Behind The Bookshelf

"So...I have a question for you." I said nervously, looking down at my hands in my lap. Minho swallowed a bite of his breakfast and set down his fork.

"What is it?" he asked.

I bit my lip. "Why is it...that you wanted to know about my past so much?" I looked up at him nervously and curiously. He gulped, looking away for a second, and then smiled.

"There's a reason, but you don't need to know it yet."

I nodded. "I don't understand, but I'm not going to argue." I said, blinking.

Minho's face brightened, and he smiled, laughing. "Good. May I ask you a question then, only if you're comfortable answering it?"

I pursed my lips, looking from side to side. "Maybe. What is it?"

He leaned forward, staring into my eyes. He his lips. "What was your mother like?"

 

"Soyeon ah, come here."

"Ye! Umma, look what I found, it's a lizard!"

"Ah, isn't that cute! Wow Soyeon you're one great explorer." she winked at her daughter.

Her daughter smiled proudly, holding the lizard tightly. "Shall we let it go, Mommy?" The phone rang.

Her mother grinned. "Yes, lets. Come outside for a moment, let me get the phone real quick, I'll be right there."

Soyeon skipped outside, petting the lizard for a few moments. She looked in through the window at her mother, who had picked up the phone, and was now angrily yelling into the reciever. Soyeon tilted her head, wondering who her mother could be yelling at.

She tiptoed inside. "Umma?" she asked quietly.

Her mother turned around, tears in her eyes. "Soyeon, go back outside this instant. And let that damn lizard go will you!"

Soyeon's eyes widened and her face fell, her lip quivering. She rushed outside and threw the lizard into the grass, rushing to cry behind a bush.

 

"She was ... confusing."

 

A newspaper rested on the table in the hospital. The front page contained an article. “Woman killed and girl injured in car accident: Memory lost.”

The girl in the article rested in her room, asleep, while the boy was gone, taken to America with his aunt, the only family he had left. The girl was subject to adoption after her days of rehab in the hospital.

The doctors guessed that her memory would never return, and that its disappearance was a result of the many traumas she experienced. She remembered nothing except her parents, and very few details about her life before this.

She does not remember Minho.

It's been a while since I last read this fic. I haven't been in the mood for SHINee much lately because of my shift of interest toward other K-Pop groups. School is also a factor. That's understandable why you don't update certain fics often.

The poster looks nice. It's fitting for this story's concept. IT also radiates an aura of dreariness.

For him to sound like he knows her, Minho must be linked to Soyeon's past. Because of the way he acts around her, he must've loved her for a very long time. It was his hormones that made him suddenly want to kiss her that time. They were in a romantic setting that time, so the mood seemed right. That's one tragic past they have as children to end up as orphans. The concussion to her head that she'd gotten from being pushed aside from the incoming car explains her memory loss. It is sad that her father walked out of her life. Still, it's unknown what he really did to make her mother not want him to be a part of their lives anymore. Whatever it is, it's got to be something criminal since it was mentioned in a previous chapter that the police are after him. Minho really knows how to be romantic. He's such a gentleman on their date. That's sweet of him to make the analogy of comparing Soyeon to those rare diamonds in the museum to emphasize his heartfelt sentiments toward her. It must be her heart at work that helps her reconnect with her past and draws her closer to Minho. He is the missing piece that she needs in her life. There's a great feeling about the ending that's to come.
