The Forgotten Lover

365 Kisses & A Slap

The man woke up to his alarm clock, a new thing that he has to learn to adapt since two weeks ago. A lady was sleeping peacefully next to him, wearing his shirt. He swept her bangs to the side and examined her perfect jaw line. Her eyes twitched when his fingers her cheeks lightly. 


He knew better that within any moment, she will wake up and chaos will occur. That is when he grabbed the opportunity and planted a kiss on her lips. Her eyes open wide in horror, she shoved him away but she wasn’t strong enough. The man just fell to her side, not showing any remorse instead he smiled, “morning love”. The lady touched to ‘check’ her own body, 


“Who are you? Where am I?” she said to him. 


The man just grins from ear to ear, as if he is expecting the questions, “You are at my house and I am your fiancé”. He said smitten by his own remarks.


“My fiancé? You are lying! When did we get engaged?” she sat down on the bed waiting for the guy to answer her questions. 


He knew that he will need to explain to her everything all over again. He has been doing the same thing over and over again ever since they got back from the hospital two weeks ago. 


“I’ll tell you everything, my love but first, let’s go and have breakfast” he said kindly as he put his hand forth and she took his hands carefully, heading out of the room.

Dear Diary, 


Today is the 14th day that my life has changed drastically ever since the accident. 


How can it change 360 degrees in a blink of an eye?


Honestly, I could not even remember and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t entirely my fault. But I can’t undo the past. 


Is this some kind of punishment? Karma has found its way back to me, is it? 


Yeah, I admit I was being a jerk and took her for granted before. 


Is it because I hurt her so much? 


I love her, I always do and now I realized that I love her ever more than I used to. 


I guess it’s okay that God has given me a second chance for me to right my wrongs that I did to her.


Better late than never, they say. One thing I learn, I’ll never let go of her, never.


It wouldn’t matter how long it’ll take for you to remember me again but I will not let you go out of my sight. 


It doesn’t matter if you wake up every day and forget me every morning although we sleep together the night before. 


It doesn’t matter if I have to make you fall in love with me again, everyday. 


Because I love you and all that I can give you now is my unconditional love. 


I will try my best to make you remember me one day. 


Yes, one day, you will remember me as your best friend, your lover and your fiancé. 


Till the day come, I’ll promise you that every day, the first thing you get from me will be my kiss. 


Although the doctor said that I’ll only have 365 days left for you to recover or your memory will be lost forever. 


Yes, I know, it doesn’t make sense and I couldn’t believe it at first.


How can there be such thing as a time limit and of that, 365 days?


But then again, all of us have time limit. All living things will ‘expire’ one day.


Besides, ever since I met you, nothing surprised me anymore, dear.


Therefore, I’ll give you my 365 kisses without fail so you can remember me for 365 days. 


Remember the promise we made? 


I’m pretty sure you can’t recall it now but I know one day you will. 


Maybe one day, you will only remember me as the guy who kiss you every day and not me for who I am but it’s okay, because I love you.




*~*~*



The man brought the lady to the dining room and there, she saw pictures of them all over the wall. He guided her to each sides of the wall. There was a lot of their polaroid together making silly faces. Numerous pictures of herself and him attending events together and also photos of them taken as tourists taken in Paris, London and many more. 


Not to forget, a huge photo frame of their engagement ceremony. The lady stopped at the picture of the engagement ceremony. Unknowingly, tears began to roll down her cheeks. The man noticed and he wiped the tears for her. He wanted to know why she cried when she saw the picture. ‘Did she recall memories of them together?’ 


But he was afraid to ask, the doctor reminded him not to force things on her. Let her remember things slowly by herself. As much as he wanted her to remember him, a part of him does not want her to recall certain things, his ‘mistakes’, towards her. 


She touched the picture of them on their engagement ceremony as if it meant something for her. In fact, it meant a lot to him too and it is the best things that ever happen to his life. He hoped that she will be able to recall the memories of them together, but he will not have high expectations which the doctor has advised.


“Is that us?” she asked. The man nodded patiently. 


“Come, let’s eat our breakfast” he ushered her to take a seat in the dining room. The maid took the food out and served them. 


“Is this your house?” she asked. 


“It is our house” he smiled. They continued eating silently. 


After finishing their meals, the maid served them their desserts. It is her favorite sweet rice cakes, because she literally adores everything that has to do with rice cakes. 


“Rice cakes” she smiled widely as she savors her dessert. 


He observed her in awe, it reminded him how he started to fell in love with her. It was and still is, her enthusiasm towards others. She gives off an everlasting and ‘contagious’ energy that bright up people and her surroundings.


Once they concluded their breakfast, he then walked to the living room and took out a notebook from the drawer. He gestured at her to join him at the living room and she obliged obediently. 


“When did we get engaged?” she asked as they both sat on the sofa in the living room. 


“Wait, when did we actually meet each other?” 


”No, wait. I want to know how long have we known each other?” She asked again. 


He didn’t answer but was patient enough to let her asked so many questions as if he is used to that. But he knew the most important questions will ‘come out’ soon. 


“What’s your name?” she asked. 


Smiling quietly, he answered, “I’m Kwon Jiyong, dear and here is all the answer that you wanted to know about us” he passed her the purple notebook.


There begins another day of Kwon Jiyong, the forgotten lover, of his amnesic fiancée, Min Sunye.






.: Author's Note :.
So here goes, chapter 1, what do all of you think? Btw, sorry, if I took some time to post chapter 1. Actually, I intended to post it two weeks ago but GD’s infamous case was ‘hot’ at that time so I postpone it. Also, I will like to apologize because I can’t make personal replies to all (been getting busier lately) but I will like to thank all of you who read and reply to this story. I’ll try to make time to reply all of you in the next chapter, till then, take care.
