Lost And Found

Author's POV

Chan-ok is reading the newspaper at the dining table, waiting for the breakfast to be served.

"Is she still sleeping?" Asked Minjun sitting down beside him.

"I guess. I haven't heard any noise coming from her room. I didn't checked. Let her sleep." Chan-ok replied to his wife.

He sighed after remembering last night's incident. Jennie had panick attack again. She cried and screamed, even tried to get out of house as well. They needed to give her sleep injection.

"When will she be alright?" Minjun wept in despair.

Chan-ok patted his wife's shoulder, "Let's just pray and give her time. We are doing our best."

They stopped talking, as the sounds of footsteps coming downstairs.

"Good morning, mom and dad." Jennie said, looking happy.

Minjun forcefully smiled, "Good morning baby. Come have breakfast."

Jennie sit opposite to her mom, other side of her father. Chan-ok composed himself.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, caressing her hair.

Jennie smiled faintly, "I'm still tired."

Servants put foods on the table. They were about to eat when Jennie spoke again.

"When will Jisoo come back?" All of them stopped by the question.

Minjun look at her husband. He clenched his fists.

"Soon. Haven't she called you yet?" He asked.

Jennie nodded, "She did, four days ago. I miss her." Her face become solemn.

"Jennie, after finishing the breakfast, do you wanna go for shopping?" Her mom asked, trying to divert the topic.

Chan-ok sit down on the chair in his study room. He doesn't know what to do anymore. Both of them have been lying to Jennie, ever since that day, after the incident.

"What am I gonna do now...?" He buried his face in hands.

Flashback

"Doctor what happened to Jennie?" Minjun cried to the doctor.

"Please calm down. We are trying our best. Your daughter is in a great trauma right now. You two needs to be careful with her. She might try to commit suicide again." The doctor said.

They are in the hospital as Jennie jumped from her balcony. She broke her left arm and her head has a deep cut. Though she only fell on the heap of leaves, still it injured her.

"We just can't handle her. She keep on asking about Jisoo. She wants to go to her." Chan-ok said frustrated with the whole situation.

The doctor dialled a number and told someone to come in. A lady in her 50s come in.

"Hello. I'm Sheryl, a psychiatrist." She greeted.

Minjun glared at Doctor Lee, "Why did you called a psychiatrist!? Jennie isn't mad!"

"Calm down ma'am. It's for her own good. I can't treat her. Sheryl is the best option." Doctor Lee said.

Sheryl smiled sympathetically at the older couple, "Do not worry. I'll try my best to cure her."

After a talking session with Jennie, Sheryl become tensed. She explained that Jennie is still thinking that Jisoo is alive. The moment she witnessed the accident, some part of her mind couldn't accept it and right now Jennie is still stuck in that very moment. The reality is not accepted by her mind. That's why Jennie keep on asking for Jisoo, as if the time stopped for her. Sheryl give her medications and also having talking sessions time to time.
