the monster in my closet.

12 | memories

i wake up in a white room. my head hurts like crazy.

i hear the people in the room say, " she might not be able to remember a whole lot... "

" she'll be able to remember at some point. "

" why does this have to happen? "

then silence.

" yoomi? " a boy says, approaching me.

" mhm? "

" youre finally awake? how are you feeling? " he says, petting my hair.

" my head hurts a bit... what happened? and.. who are you? "

another guy with a worried face comes up.

" yoomi.. thats your boyfriend, jungkook. " he says.

i had a boyfriend?

" oh.. who are you? "

a tear almost escapes his left eye but he quicklt wipes it away.

" your brother, min yoongi. "

" oh... im sorry. "

a taller man with glasses and a long white robe stands next to me, telling thw two boys to leave.

"min yoomi, are you alright? does your head hurt? " He starts.

" a little... why? "

" well, someone came in and shattered a glass bottle on your head.. the area that you were in was not that safe. we aren't sure, but we are guessing that the person was drunk." he says.

i leave the hospital after a bit more talking with the doctor and scheduling off some therapy for my memories.

i remember the basics of my life like my school, my name, my parents.

the only things i can't remember are my friends, my career, and the people i liked or loved. or disliked.

i am sitting in my room with my so called 'boyfriend'.

he looked quite stressed.

" yoomi... you just dont understand... im not just your boyfriend. "

" huh? then... who are you? "

" im... the monster from your closet. "

" thats... thats bullcrap. quit messing with me. my head already hurts. "

" im not kidding! one day you forgot to close your closet door and i come out. im your guardian. you see the ring on your finger? it changes colors whenever we break a monster law or get into a fight. "

" real funny. "

" yoomi, i know it may sound stupid now but im completely serious. "

" how am i supposed to trust you? "

" because... because i love you. "

" how did i fall in love with you? "

" i dont know. we just got closer over time and then it just clicked. "

" does everyone know your my monster? "

" no. "

" well... what was something you said on the first day we met? "

" min yoomi. i am your guardian. no matter what happens, i'll be there for you. i will do everything i can without breaking a law. but one thing. you must wear this ring no matter what so that I won't disappear. it's something important. it will be hard for you to understand... but if you don't wear it, then my connection with you will be lost and you die. if you lose it, i will vanish and you will die. if someone else wears it, i will become their guardian and you will die. and the-- shit. i forgot the rest of the speech. "

" you actually said that? " i say, bursting out laughing.

" yep. "

it was silent for a good minute before jungkook gets up to get something out of a red bag.

" when we were in the bookstore together you showed me some mangos. "

" mangos? at a bookstore? "

he nods, turning around with naruto in his hands.

i smile, remembering the time.

wait... " i remember! "

" you- you do? really? "

i nod, excitedly.

so for the next few hours jungkook tried to share our memories so i could remember.

" and then he took away the law that we could like each other. " he says, smiling at the thought.

i wasnt listening at this point, just enjoying his sweet smile.

" youre really cute. "

" h-huh? thanks... "

i nod, patting his cheek.

i turn to lay down with my head on his lap.

" you werent this in love with me back then. " he mumbles.

" oh... i wasnt? sorry. "

" its fine! i like this you. "

" really? i like this you too! " i say, smiling.

" do you remember everything yet? "

" i dont know... "

then he kissed me.

and just like those cliche dramas, it clicked.

my head started to hurt as i remember everything.

tears fall from my eyes and then once again, everything goes black.
