Author’s Note: Firstly, Merry Christmas!! and here's a fic, I've been wanting to write, I finally got some time to write and completed it, this is definitely not the ideal fic to post on Christmas TT but here it is, and ofc it's mafia fic. Hope you like this~

Happy reading ~

“I’ll be back tomorrow, I love you” and she kissed him. He looked happy and so was she, “I’ll wait for you, too bad I don’t have a night shift tonight and you’re leaving. Bed would be cold without you” Seungcheol was caging her and he didn’t want her to leave. There was a hidden sadness in her face, but she looked at him with eyes full of love. “I’ll be back tomorrow Cheol, I promise I’ll be back tomorrow morning before you leave for work” and she smiled at him.

“text me or call me once you reach, okay?” he was always protective of her, but why wouldn’t he be, after all she was his wife. “I will now get some sleep” She kissed him and left.

She was driving her car and she was thinking about Seungcheol, she looked at the time, it was 08:08 pm exactly, Seungcheol’s birthday date. There was a faint smile on her face but she focused on the road.

“Would you like an upgradation from my girlfriend to my wife?” the way Seungcheol was looking at her while giving the bouquet, no words could describe how he was feeling. She was overwhelmed, but she wanted to be herself and be with him. Seungcheol was her home, her home when there was no one for her.

The moment Seungcheol knelt down, and showed her the ring, “I want you to be my wife, I want to spend my whole life with you, will you marry me?” marriage for Sihyun was something she always dreamed of but marrying the person she loves the most and actually wants to spend her whole life was something she just dreamt of or maybe something like a fever dream but happening infront of her, she was unable to say a single word, tears were threatening to fall, “Ye-Yes” it was her broken voice, Seungcheol heard her voice, and smiled at her, once he took her hand and made her wear the ring, he got up and cupped her face. “I love you so much Sihyun, I love you so much, I can’t live without you”

“I love you too Seungcheol” and he kissed her softly; he would always kiss her softly, for him, she is someone who deserves all the happiness and everything and of course him.

He suddenly lifted her up and twirled her around, “I am so happy Sihyun” he could only hear her laughs and for her, he was her whole world.

She parked the car, and took out her bag and went towards the apartment. Once she was inside, she went towards the lift and pressed the top floor button, she looked at her watch, and in a fraction of a second she was at the top floor.

She went towards the door and pressed the doorbell. “You’re here” Sihyun smiled at Hanuel, “Come inside”

Sihyun stepped inside, and took off her heels then went straight towards the living room. “Want to eat something?” Sihyun shook her head, she was in a conflict in her mind, and in deep thoughts about Seungcheol, “No, I already had dinner with Seungcheol”

“I see, how is he doing?”

“He is good.” Haneul sat facing her, “Is something bothering you?”

Sihyun wasn’t a big opener about her problems, the only person she trusted a lot was Seungcheol, beside that sharing her problems with anyone else felt like a burden to her at times but then she could always use the company of Hanuel and Seungmin. “I don’t know” and she sighed, Hanuel looked at her, Sihyun was always lost in deep thoughts nowadays, it’s been months but she wasn’t opening up, maybe Seungmin knew about it.

“Sihyun if you don’t say what’s the matt-”

“I think Seungcheol was doubting me somewhere but why would he?”

“He’s doubting you?” Sihyun nodded, “Did he drop any hints?” Sihyun nodded. “And these things are making me doubt him, I wonder what is he doing and what not, I never felt like this all these eight years, everything was going smoothly but why now? when everything is going so smoothly. Seungcheol was that person in my life, who taught me how to trust but now? if one single thing happens and falls apart, it’s all over.”

“Don’t worry too much, he won’t know and you’ve a reason Sihyun. You’re not hurting him or something, it’s you. You love him, you can never wish for his downfall.”

“But Hanuel if what I am thinking is true then why would he lie to me, I need to know him, his intentions, I can’t take any betrayal after all these years I spent with him”

“You’re overthinking Sihyun, Seungcheol is not that kind of guy, who would lie to you for so long.”

“But Seungmin? He can never be wrong, and he always tells me the things he found out, if what me and Seungmin are thinking are true then I would be making myself a fool infront of my whole team and family.”

“Don’t overthink too much, Sihyun. Be the way you are.” Sihyun sighed and looked at the time, today it took her almost two hours to come here. “I need to change and then we will leave. Inform Seungmin to come here, and I will go in his car, I can’t risk taking my car this time not after Seungcheol’s car passed through the same place and we were almost about to cross eachother’s path that night”

“Okay” saying that Sihyun took her bag and went to Hanuel’s bedroom to change her clothes.

Once she was inside, she started changing her clothes, a black dress, a black leather jacket, black boots, and a small pendent. She did her makeup lightly and looked at the mirror. “Sihyun, what are you doing?” “This is all for the people who left you alone”

The look was giving her an intimidating vibe; which was enough to let people know this is how a leader should behave. Once she was done with her hair, tying it up in a low ponytail, she came out of the room only to see Seungmin sitting on the couch.

“Are you ready for tonight?” Seungmin asked and she nodded, “Always have to be ready. Is everyone ready?” he nodded, “Everything’s ready and everyone is on their way. And everything is inside my car.”

“Perfect. We need to get this either way.”

“Don’t worry, everything will go your way, and I don’t think they will find us today as well, we’ve been eluding them till now without any problem and today’s a big day for us.”

“Seungmin, we can’t overlook the fact that Seungcheol’s car passed through the same place that night, and last time, it was barely three minutes difference and I cannot risk it again.”

“But you said he is staying home, right?” Seungmin looked serious, Seungcheol was one reason everyone was stressed, “Yes”

“So, don’t worry Sihyun, nothing will go wrong and it’s our day today.” Sihyun was stressed but she couldn’t show it infront of Haneul. She smiled at her, “Yes, let’s get going. We need to reach by midnight and since it will take time, let’s go now.”

They were ready and went down to the basement, Sihyun got inside Seungmin’s car and Hanuel took hers. “Can I drive Seungmin?”

“Do you want to blow off some steam tonight?” Sihyun smiled, Seungmin being her right-handed man, always knew, how driving was her way to release stress and it’s rare for them to go hit the racing circuit after she got married, most of the time spending time with Seungcheol would take away her stress or at times it would be Seungcheol who would make love and Sihyun could never deny him because he always gave her the best cuddles after that and the sleep would be the best one.

“Once we are done with the deal, I’ll let you drive” and Seungmin started the car, “since you’re going back to your husband’s arms tomorrow morning. I know you, can’t even stay away from him Sihyun; you love him so much and it shows it on your face.”

“But sometimes I feel this is wrong, carrying out the whole gang and then going back to his arms as if nothing happened. Sometimes I feel like I will pay the price for being the leader and being happy.”

“You’re doing this for your people Sihyun, never blame yourself and you have every right to be happy. You chose Seungcheol because you love him but you didn’t abandon us so doesn’t matter. You are happy.”

“You know, yesterday we went to meet Jeonghan and his wife, and when I saw Seungcheol holding their little angel in his arms, I realized how badly I want Seungcheol to be the father of our child.” Seungmin stopped the car in the traffic and looked at Sihyun, Sihyun looked like she was somewhere in her own world. The love for Seungcheol was something that always made her weak whenever it came to work, her work was dangerous, and her life was dangerous but living with Seungcheol she was always afraid, of leaving him and what’s coming for her next. She can’t risk everything but she is risking everything because of him after all.

