13th Midnight: - I rememb (1/1)

As I run, I can see Hana standing in front of a stunned Hyun Ae. I don't know how the hell I'm going to lie and say I see nobody when she'll ask me about her. Her fucking hair is red for god's sake! I must be blind to not notice her!I speed up before Hyun Ae breaks down on the floor or turn into dust. I'm so damn scared of that... I just want to grab her and keep her between my arms so she couldn't go anywhere away from me. So she has to stay here, by my side until I can hold onto her anymore. And that day would be the day that I'll be dead.Just before I bump into Hana, she turns around to face me with a grin of pure satisfaction and mutters "I never thought I'd be this happy to see your face" and disappears just in time so It looks like I never knew there was someone standing right at that spot.- What the hell were you thinking in, huh!? - I shake her by her shoulders, her body is ice.- I'm a horrible person... - she whispers - I left him behind... - she looks into my eyes now - Just because I was scared... I left him alone...- Who? - I cup her face between my hands, trying to calm her down.- My father...She frowns, trying to keep the tears from falling. But It's useless. They fall anyway, burning her skin and my hands. Even If she's cold as ice, her tears aren't. I don't know If It's because they portrait her deep feelings or what but they are warm. The same as her cheeks now.Since It seems I can make her feel better giving up my warm to her, I pull her closer and surround her with my arms, hugging her so tight that I might leave her breathless. She doesn't care since she tries to be even closer, with her arms around my waist, burying her face on my chest. For some reason, I don't need her to explain it to me, I get it all. The way she reacted when she saw Hara hit Hyun A, the fact that the remembers her father in such a gloomy way... She ran away from something because she was scared... The old Hyun Ae was a coward and she's disppointed on herself after finding it out.- Let's go home first, you are freezing - I rub her back.- Don't leave me go... - she mutters.- I won't... - I kiss her forehead - Here - I bent down and offer her my back.She feels to weak to regret it so she rests her chest on my back and her head on my shoulder as she places her arms around my neck. I pick us up and start to lead to the car. She's more light than I thought that's why I hold onto her even tighter, scared that she might disappear any time soon. ~) Hyun Ae's POV (~Junhyung holds onto my legs so tight that It hurts a bit. But I don't care, as long I can be this close to him and his warm back... I care about nothing. I feel safe, protected, loved... So much... That It makes sweet and healing memories come back to me... ~ Flashback ~- Yah! School girl!- Ahjussi! - I whisper - You can't talk so loud in a library~!- I know, you brat! - he chuckles - I've been working here before you were born.- And, ahjussi, don't call me school girl - I pout - I'll be a high school student soon.- Really? You grew up so much - he laughs.- Then... I'll get going, I've so much to study for my last exams - I sigh.- Yah! School girl~! - he whispers - You can't sit where you always do!- Wae-yo? - I blink confused.- Someone stole your seat - he points to a guy that wears a high school uniform.- Well... I can sit somewhere else - I shrug - I'm going.I arrange my spectacles and walk toward the same table the guy sits. I can't see his face since he leans his head lazily on his hand with his elbow on the table, focused on writing with his right hand. I pass him by and leave my things on the big table, at the end of the room, next to the window. Now that I'm on this side, I can see his face. He's handsome. He has cute cheeks and piercing eyes, plump lips and dark hair.A notebook and his pen, there's nothing else on the table beside his phone and his iPod so I suppose he isn't sudying. He keeps making gestures with his fingers, as he follows some kind of rhythm. He notices that I'm staring at him and looks up right into my direction. I blush bright red and look away, finally taking a seat.I try to ignore the presence of the guy but I can't, so I keep stealing glances at him when he doesn't notice.- What I'm doing!? - I mutter to myself.I hide my face between my hands and ruffle my hair angrily as I try to keep his image away from my thoughts. But someone takes care of it, tapping the table with his index finger on the table.- Oi! - he taps again.- Huh? - I look up at the person standing in front of me, on the other side of the table.- Would you stop staring? - he sighs - I can't concetrate.- I wasn't staring... - I stutter - Your uniform... - Wae? Mwoh!? - he gets tired of me babbling.- I-I'll go to the same high school soon... so... - I blink - I was checking on it.