Flashback
The weight of responsibility pressed down on me, a constant reminder of the burden I carried. Three weeks had passed since Min Cha-young had woken up.
From her coma her memory shrouded in a fog of amnesia I stood by her bedside watching her sleep my heart filled with a mixture of hope and despair.
"Geunyeo-neun eotte?" I asked Bangsik Suk-young, my voice barely above a whisper.
He turned to face me while his expression a mixture of concern and reassurance.
"Gwaenchana-jil geo-ya. Maeil sangtae-reul hwaginhalge. Geokjeonghaji ma," he said, his voice calm and steady.
He walked towards the door pausing briefly to tap my shoulder.
"Hi-mang-eul irhji ma, arasseo?" He said, his eyes filled with a mixture of compassion and encouragement.
I nodded while my gaze fixed on Min Cha-young's sleeping face.
"Jebal sal-a-nam-a, Cha-young," I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.
Tears welled up in my eyes and I couldn't stop them from falling.
"Jin-hun," a voice called out.
I turned to see Choi Kim-yong walking towards me, her face a mixture of concern and sympathy.
"Mwoga piryohae?" I asked, my voice a mixture of frustration and resignation.
She sat down on the floor her body curled into a fetal position she rubbed my back with her left hand, her right hand gently holding my wrist.
"Butag-inde, Min Cha-yeong-e-ge myeochil hog-eun myeoch ju swige hae-jwo," she said, her voice filled with a mixture of concern and desperation.
"Dakchyeo! Naega eotteon gibun-inji molla!" I snapped, my voice laced with anger.
She unheld my wrist and stood up to hug me. Just then a knock came from the door.
"Ach-im sigsa junbi-dwaesseo," Hwang Yoon-gi said, his voice a mixture of politeness and concern.
"Geumbang galge, jagiya," Choi Kim-yong said, releasing me from her embrace.
I unheld Min Cha-young's hand and stood up, walking towards the door.

He ignored my question while his gaze fixed on Min Cha-young.
"Uriga eodie inneun geo-ya?" Min Cha-young asked, her voice a mixture of confusion and curiosity.
"Nega malha-n daero, B 7/11," Yangnuk Ah-jane replied, her voice a mixture of amusement and resignation.
"Sajang-nim, mulpum gong-geub munjega isseotseoyo," Lee Yam-di said to First Lieutenant Xavier Suárez, her voice filled with a mixture of concern and urgency.
