A/N

Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter. This one is all Yeonbin, so buckle in. It's been a crazy week of exams for me, so I'm sorry if this chapter isn't up to par. But I hope you enjoy it regardless. Thanks everyone! =^_^=

------------------------------

"Soobin, I can see your worry from a mile away."

Soobin had met up with Yeonjun back on campus, waiting for the next bus to arrive so it wouldn't look too weird. The last thing Soobin needed was the bus driver's eyes on him if he re-entered the same bus after just getting off. Soobin's mind was running a mile a minute, trying to figure out what to try next.

"Soobin?"

Soobin shook his head slightly, looking towards Yeonjun next to him. He saw Yeonjun pointing to the new bus that arrived, but he could also see how closely Yeonjun was watching him, most likely out of worry. Soobin smiled before boarding the new bus and taking a seat in the back. Luckily, the bus only had one other passenger in the front. Once seated, Soobin glanced towards Yeonjun, speaking in a whisper.

"I'm fine. Just ... thinking."

"Don't think too hard." Soobin looked at Yeonjun, the man staring right back at him. "Remember, the outcome isn't the end of the world. If it works, great. If not, I appreciate everything you're doing, especially since finals are right around the corner."

Soobin chuckled, eyes looking towards the floor. He sees the person in the front of the bus glance his way, biting his lips to quiet his laugh and look out the window. He couldn't see that Yeonjun was glaring at the person in the front.

After a couple more stops, Soobin gets off at the same place they did before, the chalk mark still at the same spot on the sidewalk from before. Soobin crossed the mark, motioning for Yeonjun to stay a couple feet away from the mark. Yeonjun nods, waiting as Soobin rummages through his backpack. After grabbing something, he keeps the object hidden in the backpack.

"I'm just ..." Soobin looks at Yeonjun before looking back at the ground. "I'm afraid it won't work. And ..." Soobin's eyes glanced at Yeonjun. "... I don't want you to be disappointed."

"Soobin ..." Yeonjun took a couple steps forward before glancing back at the mark on the sidewalk, stopping abruptly and taking a step back. "Why do you keep thinking I'll be disappointed? You could never disappoint me."

Soobin looked up to see Yeonjun smiling fondly, hands in his pockets as he occasionally looked between the floor and Soobin. Soobin looked back in the backpack, gripping the object before taking a deep breath before bringing it out.

Yeonjun noticed Soobin holding two posters that he had bought for Yeonjun's new room in the dorm. Yeonjun hadn't even noticed them missing this morning, wondering why Soobin had brought them out here.

"I really don't think this one is going to work, but it's worth a shot." Soobin shrugged, closing his backpack as he stood up.

"Are those the posters from my room?"

"Y-yeah. Sorry, I know we just bought them, but if this could help ..."

"Let's do it." Yeonjun interrupted Soobin, causing the man to look at him suddenly. "If it doesn't work, we'll try something else."

"Okay." Soobin nods, pulling out a lighter. "Something on a forum mentioned that burning some of the person's belongings and keeping the ashes could attract spirits. It sounds absolutely crazy, and I really don't think it'll work. But I'm willing to try anything, even if it sounds far off."
