Chapter 11

The "i" Word

He replaced the tape on . “Sorry, but Si Won’s back.”

Fear grew within Tae Hee. She shook her head furiously.

Si Won stepped into the room, followed by other masked people, probably gang members?. “How’s our little princess doing?” He glanced at the almost empty take-out box. “It’s good to see she’s not starving herself.”

The nice kidnapper laughed uneasily. “Hyung? What will happen after the boss is done with her?”

Si Won chuckled. “After we’re done? We get paid and we have a prize.” He his lips.

Oh gosh, no. Please don’t mean that.

Quickly, he asked, “Si Won. This will clear my debts, right? And if we are to have the prize, can I have her?”

“Sure, Jiwoon.” Jiwoon. So that was his name.

And even though she was at risk, she felt safe---now that there was Jiwoon.



After Si Won left the building, Jiwoon revealed a shopping bag, dug into it, and pulled out a night-light. He then ripped the tape off of ---as painlessly as he could. Tae Hee breathed heavily.

“Water...” she panted.

He handed it to her. “I’m sorry, Tae Hee.”

The apology surprised her. “Er...um... there’s nothing to be sorry about...” Well, other than the fact that she was being held HOSTAGE.

“Just sorry.” His phone rang.

“Hello?” he answered.

The speaker droned on.

“Oh, okay. I’ll be sure of it.” He ended the call and turned to Tae Hee, patting her on the shoulder. “You’ll be out soon, you’ll see.”

After he plugged in the night-light, he left the room, leaving it once again lonely.

“Thank you... Jiwoon,” she whispered to his shadow.



That night she dreamed of that night at the beach, just her and Jaejoong, alone but together. 

“Sing me a song, will you Tae Hee?”

“NO!”

“But if you sing me a song, you can be my girlfriend.”

She looked down and blushed. “Depends on what song.”

“Forget Our Memories.” He smiled at her innocently.

She hesitated. Her voice was sure to crack; she wasn’t a singer. “Are you serious?”

He nodded. 

“This better be worth it.”


And so she sang. 


This can't go on.
It's for the best of us.
I can't seem to stop the tears rolling down and forcing on a smile.
Don't wanna show my tears...
...I couldn't even do the one thing. How foolish can I be?

Please forget our memories. Baby please forget our memories.
Just leave and don't ever come back to me.
You don't deserve a guy like me.
Don't look back just turn away
Baby don't look back just turn away.
I know I'll regret it.
But I just want what's best for you and me.

I will be fine.
I always will be fine.
I'll do anything to make you happy.
That's what I desire.
But this is hard for me.
I can not even find the words to say to you what is on my mind.
How foolish can I be?

Please forget our memories. Baby please forget our memories.
Just leave and don't ever come back to me.
You don't deserve a guy like me.
Don't look back just turn away
Baby don't look back just turn away.
I know I'll regret it.
But I just want what's best for you and me.

...Things did not go according to the plan.
I made my decision of letting go but I can't seem to know why I keep holding on to her.

Please forget our memories. Baby please forget our memories.
Just leave and don't ever come back to me.
You don't deserve a guy like me.
Don't look back just turn away
Baby don't look back just turn away.
I know I'll regret it.
But I just want what's best for you and me.

I just want what's best for~ you and me.
[Forget Our Memories – XING]


Tae Hee paused as Jaejoong approached her and violently shook her. “TAE HEE! TAE HEE!” he shouted, awaking her.



Her eyes fluttered open, they were so close. “Jaejoong oppa...” she said softly. “I told you not to come for me.” 

But it wasn’t. 

It was Jiwoon. “TAE HEE!”

In the distance she could hear bullets firing. “Huh?”

He reached for her wrists, beginning to free her from the binding cords.

Before he could say anymore, the door broke as somebody rammed his way into the room. Tae Hee looked up and smiled. “JAEJOONG OPPA!”


Jiwoon lifted his head. His pupils grew in fear and he ran. 

Jaejoong let him go. 

“Goodbye Jiwoon...” she whispered to his fleeing shadow. “Perhaps we’ll meet again...” 

Jaejoong clenched his fists. Had she fallen for that lowly kidnapper? Ignoring the anger stirring within him, he knelt down beside Tae Hee and began untying her ropes. 


For some unknown reason, she began crying, and he tried to comfort her by hugging her. His arms around her, he said, “Aww...don’t cry, Tae Hee. You’re okay now.”

“Why’d you come? You could’ve been killed!”

He felt a pang of guilt. She had risked her life because of him and he had betrayed her.

“Tae Hee...” He touched her cheek tenderly, leaning in to kiss her.


“STOP!” Ye Sung yelled, interrupting their moment. “You CAN’T! YOU’RE! SHE’S---“
