"Oh my gosh, Becky is so thoughtful today. She prepared a lunchbox for me." Jaejoong gushes to no one in particular.
All of them are resting in the living room watching television. Everyone's focus is on the Korean drama that is currently airing on the television. The drama is now at its climax. Jaejoong just started to gush about the lunchboxes that Becky prepared for all of them.
Yunho throws a pillow in the direction of Jaejoong. The pillow hits him on the left side of his face but he gave no attention to it. He continues to stare dreamily into the space.
"Hyung! She did not prepare the lunchbox especially for you. Have you forgotten that each of us has one?" Micky said.
"Yeah, hyung. What happened to your memory? Have you gotten amnesia just like Junsu hyung?" Changmin teased Jaejoong.
Yunho and Micky starts to hit Changmin on his arm. But Changmin did not realize his slip of tongue. Yunho and Micky turns to Junsu to see his reaction on Changmin's remark. Junsu is sitting on another separate couch. He didn't seem to have heard what Changmin said to Jaejoong.
On the surface, he seems to be concentrating hard on the drama but what really goes on in his mind is anyone's guess.
"I did not. My memory is good enough, thank you. It is just so nice of Becky to make the lunchboxes in the first place." Jaejoong continues to dream away.
"She cooks very well. Hmm...maybe I should ask her to teach me some of her recipes one day." Jaejoong isn't even paying attention to the rest of the boys who are staring at him blankly.
"Hyung, stop dreaming. You are practically drooling at whatever that is going on in your mind." Micky can't help but tease Jaejoong.
"Hyung, do you think we should ask Jaejoong hyung if he likes Becky?" Changmin whispers to Yunho.
Micky is trying his best to eavesdrop on what Changmin is whispering to Yunho. However, Yunho just keeps pushing Micky’s face away.
"Yeah. Let's ask." Yunho agreed.
"Hey, what are you guys whispering about? What's the big secret?" Micky protested.
He wanted to be let in on the secret as well. Unfortunately, no one pays him any attention.
"Why don't you ask, hyung?"
"No. you ask." Yunho countered.
"You are older. So you should be the one asking."
"No...no...no. You ask him since it’s you who suggested asking him about it."
"No. You are the one who suggested that we should do something about hyung and Becky."
"Can one of you tell me what are you guys bickering about?!! I want to know as well!" Micky shouted at the top of his lungs.
Micky's shout seemed to bring Jaejoong and Junsu out of their dreams.
"Huh? Bickering? Where? Who?" Jaejoong asked confusedly.
He seems a little disoriented being startled out of his daydreaming by Micky's shout. As for Junsu, he just frowns at the four of them. He pays them no attention and turns his eyes back to the drama and realized that the drama is almost over.
Yunho and Changmin stops fighting over who should be the one to ask Jaejoong about Becky. Micky never got the chance to find out what is it that the two of them are whispering about. Some time around midnight, everyone retires into the bedroom that they share together. All of them fall asleep the moment their heads touch their pillows.

::Chapter 11::
"No!!! You can’t be saying the truth."
"Junsu oppa, please listen to me."
"I do not want to hear another word coming from your mouth."
"I had to let go. We can’t go on like this anymore."
"I refuse to accept your reasons. I know that’s not what you want, right?"
"I can’t control what you want to think. But all I can tell you is that you will always be my one and only. Forever."
"Oppa, promise me that you will live happily. Don’t be sad."
"Goodbye, oppa."
Junsu woke up with a start, breathing heavily. He looked around him. Everyone is still in their own dreamland. Yunho is hugging his "daughter", Bambi. Changmin had his left leg on Jaejoong’s bed and Jaejoong’s right leg is on top of Changmin’s left leg. Micky is sleeping with his back facing Changmin. He still had his MP3 player on. The dim glow of light from the player can still be seen.
He leaned against the wall with his pillow supporting his back. He sat there thinking hard on the dream that he just had. He wanted to know badly whether it is just a dream or it is a fragment of his own memory. Without much effort, the name "Ling" appeared in his mind as if telling him that the girl in his dream is Ling.
He couldn’t remember much of the details of her face. The image is only a vague one. He tried hard to recall the face but to no avail. He really wished that he had not been involved in the accident. If only he had been more careful with his driving. If only he had not answered the call. If only he had asked someone to send him back to the headquarters.
There are too many "if only" running in his mind. He knows that life does not run on "if only". He has to move on with life and tries to get his memory back. He can’t live his life without his past. He decides to try falling asleep again. Surprisingly, sleep comes easily.
"Hey Junsu. You are back early." Micky observed.
"How was your date?" Jaejoong walked out from the kitchen holding a plate of snacks.
"Yeah, come on, hyung. Tell us." Changmin waiting eagerly for Junsu to tell them about his date.
"Junsu, wipe that grin from your face and start telling us how did your date went." Yunho joined in the conversation.
Everyone is looking at him expectantly. Each of them wanted to know how did Junsu’s date went. He is always known as the shy guy. He is just not the type of guy who will ask someone out for a date without failing to turn himself into a walking red tomato.
"It went well. Better than I expected it to be."
"Oh, come on. Do tell more." Micky persuaded.
"Oh no. I am not telling anymore than what I have said."
