Remember Me? | Kim Taehyung

29

"It didn't work." I sigh, defeated, lying back on my bed and staring at the ceiling. I feel my eyes prick and I close them.
Jungkook and Jimin sit next to me on my bed, the others having gone home.

"He remembered some things though." Jimin said. "Like he remembers that he met someone at the hotel, and he took that same someone to the pier. And that someone was you." he says smiling.

I sigh again.
"I guess so." I say.
"What did he say on the bridge?" Jimin asks.

"He said my necklace was nice." I reply.
"Did he recognise it?" he asks. I shrug.
"I dont know."

Jungkook doesnt say much, instead he stares at my bed sheets and fiddles with his hands.

"So now what?" I ask, staring at the ceiling.

"Maybe you should take him to all those places again, but just the two of you." Jimin suggests, gazing out of the window thoughtfully.

"Do you think it will work?" I ask.
Jungkook finally speaks.
"He has to remember.. Right?"

There is silence. I bite my lip and a seemingly inevitable answer nags in the back of my mind. He wont.

"He has to." Jimin assures me, resting a hand on my shoulder and smiling warmly. I try to smile back.

"We have school tomorrow, get some sleep and we'll sort this all out in the morning." Jimin says. I nod and he and Jungkook stand. I hug them both tightly at the door and they wave goodbye.
Back in my room and ready for bed, I try to sleep, but I cant. I gaze at the ceiling for what feels like hours, before my phone buzzes and startles me from my daze.

Are you ok princess?

I look out the window and see him sat on his bed, his phone in his hands. He looks up at me and smiles. A smile that seemingly says: Everything will be ok, trust in time and everything will eventually fall into place.

I smile a little and nod at him. He smiles back and blows a kiss. I giggle and he smiles wider.

Goodnight princess, sweet dreams xx

I turn my phone off and lay it on my bedside table, rolling over in bed and closing my eyes. The locket Taehyung gave me lies cold against my chest. I haven't taken it off.
I take a deep breath and relax with the thought of Jimin's reassuring smile in my mind. I slowly but surely slip into a dream.

From somewhere in my head, Taehyung's voice calls out to me.
"Jagiya...I'm here..."

My alarm beeps noisily and I sit bolt upright. My hand flies to my chest to fiddle with my necklace as I adjust my eyes to the sunlight pouring into my room.
Fuck mornings.

Half falling out of bed, I turn off my alarm and head to the bathroom to get ready.

Half an hour later, I join Jimin and Yuri at the bus stop.

"Morning sunshine!" Jimin greets cheerily, and I look at him skeptically through tired eyes.
He chuckles and pats my head, as the bus rolls up to us.
The ride, as always, is short, and we reach school in no time. I sigh inwardly and gather my books and backpack and accompany my two friends in through the school gates.

I am at my locker when Jimin nudges me. I look over at him and follow his gaze. Jin, Namjoon, Yoongi, Hoseok, Taehyung and Jungkook walked together down the hall. They greeted us with a smile and a cheery 'hello'.

"Sleep well?" Yoongi asks me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I shrug, then nod, and scan the group again. Jungkook smiles awkwardly at me, seeing Yoongi's arm around me. My gaze falls onto Taehyung. He meets my eyes and smiles a little, before turning to fiddle with the hem of his shirt.
Classes start, the first one being history. I remember that Taehyung and I were partners for the project that is due soon... I wonder if he remembers.

Taehyung walks slowly up to my table and sits quietly beside me.
"Hey Y/N.." he says, almost nervously. I smile brightly back at him and make a point of fiddling with my necklace.
I see him glance down at it, then back up to my face, before turning away.

I sigh and turn around to Jimin, who smiles and gives me a thumbs up. I search for Jungkook. He is sat with his partner across the room. He looks around and I catch his gaze. He looks stunned for a moment and his cheeks colour slightly, before he manages a quick smile and turns away.

I turn back to Taehyung as the teacher walks in, and take a deep breath.

"Hey..uh..Taehyung?" I stutter. He glances up at me and rests his head in his hands, his eyes locked on mine as he waits for me to finish.
"Do you...do you want to go to the pier with me after school today?" I say it rather quickly, and he looks a little taken aback. I wonder if he heard what I said or if it just sounded like a sudden spurt of nervous gibberish.

He is silent for a moment and I chew my lip, waiting for an almost inevitable rejection. Then he smiles.

"I'd love to." he says softly. I nearly choke. His eyes widen in concern.

"Ok.." I say, my smile wide. "I'll meet you at the lockers?"
He nods and we turn our attention to the teacher, who has started talking about something to do with Roman culture.
The day passes slowly, but nothing dulls my excitement. Jimin and Jungkook notice my change it attitude at lunch. They look pleased, as do the rest. Taehyung, of course, is clueless.
The last bell finally rings and I race to my locker. I pull out all my books and shove them into my bag.

"Hey."

I jump a foot in the air and accidently slam the locker door on my hand. I wince in pain but smile at the person now standing beside me.

"Hey Taehyung."

~I know its been a while I'm so sorry. <3
