The sun was bright up above. Hyo turned around and looked to the sea in front of her and smiled widely. Blue was one of her favorite colors, blue and yellow and both were present today. The sun on the sky was a bright yellow and the blue on the waves had an intense deep blue tone that she loved so much.

The wind was blowing and she closed her eyes to breathe in the pure air. Coming to the beach was something that she always loved doing. She heard a fuss behind her and turned around to find a lot of people hanging out. They looked young but she couldn't recognize any of them.

She walked through the crowd and looked around her. They all seemed happy, as if they were celebrating something but there was no hint about what it was. She could hear a music on the distance, she toured the scene but she couldn't find any electronic device from where it could possibly came from.

She stopped walking when she finally found a familiar face. She recognized his profile and prominent dimples. It was Namjoon. He was wearing a colorful outfit. What seemed to be a pair of yellow shorts and a printed shirt. His hair was short but it had a bright pink color and he was talking to someone who was giving his back to Hyo.

She took a few steps and realized Namjoon was telling a joke and next to him was a tall boy with a hoodie on. He was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a baby pink hoodie. It looked like he was laughing at Namjoon's joke. The wind blew and suddenly she saw a pair of blonde strands flying away the hoodie.

She narrowed her eyes and walked to approach them. She looked at Namjoon but he seemed to be into the other's guy conversation. She yelled Namjoon's name but apparently the music was too loud for her to be heard. She touched the shoulder of the guy who was talking to Namjoon but just when he was about to turn around, everything went black.

Hyo opened her eyes and found herself in her room. Her heart beating faster and her clothes covered in sweat. She checked the clock and realized it was 3:29 a.m.

She sighed and stood from the bed and went to the bathroom. After washing her face she went downstairs to get a glass of water and quickly returned to her room in silence, she didn't want to wake up her mother or sister.

She closed the door and returned to bed only to find Tae waiting for her, sitting at the edge of the bed. He was looking at her with curious eyes and it seemed like he was in a good mood.

"Annyeong." He greeted her. She drank a few sips of water and placed the glass on her nightstand.

"Where were you?" He asked ignoring the fact that Hyo didn't answer his greeting.

"Getting water." She said pointing to the glass next to her. She turned off the light and laid in bed. Soon Tae's head popped up next to her. She noticed he was again levitating in an imaginary bed next to her.

"You look upset." He pointed out and she nodded.

"Wae?"

She thought on telling him about the dream but then she changed her mind. She doesn't know if she should be sharing personal things with a ghost. "It was nothing, I just needed to use the bathroom." She said wrapping her body in the blanket. Tae looked at her and nodded understanding.

"Where were you before I got up?" She asked turning her body to look at him. For a moment Tae jumped when he saw Hyo's face so close. She thought that judging by the look on his face, it seemed like he was nervous of being this close but she thought it was a stupid idea since he was just a vision.

"Sleeping." He said casually and she chuckled. He turned to look at in astonishment with a clearly offended face.

"What?" Hyo asked chuckling. He raised his eyebrows. "Why are you laughing? He asked narrowing his eyes which made Hyo laugh even more.

"As if ghosts could sleep...Come on." She said pressing her lips together and narrowing her eyes.

He opened his mouth widely in shock and shook his head. "I feel slightly offended."

"Wae?"

"I am not a ghost." He said pushing Hyo gently. She laughed. "What are you then?" She asked frowning.

"I am a vision." He said as if it was something fance and Hyo laughed. "I doubt it, you're only a ghost Tae." She said shaking her head.

He laughed but his laugh soon vanished. He looked away to the ceiling to avoid eye contact with Hyo. She stopped laughing and cleared her throat. It was hard to know if she had pulled a string in him, one that hurt him. She didn't imagine that ghosts had feelings.

"Anyway... What are you thinking about?" She asked looking at his profile. She knew admitting this was super dumb but she thought he had a handsome profile. He had a broad nose with a small mole in the middle which she found cute. Also he had thick eyelashes. She wondered what kind of boy he was before.

"I... I don't know." He muttered his words but Hyo listened. "What do you mean?" She asked.

He sighed and looked back at her. "Nothing, don't pay attention to me." He said smiling sadly. Hyo felt a bit sad in that moment. She wondered what thought had changed his mood so quickly.

"Ani... If you want to talk – She began but once she realized he was uncomfortable she shut her mouth and laid in bed in the same way he was, with her eyes to the ceiling.

"Do you have a favorite place?" She asked but he remained silent. She asked that question knowing the answer already since it'll be something like "I don't know" or "I can't remember". She asked the question more as if it was for herself.

