Forget me not
Forget me not
Yoochun’s plane landed on jeju island. He has been always hesitant to go back here for personal reasons. But today, he
can’t refuse. Duty calls. For the past 3 years he is working on this well known events company. He is the photographer.
“hyung, I think we are early. The one who will fetch us is not here.” Minhyuk said his assistant. Yoochun looked around
the airport. Sure the one whom his boss talked to a month ago is still nowhere to be found. “Let’s sit over there first.
Maybe the flight landed early than scheduled. With their luggage they found a spot. “hyung, I’m hungry, I’m going to
buy something okay? You want some?” minhyuk asked. “no I’m fine. Go.” Yoochun replied while smiling to his
dongsaeng. Left alone he looked around something caught his attention. A young couple taking pictures around the
corner. He smirked. But suddenly he felt sadness. “wonder how is she now?” yoochun thought.
~Flashback~
“woah! Jeju is really awesome chunnie!” “yah! Don’t call me chunnie in public, it’s embarrassing you know” yoochun
replied to her in such a low voice with a pout. The girl run towards him and hug him. “aigoo, my boyfriend is such a
cutie. But I like that name. it suits you.” She planted a peck on his lips causing him to smile widely. “aish, arasso! I
really can’t win over you Minnie!” he uttered causing ji min to giggle. “because that’s how you love me. Come on, we
better get going. This is our first vacation as a couple I want it to be memorable” jimin dragged yoochun on the
waiting taxi. Yoochun just shook his head totally amused by his childish girlfriend.
“hyung! The wedding coordinator is already here” minhyuk waved his hands infront of the daydreaming yoochun.
Yoochun snapped back to reality. “oh! Really?” “what’s wrong with you hyung? You’re kind of lost or something. And
you are smiling widely a while ago.” Minhyuk asked totally clueless about it. “nothing I just remember some joke a
friend told me. Let’s go. She is waving at us” yoochun stood up and started walking towards the exit.
Their work will be on Saturday, since it’s Thursday yesterday, they still have time to go sightseeing. Minhyuk had other
plans though, he is meeting some friends who are at the same island so yoochun is going solo. With his trusty
backpack and SLR camera he went out of their hotel and started walking outside.
~Flashback~
“hon, take a photo of me here, with the scenery at the back, better take a good shot okay?” jimin said animatedly.
“arasso arasso! Aigoo, seriously, did you just want me to tag along because I’m your boyfriend or you just want me
to be your personal photographer?” yoochun acting a bit angry, “both” jimin played along. “bwo?” yoochun is totally
surprised. “aish! Just take it already, we don’t have all day. I love you my chunnie!” jimin said sweetly. Yoochun just
smiled, he know he love this girl so much, being angry with her is out of the picture.
“ajussi, can you please take our photo?” the young couple from the airport. Yoochun out of the twilight zone once
again obliged. The couple thanked him and went on their way. Yoochun started walking again, he pause on the same
spot jimin and him first destination back then. He admire the landscape so much, he his camera and started
taking pictures. He is so into taking the pictures when he bumped someone. “ouch” a female voice echoed on the quiet
place. “oh, sorry, I didn’t saw you there, are you alright?” yoochun offered his hand on the lady that is now sitting on
the grass field. The lady took it and for some reason, yoochun flinched. Her touch is oddly familiar. “it’s okay, I too
didn’t saw you. Bet I’m so mesmerized by the view.” The lady said not looking at him and still removing the bits of
grass her long skirt had. “that voice is familiar” yoochun wishpered. “sorry you say something?” the lady asked finally
looking at him.
“ji min?” yoochun wide eyes staring at the person standing infront of him. “sorry?” the lady asked her eyes are staring
back but its full of confusion. “ji min? have you forgotten about me? It’s me yoochun.” He holds her hands, the lady got
startled and removed her hands on his, she step backwards. “sorry, I think you’ve got the wrong person. I’m Ji Min but
I don’t know you.” Yoochun got shocked. How can she not know him at all. “ji min stop this joke, it’s me yoochun,
you’re…” “Don’t come near me, I’ll call the cops, I don’t know you, I don’t know how you know my name but I DON’T
KNOW YOU!!” jimin yelled causing yoochun to back away, he realized he scared her and maybe something happened.
“I’m sorry, if I frighten you, please don’t be afraid of me I mean you no harm.” Yoochun said holding her hand again
this time something caught his attention, “engagement ring? She is engaged?” he thought. Ji Min relaxed but still
retrieved her hand.
