Played By Fate

9♧ The Truth

July, 2015

Jino's POV

The members were exhausted and upset about the news on the debut.

As the oldest hyung, I ought to do something for them. I decided to myself although I'm feeling sore myself.

"I'll go buy some snacks for all." I faked a smile and just like what I have expected, they didn't answer.

When I had finally bought some chips, yogurt and some other food from the convenience shop, I was about to call Jiwon to ask him if he wanted me to buy some other necessaries.

That's when I realised that I didn't brought my phone.

"Arhhh, nevermind then. I can still come another time."

Watching the pedestrian traffic light turned green, I crossed the road while thinking about the other members.

Without warning, a motorcycle dashed in my direction and bumped right into me.

Before I even managed to do anything, I remembered being bounced off the road and then I remembered nothing more.

The next thing I know, I woke up to see a girl eyeing me with suspicious looks.

She looked like an angel.

"I finally remembered it all!" I exclaimed as I widened my eyes. I repeated my statement until the motorcyclist tapped me on the shoulder.

"Sir, are you okay? I'm so sorry I was about to knock--" He began to say but I hugged him. I don't know why I did it, I guessed I was too exhilarated to regain my lost memory.

"Thank you! Thank you so much for almost knocking over me!" He gave me a puzzled look and I bet he thought I went mad.

He pushed me away and looked at me once more in dismay.

"Sir, I'm truly sorry for being careless in driving but I'm guessing that since you're fine already I shall be going."

He reached for his pocket and handed me some money.

"Here, take it. Take it as a compensation for causing injuries to your physical.... and mental." He said the last word rather hesitantly as he got back to his vehicle and drove off.

I would get back to iKON soon, they need me for the debut.

Suddenly I felt so sorry because they must have been worrying about me and because of my disappeareance, I bet our debut is delayed.

I've better tell Y/N about this! I bet she'll be happy for me when she finds out later. I smirked to myself.

Y/N's POV

I woke up from my afternoon nap and went over to the kitchen to fetch myself a glass of water.

Weird, where is Jino?

I thought to myself and went to the living room. I switched on the TV, watching some random programmes.

Then I heard the doorknob suddenly twisted open and Jino is back.

I could sense that he is trying to hide a smile from forming in the corner of his lips but I thought nothing of it.

Then he sat down right beside me.

"Where did you go?" I asked him casually, eyes not leaving the TV set.

"Oh I went to the grocery. I was planning to do some shopping."

I turned my head to face him.

"So where is your shopping bag? How come you got home empty-handed?" I asked him again.

Suddenly he broke into a grin. What was it, why is he so happy?

He looked like he wanted to say something but he stopped himself. I drank my water as I waited for his next sentence.

"Hey, who do you think I was before I lost my memory? Could I be an idol or something?" His sudden question made me choke on my water.

Did he remembered anything?

"Is that even possible?" I chuckled nervously as my heart started to thump rapidly.

"I guessed not. I was just asking." He chuckled back.

Phewww... I thought he had recalled everything! I wasn't planning to tell him this soon yet...

I gave him another light laugh before I went back to the kitchen to put back the glass.

Jino's POV

I silently laughed to myself as I watched Y/N disappeared into the kitchen. She thought it was impossible for me to be an idol!

How would she react when I tell her one day that I was an idol? Would she find me cool? Listen to my vocals, stanning me in the group?

Now that I've finally found out who I really am, I'm guessing I could start planning now. I'm so relieved I wasn't a criminal or anything before this,and I believe I have the rights to tell her how I feel about her. Not as Jino, but as Jinhwan, Kim Jinhwan.

I smiled to myself as I started having imaginations but I was disrupted by the ringing of the phone.

I looked into the kitchen and called Y/N several times but she didn't answer. I think she had gone into the toilet. So I decided to pick up the phone.

"Yoboseoyo?"

"Hi, this is a call from the police station. Have Kim Jinhwan know what he needed to do as instructed a few weeks ago? The people from YG Entertainment had came to fetch him up."

What is all this about?

My identity have been found out since a few weeks ago? How come nobody inform me about it?

Just at this moment, Y/N just came back from the kitchen.

I looked at her emotionless as I hung up the phone.
