[BTS V] Coma

13

I hear whispering.

They won't let me in the ward until they figure out what the hell is happening. Eomeoni is with Yujin right now.

Yujin.

"Taehyung?" The door opens and Doctor Han gestures for me to come in.

"She's abit unstable right now. Don't pressure her too much okay?" he says, putting an arm around my shoulder while walking me in.

I see Eomeoni holding Yujin's hand so tightly and she's smiling right back at her. Oh god, that smile. Yujin looks up and notice me walking towards her. She blinks a few times but still looks at me as if I was a stranger.

"Yujin-shi, this is Taehyung. He's your friend from school."

"I –" she says. "I know."

"Wait what?" I run towards her and grab her hand. But just then, Yujin pulls her hand away and balls them into a fist.

"I know his Taehyung...But I don't remember him being my friend. I don't even remember us talking at all."

"You see Taehyung," Doctor Han drags me by the arm into the corner of the ward, "Just now, she didn't remember who you were because she was still in a trauma state."

"But her memory recovered slightly and she started remembering names and faces. However, she still can't remember the memories she has with people. That's too much of a leap for her in this state."

"So what you're saying is-"

"What I'm saying is, her memory can recover through time."

I'm feeling so numb. Yujin can remember me, but as the jerk I was.

Doctor Hans squeezes my shoulder as he walks pass me. He says a few words to Eomeoni before leaving the ward.

"I'll leave you two to talk." Eomeoni says with a gentle smile on her face.

"Ne Eomeoni." I reply, squeezing my hands in anxiousness.

Yujin scratches her head while staring at me with her eyebrows furrowed. "Eomeoni?"

Eomeoni lefts the room and I replace her and sit on the empty chair beside Yujin's bed. There was an unnatural silence that followed afterwards.

"So, how are you that close to my mom?" she asks.

"Uhm how do I put it to words." I turn to face Yujin whose eyes are so wide with curiosity and questions. "I'm your boyfriend."

"Wait, what?" she scoffs.

"I'm sorry but this is..." not being able to finish her sentence, she looks up and squeezes the bridge between her eyes. She shakes her head before continuing. "How are you my boyfriend? The last thing I remember about you was..." she closes her eyes shut. "You're dating some girl from another class and-"she opens one eye, "You're hair was all dark brown."

I reach up my hands to touch my hair which I dyed a lighter shade of brown, "Ah, you're right. But that was last time when-" Suddenly, my body tenses up at the thought of something. During my dark brown era...it was a few years back after Yerin...

"Do you remember about Yerin then?"

Yujin expression suddenly turns dark. "Oh, yea." She mutters softly. "While I was in coma, the last thing I saw was her before I woke up. I almost forgot she died. How stupid, I thought I was still dreaming."

"Aniya. I'll feel the same way."

Her lips curls into a weak smile and she sighs.

"I can't believe it. I woke up, and forget a year of my memory." She shakes her head and run a hand down her face.

"What happen?"

And at that moment, I can feel the hair on my arms standing. All this while I was so busy taking care of Yujin I forget to go back to the roots of this matter.

What really happen to her?

The next day, I didn't go to the hospital immediately like how I always used to. Anyways, I should probably give them space. I'm now at the police centre, shaking my legs anxiously while waiting for my name to be called out.

"Taehyung-shi?"

I immediately stand up and walk toward the booth in front of me. As I sat, I greet the police officer who yawns in response.

"Did you found the car plate?" I ask, not wanting to sound like I'm pressuring him.

The police man hums lowly and looks up from the screen, "Unfortunately, we couldn't get any video traces of that night itself. It seems that the surveillance road cameras were undergoing maintenance so they were shut off on that night."

"Is there any way that the culprit can be found then?"

"I'm not sure. You should ask the detectives or something." He replies boringly.

I'm loosing my cool now. "So you're saying that you can't find the culprit?"

He sighs and mutters a few words to himself before replying me. "Listen kid, we police officers are busy, alright? D'you think we sit our asses here for almost 10 hours a day doing nothing? Were trying our best-"

"Then you're not doing enough!" I stand up, slamming my fist on the table. He stands up and shouts at me, but I'm too numb to even hear what his saying. I turn around and storm out of the police centre, not wanting to be dragged out instead.

Why was it that on that night of the accident, not even one camera was on? Camera maintenance? More like somebody was trying to maintain low profile.

Just then my phone rings and it's a call from Doctor Han.

Doctor Han: Taehyung, how's your work coming up?

Me: I can't seem to get anything out from these lazy ass officers.

Doctor Han: We will figure out a way soon. By the way you left your jacket here. Why didn't you take it with you earlier on?

Me: Oh, I'll  come back to take it. I wanted to stop by the flower shop to buy some flowers to replace the old ones in the ward anyways. You know, since Yujin is awake and all.

Doctor Han: Wait, you don't know?

Me: Don't know what?

Doctor Han: They already left the hospital.