"Wow. Looks like someone is trying to be mysterious." Jaejoong teased him.
"Oh, stop being so mysterious. Spill it." Yunho said.
"Nope. I am not telling you guys. You will only end up teasing me about it."
"Well, at least tell us how the girl looks like." Changmin said.
"She is one unique girl. No words can describe her."
"In my heart, she will be the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
"She might look ordinary to others but that is not an issue. As long as she is special in my heart that is what that matters."
Jaejoong and Yunho started to throw pillows at him. Waking up from his daydreaming, he threw the pillows back at the two of them. Soon after, a pillow fight started.
*****
"Micky, can I ask you about something?" Junsu approached Micky who is sitting at his table flipping through the magazine.
"Oh! Hi Junsu. What is it that you want to ask?"
"In the past, how many girls have I dated?"
"Why are you suddenly asking about this? Something bothering you?"
"Please do answer me." Junsu begged.
"Okay…okay. Let me think."
He leaned back against his chair, thinking hard for a few seconds.
"As far as I know, you had only dated two girls. One is while you were still in high school and the other one is when you were still a trainee. Why did you ask?"
"Nothing. I just got a little curious about what kind of guy that I used to be."
"Oh, I see." Micky said, turning his attention back to his magazine spread out in front of him.
I hope he will not start asking about Ling again. I don't think I am prepared to answer his inquiries about her, Micky thought to himself.
He knows he promised Eunhyuk to answer Junsu's questions truthfully. He concentrated hard on the picture in the magazine, praying hard that Junsu will return to his work studio. His prayer is answered when out of the corner of his eyes he saw Junsu started to leave the room.
"Thanks, hyung." Junsu walked out of the room, closing the door after him.
Did something happened? Why is it that he asked how many girls he had dated in the past? Did his memory started to come back? Micky thought to himself.
"Junsu oppa, please listen to me."
"I do not want to hear another word coming from your mouth."
"I had to let go. We can’t go on like this anymore."

::Chapter 10::
Micky is staring at the magazine in front of him for a long time now. He is not even reading the magazine at all. He is thinking back to last night when he called Eunhyuk.
"Hello. Eunhyuk speaking."
"Hello, hyung. It's me, Micky."
"Oh, hi Micky. How are you doing?"
"I am fine. Thank you."
"What’s the matter? You have some trouble?" Eunhyuk asked, full of concern for Micky.
"It’s not me. It’s Junsu. He was asking me about Ling."
"I don’t know how to answer him. I don’t want all of us to go through the same pain again after Ling left."
"Okay. I understand how you feel. I don’t want him to go through the whole experience again as well."
"I know how it ripped him apart when she left him." Eunhyuk said, understanding how Micky felt.
"Micky, don’t worry too much. Things will turn out alright in the end."
"You can tell him what he wants to know. But when it comes to the heartbreaking moment, just tell him that he will find out in time when his memories started to come back again."
"Thank you, hyung."
"No problem, Micky. Remember that I will always be there for him and also for you. If you need help again, feel free to call me. I will try to solve it for you."
"Don’t burden your mind too much, alright. Rest your mind. Goodbye, Micky."
"Bye, hyung."
He knows that he needs to tell Junsu the truth, or whatever that he demands to know about Ling. He can’t hide the facts from Junsu forever. He is bound to know it sooner or later. He closes the magazine and got out of his chair. He can’t concentrate on it any longer.
He walks over to his keyboard and starts to play the all too familiar tune. He did not compose the song himself but did it with the help of Junsu. He likes the tune very much. It is a nice ballad. Junsu had always persuaded him to hand the song over to their producer to get his opinion of the song. Junsu wanted the song to be included in their new album but his wish just never come true since Micky will always come up with an excuse one way or another.
*knock knock*
"Hey, Micky hyung."
"Oh. Hi Changmin."
"Jaejoong hyung had prepared some fruits. Would you like to come out to eat it?"
"Yeah sure. Go on ahead. I will be out in a minute."
"Okay, sure."
That night when everyone is sleeping soundly, dreaming away, Micky is still very much awake. He started to think of how to deal with Junsu’s questions on Ling. He knows he can’t avoid answering Junsu anymore. What Eunhyuk hyung had told him is right. He will need to answer Junsu whether he likes it or not.
"Hello. Eunhyuk speaking."
"Hello, hyung. It's me, Micky."
"Oh, hi Micky. How are you doing?"
"I am fine. Thank you."
"What’s the matter? You have some trouble?" Eunhyuk asked, full of concern for Micky.
"It’s not me. It’s Junsu. He was asking me about Ling."
"I don’t know how to answer him. I don’t want all of us to go through the same pain again after Ling left."

::Chapter 9::
"Morning, Becky. How was your night last night? Had a good night sleep?" Jaejoong asked Becky once he saw her stepping into their dressing room.
"Yeah. I had a good night sleep. I feel refreshed from the sleep. Thank you." Becky smiled at Jaejoong.
Jaejoong’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Becky smiling at him. Her smile will always do that to his heart. He just love seeing her smile. Sometimes, when he is doing nothing, her smiling face will just appear in his mind.
In another corner of the room, Yunho and Changmin is busy whispering to each other.
