My Lover Bastard

Chapter 27

"It's okay, Yuna. Don't force yourself." The same man whom I saw the moment I opened my eyes approached me. He said... No, even my girls said that he is my fiancée. Fiancée? Since when did I start dating and I am getting married already?

I couldn't bear to look at his face as he is just like a complete stranger to me, but a stranger who knows my name.

"Yes unnie, it is just temporary, give yourself some time to heal. You are still weak." Yewon added in, patting on my arm to sooth me down.

How come... why can't I remember anything?

"Excuse me," a nurse knocked on the ward door that was left open. "It's time for Ms Choi to go for her brain scans." She instructed, when a few more nurses crowded around my bed to help me onto a wheelchair.

"Don't be afraid, Yuna. We are all here." The same man squatted in front of my wheelchair, patting on my knees to reassure me. I don't know him, I couldn't even remember his name, but somehow I am not feeling extremely uncomfortable when he is around.

After a long day of checks and scans, I felt dizzier than ever. It felt like I have lost track of time all these while and I completely have no grasp of what is happening outside of this little world of mine in the hospital.

I was carefully brought back to my ward and there was only him left. He was sitting by the couch, his right hand pinching the bridge of his nose, keeping his eyes closed. He immediately shot up from his seat when he heard the commotion of me entering.

"Mr Jeon, we will have to wait for the scan results before we can further access Ms Choi's situation. We will keep you posted." The nurse who pushed me back, explained to him.

Mr Jeon? Why doesn't this surname ring any bell?

"Are you hungry? I will get you some food from the canteen since the meal distribution routine is over." He hovered over me, covering the blanket over my shoulders gently.

"You are Mr Jeon?" I cautiously asked, very softly. From the interaction with the girls and the nurses, it felt as if he is really someone important to me. It felt so exhausting to keep trying to recall bits and pieces about him and the group of guys that were here just now.

He clearly stunned for a few seconds, as if he was trying to compose himself to stay calm before he nodded. "I am Jeon Jungkook." But I could only look at him blankly. Jeon Jungkook...?

"I will get you some food. Rest a bit first. It must have been a tiring day for you." He brushed me off and left hurriedly.

Jungkook POV

I splashed water all over my face to keep myself refreshed. Stay strong, Jeon Jungkook. You are not someone who will be defeated by this. She will recover, Choi Yuna will recover.

I stared at myself through the washroom mirror, repeatedly rubbing cold water onto my face to keep me wide awake to face the reality. She really can't remember me? But we were together for more than two years counting three. It can't be that she can't remember a single thing about me. Please, Choi Yuna, don't do this to me.

She had been quite defensive towards me since she was taking me as a complete stranger now. She hesitated when I wanted to help her up, she flinched when I was trying to hold her. She would rather the nurse or her girls assist her. But I am the one who is supposed to protect you, Choi Yuna. It should be me...

Now, I could only step aside and watch her every single motion.

"Jungkook ah." I was leaning on the walls outside her ward when Yuna's father approached me with a cup of coffee. "I am sorry that our family has caused so much trouble for you." He patted my head, again. That one action that could easily crash me down during times like this. It felt like he knows exactly how I feel, the warmth transmitted from his hand. That same heartfelt feeling that I never once experienced from my own dad.

"Please don't say that, Uncle Choi. Just like how you don't wish I apologise for not taking good care of Yuna, please don't apologise to me. I am ready to wait till she recovers. I know she will."

Author POV

"Unnie, he really is your fiancée. You two were enemies initially." Eunmin was peeling oranges skin while trying to make Yuna recall about Jungkook.

"You were so blissful when you called us to let us know about your engagement, Yuna ah. We were all happy for you." Aunt Choi chipped in.

"He looked so foreign. I can't remember that I was dating and not to mention, getting married. I am confused, umma. This is not right." Yuna hasn't been able to sleep well because of all her late-night thoughts. This man, who was here every single day without fail, taking care of everything. Even her family members' stay in Seoul was well taken care of by him. She searched through her handphone and there were countless photographs with him. She was smiling joyfully in every photo.

"Is there something wrong with me? I can't be forgetting such an important person in my life." She had been panicking, working very hard to recall even the slightest detail about this man.

"Don't worry, unnie. Even the doctor said we will have to wait for the results, alright. It is just temporary." Eunmin consoled her elder sister, popping a slice of orange into her mouth. "Everything's will be alright."

Everything's been crazy lately in my life, but I guess that is what we have to face while growing up. Hope everyone have a good night!
