***R O S É

"Chipmunk!"

It's him again.. the guy with a blurry face on my dreams.

I turn to look up at him because he is really tall. I want to see his face, I want to know what he looks like and if I already saw him in reality.. but never once did the blurry illusion on his face subsides even just a bit.

"Who are you?" That's what I always asked him.

Why is he always in my dreams? I want to know..

"You already forgot about me Chipmunk?" That's always his response.

For some reason, I always felt guilty inside my chest whenever he said those words. His tune is not angry nor accusing but I am sad myself because I really did forgot about him.

I want to remember him but I can't.

Is he worth remembering? Is he someone special? Why did I forgot him if he is?

I felt his hand caressing my right cheek and I closed my eyes to feel the warmth of his touch. I feel lost whenever I am awake but whenever I am dreaming of this man infront of me who called me chipmunk, I always feel in solace.

He felt like a home.

"Please.. tell me who you are. Are you even real? Where can I find you? I want to know.." I pleaded.

I open my eyes only to be awake now. I sat on my bed as I heave a deep sighed and cover my face using my palms.

I didn't even see his face again.

I yawned and just continue on my day, as seconds passed by.. the faceless tall man is the only thing I remember from that dream of mine.

I open my door because I decided to eat outside for brunch when my neighbor also open his. Our eyes met but before I could even greet him, he quickly look away and started to walk and just ignore me.

My brows furrowed.

Yeol--I assume that was his name because it is again, printed on the back of his jacket. Does he hate me or not like me as a person?

I mean, we are neighbors. I am trying to be friendly at first but now, can he atleast be casual with me and not act as if I am invisible in his eyes? I know he is tall but I am normally tall as well so I know he saw me!

Whenever we both saw each other on the hallway, I always try to greet him because he is my neighbor but he would either walk fast the other way or pretend that he is busy fidgeting on his phone like what he is doing now as he waits for me to enter the elevator.

I huffed on the elevator and pressed the ground floor.

As soon as the elevator closes, silence enveloped the two of us inside.

"Uh.." I started to spoke. Being in silence is not really my cup of tea! "Going somewhere?"

"Coffee." Wow, he answered!

I bit my lower lip to stifle a smile because I felt happy that he didn't ignore me for the first time after a week of being neighbors already! I don't even know why I feel somehow burdened with the idea that he does not like me around.

I cleared my throat. "I am on the way for brunch."

"..."

Right, no one asked.

I pouted and was about to speak when his phone vibrated.

"~You can call me monster! I'm creeping in your heart babe~" my ears perked up with his ring tone.

"Suho Hyung?" He answered.

I kept silence as I heard Yeol talking to someone he called 'Suho Hyung' while my mind is floating towards his ring tone. I'm sure I heard it somewhere but I don't know where.. I can't remember but I know I heard it already before!

"Okay." Yeol ended the call.

"Your ringtone." I said as soon as he put his phone down. "It sounds familiar."

He looked at me and I look up at him because he is really tall. His eyes has many emotions in it that I can't seem to comprehend as he waits for me to continue what I am saying.. I gulped because I don't know how to continue anymore.

"What's the title of that song?" I asked.

"Why?" He asked back.

"I want to know."

"Why do you want to know?"

Why is he asking? I just want to know the title of the song! It's.. it's familiar! It felt like I've heard it before even though I just heard of it now!

I closed my eyes tightly when I felt my head aching. I touched my temple as I felt out of balance.. Yeol held my shoulder to help me balance myself. I look at him and saw his face full of worry.

This touch.. this sensation.. my heart is beating fast inside my chest.

"Chi--Rosé-ssi? Are you okay?" Yeol asked.

I shook my head and was about to complain that my head is aching but then.. I blacked out.

***

I woke up feeling my heavy head.

I look around and noticed that I'm inside to what seems like a small clinic. I saw my neighbor outside through the open door, he is talking to the Doctor.

I'm actually surprised that he helped me. He probably carry me on the way here considering that I blacked out.

"Thank you.." I said as soon as Yeol approaches me.

He scan me with worry still on his eyes and I gave him a small smile to reassured him that I am fine. He sat on the chair beside the hospital bed and I waited for him to speak.

I don't know what the Doctor told him.

I don't know if he already know about my condition. I am sure he would ask me questions.. it's kind of confidential because no one knows except for my manager and my members that I had an accident and an amnesia.

"How are you feeling?"

What a good start for a question.

"I'm fine now. Just hungry." I said lightly.

I don't know why my heart warmed up with him looking concern to me all of a sudden. Considering that he's been ignoring for a week of us being neighbors. To be honest, I already judged him that he such a snob person because of that.. but now, I think he is just guarded but caring.

It's rare to find someone who is a stranger but will still carry you to the clinic and ask you if you're feeling fine now.

"What do you want to eat?"

I thought about it for a second before answering, "chicken."

To my surprise, he ordered a box of fried chicken.

"You don't have to.." I said, I have money to pay my meal but he ignore me and the delivery guy already left.

I pouted, "I'll pay you. How much is my chicken and the medication fee in this clinic?"

He only look at me and gave me my chicken and rice. He even unwrapped the plastic on my utensils before giving me.

"Thanks." I said and he only nodded in response.

I ate in silence but I noticed him staring on my face. He have that serene expression that kind of weirded me out. Why is he staring at me like that?

As if he misses me or something?

"Yeol.." I said.

"You know my name?" He looked taken aback.

"Uh.. that's your name right? It's written on the back of your jacket." I explained.

His face slowly became sullen because of my explanation. His reactions weirded me out. He stared at me as if he misses me.. then ignore me as if he doesn't want to know me. Then whenever I say something, he would always look like he is conflicted and sad.

There's this unexplainable gleam on his eyes whenever our eyes would meet.

"Yes.. that's my name. Yeol." He confirmed.

I nodded and smiled at him before reaching my hand for a handshake. "My name is Chaeyoung. Park Chaeyoung. But everyone usually calls me Rosé."

"Rosé-ssi."

Why does him calling me sounds so good on my ears? His voice while saying my name made me blush lightly that made me to look away and cleared my throat.

"Are we friends now?" I asked and look at him again.

"Why do you want to be friends with me?" He asked.

"Are you a bad person?" I asked back.

He shook his head.

I smiled. "Then I don't see no reason why not I should be friends with you."

Besides.. he felt familiar.
