Forty: Another day in the hospital

"How many times I have to tell you that you've caught the wrong person? That was just an accident for me! If you doubt that was being planned from earlier, then you should catch the truck driver!" said Dae Ju in his own style.

"Ah! Really? Do you really think you are innocent?" said the cop who was interrogating him.

"Of course! I know you can't trust anyone in your position but believe me, I am innocent. My fault was just I didn't check before driving. That because I driver the taxi on that morning and it was fine then." said Dae Ju.

"But why you catch me? What did I do?" asked Jheong Woo confusedly.

"Because you were with him. Now sit down properly." said another cop who was standing next to the interrogator.

"You think you can cover your guilt that easily?" said the cop with a dangerous smile.

"What?" Dae Ju couldn't understand what he was talking about and look at him with a questionable eye.

"Tell me that you were not drunk that night?" saying this he put a paper in front of them. It was actually his medical report of that night when the accident happened. You were moved to the hospital right after you did the accident. And....." said the cop and he was saying more but Dae Ju interrupted him.

"I told you I did not....." saying this he has to stop because the cop shouted at him for interrupted in his talk.

"Quiet! Let me finish first!" shouted the cop loudly.

"And alcohol was found in your blood. So tell me now, you are not guilty at all?" said the cop with his angry mood.

"Ah! The thing is...." saying this Dae Ju stopped because he also didn't know that Rumi was drunk that night.

"But he seems fine except for his eyes!" said Dae Ju in his mind.

"Hmmh! I told you before that I will catch you no matter what." said the cop with his dangerous smile and look at both of them.

"You were drunk!" astonished Jheong Woo and look at him.

"I don't know either!" said Dae Ju whisperingly.

"Ah! But you are doomed now!" said Jheong Woo also whisperingly.

"Stop it already!" shouted the cop. Actually Dae Ju met him before too. That time Lina and his mental position were there to save him. But who is gonna save him now? He couldn't get any idea. So, he determined that he will tell him the truth now.

"Will you listen to me carefully?" said Dae Ju mysteriously.

"What?" asked the cop.

"Come here! It's secret!" saying this Dae Ju took his face near to the cop. The cop also came to him for listening to him. [Meanwhile at the hospital]

"Look how you are sleeping peacefully! You are really handsome. You are looking just like a sleeping prince. Let me tell you that you will remain the sleeping prince forever!" said the guy to Dae Ju's body. He was wearing a black suit with a black hat and black mask. His hand was covered with black gloves.

"I don't know what your fault is but you have to die." said the guy again to a nearly dead body. He was like dreaming in his deep sleep. There were so many machines around him to keep him alive. An oxygen mask must have to keep on his face so that he could able to breathe. The guy went close to him and slowly move the oxygen mask from his face. Then he went away from there quickly. He couldn't take a breath properly so the machines start to make noises.

[At the station]

"I am actually Kim Dae Ju. Our body swapped after the accident. That's why I can't remember anything. Now, please let me go and catch the real culprit. Once I went back to my body, then you could arrest him." said Dae Ju. Jheong Woo shocked by hearing that.

"What did you just do! How could you tell him!" said Jheong Woo.

"Don't worry! He will let us go now," said Dae Ju and smiled.

"Pour them in the locker." said the cop to his coworker with a very done face and get up from the chair.

"No! Listen! Aish!" said both of them. The other cop came to them and hold their collars to put them in jail. He almost threw them in the locker but suddenly Dae Ju's chest start aching and it's increasing fast. He couldn't take a breath. His all face turned pale and he fall down.

"Hey! Dae Ju-sshi! What happened?" shouted Jheong Woo. All the cops rushed there to see what actually happened.

"Mr. Rumi! Are you there? Open your eyes." said the cop who pulled them to the locker and pat on his face. "Ambulance. Call an ambulance!" said the cop who was investigating the accident. When he opened his eyes, he was in the boring hospital bed again. Whenever something happened to him and he passed out, he saw Lina after opening his eyes and that was the reason to make him soft for her. This time also he saw her and could understand that he didn't leave that body. He felt a little upset but a little happy that he could be able to see her again. Lina was doing something on the table. He couldn't understand what she was doing. He wanted to get up but seems like he has lost all his power so that he has to keep lying on the white bed. Lina noticed him and asked,

"Oh! You woke up?" Dae Ju shook his head positively.

"I'll call the doctor." saying this she was passing by him but he grabs her hand tightly. So she looks at him and he also looks at her. Both of their eyesight matched and Dae Ju felt a little hot. "What happened?" asked Lina being surprised. Dae Ju also didn't know why he grabs her hand but he needs to answer her.

"What happened to me?" asked Dae Ju. I don't know. I was informed by the police. They said to me what happened in the station. Dae Ju remembered the moment before passing out so he also remembered about Jheong Woo.

"Ah, right! Where is Jheong Woo?" asked Dae Ju slowly.

"He is outside. But why you are holding me so tightly? It hurts!" said Lina. Dae Ju let her go and said, "Ah! Sorry!" Lina went outside and he kept looking at her leaving. He never noticed her walking style but today he noticed and it feels nice to see her back.

