Taehyung blinks awake with a jerk. He looks around, breathing heavily. Why does he feel strange to wake up in his own bed, alone?
Was it all a dream? Did Eunbee never return to Korea? It can't be a dream. It was too real to be a dream.
He gets out of bed and Yeontan is still sleeping. He rubs his eyes when he spots a necklace dangling off the edge of his dresser's. It's not a dream. That is Eunbee's.
Everything comes back to him. The red string of fate, the briefcase and their plan.
He didn't forget her.
But did she forget him?
When he walks down the stairs of the dorm, the living room is empty. He can hear snores echoing faintly and he knows they are all sound asleep. Where can Eunbee be?
Back at her home?
He immediately washes up and gets ready to go out. He has this conflicted reasoning revolving in his mind that if she doesn't recall anything then he is happy that the one remembering their memories is him.
Selfishly, he wants to be the one to remember her. Selfishly, he doesn't want her to go through the pain of any guilt or yearning.
It is when he fetches himself a mask and hat is when he sees a pair of keys hanging off the hook. Her house keys are here then where is she?
He tries calling her but no answer.
He doesn't know what to do or where to look for her. He walks to the bus stop, the calm breeze seems to give his thoughts a rest. Everything will be alright, he will start from square one if he has to. He's fated to love her and he will do that.
He aimlessly sits on the first bus that arrives.
It seems like the world is indeed taking rest after days of work.
The familiar buildings and hoardings wash a sense of relief over him— no one realises that they would miss the smallest things until they are taken away from them. He gets off on a random stop, his thoughts swirling around everything that has happened from the day Eunbee came back.
Did he even expect his world would turn upside down that day? It's not until a text comes up on his phone— Comeback meeting tomorrow at 3— does he realise that he was scared.
Scared of not being able to go back on the stage again, scared to not be part of the group and scared to lose himself all along. He walks till he reaches another stop at the roundabout and spots a familiar bus.
Unmyeong museum.
That's the three museums exploration bus. He gets on it, without thinking much and the bus is empty. He slips a few coins in the box and takes up the farthest seat. He tries calling Eunbee once more, but to no avail. She does not pick up.
