Ep 11 : Slowly to the Next Step

This time when I wake up, I can see our bodies entangled with each other. He hugs me deeply and I can't even feel my own body to be honest. I don't know where my hands and feet are. I just know my body seems to be frozen on the spot. What if someone comes in? I start to push him a bit harder and tell him to go since I don't want anyone to know about this. He chuckles while telling me that everyone knows about us. I don't know why, but his soft warm body just makes me feel secure. I am too scared to look up on his face, so I keep looking straight on his chest. Some red marks from last night starts to show up. 'Must be hurts' I whisper to myself. Start moving one of my hand to try and touch it to see if it gets really worse, but his hand grabs mine so quick. And I was overwhelmed by his fast reactions. He continues putting my hand around his waist. And starts hugging me deeply. I can hear his hoarse voice while he said.

"Let's sleep some more," and he kisses my forehead right after.

I can only blink my eyes

"What?!" I immediately sit up, forgetting that I don't have anything to cover my plain body.

I immediately try to pull the blanket, but he pulls it away from me.

"Hey give me that!"

"Nope. You look beautiful as you are. And why would you be embarrassed when I already saw and touch everything?" he continues scanning my naked top.

I cover them with my bare hands.

"Even so, you should have manners. Give me that!"

He lets me have them. I jumped down the bed and start looking for my clothes last night.

He looks perplexed while helping to hand me my clothes. I grab them and run to the bathroom. I close and lock the door. My face is still blushing red.

He knocks the door, asking if I'm fine. I feel like screaming to him and chased him away. But his next move was so unexpected. He unlocked the door, pushed through and in a moment, he is already in the bathroom with me. He then closes the door and locks it.

"Look, I can't bear to be apart from you. Not even for a second. After all these months, God knows how much I miss you. And all I know is you already forgetting me. How do you think I will handle that? It's crazy!"

I still stood still, not believing him.

"I know you are upset. I'm sorry," with that he goes out.

Exactly, what was that? Is he okay?

Young Bae comes in that evening to have some talk with me. He never said or mentioned anything on Ji Yong until the last moment where he said in a depress mode

"You know, the ones suffering the most when you were out there was Ji Yong. He cried every night. And performs on the day like he had no intentions to do so. He becomes so thin within months of losing you. He did not manage to get in contact with Shank for a while and the facts that he doesn't know how you were doing just silently killing him. When we first get in contact with Shank, the first name he uttered was you!"

I am still in deadly silent at that moment. Whatever the case is, he still has no rights to do that to me.

"I know you probably hates him for being clingy. But trust me once he found out you lost your memories, he once again gets into depression. Our entire flight here was filled with his silences. It hurts him that much because you are someone, he had been having a crush for since the past 10years."

Wait. 10 years? I thought we only know each other since the past few months!

"Curious? Yes, he knows you way before you know him. He keeps an eye on you since forever. He will always be the first one to know and if he could, he would try to work on something to get you out from troubles. Even before you start working for YG, and after you moves to JYP, he knew it all. Why do you think he is the ones that are so excited to prepare all sort of food when he can just choose one to give you the first day we came here?
