Love Unexpected

Chapter 9: Epilogue - When a hospital royally f**ks up

4 months later.

Your eyes open. Everything hurts. Like when you don't move around for a long time and your muscles begin to atrophy from non-use. There's cords and machines everywhere. Something wrapped around your forehead and face. Ouch. It hurts to breath.

There's a tube in your mouth. You grab for it. Machines start beeping while panic rises. Nurses run in. It's okay one says. We'll take it out okay. You nod. It hurts when they do. It stings. You try to speak but it's like your voice is gone.
You-"Where am I?". Your voice sounds rough. Different. .
Nurse-"In the hospital. You were in an accident. One of many that day. We fought so hard and are happy you are still here."
You-"Hhmm an accident?" You remember all of sudden and jump up and fall right back. So dizzy.
You-"How long have I been out?".
Nurse-"It's been a year. We could see your brain was still working so we didn't want to stop life support. And your family agreed".
You-"Where's Vee?"
The nurse looks at you confused.
Nurse-"Who?"
You-"Vee? My girl... fiance. "

The nurse is more confused. Girlfriend?
Nurse-"Mr park. Please rest. Maybe your just confused."
You- "Park? My name isnt Park."
Nurse- "What? What do you mean? What's your name then?"
Chan- "My name is Bang Christopher Chan".

The nurse gasps. Oh no. They must've mixed up the tags somehow the day they came in. Their faces were so messed up but they also looked so similar. Him and the other man who had come in from the same accident. The world had mourned the loss of the leader of Stray Kids. And because they made a mistake it had not been true. Legal was going to have a heart attack. The nurse picks up the phone. She knows she has to make the call and they will have to take the consequences that will come from this.
