Everything began from here.”

"It's okay, Mr Griffin, I understand. At this point, I'm glad that God gave our son back to us. I don't care if he is slightly disoriented in his brain. Even if he was to be paralyzed till his neck, I'd thank the god."

Through the cracked door of the hospital room, a sloppy back could be seen, clad in disinfected, blue hospital gown. Doctor Griffin took a silent look at the melancholic back of the youth before looking back at the woman before him, the patient's mother.

Mrs Kim was a woman of command, in her late forties and a liver brown Balmain suit. Her hair was neatly straightened and left untied. With one hand shoved inside the pocket of her slacks, she looked just as strong as she proved herself to be.

"I understand, Mrs Kim. But, his muscles atrophy was especially unsightly when he woke up. Considering his seven years of immobility and prolonged brain damage-"

Mrs Kim has already had this conversation multiple times with multiple people. She was impatient, but polite, "It's not an option to choose from. Taehyung has stopped any and every kind of food intake now. I think six months is a long enough period of rest for him to at least be moved to Seoul. He'll be taken special care of, you'd think I would care about my son enough."
Kim Hae Rim already knew what the doctor was about to say. Because, seven years ago when no doctor believed her son could be saved from the death's clutch, this man, Efrain Griffin, was the only person who claimed to bring him back to life, they are heavily indebted to this man. But there was no free lunch in this world. Taehyung's case was peculiar, his body was alive yet his brain was entirely paused. While there was no way for his body to resume working, it did, despite its medical lack of credibility. Mr Griffin wanted such a miraculous case on his belt like a piece of medal. Now, after successfully reviving the dead, despite other residential doctors' contempt and disdain, he couldn't accept that Taehyung was being moved to another country altogether.

Mrs Kim nodded along with a smile as the doctor tried to introduce an acquainted doctor in South Korea as a suggestion, although she wasn't paying any attention.

Changes are continuous in this ever changing universe. Taehyung was not some being above or beyond the universe. In its stead, he was more closer and intimate. Life's smaller to larger surprises now looked fickle before him, who has already experienced a very rich and flavorful life after death and from then a second death, now back to life again. He knew if he had not gone through such indescribable pain and agony to give birth to those children, not once but twice, he really would have counted those half a dozen years he spend as a woman to be dreamscapes created by the lucid brain in his comatose state. But he has already lived a life where he bled for days each month. And they say days are long but years are short.

After his car accident and supposed death years ago, when he woke up inside a woman on her wedding, he had to give up the identity of Kim Taehyung the man for Mrs Jeon. He became Jeon Ji Eun. A young woman who had killed herself because she didn't want to marry against her will. That was of course a story he later got to know. But on the alter, once he saw the groom, he instantly said 'I do' without any hesitation. Taehyung could proudly admit that he was a face-con. Beautiful things and Humans were the subject of his passion without a doubt.

Taehyung then had two children, one a boy and the other one a girl. Her husband inherited a grand business that had its head office at the City. They lived in a beautiful villa in the inner part of their residential area in the suburbs and that house had a large forest behind it. They kept their horses there in the stables and the four huge Dobermans lived at the front yards. They had pretty fish swimming in the artificial lake and four people to take care of the fish. Everything was comfortable and heartwarming, albeit a little extravagant. Taehyung himself was very content with his homemaker life and the butler and servants called her madam, the madam of the household.
