Memories of You
“Hyoyeon,” Yesung called.
“N-Ne?” Hyoyeon looked up.
“What is it, Yesung?” Yuri asked.
“Eunhyuk…He doesn’t come home anymore,” Yesung whispered.
“B-Bwoh?” Hyoyeon asked.
“The only time he does is to change his clothes…And then he leaves again,” Yesung said. “We don’t talk anymore,”
“What happened? Why is he like this?” Yuri asked.
“I-I don’t know,” Hyoyeon whispered with tears.
“What happened? Please tell me clearly,” Eunhyuk said to a man.
“Like we said,” the police started. “It’s like that,”
“SIWON!!! EXPLAIN TO ME!!!!” Eunhyuk grabbed his collar. “WHAT KIND OF POLICE ARE YOU?!?!”
“Stop it!” Siwon’s wife demanded and made Eunhyuk sit down.
“Please, I’m begging you. I’m begging you Siwon and Tiffany, to tell me what really happened,” Eunhyuk cried.
“That’s what happened, Eunhyuk,” Siwon said.
“It was your parents’ anniversary,” Tiffany started.
“They were on their way to the restaurant,” Siwon said. “When we found them, your dad was in the driver’s seat your mom next to him.”
“You were the last person she called,” Tiffany said. “Your mom called you when your dad was driving,”
“Your phone was busy,” Siwon replied. “So they waited and called again a few minutes later,”
“We don’t know what happened next, but at the time when the call went through,” Tiffany swallowed and looked away.
“There were teenagers racing on the highway,” Siwon whispered. “Your dad didn’t swerve fast enough, so they hit each other. Your parents’ car spun out of control and hit a tree and…” Siwon stopped talking.
“S-So it’s my fault?” Eunhyuk asked.
“Aniyo,” Tiffany shook her head.
“Because of my phone call with Hyoyeon, they died?” Eunhyuk asked.
“It’s not like that,” Siwon told Eunhyuk.
“I-I can’t blame Hyoyeon…right? It’s not her fault,” Eunhyuk shook his head.
“It’s not,” Tiffany said.
“It’s my fault,” Eunhyuk whispered.
“Eunhyuk! It’s not your fault! It’s no one’s fault! It’s the teenagers,” Siwon said.
“But my dad could have swerved, if I didn’t answer Hyoyeon’s call!!!” Eunhyuk shouted and started to cry.
“No!!! It’s not your fault!!” Tiffany screamed.
“My dad could have swerved if I hung up on Hyoyeon early when she told me to!!! He could have swerved if I didn’t care that Hyoyeon said she loved me!!!” Eunhyuk cried.
“Eunhyuk,” Siwon patted his back. “It’s no one’s fault.”
“It’s my fault, Siwon!!” Eunhyuk shouted.
“Eunhyuk!!! Stop it!! Will you?!” Tiffany screamed.
“What do I do?” Eunhyuk cried. “P-Please don’t tell anyone. Not even the news. Not my friends or relatives. No one…Only the three of us know,”
“Your best friend,” Siwon started.
“Your girlfriend,” Tiffany added.
“They can’t know,” Eunhyuk asked. “They’ll hate me. They’ll think I’m blaming it on her. She’ll hate herself…It will be worse,” Eunh
