You in Me

1#Awakening

You got power over me
I give my all now, can't you see?
Why won't you set me free...

With the pain in his head, Jongwoo raised his hands on the keyboard and placed them on either side of his head. A familiar voice resounded in his subconscious.
"Baby, how do you want me to kill you?"

He rubbed his head fiercely and opened his eyes, which were closed with pain. He looked at the word he had typed countless times on his laptop screen. His lips twitched as his eyes widened in fear. He quickly closed the laptop and pushed himself back, resting his head on the pillow.

He was in the hospital, everything was over. He would be fine, he would move on with his life. He didn't have to worry about anyone no longer.
And what was that word that he had just seen on the screen? He was about to finish his novel, he knew, but there was a finale he had already determined. The murderer killing everyone and living with this was not like the end Jongwoo had planned.

When the door opened, he was startled and immediately become ateep. After what had happened in that apartment, he felt afraid of not recognizing himself.
The doctor stood at the head of the bed, smiling slightly.

"You look better, Mr. Yoon. How do you feel?"

Jongwoo thought he had to answer. He wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. He would not go back to his mother and brother, no, he would start a new life.

"I'm feeling well. When can I leave?"

The doctor smiled happily this time, putting his hands in the pockets of his gown.

"You are healing quickly. If you are going to dress your wound at home, you can leave the hospital even now."

Jongwoo felt lucky. He didn't even know what was going on when he got into a fight with Moonjo. But that guy was seriously strong and... Jongwoo had killed him?

When the doctor left the room, he changed his clothes and started to take care of the procedures to get out of the hospital.
Before long, the bright sun of the last months of summer hit his face. After stuffing the medicine bag into his laptop bag, he turned to face the sky again. Breathing has never made feel so alive.

As he passed the parking lot, a car pulled up next to him and the windshield slid down. It was that woman, the police one.

"Jongwoo, you're already begin to walk. Do you want me to take you where you're going?"

Jongwoo quickly waved his hands from side to side, avoiding eye contact with the woman.

"Thanks Officer So, I'll handle it."

So Junghwa stared after him for a while as he left. She had thought that as soon as he saw her that he would like to learn something about the events. Maybe he just hadn't gotten over the trauma yet. They had not found Moonjo dead or alive. Was Jongwoo unconscious when he said he killed him, or did he killed someone else think that the someone was Moonjo?
She would not let go of this case.

Jongwoo was in the subway just like the first day he arrived in Seoul. His emotionless eyes were fixed on the opening and closing subway door as it passed many stops. He had a headache. He didn't know what was happening to him. He could hardly remember anything about that night. But he didn't want to think about it either.
Some of the money he was trying to save gone because of hospital expenses. With the rest, he would get himself a room and apply for jobs in some promotion companies.
