OBFUSCATES
_Chap 3_

"Hyejin, forgive baba. Baba has to go now"

"Eh? Where's baba going?"

"Propa has to go to Wenzhou, Winwin shu shu got a little problem with the company"

Hyejin just nodded in response to the father's remark, her feet stepping into the house after making sure her father's car came out of the fence.

He and his father had just returned from the funeral, visiting his mother and Xinlong. For the umpteenth time he let out a long sigh, slowly his tears came down again.

Very tiring, he had been crying for a long time but not until when his tears could stop flowing. At every step he must always be reminded of Xinlong because before he really depended on Xinlong as his eyes.

Not to mention the strange creatures he saw, not a few of them disturb him or just invite interaction.

He sat himself down in front of his dressing table, his eyes looking at the paper that was strewn across the table. He really likes to draw even though the picture is in the form of graffiti because previously he could not see what was painted on the papers he drew.

Often Xinlong guided his hands to form simple, clear images, such as flowers, suns, and animals. Now he can see the work of his hands guided by Xinlong.

Smiling faintly then his eyes focused on one of the papers, his hands stretched out to pick up and read the small writing on the paper.

It was quite difficult, because all this time he read by relying on his sense of touch. But in the end he managed to understand the meaning of the writing.

It was Xinlong's address, Hyejin was sure of it. He recalled the time when Xinlong guided his hand to write that string of numbers and letters. Her smile widened, she looked at her sweet face through the reflection on her dresser glass.

But immediately he turned his gaze in the other direction, in the reflection of the glass he saw a female ghost with a smashed face standing behind him. It was a ghost who was in the cemetery earlier, he did not expect to be followed until here.

Shaking her head slowly, Hyejin got up while carrying the paper and stepped out. This is not the time to think about the creepy ghost, but now is his chance to find out the cause of Xinlong's death. Because if her father was at home would definitely not give her permission given the Xinlong family's always rude and demeaning attitude to Hyejin.

ooo

"So what's your purpose here?"

Hyejin crept the end of the skirt she was wearing, now she was sitting opposite the mother of Xinlong. Madam He, the person who was most against her and Xinlong's relationship. Even he could clearly see the look of hatred that the middle-aged woman was emitting.

"S-I want to ask you about Xinlong"

Sweat just kept flowing soaked his pelisis, his lips also slightly quivering.

Madame He was really creepy, her gaze was extremely sharp and intimidating the look on her face as well as wanting to show that she was much stronger than Hyejin.

And the other thing that scared Hyejin so much was, the big creepy figure standing behind her lover's mother, as much as possible Hyejin was just plain so that the creature did not know that Hyejin could see her.

Really, it's really troublesome when that thing knows you can see it. They will continue to follow you to ask for help solving their problems in the world so that they can leave in the afterlife.

Hyejin actually wanted to help, but they were all there were many and often very creepy forms. Not often they also want to come back to life and try to seize his body, therefore he tried to hide his ability.

"For what? Are you not satisfied? After making him defy me and then making him lose his life, you're still not satisfied?!"

Hyejin's body stiffened hearing the sharp speech accompanied by a shout by this interlocutor.

"You are a killer. He had a single accident at a stop near the hospital. If you hadn't asked Xinlong to accompany you in the hospital, then my son would still be here! Still with me!"

Hyejin lowered her head, her tears slowly falling back. His fear was now growing with guilt. Xinlong's mother was right, she should be unselfish by having Xinlong accompany her.

"Pardon me madam, thank you for the time. Excuse me"

The girl could no longer, so she chose to leave.

ooo

The only child of the Qian family was still faithfully absentmindedly looking out the window of the bus. Too reckless indeed for a person who has just been able to see the world and travel by bus, but Hyejin is determined. Xinlong used to take her on the bus when she was going to check up.

His gaze was diverted at the sight of a grandmother who had just entered the bus, then he looked in all directions inside the bus. It turned out that all the chairs were full, then he stood up to allow the grandmother to sit while he chose to stand crowded with some people who had just come home from work because the day began in the afternoon.

His gaze was again thrown out of the glass, there he saw an ice cream shop that he had visited with Xinlong. He could tell because in front of the store there was a colorful seat as described by Xinlong at that time.

_'deg'_

Hyejin's body stiffened due to the brash hands of a man standing behind her. He gulped his saliva with great difficulty, he felt fear now.

His eyes glanced back, towards the old man. He saw clearly the man was smiling obliquely, you son of a bitch.

He closed his eyes when he saw the man's hand begin to move.

"Oi old man. Be old don't do most of the whim"

Hyejin started to open her eyes hearing the screams of the man nearby

"Don't pretend to be deaf you're an old black shirt. You don't think I know your hands brazenly touch the woman in front of you"

"What do you mean, boy? Don't be so smart"

The attention of all passengers is now focused on their interactions.

"I have the evidence here, maybe I'll show it to the police and you'll take it with me"

The man who looks the same age as Hyejin was showing the screen of his cell phone is dead, his face does not show a look of fear even though he faced is someone who has a different age range.

"What are you really?! This girl doesn't matter, why are you angry?"

"Ck, he's quiet because he's afraid of stupid. And why am I angry? Because I'm his girlfriend"

After saying so he pulled Hyejin and embraced her. Letting that brash man out of the bus with the insults from the other passengers.

The bus then drove back quietly.

"Thank you for helping me"

Hyejin was nervous now, she had never been this close to other men besides her family, Xinlong, and Doctor Xiao.

And the man he just met who didn't even know his name was casually embracing his narrow shoulders, and what the hell was that sweet smile?

"Let's relax, oh yeah don't be so stiff. I know Zeyu, you yourself?"

Hyejin admitted, this guy named Zeyu is handsome. Very handsome even, until unconsciously Hyejin's cheeks flushed just because in the face with close proximity added a sweet smile someone who embraces her.

"Hyejin, Qian Hyejin"

"Oh lo blaster? after I know Qian is a Chinese clan but Hyejin is a Korean name"

Hyejin nodded in response to Zeyu's words, but due to the distance being too close and Zeyu being taller than her made her forehead accidentally come into contact with Zeyu's lips.

_Oh jeez!_

Hyejin pecked in place, I don't know why, but her heart was beating faster than usual. Even the girl's cheeks were now flushed.

While the man with the reddish-brown mane himself was still a little surprised by the incident but as much as possible he hid it.

"Where are you going?"

Trying to take his mind off of it, Zeyu tried to ask.

"To stop near the Hospital on this route"

"really? It turns out our goals are the same. With me alone, let's not be disturbed like that. Why did you diem?next time if there's something rude about the opponent"

"Yes, I was scared. Sorry"

Hyejin tore at her own lips, why did she use 'me' ?. Really he has trouble using 'lo-gue' language because as long as he interacts with his family and Xinlong always use 'me-you' or 'me-you'

Now it was not just her cheeks that were red but her entire face.

"Lo's funny"

Hyejin wanted to just disappear the feeling, this man easily said so with his raised hand shuffling his black hair without caring Hyejin's already beating heart was getting faster.
