I Will Take You Home || N-K

{12}

Three months later, Eun Hee woke up from her coma. Her eyes opened, trying to take in her surroundings. Luckily, she hadn't lost her memory; she felt really lucky. She noticed the whole room was empty.

"Have I been sleeping for a long time? Is no one here to visit me? Have they forgotten about me?"

Eun Hee held her head, trying to steady herself.

"I feel like I've lost my memory; everything seems so fuzzy."

While she was busy talking to herself, she heard footsteps coming toward her room. The door slowly creaked open. Eun Hee looked at the door, her expression frozen as she saw a familiar face.

"Eun Hee... Do you remember me?"

Eun Hee didn't say a word, her eyes just focused on the guy.

"I didn't get a chance to ask you what your favorite flower is. But I brought these tulips because they really match your personality."

Tears welled up in Eun Hee's eyes. She turned her gaze away.

"It looks like you really don't remember me anymore, you must be shocked that a stranger came to see you."

Eun Hee sat up, leaning against the headboard.

"My name is Ni-ki, Nishimura Riki. We haven't known each other for long, but we've made a lot of memories together. Mostly the bad kind. Anyway, I hope you'll accept these flowers."

Ni-ki placed the flowers on the bedside table. Eun Hee looked at them and turned her gaze away again. She still hadn't said anything.

"I hope your memories come back, but not the bad ones. I know I'll probably be in those bad memories..."

Ni-ki took a step back.

"I'll take my leave now... Hope we meet again in the future, at the right time."

Ni-ki started to leave the room.

"I thought you weren't coming."

Ni-ki stopped dead in his tracks when he heard Eun Hee's voice.

"Is this your way of making me remember you?"

Ni-ki turned back, shocked that Eun Hee hadn't lost her memory.

"If I really lost my memory, you would leave me here, right? You wouldn't bother trying to be there for me during my tough times?"

Tears streamed down Ni-ki's face as he rushed to Eun Hee and hugged her tightly.
