::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.
