9 one: Another blackout

Dae Ju's body was lying on the bed as always. It's been nearly four months but still there was no change in his body. Doctors left hope for him but they were just trying to keeping him alive. They were not suggesting any other treatment for him anymore. They thought he will never wake up and left the world without saying bye to anyone. His mom just left after visiting humans after dropping a lot of tears. She was wiping her tears very well before leaving. When she went outside of the room she met Seo Jin. She also came to visit him. They looked at each other but nobody talked with each other.

Seo Jin entered inside and looked at him for a few minutes. Then she went to him and sat down beside on her knees beside him.

"Hey! Was that really you? Can't believe you are an actor too! Why you become a singer? You should be an actor! I should appreciate your skill in acting!" she was saying like Dae Ju could listen to her very well.

"I know, it was you. What did you think? I can't recognize you? Ah! You are really an idiot! That's why I always call you an idiot! But, I was happy. I don't know how you have been. I hope you are doing well. I know you will be fine as you are my brother. I have faith in you. Now, admit it you were missing me. We didn't fight for a long time, right? I don't know when I can fight with you again but I really want to. Come back to your real form soon so that I can tease you." she stopped and laughed. Suddenly she noticed that his index finger moved for a second. She got surprised but she thought he will get up if she continued talking with him like this. So, she continued talking but there was no change.

"Okay, don't come. I don't need you. I am gonna get married anyway. I will leave you and never come back to you. Hm..ph!" she made a pouting face and said.

"But, wherever you are, please come to my wedding. I want to see you not in this bed. I want to see how you're doing. You seem fine! Do you know what happened?" she stopped and came closer to him. After that, she whispered something to his ear and laughed again.

The guards who were standing outside thought she was so sad that she had gone crazy. They felt pity for both of them. When she stood up, she felt something strange. She felt the air which just passed by her. She couldn't understand anything and moved her step forward. Suddenly strange sounds came from Dae Ju's body. Seo Jin turned back and saw his face turned blue. It was like someone choked his neck and he couldn't take a breath. The oxygen pipe was under his nose but he was out of breath. The machine was showing that his pressure level was reducing. Seo Jin couldn't understand anything.

"DOCTOR DOCTOR!" she screamed. His oxygen level was going down. She pressed the emergency alarm and some doctors and nurses rushed into the room.

His oxygen level went more down so doctors decided to give him an electric shock. They arranged everything. The nurses were busy to arranging the machine. A nurse came to Seo Jin and asked if she could stay outside.

"No! I am a doctor too. Let me see him. I will not get afraid. Don't worry." she replied. They unbuttoned his shirt and give him a shock. That didn't work so they leveled up and give him a shock once more. His oxygen level was still low.

"There is enough oxygen but he couldn't get it." a nurse checked and said to the doctor.

"He will die if it continues like this." the doctor said worriedly. Suddenly Seo Jin remembered something. She started to read something very slowly. Then she blew on his chest for three times.

"Give him another shock." Seo Jin said. She was very worried but didn't lose her hope.

"But, it can take his life!" the doctor said. Don't worry! Nothing will happen. If we leave him like this he will die anyway." she said. She was more worried than the doctor but she wasn't showing that. "Level it up and charge it 300." the doctor ordered to the nurse. The nurse did as the doctor said and charge the machine by 300. Then he gives another shock and this time it worked.

Seo Jin got relieved and sat down on the floor. She put her hand on her head and sighed. He just have a heart attack but it was not an ordinary attack. She felt very worried and upset.

"I don't know until when we can keep him alive like this. We are doing our best but he is not in good condition. But, don't lose hope. Miracle could happen." the doctor said to Seo Jin and left from there.

"I know, I know." she sighed again. She couldn't understand what she should do. If medical treatment is not enough then she should do something else. But should she? She knows the truth now and she was happy for him. She went outside.

"Rumi-sshi!" Lina called him but there was no response from him.

"What happened? Ah! What should I do now? How can I take him to the hospital in this condition? Why you kept doing this to me?" she cried out. She wants to take him to the hospital but there was no ambulance available. It was 2 am. and all the drivers went home with their vehicles. So, there was no car or taxi in that area too. She could go outside but she doesn't want to leave him alone on this night. She makes him lied down on the couch as she couldn't take him upstairs. She sat down on the couch beside him and took his head on her lap. She put her finger in front of his nose to check if he was breathing or not. She felt that he was breathing so she felt relieved but she was so worried and she was praying in her mind for him. But he was looking like he was having a sweet dream. She put her hand on his forehead and start to adore him like he was her four or five years old son.