They entered their house and Seungcheol locked the door, “Seungcheol” Sihyun’s voice was barely audible, she was about to go upstairs to their bedroom but she stopped but still didn’t face Seungcheol, she was hesitating, she never felt like this. Till date she always felt having kids is something she can never think about, being a mother and the thoughts of parenting always haunted her and specially after thinking how she saw her family getting killed infront of her eyes, when she was barely nine years. She was reminded of what is her work and whatever is she going to say had the power to flip her whole world upside down. Because one mistake from her side and it’s all over.

She felt Seungcheol’s steps approaching her, soon he wrapped his arms around her waist, “What happened my love?” Sihyun was deep in her thoughts, how would Seungcheol react and what if the past that happened with her repeats? Seungcheol knew she lost her family when she was nine years old but he doesn’t know why. Seungcheol knew her but at the same time he didn’t. “Sihyun” his voice was low, and he rested his head on her head, Sihyun turned around to look at him, “Cheol”

“Yes my love?” and that was it. ‘my love’

“A thought crossed my mind today when you were holding Jeonghan and Luna’s lil angel Mirae, I wondered how would you look holding a lil angel who looked like you, your eyes, your dimples, your smile” a smile spread on Sihyun’s face, “Even I want our little angel to look like you.” Sihyun’s eyes widened in the realization of what he had said, “What do you-” Before she could say anything, he kissed her. Seungcheol always wanted Sihyun’s approval in this matter, he always dreamt of holding their baby that’s why he waited till Sihyun said it. He had faith in Sihyun she would be a good mother and they would make nice parents.

“Looks like my baby is finally ready to take the next step” he looked at her and said, Sihyun was unable to say anything, “I was waiting for you to say” Sihyun realized how much Seungcheol respected her. “I love you so much” and she kissed him, and pulled herself back. Seungcheol held Sihyun shoulder and his other hand was holding her cheeks; he leaned closer and Sihyun could see what he was going to do next. He kissed her and her hands traveled from his shoulder to his neck, Seungcheol pulled her closer and she parted, “I love you too” and kissed her again. Seungcheol parted after they were out of breath and he picked her up in his arms “Let’s make you feel how much I love you” Sihyun smiled at him and buried her head in his embrace

“What did he say?” She looked at Seungmin, who was looking at her, “Even I want our little angel to look like you”

“Isn’t that good?” Seungmin’s voice was low, “You know what happened with my family and why, I am scared Seungmin, I am scared of what’s coming, and having a baby, I can, I want to with Seungcheol, I want to have our own small little family but the fear is still there. And I don’t want my baby anywhere near my work. I don’t want my baby to find out who I am which is impossible Seungmin and then there are chances of everyone getting targeted.” Sihyun sighed

“Don’t stress too much about it Sihyun” Sihyun smiled at Seungmin.

Soon, they reached and Seungmin parked the car. “Everything’s at the back seat” Sihyun nodded and went to check everything at the back seat. “Are the guns loaded?” Seungmin nodded, Sihyun took her gun and kept it with her. “Let’s try not to kill anyone tonight. I don’t want anyone interrupting our deal” Seungmin nodded and they saw Hanuel’s car parking. Hanuel came out of her car with her gun in her hand. Seungmin was holding a briefcase and they all went inside the warehouse.

“Everyone’s ready with everything?” the whole gang was there and they nodded, “Yes ma’am” There was the seat of Sihyun, she was walking gracefully with Seungmin, her right-handed man. Hanuel stepped back and stayed as the incharge of everyone. “Everyone’s safety should be the priority along with our deal, okay?”

“Yes ma’am”

“When are they coming Hanuel?” Sihyun took a seat and asked her, “They are almost here.”

“Good” Once they are in their work mood, there’s no friendship, it’s work relationship. That’s how Sihyun taught herself to handle the whole mafia gangs, she was the leader. Her identity was hidden, she was living a normal life without exposing her identity of mafia leader. She was the leader of Mafia and she handled everything with Seungmin.

“They’re here.” Hanuel said.

Sihyun crossed her legs and nodded, “Let the boss in and everyone stay outside. You too Hanuel.”

“But-” Hanuel was surprised because Sihyun never did this, “I said, OUT EVERYONE.”

“Okay ma’am” Seungmin was with Sihyun, “What’s wrong?”

“I want this deal to be just between us, no interruption Seungmin, I do not want anyone else inside and we can’t let our guards down, no matter what”

Once everyone was outside, it was just Sihyun and Seungmin; the other gang leader entered the warehouse, he was with his man. “Looks like you wanted only me tonight?” Sihyun wasn’t liking the way this man was talking to her, being the leader and a woman she knew, how she could be treated by other leaders but Seungmin was always there by her side, and never let these men get her. Last time a man talked down with Sihyun, Seungmin lost his clam but Sihyun killed him, that’s when there was almost a war because Sihyun killed an underboss.

“Did you forget how I killed him and do you want to be the next guy, who wants to get killed by my precious gun?” there was a smirk on her face.

The guy had his hands up, “Okay, I surrender, I am here for money and you’re here for your weapons, once the deal is done, it’s over”

“Good, come and take a seat.” Sihyun smiled. The man came and took a seat opposite to her, it was the leader of Kwon gang. One of the top gangs and also a ruthless one.

Once they showed each other, whatever they need, Sihyun checked the weapons and Seungmin showed the money. “Looks like this weapon deal is done” the guy had a smirk, and Sihyun smiled, “Yes” she took a pause and leaned towards him, “But always remember not to mess up with my people, I won’t hesitate to kill you and your members next time I see them killing any of my man or trying to hack our systems” Sihyun looked intensely at him, “Okay?”

“Well, you can’t order around like that Kim Sihyun” she had a smirk, “Of course I can, because all of my men are outside, and your people are already taken down. That’s what you pay for trying to hack our system and killing two of my men”

“Are you out of your mind?” she smiled at him, “I wish I was, but that’s how you handle double-faced people. Now get up and walk away, and remember not to mess up with me” he got up and at the same time, Sihyun and Seungmin heard Hanuel’s voice in their in-ear “Seungcheol and a team is almost here, get out of this place with Sihyun. RIGHT NOW.”

“Leave, they are here.” By the time, Sihyun’s voice was heard, everything turned upside down in a second, “Do not wait for me, leave. LEAVE HANUEL, TAKE EVERYONE AWAY I WANT EVERYONE TO BE SAFE.” Sihyun threw her in-ear and looked at Seungmin, “You take everything and leave first”

“No”

“I said, LEAVE.”

“I REFUSE KIM SIHYUN”

“THIS IS AN ORDER” By the time she could say one more word, she heard the door open and she pushed Seungmin, “If you ever cared about me, then leave” and that was it, Seungmin had no choice, and Sihyun didn’t know what was she going to do?

Surrender to Seungcheol? When she doesn’t even know why is he here?

To prove herself right that Seungcheol was lying to her and is an undercover agent?

That Seungcheol was the following her?

“Hands up” and then she heard her husband’s voice. And Seungmin couldn’t leave because of his loyalty, no matter how much Sihyun pushed him away. She could recognize his footsteps, and they were getting closer.

She saw him holding a gun and she was standing there face to face with him. Never in her nightmare, she was prepared for a day like this, standing face to face with Seungcheol and him pointing a gun towards her.

“What are you doing here? You shouldn’t have been here.” He screamed, the anger was visible on his face, he was pointing his gun toward her and in a second, everyone was pointing a gun towards her, “Lower your guns, not a single bullet should be fired and no one should hurt her or I will shoot you myself” his voice was stern, Sihyun rarely saw Seungcheol being pissed but today was something else, it was a blow-off for both of them. No one dared to speak a single word, “But sir-”

“STAND DOWN I SAID” Seungcheol’s voice almost made her flinch, but her expression stayed the same.

