CH 28 ~ Just a friend

I'm Trapped (Discontinued)

 

His POV


“ We don’t have to mention the past”
After that things got really quiet and awkward. Even though you had a lot of questions to ask about their relationship, right now is probably not the best time to bring it up. Yuhan stayed for a bit and left with Mai, allowing you to spend the remaining time alone with ______. 

 

Even though she was still unconscious the remainder of the days you never left her side once. Trying to take as much as you can in before you were going to be separated by the mast ocean. Finally the day that you dreaded most have arrived and you watched as the doctors prepared her for the air carrier. Still holding onto her hand you rubbed your thumb against the smooth skin and tried to think positively. It’s okay, you’ll get the proper help needed over there. Come back healthy for me, I’ll be waiting for you Jagiya. Bending down you kissed her cold but soft lips gently and caressed her face before they carried her away from you. “ I’m so sorry that we have to do this,” her mother said embracing you. “ It’s fine…I know you guys want what’s best for her. We all do” Her dad clasped his hand on your shoulder, “ We’ll contact you if anything happens.” You nodded. “ Okay looks like it’s time to leave, take care Hyukjae,” you bowed to them as they climbed into the aircraft. “ I’ll keep you updated about everything Oppa. Don’t worry,” Mai said giving you a hug. “ Gomawo, take care of yourself okay?” She nodded and turned to leave but you suddenly remembered something. “ Ah Mai!” “ Ne Oppa?” “ Has Kyuhyun talked to you lately?” Judging by her flushed expression you already got your answer. “ He..asked for my contact information when he came to visit at the hospital with you again.” You smiled now knowing that your stubborn maknae has finally taken your advice. “ Well good luck to the both of you. You should run along now,” you said as she tried to avoid your eyes. “ Ne~” You waved goodbye with a heavy heart as they took off and you stood there watching the horizon until the plane was out of your sight, completely gone.

Her POV

2 weeks later ~ 

You were walking by yourself aimlessly down a pathway, with no destination in mind. There was no one around you or even a single sound to be exact. A figure appeared a few feet up front and you tried to distinguish who it was but everything was out of focus. Suddenly you were engulfed in a blanket of fog and you tried to clear it up, wanting to know who that person was but you couldn’t get yourself out. You shouted for help as you felt yourself slowly slipping away and felt a hand grab your arm. Your saviour pulled you out of the fog and bent down to make sure you were okay. You thanked them and saw that it was a younger man with beautiful dark eyes that brought out his sharp facial features. “ Are you okay?” he asked. “ Ne~ Kamsahabnida” you said with a bow. “ No problem, well I will be going now” he turned to leave. “ Wait!, what is your name?” you called after him. “ Lee Hyukjae, or you can call me Eunhyuk,” he replied flashing you a gummy smile. You stared at the man repeating his name over and over again trying to figure out why it sounded so familiar. Before you came up with a reason you saw that he was already out of sight. Looking around you tried to find where he went off to but once again you were alone. 

 

