RFT 28

Do Ye-jun doubted his own memory for a moment.

“You really didn’t see the note? I left it on your dining table…”

Ye-jun first tried to find the whereabouts of the note, as it was the most important piece of evidence in this situation.

“What note? There was nothing like that. What did you write?”

That shouldn’t be possible… Could it have fallen underneath something?

“No… just don’t worry about it. It wasn’t anything important. Just that I was going home…”

Ye-jun looked troubled. It felt awkward to admit now that he had tried to run away.

This was like playing hide-and-seek all by himself…

He was certain that Cheon Sa-hyun visit our sitewas the seeker, but he felt hollow stolen contentvisit our siteupon realizing the absurd reality that there was no seeker at all.

“But what do you mean I have short-term amnesia? How did you know to come here? And how do you know my mom and dad?”

Setting the hide-and-seek aside, there were still many questions that needed solving. Ye-jun poured out a barrage of questions.

“Hyung, I think you don’t remember well because your memory isn’t intact right now, but you fell off the bed last night. You got too excited while doing that.”

“What are you talking about!”

Everything except for falling off the bed was a complete lie. Not only had he and Cheon Sa-hyun never done ‘that,’ but he had never been ‘excited’ in that way.

No, if you called that excitement, then maybe it was, but… the nuance was different. The nuance!

“This is serious… You really don’t remember anything. When you woke up after fainting for a bit yesterday, you even looked at me and asked, ‘Who are you?’”

“…….”

Since that part was true, he had nothing to say. Ye-jun gestured with his chin for him to continue.

“I was so shocked. I wondered how Hyung could forget me… Do you remember my name now?”

“……It’s Cheon Sa-hyun.”

Cheon Sa-hyun let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, clutching his chest.

“What a relief… You remembered my name… I’ll help you as much as I can. You must be confused.”

Ye-jun’s pupils wavered. Cheon Sa-hyun seemed to be genuinely worried about him. His eyes said so.

“I’ll tell you everything, one by one. Don’t worry. Your mother and father said that would be for the best, too.”

“……Mother, father?”

“Yes. I wanted to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law, but they said that’s still a bit too cringeworthy. I think they’re lovely people, just like you, Hyung.”

“……Since when did my mom and dad become…”

…your mother and father? Just when on earth did that happen?

For a moment, Ye-jun wondered if he had entered a parallel world. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this nonsensical situation.

“You said you were too busy to come during the last holiday. So I came instead to greet them and make a good impression.”

“…….”

Ye-jun’s mouth hung open at the shocking revelation. While he had been neglecting his family home, Cheon Sa-hyun had come and introduced himself to his parents.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“……Sigh, Hyung, you have amnesia right now. It’s only natural that you don’t remember. This is bad…”

Cheon Sa-hyun placed a worried hand on Ye-jun’s forehead. The heat from his warm palm transferred directly.

Ye-jun grabbed his hand [unauthorized copy]and pushed it away. [Read on Read BL Novels]In that instant, Cheon Sa-hyun’s [visit our site]expression stiffened slightly.

“I’m asking because I really don’t know. I mean, this is absurd. Right now…!”

“Yes, ask me anything you don’t know. I remember everything, so I can tell you everything.”

He was clearly having a conversation with Cheon Sa-hyun, but it felt like they weren’t communicating at all. The more he listened to Sa-hyun, the further he sank into a deeper mire rather than having his doubts resolved.

Ye-jun chewed his lower lip before speaking.

“I don’t have amnesia.”

Cheon Sa-hyun let out a deep sigh.

“The doctor did say the denial symptoms would be severe.”

“Doctor? What doctor? I’ve never even been to a hospital…!”

“Sigh… Hyung, I’m really heartbroken. What am I going to do with my Hyung…”

Cheon Sa-hyun buried his face in both hands and his shoulders trembled. His voice wavered as if he were about to burst into tears at any moment.

‘Do I really have amnesia?’

Ye-jun’s face turned pale. Because Cheon Sa-hyun spoke with such conviction, he began to doubt his own memory.

“You definitely have amnesia. Otherwise, why would you suddenly ask me who I am? And at such a crucial moment…”

There was a lot of meaning packed into Cheon Sa-hyun’s gaze. Ye-jun swallowed hard. His throat felt tight, as if it were blocked.

