystical power that made him follow him without a doubt.
-
He walked in the apartment with the tall male and not questioning him anything.
“Sit down.” Key obediently sat down. Minho took out an old book from the drawer in the coffee table. He flipped a few pages before looking back at Key. Key can only feel himself lost in that pair of eyes.
“Alright, Key. I need you to be calm after hearing what I’m going to say next. Is that okay?” Key was pulled back to the conscious side a little by his words, fear has crept towards him. He nodded.
“You are already dead, Key.” The moment he broke the news, Key felt as if his world crumbling down, how can he face that fact that he’s going leave this world before he even reached 18. He didn’t know how he got there; he doesn’t remember how his life was before he died, why he deserved such a fate. Right now someone was going to take his soul away.
His life was going to end a few moments. Tears started falling. Actually Human does not fear death, they only fear the moment before death.
“Don’t worry. I will end your pain now.” He ruffled his hair softly, how would anyone doubt such a gentle voice? It’s like even if he twist facts, people will choose to believe him. His voice has this kind of attraction; no one will doubt his words. Key shut his eyes tightly, he didn’t want to see how the world disappears right in front of his eyes.
Minho’s hands trembled as he held the book. He then shut the old book and leaned forward to plant a kiss on the younger boy’s forehead. He just couldn’t do it. How can he send someone he held so dear far away from him.
-
“Why didn’t you tell me that you were my lover in the first place?” Key laid his head on his lover’s thigh.
“Because I wanted to let you leave this world without any solicitude.” It was a half-truth fact, he really wanted him to leave the world without any worries but with another agenda in mind. Key sat up and turned to face Minho.
“But why did you change your mind.”
“Because I realized, I can’t let you go…” Key wrapped his arms around Minho’s neck, hugging him tightly.

Key was busy cooking in the kitchen, he just learnt to use his power to touch mortal items. He was doing this as a way to express his thanks to Minho for not taking away his soul. Minho was waiting at the dining table, enjoying the view of someone cooking for him. Although Key was only 17 and he was 26 , they are still lovers.
He really hoped that everything will turn back like the way it was before the moment Key knows about his life as a human but life isn’t that easy. Once you lose it, you will forever lose it.
That’s why Minho chose to flood Key with his endless lies.
It would be best if he let Key leave the world with only happy memories and leave this world still loving him.
-
“Goodbye, yeobo.” Key shyly planted a kiss on Minho’s cheeks, just like a married couple. Minho imagined hugging Key in his arms and left the house. Key’s smile faded almost immediately, after all this was a love between a human and a ghost. How he wished he didn’t die, he would then be able to continue the love.
It’s already a fact that can’t be change.
He decided to make himself even useful by cleaning the store room for him but it was always locked for a reason. He was glad he learnt passing through wall after such a long time later. He moved swiftly in by shutting his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, the scene right in front shocked him.
He saw his body floating in a special containment. He took a few step back, couldn’t believe the fact right in front of him at all. Who was Minho actually? Were they really lovers but will lovers do this?
His head hurts a lot, memories was flooding in his mind. Minho wasn’t his lover at all, Minho was his step brother who was in love with him. They shared the same dad and definitely not lovers at all as Key remembered, his lover was Onew. He took a few steps back as more memories came into his mind.
He arched his back as he spurted his seed in Kibum. Minho caressed Key’s hair softly then wiping away the sweat on his forehead. He plant a kiss on his lips again, claming that pair of lips.
“You are only mine, Kibum. Only mine.” That cold possessive tone sent chill down the younger boy’s spine. His possessiveness was more than what normal brothers’ share.
He then finally realized, he may not have loved Minho at all. All this while, Minho has been lying to him. Lying that they are lover. If he were to hate him, he will have no one else. He was now all alone in this world, trapped as a ghost. The kind of loneliness he would have to face, again feeling lost.
No, he doesn’t want to wonder around the street like before anymore.

Minho came back after a long day of work, right now the only thing he look forward to was his dear brother waiting for him at home. He walked in the house, feeling a little bizarre to not hear his little brother’s greetings. He noticed his brother staring into space.
He made his way quietly behind him before hugging him from behind. Key moved away quickly in fear but soon changed his expression into a happy one.
“Welcome home, Minho hyung.” Key mentally prayed that Minho didn’t notice his usual reaction but it was too obvious in Minho’s eyes.
“Key, did you get back your memories?” His body was shivering.; Key didn’t know how Minho would react. Would Minho beat him up or lock him up? Or Minho would torture him in some way that was out of his own imagination?
“Ye…Yes.” He saw Minho raised his hands. Due to human reaction, he shut his eyes to receive the slap. To his surprised, he didn’t feel any pain at all, perhaps it was because he’s a ghost now so Minho couldn’t touch him. He peeped at Minho to only see sorrow in his eyes. Minho’s hands were only caressing his cheeks.
“I wanted to let you go while you still love me… But I’m too greedy and still kept you by my side… ” He put down his hand and walked towards the coffee table to get the ancient book.
“That’s why god gave back your memories to punish me.” He held the book in his hand and turned to look at Key.
“I’m sorry.” Key shut his own eyes as tears rolled down his face. Minho uttered a few magical words before Key disappeared in front of his eyes forever.
