My little brother saved me from grandpa's ghost and I have the bruises to prove it

So this guy has weird shit happen around him constantly. Like genuinely sees ghosts. Believe it or don't, but hear me out.
He's got a younger brother. In high school they lived with their parents and grandpa. One day at school he gets the call that grandpa's critical, so he rushes home, grabs his brother, they both head to the hospital.
Walks into the room and there's mom and dad sitting there. This dude LOVED his grandpa so he's like full breakdown mode, crying, sitting down by grandpa's bed reaching for him. Grandpa tries to reach back to hold his hand. And that's when it happens.
Grandpa dies. Literally while trying to grab his hand. Just. Dies.
Fast forward a few days. Funeral's done, everything's over, everyone's exhausted and trying to sleep. The two brothers share a room with two separate beds.
So he's sleeping and he has this dream, right? Total blackness. Can't see anything. But way off in the distance there's this white light. He starts walking toward it. Then suddenly his brother appears behind him GRABBING his waist like "don't go don't go" and he's like "get off me" and keeps moving toward the light, dragging his brother along.
He gets closer to the light and... there's grandpa. Smiling so peacefully. "Did you come?" and "let's go together" and he GRABS the guy's wrist. But his brother's STILL holding him back from behind screaming "hyung don't go don't go." So now he's caught between grandpa pulling his wrist and his brother pulling his waist and the pressure on his wrist is AGONIZING. Like actually hurting him. So he's like okay fine, I'll listen to my brother. "Grandpa I'm staying" and he tells his brother to take him home.
Then the darkness just lifts. Gone. And he WAKES UP.
Except his brother is THERE. In real life. In his bed behind him. Wrapped around his waist. SOBBING. Like actually crying. "Don't go don't go PLEASE don't go you can't leave I can't" just absolutely wailing.
He turns on the lights, he's freaking out asking what's wrong and his brother's like... I don't know? I don't remember why I'm crying? "Why AM I crying?" and then he looks at the guy's wrist.
"Hyung... what happened to your hand?"
He looks down.
There are PURPLE FINGERPRINTS. Bruised into his wrist. Deep ones. Like someone SQUEEZED with serious force.
His brother saved him. That's the only explanation. They had the same dream because his brother literally came to get him.
(There's that thing people say about dead relatives coming to get you because you're lonely...)
