Chapter 24: Occupying Everything (4)
The girl turned her head.
Brightly sparkling eyes. Shiny pink lips. Black hair that seemed to fall over a radiant face.
Myeong-cheol and Sang-min’s mouths dropped open.
‘Heok! Amazing!’
‘F-female!’
A goddess that seemed to come from a movie was boiling noodles in the kitchen. Time seemed to stop as they stood there blankly.
On the other hand, Kang-jun was looking at the woman with a dumbfounded expression.
Of course, the female was Hayun. Why was Hayun quietly boiling ramyun here? The ghost was openly revealing herself.
Kang-jun wasn’t alone so he couldn’t talk to her. Kang-jun immediately grabbed Hayun’s hand and dragged her out of the kitchen.
“What are you doing right now?”
“Boiling ramyun.”
“I already know that! Why are you crazy enough to reveal your appearance in front of others?”
Then Hayun laughed.
“What’s wrong? They don’t know that I’m a ghost.”
“But you are a ghost. You should remain quiet like a ghost. Acting like this will just cause trouble.”
Hayun looked grouchy at Kang-jun’s words as tears formed in her eyes.
“So what if I am a ghost? Should I just stay curled up in my room if I am a ghost?”
“It is better than being seen by others.”
“Why? Do you think I will harm people?”
Kang-jun couldn’t think of anything to say.
Hayun hadn’t wanted to hurt anyone even when she was still filled with resentment. Moreover, she wasn’t a vengeful spirit anymore. Besides, she didn’t need to use the powers of a ghost unless Kang-jun was in danger.
The boat had also sailed. Hayun was seen boiling ramyun in the kitchen.
“I was so bored in the room. So I went to the kitchen. Is it wrong that the ramyun took a long time to boil? Huk!”
Hayun burst into tears. Kang-jun was dumbfounded.
“But can a ghost even eat?”
“Ghosts are still the same. I can boil ramyun or walk like a normal person if I wanted to. Even ghosts have feelings.”
Kang-jun sighed. He honestly couldn’t say that it was wrong. Kang-jun somehow understood the feelings of the ghost.
“Now stop crying. Eat ramyun or take a walk if you want. Rather, you can roam around during the day?”
“It is wrong that ghosts can only haunt people a night. We can go anywhere in broad daylight. However, we don’t have distinct forms like humans.”
“You have a distinct form.”
“It is only available for a limited amount of time every day. But now that doesn’t apply.”
“No?”
“Those restrictions are gone. An amazing thing.”
“What? Then you can live like a real human?”
“It happened the moment you accepted me.”
It meant Hayun changed after joining Kang-jun’s household. In other words, the power of Hwanmong gave Hayun the capabilities of a human.
“No way! So you are just like a human.”
“Yes but it is only possible within the goshiwon.”
“What does that mean?”
“Goshiwon. No, I lose my form the moment I step out of the 4th floor of this building.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know. But you should clearly know.”
