Golden Time (JungYong)

69

When Dongsu hit him hard, Suhyuk's head was turned to the side.

He fell down to the ground, with his eyes reflecting a blue sky.

He felt his body aching here and there.

How long was he beaten for?

Despite such a beating, he felt his mind was getting clearer.

"Stand up, you son of a b*tch!"

Cracking his fingers, Dongsu was walking towards him.

"Hey, stop it, man."

Did he not hear Suhyuk's words?

He grabbed him by the collar, who was lying on the ground, and lifted him slowly.

"You must have lost your mind. Can you take care of patients like that? Before you see them, you had better take care of yourself first, or are you a crazy man?" Dongsu punched him one more time.

Suhyuk's lips were blustered, and blood was running down from his nose.

"Stop it!" said Suhyuk.

"No, I'm not finished yet."

When he was throwing his fist, Suhyuk quickly pushed his head against his nose.

Covering his face with one hand, Dongsu moved back.

Suhyuk was stretched out on the ground.

The shining sunlight tingled his eyes, when Dongsu's voice suddenly came into his ears,

"Do you remember what you had said to me before? 'If I behave weirdly, just beat me to death.' That's what you said in the past.'"

As Dongsu pointed out, it was true that he had made such remarks to him.

When Suhyuk said that, he thought Dongsu had fallen asleep, completely drunk enough to forget what he said, but he did not forget it at all.

Suhyuk let out a long sigh.

Very occasionally, a weird guy appeared in his dreams.

Another self of him, perhaps the him from before he lost his memories.

Lee Jinhan walking with his family, and his urge to cure him. That made Lee open up his eyes.

'Stupid!' Suhyuk blamed himself.

Recalling the guy in his dream, he murmured,

"When I see him again, let me completely get rid of him."

When he thought about it, he suddenly felt confident. 

Now he felt that he could be in control of himself in any circumstances.

"You feel you were not beaten enough, right?"

Suddenly Dongsu came up to him to grab him by the collar, and met his eyes.

Suhyuk smiled, and so did Dongsu. Both sat against a wall.

"No matter how hard it is for you to lead a life with sensible mind, you should never lose your mind as a doctor who takes care of patients' lives."

Dongsu took out a cigarette and lit it.

Suhyuk pulled it out from his mouth,

"It's time to stop smoking, man."

Dongsu looked at  Suhyuk, saying, "Did it hurt a lot?"

"No, it felt great. Thanks!"

Shaking his head slowly, he reached out his hand.
