A week.

A week was what it takes for Jeon Jungkook to create another special memory with you.

Adorned with the dark strap attached to his beloved, yet expensive camera he turned the lens onto you, who is his muse. And you can’t quite find the exact reason as to why he chose you as his subject of his mysterious video project. He never gave you any information.

Perhaps you’ll find it soon enough, when he finds the time to show you a glimpse of what he’s working on. But for now, he and the contents of his camera only heightens your curiosity every day.

All you could ever do every time he points the large lens on you is to either smile or block him with your hands on his equipment whenever you find it too much. From what Jungkook would say, you are just “too shy in front of his camera”. You’re clueless as to why most of his focus was your face, when you are sure that there are far more interesting subjects that might accentuate the whole objective of his endless recording.

Albeit knowing that he’s not good with expressing his feelings well through words, his actions rather proved it to be untrue as you sensed him coming close to you. Gently holding your hand and feeling his warmth engulfed you from behind, he cooed at your effort to finish wiping the table clean, “It’s enough, honey, let’s go to bed.”

With his soft lips ghosting over the expanse of your skin on your shoulder, you affectionately leaned your head back to his shoulder. This small moment with him is forever ingrained in your memory, not noticing the blinking red light of his camera somewhere in the room.

The past few days were not as touchy until tonight, continually feeling him and his fingertips grazing on your forearm as you lose your hold on the rag used for the table. Jungkook urged you towards the dark hallway of your apartment, “Do you want to sleep already?” You asked him, eyes fixating on the digital clock by his desk once you both reached the bedroom. It was already 22:10 PM.

He only hummed in reply, tiredness evident from his tone as he closed the door with his foot. Planting the camera that he brought next to the laptop on his table, he found you near the window. Under the dimmed moonlight, he can still see your beauty; your twinkling eyes that seems to soften whenever you looked at him, your smile that constantly lift him up in times of despair, and your touch that sends warmth through his veins endlessly. They’re still the same.

Your love is still the same no matter how many days, weeks pass by.

Winter snow has yet to come, but the impending coldness never ceased as a shiver made its way through your spine. And he has seen you and felt it too, “The heater won’t be fixed ‘til tomorrow, love.”

The specific term of endearment made you shiver again but only in delight.

Yours and his queen-sized bed was filled with multitude of blankets, and you can’t quite help but to dug inside while he only stares at your child-like actions tonight. Like a kid who cannot wait for Christmas. Only time will tell when he would start to imagine a festive season with you and maybe . . . two to three children that either looks like him or yo—.

“What are you thinking, Jungkook?” You withdrew him from his thoughts. He hasn’t joined you yet. “Come in! I need my personal heater.”

He chuckled as dived in, crawling towards you under the layers of duvet. You weren’t kidding when he felt your icy skin against him. “Am I hot enough to be called like that?” He teased, engulfing you into his embrace.

With your back against his chest, you sensed the breath of his against the crook of your neck. Surprisingly, his arms were much tighter than yesterday, or than any nights before. Nonetheless, he still makes you safe and comfortable in his hug. Loved.

It still feels as if you keep falling in love with him every day. It’s like meeting him for the first time again, and again, and falling head over heels over the boy—the man you imagined to spend the rest of your lifetime with.

And that thought was loud enough for him to ask you a question, diminishing the quietness of the dark bedroom.

“If I were to propose to you somewhere next week, will you accept?”

Your heart thudded against your chest.

“—Will you marry me?” Jungkook added, just like how people say it in romance movies. You were breathless. Your mouth quite ajar as you turned your head to see him, his doe eyes lingering at yours beneath the dimmed light from outside the window.

“I do—I mean yes.” You smiled at him once you faced him, while he only chuckled and pulled you much closer to him, with his thumb caressing ever-so-softly the skin of your hips, peeking under the shirt of his that you were wearing.

“Already preparing for our wedding, I see,” He grinned, “But I haven’t gotten you a ring yet.”

You asked, “Then when?”

“I’m waiting for the Christmas sale tomorrow, you know. And I’m quite broke to afford the ring you want as of this time and date.” It was a slip of his tongue; a mistake on his part to expose something you currently do not know or cannot remember.

Your brows only furrowed in curiosity, “I don’t recall about going into a jewelry shop before, or ever seeing a ring.”

In a poor attempt to change the topic, or ending it, he yawned loudly in reply, “It’s been months since we last visited it, why don’t I tell you the details tomorrow morning? It’s quite a long story.”

