"Lost in Love: A Memory Between Us"

💗💗💗💗

The soft hum of the hospital monitors filled the quiet room. Taehyung sat beside the hospital bed, his fingers hesitantly brushing against the cold hand resting on the white sheets. His heart clenched painfully as he looked at the man lying unconscious before him—Jeon Jungkook.

It had been three days since the accident. Three days since Jungkook had lost all memories of their past together.

Taehyung's grip tightened on Jungkook’s hand as memories of their love flashed through his mind. The late-night cuddles, the heated kisses, the way Jungkook would whisper "mine" possessively against his skin—it was all gone from Jungkook's mind. But not from Taehyung's heart.

A knock on the door made Taehyung look up. Jin and Jimin stepped inside, their faces filled with worry.

"How is he?" Jimin asked softly, placing a comforting hand on Taehyung’s shoulder.

"Still the same," Taehyung murmured, his voice laced with exhaustion. "He doesn’t remember me, Jimin. He doesn’t even recognize me…"

Jin sighed, sitting on the other side of the bed. "Give him time, Taehyung. Maybe his memories will come back."

"But what if they don’t?" Taehyung’s voice cracked, his fingers trembling as he held onto Jungkook’s hand. "What if… he never remembers us?"

Before anyone could respond, a soft groan came from the bed. Taehyung's eyes widened as Jungkook's fingers twitched, his head turning slightly.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung whispered, his heart pounding.

Jungkook’s dark eyes slowly fluttered open, filled with confusion. He looked around the room, his gaze landing on Jin and Jimin before finally settling on Taehyung.

"Who…" Jungkook's voice was hoarse. "Who are you?"

The words felt like a dagger piercing through Taehyung's heart. He swallowed hard, forcing a trembling smile.

"I’m… I’m Taehyung."

Jungkook blinked, his brows furrowing. "Taehyung…" He tested the name on his tongue but shook his head. "I don’t remember you."

Taehyung felt the sting of tears but quickly blinked them away. "It’s okay," he said softly. "I’ll remind you."

Jin and Jimin exchanged worried glances but stayed silent. They knew how much Taehyung loved Jungkook. Walking away wasn’t an option for him.

Days passed, and Taehyung stayed by Jungkook’s side, helping him recover, telling him stories about their past, showing him pictures and videos. But Jungkook remained distant.

One night, as Taehyung helped Jungkook walk through the hospital corridor, their fingers accidentally brushed. Taehyung’s heart skipped a beat, but Jungkook immediately pulled his hand away.

"Don’t touch me," Jungkook said coldly.

Taehyung felt like he couldn’t breathe. "Jungkook, I—"

"Stop acting like we’re something more," Jungkook snapped, his eyes filled with frustration. "I don’t remember you, and I don’t feel anything for you."

Taehyung bit his lip, fighting back tears. He knew Jungkook wasn’t doing this on purpose, but it still hurt.

"Jungkook," Jin interrupted, his voice firm. "You may not remember, but you loved Taehyung more than anything. Give yourself a chance to know him again."

Jungkook clenched his jaw but said nothing.

That night, as Taehyung sat alone in the hospital room, staring at Jungkook’s sleeping form, he made a silent vow.

He would make Jungkook fall in love with him again—even if it took forever.
