I don’t know what’s happening to me. Sometimes I see things, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I hear someone calling my name and sometimes everything was just quiet. Every time I open my eyes, it’ll only be for a minute and then I was gone again. I hear people whispering around me sometimes but I can’t seem to wake up to join the conversation. I feel like I’m asleep for so long that my head aches already.   “Do you think she’ll wake up soon?” Oh I know that voice but I’m not sure if I’m right. I want to talk but my mouth won’t move and my eyes won’t open.   The voices started to become unclear. Now I don’t know what they’re saying.       There was I again seeing things but it was all a blur. I see people in front of me every time I open my eyes, I can tell they were talking but after a while, my eyes will just close.    “Sun Hee. Please wake up. Please.” I always here these words and at the same time I feel warmth on my hand. Someone’s always holding it tightly. Sometimes it’ll be gone for a while but after a while it’s there again. Huge warm hands always held me and every time it did, I would hear someone sobbing and saying my name over and over again.   “If you can hear me Sun Hee, please try to wake up. Don’t leave me. Please, not now.” I know him. I really do but I can’t talk and I can’t move. I want to but I just can’t. I want to hear him again. I wish he won’t stop talking. It makes me calm. “Wake up. Please.” I felt hands cupping my face while I heard the person talking. And then, I felt something wet fell over my face. It must be tears. Why’s he crying? I wish I can figure out why. After a while, I felt soft kisses on my cheeks and then I heard the sobbing again. I want to wake up. I want to. Talk again. Please talk again. “Don’t leave yet. Promise me you won’t.” Am I dead? I’m not sure. Am I alive? I’m not sure either. I’m sure of one thing though, I don’t want to leave yet. Not like this.     I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep but I was definitely not waking up. I want to but my system won’t make me. I couldn’t control it. I wish I could. I desperately do. But then again, every time I try, I fail. I can’t do anything.    “Why is she not waking up? Do something. Make her wake up!”   I feel like I’ve been sleeping for a hundred years. It doesn’t feel good at all. I feel like I’m dead and alive. I wish that I would wake up soon.    ---   | ONE WEEK LATER |   I’m starting to see things again. This time it was clearer. I tried moving my arm and it did. Oh I’m thankful it did. I opened my eyes but I’m not exactly sure where I am. When I saw an IV on my hand though, I figured out I was in the hospital. It was quiet and when I looked around, I saw my dad sleeping on a couch and boy sleeping beside me holding my hand. I didn’t even notice that.    I cleared my throat. It was hard to speak. It’s probably because I haven’t spoken for so long. I wonder how long I was asleep. I couldn’t remember anything.   I the boy’s hair beside me to make him wake up and when he did, his eyes widened and he just suddenly embraced me. I couldn’t breathe. He was making me breathless. I groaned and he released me quickly.   “Are you really awake?” Kris asked. He looked horrible. He had panda eyes that were horribly red and puffy too. I tried to say yes but it was so hard for me to speak so I nodded instead. “Oh God. I’m so glad you’re alive. Your dad’s here. Would you like to talk to him?” I nodded. Kris went towards my dad and as soon as he told him I was awake, my dad cried and ran towards me and hugged me. It’s been years since I last saw him cry. “I’m so glad you’re okay. I thought you were going to leave me.” I shook my head and hugged him tightly. My tears were forming under my eyes. “I’m going to tell the nurse. I’ll be right back.” Kris said.    My dad looked so happy. I’ve never seen him like this before but I’m glad I did.  “What happened to me?” I asked with a hoarse voice. “You don’t remember?”  I shook my head. “Your ex-boss had apparently bad plans during Kris’s birthday party. He was planning to kill him. Scaring you
