It makes me smile.

The words, I love you still circle me-

For the following two weeks, Taehyung remained in his hospital bed. When he realized his mind was a complete blank for the previous six months, he became depressed and sad. He couldn't remember or recall anything crucial that had happened to him. His Bangtan CLub and family had to reconstruct all of the critical events in his life.

Even still, he felt a terrible emptiness in his heart. A craving and a yearning. He dreamed about a figure during the night, but there was no face to recognize this enigma. The maknae friends told him about the new vehicle he bought a month ago...

↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-Flashback ↶*ೃ✧˚. ❃ ↷ ˊ-

When he thought about it, it reminded him of an infuriating incident a year and a half on his graduation day, when his graduation gift was stolen and found parked illegally in a no-parking zone. He had to go to the compound with his friends to retrieve it. He had to pay a hefty fine, and his brand-new Porsche was scratched.

He knew who it was: his final-year class's "Hell-raiser witch." Cha-young Choi was in pain in his neck. They've been butting heads since their first year at university. No one knew where the hostility came from, but they learned it was there. They couldn't tolerate each other any longer. Years later, the Bangtan Bros assumed that the two had a secret crush on each other. Taehyung, on the other hand, openly denied it, assuring everyone that "ugly dumbo ears" were not his type. She retaliated by telling him in the same lecture hall that he would only bank on his face because he was a "useless talentless jerk who sponged his family's legacy. "

That sealed the deal on a lifetime of hate, and the pranks became more accurate and potentially lethal. The terrible pranks they pulled on each other at their university were well-known. Students and professors had to summon their parents on multiple occasions. Still, they found it hilarious, particularly in the professors' lounges. The female lecturers held a poll to see who would come out on top and pull off the best pranks. On Taehyung's side, there were also male professors. Observing the prank extraordinaire at work for a couple of years was fun. It didn't help that they both had enrolled for Fine Arts degrees and majored in the same disciplines. He chose Photography and Painting, while she chose Art History.

Their friends found the intricate pranks they pulled on each other entertaining. During Halloween week, he coloured her hair orange. Everyone admired her hair and thought she was an avid HALLOWEEN fan. Still, they only recently discovered it was permanent dye, courtesy of Mr. Kim, and she is not a Halloween enthusiast. She retaliated by letting him wake up in the middle of a river wearing only his boxers during an Art camp. It continued for most of their university years, with no one willing to call a cease-fire. They saw it as a defeat.

He also exploited her image in a stunning swimsuit that she took during their first year together as an entrant of "Miss Campus Korea" and uploaded it on a popular Russian adult dating site for lonely girls -she was called Candy.

She was enraged when she received text messages from college boys who wanted to date " Candy." It was revolting and humiliating, and it wasn't amusing in the least. She retaliated by discovering his phone number and social login details and posting them online so that all girls could view his class schedules and diary.

He couldn't understand why hundreds of girls would stare at him during class, calling him at all hours, asking him out, and generally bothering him until Jimin discovered the perpetrator. She was the one who pulled it off. He loathed that girl even more, and his BANGTAN brothers advised him to forget about her.

On the day of graduation, Her black designer dress had a shoulder malfunction, and if it hadn't been for her graduation gown, everyone would have seen her tiny chest. She was furious that he had ruined her designer dress. She was able to get back at him the night he and his fraternity friends partied at their fraternity house.

She and her friends organized a big farewell party with his new sports car, which his parents had just delivered. He only drove it once with Dilraba, his gorgeous Japanese girlfriend. Dilraba despised Cha-young for capturing his attention, even for the wrong reasons. Cha-young didn't like her and advised her to stay out of her way if she didn't want to be the victim of a cruel prank.

Dilraba just seethed and stood from afar, promising to assist her boyfriend in getting back to this arrogant Danish girl. She was the one who conspired with her girlfriends to cause the Cha-youngs' designer graduation dress to malfunction on her most important day. She fumbled to receive her degree and clipped her gown tightly to her body, much to the audience's delight. However, she maintained an endearing grin on her calm face and smiled cutely. But because he knew her emotions, facial features, and mannerisms so well, Taehyung could see she was about to burst into tears.

