The day. It's the day to be home after three years being away from Doyoung and my parents. I walked out from the arrival gate with my large baggage, running towards my parents who is waving at me from afar.
"I miss you guys so much" I hugged them both tightly then turned to Doyoung, passing his new-born son to sister Yena. "How's the doctor training, there?" I just hugged him tightly, ignoring his question away. "Looks like the home is calling" Mom interrupted my conversation I had with Doyoung's and rest her arm over my shoulder, dragging me towards dad's car.

After dinner, I walked into my room as it doesn't change much. the wall is still pale in colour, the bean bag is still placed nicely towards my window and... something else catches my eye, the polaroids that is pasted according to dates. I have a hard time remembering any of them fast, since it was exactly three years ago.
I threw myself above my bed then noticed that there were something bothering my lifeless body, which was a single polaroid. What caught most of my attention was, a name of a guy and mine was written on it. It's the same guy on the other twp polaroids on my wall too. I decided to look around the neighbourhood, or the beach, to be exact. The beach I always hang out with, Haeybi my six years old cousin.
"Aunty. Do you really not remember who uncle Jeno is? like even a little bit?" I continuously shook my head, and he starts holding my hands as we walk slowly beyond the shores. I remembered him, but I don't remember how close we were.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors and if either any of us lose, we'll play truth or dare"
"Deal" I clenched my little pinkie towards my one and only friend who I grew up with. We were always together back then in preschool.
"Hm, truth will be" He said, and I replied, "Tell me honestly. What are your plans when you grow up?" I asked, and he think.
"Doctor. So, i can know heal you if you got hurt" I started laughing and he joined in. We both laughed together and ended up laying on the grass, till we hits each other's head, laughing continuously.
"Then, if that's the case, ill promised to be the same thing as you. So, I'll heal you too" I replied, and he smirked, looking at the clear clouds.
My clenched hand with Haeybi's was removed when he decided to run somewhere towards a guy, seating underneath and against the tree, with his eyes closed. His hair was so light that the wind that flew towards him, was so strong to notice his hair.
I just looked at Haeybi who was tapping that guy thigh softly and makes the same person to be awake. They were smiling and hugging each other that they make me curious and terrified.
Haeybi pointed to me as the guy smiled to him and nod. Haeybi sat on a bench as he studied us. "Daemi, you remember me?" he spoke slowly to make me understand clearer. I took a moment and studied his face. "Jeno, right?" His tears start to drip downwards to his pale cheeks, and I couldn't do anything but to take a step back.
"I lose my memories and you promised me to never leave... how could you" His tears flow even more than before that I cupped his face, while he moved it away. I stood there, watching him sniffing as I dragged his head to my shoulder and slowly caressed his black hair instead. His arm was then wrapped around my hips and I forced myself to remember, who he was to me, but I couldn't.
"What happened to you? Have you really forgotten our days we spent? How about this?" His voice was as soft as woman's voice. He showed me his phone case and there's picture of us.
"You promised me!" he whispered shouted to me that make me break down into tears. He pushed me towards his chest and caressed my hair, like I did previously. "It took me so long to remember everything about you with the help of Doyoung" he continued. He slowly pulled my chin, to his view and softly placed his pale pink lips at the bottom of mine and smooched. Our nose touched, and he was worried that he let go of me.
"But hasn't Doyoung told you? I'm engaged"
