Hauntings

-Possession-

“wait… you what?” Siyeon and the others asked as they looked at a very upset Bora.

“I saw that freaking thing with no face! It was so scary!!!” Bora went from screaming to crying mid-sentence as Siyeon felt guilty and walked over to comfort her friend only to be smacked repeatedly for ‘using your best friend as a human shield.’

“ouch OUCH! Ok, I’m sorry, alright?” Siyeon said with a cute pout as Bora scowled at her.

“oh no, you don’t… your adorable pout isn’t going to get you out of trouble this time!” Bora said as Siyeon’s shoulders slumped. She knew she was in trouble if her pout didn’t save her.

“and don’t you even THINK… wait… who’s shirt is that?” Bora asked as Siyeon looked down at the shirt covered in pink bunnies.

“oh, you drooled on my scrub top, so Minji let me borrow a shirt,” Siyeon said as Bora looked over to Minji, who was a bright shade of red and refusing to look at the tiny manager.

“Siyeon… when did you change?” Bora asked as she read Minji’s reaction. Her eyes went wide at the mention of changing, and soon Bora grinned widely. When she glanced over at Siyeon, she could see Siyeon starting to panic when she realized what she did and laughed.

“ok… this might make up for it a bit… but don’t think you will get away with this! You owe me big time!” Bora said as Siyeon felt like retreating out of the room in embarrassment.

“wait… I still want to know more about you seeing the ghost! What did it look like? Was it transparent like in the stories, or did it look completely solid? Did it look like something out of a horror movie? Or…” Yoohyeon barraged Bora with questions until Handong leaned onto her shoulder, giving her a familiar look.

“never mind…” Yoohyeon said as Handong smiled and nodded. The two had successfully snuck Bora past the nurses of the floor but needed to get back. They had to work after all. Well, after a small break.

Handong didn’t like all of those nurses flinging themselves at her girlfriend and wanted to make it quite clear that she belongs to someone. Yoohyeon knew that look and quickly forgot what she was asking as her mind ran wild with the possibilities Handong had planned and was so excited she was ready to run out of the room.

“Bora, I suggest you rest for a bit. You were unconscious for quite a while.” Handong said as Bora nodded and flopped backward on the couch dramatically.

“of course. I almost died, after all. Thanks to my no-good friend…” Bora said as she glared at Siyeon as she held her hand to her head.

“drama queen…” Siyeon grumbled as Bora truck her tongue out at her friend.

“Are they always like this?” Minji asked as Yoohyeon and Handong shrugged. It seemed like it, though.

“probably. Well, we will be heading back now! Bye!” Yoohyeon said as she dragged Handong out of the door.

“Siyeon…” Bora said in a low voice as she froze. She was trying to sneak out of the door with the other two but got busted.

“yes?” Siyeon asked as she turned around with her best innocent expression.

“nice try… what was that thing?” Bora asked as Siyeon sighed and walked closer and sat down beside her friend.

“It was a girl. She didn’t know she was dead. As soon as I told her, she charged at us. But it wasn’t because she was evil or bad. She just had a hard time accepting that she was dead. She was trapped here for years like that…” Siyeon said as Bora gave a sympathetic expression.

“so, she didn’t know… was she able to move on?” Bora asked as Siyeon nodded.

“after you fainted, she slowly started to return to normal. Her unfinished business resolved itself over time, and she ended up finally moving on.” Siyeon said as Bora listened carefully.

“so, she wasn’t some monster or evil creature?” Bora asked as she remembered the gooey mess of a face and shivered.

“no. she was just a teenager that died in an accident and never knew.” Siyeon said as Bora frowned. She didn’t want to feel bad for the things that terrified her, but she couldn’t help it.

“oh! Two other ghosts heard me talking to the girl and realized that they were dead and moved on as well!” Siyeon said excitedly as Minji smiled proudly. Bora didn’t miss the look that the girl was giving her best friend and smiled.

“well, I will rest here a bit if it's alright with Minji. Can you go check on Gahyeon?” Bora asked as Siyeon’s eyes went wide. How long had they been gone?

“shit! Gahyeon!” Siyeon shouted as she ran out of the room and back to her floor. Gahyeon must have been wondering what happened to them.

Siyeon ran over to the elevator, and when it opened, the ghost smiled at her proudly. She was able to help many today. And she could tell that he was happy. Siyeon smiled as she nodded politely and asked for her floor.

‘did you get scolded much?’ he asked as Siyeon looked at him in surprise.

‘I know much of what goes on in this hospital. It comes with the job.’ He said with a shrug as he smiled.

“Bora was a bit mad at me. She somehow saw the ghost when it charged her.” Siyeon said as he gave her a look of interest.

‘interesting… How?’ he asked as Siyeon shrugged. She had no idea either.

