Lost Was An Understatement

Part 18

Monday 4:30PM

"No Yana! You don't have to help me!" Her aunt said, grabbing the tray from her hands and blocking the storage room door. Yana furrowed her eyes.

"Just let me help you. You should be resting! I'll work!" Yana smiled and her aunt shook her head.

"Just study and go have fun. Don't worry about the cafe!" Her aunt exclaimed and Yana crossed her arms.

"Fine." Yana said and went to sit down in one of the beanbags to study.

Monday 7PM

Jamie and Yana were quietly sitting together at the dinner table, not talking to each other. Jamie seemed to be too busy eating, and Yana seemed to have way too much on her mind she couldn't speak.

Jamie noticed and cleared his throat to catch Yana's attention. Yana looked at him, annoyed. "What?" She said and he made puppy eyes. "Talk to me... It's too quiet!" Yana sighed.

"Just because I confided in you doesn't mean I'm not mad at you anymore." Jamie rolled the fork in his spaghetti, he took bite of food and looked back at her with a sorry look.

"Me and Mom did it for a reason." Yana rolled her eyes, and looked at Jamie with a death glare.

"I know you did, but the reason wasn't enough for me. Look at me." Yana pointed at her hair getting longer than it was when she came to her hometown, and the way she was dressed with no makeup. Jamie stopped to realise and Yana chuckled bitterly.

"This city is changing me. I looked at Kang Yana's pictures.... and I've become just like her. Either I've just changed because of the breakup or my memory has turned me into her..." She then stopped for a sec and put down her fork.

Yana laid her chin on her hand, her fingers tapping her chin as she stared at Jamie with questioning eyes.
"Or is it just this town? Because guess what.... I'm going to find out what else you people are hiding from me."

Yana gave him an evil looking grin. "When I find out. I will give you all what you deserve." She pushed her food away and stood up.

"I lost my appetite." She slipped on her jacket and left, leaving Jamie with his thoughts in a mess. He slammed his own plate away from him and hid his head in his arms.

"I knew this was wrong.."

"Yungie."

Yana waved at him with a smile. Yungso smiled back at her and flicked her head as he came closer.

"That's not how you used to say it."

Yana rubbed the spot on her head. "How then?" Yungso's smile fell a little. "With that cutesy voice of yours." He pursed his lips after saying it and then shook his head.

"Nevermind. It's been a while since we've hung out huh?" Yana nodded in response and he continued "I guess this place seemed familiar to you, you chose to meet here right?"

Yana sighed. "I'm sorry." Yungso shook his head and ruffled her hair. "It's not your fault." Yana sighed again and Yungso forced a smile. "Now that's the Yana I used to know. Always sighing." He laughed, it didn't seem sincere to Yana though.

Yana hugged Yungso and Yungso laid his head on top of her head. Yungso gulped. "But I must say. Was I that insignificant you could erase all 15 years of our memories...?"

He slightly pushed her away. "Don't worry about my happiness, my happy your here... Just promise me I'll be the first one to know when you remember." He smiled and Yana nodded. "Promise."

Yungso locks eyes with her and smiles. "Go sit over there. I'll go get some snacks." "Okay... I'll wait here."
Yungso then stretches and walks into the convenience stores direction.

Yana took a deep breath when he was out of sight.

"I'm going to remember." She mumbled to herself.
