EPISODE 5

(LOCATION: SEOUL - TIME: 5:00PM - DATE: OCTOBER 16TH)

After a few days Chan decided to go to the shop after all, and you promised you'd be back to production. You missed so many days trying to care for Chan. Wanting to make sure he healed enough to leave him alone for a few hours while you worked.

It was an awkward morning. Chan ate his breakfast while you finished gathering your things. Making sure you didn't forget anything. You both never spoke about what he did in his sleep the first night he was back. You caught him doing it again every night after. But said nothing, just enjoyed it.

Since he didn't make any effort to say anything, you were quick to shove spoons full of oats into your mouth. You were running so late at this point.

"I better go. It's so late. I'll see you when I get back. If you need anything, I'm a call away. I'm not afraid to drop everything and leave. You are more important. My number one priority." He nodded, shoving another spoonful of lucky charms in his mouth. You ruffled his hair lovingly, holding back the urge to give him a goodbye kiss like you always did. He smiled up at you. His cheeks were stuffed with sweet cereal. You wiped away a bit of milk residual on the corner of his lips.

The bustling streets were hard to push through but made it to set in less than fifteen.

"You think I'm stupid or something? I can't believe you can't see how much Jihoon wants to be with you, and you just keep pushing him away." Ryujin pushed you and you fell on the pavement.

"Aniyo! Ha-Joon, stop!" Hyunjin yelled while you stayed on the ground. Tears fled your eyes.

Hyunjin grabbed hold of Ryujin who was putting up a fight. WonBin, the second love interest of your character, came in and helped you up.

"Are you okay?" Wonbin asked you and you only stared into his eyes. Those eyes your character loved so much. He pulled you away from the mess. Taking you somewhere more quiet and safe. The director called cut and Jin-goo gave you space. He kept it strictly professional off-screen, he knew about your relationship with Bang Chan and didn't want to overstep boundaries nor did he want to give Chan any reason to be jealous.

"Good work out there" Jingoo smiled and gave you a thumbs up. You couldn't help but laugh because you felt the total opposite.

"How's Chan doing?" you faked a smile not wanting to worry people. Though your absence was telling enough.

"He's doing good, Chan's a fighter so his recovery is going quickly." Truth be told, he physically recovered rapidly. It was his head that concerned you. He should have remembered by now.

"That's good! I'm happy he's doing better." Jingoo smiled genuinely.

You both shot some more scenes before it was time to go home.

You grabbed your bag and headed out from your trailer. Hyunjin stopped you on your way out with a big smile.

"Want to grab dinner with me tonight?" he offered and you slightly frowned, the only thing you felt like doing was getting home to Chan. Before you could answer you spot him waiting by the sidewalk in front of the set building. In the same spot he would park his motorcycle while waiting for you.

"Chan, what are you doing here? How did you get here?" Chan was fiddling with his hands before looking up at you.

"I walked," he bluntly said. He noticed the boy standing behind you and felt some anger build up. Chan was cautious about Hyunjin, in his heart he felt like the man,the one you called by his pet name jin, was up to no good.

Feeling intrusive, "I'll get going now." Hyungjin waved you goodbye and you waved back weakly.

You and Chan walked to the nearest bus stop and waited there for the bus. He held onto your hand for stability and you didn't mind it one bit. Loving how firm his grip was.

"So you didn't answer me when I asked how did you get there?" you ventured into some small talk to break the awful awkward silence.

"Yes I did, I told you I walked." he chuckled and you shoved him playfully.

"I'm being serious Chan" you laughed and Chan caught a glimpse of your smile. He felt a flutter in his heart hearing you laugh and seeing how big your eyes were. He felt so much for you. But he could only feel his memories, yet they remained lost.

"I left the shop and didn't know where else to go so I just let my feet wander and they ended up there." on the way back home he finally told you how he ended up at your job.

"How was it? Visiting the shop." You asked, the trip back home would be awhile and the awkward silence wouldn't cut it.

"It was good I guess. I saw my design. It was fucking dope. I can't believe I designed it. But...I'm not sure I'll want to drive a bike ever again." He dipped his head and you immediately pressed your hand over his.

"Hey, don't think about that now. It will take time to get back in the water but the chan I love is strong and will get through anything." You tried to comfort him but only pushed him further in despair.

"The Chan you love might be gone. I might not be him anymore. What if I've changed. I've become weaker. What if-" you cut him off by smashing your lips on his. You did the only thing you could to get him to stop talking. It stung to hear him say those words but you'd love him anyway. No matter if he's changed a little.

"Chan, I don't think you have. I don't think you've changed. I don't need proof to know you're still the chan I want to be with. When I'm around you yeah you might seem a bit aloof but as soon as we touch. Baby I know it's you." You pull his chin allowing you to see his eyes. The warmth he gives by just how he looks at you. There is no doubt in your mind that he isn't your man.

"Kiss me again" he breathes out, as he stares at the pair of sofl puffy pillows calling his name. To which you granted him. Connecting your lips once again. You wrap your arms around his neck pulling him closer as he kisses back.

"I've missed this." You say in between kisses. You completely forget you're still on the bus, as he tries pulling you even closer by the waist. Yet nobody seems to care, only two other people sitting towards the front.

You both had to stop for air and doing so you saw the proximity of your stop. You gather your things, you both stand ready to jump off. You both speed walk back to the apartment. Ready to jump each other's bones. Yet getting to the door, you find a bouquet of roses. You eyed them down confused before picking them up. You read the card aloud.

"I haven't stopped thinking of you. Just know I'd never forget you.-H.H" Chan almost ripped the note from your hands but stopped himself. You just stood there in complete shock.

"H as in Hyungjin? Your co-star?" Chan tried to act surprised. He had a gut feeling Hyunjin was after what belonged to him. Even with his memory loss he could still see it as clear as day.

"Yeah I guess so." You hurriedly unlocked the front door. Setting the vase on the counter.

"Did you know?" He asked but you stayed quiet, your thoughts running wild.

"Huh? No no I didn't. I really....wasn't expecting this." You spoke mostly to yourself. You weren't even sure what to do. Throw the flowers away? Tell Hyunjin he needs to back off? He was your coworker, things were about to get even more complicated.
