The Following Day….
First Day…

Kibum the twins clinging unto him tightly and checks on Minho then gasps finding out he has gone out of the bed – unsure of what to do next, stays to let the kids sleep and wait til they wake up. Incidentally waiting for the kids to wake up puts him to sleep as well.

Later Kibum has found himself in a place he thinks he had been but could not remember exactly where it was – including the rough sketch of overlapping flashes of memories and the number of like-still-pictures passing by – deeply confused, he tries focusing to understand what they entail…

Afterward Kibum could see a vivid image of a woman approaching him wearing a warmth smile on her face – hypnotized by what he sees seems to be a wonderful sight – waits for what comes next. Stunned, when suddenly the woman surrounded with glimmering rays of light extends both of her hands and moving closer towards him.

While moving and drawing closer towards him, a wisp of cold wind touches his face and like an unexplainable feeling of calmness – Kibum beams in gladness. As the woman comes face to face with him – met her eyes and astounded to see how peaceful and eternally happy she seems looks like.  He smiled back then suddenly what follows astounded him when she speaks…

“Kim Kibum… Don’t forget who you were and with…
The answers for all the questions you have been
asking since two years ago are within your grasps…
Please remember Minho and your children,
the twins – Minnie and Kibummie – they are your family now…”
 

“Minho and the twins are my family…?
How did it come to that… and by the way, this may sound rude…
may I know who you are…?”
Kibum asks….
 

“I am from your past as well and the cause of your loss of memory.
I am so sorry for not having to tell you about my plans
but I just did not want to create painful memory of my passing.
The only protection I could give you while in that moment
of car accident was to protect your life from severe injuries
and thank God, I succeeded…”
Says the woman….
 

“Yes… you are right, according to medical reports I had
a car accident and suffering from amnesia but what
confuses me up to now – why am I so isolated…
no one comes to help me remember my past…woman…?”
Inquires Kibum…
 

“Kibum, you chose to be alone except with who you
thought owned the name you first spoke when you
woke up that even I, find it impossible to visit you in your dreams.
I am so happy now, that you have slowly opened
your heart – this way, I can be able to communicate with you
and even help you regain your memory back…”
Replies the woman…
 

“What do you mean by what you just said,
if I have opened my heart …?”
Asks Kibum…
 

“It is only when you open your heart that you will allow
possibilities of experiencing other emotions other than
the current feeling you are under with.
For almost two years, you let your mind control you unwelcoming
what your heart is trying to reveal to you.
Please re-trace your past…”
Smiling faintly as to like pleading…
 

“How…please help me…
I am more confused than ever…
I don’t have a recollection of my past…”
Insists Kibum…
 

“I will say my name and thus, my name can
help you go back over past…”
Answers the woman…
 

“So please tell me your name…?”
Inquires Kibum…
 

“Natalie…  I hope this will help as an onset of
your journey to your past…”
Says Natalie….
 

Soons as Natalie disclosed her name, she also fades away from his sight and yet the echoes of her voice reverberate like a chorus that is considered catch in every song…

“Open your heart Kibum…
don’t worry, I will see you again…
Remember my name… Natalie…”
 

“Natalie… Natalie…Natalie…”
Kibum calls her repeatedly…
 

“Appa… appa….apppa… wake up…appa…”

Kibum awakens sweating and gasping for air, uttering…

“Natalie…wait…huh…Minnie….Kibummie…
(puffs) so it is… dream…”

Minnie:            (concerned tone) Appa… appa… you arr dreaming…

Kibummie:       (whispers to Minnie) Minnie…Appa said Nachalie…

Minnie:            (nods and said) Appa…
                        we heard you koll awr mother’s name…Natsalie…

Kibum coming back from his senses paused and look at the kids thinks, “The twins” and continuously gazes like creating a lucid picture in his mind’s eye of them in relation with his dream – makes a deciding conviction of finding out secretly about his past.

Meanwhile the kids observing Kibum’s behaviour look at each other in wonder. Minnie nudges on Kibummie to keep silent and let Kibum regains him self thus the latter moves towards Minnie and hold the latter’s hand feeling confused – thus, Minnie embraces her brother to calm him down. However Minnie’s curiosity kicks in, despite Kibummie’s hesitancy; she moves closer to Kibum patting his right thigh and asks…

“Appa…arr you  awrite…?
You arr shtaring heafily on us…pwease…
and Appa you were tsalking in your dream tsoo…”

Kibum snapping from a deep trance, realizing what his behavior has become of the twins, covers his face while saying …

“Minnie… Kibummie… good morning, I am alright.
I am sorry for making you worry…

(looks around eyes searching for Minho)
