July 29, 2022

The weather isn't that good, clouds are thickening as it starts to become a little red and it feels like it might rain soon. Well, tough luck cause Taeyong didn't bring an umbrella with him.

He just sighed as he waits at the bus stop, he forgot to bring his wallet with him since he wasn't planning to buy anything in the first place.

Not too long when the raindrops started to pour down, he just stared at it. Night skies are actually pretty even though there were no stars to be seen. And the scenery wasn't familiar, however, the place got an impact on him.

Taeyong's attention was stolen when his phone vibrated, "Where are you? I'm outside your apartment and you're obviously not here. Yong, you know it's dangerous for you to go out, right? Plus, it's raining."

It was Ten's voice, he heard how concerned his friend is so he smiled a little. "Don't wait for me, I'll be home late."

"Late? I just said that it's dangerous for your condition-" It was quite disrespectful yet Taeyong chose to hang up without hearing his friend out.

He's much more aware than anyone about his condition. He just got out of the hospital last week, from a 3-month comatose and now.. he can't remember anything.

Right where he is right now, right in front of the highway he got an accident into- he tried to remember something. But he guess.. no more hope for that.

"Shit!"

He immediately stopped spacing out, he glanced at the man who appeared soaking wet. "Sorry, did I disturb you?" the man smiled apologetically.

Taeyong shook his head and avoided looking at him. He felt the man sat down two chairs away, he didn't mind though. It's just.. awkward?

"Did the last bus.. already passed by?" The unknown man broke the silence. Taeyong looked at him again, "Not sure either."

Both kept quiet, the sound of the cars and the rain were the only thing that could be heard. Atleast, it wasn't awkward anymore.

Few minutes passed and the rain still won't stop, it's much heavier than Taeyong thought.

"Taeyong, right?" The man spoke again.

At this point, he isn't shock that random people knows him. After waking up from coma with amnesia, his friends explained that he's quite popular for publishing 2 books before the accident.

He just nodded, not even looking back. "I'm Jaehyun, a huge fan of yours." A man spoke another.

Hearing the name, Taeyong's forehead creased. "Jaehyun... sounds familiar." He murmured, but enough for the other to hear.

Jaehyun chuckled softly, "It's also the name of one of your characters from your first book, right?"

That made sense, Taeyong didn't know what to say so he just shrugged. He actually haven't read any of his books yet, he's still adjusting to the world.

"I've heard what happened to you, I'm just glad you're here and safe." Jaehyun's obviously trying to start a conversation, and Taeyong felt bad cause he doesn't want to keep it going.

At this point, socializing is his last option.

Jaehyun cleared his throat, "Is it true though that you lost your memories?"

Taeyong knows they'll be stuck under the shed for a few more minutes, guess it won't hurt to talk with a stranger. Right?

"Yeah, still adjusting since last week." He answered honestly, glancing at the man again.
