143: Something is missing inside

Dae Ju opened his eyes. He was inside a hospital. There were too many machines around him. Some machines start making noise. Two nurses ran inside. They got so happy by seeing him. One of them went to call the doctor. The other was staying there. She started to check if there's any trouble or not.

"Can you hear me? If you can then make a sign with your fingers." the nurse said very gently. He makes a V with his finger and smiled.

"Woah! It's miracle! It's really a miracle!" she starts shouting. Dae Ju looked around. It was white everywhere. The bed, the couch, the wall, everything was white colored. His eyesight was blurry but it was becoming clear. Soon he can see that some other people start coming inside. A doctor just came and stood beside him.

"How are you feeling? Can you try to talk?" he asked. Dae Ju replied him,

"I can!" with a very lower voice.

"Okay, can you move your arm? Please try once!" the doctor was checking on him. Dae Ju was assisting him gladly.

"Can I sit down?" Dae Ju asked with his low voice.

"Can you try?" the doctor smiled and said gently. Dae Ju sat down. He was feeling tired by lying down.

"How many days I passed by lying on the bed?" he was sure that it's not the next day of his accident.

"You were lying down for seven months!" The doctor said.

"W-W-WHAT!" he shouted.

"No! How could this happen? Ah! I missed all the show! I missed the award show! Ah! How could I? I have to go! I have to hurry up!" he was hurried and trying to stand up.

"Dae Ju-sshi! Please stay sitting. You need some time to be healed." the doctor makes him sit down and said.

"Congratulation!" Nam Gil came inside and following him his other teammates were also coming inside.

"How can you do this? You almost left us!" Cha Woon asked and came to him. He hugged him and soon it became a group hug.

"I missed you, Hyung!" Tae Ri said and hugged him.

"Hyung! We missed you!" Jung Haeok said and came closer.

"I missed all of you too, guys!" Dae Ju became happy and let them hug him.

"But, was I really slept for seven months?" Dae Ju was surprised and asked.

"Yes! Don't even ask!" Min Jae said. He hugged him but left though everyone was still hugging him. He was standing in one corner.

"Min Jae-ah! Why you are still acting cold?" Dae Ju said.

"Please move aside! You can't make a crowd around him. He needs some time to adjust himself." The doctor said and told them to leave him alone.

"Hyung! A bouquet for you." Jong Goo gave a bouquet and said.

"You should've brought some snacks instead of it." Dae Ju laughed.

"You should accept what he brings for you! We didn't buy anything for you." Min Jae said coldly. Dae Ju nodded his head negatively but he was happy by seeing all of them.

"Hey! Did you guys finish our comeback? I missed it, right?" Dae Ju said worriedly.

"Yes, you missed it. But we recorded everything and you have to watch all of them." Nam Gil said. At that time his mom and Seo Jin entered inside.

"Son!" his mom ran to him as if she was 16 years old. She came to him and sat beside him. She gives him a soft touch but she couldn't hold her tears anymore. Seo Jin was standing behind her. She also got teary eyes but she stopped herself.

"I thought you will...." she stopped as she was crying.

"OMG! You can cry!" Dae Ju was making a joke but he holds her cheeks and wiped her tears. He kissed her forehead to console her.

"Dae Ju-sshi! You have to come with us! We have to do some tests." a nurse told him and pointed outside.

"You should go, Hyung!(Looking at Dae Ju) Can we come too?(looking at the nurses)" said Jung Haeok.

"Come." Seo Jin was ready to take him.

"No, everyone should stay here. He will be back within a few minutes." the nurse said. Dae Ju stood up. His leg was weak. He couldn't able to walk properly.

"Slowly." Seo Jin came to him and hold his arm to make him walk. They went outside. The nurse was walking front and the siblings were walking behind her.

"Hey! Dae Ju-ah! What have you been? How is she? How can you come back? I heard you fall in love." Seo Jin was too curious. She was poking him instead of holding him.

"What are you talking about?" Dae Ju was surprised and looked at her weirdly.

"What? You don't remember? You were living another body!" Seo Jin was whispering beside his ears but seems like she was shouting.

"Ah! You're loud!" Dae Ju was thinking but he couldn't get any clue. Seo Jin stopped and she felt sad. She knew about him but now when he refused to remember, she felt bad for him.

"You really don't remember anything? Nothing at all?" asked Seo Jin.

"What rubbish you are talking about! You really gone mad!" Dae Ju said and noticed that he could walk properly so he exceeded himself and followed the nurse.

