"Let's go inside." said the girl and went inside first. She turned on the light and the tiny dark house became lit. Dae Ju entered inside and looked at the house well. The house was not big but it was neat. The furniture was cheap but they were looking nice because of its arrangement. Dae Ju's leg started hurting badly. He fell on the ground as he couldn't stand up any longer.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" asked the girl.
"Help me! I couldn't stand up. My leg is hurting." said Dae Ju out of pain.
"Okay, I will help you. Take my hand and try to stand up slowly." said the girl with a low voice. Without thinking anything, he held her hand and tried to get up. "Slowly, slowly," said the girl. Dae Ju stands up somehow and starts walking with the girl. The girl took him to their bedroom and let him be seated on their bed. Dae Ju sits on the bed. It was not so soft like his own bed but it was comfortable. He took a look around. There was a small table in front of the window. A cabinet was standing near the big wall. No other furniture was there. There was an attached bathroom inside the room.
"Would you like to take shower?" asked the girl.
"No, but I need to wash my hands and face," said Dae Ju.
"Then, wait a minute." saying this the girl went inside the washroom and brought a big bowl full of water.
"Wash your hands first. Then your face." said the girl and kept that on a chair. He washed his hands and face without any other choice.
"I will take a shower so you better not go anywhere and take a rest until I come back." said the girl and went away. Dae Ju lied on the bed and thought about himself. He wants to run but he can't. Why does his life become like this? Who will trust him now? His life has been ruined. He was so fine, so happy with his life. Why is it messed up like this? Is it his destiny? But, why? Why did it happen to him? Is he really forgetting everything? Was he in a dream? Was he dreaming for that long time that he was a singer? If that is true, then why can't he remember anything? Why could he not recognize the girl? Then he thought about the girl. What is she? Is she really a human? How could a girl be so gentle, pretty, kind at the same time? And he is feeling curious about her now. Why did she tell them that if he couldn't remember anything that would be nice?
"Ah! I will really become crazy like this," he said to himself and pulled his own hair.
"What are you doing?" asked the girl surprisingly. She came out for some reason and saw him pull his own hair. "Ah, No! Just because my head was aching so I pulled my hair to reduce my pain. Nothing else," he said and smiled but he turned red out of embarrassment. The girl was wrapped with a towel and came from the washroom for some reason. He turned his face to another side to ignore her. The girl could understand and said, "I forgot something so I came outside. I am sorry."
"Ah! Really! Why is this happening to me? What did I do wrong in my past life? Ah! I am exhausted." said Dae Ju and lied on the bed. After some minutes, the girl came out after taking a shower and asked him, "Are you hungry?" Dae Ju opened his eyes and looked at her. She was just looking like a fallen angel. She was looking so charming with her wet hair. Though her skin was not pale she was amazing. She was wearing a dress with short sleeves. Her hands were also so beautiful but there were some marks on her hands. Maybe she got hurt by something. He was so fascinated that he could not move his eyesight from her.
"I am asking you! Are you hungry?" said the girl with her angelic voice. Her words made me feel like she was throwing flowers from her mouth. Getting no reply, the girl came to him and pushed him slowly. Dae Ju came back to his senses and asked, "Did you say anything?"
"I was asking you if you are hungry or not." said the girl gently.
"What? She didn't even get angry at me! If it was my sister here she would have scolded me and her face would turn red but look at her she is asking the same question for the third in a row with such a soft and gentle voice!" Dae Ju thought.
"No. Thank you," said Dae Ju gently. The girl was surprised again but she didn't tell him anything and left from there. He was all alone again. So he was thinking about his career. How is he able to sing now? Singing is not only his profession but also his passion. He could not think of anything without singing. How was he able to live like this when he couldn't sing and write songs? He gets energy when his fan cheers for him and calls him by his name. How could he be able to get his energy now? He is doomed. He rather wants to die instead of having such a life. He missed his mom, his six brothers like a friend, the director, and also everything. How could he gain everything back? He can't get any ideas. Thinking about these, he falls asleep again. When he opened his eyes, he saw the girl was sitting on the chair and it seemed like she was writing something. The room was dark but there was a small table lamp that was lighting around her. He was looking at her and suddenly he got afraid by thinking of something. If the girl comes to sleep beside him what will he do? He never slept in a room with a girl.
"No, this could not happen! I won't let this happen. I am not her husband, I am Kim Dae Ju. I have to tell her everything no matter what it takes but I can't sleep beside her, never!" thought he. The girl closed the book in which she was writing something and put it in a drawer. Then she turned off the table light and it was fully dark inside the room.
