He was standing at the poolside. A memory flashed by of when they were little and used to dip their feet in the cold water while letting the cool breeze ruffle their bangs.

He took out his cell phone and dialled for ambulance before entering into the warm water and submerging himself into it.

With warm water, cerebral anoxia becomes irreversible between 3 to 10 minutes. Consciousness is usually lost within 3 minutes of submersion. the struggle for life with rising and sinking of the body goes on for a variable period, depending on the vitality of a person, until he remains submerged.

“Do Kyungsoo”

“Yes”

“How do you feel? Is your new heart treating you well?” his doctor asks him as part of his routine follow up

“It is going fine. I feel a little different. Like suddenly i like candy and pink outfits” and he makes a face that peels out a laughter from the normally stern surgeon.

“I am sure that’s just you probably. But if you feel anything even remotely alarming, call up
