Make Me Remember (Mijo X Dae-sik)

Chapter 2

"Eomma, you know you don't need to come with me." Dae-sik tells his eomma as she boarded his car.

"Why do you always refuse I come with you?" His mother argued, "I'm your mother, don't I have the right to know how my son is doing after an accident that almost cost his life?"

"Eomma, I'm going somewhere after this, so just know that if you come, I won't be able to drop you off back home." He warned.

"Son I can always call one of our drivers to pick me up."

"I really did get my stubbornness from you, mother. I can tell."

"Hyun Dae-sik, your memory is yet to return but you want them gone again?"

"No, no. Alright you can what can I even do." He sighs in defeat.

-

"Considering how bad your accident was and how you were in comatose for a year, your body is quickly recovering the past 3 years." Dae-sik's Doctor declared.

"What about my memories Doc? Will they return?" Dae-sik asks worried. While his mom, nervous.

"Mr. Hyun, we cannot force those memories to return. Only time can tell when your memories return. Spending time with people can also help you remember." His Doctor straight up answered.

"So there may be a chance he won't remember someone he used to know?" His mother asked, her voice having a pinch of happiness in tone.

"Eomma, why do you sound like your happy with that?" Dae-sik asked, annoyed.

"I'm sorry."

"Anyway, I'll see you next month, Mr. Hyun." The Doctor excused himself. 

-

"Eomma, have you called the driver?" Dae-sik questions.

"I've changed my mind son. I'm coming with you."

"Oh gosh." He facepalms himself in defeat, "Eomma, I thought we made it clear. You'll come with me at the check-up and your driver will pick you up."

"Why can't I come Hyun Dae-sik. Tell me." His mother sternly asked.

"I have a long day at the office, mother. Please just let me be."

"Why? What is wrong son?"

"You know what eomma, just get in the car." Proceeding to facepalm himself once more.

-

"Dae-sik?" Mijo exclaimed at the man.

"How do you know my name Miss?" Clueless Dae-sik asked. "Pardon me, I sometimes forget I'm part of a big business."

"No, no. It's alright sir, I should apologize." Mijo replies as she bows politely.

He chuckles at her antics

"It's alright, Hyun Dae-sik." He offers his hand out for a shake.

"What in the world Hyun Dae-sik?" Mijo thought to herself.

"Cha Mijo." She replies accepting the handshake.

"So? Can I?"

"What?" Mijo questions, clearly confused.

"Can I sit beside you?"

"Oh, sure." She awkwardly replies.

Maybe this was something Mijo never imagined happening. Her and Dae-sik sitting beside one another, him clueless of their past.

Minutes pass by, the two of them sunken into their own thoughts. Staring blankly into the sea.

"You know? Sometimes I wonder why this beach has a special place in my heart." Dae-sik says out of the blue, still looking far in the distance.