"Hyung, did you notice that Jaejoong hyung is always talking to Becky whenever he gets the chance to do so?" Changmin whispered into Yunho’s ear in case Jaejoong happened to hear them.
"Yeah. You noticed it too?!! It sure does seem that he loves talking to her compared to us. I am starting to feel jealous." Yunho whispers back to Changmin.
"Come on, hyung. Stop joking around. I know you are not serious about the jealous part."
"Alright. I was only joking just now."
"Do you think he has a crush on her?"
"He sure seems to light up the moment she steps through that door." Yunho pointed to the door of their dressing room.
"Maybe we should do something about hyung and her. What do you think, hyung?"
"Let me think about it. I will tell you once I come up with a good idea what to do."
"I really can’t stand it when Jaejoong hyung wears that smile on his face even when I was waving my hand madly in front of him." Yunho continued.
"Oh no! Now it isn’t Junsu hyung who is staring into the thin air. Now it is Micky hyung’s turn. What could possibly be on his mind that he didn’t even join us in this discussion like he usually would have?" Changmin observed.
"Do you think we should go over and ask if he is alright in there, hyung?"
"Boys, get ready please. We are leaving in another minute. Don’t forget about your schedule." Their manager popped his head into the dressing room.
"Becky, please get ready as well. We need you to come along too."
Becky started to move away from Jaejoong and started to pack the necessary stuff the boys needed. She needs to remind Yunho to bring his cell phone with him. He is always leaving his cell phone inside the room whenever they had to go out.
She needs to remember to bring along Changmin’s snacks. He can’t survive without it. She also needs to bring some snacks for Yunho as well in case he is having his gastric attack again.
The plan to ask Micky about what is weighing on his mind is aborted when their manager told them that it’s time to go. Changmin and Yunho will have to ask him the next time when they are free again.
That night after they had returned to their living quarters after a long day, Changmin and Yunho planned to ask Micky if he is alright. He had spaced out for a lot of times when they were working earlier in the day. It does worry Yunho a little seeing how Micky is not concentrating on the job at hand.
"Yeah. I had a good night sleep. I feel refreshed from the sleep. Thank you." Becky smiled at Jaejoong.
Jaejoong’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Becky smiling at him. Her smile will always do that to his heart. He just love seeing her smile. Sometimes, when he is doing nothing, her smiling face will just appear in his mind.
In another corner of the room, Yunho and Changmin is busy whispering to each other.

"Do you think we should go over and ask if he is alright in there, hyung?"

::Chapter 8::
"Hey, Micky. Can I ask you something?" Junsu said to Micky.
"Can we speak in private?"
"Alright." Micky followed Junsu into the room.
Jaejoong, Yunho and Changmin looked at each other with a confused look on their faces. They wondered what the big secret could possibly be that Junsu had to ask Micky in private. Shrugging their shoulders, they turned their attention back to the television screen.
*****
"I have been thinking a lot these few days. There are a lot of things that I really wanted answers to." Junsu started his story.
"The name "Ling" came up a few times these few days. Do you remember the book I was holding when that new personal assistant came in?"
"It seems that Ling gave it to me. And I was searching through the journal you told me about. I saw her name in there too."
"I fell asleep before our dinner just now. In my dreams, I seemed very happy with this girl. But I have no idea who is she."
"All I can see is just her silhouette. I can’t see her face and I don’t know what her name is."
"Do you know who Ling is? What is my relationship with her?" Junsu started asking Micky after telling his troubles.
Junsu didn’t know why he only wanted to tell Micky about what is troubling him. He felt a special connection whenever he is with Micky. Being with Micky makes him feel comfortable.
Micky heaved a sigh. He didn’t know how to tell it to Junsu because he knows that once Junsu knows about the truth, he will be very heartbroken. He doesn’t want to relive the moment again. It will be a torture to both Junsu and the rest of the members. He can’t bear it.

::Chapter 7::
That night after their dinner, all of them sat in front of the television channel surfing. Micky is having control over the remote control. He holds it tightly in his hands refusing to let go of it. He even brings it with him into the bathroom so that the rest of the boys won’t change the channel that he is watching.
Junsu went into the studio again. However, this time, he is not working on a new song. He merely wants to search for the journal that Micky told him on the night he discovered Junsu composing a song. Micky had said that he had once walked in on Junsu writing an entry into the journal and he tried to snatch the journal away to read what he had written.
"Come one, let me see what is it that you have written. Or did you write bad stuff about me." Micky said, pouting.
"Go away, hyung. You are not supposed to see my personal journal. You are invading my privacy." Junsu stuck his tongue out at Micky for trying to snatch the journal away.
That is what Micky had told him. He tried his best to remember where he had kept the journal. After searching for it for hours on end, he finally found it sitting in a hidden corner of the wardrobe that is in the studio that he and Changmin normally worked in.
hands refusing to let go of it. He even brings it with him into the bathroom so that the rest of the boys won’t change the channel that he is watching.
Junsu went into the studio again. However, this time, he is not working on a new song. He merely wants to search for the journal that Micky told him on the night he discovered Junsu composing a song. Micky had said that he had once walked in on Junsu writing an entry into the journal and he tried to snatch the journal away to read what he had written.
