Apple of my eye

"i'm the one who called them, Sana" Chanyeol said.

Chanyeol was in Jihyo's room, looking through the photos.

"you know you didnt have to do that, right?" Chanyeol was talking to himself as he looked at the photos of his sister. 

Chanyeol sighed as he laid back on his sister's bed with the photos in his hands, close to his heart.

"what is this place?"

Chanyeol's eyes went wide open as he heard the unfamiliar voice.

Not long after,

"the Park Family's home"

"Sana?" Chanyeol whispered to himself. He slowly went out to be really finding Sana and with someone.

"she remembered?" Chanyeol thought to himself.

Chanyeol immediately went running to his room as he saw Sana coming up the stairs.

He watched from his room as Sana went into Jihyo's room. Not long after, he heard a scream from Sana.

"this isn't good" he thought to himself as he dialed the girl's number.

"tell me what's going on, please? Where is she? Jihyo?" Sana said with trembling hands.

All looked over at Chanyeol meanwhile Chan looks so confuse.

"she won't be coming back to us, to you anytime soon, Sana.." Chanyeol said in his weak tone.

"what are you saying?" 

"she's gone, Sana" 

Sana felts all her hopes just went crumbling down. Was she hearing this right?

"no..no..this isn't real! She's out there! Stopy lying to me! Stop!" Sana was covering her ears as she shouted out those words. 

"Sana, please! She's dead! Park Jihyo is dead!" Mina said as she held a grip on Sana's shoulders. Sana then fell onto her knees with Mina still holding her. 

"h-how?" Sana said in her shaking voice. 

"you don't remember?" Mina said and Sana shack her head.

"just as we expected it to be" Chanyeol said under his breath. 

"what?" Sana looked up to him. 

"you were right. Your dream was reality. A memory dream. What was the last thing you remember?" Chanyeol asked, still standing at the door.

"sh-she didnt remember me..." Sana looked down. 

"and you got into accident right?" 

Sana looked back up to him in tears. Sana wanted to say something but she couldn't open up her mouth.

"after your accident, for some bad luck reason, her memory returned. We don't know how nor does she. When it happened, just as you would do the same, she waited for you to awake and when you did, sadly, you forgot about her just like she did before but you hated her..."

"what... no.."

"your memory that only regained so far was the part where you thought Jihyo betrayed you. She waited because she knew that you will be able to remember her but she wasn't strong enough to hold on and it happened" Chanyeol clenched his fists. Even this, hurted him.

"i guess somehow your memory slowly start to regain fully and then by that time, it was too late.." Nayeon said. 

"i dont get it. When i woke up, that didnt happen. I didnt wake up... i didnt hate her again.." Sana furrowed here eyebrows as she tried to breath. Mina was still holding onto Sana. 

"the drug" Chanyeol said. 

"what?" the girls look at him.

"remember the drug that your father implanted in you? Apparently, it kind of numbed your brain so even if you were awake, your brain wouldn't process what happen"

"it's capable of doing that?!" Jeongyeon looked at him in shock. 

"apparently so" Chanyeol said. 

"it's all my fault.." Sana said, "i want her back!"

"like it or not, Sana. You two were a losing game anyway"

Everyone especially Chan looked at Chanyeol in anger. 

"you two really loved each other but it doesn't work out. Trust me, even if she was alive till now, maybe it would be better but the drug is still in you. You can change anytime. You could do something bad and still not remember. You may even not remember this moment. Just face the facts, Sana. It's time to move on. You two weren't destined for each other" Chanyeol just said it out straightforward. 

"Chanyeol!" Chaeyoung shouted at him. 

Chanyeol didn't stop there, "life is not a fairytale. This is reality, Sana. She's gone and never coming back. That's always someone else-"

"no one could ever make me happy! no one could ever did what Jihyo did for me!" 

"you're right. Jihyo will always be in your heart but no matter what, you will fall in love with someone else and whenever you think about Jihyo, you would always thank her for making you happy. That's the reality" Chanyeol said that and walked out the door. 

They all got into a group hug, trying to comfort Sana.

Meanwhile, as Chanyeol walked out the door, he went to the left and crawled up the tree to meet someone.

"you sure about your plan, Jihyo?" Jihyo watches as they comfort Sana.

Jihyo nods her head, "it's for the best"

"you know, you could go up to her and start all over again" Chanyeol wanted to make sure that his sister isn't making a decision that she will regret.

"i dont know if i can do this anymore. Maybe we just met at the wrong time. I dont know but i know that i love her too much to even hurt her again"

"it is your life, Jihyo. You make your own story. If you're ready, we gotta go to our helicopter"

"i'm gonna miss them" Jihyo said. She looked over one last time before moving along with her brother.

However, their little movements was caught by Chan. While the girls were still busy hugging, Chan went out to check it out. Unfortunately for them, Chan was athletic so he was able to catch up with them.

Chan titled his head as he watch Chanyeol and Jihyo going into the helicopter and flying off.

"wait, why didn't i stop her?" Chan asked himself as he watched the helicopter take flight.

Chan then went back to the girls.

"where did you go?" Momo asked as she noticed Chan coming down from a tree.

"somewhere" Chan replied back. After listening to both Sana and Jihyo's story, Chan knew he shouldn't barge in.

"Life is like a video game. We all need to move a level at a time." Chan remembered those words said to him by someone close to him.