They are now sitting on a coffee shop. This coffee shop is not new to yoochun, he and her on this case his ji min
always comes here when they are in jeju. “so, you know me huh?” ji min started looking at him. Yoochun felt strange
seeing her again after 5 years, 5 years and he is like a stranger to her, they had been together for almost 3 years. “yes,
apparently, we are FRIENDS back then” he emphasized on the word friends. “oh, how come I don’t remember you?”
she placed her hand on her chin, showing her engagement ring. Yoochun felt dizzy seeing it. “as my mom told me,
everything is laid to me, feed to me completely, how come this one is left out?” “feed?” yoochun wondered. “oh, I had
an accident 5 years ago, car accident is what mom told me. D.U.I” she whispered the last part. Yoochun furrowed his
brows, as far as he know, Ji Min doesn’t drink. She smiled seeing yoochun is so serious. “so, Friend, what brings you
here?” she asked. “work” yoochun simply replied.
“really? I’ve been here? I thought it’s my first time” ji min said giggling. Yoochun is totally admiring the view right now.
He missed his ji min so much, but it’s his fault that he lost her. he stopped “yeah, this is my last chance. I better make
the best of of this time” he thought to himself. He brought ji min to the places they went to back then. Took lots of
photos, not minding that she only knows him as a friend. The sun is starting to set. Yoochun dropped ji min on her
hotel. “nice seeing you again friend. Hope to see you again. I had a great time. I’m sure my fiancé will be glad I didn’t
got bored while he is busy. Bye!” ji min waved and run towards the hotel. “oh! By the way, I saw you’re ring? You’re
already married. Congratulations. Hope I can meet your wife someday too.” She waved again and entered the hotel.
Yoochun sighed. She sure still the same Ji Min he fell in love with but with no memory of him. “at least she is happy.”
“chunnie, why are cancelling the wedding? Don’t you love me anymore?” Ji Min asked crying and kneeling in front of
yoochun. He pushed her, “I told you already, I don’t love you anymore! I love Tiffany! We get along just fine and she
is not so clingy like you. So please, save yourself to this drama and move on” just like that he left her crying on the
fully furnished apartment that should be their home after the wedding. That same night, yoochun flew to japan to be
with tiffany. “yoochun, I don’t think this is working out” tiffany uttered. “bwo? Wae?” yoochun stood up looking so
shock. They only have been a couple for 2 months now she is breaking up with him. “I just don’t love you no more. I
don’t feel it anymore. I have someone else already. So please move on” with that tiffany left him dumbfounded. Its
like karma hit him hard. He realized that all he had for tiffany is lust, desire, . It is not love really. “what have I
done?”
“hyung hyung! Wake up! You’re having a bad dream!” minhyuk shook the corpse like yoochun. “ha!” he sat up on his
bed. He noticed tears had escape his eyes. He wipe it dry. “hyung? Are you okay?” minhyuk asked so worried. “ah deh,
bad dream. What time is it already?” yoochun asked to divert minhyuk’s attention. Last thing he needs right now is to
explain the situation. “it’s already 7 am hyung. We need to get ready. the wedding will start at noon” minhyuk said.
Yoochun nod, he went to the bathroom and washed his face. “this is the best for her. not remembering me at all”
At the wedding venue, yoochun and minhyuk split the job, minhyuk on the bride’s side and yoochun on the groom’s
side. “ahhh! Finally, I’m getting laid.” The groom uttered. Yoochun smiled. “look here Mr. Kim” yoochun take his picture.
“please, call me Jaejoong, you’re yoochun right?” yoochun nod. “are you married? I saw your ring. How’s married
life?” jaejoong asked. Yoochun stared on his finger. Sure he did wore the ring that supposed to be ji min and his. “it’s
so good. better make your wife the luckiest girl on earth. Love her. never ever hurt her.” yoochun replied with a smile.
Inside he is thinking that Ji Min sure is lucky not remembering him and now engaged to a deserving guy.
Yoochun is on the entrance waiting for the bride to enter, he ready his camera. The bride entered the venue, her veil
covered her face, yoochun took the photos, the bride looked at him and waved. Then he realized who the bride is. “ji
min?” he whispered. He looked at the groom too, he is all smiles, looking at his bride. Yoochun steps back. “hyung?”
minhyuk asked. “uhm, minhyuk-ah, can you take over, I’m not feeling well today.” Yoochun lied. “sure hyung, you
should rest. Take the reception later” minhyuk said and proceed on taking pictures. Yoochun sat on the very far end of
the venue, he wore his aviator dim glasses, he is now tearing up.
~Flashback~
“ji min ah, honey, please, listen to me. Give me a chance. Please open the door” yoochun pounded the door of the
apartment so hard that the other apartment owners are gathering outside. “excuse me Mr. but please keep it down.
You didn’t know what time is it already? And also, there’s no one there. Ji Min ssi already left that house, said she’ll be
going abroad. About 1 month ago” an old lady told him. Yoochun finally broke down into tears outside their “home”.
Supposed to be “their home”.
