"I said, where the fuck am I" looking intensely at both the doctor and the nurse hoping to get some answers but was face with a stunned look and no response. He immediately thought this will end if he just go out of the hospital and get into a taxi and this nightmare will end.
With an attempt to go out of the hospital, he rose from the hospital bed pulling out the syringe in his arm and decided to walk outside his room that is when the nurse stopped him " where do you think you are going, you are not fit to be walking around" in the native language pointing towards the bed. Jae-Won didn't understand the language but with the nurse gesture he knew the nurse was telling him to go back to bed.
He then decided to run as fast as he could so that they couldn't stop him but before he could act on it he was pull back "what do you think you are trying to do" said by the doctor carrying him on his arm like a new born baby and placing him back on the bed.
With his anger shown and known to the doctor, they tried to convince him to stay in bed to recover but to no avail because of the language barrier. He could only stay calm so that he can plan his next move when he's been let off. He remained calm and lay down on the bed like a good little boy who was promised a candy if he keeps quiet. Jae-Won was watching their every move and waiting for the right time to sneak out but before he could sneak out at the appropriate time, he slept off.
Eight hours later, it was exactly ten o'clock pm when Jae Won heard a scream which was so loud that he jolted up from his dream, I guess. He then realized he fell asleep and thought he has lost his chance to sneak out. With disappointment shown on his face, Jae Won then got curious as to where the sound was coming from.
He got out of his bed and slightly open his door only to see doctors and nurses gathered around someone who seems to be crying and sitting on the floor. That is when an idea popped out his head "with this chaos, I could sneaked out without anyone realizing it and stopping me" he thought. Jae Won walked slowly with his footsteps not to be heard even by a single soul, he walked slowly pass the crowded doctors and nurses but couldn't overcome his curiosity he came back and turned around to see what's happening only to see a nurse who lost her balance upon hearing the death of her mother and could not stop her tears.
After satisfying his curiosity he continued what he was doing in the first place by wishing the nurse his sympathy with whatever she was going through since he couldn't understand a single word that was coming out of their mouth and the crying nurse. He managed to pass by the crowd and was praising himself for doing a better job in sneaking out but his face turned red like pepper after turning left on his side of the corridor, he then meets a doctor who looks so tired as if the has been carrying the world on his shoulder, his hand on hs face and later rummage it through his hair.
He raise his head only to see a patient in his gown looking as if he is about to rob the entire hospital. "Shouldn't you be sleeping by now, what are doing here roaming around. You are still in recovery, you better go to bed" said the doctor who wish it's end of the world so he can finally rest. "I don't want to be scolded by Doctor Charles" he said. He hold Jae Won's hand while dragging him to his bed and Jae Won trying to break free from the doctor's grip but to no avail he then resorted to shouting by screaming his lungs out. "Where am I? Why hasn't my parents visited yet, and why are all of you black and where the hell is my phone to call my parents, I want to go home".
He dragged Jae Won by his hand passing through the crowd whose attention is now on the doctor and the patient with their eyes fixed on the hot yet handsome and beautiful man who was speaking in tongues as what they could put it since they have no idea what he was rumbling about. He is placed back on his bed and now the room is surrounded with dark clouds even the doctor could see Jae Won is upset. "Don't worry, everything is gonna be alright. I know you can't understand us but we will all be there for you." He left.
It's been a week since his last attempted escape was unsuccessful. Now Jae Won planned meticulously by looking for all easy exit point to the main gate of the hospital. But what he didn't think of was how he has to change his gown to a normal clothes in order to escape from the hospital for him not to be recognized as a patient but rather a visitor to a patient.
Finally, it's evening and everything seems according to plan as Jae Won thought so. He pulled out the syringe from his arm, walk slowly towards the door, slightly opened the door as his life depended on it and truly it does to him. Jae Won pulled out his head, he turned left and then right to check if there's a living soul that could end his life. Fortunately there was no one, he passed through all the nurses who came across him thinking he is about to get caught but they all thought he was going for a walk to strengthening his bone and body and didn't find him suspicious CV, "thank God, finally" said by Jae Won when he finally got to the receptionist.
He was about to pass by them when one notice him "aren't you the patient who was brought in by Doctor Charles" said by one female nurse. " you are kind of famous around here" she continued"but how did you get here when….." but he kept staring at her because he couldn't understood her as we all know the reason. "But why is he staring at me with those sexy eyes" the nurse moaned. The nurse then asked a male nurse to escort him back to his room, immediately he hold his hands showing the way, Jae Won realized he had been busted and had to plan another way to escape from the male nurse.
"Oh" said Jae Won after he came up with an idea and then stepped hard on the foot of the male nurse who he made him lost control of him and Jae Won didn't want to miss this chance, he run as fast as he could thinking he could escape but unfortunately he was caught by another male nurse who is so strong Jae Won couldn't escape from his grip.
"I want to go home, please" said by Jae Won with watery eyes who seems like he could cry any moment. All the nurses were so confused about the language and couldn't understand anything . "Oh I know this language, it's Korean" said by one female nurse looking as if she has achieved a gold medal at a sports competition. "And how do you know Korean" replied by one colleague of hers. "I know it's Korean because I watch Korean dramas like, Vincenzo and many more and I understand few words" she also replied. "Then what did he meant by what he said" said by another colleague of hers pointing to Jae Won. She laughed so hard because she confidently understood what he said " he said he wants to go home" she replied smiling as if she has won an American Lottery.
Their faces says one thing we don't believe a word you just said and she saw their unbelievable faces. She continued "well if I was wrong, he wouldn't wanted to escape so this proves it all". Jae Won watching all this sense something is going on when he heard Korean in their conversation.
He approached the female nurse whom he heard the Korean from "did you understand what I said, do you understand Korean, please can you tell me where I am or where my parents are and how could I contact them" he paused to catch his breath when he realized they all looked seriously confused.
He lost all hope while tears started running down his cheek
"I JUST WANT TO GO HOME".
