*JIN POV*
It was morning. I rolled on the bed forgetting I had someone else on the bed with me. Her groans made me become conscious of my surrounding again. "Good morning." Anna greeted, rubbing her eyes. "Morning," I replied. "Here." I flung the map at her. "Ouch," she groaned. "Check out our location for the day," I said, and moved closer so I could catch a glimpse of the outside.
*ANNA POV*
This idol is mean. This idol is so mean. Mel said he's going through hard times maybe that's why. I thought. He moved closer to catch a glimpse of the outside, but stopped abruptly with a shocked expression on his face. He stared deep into my eyes, then his eyes moved down to my face. You, you, ....he stammered. What happened to your face? He asked, pointing to the scar on my forehead.
Ahh that? I said, touching the scar on my forehead. Mom said I had an accident, but I can't really recollect anything, I explained. And your eyes, they look very familiar, like that of someone whom I have been with for so long. He continued, staring deep into my eyes.
I was really scared now. Was it why he gave me that stare on my first day at school? Does it mean the accident really wasn't an accident, but a narrow escape? Many thoughts kept flooding my mind. Tension filled the air.
He moved away and went outside and I exhaled deeply. This is surely the beginning of my mystery.
*JIN POV*
The memories kept flooding in. They kept playing over and over again and kept ringing bells in my ears. Wait!
Just stop!
Watch out!
Bang!
Gunshot.
I screamed out, holding my head.
*ANNA POV*
I heard a thud not far from where we were occupying then I remembered Jin went out. I rushed out. I met him in a very bad state. Just stop! Is this how you're gonna leave me? He kept screaming at unseen person while holding his head.
I didn't know when I knelt down and took him in my embrace. He hugged me tightly. For the first time, I saw him cry and was moved to the extent of my emotions betraying me. It's okay, I assured, rubbing his back.
LATER IN THE DAY✓✓
*JIN POV*
I woke up and felt a sharp pain in my head then I realized what had transpired between us earlier in the day. I ruffled my hair and sat up on the bed. Anna walked in and as soon as she saw I was awake, she breathed a sigh of relief. "How do you feel now?" she asked as she sat next to me. "A little bit…ummm…" I groaned. "You just have to rest more." She paused. "Jin."She called and looked away, avoiding eye contact with me. Can you explain what happened between us the other time? She asked.
Not your business.
I shot.
Please.
(Scoffs)
She took a deep breath and said, I might be of help.
Silence.....
Well, I cleared my throat. It all started when I was twelve. I had a crush and... Do I need to tell you this? I said coldly.
I could be your therapist, you know. She said purely. To hell with any therapist. She never said the word again. She just stood up and turned to go.
*ANNA POV*
Maybe it's too dark, maybe it's hard to be expressed. I thought in my heart. She was bright just like you. His words came shattering my thoughts and stopping me in my tracks. We spent most of our times together till I was seventeen and we started dating. He continued, it was wonderful and best moment ever not until one day a vehicle trailed our own vehicle and attacked my girlfriend.
She was...she was shot in the head. He said between emotions. I had taken my place next to him just to listen to his tale. I could see sad emotions hitting the walls of his face to let them out. I was helpless during those periods. The doctor said she had lost her memories and it would take a long time before she can recover it. I wonder where she will be now because we relocated.
Mom said I lost my mind for two months. I didn't know when I embraced him. He held onto me tightly like a child. Suddenly, he pulled out of the hug. Go get the map. We've got to study our next move. He said as his cold attitude returned.
This idol can be unpredictable........