If he said he was lying at this moment…?

“Surely, you wouldn’t be lying, right?”

As if he had read Ye-jun’s thoughts exactly, Cheon Sa-hyun spoke.

“Huh?”

“You know I hate lying more than anything in the world.”

“…….”

“There’s no way Hyung would do that. Oh, for your information, you and I are in a loving relationship. You know that, right?”

“…….”

Ye-jun couldn’t say a word. He realized he had fallen into his own trap.

There was no longer any place to retreat. The turning point to fix this had passed long ago.

If only he hadn’t run away to this place, perhaps he could have settled this before things escalated.

But regretting it now changed nothing.

Cheon Sa-hyun was angry. With a face that showed absolutely no trace of rage.

After leisurely enjoying the way Ye-jun’s expression shifted by the second, Cheon Sa-hyun reached out. Ye-jun flinched and tried to avoid the touch, but he quickly froze back into place upon seeing Sa-hyun’s expression harden sharply.

Cheon Sa-hyun gently stroked Ye-jun’s cheek.

“And Hyung used to call me ‘honey.’ Even if you’ve lost your memory, I’d like it if you could at least do that… You can do that for me, right?”

The Cheon Sa-hyun shown in the novel was truly just the tip of the iceberg.

Ye-jun could only watch helplessly as his life became tangled in real-time. He was failing smoothly.

“Honey…?”

Ye-jun murmured the term Sa-hyun had used, as if he couldn’t believe it. There was no way he had called Cheon Sa-hyun by such a hideous term.

No, in the first place, he had never uttered the word ‘honey’ except when answering the phone.

Even now, just murmuring it once made him feel as [stolen content]if thorns were growing in unauthorized copyhis mouth. The voice uttering the word ‘honey’ didn’t feel like his own.

However, Cheon Sa-hyun replied with a very sweet smile.

“Yes.”

Without overreacting, without excessive joy. As if, just as he said, Ye-jun had always called him honey.

Cheon Sa-hyun gestured to him, and Ye-jun approached him unconsciously. Then, his wrist was grabbed, and he was instantly pulled toward Cheon Sa-hyun.

In the blink of an eye, Ye-jun found himself sitting on Cheon Sa-hyun’s lap. Cheon Sa-hyun wrapped his arms firmly around Ye-jun’s waist. Ye-jun struggled to get away, but it was futile.

“What are these clothes? They’re cute.”

“…….”

“Did you lose all your memories of becoming an adult? You don’t think you’re a high schooler, do you? That would be a bit problematic…”

Cheon Sa-hyun toyed with the patch on the chest of the gym clothes.

“…I wore this because I had nothing else to wear.”

“Ah, Hyung doesn’t know.”

Cheon Sa-hyun let him go. Ye-jun stood up as if he had been waiting for that moment. Then, he followed awkwardly as Cheon Sa-hyun led the way.

Walking straight down the second-floor hallway, Cheon Sa-hyun entered the room at the very end. In the room that looked like a guest room, there was a bed and one large wardrobe. Cheon Sa-hyun opened a drawer in the wardrobe.

“When I came last holiday, I organized Hyung’s clothes. I haven’t been able to come since the season changed.”

“……You did that?”

“Yes. This will work, right?”

Cheon Sa-hyun skillfully pulled out pajamas for Ye-jun. Taking the pajamas in a daze, Ye-jun glanced around and stepped into the bathroom outside the room.

And as he came out after changing…

“Oh, you were there. Ask Sa-hyun if he wants to drink some wine. I still have the one I gave as a gift before. I heard the poor thing can’t sleep well… that he can barely fall asleep unless he drinks wine…”

His mother, who had come up to the second floor, poured out words as soon as she saw Ye-jun. These were facts that made him wonder how on earth his mother knew them.

Cheon Sa-hyun didn’t like others discovering his weaknesses, so he would never speak of such things carelessly…

“Ah, Mother. It’s okay. I gave it as a gift for the two of you to drink, so please enjoy it privately later. I find that I sleep well because my mind feels at peace when I’m with Ye-jun Hyung.”

“Oh, really? Then that’s a relief. Ye-jun can just sleep right next to Sa-hyun.”

Uh, Mom? Ye-jun looked at his mother with bewildered eyes.
