Love's Memory ~ Hyunlix

*Hyunjin's POV*

As night descended and shrouded our dorm in darkness, an undeniable tension hung in the air. The threat from the mysterious caller loomed ominously, casting a long shadow over our once-happy home. Protecting Felix was our foremost concern, and we remained resolute, determined to unravel the truth.

Throughout the evening, we took shifts, ensuring that Felix was never left alone. His trust in me was unwavering, and he grasped the gravity of our situation, even if the details eluded us.

Chan took the lead in contacting JYP, and his return to our midst was marked by an aura of apprehension and determination. His expression conveyed the urgency of the situation, and he didn't mince words.

"I've informed JYP," Chan disclosed, his voice fraught with worry. "He's treating this seriously and has dispatched someone to assess the situation. Until then, we need to remain vigilant and keep Felix safe."

Felix nodded in agreement, his resolve unwavering. "We'll stay on guard," he affirmed, his voice steady despite the underlying anxiety.

As the night dragged on, we continued our watchful vigil, ensuring that Felix was protected at all times. Our once-happy dorm now felt like a fortress guarding against an enigmatic adversary.

Amidst the tension, a question simmered in Felix's mind. He turned to me, his eyes searching for answers. "Hyunjin," he began, his voice soft and laden with curiosity, "how did we... end up together?"

My heart ached at his words. Memories of our love, now lost to him, surged back with painful clarity. I took a deep breath, my voice quivering with emotion. "It was a long time ago," I began, my voice trembling with nostalgia. "We were inseparable friends who found refuge in each other's presence. We supported one another through every trial and tribulation, and our connection deepened with each passing day."

Felix listened intently, his gaze locked onto mine. "I wish I could remember," he admitted, his voice tinged with longing.

A bittersweet smile touched my lips as I reached out to gently stroke his cheek. "Even if your memories are gone, Felix," I reassured him, "our feelings are as real as ever. Love doesn't fade with the passage of time or the loss of memory."

Felix leaned into my touch, his eyes brimming with warmth and trust. "I trust you," he whispered softly, his voice carrying a fragile glimmer of hope.

In that fragile moment, bathed in the soft glow of our dorm room's dim lighting, the weight of our love and the gravity of our situation merged into an overwhelming ache. Our profound connection, born from countless shared moments, remained unbroken, even in the face of uncertainty and unanswered questions.

As the night pressed on, we kept our watchful guard, with Felix's safety as our paramount concern. Our love, hidden in the depths of his lost memories, became a poignant reminder that even amid the darkest uncertainties, we would always find our way back to one another.

Later, as we lay in the quiet darkness of our shared room, Felix's breaths soft and steady beside me, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. Our relationship had been built on a foundation of trust, shared experiences, and unspoken affection. I couldn't bear to see him suffer, not knowing the depth of our connection.

"Felix," I began, my voice a mere whisper, "do you ever wonder how we became so close?"

Felix shifted beside me, his gaze fixed on the ceiling as if he were contemplating the question. "Sometimes," he admitted, "it feels like we've known each other forever. Like we're connected in some inexplicable way."

I nodded in agreement, even though he couldn't see it in the darkness. "Our friendship," I explained, "it felt like destiny. We were drawn to each other, and our bond grew stronger with each passing day."

He turned to face me, his eyes searching mine in the dim light. "It's strange," he mused, "because even though I can't remember our past, being with you now feels...comfortable. It's like we're picking up where we left off."

My heart ached at his words, knowing that he couldn't possibly remember the depth of our relationship. I reached out to brush a strand of hair from his face, my fingers trembling with unspoken emotions. "Felix," I began, my voice breaking, "there's something I need to tell you."

He regarded me with curiosity, his eyes reflecting the dim light of the room. "What is it, Hyunjin?"

Taking a deep breath, I searched for the right words, my voice heavy with emotion. "I want to make you fall in love with me again," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper.

Felix's eyes widened in the darkness, his expression a mix of surprise and confusion. "Hyunjin, what do you mean?" he asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to find the right words. "I mean," I choked out, "I want to recreate those moments, those memories, that made us so close. I want to help you remember the love we shared, even if it means starting from scratch."

Felix's silence hung heavily in the air, and I feared that my confession had pushed him away. But then, in the dim light, I saw a tear glisten in the corner of his eye. "Hyunjin," he whispered, his voice trembling, "you're willing to do that for me? To help me remember?"

I nodded, my own tears falling freely now. "I love you, Felix," I said, my voice filled with sincerity, "and I'll do whatever it takes to help you remember the love we once shared."

In that moment, in the quiet darkness of our shared room, our love became a promise, a vow to rebuild what had been lost. And as we held each other in the stillness of the night, I knew that our journey to rediscover our love had only just begun.
