Do You Remember? (EXO Chen)

Can't Remember

"Did you just ignore me?"

I stared into Chen's eyes defiantly.

He stared back at me, looked down at my hand on his wrist, and snatched it away. My mouth dropped open, and I could hear the gasps and whispers of the other members.

"Jongdae, what-"

"What is going on?" Suho cut Chanyeol off, stepping forward and looking at the two of us, "did you two fight?"

"Not that I know of," I replied abruptly.

"Jongdae?" Suho turned to look at him, but he just averted his gaze.

"Holly, what..." I heard Kyungsoo speak up, his sentence trailing off midway. I looked his way, and realized that all the members were looking at me with confusion, shock, or both. So they had no idea what happened either.

"Go away," was the first thing that came out of his mouth, after days of not seeing each other.

"Pardon?" I asked, scoffing slightly.

"Please," Chen's voice cracked slightly, and I was alarmed to find that his eyes were watering when he looked up at me, "just go."

This has to be some type of sick joke, right? Chanyeol was going to yell out surprise any second, right?

But deep in my heart, I knew that this was very much real.

"Holly, perhaps-"

"I'm sorry," I interrupted Suho, and gave him an apologetic bow, "I interrupted your practice session. I won't waste your time any longer."

I spun around on my heels, and pushed open the door to their practice room. But before I could walk out, someone grabbed my arm.

"What's going on?" Chanyeol asked urgently, genuine concern on his face.

"I don't know."

I gave him a small smile, gently removed my arm from his grasp, and walked out of their practice room.

That was when the tears started to fall.

"Where are you going?" Sophia questioned, concern written clearly all over her face as she looked up from the book she was reading.

"I just want to go out for a walk," I replied, "don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Want me to come with you?"

"No, I know you've wanted to read that book for a while now," I offered a small smile, "you go and finish it."

"Call me if you need anything," Sophia called out, and I gave her a thumbs-up before I shut the door. I walked out of the building, and into the bright sunlight. It was around mid-day, and so there were many people on the streets. But I didn't go out just to enjoy the outdoors.

I took out my phone, and started walking rapidly towards the park. I glanced at the message again and again, a frown playing on my face as I walked past countless people.

You want to know what happened with Chen? Come meet me. Park, at 12:30. If you're not there, I won't wait.

I knew it was stupid for me to go. Who knew who had sent that message? What if it was people trying to kill me? To kidnap me?

But I also knew that I was desperate. Desperate for answers to questions that I knew nobody I knew could tell me the answer. Except for the one person who caused all of this, of course.

But then again, we hadn't talked in 2 weeks.

I reached the park, and slowly sat down on the swings, swinging back and forth gently. A slight breeze teased my hair, but I wasn't in the mood to enjoy my surroundings. I immediately stood up as I saw someone approach me, a confident smirk on her face.
