Ghost Dusk
Chapter 5 - Caught

...༻◈༺...

Julie's face was flushed with embarrassment. That was the reason he had gone so far away from June. But the handsome ghost certainly did not remain silent. With her little run, June tries to walk next to Julie.

"Your face is flushed! Are you cold?" ask June to investigate. He manages to catch Julie's face, which is embarrassed by the words of praise.

Acts and speech may lie. But not for body language. Julie was really shocked when she heard June quip about her face.

Julie was flirting herself. He left his eyes in all directions. Trying hard to avoid June's gaze.

What Julie did made June squint. Lately, Julie has been suspicious. Somehow June felt the girl knew of her presence.

"Julie? Are you all right? If you're cold, buying hot chocolate at your favorite cafe might be a good idea" June suggested. He looked at Julie with the corner of his eye.

Julie grunts violently. He stopped stepping for a moment. Sweeping snow on hair and clothing.

"Yes, obviously the snow that sticks to you gives off a chill. If only I could touch you." June grunted violently. He continued, "i really want to touch you, Julie..."

Julie who heard closed her eyes. Then exhale from the mouth. Obviously he tried to calm himself down. Now Julie feels completely out of control. Maybe June is the only ghost she can't ignore.

The thing Julie wanted most now was to go home. He also started to feel cold because of the snow. Julie is moving forward again. Followed by June who kept trying to equalize the steps with her.

If dusk isn't over, June will follow Julie everywhere. Including the apartment.

Upon arrival at the apartment, Julie turns on the heating. Considering the snow outside is getting heavier.

Julie's phone rings. He receives a call from Zac who is none other than Julie's own real father.

"Yes, Dad?" answer Julie. Flank your phone with your shoulders and ears. The girl's hand was busy collecting dirty dishes and glasses into the sink.

"Are you in the apartment?" ask Zac. She was certainly worried about Julie who was living alone in the apartment.

"Yes, I just got back from the super market."

"Thank God. I heard the snow in California was falling pretty heavy. You better not go anywhere until the weather gets better."

"Yes, Dad."

"Be careful. If there's anything call me, your mother, or Axton!"

"Yes, Dad."

Along with that, Julie gets another call from Sasha. He breathed a heavy breath. Julie is really tired of facing the attention of her family who seem excessive.

Julie ends her call with Zac. Then pick up Sasha's phone.

"Are you in the apartment? You have a lot of food, right? I'm afraid there's going to be a blizzard." Just like Zac, Sasha also shows excessive worry.

"Please don't go anywhere before the snow subsides. And I suggest you don't take a taxi. You better walk or take the subway." Sasha gave advice.

"Yes, Mom." Julie replied while turning the lazy eyeball.

"And I happen to keep-"

"It was before, Mom. I have to go to the bathroom. Hye!" Julie, tired, immediately turned off the phone call. Now he can grunt.

Just finished loose from Zac and Sasha, Axton became the third person to call Julie.

"Damn! Why are they always overreacting! I'm not a child" grumbled Julie with a frowning forehead.

"That's because they love you so much" said June, who has been watching Julie from the dinner table. He seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the table.

Julie was shocked to the point of screaming. He almost forgot that dusk was not over. A sign that June must be with him.

"Julie? Can you hear me? Why do you look so surprised?" timpal June's. His pupils are enlarged. Because he managed to catch Julie jolted in shock due to her reprimand.

Panic, that's what Julie felt. He tried to be calm as usual. He then fled by picking up Axton's phone.

"Yes, of course. Why?" Julie asked.

"Me and Agnes are going to go there."

"Don't try!"

"Come on... I happen to be with my friend too. We happened to be caught in the snow and could not go home. We're pretty close to your apartment."

"Once I say no, still no!" Julie turned off the phone unilaterally. He rubbed his face rough.

"Why? Does Axton piss you off?" ask June. He's standing by Julie.

"No! You're the one who pisses me off!" because in a bad mood, Julie reflex answers June's question. It makes June realize that all this time Julie can see and hear it.

"Julie? Can you see me? Since when?" June happy. He met Julie with a lot of questions.

Julie's eyes popped. He closed his own mouth. Despite that, he rushed away from June. Julie went into the bathroom.

"Julie! You can really see me, right?" June went into the bathroom. He asked the same question over and over again.

June gasps as she watches Julie undress one by one. Now his face is red.

"You want to take a shower?" asked June who was still silent on the spot and noticed.

"Yes! Can you go now?!" julie's hatch. Since he had already been caught, he could not pretend anymore.

"You really saw me! You see me?!" June responded with excitement.

Julie squashed her eyes. He ruffled his waist while shaking one of his legs.

"alright. I'm going out. Quick shower! The twilight is coming to an end" June said as she left the bathroom. His body through the door.

Julie took a deep breath and bowed. He's upset with himself.

After a few minutes, Julie came out of the bathroom. He was wearing a kimono towel.

June rushed over. He can't wait to talk to Julie.

"Julie, I-I"

June did not speak as Julie raised her hand in front of her face. "I have to change clothes" he said flatly. Without looking at June.

Despite having special feelings for June, Julie is self-aware that her feelings are wrong. A human like him shouldn't fall in love with a ghost. Obviously it's not normal.

"All right." June nodded and smiled. He let Julie into the room.

The door slowly opened. Axton apparently did not listen to Julie's warning. The man continued to take his girlfriend and friend to the sister's apartment.

Julie came out of the room with a sullen face. He hurriedly faced Axton. But when she saw that there were two other people who were with her brother, Julie let down her anger. The girl developed a smile like she had to.

"Hi, Julie. It's good to see you again." Agnes greeted Julie with a warm hug.

"Me too" said Julie. His anger faded when he received a warm welcome from Agnes..

"Fred, meet Julie." Axton introduces Julie to her boyfriend. He immediately looked towards Julie. "And Julie. It's Fred! My close friend and Agnes" he continued.

"Hi, Julie." Fred reached out to Julie.

"Hi..." Julie welcomes Fred's hand. The two shake hands with each other.

Fred looked at Julie. Until he forgot to let go of the girl's hand.

"Damn! Why did Axton bring this guy here?!" furious June who was angry with Fred's deep gaze.
