𝗜 𝗪𝗶𝘀𝗵☆彡 - Taegyu✔️

☆26

The flood of scarlet leaves was replaced by a desert of earth. Deciduous trees had shed the last bit of viability to the ground, stepping down to the mother nature, the sound of strong and sharp gales announced the begin of another season.

Winter butted in like a mugger, Taehyun didn't take much time to appreciate the autumn vibe. He had been staying with his parents for the previous month before returning to college and dormitory.

Frustrated by his uncooperative brain, he could only recall things before September. He got a blank memory bank for two whole months. He also worried about Beomgyu a lot. The older was avoiding him, not replying to his messages, never appeared at college or group meetings. He knocked at his room a few times but no one answered.

Besides the older, he was trying to solve another puzzle on his mind- who was that girl in red dress? She appeared in his dream every night, so compelling that he couldn't forget about her.

He must track over what happened to him before the assault. Unfortunately, dialogues and media data in his old phone were all lost.

(A/N: Assume Taehyun and Beomie kept it low for their relationships so they didn't upload anything to social media.)

Taehyun was at his dorm, tidying up his room which was quite dusty due to the omission of its owner. He was going to check on his new phone after the cleaning when someone knocked on his door.

It was the dorm manager. Leaving him a delivered parcel when Taehyun wasn't staying at the dorm.

Taehyun examined the box, interpreting from the packaging, aware that it was a pair of fancy sport cleats. Immediately he thought of Beomgyu, or who else would be in need of them except this football mania?

Back to his phone, he went through the emails and spotted a suspicious order.

Taehyun ran his fingers through his hair.

The limited cleats seemed reasonable...

But a bouquet of roses with teddy bear delivered on Christmas eve?

He scrolled to the search engine and typed in '9 roses'-

'9 Roses – a symbol of eternal love. You would often give this exact number of roses to those you wish to spend the rest of life with.'

His intuition told him it had something to do with the girl in red dress. Gosh who was he supposed to hand in those gifts? Maybe he should ask the people around him.

Before class, Taehyun dropped by the music club to thank the golden couple as they visited him  several times when he was hospitalized.

The couple smiled in relief when they saw the boy. Jungkook hugged the boy followed by Taehyung.

'Taehyun-ah, good to see you again. I don't want to pressure on you so it's totally fine to reject this... Every year, our club organizes a performance on Christmas eve, many students were looking forward to seeing you on stage, would you like to perform a song for us?' Jungkook laid a hand on Taehyun's shoulder.

'Sure, no problem, I have taken enough rest already.' Taehyun smiled brightly, singing was his passion and he was more than happy that his favorite senior trusted him.

'Make sure to invite your girlfriend as well, she must have been worried about you. We don't mind you sing her a love song on stage.' Jungkook sent him a wink.

'Girlfriend?' Taehyun doubted. Was he dating someone during those months that he hardly remembered?

'Yeh your girlfriend. Did Beomgyu grumble on you after we exposed you and his sister?' Taehyung asked him cheekily.

What? Who the hell is his sister?

'Sorry, I-I really don't know what you are talking about... Do I have a girlfriend? Where's she?' Taehyun tried his best to digest the profound information. Hands trembling, breath hitching, terrified by the fact that someone important to him was wandering out there, all alone, simply because Taehyun had forgotten about them. But why didn't that person come to him? Were they disappointed by him and chose to leave?

'Ohh-I forgot you are suffering from memory loss. Even so, how could you forget about her?' Taehyung frowned at his response, not like he had a choice.

'Sorry, we barely know about her and none of us has her contact. Maybe you should ask your other friends.' Jungkook patted his shoulder reassured him.

Taehyun got a thousand thoughts on his mind and at last he drew a little conclusion-

Must be it—his girlfriend must be the girl in red dress. She was someone related to Beomgyu and those roses were bought for her-
