Part 23: Alcohol Therapy
Black Truth and White Lies14 years ago, at BigHit day care centre, 5 year old Sungjae is playing Lego house with 5 year old So-Hyun. When suddenly, Joo-Hyuk approached them and said “So-Hyun! Can you be my girlfriend?” then he gave a flower to her.
“You can’t! I am her boyfriend!” Sungjae said as he stood up and went in front of So-Hyun as if he is protecting her.
“Who do you choose So-Hyun?!”
“I am already engaged with Sungjae. I’m sorry Joo Hyuk.” So-Hyun answered and held the hand of Sungjae.
“I hate you! You hurt me! Teacheeer!” Joo Hyuk shouted and ran towards Teacher Taehyung.
“Did So-Hyun reject you again?” Teacher Taehyung asked.
“I don’t like her anymore!” Joo Hyuk said.
“You’ve said that for nth times.” Teacher Taehyung said. “Okay go back to you sit now children. Let’s start our lesson.”
Sungjae’s POV
“Am I the only one who can remember our childhood memories?” Joo Hyuk answered and looked at So-Hyun who is still confused. She looked at me and I looked back.
Just who are you So-Hyun.
“Tell me more.” So-Hyun insisted.
“Well, Sungjae left after we graduated day care. But he left you a necklace, have you lost it?” Joo Hyuk answered.
Why can’t I remember a thing?
“I can’t remember.” So-Hyun answered.
“Where did I go?” I asked.
“I don’t know. We are not that close after all.” He answered. Thanks for that information. “I took the chances that he left but you met another boy and another girl during that time. And you forgot about me and about Sungjae, I think.” He added.
“You are so bad noona.” Seonho said.
“I can’t even remember m y childhood memories, how can I remember those events?!” she defended. “Who are those children?” she asked.
“I can’t remember the names though. They were our classmates but they just kinda anti- social.” Joo Hyuk answered. “Then you left, followed by that unknown girl. I also left, then came back here after high school.”
“Where did that boy go?”
“I don’t know. We are not that close. All I know is, he also likes you. I can still remember your bangs and your pink backpack back then.”
“Yah! I didn’t tell you to describe me!” So-Hyun shouted.
“Hahahahahahaha okay. By the way…” Joo Hyuk looked at me and back to So-Hyun “are you two dating?”
“No.” we said in unison.
“Really?” Joo Hyuk said.
“She likes someone else.” I said and took a shot of basketball.
“Oh. You sound jealous though.” He said teasingly.
“Why would he?
