"Don't look so down Hongbin." He smiled at him. "Lets meet up soon, okay?"
How does he know my name...? I didn't tell him. Hongbin wondered as he tried to smile and nodded, "Yeah. I hope so..." Hyuk gave him a hug before walking into the distance, his voice ringing in Hongbin's head, "Don't look so down Hongbin." Hongbin couldn't get his mind off the blonde male as he walked back home to Chi Ang and Liu. Where does HE come from?
"Where is he? Where is he?!" Liu ran around the house, worried sick about Hongbin. The Wang family already had dinner but saved some for Hongbin as they left him alone. He soon walks in, eyes bloodshot from crying and his normally neat hair in a complete mess.
"HONGBIN!" Liu cried out and ran to Hongbin with open arms. She kissed him all over his face and tightly hugged him. "I WAS SO WORRIED! WHERE DID YOU GO?!" Hongbin looked down and pulled her in tightly, fresh tears running down his cheeks. "I'm so sorry..." He kept repeating it as it was a mantra.
"Hongbin..." She gently kissed his lips. "Its alright, you're here now. That's what matters." Hongbin still felt guilty for what he had done. "Liu..."
"Hongbin... It pains me to see you like this." Liu admitted. She brought Hongbin into her room and sat down on the bed. "Please, tell me where you went." He took a deep breath to calm himself down. "I was at the park."
"The park?" Liu asked. "What made you wander over there?" She curiously wondered. Hongbin faulted a little before speaking again, Hyuk's voice in his head. "Jae Sang was pestering me about where I came from and I couldn't remember where I came from. All I remember is my family and what we did together. I can picture my home but not remember the name... All I really remember is waking up outside an art gallery and running to the park..." Hongbin leans on Liu, his tears wetting her shirt but she didn't mind. Liu was shocked with Hongbin's response. She rubbed his back and told him that everything will be okay.
"Hongbin, perphaps you have amnesia..." She said softly.
"What's that?" He sniffled. It hurt her seeing him like this - pained and broken. She wiped away his tears and kept smiling at him, even though she felt like crying alongside him. "Its when someone has a partial or a total loss of their memory." Hongbin buried his head in the crook of her neck, his tears still freely flowing. He knew he was lying to her but he had to because he didn't want to lose her. She meant everything to him and if he lost her, he didn't know what he'd do with himself.
"H-Hongbin... Please..." Liu started sniffling. "Try smiling. Try for me." She held him close to her, not ever wanting to let go. Hongbin tightened his grip around her before taking a deep breath to calm himself and to try to stop his tears. He looked up at Liu's face, tears threatening to fall as he looked into her dark eyes - which are like her mothers. He could see her worry in her eyes as he leaned forward, gently kissing her. Liu kissed him back, now with tears falling down her face. She knows she had just told Hongbin to stop crying but she couldn't help it. Their kiss tasted salty because of the tears but it didn't matter to them. He pulled away slightly and wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry..." He tried smiling but he just couldn't get himself to smile for her.
"Sorry?" Liu asked, confusion showing on her face. She grabbed the tissue box near her and blew her nose, throwing out the tissue in the bin once she was finished. He giggles a little at her blowing her nose. Even though she looked like a mess, he still found her adorable.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
"Its alright Hongbin." Liu smiled. "You're here now." She wrapped her arms around him once more and hugged him tightly. He smiles and buries his head again in the crook of her neck. "I'm tired..." He mumbled sleepily, letting out a yawn and almost falling asleep in her arms where he felt so safe.
"Alright, rest for a while." Liu said, patting his head and smiling sweetly at him. He smiles and nuzzles his face in her neck, breathing in her scent and listening to her soothing heartbeat. Within seconds, he was sound asleep in her arms.
"I see you two have made up." Jae Sang smirked as he leaned against Liu's door frame. Liu put her finger to her lips to tell him to be quiet as soft snore emitted from the sleeping prince.
"Okay okay..." Jae Sang said softly, smiling at his sister. I'm glad they have made up with each other... He thought as he walked back into the living room, where his father was sipping his tea once again. Liu listened to Hongbin's sweet and cute snores as she stroked his hair.
"Jae Sang, where's your sister and Hongbin?" Chi Ang asked his son.
"They are in her room but don't disturb them." He whispers, making sure his mother wasn't around. Chi Ang nodded and quietly chuckled as his son whispered. Jae Sang smiled and leaned on his father's shoulder.
"You'll always be my baby boy." Chi Ang smiled and ruffled his son's hair. Jae Sang smiled and kissed his father's cheek, "You're the best!"
"I heard that Jae Sang!" Yeon-doo said as she came in, sitting beside her son.
"What's wrong with that?" He protests at his mother.
"What about me?" She whines at her son, grabbing his arm. Jae Sang pretends to think for a bit. "Nah... You're not as good as Daddy here..." He smiles innocently as Chi Ang chuckles.
"Wha?" Yeon-doo pouted. Chi Ang just looked at her and burst into laughter. Jae Sang grinned and looked at his father, hugging him.
"Am I alone then?" Yeon-doo asked, getting off the couch. Her husband just nodded his head and hugged their son tightly back. She pouts as she leaves, going to her daughter for comfort. As Liu holds the sleeping prince in her arms, she also looks at her phone silently. She was so lost in her world with her music playing quietly from her phone that she didn't see her mother leaning on the door. She was so lost in her own world with her music playing quietly from her phone that she didn't see her mother leaning on the door frame.
"So how's it going sweetie?" Yeon-doo whispered, grinning at her daughter. Liu jumped a little but luckily Hongbin was knocked out to the world that he didn't stir.

"Shoo-shoo!" Liu told her mother. "He's sleeping!" He gripped her waist a little tighter but not too much as she played with his hair, a soft and contented sigh leaving his lips. Hongbin stirred a little, getting more comfortable as he was still leaning on Liu.
"You're so cute!" Liu quietly fangirled as she snapped a photo of Hongbin sleeping. Yeon-doo pouts as she leaves, rejected by her own daughter. Liu intertwined her fingers with his and whispered, "Don't leave me Hongbin."
It was quiet in the room, apart from the soft music Liu has playing from her phone. She started humming along to it before singing along to the song:
"Are you listening? To my voice, to this confession for you? Are you listening right now? Can you hear my heart? Like the raindrops falling on the window You enter my heart I need you, I need you, I miss you..."
