chapter 4.

Mu pov

The moment I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I completely fainted. I came to pretty quickly though, and just stared up at the bathroom ceiling. What happened?
I could ask myself that question over and over again, but I know I won't be able to figure it out on my own.
I continued to lay down on the floor, until I remembered I was in a public bathroom. Ew! I about screamed when I realized just how dirty the floor I was laying on was. I stood up immediately, and looked into the mirror once more. I guess I figured i imagined the whole thing, but when i looked again, I saw that it was true.
How did this happen? How old am I?
Is this just another dream? Yeah! It has to be! It has to be...

I started touching my face, pulling my now much longer hair, and even slapping my wrists. Nothing was working. Okay, if I keep this up, I'll wake up in no time! As I was about to slam my head on the bathroom counter, the door suddenly opened, and someone dressed like a doctor stepped in. When he saw me he gasped, backed away a bit,  and ran out of the bathroom calling "nurse, NURSE!" Geez, I'm not that ugly...
I did what I came inside to do, and walked right back to the room I woke up in. I figured I should take a look at my surroundings, so I tip-toed around the room. For some reason I felt the need to be quiet. I took quick glances at the furniture, bed, equipment, and eventually all the stuff on the walls.
That's when I saw it. What could that be? On the wall next to my bed, there was an old peace of paper pinned to it. I started to read it, and I could feel my heart sink at every word.

It was an old newspaper, one dated that night. The only night I remembered. It looked very old, crinkled, and yellowed. When was this printed? I saw a small hand-held mirror sitting on a mini table in the room. I picked it up, and started analysing my face. Now I'm feeling scared. I knew I had to find out what the date was, so I exited my room, and ventured around the hospital. I was looking for any clues as to what the date was, when I ran into a nurse. She had a concerned look on her face, likely because I was a patient who she caught roaming around on my own.
I figured that it was my chance, so I asked the question "uh, miss? What is today? Like the date, I mean..." She looked even more concerned after I popped the question, but I needed a response. So I asked her again "What's today's date? Can you please tell me? I feel lost not knowing...  ...Miss?"
I

watched as she turned, and booked it through the hallway and around the corner shouting "Doctor! I need a doctor!" I went back in room, and sat down on the bed. I waited for several minutes thinking of all the things that might happen. I laid my head down, and I started at the old paper hanging up not too far from where I was, then I heard footsteps. They were heading my way. The door opened, and a doctor entered the room, and sat on a small chair next to my bed.

"Hello. My name is Dr. Jung. Can you tell me your name?" He asked that before he pulled a clipboard, some papers, and a pen from the drawer next to him. "..... It's Kyungmin... Suh Kyungmin... What happened?" Still wanting to get an answer, I asked the doctor instead. "Well, quite a few things happened. But I want you to tell me." He said "What do you mean?" I responded. He looked at me again, and then said "What's the last thing you remember before being here? Do you remember anything that happened on August 13th? Anything at all?" I was puzzled. I tried to remember but nothing was coming back. "Uh-I, I don't remember... I can't remember anything..." He wrote something down, and opened his mouth to speak again. "You can't remember anything? What about from before that night?" "Do you mean like my friends or family? I can remember being with them that night, but I don't remember what happened that night."

Why isn't anything coming up?
What happened to me?
Wait, what year is it?

"What year is it?" I couldn't stop my voice from shaking, I was scared.
"Suh Kyungmin, it's 2023. You don't remember a thing, and that's because you've been in a coma for 13 years."

13 years? No, th- that can't be right..
That can't be true.. No..

He handed the little hand-held mirror, and I had another look into it. Sure enough, I looked much older.
"You may be an adult now, but your mind is still that of a childs. I would contact your parents, but..." Dr. Jung started talking, but he paused after mentioning my parents. It was as if he was holding something back. "But what? What are you talking about?"
I asked, and he looked at me, gulped, and then said the worst bit of news I've ever gotten in my life. "Well, after you went into a coma, three years after to be exact. Well, your parents got into an accident. It was a very big crash, and neither one of them made it." I felt nothing but disbelief, and I could feel my tears staining my cheeks, and my eyes burning as they ran out. He continued "Your parents also adopted another boy after you went into a coma, I guess they thought it would help them cope. He was also in the accident, but he made it out okay. He's two years older than you, Kyungsu, and as far as I know he's been adopted by another family, and they've all visited you. Though, they stopped years ago. Well Seo Kyungsu, and his new adoptive dads stopped visiting. Their other son Yewang is coming to see you to this day. He asks about you, and talks to you too.
Yewang is here? Is he here now?
"Is he here now?" I asked hoping the answer would be yes. "Hmm, he usually arrives around this time, so I'll go look for him, and let him know you're awake now." Click. Just as he said that, the door opened, and shut. A boy entered the room. Even though he looked different, I could immediately tell who it was. Yewang! I stood up from my bed, and slowly approached him. He gasped, and took a step back, before basically swept me off my feet, and held me in him arms. His arms had gotten so much bigger then they used to be, though it made sense why. I was so happy being in his presence again, after all, it's been 13 years! But I didn't expect him to set me down so soon. I wanted to stay like that forever. Just knowing that though my parents were gone, I still had someone who could hold me when i was sad.
He then leaned down again, and kissed my forehead. Well i definitely didn't expect that! Whatever. I felt as ease having Yewang around.

I just hope it will last...

I just hope it will last...
