It's been 2 days. 2 days since Woohyun woke up and said he had no idea who Sunggyu was. 2 days since Sunggyu broke down in front of his friends, 2 days since he admitted to himself that he was a living mess and couldn't handle anything like that any longer. Dongwoo was worried sick about his dear friend, but Sunggyu just told him he was fine.

 

He hasn't left that couch since everything happened. He hasn't left the bedroom since Woohyun woke up. It was more than obvious that the younger man had no idea who he was but it didn't seem to affect Sunggyu at all. The older man would just stay there looking after the other man. Woohyun found it seriously weird but all he did was smile and thank Sunggyu for being with him. But more than once the younger man asked him why he was there and what was the relationship between the two. Sunggyu didn't know how to answer that. He really had no idea. Fortunately, one time Dongwoo was there and told Woohyun that they were all friends.

 

Woohyun seemed to believe it. He seemed to believed everything he was told. They could saw that Sunggyu was the president of Korea and he would probably believe, but maybe that was too much. “Hyung, what do you do for a living?” Woohyun asked as he noticed the older man was reading a bunch of papers. Sunggyu looked up for a moment and he saw the younger waiting for an answer. “I....I'm a teacher...”

 

He said and he could swear the man's eyes lightened up when he heard that. He saw Woohyun move a little on the bed so he could sit perfectly straight. “Really? What kind of teacher?” He asked and Sunggyu felt like someone was ing a dagger on his chest. It hurt. It hurt to answer those questions. Woohyun was suppose to know all of those things, he wasn't suppose to be asking things like that. He shouldn't. “I...I teach literature. I'm a College teacher.” Sunggyu answered, trying his best to keep a straight face. Inside he felt like crying and screaming. This shouldn't be happening. Not to him, not to Woohyun.

 

“Really? How are your students?” Woohyun asked, not being able to hide his curiosity. Sunggyu started biting his lower lip. He didn't want to hide who he was, but Dongwoo told him that he had to control his emotions or he could scare the younger man and make his recovery even worst. “Horrible. They don't get a thing...all but one.” Woohyun looked at him with a curious face, wanting to know more.

 

Sunggyu took a deep breath. Should he say something or should he just allow Woohyun to keep asking small things that were hurting Sunggyu to no end and he had no idea about it? An awkward silence took over the room and either of them knew what to do. Sunggyu went back to his work that seemed that had no end and Woohyun continued looking around the room trying to find something to amuse himself, but it was a hospital room, so it was hard to find something that pleased him. “Hyung, can I ask you something? Since...we're friends.”

 

Woohyun wasn't sure of those words himself, but Sunggyu just nodded. “Do I...have a girlfriend...a boyfriend?” This caught Sunggyu's attention. He looked to the younger man for a couple of seconds and then to his papers. “W...Why do you ask?” Woohyun looked down to his hands. Sunggyu never saw him like that. He looked so shy, so frail. Completely different from what he was used to see. He got too used to the noisy, hyper Woohyun. It was like they were two different people who lived in the same body. “Because I feel like something is missing. When I woke up I felt like something was missing, but I've no idea what it is.” Sunggyu placed his papers on the couch and got up from it very slowly, gently, not wanting to scare Woohyun. Each step was painful and he could swear he was going to break down if the younger man kept looking at him like that. Woohyun was looking at him with such an innocent face. He looked lost and looked like he was willing to trust every single thing he said.

 

Slowly Sunggyu seat on the bed and faced Woohyun. “...You didn't had a boyfriend or a girlfriend...” he paused and looked to the man in front of him. “But...you did loved someone...you loved someone with all your heart...” Woohyun smiled at that. He was so happy to know that he had someone important in his life.

 

But he couldn't help but be surprised when he felt the man in front of him hold his hand so tightly that he felt that something bad was about to happen. “This this person loved me back?” He asked and Sunggyu looked at him. “.....You loved him more than anything. Sometimes you were a little annoying, you messed up his house, you touched everything you shouldn't and you forced yourself into his life.” Woohyun looked at him with a surprised face but couldn't help but smile a little. “But....with time...he learned to appreciate you. He learned to love you....even if he didn't want to admit it.”

 

Sunggyu could swear his heart was going to jump from his chest if he continued speaking like that. “Where is he? Do you know him? Do you know why he isn't here?” Sunggyu felt like crying. It hurt so much. He didn't say a thing. Instead he grabbed the man's arm and pulled him close. He wrapped his arms around the frail man in front of him and started biting his lips, not allowing himself to cry. He was taking deep breaths trying to control himself, but instead he was feeling like the whole world was against him.

 

“What's wrong hyung?” Woohyun asked with a worried face but instead of getting an answer the embrace got tighter and he couldn't understand a thing. He was confused but it got only worst when the older man started sobbing. “Hyung...” The younger whispered and Sunggyu tried his best to control himself but he was starting to be overwhelmed. He couldn't handle it anymore. The pain he was feeling inside his heart was too much for him to handle.

 

“Nam Woohyun....remember...” Sunggyu whispered and Woohyun looked at him with a very confused face. He pulled away from the older man and saw how broken he was. Sunggyu's eyes were red, he looked pale and he had lost the color on his lips. “Hyung, what's wrong?” He asked as he caressed the man's face gently and Sunggyu grabbed his hand. Those touches were making everything worst, if that was possible. “Why can't you realize...that the guy....” He paused and took a deep, long breath. He looked straight into the confused eyes from the younger man and he saw the worried face from Woohyun. “I'm that guy....that guy that you annoyed...the guy that you loved...can't you remember?”

 

Woohyun was shocked with the revelation. He pulled away and looked around for a couple of moments then back to the older man. “I....I'm sorry...” Woohyun whispered and Sunggyu looked down to his hands. He wouldn't cry. He cried already too much. He couldn't show his weakness, not anymore. He had to be strong, he had to be strong for himself, he had to be strong for Woohyun. He couldn't be weak, he just couldn't. “But...I can't remember a thing...” Woohyun said but the older just nodded understanding. He knew the younger couldn't remember. “But I want to.” He explained right away. Sunggyu tried to force a smile, but instead he just continued looking down, thinking. He wanted to say something, he wanted to say something to make Woohyun remember him, at least a little, but instead he couldn't think of anything. “Hyung...I'm sorry...” The younger said, but instead of answering, Sunggyu just thought about one thing. One single thing.

 

Without saying a single word, he grabbed Woohyun's clothes and before the younger could even whimper, he felt the older man's lips against his. He stood there not knowing what to do and Sunggyu had no idea why he was doing this. It wasn't even a good kiss. It was messy, awkward and full of fear. Either of them knew what they were doing. Sunggyu pulled away and both looked at each other. “Please remember me...just...please...” Woohyun was speechless. The kiss made his head spin and he didn't know if he should smile or cry. “...why?” He managed to ask. “Because....
