Rex the Period and Silence

#15.2 When The Socks is Left Behind

Due to working needs, Jay couldn't stay in that remote house longer than A and Rex. He could only stay there for 10 days, it was more than enough. Except being so cold by the cover and different from his sister, Jay and A had the same mission. The outcome might turn out like they were using Rex as a guinea pig, but they needed to prevent Rex became her old self. Nobody wished their family or friend closed their mouth no matter what happened, so, either Jay and his sister. 

Every time Rex came to their house and had a time with A, Jay secretly observed what his sister and Rex were doing and how they were communicating with each other. Jay just couldn't grasp what was the perfect way to make Rex start talking and stop faking her smile. Even when Rex spoke nothing after the long-awaited conversation, A was always bragging to her brother said that Rex'd started to open up her heart. In fact, Jay was always trying to eavesdrop on what they were talking yet he heard nothing. 

One time, A left her room's door opened, Jay could see both of them were writing on the paper, after they'd done writing, they exchanged the paper and A looked startled. A's expression grew the big curiousness in Jay the mischievous. While A escorted Rex to the front gate, Jay the one who had been observing since the first time session was started dashed into A's room and took the paper where Rex's answer was written. 

Q : What is your biggest wish. (You can write down something unreal too!)

A : I wish I can wake up without knowing who I am. 

That short questioner gave Jay a deep meaning and helped him to dive deeper into Rex. In that short sentence, Jay retrieved a big clue. Maybe it was one of the reasons why they didn't give up to disclose Rex's true self. Rex's father kept telling them that Rex was really easy to be approached when Jay and A found the vice versa, that was not true. In his mind, Rex's father was fabricating his own daughter. As the reality didn't match with her father's statement. Now, the accident had occurred to her so did the miracle. Not only able to live a second life, but she also had become a different person who was easy to be approached. 

The ground Jay was standing on was the one her father had always been on. Rex's life had been dragged to the zero points where she knew nothing but comfortable life. She didn't know the problems were waiting for her, she sat on the cozy sofa and her feet were hanged up above from the gravel. Jay didn't want to take everything slowly because he had to leave Rex's side in a few days. He wanted to prove himself that his conclusion was hit the bull's-eye and witnessed Rex's remembered her old self after she met the same problem she had ever faced. 

Jay invited A's friends and Rex's friend to their wood house. They organized a small party where everyone could spend their time relaxedly. A was very supportive of Jay's idea. It would help Rex to socialize with people and recollect her memory. Little did she knew it was Jay's master key and it was more than just socialized with people and helped her to regain the memories, but Rex would back to herself, in a split second. 

Jay knew the thing A hate the most was Rex came back to her old self so all she did was preventing her to meet any kind of hard situation that would bring her back into reality, in contrast, Jay hated Rex being a coward the most, running away from herself and her problems. For Jay, running away was never been the best choice. The sun was nearly set and the bell rang. Jay opened the door and let A's friends meet his sister. He wished them all to have a great party and got out of the house. He was waiting for the special guest which was the Ace card of today's party. Thanks to his job, Jay could track anyone in a flash. Thanks to his brain and perseverance he could gather the evidence and brought Rex's memories back. Right behind the orange twilight, Yu-Lin appeared. "Good evening," greeted Jay. "Are you Rex's friend?" 

"Yes."

"I'll show you the way." He led her to the hill where Rex was capturing the great eventide's sky. "You can talk to her," Jay stopped 15 meters from Rex. "Ok, thanks," said Yu-Lin. Through the phone, Jay had explained everything to her, according to the data he had collected, he knew Yu-Lin was a smart girl, so he put everything in the hand of her palm. "Hey!" She screamed which made Rex taken back. "Are you happy that you are playing the victim now?" She said in English.

Three days before, Jay found out that Yu-Lin was Rex's one and only friend. He had no clear evidence which people around them testified about their relation, but following his instinct, he believed that everything began with the closest friend. Yesterday, Jay had told her through the wire that she could tell everything she wanted. No need to be subtle just did what she had always been done. "Don't you think you've gone too far? Don't you think you are overacting? How long you want to fool them?" Yu-Lin was still the one who talked and Jay was watching the scene secretly. "What kind of cheesy story is it? Someone falling from the building and loses memory and leads a happy life. Is that what you want? Or are you trying to blame everything on me?" Yu-Lin stabbed Rex non-stop. "Oops, did I guess it right?" 

Rex was trying to remember what was this familiar girl, talking about. She didn't get any pictures but the feeling of being stabbed a thousand times by the sharp question was so familiar to her. She was guessing what kind of relationship she had with this girl. "Do you think what you did is right? Do you think just because you jumped and tried to save her, you become the hero?" Yu-Lin laughed. "How clever you are! You are the victim and I am the killer," Yu-Lin showed up her smirk. "You know they all said that I am bullying you! Hey! Who do you think you are? I drove all the way here just to talk to you?" Yu-Lin's last sentence brought every sharp debris back to the place, Rex succeeded to perceive the picture. "Do you think forgetting means done? You should have died on the spot and gave us no more burden!" The whole conversation was carried in English, hence Jay could understand, and those words were the harshest word Jay ever heard.

"I'm sorry," Rex finally opened her mouth. She didn't know what to say. She knew that it was all her fault. "Did I ever insulted you?! Did I ever said you are dumb?! Did I ever hit you?! Did I ever done something wrong to you?!" Yu-Lin laughed speechlessly. "You were the one who creates those useless thoughts and now you are saying that I am the one who makes you this way?" Again she sneers. "We should never meet, right? I shouldn't take care of you, I shouldn't show up in front of you, I shouldn't help you, right?" Her laughter grew louder. "Just be whatever you want. You can be dumb and dumber as you wish and you can be the trash like you always said. Just be like that! I'll help you to pray every night and you will be the most useless human in the world. Are you satisfied? Why should I help a person like you? You'll interpret it as I am insulting you! How dumb I was. I hope you'll become the dumbest person in the world," Yu-Lin left right away. Rex knew it was all her fault and not the vice versa.
