Taehyung put on his two gloves and blew into them, trying to generate some heat. It was winter time and he felt cold. He looked around the spacious living room and saw a brown coat that was hung in the corner.

For the most part, he avoided using the coat because he did not know whose it was, but now, it was winter, and Taehyung decided to use it for once.

He went to the coat and smelt it, the scent feeling familiar and Taehyung smiled, soon realising that he liked a stranger's scent.

He saw a note attached to one of the shoulder pads and it read:

"01000110011011110111001000100000011110010110111101110101001011000010000001101101011110010010000001101100011011110111011001100101"

Taehyung smiled and put on the coat. He had a doctor's appointment and he was already late, so he proceeded to walk to the door. It fitted him perfectly as he opened the door, cold air hitting his face.

He walked on the snow, and noticed one of his neighbours standing outside on his porch, feeding his dog.

"Good morning!" Taehyung said, smiling.

The other looked at him slowly. "Hey, uh, you're still here?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"Oh, oh..nothing."

"Hey, what's your name?" Taehyung asked as the other watched him with a look of surprise, like he couldn't believe that Taehyung was asking that.

"H-Hoseok."

"Well nice to meet you, Hoseok!" Taehyung answered, waving to a nearby taxi driver. He noticed that the other was watching him with a troubled face. "And cheer up, it's Christmas time."

As the car drove past a building, Taehyung felt like he had witnessed it before. He didn't like the feeling, and he was more than glad when the car stopped in front of the hospital.

Taehyung stepped out of the car and paid the driver.

He walked through the building and met a nurse. "Good morning. I have an appointment with doctor Min."

The nurse watched him with a worried look on her face.

What's up with everyone today, Taehyung thought.

"Um..yes," the nurse replied, " he's in um..room 112."

Taehyung muttered his thanks when he felt a hand touch him. He turned and met the woman. 

"He told me to give you this," the nurse said, smiling softly as she handed a blue paper to Taehyung.

The other stared at the paper with read:

"0100100001101111011101110010000001100001011100100110010100100000011110010110111101110101001000000110011001100101011001010110110001101001011011100110011100101100001000000100100100100000011010000110111101110000011001010010000001110100011010000110000101110100001000000111100101101111011101010010011101110010011001010010000001100100011011110110100101101110011001110010000001100111011011110110111101100100"

Taehyung squinted his eyes in confusion. He turned the paper around and saw the rest of the binary.

"010010010010000001101000011011110111000001100101001000000111010001101000011000010111010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000110100001100001011101100110010100100000011010110110010101110000011101000010000001111001011011110111010101110010001000000111000001101100011000010111100101100110011101010110110001101110011001010111001101110011001011100000110100001010001110100010110100101001"

He walked to room 112 and opened the door, where he saw the familiar doctor sitting on one of the chairs.

"Good morning, Taehyung. How are you feeling?" the man asked as the other sat down.

"Good. I've taken my medications."

"Alright. Let's check your head, shall we," doctor Min said as Taehyung lied down on the bed and the other checked his brain with a brain scanner.

After he was done, the doctor turned to him and said, "Do you have any idea of what happened before?"

"I only remember living in my house, that's it."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else."

The doctor sighed as he took a paper from his pocket and placed it on the palm of Taehyung. "He said that it would've worked," he muttered.

"Who's he? The receptionist was mentioning that same 'he' and at first, I thought it was you," Taehyung said, confused.

"He is someone...very close to you."

"Is he my dad?"

"Nope. Read the paper that I gave to you. It's also from him."

Taehyung opened the yellow note:

"0100010001101111001000000111100101101111011101010010000001101100011010010110101101100101001000000111010001101000011001010010000001100011011011110110110001101111011101010111001001110011001011100010000001010100011010000110010101111001001001110111001001100101001000000110001001101100011101010110010100100000011000010110111001100100001000000111100101100101011011000110110001101111011101110010110000100000011011110111010101110010001000000110011001100001011101100110111101110101011100100110100101110100011001010010000001100011011011110110110001101111011101010111001001110011001011000010000001100001011011100110010000100000011101000110100001100101001000000110001101101111011011000110111101110101011100100111001100100000011011110110011000100000011011110111010101110010001000000111011101100101011001000110010001101001011011100110011100101110"

"This person is crazy-"

"Do you remember anything?" the doctor cut in.

Taehyung suddenly had flashes of blue and yellow, people smiling, a handsome stranger holding his hand in a black tuxedo, smiling widely. It all was too much for him.