After they all earned their degrees, Cha-young gave the snickering group with their girlfriends an ominous look. She didn't even blink or say a word. Her eyes fired quiet daggers, which she threw to Taehyung, signalling danger. The rest of the day, though, she did nothing. Every sorority and fraternity celebrates in its unique way. The Bangtan bash was the place to be, and it was the most exclusive event ever, with Ms. Cha-young and her sorority being the only ones who didn't get invited, which infuriated her friends...

Taehyung was looking forward to being discharged the next day. On his last day, Jimin and Jungkook were the only Bangtan members who visited him, and he could rest in their company. His parents had already checked out of his hotel room with his luggage and planned to return to Seoul on a charter flight. Because his broken ribs haven't healed yet, he'll be transported to the charter by ambulance.

According to the doctor, he will be transferred to a private hospital in Seoul for another two weeks of rehabilitation and rest. He enthusiastically agreed to that. He's just had a lot of migraines, which isn't a big deal. According to the doctor, he must not give up hope in retrieving his memories. It could take some time.

However, after two weeks, Taehyung and his family and friends became increasingly concerned that his condition never seemed to be improving. He became even more depressed when he realized he might never retrieve his memories.

A pretty nurse checked on him while his two companions relaxed in his private hospital room. With the handsome Asian in their hospital, the nurses seem unable to concentrate.

The group was lovely, and they discovered that they were among their country's billionaires. It pushed the nurses to flirt and be more upfront about their affections. The group was respectful and polite at all times.

The nurse grins at Taehyung's lovely eyes, still tired. "Would you like something to eat or drink right now, Mr. Kim? " she looks at the other two gorgeous gentlemen and asks with a husky voice that makes Jimin smirk," And we can order something for you from our restaurant."

Jimin chuckled, "It's all right, Miss. I'm ok. Thank you very much."

With his wide bunny eyes, Jungkook smiles. "I'm going to get a soda-a Coca-Cola. Thank you very much."

Taehyung grins at this friend. "Bring a beverage for my other friend as well. They'll stay for a little longer. Nurse Megan, I'm going to eat now."

She walked out of the room with a nod. Jimin bursts out laughing. "Oh, goodness! Latina women are beautiful."

Jungkook's face was scrunched up, "Only you, Jimin...aren't you dating Olivia, the "so hot" Italian model?"

"So many women, so little time," Jimin chuckles. We haven't made an official confirmation yet. After a few dates, I'll see."

"All right, that's fine! That's amazing. I'm over-dating and falling in love. I'll marry my best friend and live happily ever after." Jungkook responded with a comeback. He was burned and bruised a few months ago, and he still can't get over Jenna's betrayal."

"Er...excuse me, are you and Sullia engaged now?" Taehyung frowned. "Can you tell me when that milestone occurred?" Taehyung's face became deflated as a lightbulb went off. Oh, great. There's something else he's forgotten about. What more did he overlook? His birthday!!

"Taetae...don't worry, you'll remember," Jimin and Jungkook say to the suddenly melancholy Taehyung, who lay with closed eyes. " Your brain, according to the doctor, must heal itself. Just take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself to recall."

"How long, Jimin," says a deflated and frustrated Taehyung. "W...what if I'm never able to recover my memories? Jimin, I lost six months of my life! It's been six months. I found out that Jungkook and Sullia are rekindling their friendship. You're dating a new model, so I got a new vehicle and bought galleries. Why did I do it? I'm even building a mansion in Songpa-gu, Gangnam-gu. Why so sudden? I was comfortable with my penthouse. I discovered that I had broken up with Dilraba, whom I had planned to marry for a year. I don't know what happened to me!!!" Because his chest is still covered with thick bandages, he throws his head backwards.

He had a gloomy expression. Jungkook gave him a shoulder pat. "Calm down, Taetae. You'll remember it. Allow time to pass. It'll probably happen once you're back in a familiar area."

"We'll see," he says. He just shook his head and attempted to eat the high-quality meal that looked delectable. But he doesn't even have a desire for food.

