Golden Times

THE FLOWER

CHAPTER 1

Faster..

He wanted to go faster.. But he knew he had to obey the law of the road.. No matter how badly he wants to get to the destination faster than lightning.. It's still a 30-minute drive..

But once he's there, he was greeted by the same people he sees everyday..

"Ah, Jimin-ssi.. We've got news--" he didn't stop to listen to her and just carried on to the room.. But as he was about to open it he heard two voices speaking.. Both which were absolutely familiar to him..

What he heard made him almost drop the bouquet of flowers he had to the ground. Almost.

He gripped unto it tightly and sucked in a deep breath before knocking on the door and opening it.. "Ah, J-" He gestured the doctor to not call his name.. Not yet..

"I'll just leave these here.." he said and placed the bouquet near the vase filled with still fresh flowers of the same kind he brought the other day.. "Do I know you?" she asked which pierced Jimin's heart a little... "Maybe? .. But one thing's for sure.. I know you."

he smiled and waved at the doctor saying he was going now.. and as he exited the room, another doctor was waiting for him bearing the news..

"I was trying to tell you. She woke up, finally, after three long years. But because she was in a coma for so long. It will take time before her memories come back.." Jimin nodded his head letting every word sink in..

"Has her family been informed?" he asked.. "Yes, they said they'll be here in two days.."

Travelling must be hard for her family.. Jimin thought.

3 years ago.. the day when he learned that the girl he loved was dying of an unknown sickness.. he wished and prayed to God to let her live. This time, long enough to give him a chance to make her feel his love.. Cheesy yeah..

But God granted it.. she survived.

In the last minute, grabbing on to that thin line they were given. They tried an untested cure they've been developing and luckily.. It was able to prolong her life.. but it wasn't enough to let her be conscious..

So for 3 years, she slept like sleeping beauty.. But instead of the kiss of her prince. The only thing that could wake her up was to fully heal her sickness.. The doctors did their best and slowly.. She was being cured..

Jimin begged her family to let her get treatment here in Korea for two reasons.. First, was that Korea was the only one who's able to develop a cure for her sickness during the time. The second reason, which was as clear as day for everyone. He didn't want to be away from her.

Even if they had a concert in Jeju or somewhere else.. He would manage to find time to go back just to check on her..

During the first few months since the incident, news headlines were filled with her and if there was one thing that angered Jimin, it would be because there were some articles announcing her DEAD.

He wanted to hunt the person who wrote those lies down and tie him up to his cars' bumper then drive all around Seoul.. Now who's dead?

But as his hyung said.. "Doing stuff like that wouldn't make Angie happy once she wakes up. She'd rather stay asleep to keep us as how we are in her memory instead of waking up to a different person she can't recognize.."

Jimin scoffed and hit the gas. If he knew she would lose her memory, then he would've proceeded with his plan.. He sighed and drove to the one place he loves to go to.

He went to the house he bought two years ago.. It's the place he always went to whenever he wanted to be alone and just clear his head..

He unlocked the door and was welcomed by the sight of pictures that covered most of the wall.. some were his but most came from a camera that was all too familiar.. A camera that belonged to one girl.

*I need you girl, neon areumdawo
I need you girl, neomu chagawo
I need you girl (I need you girl)
I need you girl, (I need you girl)*

He took out his phone and answered the call..

"Yeoboseyo?"

"Yeoboseyo.. Jimin-ssi, sorry but--" "Did he answer? Let me talk to him~"

"Yeoboseyo? Is this the boy who brought the flowers?" he felt his heart quicken hearing her voice after so long..

"De.. Why did you want to talk to me?" he tried to play it cool despite being so happy that she wanted to talk to him..

"Uhh.. Nothing.. I just want to say thank you for the flowers.. I heard that you come visit very often and that you always have flowers whenever you come.. Really, thank you.."

"Do you know what those flowers mean?" he asked..

"Not really.. But they're pretty.."

Yeah, they really are. The meaning doesn't fit it..

"Yeoboseyo? Are you still there Flower boy?"

Jimin wanted to laugh.. "Ahaha, 'Flower Boy'? Is that my nickname?"

"W-Well.. I don't know your name and no one would tell me who you are.. What am I supposed to call you?"

He could feel her pout through the phone.. She's still the same girl from before despite losing her memories..

"So.. when will you visit again?" if his heart quickened before, it certainly stopped now.. it was such a sudden question and he was surprised as hell..

"Yeoboseyoooooooo????? Heeeeeeyyyy~ You still alive??? Oh my god doctor I think he died!--"

"I'm not dead yet! Ahaha!" Jimin yelled when she started yelling hysterics..

"Oh really? Damn, then why aren't you answering?"

"I'm not sure.. I have a schedule for promotions tomorrow in Daegu.. But I guess I can make time if you really want me to visit."

"Heol.. Are you implying that I want to see you?" Jimin felt a smirk climb its way up his face..

"Aniyo.. I'm just saying that I might be able to visit tomorrow.."

"Oh.. Okay. Bring flowers again please!"

"I--*toot*toot*"

She hung up.. "I need to change the flowers now.." Jimin mumbled.. He looked at the vase filled with the same flowers he always left her in the hospital.. "Purple hyacinths.. means sorrow and forgiveness.."

He grabbed the flower and headed out.. He locked the door and threw the flowers away..

"I need to focus on helping her remember." he mumbled and happily sped off. His destination? The flower shop.. He's gonna do some research..
