Taesan was alone.
practice room,
I was sitting in front of a mirror with the lights off.
Looking into your own eyes
I just repeated one sentence in my head.
“I remembered.”
That sentence quietly lingered within him.
The emotions that came to mind like fragments
It started to connect into one flow.
And that flow eventually reached one person.
Hayoon.
He took out his cell phone.
In the call records
I clicked on the name "Ha Yoon",
Cancelled.
My memories came back, but
The emotions of that day also came back.
The days that made him cry,
The reason why I made her leave,
and
The last words she said.
“It’s okay if you don’t remember.”
At that time, Hayoon was moving with a completely different mind.
I hesitated all day.
I changed my mind about a hundred times,
I finally decided to tell you today.
My sincerity so far.
The reason why he stayed by Taesan's side even though he knew he had lost his memory.
I approached again,
My heart went out to you again,
That it's not a coincidence.
I'll tell you everything.
dinner.
Hayoon arrived first.
cafe.
Small seat.
The place where we first met each other.
Taesan was a little late.
But Hayoon didn't complain.
Everything seemed to be going well today.
"Taesan-ah."
As soon as he sat down,
Hayoon spoke carefully.
“I came here today to talk.”
His eyes wavered,
Hayoon didn't know.
He already remembered everything.
“I knew it all from the beginning but I didn’t say anything,
“I’m so sorry.”
“Even though I know you don’t remember
You were always by my side,
“It was selfish.”
“But to that extent,
I really do—”
"know."
Taesan said.
It was a short, low voice.
"……huh?"
“I remember everything now.”
Hayoon stopped in place.
I even forgot to breathe.
“You remember… everything?”
“Since when?”
“It’s been a few days.”
He nodded.
“It wasn’t a dream.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything?”
“…the moment I remembered,
“I was scared.”
Hayoon's eyes fell.
I couldn't say it.
I know that feeling all too well.
“It was scary…
Are you afraid I'll leave you again?
Taesan did not answer.
"or not,
Even if my memory returns
Do you think I still love you?
"……"
“That’s even scarier.”
Hayoon's words
It was quiet but precise.
He took a deep breath.
“Even if I erase my memories
I couldn't forget you,
Even if my memory returns
“I couldn’t blame you.”
"So now,
I don't know what I should do."
That means
It was more cruel than saying I love you.
Hayoon bit her lip.
I tried to hide my expression,
Tears were the first to react.
"Then... me,
What should I do?
Taesan couldn't answer.
This time too,
Emotions spoke louder than words.
"It's okay if you remember.
me…
I can still say that."
"you,
It's okay if you don't remember."
“…But now,
“That hurts more.”
