"Ma'am, are you awake?" A new voice rang in my ears.
Slowly opening my eyes, it was bright
"Are you alright?" Someone spoke once again making me blink my eyes.
Adjusting my sights to the new surroundings, I looked at the face in front of me.
"Who are you? Where am I?" I asked looking around.
They were staring at me astonished.
"You were saved by The Jeon Jungkook! Don't you remember? The Jeon Jungkook!" All of the nurses spoke excitedly.
Ma'am, where am I though? And who is this The Jeon Jungkook?
"Where am I?" I inquired once again. "Don't you remember?" One of them asked.
After good 5 minutes of processing my question, they answered, "You are in a hospital".
I know dammit!
"Which country? What day? What is the year?" I inquired once again, frustrated at the loss of memory.
"Aren't you Korean? You are in the Republic of Corea! It is August 21, 2022," they answered then looked at each other's faces.
That means I have got 2 years ahead! I clearly remember the date... It was 20 May 2020… What exactly is this place?
I jumped out of the bed and walked toward the window.
Seoul? Wasn't I in Busan? Seoul?
"Ma'am please lie down the Dr is coming!"
Who are these people? I remember the reason why I jumped in the water. What is this, I don't remember anything else. My name? What was my name?
Silently walking towards the bed, I lay down, with dozens of questions running in my brain.
The Dr came in and checked me, after frowning his eyebrows, he glanced at me.
"Ms Kim Hwa-Yeong, do you feel any numbness in your hands and legs?" The Dr asked as I gazed at my body parts, trying to use them.
"No, nothing" I answered
My name is Hwa-Yeong
"I have called your guardian, for now, please rest and refrain from taking any kind of stress, after we take some tests, we will discharge you by afternoon," he spoke leaving the room.
My guardian? Guardian as in Eomma and Appa?
"When will my guardians come?" I asked excitedly, to one of the nurses standing in my room.
"Jeon Jungkook signed as your guardian due to emergency reasons," the nurse spoke as she adjusted the saline.
"Do I have any belongings?" I inquired, trying to leave this place as fast as possible.
"Yes, a notebook which seems like a diary, it got wet, the diary is with your guardian. There was some cash in your bag and a damaged photo frame, we gave it to your guardian," she spoke before leaving the room.
I feel isolated and left out. Also, I don’t understand, what is happening. I want to leave. I pull out the wire stuck in my blood vessel and cautiously make my way out of this place.
My head buzzing with pain and discomfort, what is this place? They say, Corea! I move across the street scanning the area.
Do I live here? Is this the country I live in?
"Where are you going?" A hand-held mine pulled me towards the footpath. "Somewhere," I answer not knowing what to say.
The stranger looks at me carefully, I can feel his gaze upon me. Even I look at him, he looks handsome.
"Who are you?" I ask boldly "Jungkook..." He answers.
This name, I have heard before.
"Hmm... Do I know you?" "No!" He replies
"Okay! I will leave first then" I respond turning around to leave. "No! Wait!" The handsome boy shouts, once again holding my wrist.
What's with him was holding my hand!
"Leave me!" I speak firmly. "I am your guardian!" He retorts
I keep quiet staring at his face, he does look familiar. Can I use him for knowing about his place?
"What country is this?" I ask making the handsome boy's eyes widen. Is my question that weird?
"This is the Kingdom of Corea? You are a foreigner? But all this time you were speaking to me in Busan dialect!" He talks in a breath and then points toward the flags hanging on the sides of the road.
Seems familiar yet different...
"Take me to your home!" I announce earning another shocked expression from the boy.