“So? Sihyun, how long have you been lying to me about everything?” he asked, his voice was almost unrecognizable to himself, she couldn’t answer and it was very evident that Seungcheol was pissed. She didn’t have any answer, “You also lied to me Seungcheol” and then she looked at him, directly in his eyes. No one had any answer, both were doing their own job, and falling in love was something that was never in their plan and how worse it could be that, the case Seungcheol was assigned and Sihyun was the mastermind and leader of everything. It was her job to protect her team and familia but it was his job to take her down, how could the universe be so cruel?

The pain and hurt were visible in his eyes, he wanted to prove himself wrong tonight, it’s been more than years since Seungcheol was assigned this thing, and he was an undercover agent. He was feeling cheated on his trust, he almost had a fight with his vice-team leader about Sihyun being the leader and he said he would prove them wrong tonight that’s why he lied to Sihyun about going out.

But here he is, standing face to face gun pointed towards his own wife, who was a ruthless gang leader. How could he do this to his own wife?

“You shouldn’t have been here SIHYUN” his screams weren’t helping him at all. There was just silence, no one spoke a single word.

“You shouldn’t have been here not after all this” Seungcheol’s mind wasn't working at all, looking at his wife as the person who was behind all this, she was the prime suspect but he was in denial and now that she is standing infront of him, he was more than shocked and angry.

“Seungcheol, remember I love you but for once in my life, I am going to choose my job” and she took out her loaded gun and pointed at him. Sihyun had no choice. “Let him leave and I will be the one here” Seungcheol, never said no to his wife, for him she was always the priority but he couldn’t even let his emotions take over him right now, he was on his duty. “If I let him go then what are you going to do Sihyun?” if her eyes could tell him how hurt she was when she heard her own name, she wasn’t used to this Seungcheol. “I am the one, you need.” She took a pause and looked at Seungmin, “Let him go.”

“Bring him” Another officer went to bring Seungmin, he was holding Seungmin. “Leave him” Seungcheol agreed and Seungmin had to walk away from the warehouse, Seungcheol knew what he was doing, he was trying to make Sihyun vulnerable and he had his team all over this place, once Seungmin stepped out of this warehouse, he is going to be caught by the officers and he would be taken away from this place.

“Now, put that gun down. You cannot leave this place” she shook her head, “I won’t and mind it, by the time you take me down, everyone would be gone, I saved my members already.” Sihyun’s eyes never looked away from Seungcheol’s eyes, there was a tension only they knew. “I gave you my heart already and there’s nothing left to give you anymore. My love, my heart and my whole life, it’s all yours. The day I realised I was in love, I knew what I was signing up for, the love the betrayal. I kept myself prepared for the day, maybe someone will ask me to surrender for being the leader but, never in my wildest nightmare I imagined you, that you would be here as the officer and telling me to put my gun down?”

“Why would you lie about yourself Seungcheol?” she was hurt, he knew she was hurt. It was his mission, he couldn’t even share this even after getting married, he wanted this mission to be over so that he could tell Sihyun and be happy. Seungcheol was feeling betrayed but on the other hand Sihyun was also feeling betrayed, both were on their duty and the crime of being in love and married to eachother was enough to tear them apart. “I love you Seungcheol and I can give up on my life for you but I can’t betray my family and knowing how they weren’t even my blood but someone I could call my family. And after knowing how much me and my people had to go through, I can’t step back. Do you want to know who made me like this?” Sihyun’s eyes were speaking, Sihyun never opened up totally with her past and Seungcheol was always waiting for her to say it without forcing her. “You and your organization” she had a tight smile “They didn’t take a single step when our family was killed. My own family died infront of my eyes, I never told you, how but my family was killed infront of my eyes when I was just nine years. And the people you’re working with, you call them justice?” she let out a smirk, remembering how she still gets the nightmare of her family getting killed infront of her, it was another reason why she afraid to be with Seungcheol. “It turned a blind eye and that was it.”

“I was alone until I found you.” all the memories of Seungcheol felt like a flashback to her.

“Seungcheol” she took a deep breath, she wanted to be calm and say everything that’s inside her but her heart was beating like crazy because she was nervous. “Your smile heals me. You make me happy and I admire you a lot. You helped me to find a home, a home I can always return back to. I want to give you all the love, more than you deserve. I call you, ‘My Seungcheol’ because you are everything to me. Love is not just a word I can use to describe you, you are a feeling, an emotion for me, you always give me a heart-warming feeling that no one else can ever give to me. You are my own Seungcheol. I will never keep a secret from you and will stay with you in all your happiness and sadness. I am ready to share my life with you and take one more step towards us. I love you too”

Once the exchange of rings was over, the priest then asked, “Do you Choi Seungcheol take Kim Sihyun, to be your lawfully wedded wife, to share your life openly, standing with her in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in hardship and in ease to cherish and love forever more?” her eyes were fixed on Seungcheol, and she heard “I Do” it felt like her whole world stopped for him. He smiled at her, his dimples. Another reason she never wanted to let go of him.

The priest turned to Sihyun, “Do you Kim Sihyun take Choi Seungcheol, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to share your life openly, standing with her in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, in hardship and in ease to cherish and love forever more?” She took a deep breath and replied, “I do”

“You may now kiss your Bride”

The kiss was one overwhelming one and it had so many emotions in them. She couldn’t believe she made this decision, this was the second decision she made for herself. She was happy, she could feel the happiness, just for today she wanted to be the girl she wanted to be, forgetting about her duties as a leader. She wanted to be just ‘Seungcheol’s Wife’

“Why would you do this Sihyun? Why? Was everything a lie?” Seungcheol couldn’t process anything, everything Sihyun told him yesterday about have a little one and being a happy family was coming back to him as a flashback.

“You’re my happiness and my home but seems like at the end of the day you would also leave me. You knew everything about me Seungcheol except one fact, I am the leader you’ve been looking for since years, even before we met, if only I knew this is how it was going to end then I wouldn’t have met you” by this time, Sihyun was tearing up, it reminded of all the best memories Seungcheol gave her. How her life was beautiful after meeting him, “I love you but I hate your organization and now that I know you’re the one who was handling my case, I can’t even hate you. It all fell down.”

“I always had a motto, and that was to ‘die with dignity��” and with that the grip around her gun got tighter, “Thankyou Seungcheol for all these amazing seven years, I love you” and she fired.

The moment the bullet was fired, Seungcheol moved from his place but his bullet hit her right there and against his will he realized he shot her.

“Sihyun” was the last thing she heard before falling into the floor.

And the very next day, it was Seungcheol who received the award standing infront of the whole crowd, he was holding the trophy. He gave his speech and only he knew how much it was hurting. Only he knew, how he saw his wife dying, the tears that were threatening to fall, didn’t deserve to fall. It was the pain of losing his wife, his support system, his love, and the person he trusted the most, but then what is even trust?

He was the one who shot his wife and here he is being awarded for that.

All the dreams died down the moment she took her last breath infront of him saying she still loved him even after this.

Park Seonghwa : Memory (Part 4/4)

Pairing : Park Seonghwa (Ateez) and named character (Yoon Si-yeol)

_____________

Sihyun : I knew this would happen someday. It's all going to get worse now, seonghwa.

Seonghwa was sitting limp against the hospital chair outside the room the doctors had taken siyeol into, his eyes once again blank. Seonghwa had no idea how to feel, scared? Maybe worried? Hurt? Whatever it was, he could only feel numb at the moment.

Sihyun : seonghwa, are you even listening?

Seonghwa : I want to meet her when she wakes up. Even if it's for the last time, I want to see her again. Alone.

Sihyun : are you sure you want that?

