Chapter 16 | Do You Remember?
Years of being with them was great joy. I've been missing them every minute that they are not by my side. All those tears I shed and laughter that ever came out of my mouth, were always been a memory that I'll keep in my mind. Now that I'm losing them, I feel so alone. I feel my heart is being torn apart. I know this is a test given to me by God but why should they die? Why? These events are leaving a hole in my heart. I feel like a puzzle losing its pieces. Without them, I feel incomplete. What if I forget this memories? Will I able to get them back? If I do get them back, how long will it take?
I felt someone touched my hand and that made me open my eyes in shock. I looked at the one who touched my hand. He looked so worried. "How are you feeling Hae Joo." He said. I still don't know who he is. I have no memory of him. I don't know him.
"W-who are y-you M-mister?" Was the only thing that came out of my mouth. He looked shocked. He then grabbed my hand and looked at me sincerely. I grabbed my hand back because of shock. I don't really know him. This stranger kept holding my hand. Who is he really?
"Hae Joo what are you saying?" He said with doubt in his voice. Did he called me Hae Joo? I know Hae Joo isn't my name. I saw the doctor came in. I sighed in relief. Finally. He can get rid of this man.
"Doc, what's happening to her? Why can't she remember me?" Remember you? I don't even know you so how could I remember you? And why am I in a hospital? Did something happened?
"Maybe it's because of the antidote that was injected inside of her that made her forget who you are." The doctor said to the man. Who is he really? Do we know each other? "Mrs. Jeon, how are you feeling?" I stayed quiet. Is he talking to me? I looked at my left and right and saw no one so that means the doctor is really talking to me.
"M-me?" I said; stuttering and I pointed at myself. I saw the doctor nodded. So he's really talking to me but what did he said? Mrs. Jeon? "Mrs. Jeon? I think you got it wrong. I'm not married yet. I'm just 11 so how could I possibly been married?" Their faces show concern. What's really happening.
"What's the date today?" The doctor asked. He's weird. Why would he ask what is the date today. He should know because he's a doctor.
" It's May 23, 2011." I said confidently. They looked at each other and they walked near the window; only enough for me not to hear their conversation.
I looked at my thigh. Why do I have bandage here? Why does it hurt that much? Did I somehow got involved in an accident or I was on my hunting for killers?
I looked at the door when it opened and revealed someone that I surely know. "Rynne." I paused. "Why are we here? Did we go on a special mission and I got shot?" She smiled at me. I smiled back and she patted my shoulder.
"I guess you finally came to your senses." Rynne said. It left me puzzled. What does she mean by that? The man from earlier and the doctor headed towards back here from where I am.
"Mrs. Jeon, it's July 17, 2018. You're already 18 (a/n: 17 in international age) now. You have been here in the hospital for 6 days." The doctor said that left my mouth open. Have I skipped time? Did I travel through space and time? How is this possible? I'm just 11!! 2018 really?!
The man gave me a mirror and I looked at my reflection. I saw me. A very matured me. How did this happen? Have I been comatose for 7 years but no. The doctor said 6 days. I was confined here since July 11, 2018 so that means I am really 18. "Doc, if I'm 18 now and it's 2018, how come I can't remember anything? Even how I got this gunshot wound."
"It's memory loss." The doctor said.
"Memory loss?" I asked and he nodded. So I've been living for 18 years in this world and ¼ of my memory had been erased or maybe its somewhere here in my head, probably concealed.
