I stood up so fast, I immediately felt a sharp pain in my head.
"Hahaha I don't know if you think you have superpowers, but you've been asleep for the past 3 months now I don't think you should stand up just yet".
I managed to look at the old man who was talking to me and I must admit, he is pretty old that was probably the reason why he mistook me for someone else.
After settling this matter inside my head, I decided to take his advice and lie back down. Besides he is right, with the way I'm feeling, I might not be able to stand up for a while.
I tried calling out to him but my throat felt really numb. Maybe I got shot there, or maybe it's because I haven't been talking for a while.
It was as though the man knew what was going on in my head. He came close to me, raised my head, and put on a pillow to support me. Then he gave me a cup of water.
My throat accepted it with pure joy and I finished it all. When I was done, I tried talking again and this time I was able to say something.
"Thank you, Sir".
My eye opened wide like two tennis balls. 'Wait a minute, I've never told anyone thanks you before, and why does my voice sound tinier'.
I turned and looked at the old man who was already leaving, I tried calling out to him but my head was hurting again so I couldn't shout.
'Why am I being so paranoid about this, it's obviously because I've been asleep for way too long. It's alright, I'm alright'.
In the process of talking to myself, I slept off. I don't know how long I was gone but I was having a very weird dream.
"Hi, I'm Shin Suri".
"Uhhh how is that any of my business, where am I?"
I began looking around.
"You are dead miss".
I immediately turned and looked at her.
"Ya Shin....what's your name again? No whatever, I don't care but are you crazy?"
"I don't really understand why you are getting mad at me, it's not like I killed you".
Waaa this girl sure knows how to get on my nerves, how can she be saying something like this in such a cute tone.
"Listen, miss, I went into a comma when you died, but I have no intentions of going back to earth. As you can see, I already gifted you my body so you can live however you want with it. I must warn you though, this is a new body, you should probably use it better than you used your last one".
I was dumbfounded, what is this small girl talking about.
"Haaa says a girl who can't get up just because she was in coma for 3 months".
I started laughing thinking I had given her a great comeback.
"At least I didn't die".
My laughter hung in the air, as I turned and looked at her. It was like I was suffering from a seizure. Then I bent my head and put my hands around my waist, looked at her again, and said. "Miss Shin, do you even know who I...."
"Of course I know who you are, Li Meilin, 25 years old grew all her life in F city under the guidance of an underground organization called the Cellers. Was unfairly killed by her boyfriend and died the most embarrassing death an assassin could ever imag....".
"Yaaa that's okay, how do you know so much about me?"
"Before you died completely, my soul went into your body while yours went into mine so I got all of your memories".
"Hold on". I went closer and looked her in the eye.
"All my memories, like everything".
"Mmmm everything. There are things I wasn't able to d in my lifetime, but you were a pro in being absolutely shameless, especially with your body. Just how many men were they".
I couldn't believe my ears, is this girl seriously talking about my love life like it was cow poo.
"Hey hey hey that is invasion of privacy. You know that don't you".
"Not really since it's my body now that it's dead. Please don't use my body for such disgusting things".
"Haaa you must be mistaken.... it's my body now".
I said eyeing her from head to toe but she actually giggled.
"What, what's so funny?"
"That's what I wanted you to say since. I'm glad you've acknowledged the body as yours, now I can go be with my parents. You'll receive my memories before you wake up or at least most of it".
She turned and started leaving and then I saw a man and woman coming to get her. She went to embrace them but before they left, she turned and said.
"Miss Shin Suri, please be happy and live a normal life for the both of us".
As soon as that was over, I woke up and tried to sit up but my heart was literally hurting and my hand was shaking.
For some reason, I bent down and started crying. I was crying so badly it was as though a part of me had been ripped out of my body.
I know I wasn't crying because that person told me I was dead but, I didn't know why I felt so sad.
After a long time, I finally stopped, and then after collecting myself, I decided to go check on the mirror.
"She was right, I really am a different person, no way ha, hahaha".
"I see you can finally walk, how are you feeling Shin Suri".
"Mr. Oh, thank you once again, I really am indebted to you".
'Wait why am I thanking him again'. Just then I held my head tumbling in pain.
I saw Mr. Oh with Shin Suri under a fig tree.
"Shin Suri hey, I made you grilled spiced pork. Happy birthday".
Shin Suri looked at him with tears in her eye, he has been doing this for 4 years, when every other person said she was bad luck he always came from the neighboring village on her birthdays. There was a time he asked her to stay with him but she refused. Just like this memory came so did more come rushing in, and Li Meilin found out that even in this life, she had more foes than friends.
But the good part is, they all believe she is dead.