Dae Ju opened his eyes after a long time of sleep. He found himself on the couch. He sat down immediately as he couldn't remember anything. He was searching for someone very precious for him. What did he do when he passed out? He tried to remember but he couldn't. He wanted to stand up but suddenly he saw Lina was coming to him.

"Oh! You woke up! Thank goodness you are alright!" she came to him and looked at him. Dae Ju also asked her,

"Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?" he grabs her hand and start to look at her hand if it was alright.

"I am alright!" she said and become surprised.

"Ah! I am relieved!" he pulled her near him and hugged her. Lina was surprised by his action. She couldn't understand and maybe she could never understand him. He just surprises her with no time. She stayed in his chest as he was holding her tightly.

"Ah! You are hurting me!" she said with a little voice.

"Stay like this. You are cold. It's feeling nice." he said.

"I am glad that nothing happened last night," he said again.

"I am glad that nothing happened to you. she said but he couldn't hear her.

"What time is it?" he wanted to know as he doesn't know.

"It's 8 am," she replied and pushed him away.

"Whaaaaa.....I am getting late!" he shouted. He leaves her and starts going upstairs.

"Where are you going? You should stay at home and take a rest!" she shouted but who listens to her? He went to the washroom and start brushing his teeth. He couldn't work yesterday but he should work some but he was getting late and he doesn't want to get late. He finished brushing within two minutes and pulled off his shirt. He wore a new shirt and pant.

He came downstairs after getting ready. It was 8.30 am so he was in a rush.

"Where's my shoe?" saying this he went to the door.

"What about your breakfast?" Lina asked.

"I will eat later." he took his shoes and wore them. Then he opened the door but suddenly he remembered that he forgot the watch which Mr. Park gave him.

"Aish! Why I forget things like this?" he stood up in front and looked at his feet. He tied the shoelace in a wrong way and noticing this he sighed. He took off the shoes and rushed to his room again. He took the watch and came back again.

"I am leaving!" he shouted and came outside.

"Take care!" she shouted from inside. She thought she will stay home today to look after him. But, her plan failed because of him and she decided to go to the salon.

"How clumsy he is! He said that I am clumsy but look at him! What was he doing!" she smiled. She felt relieved by seeing him cheerful. She also went to get ready though she was sleepy and tired.

When Dae Ju was wearing the watch he noticed that there was an unseen message from Mr. Park. He taps on the message and starts reading what was written inside it. Detective Park told him to capture a photo of the paint and show send him.

"Okay, I got a mission!" he get excited. He was in a good mood though he should be worried about himself. Suddenly he saw a guy was standing on the other side of the road and he looks familiar to him.

"Oh! Is it Jheong Woo?" he asked himself. He stopped walking and pulled his hand up to attract his eyesight. And he noticed him and shook his hand. He said him to stay there as he was going to cross the road. He came to Dae Ju and smiled.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Going to office. Didn't you go to work today?" Dae Ju starts walking again and asked.

"Yes, I forgot something in the home and I am going to home to take that," he replied and smiled at himself.

"Ah! Then go. I am getting late." Dae Ju said.

"Okay, can you meet me at night?" Jheong Woo asked.

"Ah! I can't promise. Why?" he couldn't understand why he wanted to meet him.

"Just because," he replied but he felt a little disappointed. He always stayed beside him but nowadays he felt like he is ignoring him. He doesn't know the reason but he felt hopeless. He thought of Dae Ju as his friend but seems like he doesn't want him as his friend.

"Okay, If you get time then call me," he said and start walking fast. He was beside him but now he crossed him and was walking in front of him.

"Are you angry?" Dae Ju caught him and asked.

"No!" little replied from him. But Dae Ju could understand that he was angry with him so he walked fast and went in front of him. He blocked his way so that he can't go forward.

"Let me go!" he said but didn't look at him.

"Ei! Look at me!" Dae Ju tried to touch him but he moved backward.

"Tell me what happened? What can I do for you?" Dae Ju was soft while asking this.

"You don't need to do anything. Just live your life in your own way," he replied and pushed him.

"No! I won't let you go until I get my answer," he said and stayed like a statue. You said you were late! Then go! I didn't say you to stay! You will blame me after that!" he nearly shouted.

"It's not my answer!" Dae Ju was not gonna leave him that easily.

"I told you nothing happened!" Jheong Woo said with a strong voice.

"Then why you are ignoring me?" he asked.

"I am ignoring you or you are?" he went away by saying that. Dae Ju stood there without understanding anything. Why he was angry with him and why he was pouting like that he couldn't understand anything.
