A week after the accident.

Place: Hongkong Authority Hospital

“Present.” a tall guy with tanned skin called Dr. Lim pointed at the guy with 6 feet tall height. The pointed guy quickly pulls out the chart he has been hiding behind his back and start reading.

“Ms. Shao Huan, class 3, MELD 20, end stage liver disease, scheduled to receive a transplant today. Donor liver arrives at 16.30. I have been keeping her happy and healthy for the surgery this afternoon. No need to worry.”

“Thanks Lucas. Mark?”

“Mr. John Doe. Everything about him is still unknown, except the broken phone that did not give much information. Post-op day 7, there is no any significant progress or reaction as of this morning, but no sign of brain dead, and vital are stable.”

“Well, it is not uncommon for the brain surgery patient. What about the police search?”

“Police has been intensely working to find this guy’s identity but there’s no information at all.”

Dr. Lim let out a deep sigh. “Let’s wait until he wakes up, then. Mark, keep an eye on him.”

Mark nodded as Dr. Lim walks away to evaluate his other patients. He heaved a deep sigh when he makes sure Dr. Lim is quite away before smacking Lucas’ arm with his chart.

“Argh! What’s your problem?” Lucas hissed in discomfort. His hand patting the arm that harshly hit by Mark.

“You got that transplant surgery and I got to watch somebody who Dr. Lim does not even know when he will wake up? This is unfair. When will I learn? I have skipped so much lessons played an FBI instead with all these investigations. For God’s sake, I want to be a surgeon, not a police!” typical Mark, starts to complaining here and there when unfairness is on his side. While when Lucas was on disadvantage, Mark would make sure to be the first person who laughs at his misery.

What a friend, huh?

“At least you got the brain surgery.”

“Oh yeah, and that was like.. a decade ago! While you got the transplant, the cardiac myxoma, the tumors, and all the good things that I will never get until this John Doe wakes up,” here Mark goes again with his roller coaster of words. Lucas swears that if this guy did not become a doctor, he could at least be a decent rapper.

“Wow, I do not know that getting a tumor is a good thing.”

Mark rolls his eyes in response to his friend’s sarcasm.

“Could we exchange cases?”

“We?” Lucas widened his eyes and pointed at himself and back to Mark’s chest.

Mark nods, all smiling.

“...do you mean I am sacrificing this transplant surgery in order to be a loser who just sits on the bench and drained out my knowledge out of my—“

“Dr. Lee!” a nurse suddenly approaches them in hurry, addressing Mark’s name.

“Yes.”

“Mr. John Doe is awake.”

Mark gasped before turns around to see Lucas’ face which just expressed ‘Go away’.

“Bye loser!” Mark screams through the aisle while running to the mentioned patient's room. Lucas shook his head in disbelief watching what his bestfriend is capable to do from afar and left to check his other patient.

Dr. Lim comes in rush to the John Doe's room a few minutes after Mark. He checks on the vital of the patient who looks confused and scared of what Dr. Lim does when he puts a flashlight in front of his eyes. His hands trembled, he is about to attack but his body seems too weak for doing so.

“Sir, you are at the Hongkong Hospital Authority now. You just had a brain surgery and a minor surgery on your leg. Can you hear me?”

“Where am I?” the said John Doe is speaking in a language which is not native to the ears of everybody in the room. Mark approached Dr. Lim and speaks on John Does’ behalf, “I have tried to speak with him, apparently he is neither Hongkonger nor Chinese. He is a Korean.”

“How do you know?”

“He speaks some Korean, it sounds similar to how my Father speaks to his relatives.” Mark tries to explain and getting a glare from a pair of eyes belong to Dr. Lim instead. Before he was shot with a dunk of anger, Mark is hurrily putting both of his palms to Dr. Lim to sign him for a stop, “I know what you are thinking, but no. I cannot speak Korean. My Father is a Korean descent but he never spoke any Korean to me. The only word I know is annyeonghaseyo.”

Dr. Lim massaged his temple and made a decision, “Call a translator now.”

“No.” Mark shook his head faster than lightning. “Lucas could speak Korean. He got his medical degree in SNU.”

“Then get me Lucas now!”

That is how finally Mark’s case is exchanged with Lucas’. Mark is currently skimming some reading materials for preparing to assist in the liver transplant this afternoon, while Lucas is sparing his medical skills for being a translator instead. He throw glares to Mark once or twice before Dr. Lim caught him doing that and Lucas returns to focus asking the John Doe.

“Apparently he has a retrograde amnesia. He forgets almost everything and he only remembers his surname, I guess, which is Kim, and there are actually million Kims in Korea.” Lucas explained.

“I saw that he looks uncomfortable with camera too, he might be a Scopophobia in the past, but he is only afraid with camera. He attacks a nurse when she tried to take a picture of him for the police’s courtesy and he attempts to throw random stuffs at CCTV as well.” Mark added.

“Shouldn’t you be studying?” Dr. Lim warned him, and it was clear that Lucas’ breathe that follows the end of Dr. Lim’s remark sounds like he holds his laughters.

“Sure, sure.” Mark left the two and goes to the direction of resident’s lounge instead.

“…but Mark is right. We cannot take his picture at this moment, especially when he is in a huge shock like this. It would be burdensome for his recovery too if somebody who knows him comes and pours him some memories. Actually this is perfect for his recovery.”

“Well, sure..” Lucas approves what his senior said.

“…but who will pay the bill, though? Looking at his chart and vitals, he could be discharged tomorrow. He just needs some therapy to make him stand by his own.”

Lucas shrugs his shoulders.

“Anyway, keep him company.” Dr. Kim pats Lucas’ shoulder before waling away from him. Lucas finally knows how Mark feels when he was benched for almost a week now and he feels a bit compliant to have Mark doing his case instead because that boy surely deserves it.

The tall guy enters the apparently Kim John Doe’s room and sit on the e
