Memory

Chapter 19

Young Joon sits before his work desk, his chin rests on the back of his hands, deep in thought.

He's thinking about what should he tell Hee Joo, or Young Ji(truthfully confused), about his engagement with Mi Jung, and how would she react after knowing the matter.

It was unexpected for Young Joon. It felt like all these things happened so fast that he couldn't seem to keep up.

Especially the woman who suddenly reappeared after months of lost contact, it really made him taken aback, and at the same time, he doesn't even know what to express his wondered questions inside his head that's been spinning over the past few hours after meeting Young Ji. Or Hee Joo.

He's confused.

"What am I gonna tell her, then?" He muttered to himself and heaves a sigh. Then he shifts his position of his hands.

"But I'm not so sure whether she's truly recovered or not. If she hasn't, there's no point in telling her because she would say this is none of her business." he ponders on the big 'if'.

"But if she had, wouldn't this tear her heart?" he added, getting more clueless.

Suddenly, his thought was interrupted by a knock on the door, and he almost jumps from his chair.

He is easily jumpy kind of a person after all.

"Come in!" He called out and he composes himself and sorts the stuff on his desk.

"Hey! Congrats on your engagement with Mi Jung, my brother! I knew you'd like her." Daniel shouted in excitement as he approaches Young Joon.

"Huh, it's just you. You scared me." Young Joon replied as he comforts himself in relief. Daniel noticed his friend acted in trouble, he quiets down his happy tone.

"Something on your mind, dude? You don't look so happy." He queried in concern as he starts to pat Young Joon's back lightly.

For a moment, Young Joon is silent. He looks flustered as he rubs his temples, and curses under his breath.

"Here's the thing. Just recently, Young Ji appeared all of a sudden and told me that she had restored her memory." Young Joon explained in detail.

"So? Is that a problem for now?" Daniel wondered in confusion, not understanding why she seemed to be the dilemma his best friend is facing.

To his confusion, Young Joon heaves a sigh.

"You don't get it. When I said she is amnesia free, I meant she is Hee Joo, my then-fiancé." Young Joon responded, which Daniel finally caught up to his explanation.

The men go silent as they are figuring out a solution to the problem, considering that Young Joon and Mi Jung are about to be declared as husband and wife soon.

Finally, Daniel breaks the silence.

"I think you should just tell her," Daniel spoke bluntly, there's no tone of hesitation in his words.

Young Joon was shocked by his best friend's suggestion. He didn't even want to tell her, regardless of who she is now.

"Okay, before I take your suggestion, I have to tell you that I'm still unsure of whether she really is back to normal, or not." He spoke out.

To his words, Daniel went silent. He is unable to think further after listening to Young Joon's uncertainty.

After that, he finally lights up.

"Just tell her then," Daniel answered with confidence.

"Dude, do you not listen to what I told you? I still don't confirm if she is her old self or not."
