Last Date

Jungkook was rushing to get to his cafe date with Jimin, because he was an hour late. He spent last night finishing his homework quickly so he could get some sleep, but ended up getting only 3 hours in the morning. He picked out a random pair of jeans and a black tee and raced out of his apartment. He jumped into his Volvo and drove over the speed limit, just so Jimin wouldn't have to wait too long.

He was about to speed into the parking, which was only a few meters away, but he didn't notice the speed bumper and the car toppled over.

Jimin looked outside the moment he heard a huge crashing noise outside. He rushed over after seeing Jungkook's Volvo. With a lot of difficulty, he dragged Jungkook out of the car. "Can any of you please call an ambulance? Thank you!" He yelled at the useless crowd.

An ambulance reached the scene after ten minutes, by that time Jungkook's face was already plastered with blood. Shards of glass poked into the skin of his hands, some on his neck. Jimin felt the urge to remove those shards, but he thought he rather wait for the professionals, so as to not hurt him.

A bunch of nurses jumped out of the ambulance with a stretcher. They put Jungkook on the stretcher and asked Jimin to tag along as the only evident "relative".

They reached the hospital. Jimin walked alongside Jungkook's stretcher, continuously whispering "You'll be fine", hoping Jungkook could hear him. When they reached the operation room, they asked Jimin to wait outside. Jimin tried negotiating to let him stay, but the nurse refused, saying it was for safety reasons.

After an hour, a doctor walked out of the operation room and called for Jimin. Jimin got up immediately and walked over to him. "How is he?" Jimin asked, with obvious panic in his large brown eyes. The doctor observed his face for a minute and replied, "He's okay. He needs to stay here for two days, and then he can be discharged." Jimin knew there was something else that the doctor was hesitating to say, noticing the doctor's eyes diverting. "Anything else, doctor?" "Umm, he has....lost a lot of his important memories. He still knows who he is and the people in his life, but he doesn't remember his connection with them." "Oh, okay... Can I go in now?" "Sure." "Thank you, doctor." "It's my job, no need." The doctor walked away with a polite smile, leaving a shocked Jimin behind.

Jungkook was always an orphan, he basically got kicked out of his orphanage when he reached twenty. He somehow managed to get into a good university. He met Jimin when he was a Junior and Jimin was about to graduate. Jimin, luckily for Jungkook, stayed in Seoul and worked as a part-time in the cafe he set their date in.

Jimin went inside Jungkook's hospital room.
