Chapter 45 – Room 3001 (1)

After taking a few deep breaths, Yuri opened her lips again.

“I…I don’t remember you.”

Tae-jun smirked coldly.  “Are you telling me that you don’t remember a thing? If that’s your only excuse, come on, that’s not fun.”

“I am serious! The only thing that I know about you is that you are Director Yoon’s fiancé and that’s it. I was just introduced to you.” She appeared incredulous, her eyes wide in shock.

“Don’t give me that crap. I am not in the mood to play games.”

“I am not trying to play anything! I do not have any memory…”

BANG!

Tae-jun slammed the bedhead with his fist. Because of the deafening noise, Yuri covered her ears and closed her eyes. Tae-jun reached his hand to Yuri and twisted her hair with his fingers.

“I hate wasting my time. We have a lot to talk about from now on.”

The voice falling down to Yuri’s earlobes sounded excited. Contrary to his heated voice, his eyes sunk to the abyss. Is it how being eaten by a beast feels like? Yuri could only breathe and glare at Tae-jun.

What created the fracture in suffocating silence in the ward was Tae-jun’s phone inside his jacket. Tae-jun checked the name on the screen, and with an annoyed voice, answered the call.

“Didn’t I tell you not to call me today?”

An anxious voice murmured that the president had summoned Tae-jun through the phone. While Tae-jun answers the phone, Yuri pulled out the IV needle on her arms. I hate it, I hate these needles. Yuri was disgusted with the same repetitive situation where the fluid enters her body through the needle whenever she wakes up in the hospital.

“I will come in soon. Buy some time, I am nearby.”

After the phone call, Tae-jun spoke to Yuri in a commanding tone.

“Come see me when I call you.”

“That’s not going to happen.”

“It is going to happen.”

When Tae-jun left the ward, Yuri quickly stood up from the bed, put on her jackets and tidied herself. Her shoulders were still hurting, and her hands shaky. She struggled to pack her bag and rubbed her shoulders. At that moment, the door opened, and the doctor entered the ward.

Yuri quickly noticed his name tag on his chest. Seoin Hospital, Internist Jin-ho, Jeong. Jin-ho approached Yuri.

“Did you get hurt?”

“No, I think I just bumped into something and it hurts a little bit.”

“Do you have any medical conditions or medicine that you take?”

“No.”

Yuri intentionally shook her head. She did not want to speak a word. Since she was at Seoin Hospital, everything she says to the doctor would go to Tae-jun’s knowledge, from which medicine she takes, and how her condition is. She did not want him to have any information about her.

“Ok. So I am going to check your blood pressure and run a brief blood test…”

Test? Immediately, Yuri waved her hands.

“No, no need for the tests. I have been tired for the past few days. I didn’t sleep well as usual. I think I am okay now.”

“But..”

“Actually, I have some urgent things to take care of. I need to go.” As Yuri refused flatly, Jin-ho shrugged his shoulders.

“Alright then, please take a good rest when you go home. I would still like to recommend you get tested. You have a bad complexion.”

“I will see. How can I pay?”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s already taken care of. You can just leave.”

It is Tae-jun. Yuri fathomed. While opening her bag again to put her wallet back to the purse, Yuri realized something that she did not notice before.

“Um, is this everything?”

“Yes, that’s everything we have. The person who brought you passed it to us”

Her tablet was gone. It was not in her purse anymore. Only then she realized what Tae-jun meant when he said, ‘it is going to happen.’

“Bastard,” Yuri clenched her teeth.

When she came back to her hotel room, Yuri searched Tae-jun Seo. Executive director of Seoin Group. An Asian Games gold medalist at trap shooting, and the successor of Seoin Group which includes eight subsidiaries. The man who had everything by birth, and also destined to have more in the future.

Staring at the picture of Tae-jun on her screen, Yuri dwelled on her current situation. Her dreams, and his attitude. From what she could assemble from his reactions, she could vaguely assume what their prior relationship was in the past. But judging from his untowards reaction to her, their relationship could be something more serious than a fling. She frowned.

“By the time I lost my memories, I was dating Hye-seong. Didn’t I?”

When she came back to Jinseong city after being almost hustled out of her school and art industry, Hye-seong was the first one to offer her a friendly helping hand. As Yuri was mentally exhausted, he who she had known ever since she was a child, was a great comfort.

Of course, she was aware of his father’s concerns about their relationship, hence did not expect a future with Hye-seong. Yuri simply pocketed her feelings – she also had her own plans in her mind. She already knew that they are to split their ways when the time comes.

Even then, she could not believe that she must have moved on so fast with another man; with a man who had a matchless prominent background compared to Jin family.
