The boy I must forget

Him

I tried my best to look at Mina more than Oliver, if I turned slightly to glance at my coworker, I would see Heeseung looking at me. I couldn't genuinely smile after who I just saw and I tried to make my fake smile look real. Mina was laughing with Oliver, joking about someone they knew in school. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and winked at my roommate when leaving the table. When i finished using the washroom, someone was waiting for me on the other side of the door. I froze and stared at the man in front of me.

"It's been a long time Y/n." Heeseung told me, he looked sad. I nodded and tried to walk passed him but he held my arm. "Why did you just stop talking to me?" He asked me. I sighed deeply before turning around with the best neutral face I could do. "It's been five years, get over it." I told him and moved my arm away from him. I turned my back at him and walked back to my table. I took my coat and bag from my chair and winked at Mina again while she looked at me confused. "I have to leave, have fun on your date!" I said with the biggest smile ever. My friend panicked and tried to grab me but I had already started to walk away, waving her goodbye.

I laughed while walking, not caring that some tears had fallen from my eyes. I was too much in my head that I didn't see Heeseung follow me outside the restaurant. He turned me around and hugged me, tightly. "I'm so sorry if I did anything wrong before, please forgive me." He said to me. I felt something wet on my shoulder where his face was on. "Are you crying?" I asked him. Heeseung nodded and walked backwards, distancing himself from me. He was standing in front of me with tears falling from his eyes, they were all red. "You didn't do anything wrong, I just had to forget you, I'm so sorry." I told him and turned around to walk away from him.

He ran to catch up to me and walked beside me in silence. We didn't talk until we were in front of my building. "Why?" That was the only thing that he said. I turned to look at him in eyes, scared. "I had to, you forgot me first." I told him and walked inside my building. He didn't follow me and I made my way to my apartment. I changed my clothes and jumped in my bed. I stared at my ceiling, tears rolling down my face and landing on my soft blanket. I turned to my side and let sleep take over me.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." My boy told me.

"Can I stay with you forever?" He continued.

"Please do." I answered him.

He held me in my arms, scared that I would go away from him. We stayed in this position until he moved from me and looked at my in my eyes.

"How can I ever forget you? You are too cute and too precious." He told me.

I blushed from his words and smiled at him. He was the cutest thing I had ever seen and I didn't know why I wanted to forget him. As I was admiring him, his whole face began to fade and so did his body. I tried to catch him but I just couldn't, he was disappearing. I began to cry and scream his name while trying my best to catch him. When he was completely gone, I fell on the ground and let my tears land on the floor. I looked at the floor, my love was gone and he was starting to fade from my memory. I couldn't forget him, but now it looked like I was starting to.

I woke up from my dream and sweat was dripping down my face. I wiped my face with my blanket and jumped off my bed. I took my clothes and my blanket and threw them in the washing machine. I changed into some other clothes and pulled out my phone from my pocket. I watched my phone for a little bit and jumped into my bed again. I didn't know what to do and got a call. I didn't know the number, but I was bored so I answered.

"Hello?" I said. "Y/n, why would I ever forget you?" The person asked. I sat on my bed, confused. "What?" I asked. "I never forgot you Y/n! I loved you since we met, I never stopped!" The person screamed in my ear. "Heeseung? Is that you?" I asked. He didn't answer and hung up. I jumped from my bed and ran out of my apartment. I ran out of my building and ran until I was in front of a little river. There he was, looking at the water dancing. I ran to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned around and our eyes locked. His beautiful brown eyes were red and some dried tears were stuck on the side of his eyes.

"Heeseung..." I said, looking at him with sadness. He stared at me until I walked closer to him and hugged him. "Are you crying because of me?" I asked him with my arms around his body. "I never forgot you, how could I?" He told me. I stared at him while he did the same. Did he remember me from his childhood? That would be the best thing ever. "When is your first memory of me?" I asked him, to make sure. "We were five years old and you didn't know how to tie your shoelaces, I tied them for you and you followed me everywhere after that." He told me. I couldn't resist and tears began to fall from my eyes. I hugged him tightly and told him how much he means to me.

"I never wanted to leave you, my parents forced me. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I didn't get to tell you how much I loved you, I didn't want to leave your like this." I told him. I left his body tense in my arms and then, he relaxed. "You loved me when we were younger?" He asked me, pulling me away from him and putting his hands on my shoulders. I nodded and he smiled, but he still had a frown on his face. "You loved me?" He asked. I looked at him weirdly, I didn't understand why he asked again. It took me some time to understand what he had asked. He was still looking into my eyes, it felt like he was staring right into my soul. "I love you." I told him.
