Do You Remember? | EXO Baekhyun and Kai

T W E L V E

I never got the chance to open the letter until now.

My parents and the nurse had came in to do another check up on me saying I would only need to stay for 4 more days since I was healthy.

My brother was here now, again, not letting me open the letter in peace.

"Hey Noona have you opened it yet?" My brother asked annoyingly.

I gave him my annoyed face and said," no."

"Why haven't you?"

"Because of you." I said irritatingly.

"Oh." He said. I then gave him my get-lost face. "Well fine, hurry up and read it." He said before closing my hospital door.

I got out the letter from under my pillow that I hid when the nurses came in and started to hesitantly open it.

I first opened the flap that would lead me to the inside of the envelope.

I looked inside to see a letter and a ring.

I had expected something a lot more. I don't know a heartfelt or heartwarming letter. A heartbreaking letter or at least more than 10 words.

No the letter only had 10 words:

Come and find it, our forever.
I'll wait for you.

At first, I didn't really understand it.

How do I find forever?

Where was I suppose to go?

But then I realized how stupid I must've been not to realize what all of it meant.

The ring wasn't just any ring.

It was the promise ring we bought each other when we were still high school students.

The ring was a symbolism for us meaning forever. It wasn't one of those expensive ones (but it was still expensive especially since we went broke afterwards) that you would buy for weddings, it was only until then.

He kept his ring on the day we got crashed. I didn't bring mines since I knew what was to come. Mine was still at home.

Is he asking me to go and find him?

To give back his ring, so our forever would be two sided again?

Even though this ring wasn't mines, I putted it on, knowing Baekhyun had worn it so I wouldn't have to miss him that much.

I'll wait for you.

I felt happy to know that he knew my heart even though I was a coward and didn't man up.

. . .

Two days.

It's been two days since I've read the letter and it will be two more until I get to leave.

I was tempted to just leave at one point since I was perfectly healthy and was not feeling one percent sick but I was sure sick of hospital food and the same clothes over and over again.

I just really wanted to go see Baekhyun.

I was going to text him or call him on my phone but it wouldn't be as dramatic as going to see him after a year of cowardliness and not manning up.

I was a bit thankful too oddly for these four days.

Why?

Because I could rehearse whatever I wanted to say to him and do with him.

I thought and thought over what I was going to say to him again and again.

What was I going to say when I first see him again?

What was I going to do when I see him?

Will I just show up at his apartment?

Or would I call him to meet me?

I was preparing myself.

And now I was ready.

Four days.

The drive home was refreshing.

It's been so long since I got into a car but of course they didn't let me drive. One because I just got out of the hospital and that my license expired, sadly. I had to go and renew my license someday.

I didn't go and see Baekhyun immediately when I had got home. I actually waited another a few days to go see him so I could readjust.

I had to apply for colleges again since I was just going out of high school and I also missed my graduation because of the accident.

Baekhyun said we'll go to the same college hopefully that was going to come true.

When I did decide to see him again. I was going to work out everything.

I didn't get time to renew my license yet but I was just dying to see Baekhyun again.

"Yah! Noona where are you going?" My brother yelled for me as I was about to just go outside.

"Umm..." Should I lie? Because I'm pretty sure he would ask to tag along. "I'm going somewhere." I said vaguely.

"Where?" He asked.

"Um to go see someone." I said.

"Who?" He asked. Couldn't he just drop it? Like honestly? Why is he so curious?

"Just someone." I said vaguely.

"It's Baekhyun isn't it?" He said smiling.

"Um... well yeah." I said.

"Can I come to-"

"No."

"Aw how come?" He asked.

"Just... no." I said.

"Please?" He whined.

"No."

"Pretty please." Okay now he was doing aegyo. Eww stopp but it's pretty cute to be honest.

"Nooo~" I repeated and shut the door on him to leave.

I had no other choice but to waste the little money that I had from my part time jobs to babysitting my little brother. Yes, my parents payed me for that. I had no other choice but to spend it on a bus since I had an expired license.

I hadn't called him about me coming. I wanted it to be a surprise and well, because I didn't have the guts. I'm scared.

I just hope he was going to be home when I come. Hopefully he didn't move away during those days he was out of the hospital while I still was.

The bus ride to his house made me nervous. I rehearsed whatever I was going to say and hopefully I wouldn't forget my little speech when talking.

I wish I was driving at least I could take things off my mind and be occupied.

I want my driver's license! I thought.

Then the bus stopped.

This was his stop.

I gulped down my saliva and bit down on my lips.

You can do this Minyoung.

Fighting.
