밥먹자

Sighing to himself, he stumbled upon the house, placing his fist against the door.

"It was nice.." He started to repeat to himself before sighing once more and shaking his head.

'I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..' He replayed the words echoing into his head so many times before shaking his head and nodding to himself, "No..

I'm sorry.."

His footsteps soon echoing about the house encountered the side profile of the woman standing against the counter with her head down in the kitchen. Leaning against the opening to the kitchen, he crossed his arms and ankles about each other.

Silence spoke for a few minutes before,

"You're back." Taking in her unchanging figure, he let his eyes linger silently for a bit longer.
"Yeah. I guess I am.." Standing straight up, he pivoted and walked away.

He soon returned with some clothes that would obviously be oversized on her, as they were his clothes, but would still fit her just fine. "Go put this on. And change your pad too." She nodded, taking the clothes provided for her and slipped them on.

Chewing on his bottom lip a bit, he turned away for a moment before turning back upon hearing her stomach. "Let's go."
"Wha-where are we going?"
"You're hungry, but I doubt if you know how to cook. Let's go."

Stopping himself on the impulse of grabbing her wrist to drag her along, he shamed himself briefly before continuing to walk away. She followed and out the door they went. The night was cold but neither of them said a word. He only stopped when he could no longer hear the footsteps from behind him.

His eyes lingered on the frozen, yet shivering girl. She said nothing, though her body said everything. Instead of asking, he waited..

"W-why..? Why do I know this path? These roads look so familiar.." Going along with it, he sighed.
"You've probably been here before.." He said, dragging her along by the wrist and thinking to himself.

I didn't lie to her..She just doesn't remember..

Quickly letting go of her wrist and the thought he had, they soon arrived at the place. It was a strip similar to Taehyung's, but, at the same time, was very different.

"How many do you need?"
"Just two." He responded in reference to the to-go boxes. They proceeded down the line to order their food when suddenly, it dawned on him:

She wouldn't know what to order..

His eyes were locked on her for a moment too long when she spoke. "What?"

"You don't know what you want, do you?" She parted her lips to speak, but he spoke again. "Let me rephrase that. You don't remember what you like and don't like, don't you?" She, again, parted her lips to speak before shaking her head and looking down in shame. Nodding, he turned towards the people to order her food along with his.

I wonder.. Even after all this time.. Is it still her favorite?

They took their seats inside the building and began eating. Her rapid eating and delicious smacks were of confirmation to him that he was still right.

"So.. What did you see back there?"

"When we.. When we were walking?" She said through her mouth full of food. He nodded.

"Yeah. Back then.."

"I.. Don't really know.. I just- it all happened so fast. I looked over at a certain area where I saw people running but I knew it wasn't real. It was like a memory.. Very blurry, slow but very fast-paced. Then all of a sudden, I heard what sounded like a gunshot, so I stopped to cover my ears and when I looked down, there was blood all over my shoes.. The blood trailed from one place directly under and on my feet. It was very disturbing, but I can't remember much right now. So I don't really feel anything.."

His frozen stature was very obvious to her and she was about to open her mouth when he immediately began to stuff his face with the food he had bought.

Please don't remember..

I don't want it all to end like this..

"Did I..?" He paused at her words making eye contact with her. "Nevermind.."

"Just hurry up and eat."

"I'm already done with my plate."

"I'll get you another one to go, then." After paying for another plate, they left.

During their walk, he had decided to take her a different way. The walk would be longer, but he didn't care..

I hope you're still you..

And not someone new..

Someone I don't recognize..

And I hope you can forg.... me..