Seonghwa nodded, his hands clenched. He needed to face this, he had to stop running away from this. Sihyun nodded, letting out a sigh as he said

Sihyun : fine. But if I hear something that causes worry, I will let myself in.

Seonghwa looked up as the door to siyeol's room opened, doctors stepping out of it. Seonghwa stood up, walking up towards them as he asked

Seonghwa : she's fine…right?

Doctor : very. She's gotten her memories back, at last.

Seonghwa let out a shaky breath, looking away in part relief.

Sihyun : go in then, seonghwa. See my sister.

Seonghwa looked at sihyun as he gave him one last nod before stepping away with the doctors to talk about technical matters. Seonghwa let out a breath and opened the door to her room, stepping inside as his eyes landed on siyeol who was sitting up on her hospital bed while looking at the window. As soon as she heard the door opening her head turned, her widened eyes staring at seonghwa.

Siyeol : n-no.

Seonghwa : siyeol.

Siyeol : I don't want to see you.

Seonghwa stepped forward, trying not to break down at the look she was giving him.

Siyeol : why the hell are you here? You lied to me, you took advantage of me when I was at my lowest, seonghwa!

Seonghwa : I came here to apologize, for everything I've done.

Siyeol scoffed, looking away.

Seonghwa : I was being selfish. No matter what, I shouldn't have treated you the way I did before the accident happened. I should've given you the love you deserved, and repaid the things you did for me. But I didn't, I was terrible to you. And even after you lost your memories, I should've stayed away from you. It is all my fault, and I'm sorry for it.

Siyeol stared at seonghwa as he stepped forward, bringing his hands to the back of his neck before removing the necklace that hung around his neck. The necklace that siyeol had given him for their first anniversary, almost a decade ago. A necklace siyeol thought seonghwa had forgotten about.

Seonghwa placed it onto siyeol's hand with his trembling ones, looking at it as he said

Seonghwa : you said I was your curse, that you wanted me to go away. Now I will. The past few months, I stayed because I thought I should try to correct the countless mistakes that I had made in the past. But not anymore.

Seonghwa looked up at siyeol with teary eyes, giving her a small smile before saying

Seonghwa : whether you believe it or not, you were everything to me, yoon siyeol. There has never been a moment in my life that I haven't thought of you. I loved you, I love you, and I always will.

Seonghwa turned around and left before siyeol could say anything, tears streaming down his cheeks as he rushed out of the hospital.

_______________________

Siyeol : he's left me again, hyun-ah.

Sihyun looked up as siyeol stared at the food in front of her with unhappy eyes, the glow all gone now. Just as seonghwa was.

Sihyun : didn't you want him to leave, noona?

Siyeol : he didn’t even listen to what I had to say before leaving. Yes, I didn’t want to see him at that particular point of time but I didn’t say I never wanted to see him ever again, did I? he never listens.

Sihyun : so? Are you going to go after him?

Siyeol sighed, leaning back against her hospital bed before saying

Siyeol : he was a completely different person to me after my accident, sihyun-ah. What if…what if that's the real him?

Sihyun : and what if it isn't?

Siyeol : then I guess I'll just have to find out.

_______________________

2 days later :

Siyeol was just checking to see if she had left any of her items behind in her hospital room when a nurse stepped inside, bowing at siyeol.

Siyeol : yes?

??? : if you do not mind, can we talk for a few minutes?

Siyeol nodded, standing straight as she looked at the nurse.

??? : park seonghwa-shi, he's your boyfriend, right?

Siyeol blinked her eyes, not really knowing herself whether that was the label seonghwa had in her life.

??? : boyfriend or not, I understand you have complications between you. But I wanted you to know this, when…the day you were brought in to this same hospital the night of your accident, that man was in complete ruins. I cannot even begin to explain the effect your accident had on him for the first two weeks, miss. He was…I've never seen someone so broken in my living of 55 years.

Siyeol looked away, small tears in her eyes.

??? : do you know you saved him from death the moment you opened your eyes?

Siyeol looked up at the nurse with wide eyes, shocked. The nurse sighed as she said

??? : he was about to jump off the roof, thinking that maybe if he died you'd come back to life.

Tears streamed down siyeol's eyes, his necklace held tight in her hands as she felt it's edge press onto her palm painfully.

??? : he loves you, miss. And I hope you could, if anything, tell him that his life is worth more than what he thinks it is.

The nurse smiled as she stepped forward, patting siyeol's shoulder before saying

??? : you are lucky to have someone like him, just as he is lucky to have you.

________________________

3 weeks later :

Siyeol drove her car faster towards the place she knew seonghwa would've gone to, desperate to find him. It had been 3 weeks since she got discharged from the hospital, 3 weeks since she'd been trying to find seonghwa. She had gone to his house, his other house, his parent's house, his old friend's house, and seonghwa had been nowhere. Then she went around hotels, trying to see whether he was there. He wasn't. and then siyeol had finally gone to the airport, to ask whether anyone by the name of Park Seonghwa had booked a flight. And sure enough, he had. To Busan.

And so siyeol was now going to an estate she knew that seonghwa owned here, one that had been passed down to him by his father. Seonghwa had only told her about this place briefly, she had never actually gone there.

But she knew where it was located, and that was more than enough.

Siyeol soon parked her car next to his estate, stepping out of it as she looked around the huge manor that was a few feets away from her, a huge garden surrounding it. This place was beautiful, why had seonghwa never brought her here?

Siyeol stepped into the estate since the gate was already open, walking towards the huge main door before finally ringing the bell. Siyeol waited for at least 5 minutes before the door finally opened, revealing a…was this really seonghwa?

His hair seemed to have grown a lot within the past month, his eyes swollen and his lips chapped. He looked like a mess. Seonghwa stepped back as he realized who was standing in front of him, a gasp falling from his lips.

Seonghwa : si-siyeol?

Siyeol : seonghwa, are you alright?

Seonghwa quickly stepped forward, trying to close the door. But siyeol put her foot in between before he could, blocking seonghwa.

Seonghwa : no, you have to leave.

Siyeol : hear me out first-

Seonghwa : no we ended things, siyeol!

Siyeol finally managed to push herself inside, the door banging shut behind her. Seonghwa stared at her while breathing heavily, his eyes already glossy.

Seonghwa : why do you wish to keep torturing me? Have I been that bad? For you to keep beating me up like this, IT HURTS SIYEOL! I���I can't keep doing-

Siyeol : please, listen to me. You've never once listened to me, seonghwa. At least do it now.

Seonghwa looked away, his lips pressed together.

Siyeol : this isn’t all your fault, seonghwa, you have to stop blaming yourself like this.

Seonghwa chuckled dryly, shaking his head before saying

Seonghwa : don't sympathize with me now, siyeol.

Siyeol : this isn't sympathy, this is love.

Seonghwa : love? What love? You said I was a curse to you, a nightmare. And now you're saying you love me?

Siyeol : I said all that in that moment of anger, seonghwa. I never meant them.

Seonghwa : well you were right, then. Which is why you need to stay away from me.

Siyeol : I'm not going to do that any longer. You can keep pushing me away, keep running from me, but I will chase you down until the end of time. Until you understand that I love you.

Seonghwa : you're sure about that? That you will love me no matter what happens?

Siyeol nodded firmly. Seonghwa let out a breath, bringing his hands to the buttons of his shirt before tearing them apart. Siyeol flinched, her eyes widening as it ran along the scars littered through seonghwa's body. Burnt marks, scratches, cigarette burns, she couldn't even understand where a few of them had come from.

Siyeol : o-oh my god.

Seonghwa looked at siyeol with teary eyes, his lips trembling.

Seonghwa : this is what I am. This is what I've been trying to hide since the beginning.

