"Kim M-Minseok?!" He looked up at me and nodded his head while he continued eating.

It's him.. The person who saved me backed then but... Will he remember me? Maybe... Or maybe not! Its been 14 years since that night. What should I do?!

"Hey, are you alright?!" I gasped when I felt his hand touch my cheek. It took me a few seconds to realize that I'd been crying. I immediately wiped my tears away and nodded.

"Ah, n-neh I'm okay!" I tried to reason with him but he shook his head.
"What's wrong Baekhyun-ah?!"

I looked away from his gaze while I fiddled with the hem of my jacket. How should I tell him, it's nearly close to impossible for him to remember me after all these years.

"Baekhyun-ah?!" His gentle voice called out again, making me let out a sigh as I looked up and met his gaze.

"Hyung, I-I..." He sat still and waited for what I've to say which wasn't happening anytime soon became I felt so nervous right now.

"Do you..." I glanced to the side, avoiding his gaze while awkwardly coughing.
"Do I what?!" He asked, his eyes widening and his lips soon forming the shape of an 'o'.

"Its.. Hyung, I.. You back then! The car.. You helped-"
"Wo there Baekhyun-shi." He cut me off, raising his hands up at me.

"Now... Take a deep breath." He said and I did as I was told.
"That's good. Just like that!" After a few more deep intakes of air, I looked at him feeling really embarrassed.

"I'm sorry hyung!" He just smile, shaking his head.
"So, what is it you had to say earlier?!" He asked, reaching for a chip from the packet I'd in my hand. I decided to tell him and so I took a deep breath yet again before meeting his gaze.

"Hyung, I'm not sure if you'll remember me but you... You saved my life when I was a kid!" As I spoke, I observed his expressions. At first he was surprised but it then turned soft and calm as I explained further on.

"So, do you remember me?!" I asked him, resting my hand onto the table as I waited for him to say something but I was even more surprised when he reached out and ruffled my hair so happily.

"I'm so glad you're okay. I thought I'd never see you after that night but I was wrong. Just look at how you've grown so much ever since! I'm surprised really! Omo, you're almost my height too!" He spoke on as I sat there with a smile on my face.

I let out a sigh of relief, happy to know that he remembered me and I was glad I got the chance to meet him yet again.
"Thank you hyung!" I said for every single compliment and he smiled in delight! Just then he clapped his hand and I looked at him in total confusion.

"Is something wrong hyung?!" I asked him but he shook his head before digging through his bag and suddenly pulled out a.... Toy?

I shot him a rather weird look but he rolled his eyes and took my palm in his, placing the toy onto my hand.

I brought the toy up for a closer look and I was surprised. It was an old action figure of the red ranger which had a few scratches on it but other than that it seemed fine.

"Why are you giving me this though?!" I asked him and he sighed, shrugging.
"That belongs to you anyways!" What?!

"What do you mean hyung?!" I asked him while I eyed the plaything in my hand.
"I was gonna return this to you that night but you'd already left with your parents, so I kept it with me!"

I raised an eyebrow at him, setting the toy onto the table as I crossed my arms over my chest, watching him carefully.

"So... You're telling me, that you.." I stopped for a brief second, pointing a finger at him before continuing, "Carried this toy everywhere you went all these years?!"
