1. WHERE THE FUCK AM I?

"Throw the ball" said by one local Ghanaian teenager in a native language to his other colleague who looks like he is lost in his thought while looking at something by the beach. With him still not throwing the ball he angrily repeated what he said " would you fucking throw the ball to me" with his face as red as hot pepper.

With anger flustered on his face he walked towards the boy who seems to stare at a particular thing that has caught his attention looking as if hell has opened right in front of him summoning him to greet satan. With his all his might and anger he smacked his head "what the fuck are you looking at and why do you look like you are begging death to take you", haven't you been by this beach before", he retorted.

"I know this beach is beautiful" and he is not telling lies. Labadi Beach is one the most beautiful beaches in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. It's scenery at night washes all your stress away filling in with good vibes and hopeful thoughts, and it clear skies makes you to wonder how beautiful God's creations are. On holidays and weekends there are often performances of reggae, hip life, playback and cultural drumming and dancing.

With his shocked face and stammered voice " is….is….th…that.. a dead body in the.." he then shouts on top of his voice screaming all his lungs out just because he saw a body by the beach. With that much attention everyone looks at him wondering why he is shouting with that scrawny body of his and a horn voice as such as if he has been starved from birth.

With him unable to speak, he pointed towards the direction of his assumed dead body. Immediately, both tourists and the local people around saw what he was pointing at, they rushed towards Jae-Won, taking his drown body out by the beach. "He is a white guy" said by one older local woman amongst the crowd as if the rest of the crowd don't have eyes to see.

One man with his smooth black skin and high bridge nose came out of the crowd "I'm a doctor, let me take a look". The crowd paved way for the doctor to do his wonders on the body, thinking the white guys of theirs is dead. "Here goes to my off day again" with that thought in his mind, he shouted at the local people among the crowd to call 112 for emergency ambulance, he laid Jae-Won on his back and open his airway. He then place one ear to his mouth to listen to any breaths for a few seconds " he is an Asian, I can't believe the woman said a white guy" my people never disappoint, they always classified a fair colored skin as white he laughed out without realizing while he thought of this. The place became quiet all of a sudden only for the doctor to turned around and realized the number of eyes that were piercing his skin because he laughed out over a drown body or a dead body as they thought.

He cleared his throat and continued what he was doing. He went ahead to start CPR after Jae-Won showed no signs of breathing, he place one of his hand on top of the other and clasp them together. With the heel of the hands and straight elbow, he pushed hard and fast in the center of the chest, slightly below the nipples and stared a chest compressions after a while he gave Jae-Won two rescue breathes and continue compressing again till an ambulance arrived.

With the help of the doctor, he help place Jae-Won in the ambulance and he suggested the ambulance to a nearby hospital which was Korle Bu Hospital and assured them "that's where I work" said by the doctor with a grin of proudness in his face. Jae-Won opened his eyes and with blurry vision he looked around and closed them again.

It has been seven days that is a week since Jae-Won had been admitted at the hospital and hasn't shown any signs of waking up though the doctor declared him being out of the woods. And when they thought something might be wrong, Jae-Won slowly opened his eyes, he felt like a huge building is stepping on his eyelids. It was so heavy, he could barely open them. The first thing he heard and saw was a beeping sound and a white ceiling. He smelled a strong disinfectant which could only be at a hospital, he finally opened his eyes widely, looked around and what he saw blown him out of his mind. "Where the hell am I, and why am I seeing black people around" thought by Jae-Won who looked surprised with his eyes open wide as if he need a glasses to verify what he was seeing because he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He realized that he was in small cubicle with all kind of hospital equipment around the place which he has no idea of some names. He looked down the floor and then back to his legs, he then looked at the left side of his arm when he felt some sharp pain. Only then did he understood he is taking a drip into his left arm, looking at it attentively as if it help subside the pain. He then tried to process how he ended up here but does not remember anything and what he seems to remember too are blurry.

While he kept staring at a blank space only for him to sight a black doctor again wearing what he thought was a white robe worn by doctors and then he snapped back to reality. "Why is there a black doctor in the hospital all his family attend", he thought. He has never seen a black person in the family hospital since he was a child till now and he knows there has never seen a black person in the hospital and also a doctor. "So why are so many black doctors and not a single Korean doctor in the hospital" he wondered.

With him wondering what was going on and why all of a sudden there are all black doctors and nurses and even patients in a Korean hospital. And what's with the language they were speaking, "what language is that" he said to himself. While he was wondering a nurse approached him with smiles all over her face looking directly at Jae-Won "You are finally awake" said by the nurse in the native language.

The nurse hurriedly called the doctor to inform him about his patient waking up and in not less than a minute, the doctor rushed there as if he was flash . He check up all his vitals and and everything there is for a doctor to verify.

Meanwhile Jae-Won was still in confusion and trying to come up with words to say and is as if he was a new born baby with no idea how words are formed or even speak as a matter of fact . With all his might and a lot of remembering and still confusion on his face "wh..where a..am..I" said by Jae-Won looking at the nurse and doctor who couldn't respond to him since they had no idea of what he was saying.

Jae-Won lost control of his last shrink of patience which he had depending on how terrified he was because he woke up in the middle of a hospital that he knows for sure but how they were all blacks dressed in doctors and nurses uniform which he has not seen before. Even though he knows of black people and has seen several in Korea but was not close with any one since he hasn't had the chance to meet some face to face and with that last patience he had control over he now losses it and shouted on top of his voice

""WHERE THE FUCK AM I".
