Chapter 84 - Swooning STARS

As the world renowned boy band is on a break recovering from their traumatic accident, they have still not let off their followers known as STARS and continue to make them swoon with their endless talent. Last week , we saw the amazing Apollo who entertained their followers with an hour long video log of painting. And make people marvel at the talented boys. 

At present the bit band members are recovering from physical and mental trauma and their struggles are also being brought to their followers with their variety show called,"Open the SKY." where the viewers are able to see their idols scream in pain as well as rejoice in small achievements on their path to recovery. Their endeavors have won them much accolades from all over the world from people in various fields. In their unending effort, the band's leader K has dropped a bomb that is making all the girls swoon and many celebrities become their followers. This time K has shared with us a snow sculpture of his good friend CEO Alice Faye. The process of the making is going to be on the next edition of Open The Sky but until then we can only admire the beauty of his art as well as the subject. Alice Faye is also known as a part of the fandom and this time she has also joined the Stars in swooning (literally) over the mastery of K.

As the picture of the show sculpture was shared over and over again, once more the supporters of the KAl ship raised their leads and cheered for K and Alice to become more than good friends, making the trends on Weibo and Twitter go through the rooftop in many countries.

While K had once again caused a sensation all over the internet, he was sitting in the doctor's office staring at the man worriedly.

"Why did she faint?"

In all the scenarios that Adam had imagined when he had made the sculpture, seeing her faint into the snow face first was not something that had entered his head. As he had ran to her worriedly, millions of doubts and self-blame had assaulted him. He knew that she had no memory of the past. What if seeing something similar of what she had forgotten had triggered something in he head. After all, he did not even know the reason for her memory loss. He had raced to her and carried her to the doctors infirmary urgently. Good thing there were doctors present there but what if something similar happened in the future and no one was around? As he paced outside the doctor's office, he wondered what could be the reason for this sudden collapse but also if the doctor would be able to find something in her brain that could have caused her to forget. Soon the doctor was outside and he nodded to K to follow him to the office.

As K followed the doctor hastily, he could kit help but ask,"How is she doing?"

The doctor looked reassuringly at K before saying,"CEO Alice is fine for now. It could be she fainted from exhaustion. But we have conducted the tests as you said. K, are you sure that there are gaps in CEO Faye's memory?"

K nodded at the doxtor's question before answering,"Yea. I am ninety nine percent certain that she has lost some part of her memory from six years ago."

The doctor sighed as he took off his spectacles and explained," Since CEO Faye had fainted suddenyl, I conducted all the tests to check if there was an nerve damage from some past injury or something clot that might be suppressing them but all her tests have come clear. But the brain is a wonderful thing K. Even if everything looks clear, there could be something that no one knows. Physically, her memories should be intact and there is no problem. And since her memory loss is related to a specific period of time, I think it is possible that it could be because of some traumatic experience that she has suppressed her memories. If you ask me this is the brain's way of protecting her and it would be better of we don't probe into it lest she suffer some more. Another reason why I am telling you these doubts is that CEO Faye is in a occupation where even a minor weakness is enough for her competitors to finish her off so everything about her needs to be kept most confidential. On the other hand, you live in the public eye and everything related to you is news. Already, CEO Alice's office has contacted us warning us to not disclose her conditions to the public. This in itself proves that you need to back off. Let me ask you, is the snow sculpture you created a part of those memories that she has forgotten?" Over time, the doctor had come to consider K a friend as the man really was very humble and approachable. But the doctor also understood that there were some things the man could not discuss. Also, K was not his patient and they were not bound by the patient doctor agreement. The only reason he dared to ask K for an explanation was because of the favor K had asked of him.

In answer, K took out his wallet and placed it face side up for the doctor to see. "As you can see, this is her and me, six years ago. Our meeting was an accident but our friendship was more. When we separated, she promised to call me but she never did. And then we met again, she had no recollection of me. However, even as I made the sculpture, I had not thought about jogging her memory. I just remembered how happy and surprised she had been and wanted to surprise her similarly.."

The doctor glanced at the happy couple in the phots and suddenly understood K's motives. No wonder the man wanted her to re gain her memories. But even if the memories did not return, they had all seen that CEO Faye trusted K and with a little more time and patience the two could return to being a couple. And maybe once they were a couple again she would remember everything. And when he said so to K, he did not get the reaction of happiness that he expected but rather could see more disappointment in the man's eyes. When asked K said, "I just don't want to deceive her. She thinks we don't know each other but if she learns I have known her longer and not said anything, her trust would be broken.."

Dejectedly, K returned to the room and looked at the girl who was sleeping on the bed peacefully. He caressed her head and pushed back that had escaped her pony tail and fallen over her small forehead. She looked like the little Alice of the past..

He had prepared so many things but now he was hesitant to bring them out. He thought back to the time when they had returned from the snow fight. Dripping wet and freezing cold, the two of them had shed their outer coats and raced to their rooms as if in a race. The rest of their day had been spent lazing in front of the fire as they had conversed about almost everything under the sun. He had no idea what they had talked about but he knew even then that the woman he wanted to spend his life with was her. He wanted to grow old with her. 

And he knew this now too. But the distance between them then and the difference between them now was too much. The past Alice was a little innocent girl who knew only sweetness and had an open heart while the Alice today was someone who could bring people to their knees and the iron walls around her heart were higher than the sky. Sigh! He had assumed that he would have an advantage of the past if she just remembered but now he would have to give up the advantage.

Leaning down, he placed a small comforting kiss on her forehead and as he moved back her eyes opened and clashed with his. A frown formed on her face and as she looked around, she asked in confusion, "Why am I here? What happened?"

Before Adam could reply, however, Alice clutched her head and groaned in pain.. "Ahh! My head is killing me.."

Looking down at the girl who was in pain, K pushed her hands to the side and casually massaged her head. The doctor had already warned him that she would have a severe headache if her memories had really been jogged..

Alice tried to think what was happening and broken fragments of a snow sculpture seemed to appear in her mind. She tried hard to think what was happening and what it was but this caused her headache to increase so much that she wanted to shout in pain.. Only as she felt a touch of warm fingers massaging her head, did she finally relax...
