Notes

Wednesday, July 17th 20XX.

That morning we were all happy because we finally moved to a larger house. More larger and wider than the previous one. We all senior students in a prestigious university in a city that doesn’t need to be mentioned in this short story. Previously, we lived in a small house located in a noisy environment so that we couldn’t learn in peace for our study. That was the reason why we moved to another house.

There were 3 of us, or in fact there are still 3 of us. My name is Baekhyun. 3 others named Sehun, Jaehyun and Chanyeol. We bought the house from an old mysterious man who offered the house right when we were talking about plans to moved somewhere. He put up a very cheap price for the house. it was clear we were immediately interested in buying it. Then, we asked for money to our parents in case to bought the house. My parents were quite surprised when they heard how cheap the price of the house was. My father had told me not to be careless in choosing a house. he seemed suspicious. But his advice was ignored by me.

Sehun said his parents said the same, even worse. When they saw the house pict, they said the house was haunted by something. It was enough to make us shuddered at the beginning, but we laughed it off because we thought it was very silly.

The first night, the second night and the third night all went normally. We did our business as usual and no strange thing happened. There are times I thought of my father's advice and waffle and hence shuddered. though normal, I did feel there is something odd in the house. The house was too broad, too fancy, too classical for the affordable pricing. Very big. More bigger than you can imagine. It has (yea it still exists up to this day) a large yard and rear, a basement and three floors above. The house can accomodate 100 people, ah no, even more than that. During the first month, we didn’t hire workers to clean the house. We couldn’t browse the entire contents of the house. Even untill this day, untill this story is written, i don’t know all the locations perfectly.

In the second month, we hired two helpers. They were two middle-aged women who came to offered themselves for works when the four of us were playing basketball in the front yard. We were surprised and we welcomed them well. They were friendly. they worked part-time. So they came in the morning every day and went home at dusk. It took about two full months until the entire rooms in the house were cleaned.
Abnormal things began in the fourth month. At that time we were eating dinner while watching TV at the center room when we heard the sound of broken glass from the kitchen.
“is it mrs.Blake?” Jaehyun asked around.

“no, i dont think so. Mrs.Blake just got back several minutes ago. I saw her passed over the front gate” Chanyeol replied.

“i’ll go and check it” Sehun voluntereed as he started his steps to the kitchen.
I remained seated and continued my eating while others were busy with the noise. I was calm even though my heart felt uncomfy. Sehun got back with his finger bleed.

“are you okay” i asked him while staring at his finger.

“yep. no big deal. I cleaned up the broken glass and my finger was accidentally scratched.” He explained cooly as he walked to the P3K box, taking an Elastoplast and then back to his seat.

we continued our dinner with conversations about the noise that had just occurred.
We slept in different rooms. Jisan was rooming with Chanyeol and me with Sehun. Me and Sehun swapped stories before we sleep.

“do you believe that ghosts are real?” i started.
“yes, of course. I've experienced some unpleasant incidents with them” he replied.
“mind to share with me?” i beg him.

“one of them just happened 2 hours ago, in our basement” he started explained.

I made up my eyes

“are you kidding me? Seriously” i got shocked.

“seriously. I swear. I had accidentally discovered this house and tried to went to the basement. There, I smelt something unusual. Suddenly, when I wanted to investigate further, Mrs.Blake emerged from the door and shouted at me. She said that I’m not allowed to do something stupid around this house and told me to get back up or I'm gonna spend the rest of my life full of regrets. I went along. However, when I was about to climb the stairs to above, there was a flash, what is it.. hmm I don’t know how to call it. I certainly felt something went by behind me, making me shiver. And also, earlier, I feel stupid if we believe that the glass could fall by itself. When I went into the kitchen, I noticed that the glasses are set away from the edge of the closet. I feel there is something odd in this house. Something invisible. Something that appeares in this month. and strangely, Something that appears when I just opened the basement. It wont stop just by here. I can feel it.”

PRANGGGGGG

We were unpleasantly surprised. Someone seemed just threw our window with some rocks. Me and Sehun, both of us were in deep silent. No voice was sounded. No movement were shown. Sehun wanted to moved and sneaked off but I held him out.

“not now. too risky.” I reminded him.

He nodded as backs to his bed and lying on it. We tried to sleep but could not. I refused when Sehun wanted to turned off the lights. I had never seen a ghost and didn’t intend to saw any of them.

