He stared down at the paper.
It was supposed to be some type of icebreaker for everyone. (Which was weird since everyone else was in their third year and he was the only new one)
It was asking for his favorite childhood memory, childhood pet, nickname. Kindergarten along with other questions that he would have to answer.
Which wouldn't be a problem.
If he hadn't been in the accident and lost all memory of his childhood.
He couldn't answer any of the questions even if he wanted to. It's not like he could ask Dayeon, if he was nine when their plane crashed, that meant that she was six or seven, and there was no way she could remember details like that.
His parents were gone, and his grandfather, as far as he knew and understood, was involved but not involved enough with his childhood to easily know such topics. His parents would know something like that if they hadn't died.
"Ijin?" He looked over at Yeongchan, who had already finished his paper," Is there something wrong."
…
Looks like he was going to have to explain how he had absolutely no memory of his childhood, while somehow avoiding what he had been doing for the last 10 years of his life.
Well, there's no time like the present.
"I was in an plane crash, when I was younger," Yeongchan looked confused at the sudden change in topic, but he continued nonetheless," I lost my memory and well…" He rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Why was he so nervous?
He had already told Major Kang his story, as well as his men, he shouldn't be nervous.
But he was.
"I don't remember anything from my childhood." He didn't even remember his name until the previous year. It had been a painful, but a magical moment when he remembered his name.
It was rare, but he had had an episode back with the Major in which his brain forced him to remember. He doesn't even remember what triggered the memory. All he knew was that at one point, he was taking part in a conversation with some of the men. The next thing he knew, he was reliving a part of his childhood in which he had to write down his name onto his paper (Kindergarten maybe?), before waking up on the floor to everyone surrounding him.
Yeongchan looked like the very definition of shocked.
"I-you…You have amnesia?"
He nodded his head, he was sure that he didn't look as nearly as uncomfortable as he felt.
Yeongchan looked at a loss for words before he meekly suggested," Maybe you can ask your parents?"
… shit.
" My parents were killed in the crash."
That was a topic that he wasn't going to touch.
There were days when he felt like he should have been sad and mourning the loss of his parents. But at the same time, there were days he was more neutral towards the fact that he was an orphan because he didn't have a single memory of them.
From what his grandfather told him, he knew that they loved him.
But he just didn't remember them.
Perhaps it was cold of him, but he couldn't mourn over people he couldn't remember.
"Oh-erm-uh," His desk mate was flustered now, and looked like he was scrambling for an answer," Um…Maybe you should tell the teacher?"
That sounded like a good idea.
He couldn't do the assignment and would get a zero if he just turned it in a blank piece of paper.
The Major told him to stay out of trouble, and doing something like that would probably get him into trouble.
Now to explain his amnesia.