- Checking on me, you mean - he smirks.- Huh... - I nod and then realise what he just said - Ani! It's not like that.- It's ok, ducky - he ruffles my hair - This sunbae-to-be will see you wearing our uniform then.- Ducky? - I tilt my head to the side, watching him walk away.Since then, I went to the same library as I have been doing all this time but I never saw him again.oOoA month later, I got the best grades in school on my exams so I get choose whatever high school I want. Obviously, I chose that guy's but not for him, I wanted to go there from the beginning since It was really near home and I won't have to wake up so early. It was a great school anyway.On my first day, being late and having the good luck I have, I bump into the bully of school and fall on the ground hard. I look up to meet with the fierce eyes of the guy and the evil grins on his friends' face.- Ah~! - I whine - I'm really sorry, I was late and I didn't see you.- Who the fuck do you think you are!? - the guy grabs my arm harshly and picks me up from the ground, shaking me.- I'm really sorry! I-I... - I can't talk since he keeps tightening his grip on my arm.- This ugly girl! - he hisses - How you dare-... !?- Yah! Jung Min-ah! - someone calls from behind me when he's about to hit me - It's too early in the morning and It's her first day, leave her alone for now. We're in front of school. I'll deal with her later.- Junhyung... - he chuckles - Arasso, all yours.He pushes me and my back hits someone's chest, hands on my shoulders, keeping me on my own two feet. I stay right there, trembling, watching how the group walks inside the building, leaving me alone with the person named Junhyung.- Hi, ducky.I throw my head back by instinct, trying to look up at the person who just called me with that familiar nickname. I had a lot of nicknames: ugly, nerd, miss goody two-shoes, swot,... but never ducky. So, there's no way I could forget the person who called me that name.- You...- I knew you will get into trouble as soon as you came here - he chuckles, I still stand against his body.- You're with them! - I finally move aside.- I just saved your butt - he frowns pissed - You must be thankful.- Thanks, It won't happen again - I state and bow.Going back home, I noticed we take the same way. He asked me If I was following him but I explained him that I lived in that neighborhood. He laughed and told me he lives there too. Since that moment, even If something inside me told me to avoid him, that he was on the bad side, to run away as far as possible... I couldn't keep my heart from falling for him. I kept looking for him at school, watching from afar, trying to find out things about him...The friend of the bullies but isn't a bad guy. Who goes to the library but doesn't study. The guy who writes beautiful lyrics and has a dream to become a singer and keeps it as a secret. Who fakes to be someone he isn't just to hide his true feelings... someone about to lose himself...oOoWe didn't talk to each other at school, neither when we walked back home. I tried to go earlier than everyone so I won't get bullied again or hide in the library until late so everyone at school was gone.But, one day, that failed...I stayed until late studying for my exams but, once I came out, they were waiting for me at the front gate. And Junhyung was with them...- Look who we have here~! - the guy named Jung Min sings, poking my shoulder with his index finger - Ugly agasshi, you have been hiding from us, huh? We couldn't find you anywhere and give you a gift.I keep backing until I hit the wall, not daring to look up as I stay quiet, my lips sealed.- What's wrong with you, huh? The cat ate your tongue or what, huh!? - he grabs my face with his hands really hard.- L-Leave me go... - I mutter, just a whisper. I don't want him to see me cry.- This girl got some guts since we left her alone for a while, huh? - he smirks.- Stop it, I'm hungry - Junhyung grabs his arm and makes him let go of my face, standing beside me - Let's go.- Why do you butt into everytime I have issues with this bitch, huh? - he snaps - Do you like her?- Hell no! - he smirks, as my heart breaks into pieces - But If you always pick up on her you will break your toy.- It's so, huh? - he hisses again - I don't give a fuck!I close my eyes as I see his tight fist flying right to my face. But soon, a arm wraps around my shoulders and makes me fall to the ground before Jung Min hits me. I fall on something soft, Junhyung's body.Somehow, he pushed both of us to the side as Jung Min hit his hand on the wall. To my bad luck, my body fell on Junhyung's arm, supporting all my weight there.- Are you ok!? - I try to help him get up.- Run, you babo-ah! - he yells at me.I forget about the guy hissing in pain because he hit his hand on the wall and help the one on the ground to stand up. Then, we both run away from there, leading to our neighboorhood at full speed. I've always been good at running since I was in the baseball team but Junhyung...