Recursion | Minghao x Reader

Chapter 18

"Yes! It is nothing.. Ah look at the clock, the stores will close, we should hurry"

I laugh nervously.

"Yeah I guess.."

He mutters and let go of me, I know he will question me again later.

"Noodles, rice, kiwi, bananas, coconut milk, pineapples, tomatoes, oregano.. Only these?"

He says as he split the list I made him and puts it in his pocket.

"Is it okay for me to take some cherries? I know you are allergic"

He comes closer and puts his hands around me, going for a kiss on my cheek.

"Sure, take whatever you like"

I say and kiss him back.

"Minghao.."

I grabbed him while his hand was on the door's handle.

"What was I wearing the day we met?"

I said without looking at him.

"Eh, what kind of question is this?"

He awkwardly smiled as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Is she testing me?" he thought.

The boy tried to remember their first day but he couldn't. He couldn't remember a date, a location, nothing. But so did the girl as well.

"I think.. I don't remember"

He laughed and scratched the back of his head.

"Why are you asking?"

"I was just wondering, because I can not remember either"

She laughed too, trying to make it seem as an innocent thought that crossed her mind with no reason.

"You should go"

She said and let go of his arm.

"See you in a while"

He opened the door and stepped outside. She stayed there, lost in her thoughts, trying to remember.

She did not even remember how she got there. What was she doing a week ago?

Minghao, who was he actually? She loved him but the more she was trying to remember the more she realised she didn't know anything about him. They even had a child.

That's right. What about their child? Memories of giving birth to it, the pain between her legs, breastfeeding it (were like Minghao's butt, haha sorry) didn't exist . She felt so dizzy, she covered her face and side of her head with both of her hands.

He opens the garden's door and steps outside the garden.

Why would she question something like this out of the blue? She earlier seemed very skeptical, she froze two times and wasn't moving nor talking.

The problem is, he kept trying to remember that day..
Their first day, how could he forget something that was so important to him?

The only thing that mattered to him more than anything was her and their child, yet he felt as if she was a stranger.

He might know what happened a week ago but his memories start only from there actually.

How he met her, how they got married, the day Kermit was born.. But what about his own childhood?

His eyes went blank, he kept walking on the street, his hands were just hanging. He looked like a robot that got fake memories implanted into him.

"Ah no!"

Hana screamed and almost kneeled on the floor. Pictures of an unknown woman filled her mind. A woman that looked very familiar, yet she seemed evil and her eyes made Hana upset, they were blank but she was smiling.

Pictures of a white car appearing next to her, glass shattering in a cafeteria, man in black holding guns.

A boy wearing a hoodie.

These memories seemed very old, they were not from the near past. But were they actually her memories, or just visions?

She didn't feel as if she was participating in these but the views were from someone else's eyes.

The shape of the boy's body looked exactly like Minghao's.
His legs, his height. But she couldn't see his face, it was blurry and dark.

There was one more guy, but he was standing in the distance, there was nothing she could recognize in him.

She snapped out of it and got her eyes wide opened.

"I think I know"

She whispered to herself and ran out of the door that Minghao had previously opened.

She grabbed the garden's door, she was in a hurry, it looked like she would forget what she wanted to say if she was late even a second.

She looked on her right, Minghao was walking away, he was in the end of the road.

She made a huge step, ready to sprint all her way to him but she got interrupted by a white car passing by from her left, almost in front of her.
She stepped back, cutting her speed and looked with anger in her eyes at the driver.

The driver, surprisingly, looked at her too.
They made eye contact that seemed to her as if it lasted for minutes.
He smirked as he took his eyes away, back on the street.

She froze, she opened her mouth, her jaw hanging.

Millions of pictures of this guy filled her head again, making her dizzy for a second.

She knew him very well.

She turned her head to keep up with the car when she saw it was heading towards Minghao.

Everything happened so fast.

Minghao didn't even realise a car was behind him, he seemed as if he was dreaming in his own world but actually there was nothing he could think of at that moment.

At first he felt pressure behind his knees, making him fall on them.
Then, in just half a second his back was crushed into million of pieces, it hurted so much.
It was so fast, he turned around and the other side of his was being crushed under the car's tires.
