Chapter 6 : Reset

Third Person's Point of View.

"Did I just take a bath first before eating breakfast?" Jimin mumbles to himself after reading the note that's sticking on the fridge door. Answering his own question, he screams, "Fuck it!"

He ruffles and messes up his own hair in irritation, but fixes it afterwards. He huffs and goes inside the bathroom to hang the towel, that is wrapped around the back of his neck, at the hook resting at back of the door. After that, he exits again and sighs heavily.

He glances at the front door when he heard a knock. He walks towards the doorway then opens the door. A familiar tall and handsome guy is standing outside his apartment, smiling from ear to ear.

"Happy birthday, Jiminnie!" the guy greets him, still smiling.

He furrows his eyebrows as he stares at the tall guy. Taehyung's smile fades away when he sees Jimin frowning.

"Hey, Jiminnie, you okay?" Taehyung asks him worriedly.

"Who are you?" Jimin's still staring at the younger boy. "Can you tell me your name? You're familiar."

Taehyung opens his mouth, then closes it, then opens it again, "Jimin, it's me, Taehyung."

Jimin then immediately smiles widely, showing his eyesmile, "Taehyung! Come in, Taehyung." he says, as if nothing happened. "It's my birthday, you say?"

The latter slowly nods, "Y-yeah." he was about to cry. He gulps before speaking, "Happy birthday! I bought you a gift." he hands the older a small plastic bag with a logo of 'Gucci' on it.

Jimin gasps and happily grabs it. "Sit there, I'll just cook breakfast." he points at the sofa. "You know, I accidentally took a bath first, instead of cooking breakfast first. I'm so dumb!" he laughs at himself. "Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I already ate." Taehyung replies and manages to smile, "You go ahead, I wait here."

Jimin quickly nods, "Okay! By the way, thank you for the gift! Such a nice of you, Taehyung." the younger only nods, then Jimin walks over to the kitchen.

Taehyung sighs and remembers what Jimin told him yesterday, as Jimin drove his car, taking the both of them home.

"Taehyung, tomorrow's my birthday and I don't know what might happen. I'm so scared." Why's Jimin so scared? Taehyung thought.

He asked, "Why are you scared?"

"I told you, I have short-term memory loss. And every year, my memory resets on the day of my birthday. That is one of the reason why I don't like celebrating my birthday."

Taehyung is, of course, shocked by the information he heard.

"But don't worry, everything will come back after the day of my birthday, plus the new memories will be added. However, since I have short-term memory loss, I might or might not forget the new memories. So please, Taehyung, make me remember everything I have to remember so that I won't be looking stupid on the day of my birthday." Jimin chuckled, "It would be funny."

Taehyung sighed, "Okay, Jiminnie, I will do my best."

"Don't leave me, Taehyung, please. Stay with me until the end."

Taehyung frowned, confused by what the older said, but he nodded nonetheless, "I'll stay with you. Promise."

"Promise." he mumbles to himself.

"Wow! Jimin, these pancakes smell so good! And look at them, so perfect circles!" Taehyung said in amusement, looking at the pancakes that are served on the table, sniffing on them. "So amazing! I can never do something like this."

Jimin felt his cheeks heated up by the compliment. He feels embarrased but at the same time, feeling proud of himself. "Thank you." he manages to say.

"Ah, really, these are so good. I wanna take a bite and taste these delicious delicacy." Jimin laughs at Taehyung's words.

"Sure! It would be great if you join me. I can not eat these all by myself. That is why I bring two forks here."

"Yay!" Taehyung excitedly takes a fork and stabs a pancake and quickly puts it in his mouth, take a big bite.

"Whoa! Taehyung, calm down." Jimin laughs but suddenly winces, then massages his temper.

Taehyung seems to noticed that, so he puts down the fork on the plate and holds Jimin's free hand. "You okay?"

"I'm fine. It's just that, my head aches. Probably because I woke up a little late." Jimin replies, letting go of his temper. "Don't worry, I'm okay."

"Eat up and then take meds." Jimin shakes his head.

"I said, I'm okay. I'm going to eat now." Taehyung lets go of the other's hand then sighs.

"You sure, Jimin?" Jimin just nods and take a bite on the perfectly cooked pancake. "Oh, by the way, Jimin, when do you want me to bring your cake here?"

Jimin lifts his head to look at the guy in front of him and raises an eyebrow, "Cake?" he asks bemusedly.

"Yeah, the cake you bought yesterday."

"I bought a cake yesterday?" Jimin shockingly asks. "Why do you know?"

"I was with you yesterday. You even bought some groceries for your birthday today, and these pancakes are included." Taehyung started his task of making Jimin remember at least some of the things he has to remember for the context of this celebration.

"Really, huh? Interesting." Jimin smiles a bit, "Bring them in after we eat."

"Okay." Taehyung grabs his fork again and is about to put it in his mouth but Jimin speaks again.

"Where do you live, by the way? It's so early when you came here."

"Ah! We're apartment neighbours, and friends." He finally takes a bite on the pancake before Jimin speaks again.

"We're friends. Really?" Jimin widen his eyes. "I like the sound of that."

Taehyung laughs, "If you didn't know we're friends, then why did you let me in?"

Jimin casually shrugs his shoulders, "You looked familiar... and you're handsome."

Taehyung's cheeks redden at the suddenly confession. He bites on his lower lip to prevent himself from smiling. "What if I was an intruder, huh? You didn't even freaked out."

"I know you're not an intruder or anything. Is there an intruder that knows the house's owner's name and even greets them a happy birthday, smiling? I doubt it." Jimin chuckles, "And wouldn't I be so lucky to be intruded by a handsome guy? I would literally give anything he wants."

Taehyung widen his eyes and taken aback, "What the hell, Jimin! You're insane. I can't believe you." he shakes his head, but smiling from ear to ear. "You would seriously do that?"

Jimin laughs softly, "No, silly. Just messing with you." he then bites on the pancake. "As I've said, you looked familiar. When I saw you earlier, I had a huge feeling that I know you, it's just that, I forgot your name."

Taehyung slowly nods. "Did... d-did you... really think I'm handsome?"

Jimin didn't hesitate and immediately answers, "Of course!"

He thinks he's handsome. He fucking thinks he's handsome. He wants to faint.
