THE KING'S CURSED BRIDE S2 (TaeKook) Don't you remember me

Previously

After sometime, Jung kook opened the door

He was standing at the doorway, his expression unreadable. His eyes briefly scanned the room, Taehyung was sitting up in the bed, Jimin glaring protectively from the chair, the IV still in Taehyung's hand

He stepped in as if he was standing behind the door moments ago

As if he hadn't heard anything Taehyung and Jimin said

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

You are awake*flatly*

His voice was cold, distant, but not cruel, just...numb and mechanical, like he was reading a company memo

Taehyung's mouth parted, but he struggled to find words

His heartbeat pounded in his ears, his husband...no, this man in front of him, was still a strange

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

You didn't have to come, he is fine

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

*glance Jimin briefly* He is my employee, I would reflect badly if I didn't check

"Employee"

That word hit Taehyung harder than the desk he had fainted on

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

You carried me here...*softly*

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

You were unconscious, I couldn't just leave you there, HR would have had heart attack

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

Right, HR...

He looked down, his fingers tightening around the blanket

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

" he really doesn't remember"

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

Don't come back to work until the doctor clears you, and don't faint again in my office

It was said like scolding...but there was a flicker of something else in his tone, something caught between concern and discomfort

Jungkook turned to leave, hand already on the door

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

Do you really not remember me at all*quietly*

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

*stopped* We have known each other for six months, Mr Kim

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

I have never remembered anyone I barely know. And let's keep work professional from now own

like that Jung kook walked out

the door closed gently behind him

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

*stood and sit beside him* Are you okay?

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

He doesn't remember, but something in him...it hesitated*whisper*

Jimin said nothing, he just placed a comforting hand over Taehyung's

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

He called me Mr Kim, he looked at me like I was a stranger...but his eyes weren't cold, just scared

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

Scared?

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

Yes, like something inside him wanted to remember...but he is terrified of what it means

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

I guess I should ask the doctors to scan your head

Kim Taehyung/ RO/ MC

*look at the door* I'm going to remind him, even if I have to make him fall in love with me all over again*mumble*

Park Jimin/ Beta/ Tae's BFF

You are not the Taehyung, I know*mumble*

With Jungkook

Jung kook walked down the hospital corridor with calm steps, but his fists were clenched at his side

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

"my husband"

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

he wanted to resign, just six months after work and now I'm his husband*muttering*

his head throbbed, a memory on the tip of his consciousness

the sound of someone screaming

The scent of blood and strawberries

A pair of trembling hands holding him

" Don't leave me, please don't don't go"

Jungkook/ DA/ ML

*pause and press his fingers to his temple* Tch... just a headache

but inside... a crack had formed

Like something warm and ancient was trying to break free

~bye bye~