"No, No, please don't come here! Please!" requested Dae Ju in his mind. The girl came near the bed and moved the blanket.
"No, No! Don't do that!" prayed Dae Ju almost cryingly. The girl took another pillow inside the blanket and went away from there.
"Ah! I am relieved! Ah! I can sleep now peacefully!" he said in his mind.
"But as she is my wife! She should lie next to me! But why did she go to another room! Maybe we quarreled over the accident. But, she behaves nicely to me all day! So, it couldn't be the reason. Something is fishy. But, why am I so curious? It's good for me!" he thought again. He needed some fresh air so he got up from bed slowly and started walking slowly. He went to the root and sat on a bench. The sky was looking so beautiful from here. There were a lot of stars blinking in the sky.
"I wish I could fly! I will go to the stars and touch them!" sad Dae Ju. He lied on the big bench and looked at the sky.
"I wanna join you. Can I?" he asked while looking at the stars.
"Min Jae! Do you miss me? I miss you guys. I really miss you a lot." he said to himself. He was so fascinated that he looked at the sky without blinking his eyes.
"I want to sing. I...huh!" saying this he stopped and sighed. His head was really aching now and it seemed like he was seeing his late grandfather who was like a star. "Grandpa! What should I do now? You can see me from there. Aren't you?" asked Dae Ju to the stars. Suddenly he saw that the stars began to move.
"Oh! they are moving! But why they turn around and around?" saying this Dae Ju stood up and looked carefully. Are they really turning around? He couldn't think just look at them. After a few moments, he felt that he feel dizzy. His eyesight became blurry. and also the stars began to vanish. He falls on the ground and after that, he couldn't remember anything. When he woke up, it was past 12 pm. He was on the same bed where he was last night. Suddenly he remembered that he went to the rooftop last night but when he came back here, he couldn't remember. "Oh, You are up? Why you went to the rooftop last night?" asked the girl gently. "To get some fresh air," he said with a guilty voice.
"Don't go anywhere until you get fully recovered. Got it?" said the girl without any expression. Seems like she was not scolding him, she begged him. "Okay, but what happened last night?" he asked.
"I was almost sleeping but hearing some noise from the rooftop I went there and found you on the ground," she said like she was reading a book to children without any expression.
"Ah! Then it wasn't dreamed of! But, who took me here?" asked Dae Ju became curious.
"Me of course." said the girl.
"What? Really?" said Dae Ju, surprised then he looked at her. She doesn't look strong but she carries him to the rooftop to hear all alone!
"Go and wash. You are stinking." said the girl and left. He saw her smile at the hospital. After coming here, she didn't smile for once. Sounds like she is a puppet that has no expression on its face. Dae Ju stood up from bed and went to the washroom slowly. He looked in the mirror and saw another face about which he had no idea. He took a shower, brushed his teeth, cleaned up and became a tidy person. He was always like that. He likes to stay neat and clean. He was still thinking about his future. He has no idea what he did wrong and how he could fix these. He just took a long breath and looked at the mirror again. This face is also handsome but it can't be compared to his own face.
"But, I am curious why that lady told the staff like this? Is she really in pain? Isn't she happy with her life? Is she suffering a lot because of this face? I am curious about this face too. Who are you? And why do I have to take responsibility for your life? Is this really who I am or the real me is lying on the hospital bed? I need to find my answer as soon as possible. But, this damn leg wouldn't let me find my answers. I have to go outside. But what should I do? How could I find my answer? Should I go to Seo Jin's boss? Could he answer me? Could he tell me how to get my own body?" he thought while staring at the mirror. Dae Ju put on his clothes quickly and headed outside. His leg was hurting but his heart was hurting more because he needed an answer to his question. So he starts walking faster and now he can't feel his injury of the legs anymore out of curiosity. He went to the small alley which is the way to that strange guy's house. He walks as fast as he can and reaches his destination. He knocked at the door slowly but nobody answered from inside.
"Open the door! Please! I need something very urgent. Please help me!" Dae Ju shouted. But nobody answered this time either. Dae Ju knocked on the door continuously but nobody came to save him or help him. A woman was passing by there and she stopped by seeing him in this condition.
"Do you need something?" asked the woman.
"Yes, I was searching for the guy who lives here. He has a long beard on his face but he looks handsome," said Dae Ju.
"But, he is not here. He went abroad for a few days." said the woman.
"What! When will he return?" asked Dae Ju surprisingly.
"Not sure. Maybe three or four months." saying this the lady left from there. "What!" three or four months!" shocked Dae Ju and sat on the ground.
