Chapter 12: Key Man
“Since we’ve already kissed… how about… we try it out?” Junsu stammered.
“Try it?” try what? What is he thinking about?
“You know…” Junsu scratched his head. “That.”
“What?!” don’t even think, Kim Junsu!
“Why don’t we just try out a… relationship…”
“You pervert!” Ri In screamed at Junsu without even listening to what he just said. “Pervert, how dare you think of…”
“Wait, what pervert?” Junsu grabbed both of Ri In’s fists which were coming his direction. “I just said a relationship, what were you thinking?!”

“Oh.” Ri In lowered her fists, feeling ashamed. ‘Stupid Ri In, get your facts right next time!’
“Eunkyungkyungkyung… you were thinking about something else weren’t you?” Junsu moved his face dangerously close to Ri In’s. So close that Ri In felt her eyelids slowly closing, and her lips slowly forming a pout. “Eunkyungkyung! I didn’t know you were such a perv!” Junsu let out another round of laughter. He placed his head on Ri In’s shoulder, laughing away. Blushing, Ri In shoved Junsu away and fled from the room.

Ri In kept on patting on her cheeks, willing for her body temperature to drop. ‘Quit blushing, quit burning!’ she had her back against the door of a room. Suddenly, the door gave way and Ri In stumbled backwards. “Whoa!” Ri In caught the doorframe in time and saved herself from an encounter with the floor. Bringing herself back onto her feet, Ri In gasped at the room before her. A grand music room with a gold piano in the middle and all sorts of other instruments on display by the sides of the wall…

Ri In sat herself by the piano, her fingers gently brushing on the keys. One note, two note. Her fingers pressed down on the keys lightly. Soon, she was playing a piece, singing along to it. “So you’ve found your way to the music room…”

Jaejoong sat down beside Ri In. “This used to be a room that Junsu and I frequent. But ever since that accident…” Jaejoong sighed.
“So he plays the piano too?” Ri In smiled at the thought that she had something in common with Junsu. Perhaps she could come here with Junsu later… wait. Jaejoong said something else. “An accident?”
“He had an accident two years ago…” Jaejoong paced up and down the room. “Lost part of his memory. To be precise, only memories pertaining to a person.”
Ri In remained silent, thinking about what Jaejoong had just told her. “A person… TaeYeon told me a name. What was it again? Hee…”
“Hee Bon.” Jaejoong finished for her.

“That’s it!” I snapped my fingers. Perhaps I could finally get some answers…
“I think I’ve been making too much fuss over something unnecessary…” Jaejoong wanted to change the subject.
“No! Tell me more, please!” who is Hee Bon to Junsu? Why did he forget her? I need answers right now!
“Junsu have been composing a song for Hee Bon in this room. Day and night, he would sit by the piano. Until something unfortunate happened to Hee Bon, that is. I can only reveal so much to you. Please don’t question me further, nor Junsu. It would be better for him not to remember, and I want things to stay as they are now.” Jaejoong placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it lightly before he took big strides out of the room. He only left me with more questions. But right now I‘m certain about one thing. He is the key man I need to unlock the mysteries and questions…

Ri In wandered around the house, lost and having a headache. “Where am I now? Should’ve brought the map out of the room with me before running out. This place is like a maze!” she groaned and squat down by the wall. According to her watch, she has been lost in this place for an hour, and she still don’t see an exit anywhere. “Maybe I will die here… I’m too young to die!” Ri In screamed in frustration and buried her face in her hands.
“Who said you’ll die?” that voice… Junsu!
Ri In looked up immediately. She never felt so happy to see the psychic. Tears of joy rolled down her face as she leaped at Junsu. “Do you have to cry?” Junsu took out his handkerchief to wipe Ri In’s face. “Who asked you not to bring your map in the first place?” he took out a neatly folded paper from his pocket. Ri In’s map.
“Who told you to get such a big house in the first place?!”

Ri In sat sulking in the living room, flipping through the channels. ‘Nothing’s good on television…’
“Ri In.” Junsu called in futile attempt. Ri In is still ignoring him. “Wifey!” he resorted to his last method.
“What did you just say?” as expected, Ri In turned his way. ‘Did he say… wife?’
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask if you’ll like to go out for dinner.” Junsu bit hard on his lower lip to prevent himself from laughing aloud at Ri In’s expression. Ri In was happily nodding her head, the grin so huge that Junsu thought she would be able to swallow a whole burger. Oh well…

Junsu held onto Ri In’s hand the whole time, making sure that she won’t go off by herself. By now he knew too well that his wife had absolutely no sense of direction. Ri In didn’t seem to mind though, and Junsu felt the corners of his lips going up slightly. They stopped in front of a pub. The same pub. The exact pub that they got married at. “Let’s go in!” Ri In pulled him in before he could even say no.

Loud music blasted through the speakers of the pub. Junsu scrunched up his nose at the atmosphere. Too noisy for his liking. ‘Why did I even come here that day?‘
Unlike Junsu, Ri In bathed herself in the atmosphere she thought was perfect for relaxing. “Let’s dance!”
