I was at Donghan’s lab and I can recall some vague memories of me being tied to some steal bed, weird machines around me, my father appearing, berries and the memory change??
.
.
Flashback :
I can see some of the memories totally being wiped off which were about Yoongi’s halmeoni, Yoonseok Oppa and Yoongi’s parents and Kim Seokjin, my Oppa Kim Namjoon, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin – the guy who is said to love Julie (my sister), Jeon Jungkook and Kim ..
Kim ...
I feel that I am pulled back to life.
.
.
He is Kim ... I can recall some Kim. But was it Taehyung?
Ji A had dragged the boy towards me and he flashed his box smile.
Box smile.. Kim Taehyung.
INDEED IT IS.
KIM TAEHYUNG. THE PHOTOGRAPHER TAE.
I just feel butterflies in my stomach as Tae throws his hands around me and nuzzles me.
“Kristene-ah, we thought we lost you forever! BUT HERE YOU ARE. ALIVE!!!”
“Ahm.. Taehyung-ssi? Who are you?”
“Yes, I forgot. You might not remember me properly as that piece of biscuit changed and messed with your memories at the lab. Aiish..”
Memory Change? What again??
“Taehyung-ssi, I think we need to talk.”
Tae nods.
“Whoaaa... they are in love!” Ji A is not exactly helping now.
“Aniyo. Kristene is like my nuna! My hyung Yoongi, loves her!”
The sparkles in Ji A’s eyes ignited at that. “WHOA!”
Mrs. Jo is gaping at us open mouthed and so is Seung Ho. Nothing makes sense to them.
“Taehyung-ah, you can go to the porch and talk. I will keep kids here.”
“Ani, Krissy and I are off to the beach.”
Tae drags me outside towards the seashore.
The evening breeze is sweeping the waves upon the shore and the seagulls glided the air in happiness. The occasional coconut or two that grew on the seashore in the shrubbery looked a pretty place to take refuge and talk. It seems that Taehyung also noticed that.
“Let’s sit here.”
Taehyung pointed the white sands and squatted under a tree. I followed him.
“That brat seems to have messed with your brains so much that you cannot even remember me. Where in the hell is he anyway?”
“Do you mean Donghan Oppa? Oppa ... died ... in the explosion.”
“Oppa?” Taehyung scoffed.
“We are going to get this straight. Kang Donghan abducted you when all of us were on a trip to Raventree, which is a camping ground. Later, we heard from a reliable source that he is going to transform your memories about Yoongi to have been had with him. He practically changed your history inside your head. He just wanted to own you and call you his.”
“Okay? So are you telling me that I was just a subject of an experiment?”
“Yes. More likely. What he did was so cruel. He photoshopped a picture of you and Jungkook and made it look like you were cheating on Yoongi. That really broke our clique apart, but our older hyungs were rational and they saved us. When we came to rescue you from that lab, it just exploded. Min Yoongi was the most broken of all. The others looked so miserable.. We – we thought that we lost you forever.
I am not lying when I say this, but we just published a note of in memoriam today in the newspaper as it is six months since you died.”
He shows me the newspaper which he had tucked inside his pocket.
“I guess... uhm.. Thank you for not forgetting me.” I am at a loss of words.
Taehyung cups sand in his hands. “Can you remember any of us? Did Donghan heartlessly made you forget?”
“I can remember a bit about you, Kim Taehyung. But who were the others? I can remember that I was severely bullied in middle school and that I left it. Yoongi was the centre of it?”
“Mandy bullied you, but she is really nice now. We have Kim Namjoon, the person who always cared for you as your own brother. Yoongi was almost jealous that you ran to Joon always.” Tae smiled.
“Jeon Jungkook used to like you, but now he is dating your best friend, Hae Soo. Park Jimin, Jung Hoseok the happy pill and Kim Seokjin who is the most handsome dude and his girl is Mandy now. He used to be your drama partner, until he faked an accident and got Min Yoongi to act the part of Romeo and almost made him kiss you. You were playing Juliet.”
“That is really twisted! WHAT?? YOU SHIPPED US?”
“Krissy, Yoongi was so confused during middle school. His parents were only concerned about money and his elder brother, Yoonseok. He only had his halmeoni. When he felt that he was having wobbly, fluttering feelings towards you, it confused him so much that he became hostile to you. Until you left school and came back, Yoongi was not himself. He even joined an underground gang.”
“Wait Tae... I have a memory that I saw him at school during early morning, with his hand which was bleeding profusely. I guess that was the second day of my senior high school.”
“Yeah. That explains it. But eventually you two came about and became the couple that everybody envied. The famous Choco Chip Cookie...”
“Choco Chip Cookie because of the blemishes and freckles on my face?” I cut Tae and ask.
“Yep. The Chippy and Swag boy made every wall in the school cringe with envy!”
“You are being overdramatic, Tae.”
“But that was what it was like! I snapped your first couple photo at the prom day. I still have it. It was one of my prettiest shots, so I keep several copies of that.”
The smug looking boy from the newspaper earlier today was looking at me in white, with sparkling eyes. It looked a random shot, but it conveyed emotions so strongly.
Tae is looking at me wordlessly.
I remember now.
“Does it make any significance, Krissy?”
The memo-change done by Donghan was interrupted by the plan of my long lost father who appeared at the eleventh hour. So, I had some memories that could not be explained and now it all made sense.
“Yes, Tae. I remember it all now.”