“I was holding her in front of me when it charged. Bora suddenly screamed and fainted when it bounced off of her.” Siyeon said as the ghost thought for a moment.

‘they say that people that are surrounded by ghosts for a long time can sometimes start to see them… I wonder if that’s why? But you probably had something to do with it.’ He said as Siyeon thought about it carefully. But before she could say anything else, the elevator door opened, ending their conversation.

Siyeon walked over to the desk when she spotted Dami talking to Gahyeon and smiled. She really wished that they would get together. They would be adorable.

When Siyeon went to walk up to them, she froze. Dami was smiling at Gahyeon sweetly and quickly leaned down to kiss Gahyeon before pulling away and acting as nothing happened. What the hell? How long had this been going on?

Siyeon noticed Dami was about to turn her way and quickly flattened against the wall, successfully hiding herself as she stood there in shock. Dami and Gahyeon? And why didn’t they tell everyone? Was it a secret? There were so many questions running through her head, but when she walked around the corner like nothing happened, the two automatically jumped apart slightly. They were definitely keeping it a secret…

“Sorry for leaving you here for so long… I ran into a scary ghost in the ER…” Siyeon said as she acted oblivious. She was very good at that, after all.

“are you alright?” Gahyeon asked as she looked at Siyeon worriedly.

“yes… but I kind of used Bora as a human shield… she’s really mad at me now that she woke up…” Siyeon said as the two went silent and looked at her in shock.

“wait… you what?” Dami asked as Siyeon prepared herself for the scolding she knew would come.

“you used your best friend as a human shield? What if she got hurt?!” Dami asked as Siyeon shook her head.

“she can't. She is immune to ghosts, remember. Even the elevator ghost said so!” Siyeon said as Dami closed her eyes and pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.

“you took the word of a ghost? Siyeon, what if he was lying, and Bora got seriously hurt?” Dami said as Siyeon pouted.

“Is she ok?” Gahyeon asked as Siyeon nodded.

“she just passed out. But that’s not the interesting part… she saw the ghost…” Siyeon said as Dami went to scold her more.

“wait, Bora saw the ghost? Is that even possible? I thought only you could?” Dami asked as Siyeon shrugged.

“I wanted to ask more about it, but I had to get back here. I hate to admit it, but I’m tempted to call that Taeyeon woman again…” Siyeon said as Dami groaned.

“what? We need to know?” Siyeon said as Dami sighed again.

“how do we know if she can really see these ghosts anyway? We told her that it was a little ghost boy, remember?” Dami said as Siyeon rolled her eyes.

“yes, but she knew what the boy did to protect Bora, right? That means that she saw SOMETHING. Maybe she could help us with this?” Siyeon said as she looked at Gahyeon. The younger girl shrugged. She wasn’t sure if she trusted the fortune teller, but she also knew that they needed answers.

“We need to ask Yoohyeon. Have you seen her?” Dami asked as Siyeon nodded.

“Yeah. She and Handong left before me. They aren’t here yet?” Siyeon asked as the two shook their heads.

“hmm…” Siyeon said when she looked up to spot the two walking over. Yoohyeon had a huge grin plastered on her face and a very visible hickey on her neck. The three exchanged a look before looking back at the silver-haired girl once more. Just what had the two been doing?

“What did we miss?” Yoohyeon asked happily as the three tried not to stare at her neck.

“Siyeon was thinking about calling that Taeyeon girl…” Dami said as Yoohyeon looked at the nurse with curiosity.

“why?” Yoohyeon asked as Siyeon sighed and explained.

“Because Bora saw that ghost too. I don’t know how she could see it…” Siyeon said as Yoohyeon thought carefully.

“well, I can always give her a call, but she isn’t cheap…” Yoohyeon said as Handong rolled her eyes.

“I think one of us needs to call her. I’m swearing she charged you double what she should have… I swear you have sucker written on your forehead!” Handong said as Yoohyeon pouted.

“I really do want to know how she saw the ghost. Does it mean we might start seeing them too?” Gahyeon asked as Dami tensed. She didn’t like the thought of being suddenly able to see the things that scared Bora and Siyeon so badly.

“um… I hope not…” Dami managed to get out before a shiver ran down her spine.

“We can go see? I can go with you down by the ER and will try to see if I can see any spirits. Sound good?” Yoohyeon asked as Siyeon hesitated.

“maybe not the ER… the last one charged Bora…” Siyeon said as Yoohyeon thought carefully.

“well, let's look around for a bit then. We needed to grab some supplies still, and I will go with you.” Yoohyeon said as Siyeon sighed and nodded.

“I’m going with you. I know Handong needs to see the patients soon, so I will go with you two. You ok alone here? I know that Irene is helping on the floor, so at least you aren’t completely alone.” Dami asked as Gahyeon nodded. She didn’t trust Siyeon and Yoohyeon alone together near ghosts either.

