the lost boy

far away...

H Y U N J I N

When I woke up again, I was lying in a room that was unfamiliar to me, I rubbed my eyes and looked around again. The second time I realized I was in a hospital, just as I was about to unplug all the wires, a nurse walked into my room. "Oh, hello.. you're awake.. how are you feeling?" She asked me, I looked at her and said dryly "I'm doing so well that I don't have to stay here any longer.." And with that I ripped the cables from my body, took my clothes and bags, retreated to the bathroom, there I changed my clothes and styled my hair a bit, with this hospital robe in one hand and my bags in the other, I went out of the bathroom, threw the robe on the bed and rushed out of the hospital.

After I made it out of the hospital, I ran far away, I still didn't know what to do with myself, but I didn't want to be near a hospital any longer. After an hour that felt like an eternity to me, I stopped running. I stopped completely and looked around at my surroundings. I didn't know where I was, but I kept going. After I came out for the fourth time at the same place where I started, I started to cry. With my vision blurred, I followed my legs until I bumped into something. I wiped away my tears and looked up, seeing the man's unfriendly face, I knew exactly what was coming. I let go my bags and there I felt the first hit. This went on until two people came and one of them pushed the man away. "Stop hitting that boy!! He probably didn't even do anything to you!! Get out before I call the police!!"

I was crying even more than I already was, which the two strangers seemed to notice. They slowly approached me and tried to calm me down. After about 10 minutes I was able to at least calm down a bit, which the two use to communicate with me. "Hey... are you coming with us?.. then I can take care of your injuries.. you can warm up, freshen up and so on... we don't mean you any harm, I promise.." Said one of the both to me. I looked at both of them uncertainly, which the other now noticed, which is why he now started to talk. "You're scared, huh? Can we make a deal? You're coming with us and if you're still feeling unwell and everything then you can leave... but then please have someone look after your wounds, ok? .." Said the other softly. At that I nodded slowly, the probably older one took my bags and the other one, who is probably a few years older than me, stayed with me. I wanted to support myself with my hands, but a strong pain went through my wrist, which is why I fell to the ground. With watery eyes, I held my wrist, the two boys helped me to my feet shortly after.

Since then the two went left and right of me, the two talked and as I found out, the two are a couple. I was silent the whole time and just listened to the two. Eventually the they stopped, the boy with my bags unlocked the door and the other looked at me questioningly. He held his hand out to me, first I looked back and forth between his hand and his face, until I finally put my slightly trembling hand in his. He smiled gently at me and pulled me into their house, because it didn't look like an apartment. Well, it doesn't matter, the boy who held my hand stopped at some point and took off his shoes and then his jacket, I did the same, except that I only had shoes. Then he took my hand again and carefully pulled me behind him. "Channie?? Isn't it more logical if he takes a bath first and then you take care of his injuries??" - "Yeah! Let him have a bath and ask him if I can look for his clothes in his bags!" probably yelled Channie back. The still nameless one looked at me questioningly and I nodded slowly. "Chaaaaan?? You can go to his bag and look for his clothes!!"

And so nameless pulled me to their bathroom, sat me on the closed toilet and let water into the tub. He knelt down in front of me with two different kinds of shampoo and asked "Which kind do you want? Strawberry or peach?" I looked back and forth between the two flavors and finally pointed to the one with the strawberry scent. He smiled at me and put some of the shampoo in the water. Shortly after there was a knock on the door and Chan came in, he looked at me a bit worried until I saw the two 'letters' in his hand. I gulped, "Baby? What have you got there?" asked nameless. Chan handed him the letters and he read them too. What surprised me was that Chan hugged me gently and then whispered the following in my ear. "Your parents only packed you shirts and shorts.. so you get something from me and Innie okay?.." And that was the point that made me cry again. Chan and Innie hugged me and tried to calm me down. They whispered encouraging things in my ear, which calmed me down quite a bit. I smiled slightly at the two and let Innie wipe my tears from my face. "By the way, you have a pretty name." Innie said out of nowhere. I grinned slightly at him and mumbled a soft "Thanks.." 

"Come on, we'll leave you alone now, then you can take your bath in peace. If something happens, then call one of us okay?" I nodded slowly and then they left the bathroom and I was alone. I sat for a few minutes on the closed toilet until I slowly freed myself from my clothes and shortly afterwards got into the tub. I sighed as the warm water touched me and slowly began to relax. It went so far that I accidentally fell asleep, the water had long been cold and only when someone gently shook me did I slowly wake up again. "Hey... slept well?..." said the person. I nodded wearily and was about to fall asleep again when the person started talking again. "Hey... stay awake... you still have to wash your hair and flush all the foam off your body..." I shook my head and heard the person giggle. "Are you okay if I wash your hair? All you have to do then is rinse all the foam off your body okay?" I nodded and sat down so the person could wash my hair. 

When my hair was washed, since I was now a little more awake than before, I recognized the voice. "Are you still awake Hyunjinnie?" asked Chan. I nodded and he started pouring water over my body from behind while the cold water in the tub drained away. I started shaking, which Chan noticed and immediately handed me the towel. "I'll be gone, when you're done, come downstairs okay?" I nodded and by then he was gone. I quickly got out of the tub, dried off, and changed into the clothes Chan gave me. It was a baby blue hoodie and matching pants, and he also gave me warm socks that were also blue. When I wanted to rub my hair dry, this strong pain went through my wrist again, which is why tears ran down my cheeks again. I left the towel on my head, turned off the light and waddled downstairs, a bit lost I waddled to the largest room and luckily I found the couple there. I sniffled and through this the two noticed me. "Hyunjinnie.. why are you crying?" Innie asked, but I couldn't put the words together and started crying more.

"Hey.. don't cry... calm down..." Innie said, slowly pushing me towards the couch Chan was sitting on. I sat down next to Chan, who got up and started walking somewhere. Innie meanwhile dried my hair. Shortly afterwards Chan was sitting next to me again with an ointment and the first aid kit. "Give me the hand that hurts you..." he said softly. I gave him my left hand, he pushed up my sleeve and looked at my wrist. He mumbled a few things that I didn't understand, then he put the ointment on my wrist and put a bandage around it, then he put all the stuff back in the bag and so I fell asleep in Innie's arms.