Siyeol was going to kill the person who did this to him.

Siyeol : no. who did this to you.

Seonghwa : does it matter? Would you really wanna be with a man that is scarred like this? Is this what you wanna live with for the rest of your life, siyeol?

Siyeol : you think a few scars are going to change my love for you, seonghwa? Do you think of me as that shallow?

Seonghwa : GOD, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU YOON SIYEOL!

Siyeol : I LOVE YOU, SEONGHWA! AND I DO NOT CARE IF YOUR ENTIRE BODY IS COVERED IN THESE MARKS, I WILL ALWAYS FUCKING LOVE YOU.

Seonghwa sobbed, stepping back as his hands came up to his face. Siyeol stepped forward as she said

Siyeol : who did this to you, I'm going to kill them.

Seonghwa shook his head, there was no use.

Seonghwa : it's in the past.

Siyeol : you are my past, my present and my future. Anyone that hurt you, deserves to be punished for it, seonghwa. So tell me who it is.

Seonghwa : stop doing this.

Siyeol brought her hand forward, making seonghwa flinch as he shook his head and stepped back.

Siyeol : let me touch you.

Seonghwa : no.

Siyeol : please, seonghwa. Why won’t you trust me?

Seonghwa : I can’t do this again, not when you're going to leave-

Siyeol : I will not leave. Have I ever left you before? Wasn't it always you who left me? While we were dating in the beginning, after the accident, and even a few weeks ago, you're the one who kept leaving me.

Seonghwa : then why are you still here!

Siyeol : because I refuse to give up on you.

Seonghwa let out an exasperated breath, his hands clenching as he looked away in pain. Siyeol stepped closer to him, holding her hand out before whispering

Siyeol : please, let me.

Seonghwa stared at siyeol before taking her hand in his, pulling her towards him and hugging her. He cried against her shoulders, his entire body crumbling under her.

Seonghwa : please save me. I can't…I can't even sleep anymore, yeol-ah. I don’t know how to live anymore, please help me.

Siyeol sniffled before running her hands along seonghwa's greasy hair, not caring one bit about anything except him.

Siyeol : it's okay, I've got you now. Everything's going to be fine, love.

Seonghwa held onto her tighter, nuzzling his head into her neck.

Siyeol : your scars are perfect to me, hwa. It's proof of how much you've gone through, how strong you are. You went through all of that alone, despite having people beside you. And that I can understand, wanting to go through pain alone so that you don't affect your loved one's happiness. But I'm here for you whenever you need me, baby. You don't ever have to hide yourself from me because I'll always love you for who you are.

Seonghwa pulled back as siyeol smiled and moved his long bangs away from his teary face, kissing his cheek softly.

Siyeol : you're mine to love, mine to protect. And all the pain that you have, I'll take it any day any time.

Seonghwa : you'll never leave me, then?

Siyeol : if you promise to never leave me.

Seonghwa gave her a small smile, nodding his head. Siyeol looked around the manor, it's largeness almost shocking her. But the more she looked around, the more she came to a decision.

Siyeol : shall we live here now?

Seonghwa looked at siyeol in confusion.

Siyeol : seoul has been painful for the both of us, it's been a hard chapter. But this place, this home, it's devoid of any emotions. It has space that we can fill with new memories. It's a wonderful estate, and Busan will be a fresh start for the both of us. Shall we move in here, hwa?

Seonghwa smiled, looking around the place as he hummed

Seonghwa : wherever you go, I will follow happily, yeol-ie.

Siyeol chuckled, leaning forward and pecking seonghwa's lips before whispering

Siyeol : I rather like your long hair, let it stay.

Seonghwa giggled, feeling free for the first time since years.

Siyeol : however, I need to get you cleaned. I love you, but you smell terrible right now.

Seonghwa : whatever you say, my lady.

LZ!GO EP. 1 MURDER MYSTERY

ⓘ korean is regular while english is bold! [] + bold = video captions

A classroom. Dark with the walls covered in a mysterious residue. Nothing but silence filled the four corners of the room. Six meticulously placed desks centered in the middle of the room. Perhaps for six special guests. Six guests but only one will leave alive tonight. But let’s not get to far ahead ourselves. Let’s introduce the six lucky guests, shall we?

[YU SIHYUN; Maknae, Main Rapper, Visual]

Sihyun steps forward to receive an envelope containing his role in the game. He is told by the mystery person behind the camera that he can’t reveal what his role is to the other members. And if he does, he will be disqualified. Sihyun nodded heading into the classroom whose lights turned on as he entered. A bell rung signifying the next guest was about to be introduced.

[HARLEY KWON; Main Dancer, Sub-Vocalist]

Harley enters the room with a suspicious look on his face as he peers around at his surroundings.

[It seems that the boy is suspicious of everything and everyone from the very start even if the game hasn’t begun yet.]

The person behind the camera beckons the boy over who raises an eyebrow but does what he was told. The envelope is placed in his hands as he is told the same as Sihyun. Harley nods and heads to the classroom where he finds a quiet Sihyun sitting alone at one of the many desks.

“Hyung.” Sihyun spoke smiling finally glad to see one of his members. Harley smiled at the younger taking the seat right beside him. “Did you get your role?” Sihyun asked Harley who nodded looking around the classroom. Which he now noticed was cover in “blood”. Sihyun nodded look from his hyung and to the front of the classroom as the bell rung.

[CHEON ‘QUINN’ JUYEON; Main Vocalist, Visual]

The smiling boy quietly crept into the room which the staff didn’t notice until he stood in front of the camera smiling and waving. He was handed the envelope which he opened immediately. Though none of the staff could tell what role he got as he kept the same smile on his face. After being told the room he headed to the classroom where he was greeted by Sihyun and Harley sitting quietly.

“Why are you guys so quiet?” Quinn questioned taking his seat next to Harley. His two members looked at him with a straight face and a smile. “Hyungs, what game do you think we are playing?” Sihyun questioned as Harley shrugged and Quinn looked around the room before back at the boy. Quinn smiled already thinking of some games they could be playing. “Amongst Us. Though it doesn’t fit the classroom theme.” Quinn stated sitting back in his chair rubbing his chin as the two younger boys didn’t say anything but look at their Hyung like he had two heads as the bell rung for the fourth time as the next member had already made their way to receive their role.

[PARK ‘CHARLIE’ DOYOUNG; Sub-vocalist, Lead Dancer]

Charlie was quiet as he walked the corridor and to the room where he would receive his role for the game they would be playing. He accepted the envelope as he began to read the role he would be playing in the game. The corner of his lip turning up into a smirk which he gotten of quickly before thanking the staff and heading the the classroom.

At the sound of the door opening the members turned their attention. Charlie entered the room having a seat next to Quinn who draped his arm over the back of the boy’s chair which had Charlie giving him the side eye. Quinn patted the boy on the shoulder as Sihyun looked over at his Hyung who wore a tired expression on his face making the boy sit back in his chair. The bell had rung.

[UYENO KAEDE; Lead Rapper, Sub-Vocalist]

The oldest Hyung of Luzrclb walked quietly and yet suspiciously down the corridor of the hallway. He wore a look of determination of his face as he plans to win this game, though he didn’t know what game they were playing just yet or what role he was going to be. He still wanted to win.

Receiving the envelope which had his role he looked at the staff and back at the envelope before making his way to the classroom which held the other members. Each member giving him a glance before going back to what they were doing. The boy sat in his seat with a smirk on his face as the bell rung for the 6th and final time.

