it's been 4 hours since then.
and also, this was the third time Emily had visited the young man.
part of the young man's body may have been treated and also bandaged.
when she finished putting some lavender into the vase beside the young man, for some reason Emlily looked at him instead.
but when she tried to touch the young man's shoulder, a flash of dark memories returned to her.
the dark memory of when she was stoned by children for no apparent reason made her hands seem to stop moving for a moment.
unfortunately when emily turned around and rushed to the door, the young man finally opened his eyes and he could only move his hands as if he wanted to call Emily.
even so..
" emily, don't worry. he will wake up soon. You have done the best for him.
ah.. you awake! "
Damien immediately ran over to the young man who seemed to be forcing himself to sit down.
" You still have to rest first. or your wound will open again. " said Damien who was feeling worried.
" where am i? "
" don't worry. You are in my clinic.
I also still have to check your condition first. Your body is in an unstable state.
oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Damien Kent.
what's your name? "
but instead he felt a pain in his head. strangely again, he even saw a small flash of memory on him, with the same situation, but in the rain.
he sighed for a moment. then..
" Brian.. Brian J. seth " he said in a weak voice.
" please to meet you, Brian.
oh.. you may have met my cousin earlier, huh?
she immediately ran and told me to treat you.
she sometimes comes here and also brings some lavender flowers to this vase.
i guess she's worried that you won't wake up, considering you're in pretty bad shape. " he said.
" your cousin? "
suddenly he remembered the quiet girl who brought the flower earlier.
" i see. "
" I will prepare warm porridge for you. After that, I'll go back to checking the bandages on your body.
I'm sure your sleep has made you hungry. "
The funny thing is, hearing the word hungry actually makes Brian's stomach growl.
it also made Damien laugh a little.
" don't worry. I won't be long. please rest.
and, uhm..
You can tell me later, about how you got like this. because if you look at the surface of your lips, and also a part of your weak body. I can assume that you had a bad experience for almost one day. "
how surprised he was that damien was able to find out his condition. but he considers it natural because as a doctor of course you must know the patient's condition.
" sure, i'll tell you later.
but i hope she will not hear this.
last time, the response is strange and her hands are shaking "
Hearing this, Damien was silent for a moment.
until..
" well, i'll tell you when the right time has come. deal? "
" deal. " he said nodding.
" good. now, excuse me! "
He knows that it's not easy to tell someone he just met.
because he had promised not to let his cousin fall further into a deep depression.
but on the other hand, he feels that this person named brian also experiences things that cannot be easily expressed.