He has to stay in the hospital until the full recovery. It takes more than a week. When he came back to his dorm, of course, his teammates give a big party for them though he couldn't have a big piece of the cake(they finished it in the blink of an eye). But he was happy. He went to practice again. He starts meeting with his fans, learning the new choreography, learning the new song, and doing so many shootings. But sometimes he felt like he was missing something. Something he didn't get aware of. The necklace was still on his neck though he doesn't know where it came from. But he likes it so he didn't put it off. But he didn't open it yet as he didn't get enough time for it. He felt empty inside. Though he has a lot of people around him, he still felt he needs someone or something more.

He was standing on the rooftop of their building. It was too high that the sky was clearly seen. The sky has so many clouds. He was looking at the sky. He was lost in it. While looking at the sky, he thought, he never came here to heal himself before. He felt like he always looked at the sky whenever he felt down but it wasn't true. He was getting distracted with his work. Suddenly he remembered about the letter which the PD gave to him before the accident. He couldn't think anything about it. He went down and ran to his room. He opened his drawer where he kept that. It was still there. Nobody touched it or removed it from there. He sighed and came outside. He came to their living room as he needs some water. It was their off day. So everyone was busy in doing their own thing. Min Jae and Tae Ri were watching TV together.

"What are you guys watching? Netflix?" he asked and sat down beside them.

"No, it's a drama. You should also watch it!" Tae Ri said as if he was watching a fairy tale.

"Aish! Why you guys need to watch drama when you are so good at it." he laughed.

"Hyung! Please! Let us watch it!" Min Jae makes an annoyed face and said.

"Okay," saying this he sat down beside Tae Ri. Tae Ri got something to lie down and so he lied on his thigh. Dae Ju put his hand on Tae Ri's hair and start waving them. Suddenly he felt like he also lied on someone's lap and that person waved his hair just like that.

"Ah! I have slept for too long! I feel like I am still in a dream!" he sighed.

"What? What is happening? Aren't they gonna stay together?" There was a scene when the MC have to say goodbye to the female lead.

Do you know, he is not the persona he is looking for! There's another soul in his body and he fixed his every problem! Now the soul has to leave this body because he fixed everything and the MC will have a happy ending. I am curious how it's gonna happen!

"Aish! WHY? Why the soul have to suffer? HE FIXED EVERYTHING! HE SHOULD BE THE MC!" Suddenly he shouted. After saying this he reminds he told something like this to someone before too. But where, when and to whom he couldn't understand.

"No! What are you saying? The heroine doesn't know who he was! How can she love him?" Tae Ri said calmly.

"Hey! Aren't you a fool! She doesn't love the MC! She loves the soul! Must she have to see the face of the soul owner? You guys always support what you can see! But why you can't support what you can't see?" Dae Ju pouts his lips again and said in his style.

"Hey! STOP IT ALREADY! If you have to quarrel with them you should go somewhere else!" Min Jae felt too annoyed and said loudly. Both of them stopped by getting his scold. Suddenly Dae Ju felt like he changed. He wasn't like that! His thoughts weren't like this! How could he think like this now? He felt empty again.

"Ah! You guys should watch yourself! I should go. It's too boring!" he pulled Tae Ri's head to get him up from his lap and stood up. He left from there silently.

The next day when he was having an interview about his accident, there were too many people, his teammates were there. His parents were there. Almost all the staff were there. The police was listening to him and they were busy in noting what was important for them. He was describing about the accident. The detective who was having his interview kept asking many questions and he was replying what he knows. The detective stared at him as he heard them before too. It was a similar description, similar, thoughts, similar feelings.

"Do I know you?" the detective asked.

"Should you know me? Hahaha! Maybe you watch me on TV! But, is there any reason you asked?" Dae Ju was curious.

"No! You were similar to someone whom I knew," he said.

"Ah! Did you catch the driver? It was his fault! He looked at me and then it happened! He should be careful while driving! He was driving an old car and you know, some parts weren't working! That's why he couldn't stop the car!" Dae Ju kept saying.

"He is not anymore." the detective said as if it was nothing.

"Ah! He died after the accident?" Dae Ju was feeling bad for him.

"No, he has been killed." The detective replied with his cold voice.

"What? So poor of him!" Dae Ju was feeling pity on him.

"Did you catch the murdered?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Hmm," he replied.

"Hey! You should answer my question! You are questioning me!" suddenly he remembered why he was there and said.

After the interview when everyone was packing things up, a staff ran to Dae Ju and said,

"A girl came to meet you. We are trying to send her away but she is insisting too much. She sat on the ground and she started to cry.

"Really? I should go and check!" Dae Ju rushed to the place. A girl was crying but when she saw her she stood up.

"Who are you?" Dae Ju asked.

"Can't you recognize me? It's me, Lina!" she replied. Her eyes were full of water. She couldn't even talk properly. She was in a poor condition. Her dress was torn here and there. Her hair was messy. Her lips were pale. There was a cut mark on her cheek. She was looking very poor at all.