"Aish! What are you doing! Just pull yourself together!" said Dae Ju in his mind. He was so bored that h wanted to run away from here but he can't as he is feeling weak. But still, he was trying to sit down and this time he succeeded by trying hard. He could smell the hospital air. Whenever he came hospital, he could smell it and he doesn't like it very much. After waiting a few moments, he heard that some footsteps. They were coming inside. He could guess that one is Lina's but the other's, he couldn't guess. The doctor, nurse, Lina, and Jheong Woo all came together.

"When did he wake up?" asked the doctor.

"Just now," answered Lina. The doctor came to him and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

"I don't know!" saying this with a done face he sighed.

"Hey! How could you don't know about yourself!" said Jheong Woo a little loudly.

"Please keep your voice low. This is a hospital." said the nurse. Hearing this, Jheong Woo stayed quiet.

"He has another heart attack. Seems like his heart has been weak. If it happened another time,...." saying this the doctor stopped. He was looking at Lina and suddenly he couldn't say the rest.

"Ah! I mean, that will be very dangerous. We have found a block on his main vein in his heart and that's the reason for his heart attack two times. You should be grateful that he is still alive." said the doctor with a very worried face. Hearing this Lina and Jheong Woo got shocked and Lina couldn't able to say anything. She looks at the floor first and then she looks at Dae Ju.

"What should we do now?" asked Jheong Woo. The doctor gestures them to go far from Dae Ju so that he couldn't able to hear anything but he could hear everything. "Aish! They should go outside if they didn't want to tell me," said Dae Ju in his mind.

"We need surgery. It's called open-heart surgery. In this, we have to cut the vein which is blocked and replaced it with another one. We need to tear his leg to took another vein and...." said the doctor.

"How much it would cost?" It's a little costly. It will cost about 5000 dollars in total." said the doctor.

"What! But this is too much costly! I can't afford it!" astonished Lina.

"We have no other choice. I can discount you 10%. Not more than that." said the doctor and tell something to the nurse by pointing at Dae Ju then he left. The nurse comes to check his blood pressure. She put a machine on his hand to test his BP.

"Look, I am okay. I don't need any surgery. I can deal with it. I am quite strong." said Dae Ju to the nurse.

"Yes, I understand. But you have no other choice." said the nurse and record his blood pressure.

"Aish! How can I make you understand that.... Hey! Jheong Woo! Come here!" he called. Jheong Woo came to him and said, "What happened?"

"Don't you think something is fishy here? I mean, I was fine a while ago. But why suddenly I have the attack?" said Dae Ju whisperingly.

"What would be fishy here? The doctor just said the reason! And you will be fine after the surgery." said Jheong Woo. He sat down on his knee beside Dae Ju so that they could talk secretly.

"No! I don't need any surgeries! It will be too late if I have a surgery right now! I need to go back! And this is not my body and my problem. So why waste money on me? And you also know this guy is no more! If they find the truth there will be a mess! Don't you think so?" said Dae Ju worriedly and whisperingly. Thinking for some time, Jheong Woo said, "You are right. I will do something about it so that they won't do the surgery. It will be a waste of huge money and you need money right now because the police also want a huge amount to spare you." "What? Aish! Those jerks! Why they are running behind me? They should catch that punk who tried to kill me!" said Dae Ju being aggressive. Dae Ju looks at Lina. She was standing next to the nurse. The nurse has a prescription on her hand. She gave her that and told me to buy those medicines. So, Lina took the paper and went away with the nurse. Suddenly Dae Ju remember about the strange guy. Now he could understand what he was saying the previous night. "Hey! Jheong Woo! Give me your phone." said Dae Ju.

"Why?" asked Jheong Woo curiously. "Just give me!" said Dae Ju. Jheong Woo gave him his phone and Dae Ju almost snatched the phone and search for the latest news. There was a headline related to him. He open the news and shocked. The news was about his body condition. Someone tried to kill him in hospital. The CCTV was broken in that room so nobody saw the criminal's face. Seeing the news Jheong Woo also got shocked and he looks at Dae Ju's face.

"I knew it! He would do that! Why he is after my life? Hey! Did you find anything about who the hell is he?" asked Dae Ju by swapping his mood.

"Who?" asked Jheong Woo being clueless.

"Didn't I already gave you that a***es picture?" saying this he opened the gallery of Jheong Woo.

"No! I remember. You don't need to open my gallery." said Jheong Woo and tried to take his phone back.

"Why? What's wrong? Don't tell me that you have those kinds of videos in your gallery!" asked Dae Ju mockingly.

"No! How could you say such things? Aish! You!" said Jheong Woo loudly and strongly.

"Okay okay, I got it! I was just joking," said Dae Ju and laughed.

"I couldn't find anything about him. Let's take the help of the detectives. They might help us to find something." said Jheong Woo with a serious face.

"What did you just say? I have to take help from those detectives who put a huge amount of charge on me! Did you have a brain! Ah! I think that space is blank in your head!" said Dae Ju being disgusted.

"It's you who have no brain! They will help us now! As you have been tried to be killed and that time you, I mean my dear buddy was with them, they will not suspect on you anymore! That's why you just have to pay for driving after drinking. Though it's a huge crime, you don't need to be worried because the mark of the killer has been removed over you." said Jheong Woo wisely.

"Ah! You are really genius! Let's go!" said Dae Ju and wants to get up from the bed and almost take out the needle of saline from his hand but that time Lina entered the room with a big pot. "Where are you going?" asked Lina with an angry face.
