Empty (Punch sequel)

Part 10

It was Jimin.

She smiled to her phone while Jungkook's face fell. He looked away, closing his eyes tightly. He didn't want to see her smiling just by seeing his name over her phone.

"Jimin." Minyoung answered. She sounded cheerful, like Minyoung who he used to know, who used to know him.

Jungkook couldn't stand listening to her small conservation with Jimin and stood up to leave.

Before he could step one step away, a hand reached for his shirt holding tightly on it. Jungkook's heart almost stopped at the action. He turned and looked at Minyoung, she wasn't looking at him, but holding on to him, not letting go of him.

"Okay, see you." Minyoung ended the call and sighed.

She titled her head backward to look up at confused jungkook who was standing in front of her. She let go of him and made herself to her foot. Jungkook gave her a little help by holding her arm, at which she smiled back at him and thanked him.

"I think you are wrong, Jungkook."

Jungkook raised his eyebrow at her, but said nothing. So, Minyoung continued, "I'm sure you have some memories with your girlfriend that you cherish. I don't know what happened between you two, but I think that she does the same. Forgetting... Isn't the cure for the pain?"

Jungkook looked away. He bit his lips so he wouldn't say something stupid. She was the one who didn't remember anything. She really didn't understand anything.

"You don't know how important something is to you, until you lose it, they say." Minyoung took a step closer to him. "So I'll try my best to remember even if those things hurt. I will figure out who I'm. I want to remember those people who made me smile in the past."

Gulping, Jungkook looked at her and flashed her a small smile. His hand reached up, aching to touch her, but he couldn't. It loosened beside him as he clenched them hard.

"I hope you do." Jungkook said, clearing his throat. "Good luck, Minyoung."

"Thank you, Jungkook." She smiled at him. "Good luck with your training."

"Hmmm." He nodded, before turning to leave.

Waiting his back while he was walking away, made Minyoung's heart heavy. She wished to stay with him longer and talk more. Jungkook was someone she wanted to refill her memories with.

He was a good friend. A really good friend.

When she reached home, she dragged Jimin with her to her room.

Closing the door behind them, she turned to find Jimin looking at her with eyebrows raised and a smirk on his face.

"What is it?" He said and Minyoung rolled her eyes, snorting.

"Not what you think about."

"And what do I think about?" He teased her and leaned closer.

"This." Minyoung surprised him when she placed a butterfly kiss, so soft and so quick on his lips.

He had to blink many times before backing away, cheeks flushed with hot red blood. He looked at Minyoung and saw how red her cheeks was too.

"Stop staring at me and sit down." Minyoung turned, fanning herself with her hand before opening the window in her room.

Jimin had to gulp down. His throat was dry and he needed water at the moment. He really liked it that he couldn't stop thinking about it.

"You said that you would help me." Minyoung said, grabbing a chair and sat in front of him.