Jimin seemed apologetic. "We will do everything possible to make your rehabilitation as painless as possible. Ok?'

When the nurse delivered the sodas to the room, Jungkook grinned ear to ear. A new, younger nurse entered the room, her cheeks flushed with admiration. She swiftly served them and exited the room. The boys made a snickering sound. Silly girls.

While waiting for Taehyung to finish his meal, the boys enjoyed a peaceful conversation. His friends opted to assist him in the bathroom, and Taehyung was relieved that his injuries were healing. His arm and ribs were still hurting, but he could walk. In three weeks, his wounds will be entirely cured. By that time, it had been over six weeks. He hopes to be able to resume his routine soon.

When he returned to his bed, he gave his friends a calculated look and asked his friend hesitantly.

"You said Cha-young came to the gallery in New York for an exhibition, Jimin...so I was polite to her and provided her with a ride to her hotel and met in an accident? Since when was I so friendly with an enemy? I don't even want her to be in my line of vision. What happened to cause that? Knowing how I felt about that witch, why didn't either of you take her to the hotel?"

Jungkook blinked rapidly, and he and Jimin exchanged a few glances, looking slightly nervous.

" You informed us. We were shocked by the fact that you invited her along. You mentioned she asked for your forgiveness because you planned to collaborate with a gallery in Copenhagen. She is also a curator who has won awards. At an awards ceremony, you both received national recognition. You both won national awards at an Art Awards event in Seoul." Jimin quietly informed him. Except that he drove Cha-young to the hotel, it was, fortunately, the truth.

He can't tell Taehyung that he and Cha-young are secretly engaged and are on a working vacation in America.

"Ms. Choi and I were on good terms?" Taehyung scrunched his nose." I seriously doubt it. That girl irritates me to death! I vow I'll never see her again, and she's well informed of my feelings."

Jungkook snorts quietly inside. If Taehyung had known that he slept with the enemy, he would have wished he had died in a car accident. That is how much he hates that girl.

"Taehyung...you forgave the girl, and she assisted you for two months at one of your galleries," Jungkook inhaled." You had a successful Egyptian-themed exhibition. It was four months ago when we all went. Even Jessica, Hobi's girlfriend, is acquainted with her as both are in the art world."

Taehyung expressed his disgust with the scenario." Did she work at my gallery? With me...and where was Dilraba? What made me break up with my girlfriend?"

"You broke up with her and told her you were no longer in love with her," Jungkook said, clearing his throat." She was devastated, and she returned to modelling in Japan. But she kept calling you, pleading with you to take her back."

"I fell out of love with my girlfriend! whom I dated for three years in university?" Taehyung furrowed his brows while rubbing his chin in confusion." D... did I cheat on her? Oh my goodness, that's awful!!" He looked horrified as he gripped his head in his other hand. His face had a pained expression.

Jimin jumped up and, with widened eyes, shrieked, "Er, no!!! Taetae!!! You've never been unfaithful to her. You just...grew apart as a result of your careers. You were so engrossed with your work. You didn't have time to develop a mature relationship with her, and she constantly moved. So you've decided to call it quits.'

"Are you certain? But, the Cha-young issue remains puzzling. Were we really in the same accident because I noticed her injuries?" He couldn't figure out why his heart was racing wildly as he remembered the witch he had forgiven for all his Uni- woes.

As he stares at Jimin, Jungkook nods. "Yes, and you informed Jimin about the truce. Bangtan was initially sceptical, but we witnessed it with our own eyes. You were courteous to Cha-young. You both seem to be tolerant of the other."

Taehyung snorted and pressed his lips slightly grimly: "What the hell! I don't think so. She made my life miserable! I'm relieved I don't have to remember that hell-raiser witch." If there's one thing this amnesia has taught me, it came at the right time. "He just chuckled amusingly. What a joke. Maybe his friends are playing a joke on him.

Jimin and Jungkook were both flabbergasted. They will be unable to tell Taehyung the truth at this time. How would he believe they were lovers and engaged to marry if he couldn't accept they were acquaintances?

Poor Cha-young, the man she loves, has chosen to forget her!!!...