- Junhyung... - I find myself calling him by his name.- Yah! - he points at me, panting - Junhyung!?- Huh! - I open my eyes widely - I mean... Sunbae-nim!- Wae? Mwoh!?- Should we go to the hospital? - I frown worried.- You go home, I'll take care of myself.- But-...- Go home! Next day, at school, I saw him with his left arm in a cast. And reality hit me like a big rock on my head. More harshly that Jung Min's hands on my face, more hurtful than these hateful words I heard everyday...When I saw his eyes staring at me, when I finally realised that I was just a nuisance to everyone... Like a coward, that day, I decided that I'd leave this place... "m style="font-size:14px;font-family:georgia, serif;">I'd leave dad alone and go to the states with mom". Even If I wanted to stay with him so badly. Even when I knew I'll miss this place so much, even when I knew I was in love with Junhyung... Fear gripped me so strong, keeping me blind from anything else beside myself and how I scared I was.But, before leaving... I have something else to do...~ End of the flashback ~ I wake up from my daze still on Junhyung's back, trying to keep my tears quiet so he won't notice it. That's why, I bury my face between my arm and his neck, breathing his perfume, Junhyung's natural scent. My heart beating fast and uneven just by the thought that I recalled him, feeling so bad just because I can't find myself telling him the truth. Feeling he has to find it by himself, that he has to remember me too.Something, someone's voice, Hyun Ae's voice, telling me to stay still, to embrace this moment and smile. Smile for him, smile for this moment and smile for the future, even If I don't remember everything about myself just yet... To keep the faith, to make him happy and give him my all. To be thankful......I remember you. ~) Junhyung's POV (~- Junhyung... - she whispers my name, her voice muffled on my neck.- H-Huh...- Thanks.- For what?- For being by my side at that moment...- Babo,  of course I'll come and find you - I chuckle - You thought I'll leave you go alone, huh?- And sorry.- Wae? - I try to turn my head and look at her sideway.- Because you got hurt because of me.- Mwoh? - I frown - I'm better than you right now, you know?- And, Junhyung...- Wae? Mowh!?- I love you.I stop right on my track as my brain tries to process her words. These three cheesy but deep words. With such a meaning but I don't know about it, more deep than I can remember. These three words I haven't been able to say since a long time ago. Three words that can destroy my entire world.- Hyun Ae... I...- I don't care, I don't need your love but your warmth.I leave her stand on her feet and turn around to face her, watching her slight smile with a hint of sadness on her eyes.- What is that suppose to mean? - I frown.- I can love you by myself, you just have to be by my side.- Get a hold of yourself - I shake her by her shoulders a bit - Where is your pride, huh?- Pride? - she smirks - Park Hyun Ae took good care erasing it from me.- Babo... - I mutter - I like you.Before she could say more nonsense, I pull her closer and give her a breathless kiss, trying to put all my feelings into it. If I had to put my feelings into actions she won't come out of my room in a week, I'll make her mine in all the ways possible, I'll assure her that she doesn't belongs anywhere else but my side. That, even If It's the last thing I do, I'll remember her....I'll remember you.oOoSince that day, she has been acting a bit weird. And I know why. She recalled something else beside all the things she told me about running away with her mom to the states. She didn't tell me why she wanted to run away so I felt it was suspicious but I said nothing since I know she wants to keep it from me for some reason.And I'm here, going crazy as I try to think about something that makes any sense into this story, staring at her notebook. She went to work and left it behind in my car and It keeps mocking at me, telling me to read it.She has been writing on it a lot that's why now I more curious. But It'd be something really dirty, looking into her personal thougths so... I have to hold back myself with all my will. But I'm curious and worried. What is that she has to hide from me anyway, huh?Frustrated, I pick it up from her seat and attempt to keep it safe on my bag when I see her name written on the cover. Park Hyun Ae... But It's not her name what surprised me but her handwriting. It's so familiar...- Fuck!I take out Hana's book and check on it to confirm my hunch. I open it, my hands shaking and my eyes going crazy over the words written there. It's the same... I take out my phone and dial Hyun Jin's number.