REMEMBER (Michaeng)

Part 22 "The Felt of Longing"

MINA'S POV

I went to the SCY's coffee shop to look for Chaeyoung but I didn't see him.
I badly needed to talk to him. I roam around and even talk to the other staff but they said he didn't come there. When I about to go out, someone called my name. I looked around and saw this girl.

"Mina!" She hugged me and caress my hair. "I'm so sorry for thinking bad to you. I really thought you left my brother."

"Uhm, sorry. You're Chaeyoung's sister right?" I asked and break the hug to see her face.

"Yes, I'm Jihyo. I know you don't remember me, but we are close before. I just got angry when you left but I'm regretting it all. I should know first what happened to you." She said as she nearly cry.

"Uhm, I don't even know what to react but I'm also sorry for not remembering you. But I'm looking for Chaeyoung right now." I replied.

"He didn't come today. I guess he's on his condo unit taking his rest."

"Okay, sorry if we talk in a fast pace, I just need to see him asap. We'll talk again next time. Bye, Jihyo." I waved he and say my goodbye as I rushly hailed a taxi to go home.

After a few minutes, I'm already in front of his unit.  I push the button of the door bell once. But no one's opening the door. I tried to push it for three times consecutively, but really no one's there. I get my phone and called his number. But it's just ringing.

Where the hell are you, Son Chaeyoung?! I didn't notice my tears are already falling. All this time, he's with me around but he didn't tell me anything. I'm so pissed right now. How I couldn't remember the person I love. You're so stupid Mina.

He's not answering my calls. I went down to the lobby then got out the building. I went to this nearby park and look around. But no shadows of him. I look also at the other area of the park, but really can't see him.

I look down on my feet and it's getting red. My feet were hurt because I'm wearing sandals. I need to find a bench so I can sit first. I went to the broad tree where there is only one available bench beside of it. Then I saw someone sleeping under the tree.

At last, I saw him.

That's why he didn't answer all the calls I made. He's asleep. I carefully sat beside him, my tears still flowing. I touch his face. I want to cry silently but I can't. My sob is too loud. I felt him move and begin to wake up. He suddenly sat up and look shock to see me.

"Mina, what happened? Why are you crying? Please tell me." His looks are so worried.

"You, why didn't you tell me? We're just few inches apart. Why did you keep it from me?" I said while still crying.

"What is it Mina? I can't understand you." He wipe my tears using his fingers and hug me but I didn't let him. I slightly gave punches to his chest but he caught my hands.

"Stop pretending Chaeyoung. I already know everything. Why didn't you tell me that I'm that person you love? That I'm your girlfriend." I asked as I try to let go my hands to him. But he was firm.

"Who told you?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore! Don't you know the feeling that I've been holding? That everyone I met is like a stranger to me. That everyone looks so worried when everytime they see me. That almost everyday I keep asking myself why I can't remember everything. It's so hard Chaeyoung! Why didn't you just tell me sooner? I've been hurting you like hell yet you're just pretending that it was always fine."

"I'm sorry I didn't know-" I cutted his words.

"You never know this guilt I have when everyone say it's my fault that all these years, your life have been miserable because of me. That I ruined your career. Everyones telling you wasted your life Chaeyoung! And that is because of me."

"No-no baby, don't say that. It's not true. I did those things because I love you so much. Never ever blame yourself please. Baby, listen to me first" I heard him crying too.

"But-" He pulled me off and kiss me. It was a light kiss, but why I am hurting more when he's kissing me. So I push him.

"No, Chaeyoung. Maybe having an amnesia is good enough for me. To take you away from me so I can't ruined your life anymore." I stood up and ran away from him.

In a span of minutes, I'm already inside my unit. I heard my doorbell rang. I know it's him. He even knock on my door for how many times but I don't want to open it.

I sat on my sofa while holding my knees. My tears really can't stop now. When I heard my door clicks..

"How did you open my..."

Chaeyoung go in front of Mina and hug her so tightly. Then, he bend his knees on the floor.

"Chaeyoung please stand up." I lift him up but I can't. He's heavying his weight.

"No, I'll not move unless you hear my explanation. Just please hear me out first. Please." he begged as he still crying.

Mina finally nodded and let Chaeyoung explained his side.

"I thought you just left me without breaking up with me. Even our friends don't know where you at. I can't also call your parents. I traveled to look for you if there's some tips I've receive where you at but I'm always failed. That's the time I chose to stop my career and just look for you. It's my own decision Mina, because I love you. And it's not your fault why I'm having this kind of life. I chose this Mina." he narrated.

"I just knew lately from Momo and Jeongyeon that you are here. At first, I didn't believe them. Because I look everywhere but there's no trace of you at all. Momo said that your parents keep you away from me. I can't do anything more. Even your parents threatened Momo to keep secrets from you." He said.

I'm too shock. Momo was being threatened by my parents? Is this even real?

"That's when we planned to continue keep the secrets from you. Because I want Momo to be safe. And also, I don't want you to take things in rush. I have my ways to say it to you personally, I just don't have the courage yet. Because if I tell you earlier, I'm scared that you'll not able to trust me. I'm so scared that you might avoid me.  And that's the worst scenario." he said as I saw his shoulders struggling.

"Stand up please." I said.

"Chaeyoung please." He stood up and hug me again.

I break the hug and kiss him. I kiss him with all my heart. He returned the kisses that I'm giving him as he deepened it. This is the kiss that I've been longing for. The kiss from the one and only I love.
