"... *cough*... I guess I'll tell a story as well. But this is not a scary story, it's a rather sad story." said Sky to break the awkward moment.

Have anyone heard about Minghun which means Ghost marriage? It's a situation where two deceased individuals having a wedding and getting married, but in some cases, it would be a living person marrying a deceased. In some cultures, the family of the deceased would put the hair and birth date of the deceased into a red packet and placed it on the roadside, which indicates that the deceased get to choose their own husband /wife. Whoever that was 'chosen' and picked up the red packet would have to marry the deceased... And so, this story is about a boy that married a deceased girl.
B was a university student who was in his final year. One day, when he was strolling on the street near his hostel, he found a delicate looking red packet at the roadside, without any hesitation, he picked it up. Then he opened it to check the content, inside was a strand of hair with a paper that wrote down a girl's birth date and other details. Despite knowing what's the meaning of this, he calmly put the items back into the red packet and put it into his pocket.
That night he had a dream, in that dream, there's a pretty girl looking at him from a distance, tears can be seen in her eyes. He smiled as he recognized the girl, she was a childhood girl of him who died from a car accident last month, which is why he remains calm when he saw the contents of the red packet, he recognized her birth date. As they had been really close to each other since they were kids, B decided that he will marry her.
The next morning, he told his parents about what happened, and like most of the parents in the world, they refused to accept it, no one wants their only son to marry a ghost, but B insisted that he will marry her no matter what. After several weeks of trying to convince his parents about the marriage, they finally agree with B after he tells them one of his secrets.
Some days later, they had their wedding done in a public temple, the atmosphere was sorrow and heavy, not even have a single feels of a wedding.

Some of his friends and relatives thought that the boy died because of the deceased girl, but in fact, it's not. He was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer final stage the day before the girl died in the car accident, that is the secret he used to convince his parents in that marriage, and that is also the reason why the girl cried in his dream, she knows he did not have much time left. Maybe it's a fate that they are going to be together... In the afterlife. The end." said Sky. "Ah... That's kind of sad." said Chris. "That aside... What should I do with this?" said Sky while out a red packet. Chris glared at him and give out a long sigh.
