"Urgh..." I woke up to see a white ceiling.

My head is aching as I try to sit up.

I look around my surroundings and notice that I'm in a hospital.

"Where...?" I turn to my left and see a familiar person next to me, sleeping. "Kid...?"

*MINORI*

I was sleeping soundly until I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I grumble. "Mmm... what?"

I blinked my eyes until just got used to my surroundings and see Mr. Klaus awake.

My eyes went wide and my heart beat faster.

"Mr. Klaus!!!" I hugged him tightly. "Y-you're alive...!" I was so overjoyed that I couldn't help but cry.

"O-oi, kid. What's up?" Mr. Klaus roughly responded.

"Eh...?" I let go of him and take a step back.

'Kid'?

There's only one person who calls me that and that's...

"Y-your memories... They're..." His memories are back. Does that mean...?

"How about you, kid? Are you alright? That was some car crash though. There's no doubt it was those guys who attacked you." He hangs his head down. "It was all my fault. Sorry..."

"Come to think of it... Why do you look 10 years older...?" He scratched his head.

"Uhh... That's..." how am I going to explain this?

"You've been... in a coma for more than 10 years already." I lie through my teeth.

I expected him to be surprised but he was unexpectedly calm about it. "Is that so? Then... I must be an old man by now, huh?" He grins.

"A-anyway, you have a lot of thinking to do right now, right? I'll go fetch the doctor." I hurriedly leave my seat and go outside to inform the doctor and the nurse.

As I was walking down the hallway, I scratched my head. "I'm sorry I lied." I whispered to myself.

I told the doctor about what happened and mentioned my lie. Thankfully, he was understanding and decided to play along. He seemed to believe that I'll tell Mr. Klaus the truth someway/day or another.

A few days later, when everything was taken care of, Mr. Klaus was discharged with a 100% recovery.

On our way to his house, he started humming. "Man, it's been some time since I breathed some outside air."

"Well, it has been some time after all." I giggled.

"Its kinda weird though. Shouldn't I feel weak and like, forgotten how to walk or some shit? I feel absolutely fine." He wondered. Gosh, this man is witty.

"Well, that's because it's only been a week when you were hospitalized and not 14 years." If only I could say that but I didn't and only kept quiet.

"Hey, kid. Are ya listening or not?" He bumped his head with mine and I panic. His face is too close...!

"W-w-what is it?!" I stuttered, feeling my ears growing hot.

"Hoh... you became quite a pretty woman after all these years, huh?" His sly words make me blush even more. "But by that exaggerated reaction just from being close to me, you're still a brat, huh?"

"What was that?!" I punch his shoulder and he snickered.

I've never seen the current Mr. Klaus laugh nor talk like this. They're the same person but their personality is completely different...
