The night you left (Jaehyun FanFic)

chapter 6

   I heard a knock on the door. It slightly opened and Jaehyun's figure appeared. I was staring at a blank space, not knowing what to feel. He sat right beside me and softly touched my hair. "It's not your fault, Y/N". "Why did you leave?". I asked him peacefully. "I went abroad to study. I couldn't handle the fact that your memory of us was erased". "We could've started again". I raised my body to face him. Our faces were inches apart. "How could I forget those eyes?". I whispered when my phone rang. It was Jackson. I left it there ringing. "Ι just woke up one day seeing a stranger in front of me. Why wasn't I curious about the before?". I asked myself. Jaehyun raised his shoulders and kept on looking at me. "This is insane". I started crying. " I can't remember anything". I couldn't stop crying. Jaehyun wrapped his arm around me, and I suddenly felt safe. "That's why I don't have vivid memories from our past. Only shadows and pictures. Like a movie film... and I thought I was crazy. But you do exist". I calmed down and took a deep breath. "Could we start all over again?". I asked him and he smiled. "But, you're committed to somebody else". He said and I thought of Jackson. I loved him. "I'll leave you to rest and we can spend some time tomorrow". He said and stood up. "Good night Jaehyun". I told him and he slowly closed the door.

   The next morning I woke up with a strong headache. Someone was sitting on the edge of the bed facing me. I cleared my view and my gaze came across his. "Good morning beautiful". Jackson said and lied next to me. "How are you?". He asked and gave me a kiss on the forehead. "God, do you have a fever?". He said and kissed my forehead once again. "Let me bring you some medicine". He said and quickly headed downstairs. He was so freaking caring. He got back very fast with some paracetamol and water. He left them on my desk and quickly sat back next to me. "You need to eat something first. I came to check if you're okay. You didn't answer my call, and your mum told me you're a little sick". He said and I guessed he knew nothing about last night's incident. I wouldn't tell him though. "Jaehyun is a good guy, by the way. We had some talk this morning". He said. "Yeah, yeah... he is". I replied. "Wasn't he at the wedding too?". He continued. I didn't answer as I got lost in my train of thoughts. "I can leave you to rest, if you want to". He said, but I squizzed him onto me. "No, stay here with me". I said and he started tickling me. "No, no! I am a sick girl". I teased him, but he kept on. "Aren't you afraid you'll get sick?". I giggled. "I've already caught the lovebug". He said and we both laughed.

   Jackson left later at night and my mum and step-father spent that night out, as the day after were leaving for their honeymoon. Jaehyun was in the living room watching TV, and I could hear him coughing and sneezing. I stood up and headed downstairs to see if he needed anything. "Are you okay?". I asked him and as he turned around, his pale face made me worried. "Jesus, are you okay Jaehyun? Let me get you some medicine. I will prepare some soup too". I said. "No, no. It's okay. I don't want to cause any more trouble. I'll do it myself". He said and as he tried to stand up, his knees couldn't keep him. "Look at you! I am for sure in a better condition than yours. Just wait". Some minutes later I went back to the living room with some strong medicine and some veggie soup. I touched his forehead and damn, he had some fever. "God, you're so no good". I told him and as he looked at me, we both burst out laughing. "Am I that bad that it's funny?". He said in between his laughter and I positively nodded. "Here, have some soup". I approached the spoon to his mouth and it felt kind of cute that I was taking care of him. It was a nice way for us to get a little bit closer.

  "Thank you very much for the meal Y/N!". He said and lied down on the sofa buried in his blanket. "Tell me if you need anything okay?". I told him. He nodded and smiled at me and I headed back to my room.

   "Take care, Y/N. If you need anything, call me!". My mum said and hugged me tightly. "I love you Y/N, don't forget that". She told me and squizzed me into her hug. "I love you too, mummy! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I've got Jaehyun". I told her and gave her a kiss on the lips. "Bye, dad!". Jaehyun waved at his father and in a few seconds, the car was gone from our sight. "How are you today?". I asked Jaehyun. "I am much better. I believe the soup had some strong ingredients in there ha ha". He said and stood there looking at me. "What is it?". I asked him while standing there quite embarrassed. "It's just... You don't know how much I've missed you". He said and came closer to me. I didn't know what to say.

   Days went by and Jaehyun went back to his routine in college. I was kind of sad he had left, but I had Jackson. "Come at my place, tonight". He told me as we were walking downtown. "Sure, okay". I smiled at him.

   We were watching a movie, lying on his sofa, but at the same time, I was somewhere else. I wasn't specifically thinking of Jaehyun. It was hard for me to swallow what I had learned in the past few days. I was even feeling guilty that I couldn't tell Jackson, but he shouldn't know about that past. I didn't want to tell him, yet. He put his arm around my waist making me rest on his shoulder.  I wasn't ready to let him go. 

   "So, what's next?". "I don't know, us kissing, I guess".

   I woke up in the middle of the night, not knowing exactly why. Jackson was sleeping peacefully next to me. I stood up and headed to the kitchen slowly to drink some water. I took a sip and sat down, wondering where those dialogues were coming from. Could they have been from that night with Jaehyun? Had I shared some intimate moments with him? I went straight back to bed and I closed my eyes. I dreamt of Jaehyun, for the first time.
