Lost Memories (Taehyung x Jennie) [The Final Book]

◆ Seven ◆

- Taehyung

We went home, and until now she's quiet.
What just happened?

Her expression seemed to be frightened and shocked at the same time earlier.

But she said, she's fine when we are about to leave the restaurant. While taking the path to our dorm, she's unintentionally gripping on my hand. And I can feel that her hands are shaking, as if she's cold or what.

Now, she's in the bath room.
I can hear the shower.
I can smell the scent of the shampoo she's using.

"What just happened to your mood, Jennie?"

"I'm starting to get more worried about you and the thing you saw earlier."

I thought and sat on my bed, waiting for her.

And several more moments...

"She took long enough to make me feel sleepy."

But she's already dressed up as she went out of the bathroom.

I stood up and looked at her.
She removed the towel on her head and looked at me...

Blankly, she avoided my eyes and went to her desk to get her hair brush.

She brushes her hair and didn't gave me glance after that.

But I sat on her bed and she, then, noticed me.

She looked at me and I took the time to ask...

"Are you fine?"
       I asked seriously.

I saw doubts and hesitationd in her eyes as I gazed to it while waiting for her answer.

"I told you, I'm fine."
      Then, she answered and turned her eyes to the window.

"Why are you so quiet and...like that?"
      She looked back at me as I asked.

"Nothing, Taehyung."
      Off guarded...she answered.

"I caught you. You called me Taehyung which is only happening at serious times."
      She rolled her eyes on me before sighing.

A minute she took, to compose her thoughts before saying it...

"It's weird...he's all in black, black cap, black mask, black longsleeves, black pants and black shoes. I believe I saw Eun Woo earlier...but I feel so frightened upon seeing him which is uncommon for me. I should have felt anger instead of being scared."
       I got serious the moment she have spoken the name 'Eun Woo.'

"Where? At the restaurant?"
      Curiosity ate me and I can't stop from rushing to ask.

She gave me a serious look that is answering 'yes'.

"How can he go out wherever he is? He's wanted and he can be arrested anytime when people saw him."
      My forehead creases automatically as my confusion started to get bigger.

"And how dare he show himself?"
       I'm getting frustrated...

"Maybe...maybe it's just an illusion, what I mean is, maybe I'm just having hallucinations."
       She answered worriedly and fright is evident on her as she was tensionally looking at her hands.

"Plus...I'm thinking about him the past few days because he's still not getting caught. So, maybe, it's just an hallucination."
      She added.

She sat on the corner of her bed.
I just stared at her and watched her.

Upon watching her...
I saw her bitting her lower lip.
And she's sweating. She's a bit of pale too.

"Jennie."
       Raising her eyebrows while lifting her head, asking ' what is it?' as she looked at me.

"Are you fine?"
       I asked and walked towards her.

I crouched infront of her and she looked down at me before answering...

"Mm."
      She hummed while nodding her head.

I smiled at her but the frightened look at her face isn't fading.

"Taehyung-a, may I go to sleep now? I'm sorry, if I can't entertain you now, I just feel so tired and sleepy."
        Suddenly, she wished and I can see her eyelids are heavy to hold.

"Mm, of course, my Jendeukie. That's fine, besides, you have entertained me already earlier."
          I let her loednon her bed and I put the blanket over her. She shrugged a bit to tuck herself more and closed her eyes.

"Have a sweet dreams, my Jendeukie."
         I caressed her forehead.
She's warm yet she's still sweating a bit.
Perhaps, she's nervous about what she saw earlier.

"I don't want to believe that you saw Eun Woo...he should have been hiding and not showing up himself.

Though, there's the possibility that he's all way around...but I can't let him hurt you again. Not this time.

If there would be a second time that one of us, or you will see him...that's time I will believe."

"I hope you're fine, Jennie.
And I hope that seeing him earkier was just a product of your mind."

"I don't want to get bothered with some problems again.

We're both happy...all of us are happy and we can't let anyone destroy that."

"We should maintain it like this.
We should delete the dark things in our relationship. Including th ose people that will do everything to make us apart."

"Jennie...
I love you.
And no matter what, I won't never forget that. Even though there are so many conflicts for the both of us.

I won't forget how you've fought for us.
I won't forget how we loved each other and showed it everytime.

I love you...
And I hope...
This would last until the end."