Today is a tiring day for all of us. We had been running around to do promotional activities and also recording for shows. There isn’t any time for us to take a breather. I did not even have my lunch or dinner. All I had eaten is only my breakfast and I just finished my supper. Yunho is not feeling well again. He had not been eating properly. We have always advised him to eat his meal on time because he has a history of gastric problems. Being the person that he is, he did not tell us about his gastric problem today but I can see that he is trying to hold the pain in.
He flipped a few pages more before he came to a stop at an entry that caught his attention.
The day started just as usual. We had to rush for a recording session in the recording studio. After the recording session, we proceed towards the dance studio to practice our dance steps. There’s a live performance coming up. Everyone is feeling the tension of doing it. During lunch break, we were resting in our dressing room. Well, that’s where we rest whenever we are taking a break. Just a few seconds after all of us settled down, our manager came into our room to announce that we are getting ourselves a new personal assistant since the previous one resigned just two days ago due to some family matters. I didn’t thought that we will have a new assistant in just two days after the old one went off. It’s surprising to me. The girl walked into our room. She is not tall and neither is she a short girl, approximately 5 feet 3 inch tall. She smiles radiantly at us when our manager introduced her. I fell in love with her smile. Well, if that’s possible.
Junsu leaned back against his chair. He is trying to remember whether the girl in his journal is the same person as the "Ling" that gave him the book he was holding just this afternoon. After a few minutes, he had to stop thinking about it because it is starting to give him a headache from thinking too hard. He really wished hard that he will remember his past memories. He felt so empty without any recollections of events that happened after the accident.
He closed his eyes trying to think back on the past. Slowly, he fell asleep. He started to dream. In his dreams, he was running around in a park that he doesn’t recognize. He was laughing happily and calling out to a girl. He can only see the silhouette of the girl. He can’t see her face though. He can hear her ringing laughter.
"Stop, Junsu. Please don’t chase me anymore. I am running out of breath." She shouted at him gleefully.
"I will stop if you don’t run. I need to exact my revenge. How can you smear my nose with the ice-cream that you were eating just now?" Junsu continued to chase her around the park, ignoring her plea to stop chasing her around.
He woke up with a start. He tried his best to remember when that event happened. The image of his dream is still playing in his mind. It felt like he is very happy with the girl in his dreams. He wondered what had become of her. Is she "Ling"? What had happened to their relationship? Did they broke up? Whose wish is it if they did really broke up?
These are the questions that he wanted to know desperately. None of the boys seemed to want to tell him his past. Since the day he came home, no one offered up any information about his past. He can’t come up with a solid reasoning as to why no one told him what he is really like. So many assumptions floated around in his mind.
Junsu went into the studio again. However, this time, he is not working on a new song. He merely wants to search for the journal that Micky told him on the night he discovered Junsu composing a song. Micky had said that he had once walked in on Junsu writing an entry into the journal and he tried to snatch the journal away to read what he had written.
"Come one, let me see what is it that you have written. Or did you write bad stuff about me." Micky said, pouting.
"Go away, hyung. You are not supposed to see my personal journal. You are invading my privacy." Junsu stuck his tongue out at Micky for trying to snatch the journal away.
That is what Micky had told him. He tried his best to remember where he had kept the journal. After searching for it for hours on end, he finally found it sitting in a hidden corner of the wardrobe that is in the studio that he and Changmin normally worked in.
hands refusing to let go of it. He even brings it with him into the bathroom so that the rest of the boys won’t change the channel that he is watching.

Today is a tiring day for all of us. We had been running around to do promotional activities and also recording for shows. There isn’t any time for us to take a breather. I did not even have my lunch or dinner. All I had eaten is only my breakfast and I just finished my supper. Yunho is not feeling well again. He had not been eating properly. We have always advised him to eat his meal on time because he has a history of gastric problems. Being the person that he is, he did not tell us about his gastric problem today but I can see that he is trying to hold the pain in.
He flipped a few pages more before he came to a stop at an entry that caught his attention.
The day started just as usual. We had to rush for a recording session in the recording studio. After the recording session, we proceed towards the dance studio to practice our dance steps. There’s a live performance coming up. Everyone is feeling the tension of doing it. During lunch break, we were resting in our dressing room. Well, that’s where we rest whenever we are taking a break. Just a few seconds after all of us settled down, our manager came into our room to announce that we are getting ourselves a new personal assistant since the previous one resigned just two days ago due to some family matters. I didn’t thought that we will have a new assistant in just two days after the old one went off. It’s surprising to me. The girl walked into our room. She is not tall and neither is she a short girl, approximately 5 feet 3 inch tall. She smiles radiantly at us when our manager introduced her. I fell in love with her smile. Well, if that’s possible.
Junsu leaned back against his chair. He is trying to remember whether the girl in his journal is the same person as the "Ling" that gave him the book he was holding just this afternoon. After a few minutes, he had to stop thinking about it because it is starting to give him a headache from thinking too hard. He really wished hard that he will remember his past memories. He felt so empty without any recollections of events that happened after the accident.
He closed his eyes trying to think back on the past. Slowly, he fell asleep. He started to dream. In his dreams, he was running around in a park that he doesn’t recognize. He was laughing happily and calling out to a girl. He can only see the silhouette of the girl. He can’t see her face though. He can hear her ringing laughter.