With you blinking at his drooping eyes, you only let him get the rest he needed. He was at work for nearly 10 hours today. Leaving you alone with yours and his dog, Gureum, to accompany you until he comes back. He must’ve feel tired to the bones.

“I’ll see you in the morning, love.” He mumbled after resting his head much closer to you, feeling his lips move against your forehead while you breathe in the familiar and comforting scent of his that helped you to rest. Not long and you followed him into sleep, your breathing turned calm. On the other hand, he was keeping himself awake while his eyes were closed, only determined to finish the bits of his video creation before the morning comes. Before you wake up.

He carefully left the side of his bed, leaving you still in deep sleep as he hurriedly turned his laptop open from sleeping mode once he sat in front of his desk. Without producing so much noise, he lifted the chair a bit off the wooden floor and adjusted it near his working space.

You were left clueless at his sneaky way to record the audio of yours and his conversation back in bed. With his phone lying next to you on the nightstand, Jungkook reached for it and stopped the recording before plugging it into his laptop. Into that night, he only spent the rest of his time into completing his compilations of you into one project. Along with a cup of coffee that he rarely needs or drinks, but he’ll make tonight an exception.

And he hoped that your love is still the same. Even if he has done the same procedure (the video making), and asked the same question to you for the past few weeks.

The curtains were left drawn open yesterday and the morning sun crept into the room and hits your eyelids, rendering you awake. The cold chill of the air to your face guaranteed that you were, indeed, conscious—

And weirded out. Why is it so cold in July?

It was the first thing you questioned to yourself, finding yourself covered with the huge amount of blankets only. Jungkook was nowhere to be found beside you, leaving you oddly questioning how he was able to wake up before you. Usually, it’s always you who turns off his alarm every morning.

Has the climate changed so much?

More questions flew in and out of your mind right now, you were sure that the season must be summer. Or the fact that you were assured that it’s the month July. You blindly reached on the bedside table in hopes to find your own phone to check the date, but you only found his laptop open. A video player and a digital post-it appeared on the screen when you accidentally swiped your fingertips on the touchpad.

‘Watch this before finding me –JK’

Feeling lost at the moment, you only obliged to what he had told you through the note before pressing the play button.

Jungkook’s face was the first thing you saw on-screen. His eyes looking past the camera for a few seconds before finally setting his gaze toward the lens, indirectly to you. “Love, you’re probably wondering why the weather’s like this or why you are even watching this.

You may think that it’s still July of 2017 when, in fact, we’re nearly in the end of 2018—“ You quickly hover the cursor on the date at the bottom right corner of the screen, seeing that he was right in the video. “—Please don’t panic at all, love.” He never fails to address you in an endearing way, making your heart flutter.

“Through this video, I’m going to help you recall the past few days or the important things to remember.” You did not miss his handsome smile through the video, as if he’s been wanting to say something that’s probably on the tip of his tongue already.

“First and foremost, I would like to explain to you why you’re experiencing short-term memory loss. Or what Doctor Kim would term the phenomenon you’re having as Goldfield’s syndrome. It is where you’re unable to create new memories every week since you woke up after July 10, 2017 from an unfortunate accident.” He paused from the video. Meanwhile you were astounded that the date he mentioned was the only day you could ever recall, and you can’t remember anything beyond the date or the accident itself.

No memories from the rest of the year, until today. And you’ve felt nothing but hurt when you imagined yourself in his shoes; how he managed to stay in love with you throughout the months. Tears brimmed your eyes as you kept on listening to him through the video he has prepared for you.

“Jungkook love?” His ears perked up at your voice from a distance, eyes finding its way to yours as you stood on the doorway of the bedroom. There you were again, glowing under the morning sun with the same eyes and the same smile adorning your features. And he swore he’ll never miss a chance of seeing you like this.

He smiled, “Yes _______?”

You began walking closer towards him, sitting upon the couch with cups of hot chocolate on the coffee table. As if he’s been waiting for you. Soon enough you found yourself hugging him, with your head resting upon his sturdy shoulder.

And you saying, “I still do want to marry you.”

He can assure that his smile this morning was as bright as the sun outside, but your smile towards him was much brighter that he still feels the same flutter of his stomach when he first met you. Jungkook was sure of marrying you, even if he has to make the effort of doing multiple videos to relive your memories with him and the people you care about.

“I love you.” He mumbled close to your lips, not even giving you a chance to return the same statement when he kissed you.
