The Awakening
Where's My Silver Lining ?Since when was my room white in colour ? Did Howon repaint it without my permission ?
Where's my frog-shaped clock ?
My room smells weird. Too much antiseptic.
Why is there a picture of roses hanging on the wall ? Weird. I hate roses.
Exactly how long have I been sleeping ?
And why does my head hurt so much ?
I touched my head and my fingers came in contact with something soft. Are these bandages ? I tilted my head to my left. A long tube s from a clear, white plastic bag and disappeared under the blanket. I pulled off the blanket and saw that the tube was connected to my arm. Wait, why am I connected to this ? Where the hell am I ? Panic bells start ringing in my head.
A pale, worried face hovers above me. HOWON OPPA. I sighed with relief.
" Ho-eun ah, are you awake ? Ho-eun , can you hear me ? Are you okay ? Can you see me ? " Panic rising in his voice.
" Mmhmm, " was all I could managed. My throat felt prickly and dry.
" OHMYGOD. Really !!? Thank God ! I was worried sick about you okay ! How could you do this to me ? If something really happened to you, what am I suppose to do ? How can I face Mom and Dad ? "
I swear I saw a tear rolled down his cheek. My brother, crying ?
I smiled weakly. It's so funny to see my usually " cool " brother panicking like a headless chicken. Amusing.
" Why are you smiling ? "
" What happened ? Where is this place ? " I croaked. My throat hurts.
" You don't remember ? " Howon asked, obviously shocked at my question.
I looked at my brother with genuine confusion.
" You actually don't remember huh ? That's strange. You're in the hospital silly ! You were attacked by some thugs and hit your head on an electric pole. "
Oh wow.
" And you've been in a coma for almost 2 months already ! "
OH WOW.
