joy stared at taehyung in both disbelief and rejection. then, taking a deep shaky breath, she exclaims, "why would you do that?! now the water's all over the floor! stupid taehyung."

taehyung glared at her, "get out." he said sternly.

joy decided to ignore him. instead, she grabbed some tissue and bent down to wipe the wet floor. taehyung silently watched joy with her back facing him. he couldn't contain his frustration and rage due to his confusion. sure, he was informed to have taken damage into his brain after the accident ─ the failure to remember that one particular person from his life. but he was never told that it was this woman who is in fact, his girlfriend. it was indeed frustrating. because for all he knew, he still loved someone else ─ irene.

then, it all came back. he had been so occupied, he forgot the incident about irene. they broke up. they were over since...a month ago, was it? and just recently ─ a few days ago ─ he coincidentally found irene with another man. his memory from that certain day was quite hazy. yet somehow, he had a feeling that someone was with him during that time he witnessed irene kiss someone else but he couldn't recall no matter how much he thought about it.

"irene..." taehyung whispered, sentimental.

joy's body stiffened and her ears perked up upon the name escaping the boy's mouth. she grimaced as her hands stopped moving from wiping the wet floor dry.

"why?"

taehyung looked over the young damsel. she still had her back facing him but even though taehyung was unable to see her face, he caught a glimpse of her fists clenching itself tightly until her knuckles turned white.

"im not sad. well actually, i am but hey, im mostly upset. upset because how come im the only one erased from your memories? i know im being selfish but it's so unfair! why? why is it only me? am i really that insignificant in your life to be easily forgotten like that? it's very upsetting and i can't help but complain."

the girl grumbled. her petite body trembled slightly, it caused a moment of panic to taehyung. was he too harsh? well captain obvious, he certainly was.

taehyung gazed at joy's crouched form on the ground as she ran her delicate fingers across her hair then, wiped her face with the back of her hand.

"h-hey..." he hesitantly stuttered. "are you...perhaps, cryi─"

taehyung immediately paused when joy glanced at him with the least expected expression he ever expected at the time.

she was smiling.

taehyung frowned in confusion at the sight.  why the heck was she she smiling when just a minute ago, she sounded like she was gonna cry. then suddenly, joy began giggling softly ─ taehung wondered if she had gone mad. 

"were you concerned?" joy grinned in delight.

taehyung glared at her, "no, i was not!" he denied, but when he caught sight of the hopeful look on her face, his own softened. "...well, yes. i was. i'm afraid i was too harsh. im sorry."

joy grinned wider. "im glad..." she beamed.