- Hyung! Move your ass to my house as soon as possible!- Wae? What is wrong?- Fuck! - I hiss again, hitting the wheel - I'm telling you to come!- Arasso! Calm down, huh?- Hyung... - I get off and walk in the house, about to break down - It's urgent.- I'll be there in 10 minutes, huh? - he tries to sound calm - Just wait for me. ~) Hyun Ae's POV (~- Unnie~! - Kyung Mi calls me.- Here I am - I smile brightly.Since last time she keeps eying me, asking me If I feeling well and If I'm having some problems with Junhyung, blah blah blah... That's why I try to look the best in front of her so she won't go panic mode on.- Can you please close the shop for me? - she pouts.- Wae? You don't feel well? - I ask really concerned.- Ani - she smiles - Dongwoon will come to pick me up earlier so we can visit his parents.- Of course, I'll hand the sample book for you too - I smile - Go ahead.- Are you sure to go by yourself? Doojoon came and Mi Ri unnie's gone too - she pouts again.- You'll get wrinkles If you keep pouting like that - I pinch her cheek.- How is that Junhyung sunbae didn't come too? - she tilts his head to the side.- Maybe he locked himself in the studio and forgot about the time again - I chuckle.- Unnie~! - she whimpers.- Go already! - I push her a bit - I'll be ok.- Arasso! - she sticks out her tongue - I'll see you tomorrow.As soon as she leaves I feel something odd in the room, shivers running down my spine as a cold breeze passes through the my body. I try to shrug it off and walk inside to tidy up before closing. but...- Long time no see.I turn around to meet a person standing right in front of me, looking at me with piercing stares and a wide smile on her face.- Hana? - I frown - You look... different.- It's long to explain it all - she sighs - First, we have to get rid of someone.- Who... ?- Just do as I say and close this shop right now, he's about to turn around the corner and he'll see the shop's still open.- Who!? - I start to get a bet pissed at her.- Park Hyun Ae! Do you want to turn into dust!? - she grabs my wrist tightly."Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright... You'll make it"- You... I... - I blink confused.- That's right, dear - she strokes my cheek, the same way she did at that time.- Why did I... ? - I blink confused - Where is that?- You don't have to remember that yet, as you don't have to meet that guy... yet - she states.- Why I do I feel like I can't tell some things to Junhyung? - I hold onto her arm.- Because he has to remember you by himself and you know it - she smiles, squeezing my hand gently.- I don't know what to do...- You don't need to, just leave it up to her - she winks - She knows what to do.- She? - I frown confused.- I have to go now - she pats my shoulder - Do as I told you and go straight home. Next time, when It's time,...- I won't tell who I am to that person.- Smart girl - she ruffles my hair and waves her hand to me - See you~!Now, I know what I have to do, what I need to know... What I have to ask. And there's only one person that can answer to that now. I know who that person is... That person......It's me... ~) Junhyung's POV (~I sit on the couch with my head resting on my hands as Hyun Jin hyung keeps looking at both notebooks and checking If what I saw It's right.- So... you are telling me... Hyun Ae's the owner of this book? - he frowns.- You saw the same I did... - I sigh - The handwriting is the same.- That's why she told me not to show it to her...- Who told you that?- Hana... that she can't see the book, her book...- Why not!? That might help her retrieve her memories!- The book got messed up the same as her memories, It won't be of any help. Beside... - I frown again.- Beside... What?- If she remembers everything too quick, not at the right moment, and with her body still missing...- She can die? - he frowns too.- She'll fade away... - I rub my temples.- Oh... - Hyun Jin hyung scratches the back of his neck awkwardly - Then, we have to find it right away.There's something missing and I know it. Something I have been trying to remember since a while ago. Something important, related to the midnight...- Midnight... Until the last midnight... - I mutter and jump off the couch - Oh shit!- Wae wae wae!? What is wrong?- Hana! - I find myself screaming her name, going back and forth - Move your ass here... RIGHT NOW!- What is wrong with you!? - hyung shakes me by my shoulders.- "I don't know If this happened for good but I'll go on until The Last Midnight"... She wrote that! - I ruffle my hair angrily.- I don't get what the hell are you talking about!- She has a fucking time limit!- Mwoh!?- If I don't find her body and save her on time......I'll lose her... ________oOo_______Short but intense, right? *Sigh*Things are getting complicate, right? ='(I hope everyone gets what It's going on.