"Stop, Junsu. Please don’t chase me anymore. I am running out of breath." She shouted at him gleefully.
"I will stop if you don’t run. I need to exact my revenge. How can you smear my nose with the ice-cream that you were eating just now?" Junsu continued to chase her around the park, ignoring her plea to stop chasing her around.
He woke up with a start. He tried his best to remember when that event happened. The image of his dream is still playing in his mind. It felt like he is very happy with the girl in his dreams. He wondered what had become of her. Is she "Ling"? What had happened to their relationship? Did they broke up? Whose wish is it if they did really broke up?
These are the questions that he wanted to know desperately. None of the boys seemed to want to tell him his past. Since the day he came home, no one offered up any information about his past.

::Chapter 6::
"Can we go grab those snacks already?" Changmin started to whine.
"Alright. Alright." Jaejoong followed Changmin out the door, leaving Yunho, Micky and Junsu in the room.
Becky followed both Changmin and Jaejoong to the cafeteria which is situated on the top floor of the building. The moment the door to the lift opens, Changmin practically raced to the nearest counter to start having his order taken.
Jaejoong shook his head seeing Changmin’s enthusiasm for food. Becky just followed him quietly, taking in the spaciousness of the cafeteria. It could easily fit in a thousand of people. That’s how large the cafeteria is and it also has a variety of food to choose from.
"Why don’t you grab some food for yourself? My treat." Jaejoong offered.
Becky smiled at him. He seemed to be a nice guy even though when I first saw him just now, he seemed like a cool guy who doesn’t smile that much. It seems she stand corrected.
After almost half an hour had passed, they finally took the lift back to the dressing room. On the way back to the dressing room, Jaejoong and Becky had a little chat. Changmin had walked ahead of them eager to show the rest of the boys what he had bought.
"Sorry for Changmin’s childishness when it comes to food. He is always that way." Jaejoong apologized.
"It’s alright. He looks cute with his expression when he sees food." Becky said, smiling.
Jaejoong laughed lightly at the remarks of Becky. She looks pretty with her tiny dimple on the left cheek when she smiles. She didn’t notice that Jaejoong was staring at her for one second.
"Umm…can I ask? How did Junsu lose his memory? He seemed cold back there when I came in." Becky asked while admitting to Jaejoong how she felt when she first saw Junsu.
"Don’t worry about him. He will be fine once he is back to his old self." Jaejoong comforted Becky.
"He just needs time to get his memory back. That’s all. He is usually a very cute person making us laugh with his cute imitation of a dolphin which Yunho will always insist that he doesn’t sound like a dolphin at all." Jaejoong smiled at her.
"Alright. Alright." Jaejoong followed Changmin out the door, leaving Yunho, Micky and Junsu in the room.

::Chapter 5::
"Here you go, Becky. They are the ones whom you will work with." Becky was told by the man who brought her there.
"Boys, let me introduce you to your new personal assistant, Becky. Be nice to her. If I hear any complains from her, I will take her away and transfer her to Super Junior since they are in need of another personal assistant." He told the boys.
"I’ll leave you boys to familiarize yourself with her. Enjoy yourself, Becky. If there’s anything you don’t understand, call me." With that, he left her standing at the door.
The room started up into another round of chattering. Everyone started surround her and gives her a warm welcome. She feels loved by their warm welcome. However, the guy who was sitting in the corner staring at the book on his hand just looked up from the book and gave her a small smile before returning to his thoughts.
The way he is sitting and staring at the book couldn’t help but makes Becky wondered what is on his mind. Couldn’t he even recognize her? What happened that he didn’t remember her?
These are the thoughts that are running through her mind. She was a little disappointed that he didn’t recognize her. She had always wanted to ask how he has been doing since that night. Seeing that she got no reaction from him when he glanced over just now, she just let things be.
"Don’t bother about him, Becky. He lost his memories on one unfortunate night. He is trying his best to recall all his memories." Micky comforts her when he saw her feeling a little down, thinking she is feeling so because Junsu didn’t come over to give her a warm welcome.
"Yeah, Becky noona, leave him be. Let’s go grab some snacks from the cafeteria." Changmin invited Becky, thinking of those delicious snacks that he can buy.
Yunho chuckled at Changmin’s invitation. He never stops thinking about food. Sometimes, Yunho even suspected that all Changmin think about is just food, even when they are practicing their dance steps in the dance studio.
"Umm…guys. I don’t think I can differentiate who is who if none of you introduce yourselves to me." Becky said quietly.
They sure are a cute bunch of guys and noisy too, always chattering away, Becky thought to herself.
"Yeah, boys. How can all of you leave your manners at home, not introducing yourself to this poor girl? The moment she stepped in, all of you started chattering excitedly, forgetting your manners." Jaejoong scolded them, smiling at the same time.
"Becky, right? I apologized on their behalf. They can be a little rude that way. Pardon them. Let me start introducing myself first. I am Jaejoong. You can call me Hero as well." Jaejoong introduced himself after apologizing.
"This is Micky. This one here who is always thinking about nothing but food is Changmin. Yunho is the leader. And the one sitting at the corner staring blankly at his book is Junsu." Jaejoong pointed out one by one.
"Hello, everyone. I am Becky." She introduced herself again.
