The doctor called the manager to meet him at the office. He said that he have things to discuss with him.
“Excuse me mr park and mr kim, if the patient wakes up please call me immediately. Or just press the button for assistance.”
Junsu and Yoochun nodded and their manager left.
###
Kim Jaejoong stretched out his arms.
“Wow! That was a good night’s sleep.”
He looks around, unfamiliar with his surrounding.
“Where am I? Where are the boys? I need to prepare breakfast!”
He wanted to jump out of bed but his head was hurting really bad. He couldn’t lift his head up even.
“Ouch! Ow! What happened to me?”
Jaejoong looked around the room again.
“Why am I here? What is this place? What is going on?”
He tried to recall what happened the previous night or the day before, or even the week before but no matter how hard he tried, he could not recall what happened to him and how he came to be in such a condition.
He tried to recall again but to no avail.
“Ahh!!” he screamed.
He tried yet again and managed to recall something the moment he saw the chair by his bed.
“Hey! Someone sat there last night. But who? Wasn’t she just here, or was it all a dream?”
Last he remembered, he was in their apartment. Someone called and all the rest of us rushed out somewhere. He can’t exactly recall where they were heading to. Wait a minute. Yoochun wasn’t home at that time.
He turned to look at the chair again, “She was sitting on that chair, watching over me, like an angel. She held my hand. But where is she now? Where is this girl? Was it all a dream?”
“What happened to me!?!” he exclaimed, causing people to rush into the room.

Yoochun was awaken by Jaejoong’s sudden scream. Seeing Junsu was still asleep by him, he rushed in to see Jaejoong.
“Hyung! You’re awake!” he exclaimed, pouncing on the bed as he spoke.
“Yah Yoochun ah! Why is your head bandaged? Why are there bruises all over you?”
“Omo! Hyung! What did you just say?”
“Yah! My head is hurting!
Junsu, upon hearing Yoochun’s excited squeals, rushed in to see the oldest hyung amongst them.
Yoochun, then ran to get the nurse outside.
“Ahh!! Hyung! You’re back!” Junsu exclaimed in glee, hugging Jaejoong.
“Let go of me! I can’t… can’t … breathe!”
“Mianhe yah, hyung. I was too excited.”
Jaejoong rolled his eyes.
And as if on cue, the doctor and his nurses came in, along with Yoochun.
#
“Can the 2 of you excuse us for awhile? Please wait while we give him a check-up.”
The boys obeyed and walked out of the door.
“So is he ok?” asked Yoochun.
“I think so. He looks fine to me. He’s still the old hyung though…“
Their conversation was interrupted when the doctor came out of the room.
“He’s fine now. But we’ll be giving him a thorough checkup later. Don’t shock him too much. He just recovered,” the doctor advised.
“But doc, why is it that he seems as though he doesn’t remember anything about what happened before? He doesn’t remember me having an accident. He doesn’t know why he was admitted to the hospital” Yoochun finally voiced his concern.
“He just recovered. It’s normal for him to be this way. I have discussed with your manager about this. Jaejoong have been hit on the head. In some cases, patients may experience post-traumatic amnesia. In jaejoong’s case, he only remembers the long term memories. I need to run more tests. If im correct, his short term memory is affected.”
“That means he doesn’t remember anything recent?” Junsu asked.
“Yes pabo.” Yoochun rolled his eyes. “Is there any way we could help him remember?”
“Maybe there is something that can help him remember. You just have to try and believe. Jaejoong may experience what we normally call retrograde amnesia. It is the inability to recall some memory or memories of the past, beyond ordinary forgetfulness.”
#
The two boys entered the room again.
Before they were able to voice out anything. Jaejoong voiced out.
“What happened to me? Why are we in a hospital?"
The two lads looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Yoochun, being the closer one to jaejoong, broke the silence.
“You mean you don’t remember hyung? You mean you really don’t know why we’re here?”
“Err… no.”
“Uh-oh… Someone call Yunho. ”
