Its past midnight and Jimin is staring at the roof of the surgical room. 

"He knows my name. I'm sure of it." Jimin says to himself in his head.

He continues to get lost in his own thoughts.

"Yesterday..."

He keeps thinking about how Dr Rhee said his name. 

"Mr P- 99." Jimin repeats Dr Rhee's words in his head.

"Its like he was about to say my name, but then changed it to the number I told him..."

He cant stop thinking. He just wants to figure out what his real name is. 

"Mr... P..." Jimin says out loud.

"Mr... P?" Jimin say again.

He thinks if he continues to say "Mr P" to himself, then it may remind him what his real name is.

"Hello, Mr P-" 

"I'm, Mr P-"

"UGH!" Jimin shouts out of frustration.

"He has to know!! I'm just going to straight up ask him in the morning!" 

7 hours later~

Jimin is still awake and is waiting for Dr Rhee to walk through the door.

He finally hears the sound of a door knob turning.

"Morning, Mr 99." Dr Rhee says.

"Hi..." Jimin says in practically a whisper.

There was so much tension in the air because of what happened yesterday.

"I hope you feel better after your rest." Dr Rhee says.

Jimin doesn't say anything.

"Maybe not..." Dr Rhee says with a small attitude.

No words from Jimin. Just dirty looks.

"Look. Mr 99. We need to talk about yesterday." Dr Rhee says after a few moments.

"Why? There's nothing to talk about." Jimin says rudely.

"How did you manage to stand up and raise me from the ground, by my collar? Oh, and even threaten to punch me? What happened to not being able to walk? What happened to being weak and ill?" Dr Rhee asks Jimin

At first, Jimin hesitates and freaks out inside of his head because he knew he blew his cover. But then he just thinks of excuses for his actions.

"I mean, what can I say? Lets put you in my shoes for a second. If you were sick and weak, and someone, who was a Doctor started saying rude things to you about your family, PERSONAL information, wouldn't you get magically stronger because you want to defend yourself? Wouldn't you just want to get up off your weak body and fight them?" Jimin says while raising his voice.

Dr Rhee doesn't say anything.

"Well thats what happened... And by the way I didnt walk, I stood up. And I have muscles from before. I mean, its not like that I've always never been able to walk, right?"

"You're absolutely right there, Mr 99."

"So?"  

"So what?"

"Never mind." Jimin says giving Dr Rhee a dirty look.

"Whats with the look, Mr 99?" Dr Rhee asks.

"Look, I know you know my name." Jimin says straight up.

Dr Rhee starts off by hesitating a bit but then replies to Jimin.
