A Smile That Hides Pain (Karina x Male Reader)

True Love's Kiss

"Um... Do I know you?"

Those words stuck or chord in everyone in the room. "You don't remember me?" Haerin asked with tears already forming in her eyes. "Should I?" He responded.

Haerin had to be practically ushered away by Hyein, Hanni and Minji as she had started to cry at his words. "That's not funny Y/n." Eunchae said. "Who's Y/n? Is that my name?" Y/n spoke. "Didn't the doctor say he'd have some mental side-effects?" Felix asked. "He didn't say that Amnesia was one of them." Hyunjin spoke. "Y/n, what's the last thing you remember?" Karina asked, hoping he'd say something about yesterday or the last week. "Waking up in there, talking to some people in white robes, and then stepped out of the room. That's it." Y/n said. Karina had to wipe the tears from her her eyes before they went down her face.

"Um, who are you people?" He asked. "We- We're your friends." Hyunjin said as he wiped his eyes hoping not to cry. "Um, what's my name?" He asked. At this point, it was clear that Y/n was an amazing actor or just really had amnesia. 

"Kang Y/n, that's your name. And that girl..." Hyunjin stopped and pointed to Haerin. "is your sister." Hyunjin said. "I have a sister? Why is she crying?" Y/n asked. "Um, why don't we go home?" Hyunjin said, trying to deflect Y/n's question. "Okay." Y/n said.

The ride home was the most tense and awkward thing. No one said a word, aside from Haerin asking if he really didn't remember her. And every time, he'd say he didn't.

As they got to the resort, Y/n got out of the limo. "We live here?" He asked with raised eyebrows. "For the time being, yeah." Hyunjin said, his voice breaking halfway through. "Cool!" Y/n exclaimed happily. Karina gave a half smile and almost started to cry again when she looked at him. He was so happy, but he didn't remember anything about his life.

As he walked into the house, his eyes widened at how big it was. He sat down on the couch and relaxed. He reached for his phone in his pocket, but when he turned it on, he saw a picture of himself, Jin and Jeon.

"Who're these guys?" He asked. "... *sniffle* They were like family to you. You don't remember them?" Karina said. "No. What happened to them?" He asked. He was such a curious child. A 1 year old boy in the body of a 17 year old teenager. "They, uh... um..." Karina stopped and tried to think of a way to change the subject. "You don't know?" Y/n suddenly spoke. "Why don't you watch something?" Karina said as she turned on the TV and handed him the remote.

"What're we gonna do?" She asked as she went to talk to everyone else. "I-I don't know. He's got the mind of the baby whose experiencing all of this for the first time, but in the body of a 17 year old." Bang Chan responded. "We could... hit him on the head, really hard." Ningning said. "We'd need something of equal force to cancel out the amnesia, and that's just if we assume it's temporary. Even if it's not permanent, I don't want to take the chance of shooting him in the head and hoping he's hard-headed enough to survive." Hyunjin said. "*sigh* I don't know what to do. There's gotta be something. After hundreds and thousands of years, there's gotta be at least one other person whose had amnesia. How did they fix it then?" Karina asked.

"Maybe with a true love's kiss?" Winter spoke.

"He doesn't love anyone though. Not in a romantic way, and the only person he could've loved in a romantic way isn't here." I.N. said.

*knock knock knock knock knock*

Hyunjin turned around to open the door and, sure enough, it was Yuqi. "Speak of the devil." He said coldly. "Where's Y/n? The doctors told me he was released." She said. "Why are you here? You wanna shoot him too?" Hyunjin said spitefully. "I want to check on him. I care about him." She said. "Just go hom-" Hyunjin stopped when Y/n walked over. "Who's at the door?" He asked and then he saw Yuqi. "Hi, Y/n." She said nervously. "Hi, I guess. Wait, how do you know my name?" He asked. "You don't remember me?" "Yuqi, you need to leave." Felix quickly interjected. "Wait, does he have amnesia? Is he okay?" She asked. "What's amnesia?" Y/n spoke.
