Memories 1
Forever and Always : A Promise
“This is a picture of you when I had just given birth to you.” Cho Hyun Ju showed her the pictures
It has been five days since Aira had woken up but nothing reminded her of her past; not even the voice of her parents.
“Mrs.Cho…” Aira looks at her “I can’t remember.”
“Yeobo…” her mom turns to her dad and cried
“Shh, it’ll be alright.” her dad comforted
“I’m sorry Mr and Mrs.Cho, I’m sorry for not able to remember.”
“It’s not your fault Aira…” Cho Sang Min gave a small smile
“I need to go somewhere.” her mom wiped her tears away and walks out of the room
“I’ll be right back…” her dad got up and rush after her mom while Aira just stood on the bed; guilt washing over her
The door opened and a young man stepped into the room with flowers in his hand, he walks towards her and Aira looked at him emptily,
“I’m not sure what flowers you like.” his deep-husky voice spoke
“Are we close?” was Aira’s first question to him
“Sort of.” he shrugs and handed the flowers to her
“It’s pretty.” Aira smiled “Thank you.”
“Your welcome… How are you?”
“Despite of not remembering anything, I’m fine… A slight headache would appear once in a while.” she said quietly “Who are you to this… Cho Aira?”
“You can consider me as your best friend, you are Cho Aira.”
“It’s hard to believe anything right now, it all seems so surreal. Tell me... Wait, what’s your name?”
“I’m Kim Jong In, most people call me Kai.”
“Jong In-sshi…”
*She is… Different, she doesn’t seem like the Cho Aira I knew.* Kai’s heart sank
“Tell me about myself.”
“I’m not really the person to tell you all of that but there’s just some extraordinary thing about you.” he smiled softly “Here…” Kai pulled the photo album from the bedside table and opened it; he flipped through the pages into present time “This is you… Don’t you think this proves something? That you are Cho Aira and this is your life, address yourself as Cho Aira, you’re none other than her.” Kai looks at her in the eyes
“That woman who came with the man?”
“That’s your parents, the woman’s name is Cho Hyun Ju and the man is Cho Sang Min.”
“She cried when I don’t recognize who she is.”
“Who wouldn’t? What mother wouldn’t cry when her own daughter doesn’t remember her? But it’s not your fault.”
“I feel guilty.”
“Just, try to call them omma and appa, it’s gonna make them happy enough.” Kai smiled
“Jong In-sshi, I don’t know who you are but you seem so easy to trust.” Aira looks at him “Who are you to me?”
“I’ve always been a friend, a listen
