4 Shoes for you

"Follow me and do not wander off anywhere, alright?" said Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded. Both of them are waiting for a bus at the bus stop nearby the house. While they were waiting, lots of people have arrived waiting for the bus making Il Hwa got separated with Jaeho. Seems that people can't see nor touch her, she kept moving to the back feeling scared with the stranger and she just noticed that she was already standing at the end of the bus stop while Jaeho was at the front.

"J-Jaeho-ah!" called Il Hwa. Unfortunately, Jaeho couldn't hear her as he was listening to music with his earphone. Suddenly, the bus has arrived and the passengers are entering the bus one by one. Luckily, Il Hwa managed to enter safely without paying anything because people can't see her. No matter how loud she called for Jaeho, no one could hear it except Jaeho. But too bad, he's using his earphone.

The bus was too crowded and Il Hwa standing between two big man and she got nothing to hold on to. If the bus driver took an emergency break, probably she's going to fly away in the bus. Just as what she had thought, the bus driver took an emergency break, Il Hwa who was not holding on to anything almost fell down, but luckily, a man caught her hands. When she looked up, it was Jaeho.

"Be careful." Said Jaeho. "Come here, you can hold my bag." Added Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded.

"T-thanks." Said Il Hwa feeling thankful and hold his bag till they reached their destination.

After a few minutes of riding the bus, finally both of them have reached Hanyang University.

"Wahhhh~" said Il Hwa. She was awed by how big the university is. However, she couldn't even remember whether she used to be a university student or not, before she died. "You've never been to a university campus before?" asked Jaeho as he was walking next to her.

"Not sure… maybe yes, maybe no. I can't remember…" answered Il Hwa as she gave him her dry smiles.

"You can't remember anything?" asked Jaeho and Il Hwa shook her head.

"For now, I can remember my name only. The rest, I have yet to remember." Answered Il Hwa and she lower down her head.

"Don't worry," said Jaeho "you'll remember soon… maybe I can help you?" asked Jaeho. Il Hwa's face brightened up when Jaeho mentioned that he will help her remembering things. "Really?!" asked Il Hwa happily and Jaeho nodded.

"I used to have an amnesia for a while due to an accident… so my family and friends help me go through it and now, I can remember almost half of it. Don't worry, let's just do it slowly, alright?" said Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded.

"Alright." Beamed Il Hwa.

As they were walking, finally they've reached the lecture hall. Both of them took a sit next to each other. "Which one is your friend?" asked Il Hwa to look at the surroundings. Most of the students are talking with their friends, but Jaeho was sitting alone.

"It's an elective class. I do not have many friends here. But they all know who I am~" answered Jaeho. Then, a group of girls came near them.

"Jaeho sunbae," called one of the girls. "Is the seat taken?" asked the girl pointing towards the seat that Il Hwa was sitting right now. "Sorry girls, I put my bag here." Said Jaeho as he took the bag and placed in on Il Hwa's lap. "There are so many other seats, why don't you find one?" said Jaeho.

"O-okay sunbae." Said the girl and pouted, and left them.

"You mean they all know you, as in like that?" asked Il Hwa as she raised her eyebrows.

"What do you mean by like that?" asked Jaeho.

"The popular guy I guess? What do they call…" said Il Hwa as she tried to remember the word. "Ha! Ulzzang! Am I right?" asked Il Hwa as she brought her face near him. Jaeho was surprised seeing her face very close and tried to push her slowly.

"Y-yeah, kinda. Now please, I gotta be prepare for the class." Said Jaeho.

"Okay…" pouted Il Hwa. A few minutes later, the lecturer has arrived and started the class. While Jaeho was listening to the lecture, Il Hwa was sitting next to him in bored. Jaeho noticed that her head was bopping as she fell asleep. He let out a chuckle seeing how cute she is. Suddenly, the vision that he always got came out suddenly. The girl was behaving exactly like Il Hwa.

"Are you that sleepy?"

"Yeah.."

The girl who almost touch her head on the table just now heard him and answered with a smile.

Jaeho shook his head trying to get back to reality. He was staring at Il Hwa whose head almost touch the table from sleeping just like the scene in his vision just now.

*Just who are you?* thought Jaeho. Then, he took the bag on her lap and place it on the table and brought her head down the table gently and using his bag as the pillow so it would be comfortable for her to fell asleep.