"No," Taehyung lied. He didn't like that he was remembering strange memories.

............

He got home, and saw an umbrella that he found lying on his porch. He caught a pink note that was attached to its tip. It read:

"010010010010011101101101001000000111001101101111001000000111001101101111011100100111001001111001001000000110011001101111011100100010000001100010011001010110100101101110011001110010000001101100011010010110101101100101001000000111010001101000011010010111001100100000011101000110111100100000011110010110111101110101001011100010000001010111011001010010000001100001011011000111011101100001011110010111001100100000011001100110111101110101011001110110100001110100001011000010000001100010011101010111010000100000011011100110010101110110011001010111001000100000011101000110111100100000011101000110100001101001011100110010000001100101011110000111010001100101011011100111010000101110"

Taehyung didn't like this stranger that was sending him codes. He hated that he understood what it meant. He hated the feeling of dread that he experienced anytime those flashes of memories swept through his mind. He hated it.

He crumbled up the paper and threw it into the snow.

.........

Taehyung was having one of his coffee drinking sessions when someone knocked on the door.

He walked up to it and saw Hoseok holding a box full of stuff.

"Uh..hey.." Taehyung said, staring at the box.

"He told me to give these to you. I would've given them to you earlier, but I thought you had left..so.."

Again with that 'he', Taehyung thought. He took the box and said his thanks while closing the door.

He opened the box, revealing photos and letters and codes. He also saw a giant pink, stuffed teddy bear and smiled. He felt a strong wave of emotion when he saw the note attached to its back:

"010100100110010101101101011001010110110101100010011001010111001000100000011101110110100001100101011011100010000001110111011001010010000001101000011000010110010000100000011011110111010101110010001000000110011001101001011100100111001101110100001000000110010001100001011101000110010100111111001000000101100101101111011101010010000001110111011001010111001001100101001000000111001101101111001000000110100001100001011100000111000001111001001000000111011101101000011001010110111000100000011110010110111101110101001000000110011101101111011101000010000001001101011100100010111000100000010010100110100101101110011001110110110001100101011100110010111000100000010101000110100001100001011101000010011101110011001000000111011101101000011000010111010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000110001101100001011011000110110001100101011001000010000001101000011010010110110100101110"

For the rest of the day, Teayhung went through the heaps of notes and pictures that he had found in the box. He learnt that the he that everyone was talking about was a guy called 'Jimin'. Apparently, Taehyung is-was in some sort of relationship with the person.

He smiled at the picture that showed how Jimin looked like and tried to remember him. 

..........

The next evening, Taehyung sat by the fire place and watched the flames burn slowly.

He then noticed a note stuck to the side of the chimney and grabbed it before the note became burned. It read:

"0100100100100111011101100110010100100000011000100110010101100101011011100010000001110100011010000110100101101110011010110110100101101110011001110010000001100001011000100110111101110101011101000010000001100001001000000110110001101111011101000010000001101111011001100010000001110100011010000110100101101110011001110111001100101110001000000100000101100010011011110111010101110100001000000111010101110011001011100010000001001001001000000110100001101111011100000110010100100000011110010110111101110101001000000111010101101110011001000110010101110010011100110111010001100001011011100110010000101110"

I wonder what he's talking about, Taehyung thought.

Taehyung then walked to his room and opened the closet. Groups of post it notes were stuck on the wall.

Taehyung grabbed a pink one and read it.

"01011001011011110111010100100000011010110110100101110011011100110110010101100100001000000110110101100101001000000111001001101001011001110110100001110100001000000110100101101110001000000110011001110010011011110110111001110100001000000110111101100110001000000111010001101000011010010111001100100000011000110110110001101111011100110110010101110100001011100010000001001001001000000111001101101101011010010110110001100101001000000110000101110100001000000111010001101000011001010010000001101101011001010110110101101111011100100111100100101110"

He blushed and put the paper back, taking another one, and another, and another. He kept on watching the notes, learning about what he and this Jimin did together. Some made him blush in embarrassment, and some made him smile. One made him sad because he learnt that Jimin had a heart problem, but he was getting treatment.

.........

The next day, he went to the public garden and watched some children play football.

He asked if he could join and they agreed.

"Jimin told me that you were really good at football," one little boy said, laughing when Taehyung kicked the grass instead of the ball accidentally.

"What..?" Taehyung said.

"He was weird, and he always came to this garden with you and you two use to eat lots of hotdogs!" the boy continued.

"Really?" Taehyung asked as the child nodded. "What else did we do?"

