BETRAYAL ( 배신 )

  " The Begonia flower's message is don't be lulled into a false sense of security and stay vigilant for danger. Always repay the favors given to you with appropriate gifts or you'll end up with no help at all.  "

Recently, the flashbacks have been getting stronger and stronger each time. That day, it was way more powerful than usual. Her head was pounding while her vision was getting blurrier at each second that passed by. Nana felt like her chest was compressed, and the air wasn't able to get into her lungs.

There was a green button on the wall beside her bed, where she could just push it to call for help. She walked toward it while groaning and pressed it.

A minute later, someone stepped into her room and asked her if she was okay. She could barely keep her eyes open and asked for Taehyung. When the nurse declined her wish, she then asked them to make the pain go away.

Her groaning and pain growing bigger, the nurse took out a syringe. She rolled up her sleeve and searched for a vein before she injecting something in her. Not long after, she felt her eyes getting heavier, and the pain subsided.

Next thing she knew, she woke up on her bed, and the pain she felt before had completely vanished.

Her eyes traveled over her windows, and noticed the sun had already set. The young woman got up from her bed and went to switch her light on before walking to the bathroom to take a shower. After half an hour, she got dressed and looked at herself in the mirror.

During her stay here, her face had gained a bit of color, but now it has lost all liveliness. Her eyes looked puffy as if she has been crying for hours, and her lips looked a bit dry.

Nana sighed at that miserable image of herself and wished to be able to use a bit of makeup. However, because of the strict rules in the mental hospital, she wasn't allowed.

When the woman got out of the bathroom, her eyes immediately met with Taehyung's. She closed the door behind her and sat on her bed next to him.

" Are you here to escort me to the canteen? " She asked while she was drying her hair with a towel.

The blond-haired male stared at her with an annoyed look on his face. " Why didn't you tell me? " He asked.

" Tell you what? " She asked back, unbothered by his hard stare.

" The pain. " He said. " It has been getting worse, hasn't it? "

She threw her towel behind her and nodded.

Taehyung sighed. " Are you okay now? Do you still feel any pain? Why not asking Dr. Park to take a break from the therapy? Or at least ask him how you can control your flashbacks? "

The woman shook her head, " I cannot control them. Moreover, he has been very understanding with me already. Our pace has been quite slow, so I don't want to take any longer. I barely recovered a few memories from my childhood, but the most important pieces are still missing. "

Nana had long broken her promise to Dr. Park concerning to keep her progress silent. She was spending almost all her days beside Taehyung. It was hard to keep quiet with him. He was too bright of a man to not spill him the ruth.

" It was a fellow nurse that gave you a sedative to relieve you from the pain. " Admitted the man. " But this cannot happen every time, Nana. "

" I know, but I have to go through this to gain back my memory. "

Taehyung stared at her, " Are you sure? " He asked. " The reason you haven't been able to gain back your memory yet, isn't it because a part of you is still scared to do so? "