“I don’t remember seeing any clock in this house. so far, we only wear watches as a time guide” Sehun began to fear, as well as myself.

DOR DOR DOR....

Our room door was knocked by someone. We were frozen and did nothing.

“keep still” i commanded him.

He nodded. Our door was keep knocked by someone out there. I could feel my heart was beating quickly.

“OPEN THE DOOR YOU STUPID ASS. I’M ABOUT TO DIE” someone screamed. It was Jaehyun’s voice.

Me and Sehun jumped out of our beds and rushed to the door. I unlocked the door nervously. There was none. There was no one behind the door. We looked at each other, wondering what just happened. Suddenly, our window was slowly knocked by someone.

“RUN!!!!” Sehun screamed. We were running to the dining room. We were sweating. shortly afterwards, there were footsteps went toward us in the dark. It was Jaehyun.

“did you see Chanyeol? I had to get up and pee and when I came back, I didn’t see him in our room.” Jaehyun asked sleepily. “and why are you guys sweating?” he continued while yawning.

I pulled Jaehyun and made him sit on a chair. Sehun told him everything that just happened to us.

“no kidding. This is the most terrible night ever. I even saw a strange reflection in the mirror when I pee.” he said in dismay.

“what reflection did you see?” sehun asked.

“I'm not sure, but I remember it looked like a girl” Jaehyun explained.

When we're busy discussing it, the lights suddenly dimmed slowly.

“what is it now?” sehun spoke in frustation.

All the lights went out and suddenly someone shouted in darkness. It was Chanyeol’s voice. The heavy one. Jaehyun wanted to hurry away, but I and Sehun held him out.

“this was happened to us earlier. Don’t fall for it. Keep still and do nothing” I ruled him.

That sound was increasingly loud and seemed to be in trouble or in pain or great fear. Jaehyun couldn’t stand it. He ran alacrity. Me and Sehun were shocked and run chased him. Jaehyun ran to the basement. Indeed, that was where the sound coming from.

“don’t go there you idiot!” Sehun screamed. But too late, Jaehyun was running down the stairs to the basement.

We followed him. Jaehyun keep paced, getting closer to the sound source. The sound brought us to a door. There was an underground room. Jaehyun opened it.

There was a girl in white, with shoulder-length hair, smiled at us. she was very cute.

“hello there” she greeted us.

I looked around, Chanyeol was lying on the corner of the room, unconscious.

“sorry to have bothered you and brought you here. But I can not reveal myself apart in this room.” She spoke calmly.

“do not worry, your friend is sleeping. he is my friend. we talk every day. he is very kind. That's the reason why I brought you here.” She continued.

“what damn reason?” Jaehyun asked harshly.

“if he’s not kind, you all might have been killed. By me” she grinned. “usually, those who dare to open the basement door will instantly be killed by me. But not for you guys. It’s because of him” she smiled cutely.

“my name is Wendy” she introduced herself.

“i died 5 years ago. I was in the same age as you guys. I was a happy girl but my insane papa killed me” she spoke sadly.

“that was my papa who offered you this house.” She explained.

“so, you have killed many people” Chanyeol spoke. Seemed he just woke up from his silent sleep.

“woke up already, channie?” she asked Chanyeol softly.

“answer my question” Chanyeol spoke coldly. “i thought you were human”

She shook his head. “just kidding. ghosts can't kill people.” she laughed.

“then, what do you want from us?” i asked her.

“i want you guys to get out of this house. please, I dont’ want to be bothered by anyone.” She spoke seriously.

“only that?” sehun asked.

She nooded. “i’ll give you a week to do that.” suddenly she dissapeared.

We moved a week later. We didnt sell the house. Even up to this day we still havent sold it to anyone. We want her to live her astral life happily.

So, Chanyeol was the first one to opened the basement door. He opened it when the first time we arrived at the home. He went further and found the room. He also found the girl but he was seeing her as a human. She said that she was a little girl who had a serious illness so that she couldn’t get out of that room. He asked Chanyeol to kept silent about it. That night was the peak. She knew that she would not be with Chanyeol forever. So she prefered to let us go. She was the one who made all the sounds and voices we heard that night. She even showed herself as a reflection to Jaehyun through a mirror.

The house is still there up to this day. Chanyeol sometimes travels alone and retursn home with a happy smile. he always says that Wendy is fine. Wendy is a good-hearted ghost ever.

-THE END-
