The Sky and You

Chapter 21: Who are you?

Tears won't stop from falling from her eyes. The pain was unbearable and it felt like her head was splitting into two. She barely realized what's happening around, or when people started to gather around her, or when Keun Suk Oppa carried her.

That moment she saw herself in her dream.

She was racing down the mountain and she was shouting 'Get out of the way! Get out of the way!' but the man in front did not move. He had a huge grin and waited for her with arms wide open.

Her heart was racing so fast, she was so afraid. She swerved a little to the side but the man caught her and the next thing she knew they were rolling down, her head pressed in his chest.

Her vision started swirling, she was loosing focus and the pain was killing her. She found herself in an unfamiliar room and Keun Suk Oppa was hugging her, caressing her head as if that would alleviate the pain.

Inspite of the tears falling from her eyes and the pain blinding her vision, the worry in his face didn't escape from her. He was saying something she couldn't understand nor could hear. She continued clutching her hair madly. Moaning was the only thing she could do.

A little bit more, she felt a sting in her arm and then she had a feeling that she was floating, her body relaxing and the pain was subsiding.

Then again, she was down in the snow, the googles clutched tightly in her hands. She was shaking and her heart was pounding. She shot him an angry look. Tears were brimming in her eyes and looked away to hide them.

With the softest touch, he reach out and touched her, it felt like her worries and fears were gone with just a brush of his hands. "Belle, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

The questions echoed in her head. She could feel she was being pulled away from that moment, she could feel her eyelids closing, yet with all her strength she turned her head and look at him, the man who said those words and a pair of worried eyes met her, brown and beautiful.

For the first time, the face of the man she kept on seeing in her dreams was so clear and she was determined not to forget about it. Till sleep finally won over her.

The last words that her mind was able to comprehend... 'it was Jang Keun Suk'.

Keun Suk could feel his heart being squeezed, it was so painful. He wiped away the tears that fell from Belle's eyes. She was in so much pain yet he can't even do anything.

I want you to remember me, Belle, so much but I don't want you to hurt like this. Why did you even have to come here? Do you really want to get your memories back? he thought but something was filling his heart, fear. I am afraid... If your memories return, will you leave again? Will I not see you again?

His thoughts were interrupted when the doctor came in. He was in his forties or fifties, though balding, he still look fit.

"Don't worry so much, let her rest for a while. Does this happen to her often?" he asked examining the half inch scar on the lower left side of Belle's head.

"I think this is the second time she experienced it Doc. The first time was a few days ago," he answered.

The doctor examined Belle for a while. He tried to calm himslef but he was really anxious.

"Is there something wrong with her?" he asked. He can't help but worry. He had a lot of questions but he couldn't bring himself to ask any further.

"Oh no. Don't worry too much. Your girlfriend is going to be fine," he said.

His heart leapt when he said the word girlfriend but he couldn't bring himself to correct him. He just continued to look at Belle longingly.
