Anamnesis| Taehyung [Completed]

◇Forty Seven◇

Present Day:-

Munhee's Pov:-

The warm water ran through my body as I closed my eyes to forget every confusion and complication in my life for a few moments. Everything just fell upon me like a ton of bricks. I recalled everything from top to bottom.

'Anamnesis'

That's what Jungkook told me. The recalling of memories that a person had lost through selective anamnesis.

Taehyung used to be my classmate in high school along with Jimin. Now I did remember how Jimin used to bully Taehyung who was a typical nerd, quiet and studious. Jimin was the bully, Taehyung was the nerd and I was the dull observer.

I had never spoken to Taehyung or Jimin in high school. I met Jungkook during one of the most anticipated football matches (note the sarcasm) under the bleachers, both of us trying to escape.

"You trynna escape too?" A voice called me from behind and I looked over my shoulder, meeting a pair of doe eyes. I fully turned around to see him properly.

The boy was tall, at least taller than me and was well-built. He looked like he was young and I assumed that he was a junior. I nodded with a scrunched face. He chuckled in return.

"Yeah, and don't worry, it's not just because of the match." Both of us let out a hearty laugh.

I extended a hand, waiting for him to shake it.

"I'm Munhee. Lee Munhee." He took my hand in his and shook it gently.

"Jeon Jungkook, Freshman."

"Kinda figured." I squinted my eyes as I nodded my head.

He furrowed his eyebrows as his lower lip stuck out. "Huh?"

"Um, you look young." I stated, pointing a finger at him, making him chuckle.

"Yet I'm taller than you." I playfully hit his arm and both of us laughed out loud.

"Anyways, are you going out with someone?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion as to why he was asking me that.

"Oh, don't get creeped out, you just seemed fun to be around. So I was just wondering if you'd maybe like to hang out?" I gulped, this was the first time someone wanted to be around me. Maybe I did seem interesting, but I was sure that I'd drive him away just like the others who I wanted to be around.

I smiled back at the handsome boy and nodded. "No I'm not going out with anyone. And yes, I'd love to hang out with you."

I opened my eyes and turned off the shower, grabbing a towel to dry myself.

What hit the wrong spot was that these boys thought that it'd be a good idea to shape my life in a way that made sense to them, but not me. I admit, Jungkook cheated on me and I did the same, so I was not totally mad at Jungkook. I was more mad at Taehyung and the rest for keeping things from me. My own forgotten life.

Taehyung apparently loved me, and I did the same before the accident. So didn't he have the least conscience to tell me? One interesting fact that had occurred to me was that old memories were coming back to me very slowly. I suddenly recalled how he used to say that he loved me, and I never replied back.

But eventually I had to grow up and face things. At the point of life, all I wanted to do was run away, far away from things. I wanted things to go back to how they were. I didn't know how I was supposed to face Jungkook, because I was wrong as well.

So the next thing I did was pick up my phone and call the boys home.

Taehyung's Pov:-

I licked my lower lip in nervousness. My eyes travelled from Jungkook's face to Munhee's face. That angelic face that I had been adoring for so long. I wanted to be happy for Munhee, with whatever her decision was going to be, but I couldn't.

I wanted to be selfish for just once. Even though I had always told Munhee that I had never seen her in school, I actually had. The girl with the bored expression who sat at the back of the class intrigued me. I wanted to talk to her, but I couldn't. I couldn't protest when Jungkook asked her to be his girlfriend.

But I proved that I was a coward when she told me about Jungkook who was cheating on her and I grabbed the opportunity. I went behind my best friend's back and made love to Munhee behind closed doors. I was a coward and declared my love when no one was watching.

"So..." Munhee cleared her throat.

"I um.."

"Take your time." Jimin smiled and assured.

I crossed my palms on my lap and stared at a wall. I lifted a finger to swipe away beads of sweat from my forehead, as Yoongi Hyung came back with our cups of coffee.

"I um.. wanted to talk about myself. As you all know, I'm still trying to soak everything that's happening around me. And I don't want you guys to live in an illusion that I've forgiven you, because it's still going to take some time." I lowered my head further at this.

What if she never forgives me?

"We don't expect you to forgive us anytime soon, so please don't pressurize yourself." Jin Hyung spoke up. I looked up at Munhee who nodded.

"So I've come to some realisations, that just like Jungkook, I was wrong too. I involved myself with Taehyung when I was pretending to be a saint all along. And I-" Munhee's voice broke as she choked on her tears.

I got up almost instinctively to move towards her, but Jungkook beat me to it. Munhee stopped his hand which he had raised to caress her back. "No, let me finish."

"I want things to go back to how they were." My heart shivered and I swear I could feel myself blacking out when Munhee looked up at Jungkook with pleading eyes. "Will you give me another chance? I don't know if this is the right choice or not, but I just want to go with the flow and see if things go back to how they were?"

I would've passed out then and there if Hobi Hyung was not holding onto me as tightly as he was. My heart shattered to pieces as I watched Jungkook wipe his fresh tears with the back of his hand before he bent low to engulf Munhee in a hug that she must've missed.

"Congratulations." Was the only thing I said before I grabbed my jacket and left when it was time for us to leave.

"Hyung..." Jungkook ran up to me to catch up outside Munhee's apartment as I turned around to face him.

"No Jungkook, don't be sorry. Now, I want you to keep her happy or else I'll be back to take her, and this time for good." Both of us chuckled at my sense of humor that was there even when my heart was breaking. "I'm so glad that you're okay with her decision."

I smiled and firmly grabbed him by his shoulder as I turned him around so that he was facing Munhee's apartment before I gave him a light push.

"Go and have fun, bye." I said before my smile faded and I turned to leave.

No, I was not okay. Not okay at all. I wanted to be selfish for once. I wanted her to myself. I hated how they assumed that I'd be okay with her decision after loving her more than Jungkook ever could. I hated how she didn't even look at me when she told us her decision. I hated how used I felt. How years of love meant nothing to her and how she broke my heart with the simple snap of her fingers. I hated how much of a use-and-throw I was.

I thought you'd be there for me, what happened to that?

I dug my hand in the pocket of my overcoat and fished out a ticket to L.A. I sarcastically chuckled to myself at how it was so smart of me to have already booked a ticket, even though I still had some hope left. I wanted to escape, even if it meant for a while.

And I was happy for Munhee, and I only hoped that she'd forget about me if she had not already.