Pulled back to reality, behind your dark eyelids your brain was finally functioning again and you tried to process what was going on. You heard a beeping sound coming from a machine somewhere to your right and wondered what it could be. You slowly tried opening your eyes but as soon as the small stream of light entered you squeezed your eyes shut from the brightness. Moving your fingers you finally got your nerves working again and you noticed how weak you felt. Once again trying to open your eyes you did it with half the speed you did before and allowed your eyes to adjust. At first all you saw was a white sheet and just very bright light, but after awhile objects were starting to materialize as you stared up at the blue ceiling. “_____?” you heard a voice call out your name and looking over you saw that Yuhan was standing there with a cup of coffee. You smiled inside happy to know that you weren’t alone and it was Yuhan who was by your side. He walked over and helped position your bed so that you were sitting upright. You finally took in the room that you were situated in and saw that it was the hospital. “ Oppa…why am I here?” you barely croaked out with your dry throat. Yuhan noticed and quickly filled a cup with water before helping you drink the cold liquid down. It felt so good coaxing your burning throat and you quickly drained the next cup when he refilled it. Yuhan took the cup from your hands and placed it on the side table before replacing his hands over yours. “ It has been too long since I’ve last heard you calling me Oppa…I miss it,” he said chuckling. You looked at him with your head cocked. “ But why am I here Oppa?” you repeated your question. “ We needed to bring you back to Canada to get the proper treatment for when you wake up,” he said gently. Your face went blank as you tried absorbing everything in. “ Back…to Canada?” you stuttered. Yuhan looked at you in concern. “ _____ah do you remember the accident?” he asked you. You shook your head immediately. “ You don’t remember anything at all?” You racked your brain trying to think of anything that would help you remember something but you came up blank. “ No…,” you said quietly. Yuhan pressed his lips together. “ Wait here okay? I’m just going to go get the doctor, I’ll be back.” He bent over and kissed your forehead gently before leaving the room in a hurry. Sitting there alone you sat there thinking back on what he said. Accident? What accident? Were you in a accident? but why? All these questions started rushing through your head but with no answers given. Suddenly a small fragment of your memory came back as you remembered a man. You weren’t quite sure if it was a dream or you’ve met him before but he seemed really familiar. You went to go push your hair out of your face when you noticed a ring on your finger. It didn’t look familiar and you don’t recall anyone giving you a ring as a present. As you sat there trying to figure out where this mysterious ring came from, Yuhan entered the room again with the doctor in tow. He quickly did some basic analysis' on you to make sure that you were healthy and didn’t suffer from any other complications. “ You were out for awhile,” the doctor said giving you a friendly smile as he wrote stuff down on his clipboard. “ The good news is that you made a remarkable recovery, besides some minor scratches and bruising everything else seems to be functioning properly. We still need to keep you at the hospital for a couple days just to analyze and see how your brain is functioning just to make sure everything is consistent” You thanked the doctor. “ But from what I’ve heard from your…” he looked at Yuhan. “ Friend,” Yuhan replied. You looked at him confused and kind of hurt. You thought that your relationship has progressed much more to be considered just as friends. “ Your friend here has said that you don’t remember anything that has happened. We already assumed that there was a possibility of your memory being tampered with from the impact of the accident, so it’s a normal occurrence. With the help of your close ones and with time, you’ll start to regain those memories back slowly. But don’t force yourself too much to remember, you’ll end up doing more damage than good.” With that the doctor filled out some more paper work and left the room. Yuhan walked back over to your side and went to grab your hand when you pulled it away. “ What’s wrong?” he asked you gently. “ You said we were friends” He inhaled and let out a sigh. “ We are friends-“ “ I thought I meant more than that to you, I thought our relationship was going somewhere,” you said. “ You do mean a lot to me! I think about you everyday, and seeing you unconscious like that tore me apart ____ah.” You looked at his worried expression and pulled your hand up to caress his cheek. He closed his eyes and moulded into your touch. “ Then why am I just a friend to you?” you asked. He grabbed your hand that was on his cheek and kissed the back of it lightly. He brushed his thumb over your ring and looked back at you with a pained look in his eyes. “ Because you belong to someone already,” he whispered.

His POV


You finally got home from a long day of rehearsals and you quickly stripped off your shirt when you got through the door. Throwing everything onto the dining table you walked to the fridge to grab a cold water bottle and quickly quenched your thirst. Making your way to the living room you plopped yourself on the couch and threw your head back against the smooth material. Letting out a big sigh you can’t help but feel the emptiness of the apartment without the presence of _____ there. After weeks of coming home to her with a big smile on her face, welcoming you home and ushering you to eat the dinner that she has made, you felt alone now. It has been two weeks since they’ve left and even though you haven’t heard anything from her parents you still wanted to know what was going on in her life. You’ve messaged Mai a couple times but would get the same response “ Still unconscious but healthy. I’ll message you when she wakes up” You looked over at the phone and saw the red light flashing indicating that there are messages that were left. You assumed it was just people trying to sell you their products but opted that it could be something important and reached over to press play. The first couple messages were just from friends who wanted to hang out with you or from the members. You got to the last message when you heard a familiar voice. “ Hey it’s Mai. _____ finally woke up today. The doctor said she is fine and healthy. So don’t worry about her. I’ll call if anything else happens.” You shot up from the couch and stared at the machine. Your heart started pumping faster as your adrenaline kicked in. You quickly grabbed the phone and dialled Mai’s number but the line wouldn’t connect. You stared at the number and saw that she must’ve used the hospital’s phone to leave the message. Instead you dialled Kyuhyun’s number. “ Annyeong-“ “ Kyuhyun-ah I need Mai’s number” “ What…why would I have it…and why do you want it anyways?” “ I don’t have time to joke around, I know you have her number. _____ woke up and I need to call Mai.” “ She woke up? That’s great hyung-“ “ What is her number” you asked one more time impatiently. You quickly wrote down her number and dialled it after abruptly hanging up on your dongsaeng. “ Hello?” “ Mai! It’s Eunhyuk. How is she? is she okay? what did the doctor say?” you asked her a flow of questions. “ She’s fine, perfectly healthy. They’re just keeping her at the hospital a little bit longer to run some tests but she’s fine.” You let out a huge breath of relief. “ Thank god. I was worried sick. Do you know how much longer she has to stay? I’ll see if I can take some time off and go visit her” Mai went silent and for a second you thought the connection was cut off. “ Oppa…That probably isn’t the best idea right now.” “ Why…” “ ____ lost part of her memory. She doesn’t remember anything.” The phone slipped from your hand and crashed on the hardwood flooring with a loud thud. “ Oppa? Oppa are you okay?” you heard the voice ask from the phone but you made no move to pick it up. “ She doesn’t remember me”