"Don't know if ghosts can sleep too." Muttered Jaeho alone with a smile.

"Your class was boring that I fell asleep~" said Il Hwa while walking in front of Jaeho. She got so excited at every single thing. "Omg the tree was so pretty here!" said Il Hwa looking at the flowers blooming on the tree during the spring season. While both of them were walking, Il Hwa saw there's a small pond at the centre of the building.

"Ah-" said Il Hwa before a scene started to play in front of her.

She saw herself sitting on a bench near the pond waiting for someone. Then, she saw a guy walking towards her and she was hugging him tightly with a smile. When the vision has gone, Il Hwa tried to remember it again, but suddenly she felt sharp pain in her head.

"Oww…" said Il Hwa as she squatted down while holding her head trying to hold the pain.

Jaeho who was walking behind her, got so surprised seeing by her sudden action.

"Yah, are you alright?" asked Jaeho as he went near her.

"My head hurts…" answered Il Hwa and Jaeho can see that she was really in pain right now. "Come on, let's sit on that bench first…" said Jaeho as he helped her to stand up and brought her to the bench. Once they are seated, Jaeho noticed that she was still holding her head.

"What's wrong? D-do ghost got a headache too?" asked Jaeho and he found that his question was so silly for him to ask.

"I-I don't know… I was looking at this bench, then suddenly a scene just appeared in front of me…" answered Il Hwa.

"A scene?" asked Jaeho remembering that he had a vision too.

"I think I saw myself sitting on this bench… I was waiting for a guy… I was so happy seeing him that I straight away hugged him tightly…" said Il Hwa remembering the scene.

"Wait, so you're saying you were sitting here?" asked Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded. "Did you go to this university too?" asked Jaeho. "There is a possibility that you were a student here too. If not, why did you suddenly see yourself, sitting here?" said Jaeho.

"Yeah, you're right… probably I was a student here too. Oh my god, can't believe we studied in the same university!" said Il Hwa feeling happy. Jaeho was glad to see her smiles. "I guess we should help you remember it slowly… probably more memories are coming in… who knows?" said Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded.

Then, after sitting there for a while, Jaeho remembered that he still has another class to attend and both of them are going there together. While ll Hwa, she was feeling happy to know that both she and Jaeho went to the same university and can't wait to remember her memories.

****

All of Jaeho's classes have finally ended today and Jaeho was feeling hungry and decided to order some take out at a stall nearby the university. He was leading the way with Il Hwa following behind him feeling amazed seeing all those stalls and restaurant. "It's been a while I'm seeing the stalls and food streets!" said Il Hwa.

As they were walking, Jaeho saw a store that sells shoes. Then, he remembered that Il Hwa was using his sandals and thought of buying her a new shoe. Then, he took her hands and brought her to that store.

"Choose one." Said Jaeho while looking at the shoes.

"That's okay I can-" said Il Hwa but Jaeho cut her lines. "I don't think it's nice for you to wear a big sandals with that white dress… plus, I rarely buy things for people and you should feel honoured that I thought of buying you one~" said Jaeho while touching and looking at the shoes.

"A-alright then~" said Il Hwa as she looks and try on a few shoes. While she was choosing the shoes, she noticed that some of the shoes are quite expensive. Therefore, not trying to burden Jaeho, she chooses the cheapest one. Once she's satisfied with it, she tugged on Jaeho's shoulder and showed him the beige coloured flat shoes with a small daisy flower on top of the shoes. "Jaeho-ah, let's just take this one~" said Il Hwa with a smile. Jaeho saw that Il Hwa was holding the shoes and noticed the price.

"Are you sure? I can still afford if you want the other design…" said Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded. "That's okay, I like this one." Answered Il Hwa. "Okay then." Said Jaeho as he took the shoes and went to the shop assistant asking for the same size. Right after paying for it, both of them leave the store and took a sit on a bench nearby there.

"Here, change it." said Jaeho as he gave her the newly bought shoes. Il Hwa took the shoes and wear it. It was comfortable. Jaeho noticed that she was standing while looking at the shoes happily. "Was it comfortable?" asked Jaeho and Il Hwa nodded.

"Um! Thanks!" said Il Hwa happily. Jaeho literally smiles seeing how happy she was.