"Boys, let me introduce you to your new personal assistant, Becky. Be nice to her. If I hear any complains from her, I will take her away and transfer her to Super Junior since they are in need of another personal assistant." He told the boys.

::Chapter 4::
An hour had passed. Junsu is still not able to fall asleep. His mind is still full of unanswered questions.
Just then a song inspiration came to him. He remembered that they had their very own studio.
He tiptoed lightly to the door, opening it, hoping against hope that it won’t creak. When the door opens quietly, he let out a sigh of breathe.
He didn’t know that he had been holding his breath.
His hands are stretched out in front of him, guiding him slowly towards the studio.
Inside the studio, he switched on the lights. His eyes fell on the cute teddy bear on Changmin’s table.
The teddy is smiling sweetly at him, as if welcoming him.
He sat down on the chair in front of the keyboard. Hands slightly raised, ready to touch the keyboard keys.
His fingers started to run over the smooth white keys. Beautiful melody reached his ears.
*****
Micky got up from his bed. In the darkness of the room, he can make out that Junsu’s bed is empty. He sat on his bed, trying to think of where Junsu could possibly be at this ungodly hour.
Trying to fight off his sleepiness, he got out of his bed and went out of their room to search for Junsu. Just as he slowly closes the door, he heard a beautiful melody coming from the direction of the studio where Junsu and Changmin shared.
Upon reaching the door, he opened up the door quietly not wanting to disturb Junsu. The melody stopped immediately as the door is opened. Junsu looked up from the keyboard and saw Micky standing at the door.
Micky went into the studio, dropping himself onto Changmin’s chair.
"Are you feeling alright, Junsu?" Micky asked, full of concern for Junsu.
"Can you tell me about us? How close are we to each other?" Junsu asked, avoiding Micky’s question.
Micky let out a small sigh. It breaks him apart facing a friend who had now become a stranger. If only Junsu is not involved in the accident that took away his memories.
He slowly told Junsu everything about themselves. Junsu listens intently to Micky’s story. Although he tried his best to recall the past, only vague images floated through his mind.
*****
"Hi. I got a call from your company to come for an interview." Becky told the receptionist at the front counter.
The receptionist made a call, informing whoever that is on the other side of the line. After a confirmation is made, the receptionist directed me to the lift lobby and gave me the instructions to go up to the interview room.
I walked into the interview room, feeling nervous. I feel the butterflies flying around in my stomach. The interview went on smoothly. The interviewers are pretty amiable. We went through the normal procedures of an interview.
I am so happy when they told me that I secured the job offered. I really needed this job to support my living in this foreign land. One of the interviewers brought me to my workplace. As I was walking past a number of rooms, I was imagining what will be workplace be. I wondered how it will look like. I was too absorbed in my own imagination that I didn’t realize that we had stopped at a closed door.
On the door, a small sign is hung on it with a cute cartoon of five boys. The cartoon is just so cute that I couldn’t take my eyes off it. The interviewer who showed me the way was talking to me but I wasn’t exactly paying attention to what he is telling me. The moment the door is pushed open, I got the shock of my life.
*****
"Hey guys. I heard that we are getting ourselves a personal assistant," Micky said excitedly.
The room that they are resting in started up into an excited discussion of who could be their new personal assistant. Junsu is the only one who did not participate in the excited discussion. He is flipping through the book that he had brought along.
He found the book inside his desk drawer when he was going through his stuff the other day. He wondered to himself why is the book is wrapped neatly. There is a message on the first page of the book. It said:
To my beloved Junsu,
Hope you will love reading this book just as I do.
Love,
Ling
When he saw the name "Ling", he asked himself who is this "Ling" who signed the book. Is she an important person in his life before he lost his memory? Did they date each other before? Is she his girlfriend?
There are too many questions swimming around his mind that he felt his head is about to burst from all the questions that are always left unanswered. He wished hard that his memory will come back to him soon enough. He can’t bear to live in his current condition, not being able to recall a single thing about his past.
He is too absorbed in his own world that he did not notice that the door to their room is opened. The noisy chatter stopped as suddenly as it has started. Everyone’s attention is now on the door. The opened door revealed a girl standing next to their manager. The girl who is standing at the door has a shocked expression on her face. The four of them were puzzled by that expression.
Just then a song inspiration came to him. He remembered that they had their very own studio.

::Chapter 3::
After a few days of resting in the hospital, Junsu finally returned to their apartment. There is lots of bustling around. Each of the boys tried to make Junsu remember his past.
One after another question is directed towards Junsu. But he couldn’t give them any answers at all.
How can an amnesia patient be able to provide answers to questions that he himself don’t have answers to?
Jaejoong is left to clear the table and washed up. But he is used to these situations so he doesn’t mind it a bit.
"Hmm...you cook such great dinner, hyung. I am so lucky to have you around." Changmin said, rubbing his stomach.
Yunho and Yoochun are laughing quietly at Changmin’s praises for Jaejoong’s cooking.
No one noticed that Junsu isn’t with them in the living room.
*****
Staring at the night sky, with the blinking lights of the advertisement boards and lights from skyscrapers, Junsu starts to think to himself.
Who am I? Who are these guys claiming to be my friends? My mind now feels like the night sky spread out in front of me. It’s all dark except for lights from the buildings and advertisement boards, Junsu thought.
