Taehee's POV
Slowly piece by piece, I was slowly remembering parts of my life. Faces that were blurred began coming together to form a picture. So far Taehyung, Hoseok, Eunha, Solbi, BTS and my mother were people whom I remembered. Well everyone in BTS except Jimin. It was peculiar, my memories of Jinae and Hani also resurfaced.

It was obvious that Jimin was becoming frustrated — to the point he ignored my sassy remarks and didn't bother mentioning my 'rude', but brutally honest, comments about annoying people around our school. Speaking truthfully, I wouldn't speak badly of others if they just weren't annoying.

At this point, I found myself a week before my graduation. I had passed all my exams miraculously and was currently excited to finally attend Seoul National University.

From what I remembered, going there was my dream. I had applied mid year and was stil, accepted into the biomedicine course. December, along with the year, was ending in a weeks time. And it was also nearly my birthday. Solbi had a countdown for it and continued sending me snapchats everyday as a reminder.

Then there was Jimin.

"Taehee." Jimin whined as he tried to hug me whilst I watched Running Man. I pushed his face further away from my mine, not sparing him a glance.

He pouted and wrapped his arms around my waist, laying his head on my lap. Clingy was an underrated word when it came to Jimin, I know fully understood how the maknae felt around his hyung.

No one was home tonight except Jimin and of course me. Everyone was out preparing for yet another comeback. War of Hormones, I was told. According to Jimin, the latter was relieved of his duties and was out on 'Taehee-sitting'. I was annoyed with the name and punched Jimin in the arm.

"What did you want for dinner tonight beautiful?" He asked, winking.

I grimaced and pulled a face of disgust at his greasiness. "Gross." I commented, kicking him off of the couch. I readjusted how I sat and grabbed a cushion to hug.

"But I want pizza tonight. Cooking is too much of a hassle now." He shrugged and walked into his room to order our dinner. I got bored with watching my television show so I stood up to the neatly arranged DVD sets. I was apparently a neat freak before the accident but now I was practically the messiest in the house.

Jimin popped his head out of his room to call me, "Taehee what kind of pizza do you want?" I thought for a moment before answering back.

I dipped my hand into the movie set and picked out a random movie. Staring down at the plastic casing in my hand, I squinted my eyes at the name of the movie, 'Silence of the Lamb'. Not giving much care, I popped the DVD into the player before jumping back to my previous spot on the couch.

Jimin walked in right as the movie began playing, he took a seat beside me, "what are we watching now?"

Pointing to the plastic casing, I watched as Jimin cringed at my choice in movies. He groaned loudly and let Honey onto his lap. Threading his fingers through his hair, Jimin exhaled deeply while muttering a few words of encouragement to himself.

As soon as the movie began playing, I was extremely amused with the way Jimin flinched every time Hannibal moved a muscle. The pizza delivery man had come about ten minutes into the movie, so we ate well watching the movie, eating one box of pizza each.

Halfway through the movie, the male beside me had successful regained some composure despite his teeth chattering and grimaces at the various corpses, creepy lines and gory scenes.

Honey had crawled onto my lap and was currently sleeping. "Hey Jimin." He hummed as he kept his eyes on the scene.

It was ironic that he obviously detests horror movies, especially the gory ones with lots of bloody scenes and decapitated body parts, yet when they're on, he can't stop watching the movie contently.

"Do you think I'll ever remember the bandana boy?" I asked, metaphorically referring to Jimin's situation. He shrugged and gave me a brief side glance.

Shifting closer to me, he took my hand in his. "Do you want to remember him?" He drew circles on my palm and smiled at me. Chuckling a little, he then continued "It's all up to you really. I don't think it's important. Actually I'll tell you something, I thought I was the bandana boy at first — the clues all pointed to me but apparently I was in Seoul the time you were in Busan, so that took me out of the possibilities."

I laughed and pulled my hand away. "This ain't no Korean drama." I jokingly said. The unusual warmth Jimin gave to my hand still burned. It was a familiar touch and I knew it so well.

This was what I never understood. Why does Jimin keep trying? I keep pushing him away, it just doesn't make any sense to me at this point.

Why keep chasing when it's just going to keep running until you stop?

We continued watching the movie until the end, by at this point Jimin was once again holding my hand. Voluntarily, I allowed him to hold it. I had lied and said it was so he would stop crying but it was actually because I enjoyed the feel of his skin against mine.

Taehyung and Jungkook had come home and watched the ending with us before running into the kitchen to eat a few snacks. However both Jimin and I stayed back to clean up the empty boxes of pizza, which caused the other two boys to riot after eyeing the empty boxes of what use to contain pizza.

"Why did you love me?"

My eyes widened as I spoke out of the blue. He had also stopped moving, stiffly retaining his stance. I was about to speak again before he beat me to it.

"I don't need a reason to love you." He paused for a moment, "I could lie and say it wasn't for your looks but I won't because I love the way you look all cute and beautiful when you sit all snuggled up in your oversized knits. I love the way your large framed glasses look on you."

I found myself smiling as he continued on, "but I also love how you don't turn your back on people. I love the way you defended me even though you got in trouble. I love the way you crinkle your nose whenever you're at the climax of a horror movie."

We found ourselves sitting face to face each other, just listening to him list down why he loved me. I could feel my heart fluttering at every reason, no matter how minor they were. 

It ranged from a variety of traits I had to personal habits.

Amazed, I wondered how he remembered so many of my little habits like biting my lips when I get nervous or embarrassed.

But then I began feeling extremely horrid at how he could name reasons why he loved me but I couldn't even recall a single memory we shared. He could name days I had my menstrual cycle but I couldn't even recite the names of his favourite foods.  

Cutting him off, I gave him a great big hug. "I'm sorry." I mumbled as I buried my head into the croak of his neck.

It was odd. He had already skipped ahead of the greeting-to-know-you stage of any relationship and I had been pushed back to the first stage by myself. I was lagging behind and that honestly saddened me, everything was new to me.

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because I can't remember you. And I swear Jimin, I'm scared because I don't know if I ever will because it's been a long time and I can't remember a single detail about you. I remember almost everyone else, even that annoying witch Hani."

He laughed and hugged me back while stroking my back. "Then don't remember me."

My face dropped and I pushed him off of me. Eyes bulging out of its sockets and my mouth dropped so far down. "Eh! You don't want me to remember you? You were trying so hard up until now to make me reminisce you but now you don't even care!?"

Jimin laughed, making me grit my teeth. "Don't laugh, I'm being serious right now Park Jimin." He continued laughing, making me hit him playful on the head.

"I don't need you to remember," he stopped laughing and looked at me straight in the eyes before leaning in to press his lips against my forehead.

"Because we can just make new memories together."