“I do” Ji Min replied on the priest with all smiles while looking at jaejoong. To yoochun there’s a part of him that made
him happy seeing ji min smiling again. Jaejoong can give her the happiness he once snatch from her. “ladies and gents
let’s all give a round of applause to Mr. and Mrs. Kim. Mr Kim you may now kiss your beautiful bride.” The priest said.
All cheered and chants. Yoochun could only walk away. He can handle seeing Ji Min smiling to other man, but kissing,
it will be a different story.
On the reception, yoochun tried his best not to bump into some of Ji Min’s relatives. Specially her parents, to his
surprise, her mom comes up to him. “yoochun dear, how’d you’ve been?” her mom ask yoochun who is taking a break
from taking pictures. “I’m doing well ma’am” he simply replied. she nod. “good to hear that.” With that, she pats
yoochun’s shoulder and walk towards the table. Yoochun sighed. The kindness is too overwhelming. “mic test 1,2,3..
ah ah.. okay.. I’m Kim Junsu, the groom’s handsome cousin. I’ll be your MC for tonight.” The guest starting laughing as
jaejoong protested with junsu. “it’s time for the speech of the newly weds. First up is our typical face groom, yo jae,
come on up.” Junsu said earning a playful punch on the arm from jaejoong.
“that was a very moving speech cous! You got us in tears. She grandma is blowing her nose right there. oh! Sorry
grandma I Love you. Next is from our beautiful bride. Ji Min ssi, watch over this fella,” junsu joked and jae joong
punch him again in the arm, a bit harder now. Upon hearing it, yoochun straighten. He looks at ji min and he swear he
saw her looked at her.
“guests, friends, relatives and of course our family members first of all, I want to thank all of you for being
here, joining us, me and jae on this wonderful day. Magical day. ONE OF A KIND day. As you all know, and
I’m not ashamed that I have been in the darkest time of my life 5 years ago. Betrayed, Manipulated, Left
behind, Lost someone and almost lost my will to live. After the miscarriage 5 years ago, I didn’t know how
will I go on, That’s when Jae came into my life, He helped me to my therapy, to regain my lost memory,
helped me accept that losing my baby is just a test to me, and helped me to continue living life. Jae, you
don’t know how much I praise God for giving you to me when I’m in my lowest. I love you. So much. To my
parents,relatives and my new family, thank you so much for accepting me. Loving me. I can’t thank you
enough.” Ji min paused while she wipes her tears. Yoochun still shock just sat on the nearest chair. “and to
that person who cause all of it, at first I so hate you, but now, I should thank you. Leaving me is the most
wonderful gift I received from you. I4U then.” Ji min paused and looked straight to yoochun. “ once again
thank you all. And I have an announcement. Jae babe this is my special gift to you, in 6 months, you’re
gonna be a dad” ji min said while smiling widely. Jae ran towards her and lift her. planted kisses on her face
and kneeled down to kiss her stomach. Ji min giggled. The audience cheered except for one. Yoochun
walked out. This is to much for him. Ji min saw yoochun weakly walking out. “serve you right chunnie.
Thanks again” ji min thought.
~Flashback~
“omma, I want to get yoochun to be our photographer.” Ji min said. “but min-ah, your dad will not like it” her mom
replied. “omma, I’ll handle it.” ji min said.
. “ouch” “oh, sorry, I didn’t saw you there, are you alright?” yoochun offered his hand on the lady that is now sitting
on the grass field. “it’s okay, I too didn’t saw you. Bet I’m so mesmerized by the view.” “that voice is familiar” yoochun
wishpered. “sorry you say something?” the lady asked finally looking at him.
Jimin played him telling him that she suffered memory lost. True, she lost some, but she regains all of it, she wished
that it didn’t come back though. All the hurt is suffocating her every day. In addition, she lost her baby, that’s the
most hurtful thing that happened. She can live knowing that yoochun left her but taking her baby too is too much.
She lost faith in GOD. At that time jae came into the picture. Jae is the Doctor who is assigned to her. Jae gave her the
reason to start again. Forgetting yoochun came as a bliss. Sure the feeling is still there. hey, once you love someone,
it’s forever.
Being with him again brought happiness and pain to her once again, especially when he took her to those places they
went to when they are still together.
“oh! By the way, I saw you’re ring? You’re already married. Congratulations. Hope I can meet your wife someday
too.” Ji min felt a sudden tug in her heart seeing that he is wearing the ring that supposed to be their band. She saw
the other one in his necklace.
“thank you chunnie. I still love you but having to forget everything is much bearable than remembering the pain. Jae
gave me the love I thought I had in you. He deserves the better me, after all, he had me on my worst while you had
me on my best but you choose to break my heart. I4U”
Yoochun crumpled the paper that came with the thank you card address to him from the newly weds. He broke down
once again. He made a huge mistake on leaving her. he lost her, and he lost the child that should me playing inside his
house right now, their house. “I’m so stupid. I deserve all of this. I4U still."
