He is Human (EN- SunKi)

Riki

The day of the anniversary went by so fast and tiring. I exit my office and drove back to my house. Yes, I have my own house because well, if ever noona will marry, then she will live and raise her own family in the house and so am I.

The problem is, I don't have any idea why I am still of zero love life. I don't know why I don't feel any attraction to anyone in years.

I laid on my bed and grabbed the photo album noona gave me when I woke up from a coma. Flipping over the photos, I can't help but recall the stranger whom noona introduced me today. Is he perhaps the one in these photos or someone who looks just like him?

In the photos, I look so happy and I look so in love by the way my eyes are gazing into his. When I lock eyes with him this morning, I felt something stir inside me like something is waiting to burst but can't and till now, I don't know what it is.

He said he was the Sunoo, my body guard/ my trainer/ my boyfriend. I can believe he could be my boyfriend before I was in a coma but I find it hard to believe he's the one who taught me to fight. Everyone is saying it, from noona to my parents to Jay hyung, everyone is saying that it is the same person.

He just looks so fragile and too soft to even hurt a fly, so how can I believe that he wielded guns? That he hurts people?

They say don't judge a book by its cover. I'm trying not to do it with him but I can't help it. His frame looks like someone I want to wrap in my arms and protect at all cost. His voice is so soothing. If he's really my teacher, I wonder how he managed to talk to me.

And I can remember how I'm such a jerk back then to everyone. Sunoo is the one who somehow managed to tame me. Now that, I don't know how.

Now my question is, why did he show up just now?

I really should give it a try. Maybe the missing part of me will finally be completed and my questions will finally be answered.

The next morning, I woke up to someone ringing the doorbell.

When I opened the gates, I saw Sunoo smiling as he waved at me. Gosh he looks so pretty.

"Noona said that if I will do something you're familiar with or something we always do before, you could regain your lost memory of . . of me .  . so now, I'm starting"

I can't help but smile at how enthusiastic he is. His eyes looked so determined that even I want to find out.

"Alright . . so where shall we start?"

"Change up . . . you can't go jogging in pajamas"

I invited him inside the house as I went upstairs to change and I did it as quick as possible before slowly going downstairs and I found him looking around the house with awe.

"You like the house?"

He turned to me before unzipping his bag and he handed me a tumbler with my name on it.

"I love your house . . . "

"I saw the design in my room and I liked it. . noona said I drew it"

"You did . . . I saw it as I'm beside you when you drew it. . now, before you became that amazing in fighting, you started off as a stubborn kid who I always bug every morning to jog with me ..  Now come on, before the sun rises"

We jogged to a park with me following him and we entered a ramen shop.

"This is still the same after all these years. Jake hyung and Sunghoon hyung are not here today but I hope the ramen would give you something. . "
