"Yah Mingyu!""Kim Mingyu, wake up!!"
"Mingyu if they cancelled the meeting because of you, I swear to God!"
"KIM MINGYU WAKE UP!" Kim Mingyu...
I woke up from Hoshi hyung, Dokyeom, and Seungkwan's voice. W-what are they doing here? They're supposed to be at doctor c—
"Shine and rise the fu—"
"Boo Seungkwan, language!" Kyeom shuts Seungkwan off.
"Come on Mingyu. You don't wanna miss the re-signing moment, don't you?" the what? What is he talking about??
"Re-signing?" the three of them stared at me in confusion.
"Contract renewal, what else? Are you ok—did you bump your head or something? Wake up." I must be really dreaming... Or was it really successful? How come Dr. Co never told me-
"Kim Mingyu to earth?" Hoshi hyung snapped me out from my thoughts. "Come on Mr. V.I.P they're waiting for us."
*in call*
"Hello Mingyu? How's the contract re—"
"When did the operation succeed? Why did you release them without MY CONSENT!?"
"Mingyu. Why don't you pay a visit to my clinic later. You've been forgetting a lot of things lately."
"What do you mean?"
"Just do what I said! Act normal around your members. Don't let them notice you're different."
*beep beep*
"We finally did it huh. Everyone re-signed." I smiled upon what Wonwoo hyung said.
"After all we went through together, I can't describe how happy I am."
"Yeah... it's all thanks to you, Mingyu." I was in shock when he suddenly circled his arms around me. I'm so shock I can't even say a thing.
"Y-you worked really hard, Mingyu. You can finally rest. We're living together but why did I suddenly miss you.. haha" he tried faking an awkward laugh.
The moment he faked an awkward laugh I knew it then he's already crying. He does miss me, as a clone? Was the memory transplant that successful? Somehow something in me feels unfamiliar with this.
I can't even manage to find a single word to say. The last time I interacted with my members was... that day– I've been trying to forget about that day. It worked so well that I can't remember a lot of things I guess. I really need to talk to Dr. Co.
It's already 11:45 pm and I'm making my way to Dr. Co's office. He hasn't change —he's still obsessed with his work— that he dont bother going home. To be fair he has no home, no one to be exact. Without a knock I opened the door to his office and took a sit for myself.
"A little unmannered aren't we? Barging in without a knock. Say it, what was the door for?" he's not annoyed or what. He just wants to make the conversation longer.
"Cut the crap, why didn't you tell me that it was a success? Are you sure that there are no flaws in their memory?" he suddenly placed a folder in front of me.
A folder with no label in it. It holds the report paper of the experiment. Written on the report paper; the experiment was conclude successful at Dec. **, 20** under the guidance of Doctor Min-gi Co and his team. It has my signature and fingerprint on it.
I-I dont remember any of this. This can't be real.. I no what—
"I told you, Mingyu. You should take a rest, you've been having a lot of memory loss and that is not good." I can't believe the concern I'm seeing in his eyes.
"Pft– well what do I have now, dimentia?" I tried suppressing my laughs.
"For now I can't tell, if this continues we'll know. Look, Kim Mingyu, the plan is already a success. There's no reason for you to stress yourself out."
"I'm fine." I can't stand this so called 'concern' he's faking. I'm so sick of it.
"You literally can't remember the day we declared that the experiment was a success!!! Come on Mingyu!! They are the clones NOT YOU!" I kept my mouth shut. I just don't know.. where did my memories go??
"Or maybe you're suffering from too much guilt? Guilt of your own selfishness?? You wanted this right?"
"SHUT THE F*CK UP! I am not selfish —I did what has to be done— for everyone's sake. I'm not like you, Dad." I stood up to leave this room that is filled with stained memories.
"Stop wishing that I will ever be." I went out of his office and never looked back. Why am I forgetting about the memories I shouldn't. It was the ugly memories that should be erased.
