A World Without Seams

"Jim's? You're here?"

Jim turned around as a girl patted him on the shoulder and Jim gawked at the girl. She is Naehara, a girl of Japanese descent who has recently been close to her.

"Oh, Nae! Are you here too?" ask Jim.

"I'm looking for you. Your parents said you came out looking for the wind, it turns out you're here," the girl sitting next to Jim immediately crept into Jim's arm while staring at Rachel. Rachel wanted to be angry but it could not be done because their status was still unclear. Jim pulled his hand with a smile.

"Yes, I just wanted to take a walk for a while, but I met Rachel. Oh yeah knowin, this is my friend Rachel, this is Nae," Jim introduced the two of them. They shake hands and say each other's names.

They were sitting at one of the food stands. Rachel wanted to eat at first, but the hunger just disappeared. He didn't want to eat, but Jim had ordered their food and drinks.

Rachel played the pipette in her glass in silence. I don't know what to say and how. Because the chatter was dominated by Nae completely. When Rachel decides to go home, their food arrives. Jim wanted to order more food for Nae.

"No, I just ate a little. Can I eat some of yours?" ask Nae while smiling. Jim who is soft-hearted and always does not have the heart to nod. In Nae's spirit grabbed the fork and started eating, so Jim grabbed his spoon and ate on the same plate.

This time Rachel's appetite completely evaporated. He simply drank the drink to the end and glanced at the watch in his hand.

"I have to go back!" Rachel said.

"But you haven't eaten!" said Jim.

"Sorry, but I'm full!" rachel replied glancing at Nae who was still bribing food.

"But..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Next time I'll buy you," said Rachel. Then he said goodbye to them and returned home with feelings that were difficult to explain. Jim stared at Rachel's departure, as if feeling very lost. They are not so close.

'What feeling is this? Why does it feel sad to see him come home, Jim's inner self. After that he accompanied Nae to a meal and drove the girl home.

Rachel lays her body on the bed and goes back to thinking about her accidental encounter with Jim. He smiled and at once his heart felt happy as if he wanted to explode with pleasure. But at once it changed with a feeling of sadness. All so quickly changed when remembering how Nae came and wrestled spoiled on Jim's arm.

Rachel turned her body and stared into the window of her room floating open memories after memories of being with Jim. Rachel doesn't want to believe any of this. That he met Jim, interacted with him, got into a relationship, and then reality slapped him. That Jim was lying in a coma for a few months. Who does he meet every night? It all felt so real at the time. Now in the real world, Jim seems to be somewhere else. Rachel let out a breath and he got out of his sleep. He walked to the window of his room and opened the window curtain. Slender. And the park across there too.

Yesterday the park was once the place he was waiting for, the place he missed. His place shared a story with Jim and accompanied him to practice. But now all the memories remain. I don't know when he's waiting for Jim's memory to come back.

Rachel moved out of the window, then laid her body back down. He tries to sleep and hopes to forget everything.

Meanwhile, Jim was staring at the sky. He thought of Rachel. It seemed like the girl was close to him, everything in him was very familiar to Jim. Jim nodded slowly because he still did not remember many things.

He grabbed his phone and sent Erik a short message. He just remembered, Rachel's mobile number he had not got when many times he met the girl but always forgot to ask her. I don't know, when he was with Rachel he forgot everything around him. Even important things like cell phone numbers can forget them.

Jim lay on his bed staring at the ceiling of his room. He thought about his story. She has just enjoyed her role as Nae's lover, but Rachel has also come along. But her memory is no stranger to Rachel. Has she and Nae been dating for a long time? As the girl said as she recovered and returned home.

And Nae, that Japanese girl is very spoiled. Sometimes Jim feels uncomfortable when he is there but the girl is his girlfriend. And maybe when his memory is normal that's what he yearns for. Jim rubbed his face thinking of the two girls who were now filling his head.

Just about to shut down, his phone rang. Jim grabbed his phone and looked at the name. Erik...

Jim quickly shifted the green button on his phone.

"Hello..."

"okay!" Jim pressed the red button on his phone. Jim rushes up, grabs the jeans strapped to the back of the chair and then comes out immediately. Jim started his bike and headed towards the base. They call it headquarters. A minimalist house owned by Erik used to gather together.

Jim put his bike on the porch and went in through the back door. There were all her dancing friends gathered.

"What's wrong?" ask Jim while sitting down.

"There's another event, we have to split the group in half. One group went on tour and the other stayed" Erik said.

"I'm coming!"

"Sorry Jim, this time you're not on tour. Still the healing process. Focus on healing first" Erik argued.

"Okay, how many people are on the tour?" ask Jim

"It takes about 15 people, maybe more or less. Definitely tomorrow,"

"So, call nights for this?" ask Jim.

"No, there's another. After this come with me" said Erik.

After that, some other children relax there is also a dance exercise. Jim followed Erik into the kitchen. Erik made a cold drink for both of them. Then the two sat facing.

"Where are you and Nae?" ask Erik.

"Obviously, I'm more interested in Rachel. I think there's one memory of him, but I forgot,"

"Hmmm...status you and Nae?"

"Still!"

"You want to defend Nae?" ask Erik.

"So, I'm still confused. Is it true we have a relationship like he said,"

"You doubt?" erik asked, looking at Jim.

"Honestly yes,"

"Quick make a decision. You go on with Nae or not,"

"Why? Anything on?" ask Jim.

"Nothing, I doubt you believe me. Nae is not as good as you think," Erik said.

"really?" jim's eyes narrowed.

"Hahaha I expected your reaction, find out for yourself. And my advice, don't spoil Nae too much,"

"Hey... Who spoiled him!" refute Jim.

"Yes... Yep... Hopefully not! Come on, let's practice, how's your shoulder?" asked Erik who pulled Jim's jacket collar and took him out of the room for practice.
