What is that buzzing? No… not a buzz but a beeping. I want to open my eyes and see but my lids seem so heavy. Not just my eye lids but my whole body seems numb. What happened to me? Why can’t I move or open my eyes?

“Did she just move?”

Who is that? I hear voices.

“That can’t be. She has been in a coma for 3 years.”

What?! Coma?

“No look!  She moved again!”

Of course I’m moving! I’m a living being!

“Soo get Dr. Jung.”

“I’m telling you Sunny it is impossible for her to wake up. She is probably a vegetable by now.”

I’m getting Dr. Jung to figure that out.”

“You are wasting your time Sunny.”

“Doesn’t matter. You know how much Dr. Jung cares for this patient.”

Hum who is this doctor? Does he know me? do I even know me? Name? Age? Married? Who am I?

“Did you say she was awake?” a woman? Do I have a female doctor? Hum she has a cute voice… maybe not my doctor?

“Sunny got all excited over some twitching. Normal for comatose patients.”

Oh I feel a weight on my bed… did she sit next to me?

“Let me just take a look.”

Ouch! What was that?

“She has pain response.”

No kidding! I’m not dead! No more poking!

Ah what is that light! Wait I’m not blind?

“Her pupils dilated to light…Taeyeon can you hear my voice?”

Yes!

“Try tapping your fingers if you hear me.”

Tap tap tap… umm am I doing it or just thinking?

“Whoa she just tapped! She is awake?”

“Taeyeon if you are listening, you were in a serious accident 3 years ago and just woke up from a coma. Don’t panic if you can’t move certain parts of your body or have memory loss. Things will return to you gradually. I am Dr. Jung your physician. I will watch you closely but if for some reason you wake and I’m not here, the call button is next to your bed.”

Hum my doctor seems very nice.

“Suuny and Sooyoung I want you to double your rounds with her. If her eyes open, call me immediately even if I’m off duty.”

“Yes mam!”

Aww she has a cute giggle. I feel like I’m in good hands. I must wake up!