"Mine used to be the beach... I think it still is." She said in a sweet voice. Tae remained silent as he looked at her.

"I haven't been in a beach since a long time ago... Maybe I should visit again." She said but soon felt her eyes closing. Everything went black and she gave in to dreamland.

"Did you finish cleaning your room?" Cha Sunjeon asked to her daughter.

"Ne eomma." She answered as she finished her tea. The mother nodded and began to clean up the table.

"Are you going somewhere today?" She asked and Hyo nodded.

"I was thinking on going to the beach again." Sunjeon's jaw dropped and shook her head.

"A-Ani... Ani... Why don't you go to the mall instead? You could buy something for you. My treat." She said sitting next to Hyo on the dining table.

"Thank you eomma, but I really want to visit the beach." She said as she took her own empty cup to the dishwasher. The mother sighed and followed her around.

"You know... They say the beach is dangerous now and it's too far now."

Hyo stopped walking and turned around to look at her mother who had worried eyes. "Eomma I'll be fine okay? I'll call you if anything happens but I highly doubt it." With a sweet smile she made her way upstairs. The mother remained silent in her spot as the thoughts clouded her mind.

It was Sunday and Hyo had finished all her chores in the house. She changed clothes, packed some things on her backpack and grabbed her bike to go to the beach. She was leaving through the front door when she heard her mother's voice.

"What if you come with me to the town?" She asked but Hyo shook his head laughing.

"I'll be back before 6:00 p.m okay? Saranghae." She said blewing a kiss to her mother and hopping up her bike. She rode the whole way to the beach, she knew the way because she has been with her sister several times when they visited the fish market that was only two blocks away from the beach.

After 15 minutes riding she spotted the water on the distance and smiled. She did her way through the sand and picked a spot. She opened her backpack and placed a towel on the sand and laid there. The air was fresh and the afternoon sky had a beautiful baby blue color. There were a couple of clouds on the sky and she smiled as she tried to find some shapes on it.

Hearing the water at the distance, the waves crashing, was always a relaxing sound for Hyo. She truly enjoyed being at the beach. She remembered those times they visited different beaches around the country, with her family. Her father loved going to the beach and making big picnics on the shore.

Many memories of her past flashed on her head. She considered herself lucky in a way, she only had bad dreams now and then but it wasn't too often. This was a good thing, because this way she wouldn't remember the things that happened oftenly.

She sat straight after a few minutes of being resting on her back and pulled a book from her backpack. She began to read it but soon something caught her eye. A hummingbird.

Hyo frowned as she looked at the small bird flying around, for only a couple of seconds. She followed the bird's flying trajectory but soon she got distracted by the beach's atmosphere. Her eyes toured around the place and she noticed she was alone.

Then she noticed that the place she had picked to lay her towel looked so familiar but she couldn't figure out from where. After a few minutes of hard thinking she realized she has dreamt about this place before. That dream about the party on the beach with Namjoon and other people.

She stood from the ground and turned around. Soon her head flashed the images and she dropped her book to the ground when she realized the images matched the place where she was standing right now. Soon the atmosphere became gloomy and a weird feeling climbed up her body, as if someone was watching her but the beach was completely lonely.

For a moment she thought about Tae. Maybe he was here. "Tae?" She found herself whispering to the wind but as expected she did not received any answer. He wasn't there.

She jumped when a big wave crushed against one of the rocks beyond the shore. Water splashed around and she swallowed hard.

Picking up her stuff, she rushed to grab her bike and make her way back home. Visiting the beach gave her a weird vibe and there was something inside her heart that she couldn't figure out quite yet, like a familiar feeling of sadness.

Once she opened the front door she found her mother and sister sat on the living room watching TV. The mother stood and followed Hyo around. "How was it?"

Hyo stiffened as she took the bike to their backyard, she turned around to face her mother as she smiled. "It was okay but it was lonely, that's why I returned sooner." She said as she walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.

"Really? It's because that beach isn't safe anymore... There had been robberies and that kind of things." The mother said with widened eyes.

Hyo smiled and nodded. "Jinjja?... I'll go to my room now."

She made her way upstairs and walked inside her room, she closed the door behind her and removed her backpack and placed it on the floor. She turned around and found Tae looking through the window. He was giving his back to her. She though he was too quiet and this wasn't normal for him.

Taking a few steps towards him, she stopped once she was close. She opened her mouth to ask something but he turned around. Hyo noticed how his eyes were full of panic, his lips slightly parted and trembling. He blinked twice and she noticed how his eyes were teary.

"I remembered." He said blinking several times to prevent the tears from falling. Hyo widened her eyes and took a step closer to him.

"Taehyung... That's my name."