*****
"I missed the old Junsu hyung," Changmin said sadly.
"The house feels so different without his laughter. He doesn’t smile as often as he used to."
"I know how you are feeling. All of us are feeling it too. But let’s give him some time to recover his lost memory," Jaejoong said, comforting Changmin and the rest.
"Time will tell. The old Junsu will be back," Yoochun said quietly. It affected him the most because Junsu is his best friend. He missed the old Junsu the most.
"But us sitting here doing nothing will not help. Remember the doctor’s advice? We must do something to help him. Why don’t we go to places where we used to have plenty of fun?" Yunho said, voicing his opinion after much consideration.
He feels responsible because of his position as the band leader.
*****
Junsu had been sitting in front of the large window, in their room, for some time now. He got up from Yoochun’s bed to walk to the door.
That was when he heard their quiet conversation.
"I missed the old Junsu hyung," Changmin said sadly.
"The house feels so different without his laughter. He doesn’t smile as often as he used to."
"I know how you are feeling. All of us are feeling it too. But let’s give him some time to recover his lost memory," Jaejoong said, comforting Changmin and the rest.
"Time will tell. The old Junsu will be back," Yoochun said quietly. It affected him the most because Junsu is his best friend. He missed the old Junsu the most.
His train of thoughts goes back to what he had been thinking just a moment ago.
Who is the old Junsu? What is he like? Is he really that lovable by these guys? Junsu thought.
The sound of footsteps approaching broke his train of thoughts. He quickly climbed up his bed and pretends to have fallen asleep.
He is not prepared to face the guys, at least not for tonight.
The door opens slowly.
"Shhh! Junsu is sleeping. Don’t make too much noise." Yunho warned all of them.
One after another question is directed towards Junsu. But he couldn’t give them any answers at all.
How can an amnesia patient be able to provide answers to questions that he himself don’t have answers to?

::Chapter 2::
"Quick...call the doctor. Junsu…Junsu…are you awake? Can you hear us? Oh God, please let him be alright." Yunho, Changmin, Jaejoong and Yoochun speak at the same time.
The doctor rushes in with a nurse following behind him. He started to do a brief body check on Junsu.
"He is alright. Don’t worry. But I am afraid he might suffer from a temporary amnesia because of the accident. He knocked his head pretty hard on the steering wheel according to the girl who admitted him to the hospital." The doctor explained.
"She said that she found him with his head on the steering wheel. The car bonnet is all smashed up pretty badly. There are a couple of policemen waiting outside the door to take his statement. I suggest all of you go and have a small talk with those policemen." With that, he walked out of the room door.
"Oh my God, he is gonna suffer a temporary amnesia?!! Does that mean he will not remember who we are?" Changmin cried.
"Now…now…now…Changmin. I am sure he will heal soon. Just don’t worry too much about it, alright?" Yunho said soothingly to Changmin.
"Let's go talk to the policemen. We have to keep this a secret from the fans and the media. I don't want our fans to know about this incident and I don’t want the media to do any coverage on this accident. You know how the media will blow this out of proportion. Come on."
Slowly, four of them walked out of the room to let Junsu rest.
"Hi. I am Detective Sam and this is my partner, Detective Adrian. We have spoken to the girl who reported the accident. According to the doctor, it is her who called the ambulance too. Do any of you know what happened to your friend? Anyway, we found his cell phone on the floor of the car. We suspect that he is on the phone when the accident occurred." Detective Sam said.
"He was on the phone, you said?" Yoochun said.
"But neither one of us called him. I wonder who he is talking to when he crashed his car." Jaejoong said.
"I have a request. Can the police force keep this incident from the media? We do not want the media to get wind of this accident. Our manager is on his way here. Maybe you can deal with him when he arrives. Thank you." Yunho pleaded to the two detectives.
"Alright. We promise to keep mum if the media wanted to report on this accident.” It is Detective Adrian who speaks up this time.
"Have you contacted Junsu's parents?" Yoochun asked. He is very fond of Junsu and his family. He has been very worried since the moment the doctor announced that Junsu will lose part of his memory. He wants Junsu to get well soon because he has always treated Junsu like his younger brother.
Quick footsteps are heard around the corner. All four of them wondered who it is this time. They are so afraid that it might be the media. When they saw that it is Junsu's parents, they are greatly relieved.
"Where is Junsu? Is he alright? What happened? Why are all of you looking so sad? Come, Yoochun, tell me what happened." Junsu's mum asked.
"Don't worry, aunty. He is alright. Nothing serious but the doctor said he will suffer from amnesia. He might not remember us or what happened. Other than that, he is alright. We are still waiting for him to wake up. He is still sleeping when we arrived. Our manager is on his way here. Would both of you like to go in to have a look on him?” Yoochun said.
"Okay. Let's go in to see if he is awake." Junsu's mum said.
Yunho opened the door and one by one walked into the room. Just as they reached his bedside, they saw Junsu stirred. Slowly, he opened his eyes. But he doesn’t look excited to see them again. Instead, he stares at them curiously. As if he did not recognize who they are.
"Junsu, you are awake. Are you feeling alright?" Changmin exclaimed.
