It is dark and cold but he is sweating. He couldn't see anything. His hands are looking for something to grasp so he could stand straight.
He finally took a grip of something soft but even colder than what he feels. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and he looked at the lifeless thing his hand is able to hold.
It is a hand of someone familiar yet strange to him. He tried to remember a name but he couldn't say a word. He looked up trying to look for a face.
But all he can see is a faceless image bathed in blood.
Then he heard a very loud sound of a gunshot.
"SEJUN!!!"
Justin woke up screaming. "Sejun" he whispered the name he just shouted. He is chasing his breath, his hands buried in the sheets. A hissing sound keep ringing in his ears so he shook his head trying to remove that sound, but he couldn't.
"Sir Justin ok lang po kayo?"
"N-nay M-maring, g-gamot ko po" he stuttered.
Kumuha ang matanda ng tubig at pinainom sa kanya.
"Hindi! Yung gamot ko po!" He panicked.
Wala rin itong nagawa kundi kumuha ng gamot sa bote at pinainom sa kanya.
He slowly stopped shaking and was able to breathe normally. He stood up and forcefully took his IV off, ignoring the pain in his arm.
"Justin, nak san ka pupunta?" Nag-aalalang tanong ng matanda.
"Nay si Sejun? kelangan kong puntahan si Sejun. Ano nangyari sa kanya? Nasa'n sya?"
Nagkatinginan naman ang nurse at si Nay Maring.
"Nak sya ba yung kasama mong nabaril?wala kaming balita, inilipat ka kasi ng hospital ni tita Emma mo."
"Ano?" A sudden jolt of pain struck his head. "Bakit ako nilipat? Asan na si Sejun Nay?"