The three walked downstairs as Dami sighed. She couldn’t even see them, so she didn’t know why she was so scared of them, but just the thought of going near the ER was suddenly making her nervous. What if something happened? She wouldn’t see it coming.

Dami was lost in her thoughts when she suddenly noticed Siyeon’s head jerk up. She clearly saw something and grabbed both Yoohyeon’s and Dami’s wrists in panic. Suddenly the image of a woman appeared in front of them.

Both Dami and Yoohyeon gasped in shock as they suddenly saw a beautiful woman in a tight black dress standing before them. She had long black hair and looked absolutely stunning. If it wasn’t for the old blood running down her forehead, they wouldn’t have realized that anything was wrong, but when Siyeon loosened her grip on Yoohyeon, the silver-haired girl gasped as the woman vanished from her view.

Dami looked at Siyeon in shock before looking back at the woman.

‘you can see me, can't you?’ the woman said in a low and sultry voice. Dami gulped as she looked at Siyeon. She could see her mouth move but heard nothing. The nurse looked at Dami nervously and then back to the ghost as she nodded.

“y, yes. We can see you. why are you here?” Siyeon asked as the woman sighed in satisfaction. She had been looking for someone to help her. Every other doctor or nurse would only ignore her. Finally, she might make it to her date!

‘I have a severe headache. I need something for it. I’m late for a date. I don’t want to keep them waiting.’ The woman said as Siyeon hesitated.

Yoohyeon looked from Siyeon to Dami and could tell that the two could still see the woman, so why couldn’t she? The taller girl looked and noticed Siyeon’s hand still on Dami’s wrist and quickly grabbed the nurse's hand, but it did nothing.

Siyeon was a bit startled as she looked at Yoohyeon, but when the girl wrapped her hand around her wrist like with Dami, she smiled. She might have figured out how Bora saw that ghost.

‘can you help me?’ the woman asked as Yoohyeon nodded.

“yes, we can help you! but do you know that you are no longer alive?” Yoohyeon asked as both Siyeon and Dami looked at her in shock.

‘What?’ the woman asked in shock as she slowly shook her head. She was slowly starting to remember things. She was walking to her date when a car ran a red light and struck her. She vaguely remembered fading in and out of consciousness in the ambulance and groaned.

‘it can't be true! I was going to meet the one! They were perfect! No…’ the woman said as she shook her head.

“I’m sorry. What is the thing that is keeping you here?” Yoohyeon asked as Siyeon continued to stare at her friend in shock.

‘I wanted to have a good time with them… I guess it will never happen…’ the woman said with a groan when you could see she had a sudden idea.

“whatever it is, I promise I will try to help you!” Yoohyeon said excitedly as the woman smirked.

‘or will it? Yes… very nice!’ the woman said as she looked Yoohyeon up and down. She decided to take Yoohyeon up on her offer. The taller girl looked to Siyeon in confusion when suddenly the woman lunged at her.

Both Siyeon and Dami screamed as they lunged for their friend, but it was too late. The woman struck Yoohyeon and went through her. Or inside her. She never came out the other side of Yoohyeon’s body.

Siyeon and Dami quickly ran to their friend, who was lying unconscious on the ground and quickly tried to rouse her, but nothing happened for several minutes. Finally, Siyeon noticed movement as Yoohyeon slowly opened her eyes.

“thank god! I thought something bad happened to you!” Dami shouted as Yoohyeon smirked as she looked up at the transporter.

“morning beautiful… you look so much better in this body… I wonder how your lips would taste?” Yoohyeon said as she propped her head on her hand. Both Siyeon and Dami exchanged a look of suspicion. The way she talked didn’t sound like Yoohyeon at all.

“mmm… this body is so nice… why does she hide it under these baggy clothes?” the ghost asked as she ran a hand over her body while both Siyeon and Dami groaned.

“shit… she’s possessed…” Dami said as Siyeon nodded.

“We need to call Handong and Bora. Now. And don’t take your eyes off of her!” Siyeon said as she stood and quickly pulled out her cellphone and started making calls. Everyone was on their way, which made her feel a bit better, but clearly, Dami wasn’t having as fun of a time.

The ghost was throwing herself at the transporter. Dami was having to dodge several kisses and groping hands as she waited for Siyeon and the others.

“oh, look! Its Siyeon! You know she managed to take down a man twice her size? Hot, right?!” Dami shouted as the ghost turned to look at Siyeon with a smirk.

“yes… very hot!” she said as she scanned the nurse up and down before switched targets.

“Dami! Seriously?!” Siyeon shouted as she tried to keep the horny ghost away. This was going to be an interesting night. How can they ask how to stop a possession when their ghost expert was the one possessed?
