2: Forgetting Things?

                                    

                                          
KUEA
I felt a warm touch on my forehead and I instantly grabbed it in self-defense.
"A-ah!" I heard a scream as I quickly opened my eyes, realizing it's Diao's voice.
"D-Diao! I'm so sorry!" I apologized as I let go of his hand and looked at him, worried I might've hurt him.
"It's fine, I'm fine. I was just surprised haha. I thought you were sleeping." He said with a smile.
"What time is it?" I asked as I got up, leaning my back on the headboard.
"It's five." He answered as he checked his phone.
Slowly, the I began to recollect what happened a while back. I could feel that warm touch on my body and that man's scent is still all over me.
"Diao, did you... was I alone all this time?" I asked in hesitation.
"What do you mean?" he asked, looking confused.
"I mean... didn't anyone come in this room?" I asked.
"Well..." he started, holding his chin as if trying to remember.
"Did you perhaps see a man in black suit?" I asked, hoping he could remember anything.
"Hm? Well... I watched you sleep since you blacked out, Kuea. The only people that came here were Syn and your teammates. Also, I never left your side." He said which made me feel more confused.
I closed my eyes as I tried to recall that stranger. If Diao never left this room, what happened doesn't make any sense. I looked at Diao from head to toe, trying to check if he could be that stranger. However, it's clear from his built that he can't be him. Diao has a small frame and a petite body, opposite from that man.
"Kuea, you okay?" Diao asked as I felt his hand on my lap.
"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm okay. You were saying?" I asked as I got back to my senses.
"I knew you weren't listening. Jay called while you were asleep. He asked if you could perform tonight. He mentioned something about some investors coming to Gemini. I said you blacked-out and he was worried. He said he'll just put down the posters about your live performance tonight." He said while scrolling on his phone.
"Here's the poster. You look so hot here hahaha." He said as he showed me his phone.
I smirked at the sight of the poster. It's me wearing my usual outfit when performing at Gemini. The difference is this was taken last month when we had an event outside the club. It rained hard and my thin sweater got soaking wet as I was playing the drums. My sweater became semi-transparent, making my body slightly exposed under the black cloth. Good thing I work out or else it wouldn't look this good. 
"Call Jay, tell him I'll make it tonight." I said as I got my feet out of bed.
"Ha? Are you sure? You just fainted and was out for like three hours, Kuea. I think you should rest---"
"Diao, I'm okay." I said, cutting him off.
His brows furrowed as he looked at me with his puppy eyes, lips pouting ever cutely. I swear if he wasn't my friend, I would've dated him since day one.
"I'm really okay, Diao. Now stop making that face. You're making me want to kiss you haha." I joked and I heard him giggle as well.
"Fine. If you say so." He said, giving up.
I smiled at him as I prepared myself to get out of the bed. I felt the floor on my feet and got up but something felt off. I couldn't feel any pressure on my lower body and I started to lose my balance.
