Seoul U Hospital - 11th of June 2004
" That's it , keep pushing . a little more push Cheon-sa. " Said the Doctor who was helping Cheon-sa recover his strength.
" Whew..... please tell me there is no more Exercises today . I can barely breath Doctor-nim" replayed Cheon-sa as he was panting hard while leaning on the walking rafts that are helping him use his leg to his doctor. " For how long will i need to work this hard to be able to walk normally ? "
" hmmm... with your level of progress you just need a couple of more months Cheon-sa. so just keep doing your best and soon enough you will be running all over the place ". Said The Doctor as he was Taking notes on Cheon-sa Progress ' but really . he have an insane recovery . i guess kids really be healing fast. i guess him working so hard also play a big factor. But even so what really Astonished me the most is how mature he sound. I can't help but feel sorry for him , it's like his emotions are disconnected from reality . i don't know if it is his coping mechanism or he is in denial but either way it just break my heart... sigh'
" Doctor-Nim did Aunt Anna call you and said when she will be arriving?" asked Cheon-sa as of yet he still didn't have a phone yet, and his Aunt said she will get him one ready with A Sim card in a couple of days.
" yea she called , she is in her way right now , so she will need about an hour. so let's Push our self a little more for the last time after 10 minute break okay" *ring ring* says The doctor as he is moving away to answer the phone call he received.

' Good my stat's are getter better , and i am almost recovered Physically . but i guess Mentally i am still struggling to move. so even if i regain my strength , the Mental aspect of it will make me weak, until i get used to it.' Though Cheon-sa as he kept staring at the Ceiling ' At least the Harder Part is almost done, i just need to get used to walking on my own, like my Previous body and i will finally be healthy enough'
'I miss Aunt Anna , i wont lie i really love spending time with my new family. talking and looking at Aunt as she cooked or rambled about Finance's and how she will control the money flow in their new Company . Even though i bet that she though i didn't understand . but i didn't care as long as we were spending time together. Or Talking about music with my Uncle about which is our favorite instrument . These peaceful moments filled me with Love to my new family.'

( Aunt Anny POV )
While Walking Through the Corridor of U Hospital , Anny Thought's were on the meeting she just had with Her Nephew Therapist . Even though it is supposed to be kept between the Therapist and her Nephew. she was called to just take a pay attention to a couple of things.
" Cheon-sa is body Healing just fine from what i heard from his Doctor, But i can't say the same for his mental health though, Sigh... He is in Denial or his body is on Auto Pilot , he is suppressing his emotions so much, " said the Therapist to Anna which made her pale.
" Is... Is he gonna be fine, please tell me he will be fine? " Asked Anna as she started to Panic and get Scared , the more She listened.
"For now i guess yes, but in the Long run no, he is soo in Denial that he created Fake memories of his late Parent that are not true, He believes that he had happy Childhood, i don't know if it is thee after effect of the accident, or he always though like that, but either way with Cheon-sa.... i don't know how to say this to you but He does not know what love is."
Hearing the Doctor Talk, Anna Eyes started to tear as she know how bad the situation with his parent was. And how Toxic that Household was, Even though she blamed her brother to a high degree for not getting his things together for his son Sake , and when he did, That Tragedy happened to them.
" He Think That his mother loved him and he has a caring father, i would also believed that if you didn't tell me about the situation before hand. But either way try to Be a mother figure for him and always be there for him to be his pillar, because he need Positive emotions and Relationships when that Dam get broken, But if it somehow by a miracle keep Holding and he never have nightmares or start to doubt his memories, then leave it as it is and let him be ignorant of such events. And finally i Don't know if it is self esteem issues or some weird effect from his coma, But when ever there is a large crowd or there are many people looking at him he freeze and start to panic, it is not to the extreme where he will have panic attack so you should not worry so much about it, but for now i believe he should be Home schooled , because of the many issues he have, and we don't know how the Teacher and the Student will treat him , so he will need a Safe net or Loving home for him to back as a safety net for his mentality, so i recommend that he study for a couple of years in home. " Continued the Doctor telling her Analysis of Cheon-sa to his aunt. as Anna sobbing got more intense .
*sob*
" My baby..... Just Why did That Stupid brother of mine Continued his relationship with her.....*sob* .... he wasn't even there when she was so Out of her mind.... all he cared was work and work....and he left my Cheon-sa to that devil" Mumbled Anna as she was sad and mad at her late brother and his wife.
"please... doctor tell me how could i be of a help to Cheon-sa" Said Anna with determined Eyes as she removed her tears from her face.
" I won't lie to you Anna, Cheon-sa is just a Big Pile of mess a the moment, From the Issues with his parent to the Accident, to his Mature Cover as a Protecting Mechanism , or His little Panic attacks when he is in Crowd. But for now just be there For him and love him, try to be high light and a good Parental figure to him. Don't try to restrict him so much but also don't let him free either . and i will continue to see his progress with you." Answer the Doctor and took a sip of her Water Bottle before Continuing.
" I know Cheon-sa will get over this because he is Strong kid, so you also need to be Strong in this , if he does not ask about his parent , don't even mention them for the moment, and if he did ,just don't say more than necessary. and try to talk about their good points. Both of you can get over this , all what is needed is a lot of Love and Hard work toward that."
" umm... i will try my best to be there for him.. thank you for the help doctor... thank you" replied Anna with a shaky voice . as she left the Doctor and went to the Hospital Gym to Get Cheon-sa from his rehabilitation Doctor.
After a couple of minutes Anna arrived at the Gym. She stared at the door for a a couple of Seconds, and took a deep breath to calm her self. and put a smile on her face and entered the gym, She looked around for a couple of seconds and found hew nephew on his wheelchair talking to his rehabilitation Doctor with a small on his face.
"My Cheon-sa, How are you my baby let your Aunt give you a hug" Says Anna as she walk fast and give Cheon-sa one long hug. as to give her self a boost for the fight for the future and also to show her nephew that she love him.
"Aunt Anna, i missed you so much. i am sorry that i always am causing you trouble. how was you appointment by the way" say's Cheon-sa while giving his aunt a small Apologetic smile.
" Aigo what Trouble.. always trouble your Aunt, i love being troubled by my lovely Cheon-sa, and i was meeting a friend of mine for a quick chat, never mind it , and I missed you Sweetie, i am soo much blessed that my Lovely Cheon-sa is missing me.... Ooooh i guess now i have to be more troubled to spend more time with you" Replied Anna in a teasing matter while a huge smile was on her face because Cheon-sa said he was missing her. and he started to open a little for her.
" Thank you Doctor for taking care of Cheon-sa, we don't want to trouble you anymore, so we will be on our way then, Cheon-sa say goodbye (Bye) ." says Anna as she started to move the wheelchair to out of the gym and to the Parking lot.
" By the way Sweetie, since you worked hard today , why i don't treat you to something tasty , how about we go to some local shop, that i know sell some very tasty tteokbokki, i know they are your favorite" Asked Anna.
"Mhm Yes... Spicy tteokbokki is my favorite , but what about uncle?" asked Cheon-sa ,while tilting his head to the left as he wondered.
" OMG you are soooo Cute Sweetie, and don't worry about Uncle Si-Hyuk, A while ago he went outside and ate something tasty without us so this is my revenge on him , How dare he eat Something tasty without us, The Audacity of That man .. Hmpf" Scowled Anna in exaggerating way.
"heheh.... Yes let get revenge and eat the Best Spicy tteokbokki ." giggled Cheon-sa , seeing the way his Aunt picking with his Uncle over food.
" Yes, let's go eat the best tteokbokki on the world"
