"Hello my darling. My name is Kim Irma, I will be taking over your current doctor. I have a few questions for check up reasons. Is that okay with you.?"

Chae-Young just stared.

The lady took out a pen and a clipboard. She looked down at the paper. "What's your name?"

"I-" Chae-Young groaned as a sharp pain pricked at her neck and collar bone.

"It's okay dear, take your time there's no rush."

"I'm- I- my name is *cough* Chae-Young." She looked at the lady who was writing things down.

"That's lovely, we'll done Chae-Young. You have a very beautiful name! Now if you don't mind I would like to know more about you." The lady smiled sweetly at her.

Chae-Young admired her beauty.

"Chae-Young, my love, in order for this to work I need you to try and communicate with me."

She gulped and managed to slowly nod.

"I'm 19 and I have *cough* a brother called Riki, he's three years younger than me, *cough* I- where is he? Where's Riki- my brother where did they send him- where is he?! Is he oka-"

"Don't worry, your brother is fine and healthy. He's not allowed to visit during the day. Now do you know how long you've been asleep for??"

Chae-Young nodded. "About hmm maybe 12 hours."

The lady looked down and sighed.

"You've been asleep for three days sweetheart.."

Chae-Young shakes her head lightly. "No, that's not true."

The lady sighs again and passes her three pieces of paper. "While you were asleep, this sweet boy, who is also a patient here at the hospital, would always visit you leaving letters outside your door. He never went in though. He just sat outside the door. Said you reminded him of his parents."

"One last question, what about your parents... do you know what happened to them?" They lady interrupted her, holding her hand.

"I- they.."

The image flashes across her mind.

"They're dead.. aren't they."

The lady passes her the letters then bows leaving her alone.

Chae-Young eagerly opened the letters.

Hello,

I don't know if you feel comfort in these letters, or find them stupid.. I mean you don't know who I am. There's something about you that just reminds me of someone. I write these letters, hoping that you retrieve them. Maybe one day we can meet? One day when your all healthy. I hope you liked the necklace and I hope you like bees!

Love from H.

Chae-Young couldn't help but blush. These letters are comforting. She reaches for the next letter.

Hello it's me again (hope you're not too bored of these letters!),

I still have no idea if you're actually reading these. But I hope you're doing well, and I hope you're getting healthier each day. Sorry this letters kind of boring.

Love from H.

Chae-Young's frosted heart warms up.

Hello,

Is everything okay? How's check up's going? This may seem a lot to ask.. but maybe if you could send a letter back it would assure me you're okay! You don't have to if you don't want too!

Love from H.

Chae-Young reread the letters. Again. And again. And again.

Riki stormed into the room. "I brought your favourite! I'm so glad your awake!"

He rushes over to her giving her a light hug trying not to harm her. Riki then sets up a table. "Sushi!!!"

Chae-Young smiles and takes his hand. "Thank you! It's so nice to see your face!"

Riki helps feed Chae-Young the food. After they had finished Chae-Young had a request before he leaves.

"Write down everything I say.. don't question it."

Riki nods.

-time skip-

"Give this to my doctor and say it's for 'H', she'll know who I'm talking about!"