[BLAKE KAN; Leader, Lead Vocalist, Face Of The Group]

Blake held on to the wall tightly as he walked down the corridor with his eyes shut tightly. His hands shook from fear and nervous as he finally opened the door the room only to be greeted by a room full of staff who were giving him confused looks. Probably confused by the fact that he was scared already and nothing hasn’t even happened yet. He chuckled shyly as he took the envelope he was handed. He read over the role he was given before he was ushered to the classroom to join the others.

All six of the boys were back together sitting in the middle of the dimly lit room. None of them said anything as a voice begin to speak telling them the rules of the game.

Luzrclb. You were given a role and now it’s time to play the game. The game you will be playing today is Murder Mystery. Together you must solve a murder case. But one of you will be killing off the others in order for you to win. Every few minutes one of you will be slain by the killer, so I suggest you work hard and fast. Let the game begin! Luzrclb we wish you luck. 

The game has begun as each boy made their way around the room looking for clues. Harley stood in the back of the room examining the two bookcases. Both selves were full of books which could mean that there was a clue hidden within one of them. Harley didn’t look so sure about that. There had to be over 20 books on the selves and he wasn’t up for searching all them. Blake made his way over to where Harley stood looking at the plenty of books suspiciously. “There has to be a clue in one of them, don’t you think?” Blake questioned as Harley turned towards him with a shrug. “Possibly but who would want to search all of them?” Harley replied as Blake hummed looking over at the selves one more time.

Meanwhile, Quinn and Sihyun were busy examining the teacher’s desk searching the many drawers for any clue of what they were possibly looking for. Charlie searched the desks they were sitting in before he turned his attention to Kaede who stood off to the side of the room looking over at everyone. Charlie gave the older a confused look. “Hyung you do know everyone is supposed to be looking for clues, right?” Charlie questioned as Kaede looked at him with a raise of his eyebrow. “Looking for clues is helpful but what about finding the killer? You do know it could be anyone of us, right?” Kaede acknowledged as Charlie rolled his eyes. Charlie looked around the room himself and back at Kaede who smirked at him. He sighed standing up making his way over to his Hyung. 

“Do you have any possible leads since I know you're not going to give this up.” Charlie spoke as Kaede nudged him with his elbow before pointing to the back of the room where Blake and Harley searched through tremendous amounts of books. “Blake the leader but scardey cat of group. Doesn’t seem likely to “kill” anyone. But you can’t be sure. Then we have Harley, the quietest member. A person no one would expect.....that just gives us more of a reason not to trust him.” Kaede explained as Charlie nodded somewhat understanding what he was saying. Kaede then changed his attention to the front of the room where Quinn and Sihyun lingered.

 “The two most likely suspects but not really. Sure they are known for doing things in the spur of the moment but doesn’t mean they are the killer. Quinn. Juyeon our spontaneous moodmaker but not our killer. He is too focused on finding clues to be the killer. He’s just trying to survuve. And then we have maknae Sihyun who would be doing nothing but acting suspious but he’s not which tells us that he’s not the killer. But we also are suspects as well. But I know I’m not the killer so that leave you Charlie. Are you the killer?” Kaede questioned leaning close to the boy who takes a step back. “I found something.” Sihyun annouced getting everyone’s attention. The other boys made their way over where Quinn and Sihyun stood as Sihyun started reading the information he found. 

“Congratulations you found me. Or merely what I’m supposed to be. Something filled to the brim with knowledge or imagination. But that leaves only your interpretation.” All the boys looked cluelessly. What could it mean. “It has to be something in his room. I just don’t know wh-” Just before Blake could finish his sentence the lights cut. The room flickered back to life as the light reappeared which had everyone confused when they realized Blake was no longer in the room with them. Blake had been slain by the killer leaving only 5 members remaining. 

“One person has already died guys, we need to hurry up.” Quinn spoke looking over the note again. The others stood around him looking at the note as well. “Knowledge and Imagination? Perhaps the books?” Charlie questioned making his way to the back of the room where some books were stacked into piles that had already been checked by Harley and Blake. So it meant that the remaining books could have some useful clues within them. Charlie began searching the remaining books alongside Sihyun and Quinn. Meanwhile Kaede looked over the note with Harley who stood by his side. Kaede rubbed his chin before looking at the three boys in the back of the room and at Harley who looked to be contemplating all that was happening.

Kaede wrapped his arm around Harley’s shoulder which made the boy look down at his hand and then at his face. “Harley. Harley. Harley.....what are we going to do with you? Sure you may be helping look for clues but you’re also very quiet. Quiet than usual should I say. That’s kind of suspicious don’t you think?” Kaede teased as Harley nudged his arm off of him. “Hyung you’re not being helpful but you are being overbearing. Something the killer could find a bit annoying. It’s best not to annoy anybody espcially when there’s a killer lurking around. Don’t you think?” Harley jeered at Kaede as he went on his way search the filing cabient in the corner. Kaede didn’t say much more and instead decided to start actually helping with searching.

Quinn huffed setting down the book in his hands which got the attention of both Sihyun and Charlie. “It’s tiring can’t we just take a break?” He whines as both Charlie and Sihyun rolled their eyes. In all the chaos of searching the lights were cut out again making the boys rush to their feet in a hurry. Upon the lights cut back on as the other boys noticed that Sihyun was gone. “The killer seems to be working fast now, so we need to hurry and find more clues.” Charlie said grabbing a book off the shelf and flipping through its pages. His sudden page-turning came to a stop on page 163. Which he noticed, had a few words circled. He had just found another clue. The remaining members gathered around him as he began to read the clue. 

“These clues will do you nothing but good. Please don't say you misunderstood.  All you need now is to look where the desk aligns. That is all I can give you for this next sign.” Charlie read as the others were quick to make their way over to the desks. All three of them searched for the clue they were given to look for. Within just a few minutes of looking Kaede found the clue they were looking for. “Found it!” He annouced as the others were quick to join by his side which had him step back. “Wait a minute. I can’t trust you guys as easily anymore. One of you is the killer. But which one?” He remarked raising an eyebrow at the other boys. All three of the boys looked at each other and back at Kaede who wore the same expression. “I’m not one to sus anyone out but I think it is Quinn.” Charlie said as Quinn was quick to turn his attention to him. “Me? What have I done for you to be suspicious of me?!” He questioned. Both Kaede and Harley was confused as well. 

“Let me just ask you something. What is your biggest weakness?” Charlie asked as Quinn scratched his chin in confusion. “I can be uncooperative.” Quinn stated matter of factly as the others looked at him with confusion before back at Charlie. Charlie wore a knowing expression upon his face. “Okay, can you give me an example?” Charlie questioned as Quinn shook his head not entirely understanding what the reason was. “No.” He spoke flatly as Charlie turned to the other with his hands out as if he was presenting something. “What exactly is the point of this?” Harley questioned. Charlie took the paper from Kaede’s hands which Kaede didn’t know until Charlie held up the paper. “He’s uncooperative then why would he willingly help us look for clues unless he was trying to throw us off his trail. As simple as that.” Charlie revealed as a smile made its way upon his face. 

The others wore a surprised expression on their faces. All except for Quinn who couldn’t do nothing but scowl. “Maybe I just don’t want to di-” Quinn got cut off in the middle of his sentence as the lights shut off. And then there were 3 when the lights cut back on to reveal that Quinn had been slain. Both Kaede and Harley turned their attention to Charlie who couldn’t even look at them. Kaede shook his head before taking the paper back from Charlie. “Oh you’re so close but so far. Soon you’ll find the big bright star. Someone close to you that you seek. For now, look at where the teacher speaks.” Kaede and Harley made their way over to the podium in the front of the room while Charlie stayed in the back thinking over what just happened. 

