I was on my way to Mum’s bubble tea shop to meet Jr. I carried a paper bag containing his jacket to return it to him. It was the only thing I saw wrapped around me like a blanket when I woke up earlier. I had fallen asleep crying last night, and I hadn’t even realised what time he left. 

I had been so terrified that my mind went completely blank for a while, preventing me from processing everything. All I could remember was that I had been in deep trouble. I didn't car

  • Before You Became a Memory   TWENTY

    Over the days that Jr and I spent together, we gradually got to know each other on a much deeper level. I developed habits and quirks that I could only display around him, bringing them out freely without any fear of judgement. Whenever I felt inexplicably sad or hurt for no apparent reason, Jr was always the one I ran to just to cry. Even if I wept loudly and completely lost control, he would simply let me pour my heart out, staying by my side until I felt whole again.Conversely, whenever I was happy, Jr was always the very first person to witness my wide, genuine smile. Sometimes, we would spend entire nights just talking about our happiest moments. Even when I was just blabbering on about random things like little girls often do, he never grew tired of listening to my repetitive stories over and over again.I could confidently say that Jr and I already knew each other inside out. He had reached a point where he could effortlessly read my mind based solely on my subtle actions, und

    I let out a defeated gasp because it looked like he was genuinely dead set on dragging me along with him."If I actually ride that thing with you, do you promise you won't bother me to get on any other rides?" I bargained. I watched him think it over for a brief second before a slow smile crept onto his face."Just one more after this, and that's it," he countered. I rolled my eyes at him dramatically and averted my gaze. "Okay, fine, deal," he added quickly, sensing my hesitation."Fine, okay," I finally agreed. He immediately sprinted over to the queue to purchase the tickets while I stayed behind, waiting. I nervously made the sign of the cross while staring up at the looming structure of the Ferris wheel.Watching the massive wheel spin at that relentless pace made me feel physically ill before I even set foot on it. My head throbbed with a wave of premature dizziness, and my knees began to shake. What if I got stuck at the absolute top? My soul would probably leave my body right

    "Hey!"I was peacefully sipping my bubble tea when Jr suddenly materialised behind me, scaring the wits out of me. The sudden shock caused me to accidentally suck in a tapioca pearl whole. I had only dropped by Mum’s shop today to cool off from the afternoon heat, and of course, this was exactly when he decided to show up.“You are not funny! I literally swallowed the pearl whole. If I die today, the official cause of death on my certificate will be asphyxiation by a single boba pearl,” I ranted, delivering a hard slap to his arm out of sheer annoyance."I'm sorry, I honestly didn't notice you were actively drinking," he apologised, though he was clearly laughing his head off."You are completely out of your mind, I swear."“Mia,” he called out."What?""Let's go wander around," he suggested, causing me to knit my brows in confusion."What do you mean 'wander around'?" I muttered. Sometimes, I honestly couldn't comprehend the random whims of this absolute jerk."Wander. Roam. Explore,

    I peeked inside Mum’s bubble tea shop to see if Jr was inside. We had talked about meeting today to go to church together. But looking around, it seemed like he wasn't inside yet. I turned around to step away when suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder, which startled me completely. "Oh, my snake!" I screamed. Who wouldn't be caught off guard if someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere behind you? "Snake what?" Jr asked with a laugh. The annoying man had a wide smile plastered on his face and was still effortlessly handsome. He wore a white polo and denim pants that matched his signature arrogance perfectly. "I've been standing here for a long time waiting for you," I huffed, acting as if I were completely impatient. Even though the truth was that I had just arrived, I was just frustrated because my entire body was shocked by what he did. I had almost hugged him, but unfortunately, I did not follow through. Annoying! "Really?" He smiled, then laughed out loud. "You're laughi

    He froze, completely unable to follow through with what he was about to do. Slowly, the hand holding the knife lowered to his side. He abruptly released his grip, and the man collapsed heavily to the pavement, instantly surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers.When Jr turned around to face me, he looked utterly stunned. The murderous rage was still vibrating through his entire body; I could see the sharp clenching of his jaw, but the wild fire in his eyes suddenly glazed over into a hollow, breathless shock as he stared down at me."P-please... st-op... you might... you might kill him," I stammered, my voice trembling violently.Seeing the residual fury etched onto his face, the reckless courage that had propelled me into the fray vanished into thin air. I was suddenly paralysed by sheer terror. A heavy wave of regret washed over me, and I desperately wanted to burst into tears and run away. I was terrified that he would redirect his blinding anger towards me. My hands shook uncont

    “I love you, Jr, and I honestly feel like my feelings have outgrown a simple crush. I think I really, truly love you,” I confessed, the words pouring out from the depths of my soul. “This is the very first time I’ve ever felt this way about someone, and I don’t even know if I’m understanding my own heart correctly. But right now, I am absolutely sure of one thing: I want you in my life, and I want you always by my side.”I didn’t hesitate to lay my heart bare before him. I wasn’t expecting him to magically declare that he liked me back, but at this very moment, my only desperate prayer was that he wouldn’t push me away. Now that he knew the truth, my only hope was that he would still let me stay near him.I also didn’t want him to think less of me. For the longest time, I had been plagued by the fear that he only viewed me as a little sister—especially since he didn’t have a sister of his own.Yet, regardless of his response, I knew I would never regret this confession. Jr was the fir
