Tick.


Tick.


Tick.


Tick.


The sound of a clock could be heard from a distance. Jimin felt a lot of pain on his body as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around to see himself on a bed. On a hospital bed.

He gasped.

How did I get here?

Right opposite him, he saw a Police officer sitting on a chair, dozing off. He squinted his eyes to realise that it was Taeril on that chair. Jimin tried getting out of his bed to get to him but there was just too much pain on his legs to even move. He was curious about what had happened to him so he moved away the blanket that was covering his legs.

His eyes instantly widened in disbelief. He had bandages all the way from his thighs down to his ankles on both legs.

What had happened to me?

He was close to tears. At that moment, Taeril woke up to the sound of Jimin fidgeting on his bed. Upon seeing Taeril looking at him, tears started trickling down Jimin's cheeks.

"What happened to me...?" Jimin asked in between his sobs.

"You got into an accident with a truck," Taeril responded, coming over to Jimin.

He sat down on the bed before looking to Jimin's legs.

"My legs––why are they..." Jimin sobbed, covering his face with both his palms.

"Umm... your skin scraped away underneath the truck and––you were bleeding profusely," Taeril responded hesitantly.

Jimin was in complete shock hearing what Taeril had said. He was also confused. He could only recall himself being in the lounge room at the Police station and that was all. He could not remember anything else afterwards.

But why?

"Huh what? I can't remember anything!" Jimin exclaimed frastratedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Please, just rest. You have just woken up six days after the accident," Taeril told him.

I was out for six days?

"W-what? What day is it today?" Jimin asked, his eyes widened.

"It's Thursday, 20 August. You were in the ICU unit for four days before you were placed here," Taeril said.

I was in the ICU?

I could not believe my ears.

How did all this happened without me knowing?

"When you're better, I'll bring you back to the Police station," Taeril said.

Jimin just nodded before lying down on his bed.
