Forget Me Not

FMN 11

Yin

I am torn on how I'd decide what to do with the information I have. Should I tell Tan that I found Prom? I wonder why does he have to run away when he has everything that most people want for themselves.

I didn't want to overstep my boundaries and end up fighting with Prom because I told on him. Collecting my thoughts, I send P'War a message.

yinyin_anw:
P'War, I saw your post on IG. The place is beautiful.

warwanarat:
Oh, right. It looked like
something out of a fairytale.

yinyin_anw:
Are you still there? I want
to check it out and take a
few pics.

warwanarat:
Yes, I am. I am actually thinking
of using this place for future reference.
Let me send you the location.

yinyin_anw:
Recieved it. See you there.

warwanarat:
Be careful on your way here.
See you

I chose to wear a white shirt and jeans so as not to attract any unwanted attention. I didn't forget to wear a mask before I got out of the apartment. I booked a cab because the place is a bit far. On the ride, I keep on rehearsing what to say and do when I get to the café. The last time Prom and I met was when I was asked to keep silent about what happened that day. And before that, I had punched him because of a misunderstanding.

The driver tells me that we have arrived, so I pay the fare and get off.

Seeing the place with my own two eyes, I could not help but agree that it really looks like it came out of a fairytale. It was almost the same as the one in Alice in Wonderland.

I walk slowly, admiring the view. I want to take a lot of pictures even if it was just an excuse to meet Prom and P'War.

I see P'War raising his hand to call my attention. I walked a bit fast to not make him wait too long.

"P'War, this place is just exactly what you told me. I am lucky that I had bring my camera with me. My phone won't do this justice."

"I agree with you. I am also lucky that I found a place like this because of someone who forced me to come."

"Oh, you have company? I would like to apologize if I have interrupted your date."

"What date? More like a baby's day out. I feel exhausted watching over the person I came with. You know him too. The one who were with you when you brought me to the hospital."
"

What are you two talking about? Care to fill me in the details?"

I turn to look at Prom who has brought the coffee to us. I see P'War rolling his eyes but I couldn't focus on two people at the same time, especially now that my main reason has arrived.

"P'War and I were just talking about our admiration of the place. He told me that you were the one who brought him here?"

"Yes, I did. I wanted to spend some time in a normal way but I was afraid for my safety and security so I brought P'War with me. If I remember it right, you're the one who punched me while we were on the hospital. How did you find this place?"

"I was the one who told him about this place. No need to worry that he's going to leak your whereabouts. Yin came here for the place not for you."

I felt a pang of guilt hearing those words from P'War. If only he knew about why I came, maybe he won't tell me about it.

"Okay. Let me leave you two. I don't want to listen to a conversation I won't understand. I would try going to the maze."

Prom leaves with his coffee and enters the maze.

"Yin, no need to tense up. What are you worrying about?"

"Nothing P'. I just didn't expect that Prom was the one you came here with. You already heard how he remembered me as, and it's not a good memory. I was really embarassed about it."

"People make mistakes. Don't blame yourself too much. I guess he really deserved recieving a punch from you. I admire you for doing that on my behalf. My patience for him is running out."

"If you don't mind P', can you help me a bit with taking pictures? Like give me advice or something?"

"Sure, come with me."

P'War leads the way through the place. I take pictures and show them to him. He felt like he was a different person when he's talking about photography.

"P', have you tried the maze? I want to see what's in it, if there's something that I can take a picture of."

"Nope, and I have no plans to try. I have enough stress. I don't want to think and analyze how to get out of it. If you'd like to try, go by yourself."

Why is lying so easy when it comes to Yin? From the time that he arrived, I knew that taking photos were an excuse. All I can hear from him is how much he longs to see Prom and how he was relieved when he finally found the person he's looking for.

I actually wanted to check out what is in the maze, but I didn't want to meddle with their affair. The last thing I want to do is eavesdrop on someone else's conversation.

I went back to our table and took a sip of coffee. It almost lost its taste because the ice has melted. I browsed through the pictures I have taken, carefully choosing what to add in my portfolio.

While going through them, I see a lot of likes from the last post I uploaded. I was surprised to see the number upon checking, only a few before it reached a thousand. I found unfamiliar usernames in the comment section, talking about how the scenery is nice.

I was about to reply to give them my thanks but a comment caught my attention:

prmxoxo:
Isn't that my idol that was caught on pic? Is this for a new project? OMG I am so excited!

This comment was liked more than the post itself, filled with replies from other fans. That means I unintentionally revealed where he is.

I tried to call his phone but he is not picking it up. That leaves me with no choice but to follow him to where he is.

I entered the maze, hoping that I reach him before he gets out of here and gets caught by the people he's hiding from.
