26 Not remembering isnst bad either (1/2)
Nam Ji Won wakes up with no memories. She didn't remember her name. She doesn't even recognize her family. The doctor explains everything to her. She spends the day in confusion.
Later, when she is alone, a pale looking man visits her.
”Hey, friend.” He greets her with a warm smile. ”Do you remember me?”
”Do I know you?” She frowns. ”I don't remember anything though.”
”My mistake!” He looks embarrassed. ”You look like someone I know.”
”Oh!” She doesn't find it odd. ”That's okay, I guess.”
”Why are you upset?” He hands her a coffee can.
Nam Ji Won finds everyone a stranger around her. So, one more stranger is no big deal. She lets out a depressed sigh. ”It's just that I don't remember anything. I don't feel good.”
”I see.” He nods his head thoughtfully. ”Not remembering isn't bad either.”
She looks at him strangely. ”It's not?”
”Don't force yourself.” He plays with her hair. ”It's good because you can start your new life without any old regret or wish. You are a newborn who has a whole life ahead of her. You should look forward to making new memories and a bright future. You got a chance that only a few people get. You can restart your life with a clean slate.”
Nam Ji Won feels that his words make sense. She is depressed for no reason. If she doesn't remember, it isn't her fault. After five years of sleep, she has another chance at life. If her memories come back, that is good. If they didn't, there is nothing to be depressed about. Why should she let her forgotten memories ruin her present moments?
”You are right.” She gives him a big smile. ”Thank you, Mister.”
Choi Min Ho lets go of her hair. ”Live a full life and never leave room for any regret.”
”I will do that.” She nods her head enthusiastically. ”What's your name, Mister?”
”Goodbye, Nam Ji Won.”
Nam Ji Won watches his back and mumbles to herself, ”He is an interesting person.”
When Nam Ji Won fall asleep, she finds herself out of her body again. She curses Choi Min Ho and his seven ancestors. She doesn't delay and finds him reading a book in his room.
”Why am I like this?”
”Aish! Why are you like this? Did you die?”
”No.” She grits her teeth. She can't remember anything when she is awake. When she is asleep, she is out of her body. She has all of her memories when she is a ghost.
”Did you fall into a coma again?” He watches her with mild curiosity.
”I don't think so. My body is asleep.” She notices that her body has been breathing normally and doesn't need any machine. ”You should try to wake me up.”
”It might be a temporary thing.” He turns his eyes to his book again. ”If it happens for three more times or you can not wake up again, find me again.”
Nam Ji Won leaves the room in a dejected manner. Next morning, she wakes up with no memory. When she falls asleep, she is a wandering soul again. When it happens for the third time, she finds Choi Min Ho again.
”Congratulations, you have a strange ability.” Choi Minho claps.
”Are you kidding me?” She looks at him with disbelief. ”I don't want this ability. Why can't I remember anything when I am awake in my body?”
”Ah...that!” Choi Minho looks right and left. He looks up and down. ”I have no idea.”
What the hell!
He writes her name in the notebook. ”Since I am here and you will probably not leave me alone, I will try to help you out. First, we have to find out whether the cause of your memory loss is paranormal or psychological or physical.”
”Paranormal?” She sits on the bed.
