'Tur--- tururur---'
'If the connection is not made, you will be connected to voicemail after a beep and the call will be charged.....'

"ha...."
It was already the dozenth call Taehyung had been making, but he wasn't answering.
Since I had been relying on Taehyung and seeing him every single day since I lost my memory, I started to feel anxious about him not being around, and I started to worry that something had happened to him.
The clock was already past 10 o'clock, and my heart was turning from anxiety to despair.
I wonder if you hate me now
I did so many good things for him, but all he got in return was my nodding and hesitation.
No matter how hard I try, my memories don't seem to come back.
So maybe you've decided to let me go
The hopeful thoughts turned into an unknown fear as they reached the limit of waiting.
I suddenly started to get scared
'Ding dong~!!'
At that moment, the doorbell rang, and I thought it wasn't Taehyung who was going to come in and ring the doorbell.
'Clang!'
I carefully opened the door and saw Taehyung, drunk and with his shirt unbuttoned, and his subordinate, showing that he had come all this way.

"Phew...hiccup...oh my gosh...hic..."
김여주
"...taehyoung kim!!.."

"Ah...hello...Manager Kim is really drunk, but I don't know where you are...but you keep making a fuss about coming this way..."
김여주
"Ah...yes...thank you. It must have been hard..."
김태형
"Okay!!!!! I'm going to drink more....hehehe..hehe"
김여주
"Haa...Taehyung, you're drunk. Why are you drinking more? Come in now!"
The relief that he hadn't left me was fleeting, but then I started to get annoyed, wondering what on earth had been so busy and sad that I almost got drunk, and why he hadn't left me a single phone call, or even a single text message, for so long.
김여주
"...Thank you for taking me here. You must be very tired, so go quickly haha"
I had to quickly get Taehyung, who was already quite drunk, to bed, so I rushed to the fridge, rummaged through everything, and grabbed whatever I could find to give him a drink before closing the door.
김여주
"Ugh... oh my it's so heavy... Kim Taehyung!!! Walk properly!!!"
김태형
"Ugh....Hey lady....Are you looking at me and screaming...!? Hehehe"
김여주
"Oh, yeah, yeah, I missed you so much I thought I was going to die, so let's go in quickly okay!?"
Taehyung kept leaning his whole body against me, mumbling with his tongue twisted as if the injection was a form of coquetry.
김여주
"Ugh...why do you keep leaning on me!!!!"
김태형
"Huh... what am I doing wrong...? Am I the one who got hurt...!?!?"
김태형
"....Phew...Hip..."
Taehyung stumbled even more and soon buried his face in my shoulder.
김태형
"Sob...sob.....sob....."
Soon, I started crying because I was so tired.
김여주
"Wh,what the...you...are you...crying!?...Hey...why are you crying!!!"
Taehyung sobbed, his shoulders shaking. The clothes on my shoulder where he buried his face got wet, and I, not knowing what to do, hugged him tightly with both arms. The small sobs that didn't make a loud noise kept scratching my heart.
김태형
"Ugh....ugh....you...am I going to be cold..??..I'm going to be cold..??"
김여주
"No, Taehyung, calm down..Huh!? I'm telling you why I hate you!! Why on earth are you doing this..."
김태형
"Phew... ugh... fuck... you like that kid better, that's what it is!!!!!!!"
김여주
"What...? What are you saying..."
김태형
"I fucking hate it all!!!!!!!! That kid hanging around you every day... And watching you every day!!!!! I fucking hate it all!!!!!!"
김여주
"..Hey Kim Taehyung. What are you talking about!!!!!!!"
In fact, even if Taehyung didn't confirm it like this, I was the kind of person who could catch a glance. Every night, on the way home in the alley, I could feel the gazes from him, and even I, a fool who had no memory, could tell that the gazes were from him, that he hated Taehyung so much.
I was so surprised that I laid down Taehyung, who was still hanging on to me, and lifted the curtains by the window to look outside.
I had doubts, but as expected, I felt eyes looking my way, and even though it was dark, I was certain.
김여주
".....!!!!!"
박지민
"....."
Soon, our eyes met and he smiled faintly. But for some reason, sadness was creeping into his expression, and his unshed tears were slowly flowing from my eyes down my cheeks.
When he saw my tears, his expression hardened for a moment, then he continued to look at me, raised his finger, and drew a smile from one corner of his drooping mouth to the other.
Suddenly... that thought occurred to me
Maybe the reason he doesn't seem unfamiliar is because he's not new to me...
I wonder if the reason he approaches me with such warmth, even from so far away, is because I, who has lost my memory, am not the first to him.
