"Jesus christ....." my head hurt like hell; i could barely move. I sat myself upright and looked around.

Nothing had changed since I knocked myself out on the desk, or so I thought. Something seemed out of place, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I got up from the bed and walked towards the desk. "How did i even end up there." I chuckled whilst looking at the bed.

I finally realized what was out of place. I didn't fall on the bed when i hit my head, i fell on the floor. So someone must've lifted me up and put me there, I thought to myself. "Great thinking Nick, but it won't solve shit.."

I was about to grab the note from my pocket again when i heard a ruffle behind me. I turned around only to see a person behind me, the lamp wasn't bright enough for me to see properly so i grabbed a chair "just in case" and carefully moved closer.

I got closer and closer but when i was about 1 meter away, i might have triggered something because all of a sudden the ceiling lit up like one of those big lamps on a sports field; blinding me and the other person. "Fuck!" I fell backwards against the wall hitting the back of my head this time.

I tried opening my eyes but it was just too bright. it took a while to finally get used to the brightness before i could open my eyes. I looked at the bed and noticed that this person was in fact another man. He had black hair and looked to be somewhere from Asia. "Who are you?.!" I stood up confused and still somewhat blinded. Guess it took a while for the confusion to set in, how did i not question anything when i got here in the first place?

"Who are you?.! Answer my question..!" I repeated. We looked each other on the eye for what seemed like ages before he hesitantly blurted out what i would assume was "no English"

"n-no English.?" I repeated after him. He looked at me with a sad expression and nodded. I've never been so stressed in my entire life, being stuck in a room with no exit? That's terrible. Being stuck in a room with no exit, and someone you can't understand? Even worse. Or not, maybe? I'm not sure yet, Who knows?

There was another long silence between us, until the other guy decided to break the silence. ".....  .. ..... ..?" He said while pointing at my pocket.
"I don't understand, sorry"
He pointed at my pocket more vigorously this time. "don't understand.. sorry" I said hoping he would understand. He finally had enough and walked over to me. He reached into my pocket and grabbed the note. "oh yeah! sorry.."

He flipped it upside down and started to read before looking at me with a shocked expression. That can't be good..
