Yiren was playing the piano at home while her members were reading books or watching some movie in the living room when Xion was calling. Yuqi was watching some funny clips with Heejin and Yeyoung when she was distracted with the call, when she saw that it was Xion who was calling Yiren, she then told Yiren about it.
"Annyeong oppa, greeted Yiren after taking the video call, but she was stunned when she saw 3 strangers in the call.. the boys were also stunned silly when they realized who was answering the phone…
Annyyeonghaseyo, it's yiren, where is Xion oppa now? Yiren asked politely which picked the members interest, the other girls then stopped their activities and observed yiren closely.
Suddenly the three boys were hit in the head continuously by Xion, repeatedly… but their eyes are just glued into the tablet, especially at the girl on the screen. Seeing the situation, Yiren was laughing at their face.
Ravn stuttered "that…that..that… Yiren, Aventurine's Yiren…" Yeonjun jaws dropped… Ran then broke the situation, Xion you cheated… no way she is your sister.. you just broke my fantasy today eh no, you just made my dreams come true.. the boys then argued between themselves but composed themselves again and politely greeted Yiren.
The call suddenly became mini fanmeeting as the boys one by one asked questions to Yiren, forgetting their initial purpose, but Xion hit their head again with the plastic hammer which made Yiren laugh hard again. Aventurine members then regroup one by one and watch the screen together as curiosity eats up their attention.
The boys are stunned once again and can't compose themself as they saw members of Aventurine in the screen. Xion keeps hitting heads as Yeonjun, Ravn and Ran keep gasping when they see Aventurine's members one by one.
Aventurine is laughing hard seeing Xion is hitting the boys head like playing music but the boys eyes are stuck glued to the screen.
Xion took over the tablet and the boys hit him with the plastic hammer.
The call lasted for 45 minutes as the boys and the girls started to introduce themselves more, and chatted about random things especially about Yiren and Xion's daily life. The boys are finally convinced that both Xion and Yiren are siblings..
When Yiren got the chance to talk to Xion, she noticed the subtle expression on his face, she then asked.. "Oppa, wae geu-rae? gwaen-cha-na? yojeum museun il i-sseo-yo? What's the matter? Are you okay? Is there something going on with you lately?
Xion just smiles back at her, and utters one sentence, "flower tattoo" explicitly.. Yiren then took a deep breath which surprised her members, and continued, "would you like to express it within a song? like you usually do??
Yeonjun, Ravn and Ran's turn to take a deep breath, hearing Yiren's request just now. Xion took a moment to relax, as every fiber in his body slowly vibrates fighting the urge to explode emotionally..
after taking some time, Xion then replied.. "would you all like to listen? This is just me being ugly..
The atmosphere dropped in an instant as everyone could feel the down and low, Yuqi was the first one to answer.. "Xion-ah, i am your friend, your very first friend in Seoul as far as i know, treat me as one. Yeonjun then continued, "you asked me to trust you, why didn't you trust me back? The others then voice their opinion one by one, including some of the Aventurine members who still blindly believe that because of them Xion embarks on his journey to Idol Life.
Suzy's voice then comes from Seonho's phone as she said, "Xion-ah, we are family, right? I will always listen to your song anytime.."
Xion then says thank you to everyone and sits again in front of the piano. He then played another song, different from the one that was played for the boys. This time, Yiren asked everyone to listen carefully to know his feelings..
Xion started to hit some notes on the piano and this time, he sang slowly..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a while
How have you been?
You look even better now
Like the first time we met
Your smile makes me laugh
And I breathe again
I will go to you
As far as I know because we were always together
And too young, I didn't know just how precious you were
If I meet you again, I will take your hand
I will tell you "I'll never let you go"
Your past self
Finally it looks like we came all the way here
I remember everything we said
Even if you love me...
Think only of me...
I let you go
And I breathe, again, I'm on my way now
As far as I know because we were always together
And too young, I didn't know just how precious you were
If I meet you again, I will take your hand
I will tell you "I'll never let you go"
Your past self
On a day of shooting stars
You are under the same sky in a different time
I think about you, will we meet again?
Passing through the stopped flow of time
"Hello, it's been a while"
The words I will have practiced everyday
I really
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xion's voice turned hoarse here as he tried his hardest not to cry but he just failed effortlessly but he still continued with tears flowing in his face..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miss you, everyday the night falls
Come visit me, reach out your hand
I want to walk together with you, take your hand
And I will tell you
"I'll never let you go" ~ Never Let You go
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone can feel the strong emotion this time, even Yiren has to stop the call since she knows it is the best before something unexpected happens.
Yeonjun then speaks after putting the tablet back on the table.. "Hey, Let's get some fresh air now…" Let's go to Namsan Baekbeom Square… he proposed.
Everyone agreed and Seonho proceeded to drive them there… They chatted and joked all along the road, which elevates the mood and turns it into a happy occasion one. They also go to convenience stores to buy some cold drinks and snacks.
