As soon as Taehyung slept; Chaewon sat up and stared at himㅡ scanning every little features he held.

She slightly frowned; feeling a mixture of sadness and confusion.

She heard everything.

The confession Taehyung said wasn't meant for her to hear yet, she did hear it anyway.

So he lied to me?

Migraine appeared; and Chaewon silently groanㅡ bearing the massive pain. Squeezing her eyes shut as she ran her fingers through her hair.

It hurts.

Her head was throbbing, the tip of her fingers; numbed and she was aching mentally and physically.

She remembered.

Her memories weren't recovered a hundred percent but stillㅡ she remembered. She remembered Taehyung's voice whispering the exact same sentence.

The same sentence that made her heart fluttered.

Made her... cry.

I love you!

That much was enough for her to rush out of the threatre room and out of the house.

It was already ten minutes before 3AM and Chaewon didn't know where she was going since Taehyung was the one who picked her up.

She checked her phone and facepalmed when she saw 64 missed calls from Jun-Seo.

Shit.

She wasn't the type to curse but, she was in a lot of pressure and cursing just felt like the right thing to do at the moment.

After ten minutes of walking, she decided to rest near a playground but regreted afterwardsㅡ knowing that she felt someone was following her.

Quickly, she stood up and attempted to run but was grabbed by the wrist in an instant. She let out a loud scream but the person spun her around to face him.

"Hey hey! Shshh... it's okay!" Taehyung panicked as he held her by the shoulders. "It's just me."

"What are you doing here?" She inwardly cringed at how breathless she sounded.

"I should ask you the same question," he sat down on one of the playground swings and folded his arms. "I heard you slam the front door so, I followed you to make sure you got home safely."

Silence reigned between themㅡ she chewed her inner cheeks and sat down on the swing next to him.

"Sorry," Taehyung broke off the awkward atmosphere.

"For what?"

"For the worst first date,"he muttered and buried his face in his palms. "Allow me to take you out on a cliché date that people usually do in most blockbuster movies. Hmm? How 'bout it? A second date?"

Her migraines appeared yet again; this time, recalling back her argument with Taehyungㅡ the argument they had at the playground.

ㅡ

"Didn't you say that you'd do anything to make your mom smile? You managed to convince me but, why is it so hard for you to convince yourself?"

"You don't understand. I-"

"Actually, I do," he cut her off. "You were the one who told me to face my problems. You were the one who said to accept that other woman as my mother. You were the one who convinced me it's gonna be okay in the end. But, why can't you do that to yourself?"

"Because I was assigned to help you!" Chaewon snapped. "I had one job and that's to find out your problem. So, of course I had to do everything I can to solve it because it was assigned to me!"

He let out a false laugh and abruptly stood up. "Because of the assignment?" He studied her face and shook his head as he scoffed.

Her eyes quickly widen in realisation. "No, waitㅡ Taehyung. I didn't meanㅡ "

"And here I thought I was the one who had a hard time opening up to people." He shot her one last look before storming off.

ㅡ

"Chaewon? Hey, you okay?" Taehyung stood up and went to feel her temperature. "You're heating up! c'mon, let me get you home!"

He gave her a piggyback and held her legs firmly as he ran back to his home.

Little did he know, Chaewon was silently crying behind him as her breathing hitchedㅡ knowing that she remembered the forgotten memories.

The memories..

about the untold truth.
