Unreal (KaiStal f.f)

Ch. 21

Walking away from the room, I stroll down the hospital as I bury myself in my thoughts. What had been happening to me for the past 12 hours is incredibly abnormal and I'm tempted to tell Dr. Seo what's going on. However, how can I tell him if I can't even remember what the memories, or whatever they were, were?

A few nights ago, I suddenly remember, Jongin called out a girl's name several times. Krystal, I remember it. It now sounds very familiar to me, but I'm still not able to figure whose name it is. I can't find his Krystal out of the many other Krystals on this world.

Frustrated, I let out a breath of air and continue walking. If I remember correctly, Dr. Seo's office should be somewhere around here. I look at each of the room numbers and label on the doors, looking for one particular name in general.

Room 205 - Neurologist, Dr. Seo Ro Joo

Without thinking of manners at all, I push open the door and step inside. At first, all I see is him at his desk doing his usual thing, but when I look at him for another second I can tell he's not doing what he usually does.

Dr. Seo looks up at me, completely horrified. I close the door and kind of smile, just so that he can't guess what happened this morning.

"You. You're crazy," he opens up his Chip and the hologram shines from his wrist. I, who really wants to ask more about what he's talking about, watch as he dials someone and holds his wrist up to his mouth.

"Hello?" A voice answers. Female.

"Dr. Lee, go find Jongin and bring him to my other office."

My eyes widen in fright. Did I do something that's causing Jongin to, maybe, get locked up? Is that why he called me crazy?

Dr. Seo ends the call and then looks back at me. His eyes show confusion but amazement at the same time, but I'm not sure which is more dominant.

"Come, sit. We need to talk about your results."

At first, I hesitate. I mean, he could probably try to murder me right now because he probably thinks I'm nuts or something. Yeah, totally, I'm seriously going mad.

No joke, though.

In the end, I force myself to sit down in the ever-so stressful chair and sit with my back straight as a book.

"Your other self has a strong will, really."

I look up at him and ask what he means. He leans back into his chair and then looks out his windows, watching the sun shine it's rays into the room.

"You're remembering things, Soojung. How do I explain this well enough so you can understand?" he leans forward so his elbows are on the desk.

"Your brain recognizes anything that reminds it of its past, but it's a little difficult to remember anything because you're not letting go of the fear of regaining memories." He pauses and then continues on without looking at me at all. "We're almost sure we know who your partner is, also. We just need to check to make sure..."

All the stress that was once on my shoulders is still there but slowly beginning to fall off; what he said about me not having much will to remember really hurts me, but him saying that they are almost positive they know who my partner is is something I really want to hear.

"Do I get to know who that person is? Will I get to meet him soon?" I ask like a curious monkey. The doctor just purses his lips and shuts off his computer.

"You've already met him, Soojung."
