"There's no such thing as forgotten memories. Something will definitely trigger them."
________

V was near tears as he slowly walked out of the matchmaking shop. His eyes were fixed on Bom who was sobbing on the ground as her body shook violently. His heart ached as he tried to contain his tears.
However, suddenly, he felt a hard object fall on his head. It made a loud noise as he felt pieces of clay drop off his head and cut his face as blood trickled down his head. His eyes widened as he felt a stinging pain on his head as he grabbed onto his head . The pain that seared through his head to his abdomen burned and radiated. It was unbearable.
Immediately, he turned to see Bom as she rushed towards him as he heard her scream. He felt as if the room was spinning as he looked at Bom. He slowly collapsed on the ground, his vision of her running towards him frantically turned blurry from his tears and soon, black.
Soon, he opened his eyes, bright light filling up his vision as he squinted. In front of him was Bom as she sobbed quietly while holding his hand. However, she wasn't crying because she was upset that he would not admit he was the boy she met. Instead, she was crying out of pure fear or concern.

"W-Where am I?"

V asked, about to look around when his memories started flooding back like a river. His eyes widened as his heart raced. He saw images of him getting abandoned by his biological mother, him and Bom meeting in the park at 5, Bom and him playing with one another at her house and Bom's mother with tear filled eyes as she left him at the entrance of the orphanage.
He looked down to see a familiar looking flower on his lap that Bom's mother went back to give him. It was a zinnia. Images of him spending his time playing with the other orphans flashed before his eyes as he saw what seemed like his parents adopting him. Then, a horrifying scene of their parents' car crashing could be seen. Then, when he opened his eyes, he was at the hospital.

"Sir, your son seems to have lost all his memories,"

The doctor said. He saw his father get mad and started yelling as his mother sobbed painfully. His eyes widened as tears trickled down his cheeks. He remembered everything. He finally remembered everything. None of his dreams were dreams. They were memories.
Without hesitating, he sat up and hugged Bom who was sobbing. He held onto her head softly and pulled her close to his chest. He closed his eyes, causing tears to trickled down as he whispered softly with a quivering voice,

"I remember. I remember everything. We met at the park. You gave me a zinnia at the orphanage. I'm sorry for not remembering sooner."
