The truth

Do you remember?

Daehyun stopped for a moment, giving himself a moment to calm down. Telling Jae the truth will hurt her greatly, and he couldn't bear to see her shed more tears. He has never seen her cry so much, and he had a feeling that she wouldn't stop after he told her this. But he'd be stubborn to not tell her after all. Jae waited, lounging back in the comfortable leather seat of his car, resting her head against the head rest. Daehyun took a deep breath before speaking again.

"4 years ago, there was a concert here in Seoul. Of course, you were going, and your parents were going to drop you off. But..." He stopped and glanced at Jae for a moment, who was watching him intently. His throat felt dry, and his heart beat accelerated with sadness and fear.

"...And a drunk driver... hit the car... It was unexpected, and it was a huge truck too... Your parents had died instantly, and you made it out alive, but you had slipped into a coma... Your other relatives don't live anywhere near Seoul..." He stopped again, nearly cringing when he saw her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

"No... you have to be lying..." She said, and Daehyun shook his head, swallowing the lump that had formed in his throat.

"I'm not lying..." He said, and reached for her hand, but she backed away a bit. She kept shaking her head at him, blinking back the tears.

"No, you have to be lying. You could easily lie, because I have no evidence in my mind to tell me if it was true or not." She said, and Daehyun shook his head and reached for her again, but she backed away again.

"Stop lying Daehyun!" She shouted, and she reached for the handle and stepped out the car. She barely took 2 steps away before Daehyun grabbed her wrist, halting her. He spun her around and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly against him. Jae fell limp in his embrace. She didn't try to fight him; she felt weak and helpless. She had a headache, and all of this news was too much to take in all at once.

"Jae, don't leave... Please, hear me out." Daehyun pleaded, burying his face in her neck. She smelled like vanilla and roses, and that scent made him go absolutely crazy. Jae sighed and pulled away from Daehyun, and he thought that she was going to run again. But then she nodded and him, and he sadly smiled and helped inside the car again. He got in and held her hands, and she didn't pull them away this time.

"I realized that you weren't at the concert, and that's when I knew that something had happened. You're a hardcore B.A.P fan, and you wouldn't have missed this concert at all. After it was over, I was driving back to your house when I noticed that the road was blocked. A truck was lying on the side of the road, the front damaged pretty badly, and I saw a black car that was flipped upside down, completely wrecked. I realized that it was your parents' car, and I immediately broke down and thought that I had lost you. They pulled you and your parents out of the wreckage, and they said that your parents had already died, but you still had a pulse. You hadn't woken up since that day." I explained, and Jae was silent. She was trying to register those words in her head.

My parents are dead, and I was the only one to make it out alive.

Jae couldn't find anything to say. She was both shocked and utterly depressed, and she felt like she was going to be sick.

"Why was I the only one to make it out?... Why couldn't my parents also live?...Why hadn't I died with them?..." Jae whispered to herself, and unfortunately, Daehyun heard her. He wished that things didn't have to be so complicated in life.

"I'm sorry Jae..." He brought her hands to his lips and gave her palm a small kiss. She blushed and looked down at her lap, sighing.

"Thank you for explaining..." She said, and Daehyun gave her palm another kiss.

"Can you explain... um, about us?"

"We met when we were about 10 years old. You used to always sit by yourself at lunch, and I noticed that, so one day I went up to your table and sat down with you, and right there, we instantly became friends. Even though we were young, I couldn't help but develop a crush on you, and 5 years later, I gathered the courage to ask you out. We've been together since then. Even while you were in the coma, I've never stopped loving you, or considered looking at other girls the way I look at you now." Daehyun said, reaching for a red rose from her bouquet and tucking it behind her ear. Jae felt her ears and cheeks heat up, and she couldn't look away from him. Daehyun wanted to kiss those tears away, but he couldn't. He couldn't do anything that might push Jae away from him forever. 

Jae didn't know what else to say about that. "Where are you taking me?" She asked.

"We're going back to the dorm. The other members want to see you. Is that all right with you?" Jae silently nodded, and Daehyun gave her a weak smile before starting up the car and driving away from the hospital. Jae couldn't believe that she had lost her parents, and that she was in a relationship with B.A.P's Jung Daehyun. The problem was, she didn't know if she felt what he claims to feel for her. She really couldn't feel anything but depression and emptiness, and she really couldn't lead Daehyun on if she wasn't sure of her own feelings. That would be selfish and rude. But she didn't want to break the man's heart either.

But staying in a relationship when you're not even sure of your own feelings is just as bad as heartbreak.

They had arrived at the dorm shortly, and Jae suddenly felt nervous. Of course she remembered her obsession for B.A.P, but she couldn't recall ever meeting them. They entered the dorm, finding Yongguk and Himchan watching war movies, Youngjae glued to the computer, and Jongup and Zelo jumping around on the couches like it was a wild party. Jae couldn't help but giggle, and they all froze when they heard her. They stared at her like she was an alien, and Daehyun rubbed her back soothly when he felt her tense up again. 

"Um... Hello B.A.P. Sorry to intrude." She bowed her head and gave them a small smile, and they instantly jumped up and surrounded her and Daehyun.

"Is Jae really awake, or am I starting to malfunction?" Zelo asked, and Daehyun grinned.

"Nope, she's awake..." He said, and they all gasped and wrapped their arms around her, and pretty soon, she would start suffocating.

"The problem is... she can't remember anything." Daehyun said, frowning, and they all stared at him.

"How is that possible?" Himchan said, and Daehyun sighed.

"Is it permanent?" Jongup asked, and Daehyun shook his head.

"No... She didn't suffer any serious damage to her brain, and we don't even know if she'll be able to remember everything."

"So what's going to happen between you two?" Youngjae whispered to Daehyun, and Daehyun sighed again.

"I don't know... She's forgotten all about me." He whispered, feeling his head throb with frustration and sadness. Youngjae patted his back, giving his best friend a smile. The group ordered 3 boxes of pizza, and they ate and chatted together. At the same time, they tried telling Jae about some memories that they had shared together, hoping that she might remember something. Jae tried very hard to remember, but in the end, she gave herself a headache, and she exhaled in frustration and finished her 3rd slice of pizza slowly. Daehyun decided to let Jae rest for a while. He led her to his room, and she felt nervous again.

"Daehyun, I don't-"

"Please rest." He insisted, and when she didn't move, he had no choice but to pick her up bridal style and set her down on his bed. She blushed again. He sat down by her side and rubbed her back, which helped Jae relax alot. She felt her eyelids becoming heavy, and soon, she  drifted off into darkness.

Daehyun noticed that she had fallen asleep already, and he smiled and leaned down and kissed her forehead. He was so glad that Jae was back in his life, even if she couldn't remember anything. A stray tear escaped his eyes, and he took a deep breath and brushed some hair out of her face.

Jae I Iwa, my love, I am so glad that you are back.