Seonho then parked the car in the parking spot and the four young men got out of the car. They then walked together with Seonho with a small chat in between. Yeonjun did a good job in lifting up Xion's mood and easing his mind. He seems kinda expert in this situation. Seonho even thinks that Yeonjun has some history in this part.
Ran and Ravin busily teasing each other, apparently they quickly became best friends since they have the same taste in jokes and fashion. The Five slowly climbed up the small hill and enjoyed the warm atmosphere from the sun. Some flashbacks hit Xion that instant..
He saw his younger version of his father and mother holding his hand while climbing each step. He turned around and saw the flowers blooming, and he was stunned. He turned his back and looked straight at the Millenium Hilton Hotel and spoke slowly.. "I've been there?" Confusedly, Xion then asked Seonho, "Hyung, have we been to that hotel before?"
Seonho turned and looked back at the hotel, then said " Millenium? I don't think both of us have ever been there since you came to Seoul, why? Xion replied, "strangely i felt that i've been there before.."
Ravn then told him that he's just having some Deja Vu.. Xion didn't talk about it more and just climbed again. They walked for two hours and found a place to sit in the open space in the peak area. The view was very nice that day.. They decided to sit back and enjoyed the day.
There's not many people in the scenic area since it is still 3 PM. Xion decided to take a nap as the rest joined him too. An Hour and a half later, Xion was woken up hearing noises around him. He then sat and observed the surroundings.
There are families gathering on the peak, apparently there is an event for the kids. Xion just smiled when he saw a little girl and a little boy shake hands and then run around while one of the parents chasing them pretending like monster or goblin tried to catched them.
Seeing them again, he saw another Deja Vu.. but this time his head hurts a lot. A surge of information was being injected or should we call it resurface again from his mind. His head felt so heavy as a low grunt was heard. Xion then tried to stand up which was a big mistake for him as the pain intensified. Seonho, who is watching him, then catches him before he falls to the ground. and lay him in the grass.
Ravn, Ran and Yeonjun suddenly awake because Seonho wakes them up, and when they look at Xion, His head is full of sweat and he is grunting, holding his head in pain. The boys then tried to look for a doctor nearby and luckily there's some paramedics around which then came and checked Xion's condition.
When the paramedics found that there was nothing wrong with Xion except the headache, he then recommended them to bring him to the nearest hospital for a better check up. Seonho then moves fast as the boys hold Xion and bring him to the car. Seonho then drove to the nearest hospital as soon as possible.
After admitting Xion to the hospital, Xion gets some sedatives to let him rest, and then the boys stay around to keep him safe. Seonho then called Yuyeon and informed her about his condition..
Yuyeon was having some tea with the girls when the call came. "Mam, it's about Xion.." He's suddenly fallen ill with a headache… We are in the hospital now." Yiren, who overheard it, then asked her mother, "Xion-dage is sick?" Yuyeon just signaled her to be quiet and keep listening to Seonho's story. " The last thing that Xion uttered was a name which is unfamiliar to me.. "
Yuyeon was listening closely and instantly knew that Xion was regaining his lost memories… She then asked Seonho "did he mention about ji-eun? Yes, that name… that is the name that Xion mentioned before he passed out because of sedatives. Yuyeon then told Seonho to look for him and inform her about his condition after he wakes up.
"Mom?" asked Yiren. "It's okay luv, your brother just regained his lost memories back, it's nothing serious.." replied Yuyeon. Yiren just nodded understandingly while Yuyeon explained to Aventurine members about the reason why Yiren is worried. They didn't ask more since they know that Xion is okay.
Meanwhile, because of the sedatives, Xion was in Mirage. He spent the whole time looking back on his memories about Lee Ji-eun and cried a lot. Regretting things that happened to him..
I've lost two girls that I truly like.. Lee Ji-eun and Lee So-hee. Why did I come back to Seoul and didn't even bother to look for ji-eun first? Why was the part about ji-eun missing from my memories.. I talked about her a lot, I called her a lot… but why is she easily forgotten? i am so dumb..
Misery and regret fill his heart and he feels weak and powerless.. his dark days started to haunt him again…
Host, Noct then speak.. these memories are sealed not because you forget about it, but there is some kind of mechanism that sealed it. And now that you realize it, these memories flood out because the restriction is fading away..
Usually, it represents that something bad will happen to the one that is in the memories, since your father is already passed away, the grandmother is also very old already she might have passed too, but the girl and your mother are still alive i presume.. so something bad will happen either to your mother or the girl. Nocturne finishes his explanation.
Jolted by the sudden revelation, Xion then composes himself thinking about how to avoid the circumstances.. but to no success. he didn't know where to begin or what to do. The only saving grace is he knows where his mother is but doesn't know where Ji-eun is.
Noct then continues, in this kind of situation, the girl might be your soulmate, you must try your best to find her or you gonna be scarred in your soul, only soulmates can have this strong connection and bond even after such a situation occurs in your life.
Xion then thinking about the days when he and Lee So hee are in relationship....
