*gasp*

​

Tae: Oh my god! Baby, thank goodness, you woke up, I've been so worried!!!!

He hugs me tightly.
I am still in shock and I can't understand what is going on.
Flashbacks come into my head.
I was in a car with him.
He took a wrong turn and we ended up in a lake.
I close my eyes , push him over and cover my ears.
What were we doing in the car?
What was I doing in the car with Tae?
I guess he came to save me. I remember texting him that I was in danger.
My boyfriend must be so worried.

But he slapped my face and left me in the woods after having a fight.
Everything is so blurry. But ...
Why is he calling me Baby?
I know he always loved me...but I made it very clear that I am not interested in him.
Yet he came up into the woods in the middle of the night and now he is by my side. So I should not start a fight now. But bad choice of words Tae, stop calling me your "baby" I never was and will never be.
Where is my boyfriend? Does he know? Is he still my boyfriend? Or was that our break up?
How many days have passed?

Also... where am I ?
It is dark outside so I can't have a glimpse of the location.
But this is not a hospital. Shouldn't a person in a coma be in a hospital?

​

You: How many days have I been like this?
Tae: 3 days

Three days... What if I didn't wake up?? What if I needed medical care? Why is he keeping me here?

You: Three..days..
Tae: Don't worry babe, I had a doctor over and he examined you, if you were in a worse state I would have taken you to the hospital.

Is he reading my mind?
Also why is he calling me babe?

You: Babe?
Tae: Yes babe, are you okay? How are you feeling?
You: No, why are you calling me babe?
Tae: What else to call you (laughs) . If I can't call you babe after 2 years of relationship, can I at least hold your hand?

He laughed again.
2 years of relationship? What is going on? He is giving me the creeps.

You: Two years? Of relationship?

Tae: My love. The doctor told me you would experience some amnesia, but I am very sad you can't remember all our beautiful moments together. No problem. Love will conquer all. I will not let this affect me. Instead, I will show you how much I love you everyday, until your memory comes back.

​

I decided to not say anything back. Something is wrong. But he told me that. So I pretended to believe.

I gulped. I was really scared.
This place doesn't look familiar.
Is he trying to manipulate me into thinking I am his girlfriend?
Am I being held a hostage?

​

Tae: My love, we were on our way home from grocery shopping. And it was raining. I lost the control of the car and bumped into a tree. I've blamed myself everyday for this. I don't know if I would still be sane if anything happened to you. I've asked myself every day "why her? why her and not me???"...

He started tearing.
I could feel my heart beating faster and faster and faster.

​

Tae: ....but now I know.

I looked at him. He was looking up to the ceiling as if he was talking to the Gods.
He really was insane.

Tae: You never know what you have until you lose it. I almost lost you. I almost lost my mind. This was a sign. That I need to take care of you better. I need to protect you. I need to prove my love for you every single day. And I've made it my mission.
You: Your mission?
Tae: Yes. I will take care of you. Even if you want or not. The Gods gave me this sign. I need to be your protector, your guardian angel. You never have to do anything. You only have to stay here with me. And let me love you.
 

You: Here? With you? Is this....our house?

He started to cry.

Tae: It hurts so much that you can't remember our house. When we moved here... we made so many wishes. All our hopes and dreams had to take shape starting with moving in together.

He looked so desperate.

Tae: Until this happened. I will forever blame myself.

He started hitting his head. And I couldn't stop him. I didn't know how to react.
I didn't want to touch him.
I was scared of his reactions.
He was twice as tall as me.. and had such big strong hands.
I should just play the game. And wait for a good moment to escape and call the police.
He can't be here 24/7...

Tae: I know you're still confused and scared, baby. But you can't imagine how much I've missed you. Please let me have this moment with you. Maybe you'll remember me then...

​

He leans in until our faces are only several inches apart.
Is he going to kiss me??
My breathing gets faster and faster. 
What to do? What to do?
I closed my eyes as a reaction and suddenly felt his warm lips on mine...