Behind the podium lay an empty cubby hole. Harley and Kaede both looked at each other with confusion. What exactly were they supposed to be looking for when the cubby was empty? “Maybe a hidden compartment like in those movies,” Kaede suggested as Harley couldn't help but give his Hyung a look. “This isn't a movie Hyung,” Harley remarked as Kaede tried again. And to both of their surprises, there was a hidden compartment under the podium that came along with their next clue. “The fourth clue! Good for you! But that is not all you found now. Here’s the murder weapon, the killer’s vow. Take this and you’ll find the killer. One who caused all this thriller. One can’t do a job well without leaving hints. Unbeknownst to the killer who left fingerprints.” 

“Great but now how are we supposed to see the fingerprints.” Harley questioned as Kaede shrugged. Once again, just like the lights have been cut off. And when the lights come back on, there was no sign of Charlie to be seen. Now it was just. Kaede and Harley left to solve the case before the killer came again. Both the boys were quick to point fingers at each other. “You're the killer just admit it.” Kaede accused as Harley rolled his eyes. “Lying would do us no good.” Harley remarked as Kaede sighed. Both boys didn’t say anything else to one another and let the silence pass over them. They both searched opposite ends of the room looking for anything that could help them identify whose fingerprints were on the weapon. It felt like they had been looking for days as they were both starting to get tired of looking. Just as they were about to give up something caught Kaede’s glance. Another piece of paper. A clue. 

One both boys hoped will lead them to the end. “The final clue you have now found. That means no more looking around. Congratulations to you for successfully finding the clue. Now just flip over the paper to see who has deceptively fooled you.” Both boys gave each other a look. They were just about to figure out who did it. But before Kaede could flip over the paper Harley grabbed the paper out of his hands. Kaede wore a look of confusion and betrayal upon his face. “Harley give me back the paper. Listen to Hyung, ok.” Kaede eased taking a step to the boy who shook his head. Harley slowly turned the paper over only for the lights to cut out before he could get a good look at who the killer was. Kaede eyes widened in shock at where Harley had stood moments before. 

His hands rubbed at his temples before he cast his eyes over to where the paper lay on the ground. With each step he took the louder the room seemed to get. Then everything went dark. The classroom was back to the way it was before the six guests had entered. Dark, quiet, and covered in residue. The paper stays still on the ground. It’s crispy surface lay facing the ceiling. Giving one a view of who the killer is. But at least the darkness claims you as well. Leaving everyone to wonder. Who was the killer?

Park Seonghwa : Memory (Part 3/4)

Pairing : Park Seong-hwa (Ateez) and named character (Yoon Si-Yeol)

_______________________________

Sihyun : what is your plan with my sister?

Seonghwa turned around to face sihyun, who was standing behind him with a scowl. Seonghwa sighed. He had been waiting outside siyeol's house yet another Sunday, hoping she would take less time to get herself ready. But of course, she had to be late.

Seonghwa : I have no plans, sihyun.

Sihyun : really. That's why you've promised to take her out on every single Sunday?

Seonghwa : it's only for 2 more months, and then we'll be done. I figured I owed her this one last thing before leaving.

Sihyun : oh so you're just going to leave after your last date with her?

Seonghwa : yes, I'll not contact her anymore.

Sihyun : you're going to break her heart again if you do that, you idiot. Why did you even agree to this arrangement in the first place if you were just going to fucking leave!

Seonghwa : then what the hell am I supposed to do, sihyun! Every single day I am burdened with the fact that I was the reason siyeol lost her memories, that…that I deserve to just burn in hell for all that I have done to her. But when she asked me for this promise I couldn't…

Sihyun : stop yourself from giving in to her? Yeah, she has that way with people. But you're supposed to have some will-power, seonghwa. You're supposed to not be close to her when you know what happened the last time.

Seonghwa : which is why I'm leaving. Yes, it might break her heart. But a broken heart is better than a broken body. And hence I will leave, you can find someone else for siyeol after that. Someone who isn't a curse.

Seonghwa : do you want the ice-cream or not.

Siyeol : I want the strawberry one! Not stupid chocholate.

Seonghwa : the strawberry one is over, siyeol-ah, why won't you understand-

Siyeol : then I'm not having it.

Seonghwa : aish, don't be such a child. Just have this ice-cream, no?

Siyeol : no.

Seonghwa let out an exasperated breath, pressing his lips together as he looked at the ice-cream cup in his hand and back at siyeol who was sitting in a bench in an amusement park they had both come up to, her arms folded and a small frown on her face. She was being stubborn, and cute. But stubborn.

Seonghwa : do you really want strawberry ice-cream?

Siyeol nodded. Seonghwa sighed, throwing the chocholate ice-cream aside before bending down and picking siyeol up. Siyeol yelped, wrapping her arms around the back of seonghwa's neck and her legs around his torso. Seonghwa piggy-backed her effortlessly, walking to the nearby convenience store.

Siyeol : okay damn I did not expect you do this.

Seonghwa : you were being such a brat, I couldn't really help it.

Siyeol giggled, wrapping her arms tighter around seonghwa's neck as she rested her head against his shoulder. She had been running around rides in the amusement park for an entire day, she felt like she could fall asleep any second. But she had to keep herself awake for the ice-cream, it was always her favorite part.

Seonghwa finally emerged out of the store with a cup of strawberry ice-cream, setting it down on the table before sitting opposite siyeol. She smiled and started eating the ice-cream, her eyes shining. This was all that seonghwa wanted, to see her happy. He hadn't been able to do that in the past, maybe he could try now.

Seonghwa : eat slowly, no one's going to take anything away from you.

Siyeol : you? Do you not want ice-cream?

Seonghwa : I don't like it.

Siyeol : really.

Seonghwa just stared at siyeol, trying to show her how serious he was. Siyeol sighed and got up, walking towards seonghwa before bending down in front of him. She brought a scoop of ice-cream to seonghwa's lips and said

Siyeol : try some then.

Seonghwa : I told you I don’t like it. It's literally just frozen milk, siyeol.

Siyeol : will you have it, or no?

Seonghwa : I won't.

Siyeol nodded, eating the ice-cream before leaning forward, pressing her lips against seonghwa's. his eyes widened in pure shock, his entire body frozen. That gave siyeol advantage, allowing her to kiss seonghwa deeper before pulling back a few seconds later. She swiped the rest of the ice-cream off the corner of his lip before asking with a small smile

Siyeol : does it taste good now?

Seonghwa opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But he was too shocked, no words came out of his mouth.

Siyeol : it's fine, take your time pretty boy.

This time an audible gasp left seonghwa's lips at the use of that name, his eyes turning to siyeol in bewilderment.

Seonghwa : si-siyeol, you cannot do things like that to me.

Siyeol : like what, kiss you or calling you pretty?

Seonghwa : both!

Siyeol : that's unfortunate, then. I rather liked kissing you.

Seonghwa : stop saying that.

Siyeol : why, because you look like a tomato right now?

Seonghwa quickly covered his cheeks with both his hands, making siyeol chuckle at how adorable he was being.

Siyeol : tell me you didn't like it.

Seonghwa : what?

Siyeol took another bite of her ice-cream, saying seriously

Siyeol : tell me you didn't like it and I won’t ever do it again.

Seonghwa blinked his eyes, knowing well enough that he liked it. But was he going to tell her the truth?

Siyeol : do not even think about lying to me.

Seonghwa : what if I remain silent?

Siyeol : then I'm just going to think you liked it.

Seonghwa did not utter a word after that.

