Memory

Chapter 18

It's been months since I last talked to Young Joon. Why isn't he picking up my calls? Young Ji nags in her thought, her expression became sullen thinking about it.

She kept dialing his number again and again. If not, she would send dozens of text just to make him call her. But to no avail.

What is going on to him? Ugh. Thought Young Joo in frustration. She hasn't really know whether he knows that she had been in an accident, which happened right after she was being sent back to Jin Woo by Young Joon himself.

It felt like that happened yesterday. Not being able to see, nor talk to him makes it feel empty. Given that she had recovered her memories from amnesia, thanks to that accident (not really), she wouldn't have to suffer the headache of trying to remembering things anymore.

"That's it. I can't tolerate this anymore," she mumbled under her breath, agreeing to herself to do something about it. It was time to be forward to him, she thought. She couldn't wait for him to confront her because everything between them seems off to her.

Even if she was kicked out, he couldn't have just ignored her as if she doesn't exist. Another thing, it was he who kept convincing her that she was the woman he's looking for all along.

As she decided so, she got herself prepped and head out of the house. Luckily, Jin Woo left home hours ago for quick errands, but it seemed that it's not that quick when he has been out for a while.

Fortunately for her, she memorized the way to his house. That's the perks of running away from home before the accident. At first, when she finally recovered her memories, she thought he would've moved back to where he used to live. But she realized everyone basically grew up, and not everyone is living at their home where they grew up.

Just as she was about to pull over her car, she saw Young Joon was checking his mailbox. "What a coincidence!" She exclaimed in excitement and relief, finally got to see that charming face after long-suffering of amnesia. She quickly gets out of the car and runs up to him.

"Young Joon!" she called out. Back in high school, she was known to be the loud girl, even though her appearance back then looked poised and gentle, up until now, she is still the same.

Oh Young Joon, how I miss hugging you, cuddling each other on our favorite couch, I missed everything of you, of us. thought now Hee Joo, tears began to stream down her cheeks of happiness.

At the same time when he was called out, his eyes widen in surprise. In his mind, he thought of how was she doing for the past few months, had she been happier than the last time he remembered, and what took her this long to finally reach out to him.

But those thoughts were thrown as he reminded of his current relationship status. On top of that, he didn't know that she's no longer amnesiac. But that matter will soon might shock him, if she decides to tell him that.

"Hee- I mean, Young Ji? What are you doing here?" curiously he asked, holding the mails beside him.

"Où que tu sois, je suis avec toi (Wherever you are, I am with you). Recognize me?" she asked as she flashes a warm smile, wiping off the tears from her cheeks.

That phrase... Me and Hee Joo would always remind each other whenever we'd have to commute, thought Young Joon, speechless of her approach.

Still feeling unsure, he has yet to respond to her. What does he gonna say? He couldn't possibly be forward about her being her old self, or so he thought. But, since she uttered that phrase they used to say to each other when they had to be away from home, why not risk asking her about herself?
