Foreword
"What's your name?" the girl insisted in asking, although the one she asked locked his mouth in silent. The girl playfully poked the guy on his cheek. "What's your name?" she still asked, for a thousand times perhaps. The guy remained silent, but the stubborn girl wouldn't give up easily. "What's your name?" she asked adain. She only sat there beside the guy at the corner of a dark barn, poking his side frequently while asking the same question all over again.
"What do you want?" the man finally croaked in a silent hiss, yet loud enough for the girl's ears to catch. She threw up her bright smile, hearing his response. "Your name," was her answer. The guy sighed in defeat. This girl had been bugging on him for 5 hours and it drove him insane.
His lips were dry and his whole joints were stiff as he heard his mouth speaking out his own name.
The name that he thought he forgot as year by year passed.
The name that the whole land would not admit.
The name that everybody claimed as 'traitor' 'betrayer' 'culprit' 'trash'
"Nichkhun..." the guy finally dared enough to say. His eyes were shut as he tightened his fist. It felt weird to hear his own name from his mouth again. His real name. He waited for the girl to scream in terrific, calling the nearby security officer, or worst, hitting him with the nearest metal object. He was hopeless to be able to make it. He might die of starvation anyway.
But none of those things happened. The girl was just nodding with a "Ah... I see." Nichkhun opened his eyes. Didn't she know about him? He wanted to ask. But he was too afraid that if he asked her, she wouldn't be the same. She wouldn't nag on him anymore. She wouldn't look at him with those perfectly-shaped eyes anymore. She wouldn't smile brightly at him anymore. He was afraid she would be like other people.
A few minutes passed in an uncomfortable silence. Nichkhun was only sitting there, frequently throwing a glance at the girl who was humming random songs beside him. None of them seemed to have important things to do, not even talking to each other. yet, none of them feel like leaving either. "So..." Nichkhun tried to break the awkward silence. "You?" he asked. "I? I what?" the girl asked back, not looking at him and still humming some songs.
"What's your name?"
This time, the girl turned her head to look at him and stopped humming. Her eyes beamed a beautiful eye-smile as her lips curved into a wide smile.
"Tiffany. Tiffany Hwang."