"Who are you? Do I know you? What happened? How is it that I am here in the hospital? Did I have an accident?" Junsu asked all of these questions in one breath.
"You don't remember? Oh gosh, he don’t remember what happened to him. He doesn't even remember who we are." Changmin starts to panic again.
"Calm down, Changmin. Your reaction will not help Junsu even a bit. Remember that the doctor said he will lose his memories temporarily. So don’t start panicking again, okay?" Jaejoong soothe Changmin.
At that moment, their manager walked in.
"Is he alright?" their manager asked.
"Who is he?" Junsu asked.
"You don't remember? I am your manager."
"Manager? I don't understand. Can someone explain to me what is happening here?"
Everyone in the room started to look at each other. Each not knowing how to explain it to Junsu. Just at the same time, the doctor walks in with his nurse.
"Oh, so you are awake. No wonder I hear such noise coming from this room. How are you?"
"I have to break a bad news to you. Be prepared for it."
"You are suffering from amnesia for a temporary period. Don't worry about it too much. Your memory will come back to you if you have enough of rest." The doctor explained.
He turned to Junsu's parents, the four boys and their manager.
"Please let him have enough of rest. Don't overexert his body or mind."
"I know you are the famous boyband, Dong Bang Shin Ki. So I know the workload you have to deal with. But we will keep your identity a secret. All of you don’t have to worry about it."
"If it is possible, take him to familiar places that he used to visit or back to where he grew up. It will help him recover his memory faster."
"That's all I can tell you. Don't stay too long. He needs his rest. See you again." With that, the doctor walked out of the room.
"Thank you, doctor. We promise we won't be long."
They stayed for a few more minutes before leaving. Their manager had gone off to talk to the detectives. The boys go home in the van that they came in.

"Oh no, we totally forgot about the girl who helped Junsu."
Suddenly, Jaejoong exclaimed.
"Quick, Yunho. Call our manager and tell him about the girl. Oh yeah, have him ask her to call us." Yoochun said.
"Okay." Yunho said.
After the talk with their manager about the girl, all of them sat silently throughout the whole journey back to their apartment. Each of them lost in their own thoughts
The doctor rushes in with a nurse following behind him. He started to do a brief body check on Junsu.
"He is alright. Don’t worry. But I am afraid he might suffer from a temporary amnesia because of the accident. He knocked his head pretty hard on the steering wheel according to the girl who admitted him to the hospital." The doctor explained.
"She said that she found him with his head on the steering wheel. The car bonnet is all smashed up pretty badly. There are a couple of policemen waiting outside the door to take his statement. I suggest all of you go and have a small talk with those policemen." With that, he walked out of the room door.
"Oh my God, he is gonna suffer a temporary amnesia?!! Does that mean he will not remember who we are?" Changmin cried.
"Now…now…now…Changmin. I am sure he will heal soon. Just don’t worry too much about it, alright?" Yunho said soothingly to Changmin.
"Let's go talk to the policemen. We have to keep this a secret from the fans and the media. I don't want our fans to know about this incident and I don’t want the media to do any coverage on this accident. You know how the media will blow this out of proportion. Come on."
Slowly, four of them walked out of the room to let Junsu rest.
"Hi. I am Detective Sam and this is my partner, Detective Adrian. We have spoken to the girl who reported the accident. According to the doctor, it is her who called the ambulance too. Do any of you know what happened to your friend? Anyway, we found his cell phone on the floor of the car. We suspect that he is on the phone when the accident occurred." Detective Sam said.
"He was on the phone, you said?" Yoochun said.
"But neither one of us called him. I wonder who he is talking to when he crashed his car." Jaejoong said.
"I have a request. Can the police force keep this incident from the media? We do not want the media to get wind of this accident. Our manager is on his way here. Maybe you can deal with him when he arrives. Thank you." Yunho pleaded to the two detectives.
"Alright. We promise to keep mum if the media wanted to report on this accident.” It is Detective Adrian who speaks up this time.
"Have you contacted Junsu's parents?" Yoochun asked. He is very fond of Junsu and his family. He has been very worried since the moment the doctor announced that Junsu will lose part of his memory. He wants Junsu to get well soon because he has always treated Junsu like his younger brother.

::Chapter 1::
"Hello...hello...can you hear me? The connection is breaking up. Please speak up."
*horn blaring*
"Ah!!!"
*tires screech*
*bang*
"Mister...mister...can you hear me? Please stay awake. The ambulance is on its way here."
An image swims in and out of my vision. It kept pleading me to stay with her. My eyes grow heavy. Then I blacked out again.
*beep…beep…beep*
"Where am I?" This is the first thought that came to mind. I can't make out the place that I am in.
"Have I died and went to heaven? But...why do I keep hearing beeping sound and there are so many voices around me." My mind is a blur.
I tried to move my body but it is aching everywhere. I tried to open up my eyes but it is still very heavy. Like it is made of lead.
"Junsu...Junsu...are you awake? Can you hear us? Oh God, please let him be alright." Four voices simultaneously filled my head. I can't place the voices with the face of the owner of those voices.
"Who is Junsu? Why are they calling me Junsu? Why can’t I remember a thing?" I started to panic. I tried harder to remember what had happened. However, I failed. Nothing came to my mind.
A few seconds later, I fell asleep again.