"He also came to us and told us stuff about you. You want to know what he always said?"

Taehyung nodded.

"He said that he loved you and that he will always love you until the world ended!"

............

When he got home, he noticed a blue note on one of the mirrors. It read:

"010010010010000001101110011001010111011001100101011100100010000001101011011011100110010101110111001000000111011101101000011000010111010000100000011010010110111001100110011010010110111001101001011101000111100100100000011011010110010101100001011011100111010000101100001000000111010101101110011101000110100101101100001000000100100100100000011011010110010101110100001000000111100101101111011101010010111000100000010010010110111000100000011101000110100001101001011100110010000001110111011011110111001001101100011001000010110000100000010010010010000001101011011011100110010101110111001000000111010001101000011000010111010000100000011010010110111001100110011010010110111001101001011101000111100100100000011101110110000101110011001000000110100101101101011100000110111101110011011100110110100101100010011011000110010100101110001000000100001001110101011101000010000001001001001000000111011101100001011011100111010001100101011001000010000001101001011101000010000001110100011011110010000001100010011001010010000001110000011011110111001101110011011010010110001001101100011001010010000001100010011001010110001101100001011101010111001101100101001000000100100100100000011101110110000101101110011101000010000001111001011011110111010100100000011000010110111001100100001000000100100100100000011101000110111100100000011000100110010100100000011010010110111001100110011010010110111001101001011101000110010100100000011101000110111101100111011001010111010001101000011001010111001000101110"

One night, Taehyung noticed a small, silver box inside the big box, and took it out. He opened it up and saw necklace with a yellow note stick to it. It read: 

"01001001001001110110110100100000011100110110111101110010011100100111100100100000011001100110111101110010001000000110010101110110011001010111001001111001011101000110100001101001011011100110011100101100001000000101010001100001011001010110100001111001011101010110111001100111001011100010000001010010011001010110110101100101011011010110001001100101011100100010000001101101011001010010000001100010011110010010000001110100011010000110100101110011001000000110111001100101011000110110101101101100011000010110001101100101001011100010000001001100011011110110111101101011001011000010000001101001011101000010000001100101011101100110010101101110001000000110100001100001011100110010000001101111011101010111001000100000011001100110100101110010011100110111010000100000011011100110000101101101011001010111001100100000011011110110111000100000011010010111010000100001"

Taehyung observed the necklace, and it did have the initials T and J on it. He put on the necklace and smiled.

This must've cost a fortune, he thought, Thanks, whoever you are.

The flashes came when he was about to sleep. He saw him and Jimin together, in the storage room. A lot of commotion. Jimin falling, him crying. Suitcases...

He stepped out from his bed and ran to the storage room. He saw the suitcases that he just thought about and opened up one of them. He took out clothes filled with the same familiar scent.

Another flash happened. This time, Taehyung was crying, his arm surrounding Jimin.

His eyes became wide as he stood in place. His heart beat harshly against his chest as he wished he was back to knowing nothing. The pain in his chest that came after was excruciating. 

He now knew why he was so reluctant to think about the past.

........

The next morning, he ran to the cemetery after hearing from doctor Min that Jimin had died. He spotted the tombstone the had Jimin's name on it. Tears escaped his eyes and went down his cheeks, hitting the ground below.

He knew the reason.

He was angry at himself, and angry at the decision that he had made.

........

When he got home, he went back to the storage room, and opened the rest of the suitcases. The last revealed a note, which read:

"01001001001001110110110100100000011100110110111100100000011100110110111101110010011100100111100100101110001000000100100100100000011010110110111001101111011101110010000001110100011010000110000101110100001000000111100101101111011101010010000001110111011011110110111000100111011101000010000001110101011011100110010001100101011100100111001101110100011000010110111001100100001000000110000101110100001000000111010001101000011001010010000001101101011011110110110101100101011011100111010000101110"

He then saw another one, which was:

"01001011011001010110010101110000001000000110110101100101001000000110100101101110001000000111100101101111011101010111001000100000011010000110010101100001011100100111010000101110001000000100100100100111011011010010000001110011011011110111001001110010011110010010110000100000011001100110111101110010001000000110010101110110011001010111001001111001011101000110100001101001011011100110011100101110"

..........

The next day, Taehyung made a phone call.

"Who is this?"

"I have a confession."

 

"010101010110111001100100011001010111001001110011011101000110000101101110011001000010111000100000010110010110111101110101001000000110000101110010011001010010000001110011011100000110010101100011011010010110000101101100001000000111010001101111001000000110110101100101