__________________________________

Seonghwa stepped into his bathroom after having slipped his shirt off, finally having come back from his…date, he supposed, with siyeol. And as soon as his upper bare body became visible in the mirror, his earlier cheeky smile disappeared, that being replaced with empty eyes. The same scars, the same marks, and the same him. Why did he keep forgetting it when he was with siyeol, why did he keep forgetting that at the end of the day, he was only a loser who couldn't defend himself from anything. He did poorly at standing up for himself, he let everyone have their own way with him and these marks were proof.

Seonghwa ran his finger along an already healed cut, still feeling the pain he first felt when it had appeared

"Please! I-I haven't done anything wrong today, please don't do this"

"You haven't done anything wrong? Your entire existence is a wrong itself, park seonghwa. We have every right to hit you or abuse you in whatever way we want"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry-"

"You're sorry for what, you little pig?"

"I'm…I'm sorry I was born. I'm sorry I came to this company, I'm sorry for everything"

"If you're really sorry, then take these hits like the good little dumbfuck you are without making much fuss, hmm?"

Seonghwa flinched as he looked away from the mirror, coming back into this word. He stepped into the shower with a shaky breath, trying not to think about it.

Forget, he told himself, move the fuck on. But how could he, when the reminders of them kept haunting him at every time of the day.

A month later :

Siyeol was walking back home after work, scrolling through her phone while listening to music. It was a Friday and she was already tired from work. She had lost all her memories, but apparently not the ones related to work. And she only figured that out once she had actually reached her office and started going through her old works. Things just seemed to come back to her.

She wished things were that way with people too.

??? : siyeol-ie, hi!

Siyeol looked up with a frown, 4 boys walking up to her with smiles on their faces. Four boys she recognized from high-school, the ones she usually avoided.

??? : heard you lost your memories?

Siyeol sighed and nodded, taking her Airpods off as she said

Siyeol : I still remember all of you, though. Didn't really lose all of my memories, just a few years.

??? : really. Then you must remember your boyfriend?

Siyeol : my…what?

??? : you don't remember little seonghwa?

Siyeol scoffed, looking away as she whispered to herself

Siyeol : I knew it.

??? : knew what?

Siyeol : thank you! All of you, really.

One of the boys opened their mouth to say something but was cut off siyeol ran past them, knowing exactly where she needed to go.

_____________________________

Seonghwa had just finished washing his plates when he heard the doorbell ring multiple times, making him frown. No one was supposed to come at this time into his house.

Seonghwa peeked through the peep hole, quickly flinching and stepping back with a gasp as another eye stared right back at him through it. Siyeol, it had to be her.

Seonghwa opened the door to his house, frowning at siyeol who was staring at him blankly.

Seonghwa : siyeol, what are you doing here? It's not a sun-

Siyeol : you used to be my boyfriend.

Seonghwa's eyes widened as siyeol let herself inside his house, removing her jacket as she said

Siyeol : why did you lie to me. Did I do something wrong?

Seonghwa stood there frozen, wondering whether she had gotten back her memories. But if she had, would she even want to see him?

Seonghwa : you…your memories-

Siyeol : no, a friend of mine told me this. I still haven't…seonghwa.

Seonghwa looked up at siyeol, his hands clenched behind his back.

Siyeol : did you…do something wrong?

Seonghwa looked away.

Siyeol : because if you did, unless it directly caused my accident, I do not care.

Seonghwa : w-what?

Siyeol : I want you back. I want us back, hwa.

Seonghwa : we can't.

Siyeol : do you love me?

Seonghwa : siyeol, I'm not supposed to-

Siyeol : DO, YOU, LOVE, ME SEONGHWA?

There was no way out for him now. Seonghwa bit his lips, looking away as he muttered under his breath

Seonghwa : of course I do.

Siyeol : then date me.

Seonghwa stared at siyeol, being at a loss of words.

Seonghwa : you do not want that.

Siyeol : yes, I do. There's nothing I want more.

Seonghwa : your brother is going to kill me for this.

Siyeol : then I'll protect you. It's going to be us against the world, hwa. I'm going to shield you from everything until my last breath, I promise.

Seonghwa looked away, tears falling down his eyes. God, he didn't deserve any of this from her. But he wanted it so bad. Siyeol walked forward, cupping seonghwa's cheek before whispering

Siyeol : I love you. The old siyeol loved you, and this one loves you none the less. Please, come back to me.

Seonghwa let out a breath and kissed her, his eyebrows scrunching as he lifted her and placed her on a nearby table. Siyeol wrapped her arms around his, kissing him back with the same amount of desperation.

Seonghwa : from now on, I'm going to correct all my mistakes.

3 months later :

It was happening all over again, seonghwa and siyeol in a relationship. Except this time seonghwa was being an ideal boyfriend. He'd call her up at midnight, saying he was outside her house and couldn't sleep without her arms around him, he'd take her out on more dates that didn't just include their usual Sunday ones, and he'd accompany her home from work. He did everything for her.

Sihyun didn't like it one bit, but his sister seemed to have a glow on her face that had been absent for a very long time. And he couldn't muster up the courage to tear seonghwa away from her and cause her pain.

Except he knew some day her memories were going to come back, and neither siyeol nor seonghwa would be the same way again. This was only for a short period of time.

Seonghwa was now walking around the streets with siyeol clinging onto his arm, sipping on her banana milk with a satisfied smile. Seonghwa looked up at the sky, squinting his eyes at the amount of sunlight. He hated being hot.

Seonghwa : damn, it's sunny.

Siyeol : but we're on a date.

Seonghwa : still…sunny.

Siyeol whacked seonghwa's arm, making him giggle as he leaned his head against the top of siyeol's and said

Seonghwa : I never said I wanted to go back home, yeol-ie. It's sunny, but I'll suffer it happily since you're with me.

Siyeol smiled, taking another sip of her banana milk before saying

Siyeol : I don't want this to ever end.

Seonghwa : your banana milk? If it does end I can just buy a new on-

Siyeol : aish not that, you idiot. I meant us, our relationship.

Seonghwa : oh, you don't ever have to worry about that. I'm gonna stick to you like superglue, unless you ask me to…unstick myself.

Siyeol giggled, sighing as she looked towards the road with a small smile. Her smile soon disappeared as she noticed a truck coming towards a car that was going past them, the truck driver clearly unaware of the car that was speeding faster than allowed.

Siyeol : NO-

Siyeol cut herself off with a gasp as the truck hit the car with a bang, the car being turned upside down as she the people around quickly stepped away to avoid being hurt. Seonghwa's eyes widened, quickly moving siyeol away from the road as he covered her with his body.

Soon enough the car had stopped moving, the truck driver jumping out of his vehicle and rushing towards the vehicle with a worried look on his face. Seonghwa turned to face siyeol, who seemed to be hyperventilating and staring at the sight in front of her with torn eyes.

Seonghwa : siyeol, are you okay?

Siyeol was breathing heavily, her head suddenly starting to hurt as she stared at the car that was turned upside down, a crowd gathering around it and trying to hoist the injured person out of the car.

"H-Help me"

"MISS CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

"C-Can't breathe"

"You're going to be alright, we're going to get you help. Okay?"

Siyeol moaned in pain, her legs giving in underneath her as she lost balance. Seonghwa quickly caught her, lowering the both of them to the floor as he held siyeol's cheek, eyeing her with worried eyes now starting to fill up with tears

Seonghwa : yeol-ah, what's wrong!

Siyeol looked up at seonghwa with hazy eyes, her head hurting more than ever as a thousand memories of them flashed through her mind. Her, crying over the things seonghwa never did for her, and him, caring the least.

Siyeol : you…seonghwa.

Seonghwa's eyes widened as siyeol fell unconscious in his arms, her body going limp. His hand tightened around hers, tears starting to fall down his eyes as seonghwa realized.

She'd gotten her memories back.
