NEIGHBOUR || BAEJIN

25 : I LIKE YOU

"His condition now is at normal state. Just wait for him to be awake soon." The doctor leaves Jinyoung's ward after explaining to us — Jihoon, Guanlin, Jinjoo and me.

"I'm sorry.. I'm the one who is at fault. I shouldn't make him try to memorize anything. I.."

"Shh! He's waking up." Jihoon cups my mouth with his palm, looking at Jinyoung who is lying on the bed.

I pull off Jihoon's hand from mine and hide outside. I cannot let him know I'm the one that making him passed out. A lump of guilt lingers in my mind. Can he forgive me?

"You've wake up! Do you remember me?" Jihoon asks Jinyoung as soon as he woke up.

I just eavesdropping on the door, peeking over the small window on the door. Jinyoung face always looks great even after he woke up.

"Of course I remember you, Jihoon hyung. The hyung that I hate but love the most." Jinyoung teases Jihoon, like always.

"How about me..?" Jinjoo asks him now. I bite my nails, waiting for his answer. If his memory still the same, another pieces of guilt will planted in my heart.

"Seo Jinjoo. Y/N's bff. Who screams everyday with Y/N like crazy people." Jinyoung answers right away.

"What's my relationship with you?" Jinjoo tries to test his memories.

"I don't even know you well. So, I don't know maybe distance friend?"

His answers makes me heaves a relief sigh. He finally have came back. The old Jinyoung that I like and have crush on.

"Where is Y/N? I miss her so much." He continues.

I hold the door handle with a tight grip. "Why this door cannot be opened?! Y/N.. You're outside, right? Just open this door and meet Jinyoung. He's already fine." Jihoon urges me to open.

"Fine? What does hyung mean?" Jinyoung stops Jihoon's action.

"After you got hospitalized a few weeks ago, you have a slight amnesiac. You confused over Jinjoo and Y/N for which girl that you like. Your answer made Y/N heartbroken because you stated that Jinjoo was your girlfriend. Because of that.. Y/N removed all memories about you and her." Jihoon explains to him.

"Y/N.. You know that's not real me right? I'm finally here. My own memories have back. Please open this door and let me see your face. I miss you really bad. Open up!" Jinyoung knocks on the door nonstop with all his mights.

I make up my mind and take a deep breath, loosening the handle. I lean on the wall next to the door, closing my eyes. I'm not ready to be face to face with him.

"Y/N, I.. I'm sorry! I shouldn't have to wake up in that kind if mental state. I hate to see myself hurting you. Why myself did that to you? Why.." He cried while hugging me.

"Jinyoung.. I'm the one that should be sorry. About what my dad did to you.."

He plants his lips on mine, stopping me from talking further. I try to push him away but he hugs me, not letting me go.

"Now, both of our fault already lost, right?" He smirks.

"You never change tho — cringey~" I hit his shoulder, getting an ouch from him.

"And they both have back to their own selves. So great to see it." Jihoon claps for both Jinyoung and I. "But.. When will Guanlin and Jinjoo start?" He nudges the tall boy next to him playfully.

"Jihoon sunbae not getting anyone?" I ask him curiously.

"If I can kidnap you to be in my heart, I would do that. But I pity for this dark boy." He brushes Jinyoung's hair, turning it to become messy.

Everything's going well at the end.. Thank you so much, Jinyoung for be yourself.

"Y/N! Come out from your house in 10, 9, 8.." Jinyoung continues counting from outside of my house while I'm busy dressing up in my room.

"I'm coming!" I rush to the front door, welcoming him in front of me.

I lived back in the house that my grandma gave me but I still worked at Jihoon's mom shop. Best news is that Jinyoung and I have declared that we were in relationship. Jinyoung will visits me until 10 PM at night. He takes care of me like such a gentleman.

"Jinyoung! Y/N!" Jinjoo calls us from the back.

I turn around, looking a Jinjoo who is holding hands with Guanlin. Yes, they have make a move finally.

"Why both of you so slow?! Jihoon's flight will fly off soon." Jinjoo scolds us.

"Your best friend that dressed up so slow like a snail. I waited for a few decades already."

I stomp on Jinyoung's foot, shutting his mouth. "Let's go now then since all of us are here."

"Jihoon hyung!" Guanlin rushes to Jihoon's figure who s holding his luggage. He looks startled by our sudden arrival.

"When did all of you arrived here?" Jihoon asks.

"Just a few second ago. But.. Are you sure you want to go to the Japan alone? Isn't it dangerous?" Jinyoung asks him back.

"I go there to study more about music. I'm not doing bad things like you." Jihoon teases Jinyoung back.

I hold Jinyoung before he starts to move. I know he wants to have a fight with Jihoon even though it's a small matter. "Jihoon sunbae, I wish you will have such a lot of knowledge that you can teach me back when you're finished studying." I wish him.

"I can teach you that too! Why don't you ever ask me, Bae-thoven." Jinyoung interrupts me.

"Urm.. I should go now to check my ticket and sit on the plane. I will miss all of you. I love you all." Jihoon waves goodbye while walking to the other direction.

"Time flies so fast, right?" I sighed. "Jihoon sunbae already fly to Japan. When will I?"

"When our honeymoon~" Jinyoung whispers to me.

"Bae Jinyoung!"

I chase him as he runs away from me, knowing that he would be beaten up by me.

When we are forever be like this, it will also end like this. Thank you so much, Jinyoung. My life now is complete.
