Letting You Go
Jongin
I open my eyes slowly and the first face I see is Yeonhee. My vision is still blurry but I can tell it's her.
"You're awake!" she exclaimed.
Her head is wrapped in bandaged and so is her left arm. I try to say something but she immediately runs out of the room to call for any doctors or nurses.
My head is still dizzy and my body is aching everywhere. Flashback memories of the accident starts to hit my brain. I was stopping at a red light then a truck hit me. I remember I lost control of my car when it spinned. Oh gosh this flashbacks hurt my head!
"Mr Kim!" a doctor appears by the door.
He runs a thorough check up on me, my sight, hearing, voice, breathing, bruises, cuts, wounds, everything. He is expecting amnesia but surprisingly I remember what happened. While he is explaining to me about my internal injuries, my head starts throbbing.
Arghh. Another flashback comes. I feel like I am watching my own car spins and it's going to hit a lady standing at the side of the road.
I massage my temple. My head feels very heavy after the flashback came.
"Mr Kim? A flashback? It's normal for anyone who has head injury. But I know it hurts. You will feel like your head is going to explode. We'll give you painkiller and please rest. I'll inform the surgeon to come and check up on your internal injuries"
After the doctor and nurses left, Yeonhee steps closer to my bed. She has been standing by the window all this while, observing.
"You are still here" I said. Slow but enough for her to hear my voice.
She smiles at me. She smiles.
Looking at her condition right now, I'm sure she's injured too. I can only remember she was there in the ambulance with me. Was she there when the accident happened?
"You're injured too?"
"Just minor injury. It's not that bad."
I try to move but god... it hurts everywhere.
"You should rest. Don't move too much. I don't know how to contact your family. I tried to call Sehun but I couldn't reach him. I've tried everything. Your phone is half working but thankfully just now a lady called. You saved her name as 'gummybear'. I told her to come here"
'Gummybear'? Oh no Seulgi is coming. I haven't seen her for almost a year and this is how I'm going to greet her. What a grand surprise. I have known Seulgi since my college years and we had this push and pull relationship. We can be a couple for a while, then broke up, then got together again. The cycle goes on till I lost count how many times we broke up.
I look at Yeonhee who is standing next to my bed. Has she stayed with me all this while? She can just leave but she stayed. Why would you help me Yeonhee?
"Thank you Yeonhee-ssi. Really, I owe you big time" I said. It is not out of courtesy, but I'm really thankful to her, sincerely, for being there until I'm awake.
Suddenly the door is opened. I thought it is one of the nurses but surprisingly it is Seulgi.
"What the hell happened?? Jongin! Oh my gosh!!" she said, taken aback looking at my condition right now.
She's becoming more and more prettier. Her short hair is now longer. If you know how much I miss you Seulgibear...
"You're the lady on the phone..." Yeonhee said.
"Yes, I'm Kang Seulgi. How the hell did he...? Tell me what happened" Seulgi said to Yeonhee.
"There was an accident. A truck lose control and hit his car. I happened to be there. I was just trying to help but th
