Never Let Go [EXO Chen Fanfic] (Sequel to ISLYLIGLY)

Chapter 15: Engagement

Yoonhye's P.O.V.

Jongdae isn't someone who falls easily.

Luhan's words had been lingering in my mind ever since the day Chen confessed. I really think that he's just mistaken me as his ex-girlfriend, as we look just the same.

"Ahjussi, how you met your wife?" I asked, holding my chin with both of my hands. I am now in the second hand bookshop. I often come here now as I enjoy talking with the old man, who runs the shop.

Ahjussi looked up from the newspaper that he's reading and pushed his glasses. "Why do you want to know about that, little kid?"

"I'm just asking." I stuck out my tongue and grinned at him. He smiled slightly and turned back to the newspaper.

After a while, he put down his newspaper and took a sip of his tea.

"I met my wife in a college. It was my second year in the college and she's in the first year. We knew each other through library. It had been almost forty years but I can still remember how we met." Ahjussi said.

"That time, I was poor and I couldn't buy any reference book, so I went to library every day to study there and borrow reference book from there. My wife applied for scholarship from the college and she had to duty in the library every week."

"Since I usually fell asleep in the library and she woke me up most of the time, we knew each other. That's how I met her." Ahjussi concluded.

"I don't even know if I ever date before. But as far as I know, I never have a boyfriend." I said, nodding.

"As far as you know?"

"Yeah. Ahjussi, I never tell you about that isn't it? Actually, I lost my memories. I forgot everything that happened before I am twenty. For me, my life started five years ago, started when I was in England."

"Five years ago?"

"Yeah. Ahjussi, why will people lose their memories? According to the doctor in England, he said that it might be because I fell and injured my cerebrum for that time."

"They say that people forget because they want to escape, escape from the past, escape from what happened before."

I chuckled. "You sound so much like my elder brother, ahjussi." I stood up and said, "I have to leave now, ahjussi. I'll visit you again next time." I bowed slightly at him and said.

"Drive safe, child." Ahjussi nodded and said.

As I was driving back to home, I received a call from Taemin.

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Yoonhye, do you have time now? No, even if you don't have time now, please come over to the mansion straightly."

"Wait, what happened?"

"Come here, instant. You'll know about that." With that he ended the call. What had happened? I made a U-turn and drove to the opposite direction, where the mansion is.

--

"Miss." To my expectation, there were servants beside the door when I arrived. I don't know why Taemin asked me to be here but I am sure that there must be something bad happening.

When I entered the living room, I was shocked to see Taemin kneeling down there, and father standing, looking mad. Mother standing beside father, trying to calm him down, I assume.

"What had happened?" I asked, looking at them.

"Yoonhye, you're back." Mother approached to me once she heard me.
