Memory

Chapter 9

Thursday morning, Young Ji is in the kitchen making food for their breakfast and for their aunt who was hospitalized for 4 weeks.

As she's stirring the soup, Jin Woo quietly approaches her and hugs her from the back.

"Mmm, it smells tasty," said Jin Woo closing his eyes and savoring the smell, making her smiled.

"You should go get ready, or we're late to visit Aunt Sun Ae."

"Hmm... Can't we just visit her another day? I just took a day off just for you, but you decided to visit our beloved Aunt today." said Jin Woo mocking at Young Ji.

"Well, thank you for taking a day off for me, but we promised her to visit her today." said Young Ji wrapping her arms around Jin Woo, but he's making that sad impression, feeling disappointed.

"Hey, I promise we have our time alone after this. Okay?" said Young Ji kissing his lips to cheer him up. At last, he smiles brightly, and no more long face on his face.

Meanwhile, Young Joon was hospitalized because his trauma came back yesterday after she met the Hee Joo look-alike woman.

There he was accompanied by his big brother,  and Mi Jung came to visit him.

"Hey," said Mi Jung as she goes in his room. As soon as she walks towards the right side of the bed, he felt annoyed by her appearance.

"What are you doing here?"

"Visiting you, obviously."

"I don't need you to visit me, 'cause every time you appear in front of me, you're making me sick even more." said Young Joon sounded angry.

"Why are you like this? I came to visit you because I care for you." said Mi Jung holding his right hand, but he pushes away her hand out of annoyance.

"I think it's better for you to leave now, you're making his condition even worse," said Young Joon's brother politely.

Mi Jung rolled her eyes and leaves the room without any words.

"Thanks, bro. I really need this." 

"My pleasure, lil' bro." said his brother as he pats Young Joon's shoulder.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something,"

As soon as his brother said he wanted to tell him something, he started to feel curious what he's about to say. Could it be about the woman? Or something else?

"The doctor said to me that you can go home today, and that there's no problem with your health condition." said his brother, smiles happily. 

Young Joon was smiling just now but it fades out of disappointment. 'Huh, I thought he's going to say something about that woman,' thought Young Joon.

Meanwhile, Young Ji and Jin Woo holding hands while walk on their way to the hospital hand in hand to visit their sick aunt. As they're on their way to their aunt's room, they approach Young Joon, who's walking around the corridors.

'H... Hee Joo?' The thought constantly spinning around Young Joon's mind, wanting to know the woman's real identity.

He walk towards them and holds Young Ji's arms tightly, on the other hand, Young Ji and Jin Woo flinched by his sudden appearance.

"It really is you, Hee Joo." said Young Joon sounded like he would cry. On the other hand, Young Ji felt weird with Young Joon, knowing that she didn't recognize this person that's holding her hand that tight.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Young Ji questioned curiously. Young Joon was shocked to hear what she just said to him.

'She didn't know me...? Why? I know that she's Hee Joo, that's impossible that she don't know me.' Young Joon thoughts, feeling unbelievable about her not knowing him.

"Let go of my hand, please!" said Hee Joo pushes away his grip and pulls Jin Woo's hand and leave.

"What's with that guy seriously? Ugh." said Young Ji slowly massages her wrist that been gripped hard by Young Joon, whilst Jin Woo's impression changed so suddenly.

"Is it bad?"

"Not really. I'm fine." Young Ji encounters. Jin Woo knew this was going to happen, that he knew Young Joon still couldn't move on on her.

And knowing that Young Joon haven't see Jin Woo was with her all along. But to Jin Woo, it's a relieved that Young Joon didn't notice him, or else, what could have happen then?

Meanwhile, Young Joon goes back to his room to take a rest from the fusses he made in front of Young Ji.

He still in disbelief that she really don't know him. What could have happened to her back then? Where were she last time? Why didn't she came back to him after she knew she's safe from any harm? Those thoughts continues to wandering inside his mind continuously over the past 3 years.

"Now now, lil' bro. Stop thinking about that woman already, because she's someone's girl you know." said his brother pouring the water for his little brother.

As soon as he heard the word 'someone's girl', he looks at his brother with a curious look.

"Someone's girl? Who's her man? I- I didn't notice his face. Do you know her man, big bro?" ask Young Joon still clueless.

His brother leans on the wall and crossing his arms. "It's someone you know from high school," his brother exclaims.

'Someone I knew from high school? Who could that be? Could it be...' as he thinks and thinks even harder, he finally have the answer of his own.

"Could it be, ...Jin Woo?" Young Joon questioned. Before his brother answer his questions, he's bracing himself from hoping the right answer.

His brother nods.

'I knew it. Who would've thought he's in love with her even after Hee Joo asked him to break up till now?' Thought Young Joon as he recalls to what had happened between Hee Joo and Jin Woo.

And indeed yes, Jin Woo does love her and no other girls in the world. Knowing that he never looks away from her, that he knew she is his only girl he wanted.

But what makes Young Joon to thought further more, it's far beyond thoughts that Jin Woo is dating the Hee Joo look-alike woman. But, could the woman be Hee Joo?  And why did he's dating that woman? Is it because of her resemblance of Hee Joo's?

He had a very saddening day, the chances to meet the woman again despite he got hurt, and also the mystery of Jin Woo's purpose on dating the woman.
