Dae Ju searched for the bottle everywhere but couldn't found it. It is the only way to protect himself. He could never imagine that he has to experience such a terrible thing. He actually didn't believe in the afterlife. But now he has no other choice but to believe.
"Did you took a bottle from my pocket last night?" asked Dae Ju to Lina.
"No," replied Lina after thinking for a moment.
"Then where it could be!" saying this he rushed outside and start searching on the road but couldn't found it.
"You should take a rest today! You are not fully recovered yet!" shouted Lina. But he didn't listen to her and went outside.
"I fainted here. I remember. It was exactly this place. But there's nothing here! Then, where did it go? Aish! That f**ng soul!" said Dae Ju to himself. Finding nothing outside, he came home again. As he felt thirsty he went to the fridge for drinking some cold water. When he opened the fridge and got surprised. The bottle was kept in the fridge. Dae Ju was confused about how it came here because Lina refused that she find the bottle in his pocket. But to clear his confusion, he called Lina. "Lina-sshi!" Lina was working in the kitchen but hearing her name she replied, "what?"
"Come here," said Dae Ju loudly. Lina came to him and asked what was the matter.
"How did it come here?" pointing at the small bottle, Dae Ju asked her.
"Ah! This! It was in your hand when I found you on the street. Seems like you wanted to drink it so I kept that carefully." said Lina gently.
"You should have told this earlier! I was too worried!" shouted Dae Ju.
"I didn't think this was that precious to you!" replied Lina.
"I asked you before!" said Dae Ju.
"You asked me if I found something in your pocket! But it was not in your pocket, it was in your hand!" said Lina simply. Dae Ju felt angry at her but he control himself and calmed down.
"Okay, go now!" saying this he took the bottle and went upstairs. He forgot to drink water. He tried to remember about last night.
"It was really strange! He look at the bottle and thought, if it was in my hand, then I tried to save myself! But I couldn't. That means I was in my sense but my body didn't support me. And that thing attack me when I was alone! All the strange things vanished when Lina came! But why? It wants to kill her too! Then why it didn't scare her? Ah! I can't able to think more!" said Dae Ju to himself. He went to take bath. He opened the bottle and pour some drop of water on it's lid. Then he carefully pour three drops of water into the tub. He kept the bottle on the desk beside his bed and went to the washroom again.
[In the hospital]
"Dae Ju! How more you will make me wait? It's your birthday today! Look! I have made your favorite dish today. Won't you gonna eat? I have planned many things for this day to make you happy but you ruined it. Please wake up now. We need you. Seo Jin wants to postpone her marriage but I forbid her. She also deserves a happy life. No one's life stop for one. That's why I am telling you to come back to us. I know you are strong and you can make it. You have to! My life will go on without you but I will be bored. Who will come to annoy me if both of you(Dae Ju and Seo Jin) stay away from me? Your sister will be gone within two months. But she will have a happy life. I will be happy to see her happy. But, until when I have to wait for seeing you happy? Wake up! Or else I will never talk with you again!" said his mom with a broken voice and at the last, she couldn't hold her tears and start crying.
"I thought you are strong," said Min Jae and entered the room. Seeing him coming she wiped her wet cheek quickly and acted normal.
"It's okay to cry. As a mom, you should cry. Don't make your eyes too much dry. Let them fall." said Min Jae again.
"It's his birthday. I wanted to spend some time with him alone. But look how he is sleeping peacefully! He never cares for us. He always thinks about himself. How selfish son I have!" said his mom slowly. "Yes, you are right. He is selfish. That's why he went to you whenever he got some time. He is selfish that's why he accepts us as his family. Yes, he is selfish that's why he doesn't have any friends except us. He always cares for himself that's why he calls you in his free time. He is....." saying this Min Jae stopped. He couldn't say more. Hearing the cold praise about her son, she couldn't control herself anymore. She start crying again and this time Min Jae was there to console her. But both of their minds were the same. Both of them were sad because of him. That time everyone else on the team came. All of them stand around him. It was looking like snow white is poisoned and the six dwarfs were standing around her.
"Mother! Can you go outside for a while please!" said a staff to his mom.
"Okay." saying this she went outside while wiping her tears.
"Hyung! Why you didn't tell us about it? We are not let go. I already asked PD to give you more time. He send a request letter to the government. So, don't worry and get well soon." Nam Gil disappointedly.
"You are doing wrong. You have to wake up. I can't see you like this anymore!" said Tae Ri.
"We all have gifts for you. You like gifts, right? Then why don't you wake up and see your gifts by yourself?" said Jung Haeok.
"Okay! Now I am turning on the camera." said the camera director and turn on the camera. They have to stream live on their every birthday and have to talk with their fans but this year Dae Ju couldn't able to talk with his fans due to his accident. So, all the other members have to talk and say sorry to their fans this year instead of him.
"This is the situation in Soul central hospital. They all are praying and hoping that he will get well soon. But a group of their fan make a crowd in front of the hospital to see him for once. And another group of fans surrounded the police station. They want the culprit who make their idol like this. The situation cannot be controlled by the police. But they are condoling them that they will investigate it properly and catch the culprit no matter what. Here's a clip in front of the police station.
"We need justice! Kim Dae Ju need justice!" people were screaming like this. That time a detective came in front of them all and they started to shout at him.
"We are trying our hard! Do you think we came here to sleep? We have a lot of work! So, please leave now! Don't make us take an action against you!" said a detective with a mic very rudely.
"Don't people have any other work instead of it? Why they can't understand it was an accident? Anyone can be a victim of an accident! And we are investigating that incident. And we are waiting for the taxi driver's mental recovery. He lost his memory so he can't tell us what actually happened. But we have an eye on him and if we see something suspicious, we will catch him. But the truck driver is still missing and we are working hard to catch him." said another detective to a reporter.
"Ah! I don't know what will happen next!" said Lina and turn off the TV. She was drinking coffee and when her coffee finished, she turns off the TV. She has to go to work now. So she went inside to get dressed properly. After she met Yeon Hoon, she felt less interested in wearing her scarf. Because he praised her hair a lot and told her to let them be opened.
"But, I should have worn it!" saying this she started to pin up her scarf. But today she put a little makeup on her face. She is feeling confusing these days. She thought that her husband could never be a good person and she has to live a miserable life like this since she chose this for her own and it takes everything from her. But nowadays she thinks, what if she never met him(Rumi)! What if he never came into her life! Things could be changed in her life and her parents would have alive yet. And she could find someone like Yeon Hoon and could live a happy life! But she can't change her past. So she has to live like this until the day of her die.
"I don't deserve the happiness anyway!" saying this she went in front of the mirror again and wiped up all the makeup. When she was about to leave she met Dae Ju in front of the door so she stopped.
"I make some porridge for you. But I have to go now," said Lina to Dae Ju. "Hahaha! Why are you looking like this? Seems like someone punch you on your eyes." said Dae Ju when he noticed Lina's face. She was actually looking funny so Dae Ju could not hold his laugh.
"Really? So, didn't I wipe it perfectly?" saying this with a very low voice, she took her phone to check if he was right. Seeing herself, she said to herself again, "Why you put makeup and remove them?"
"Ah! That's why you are looking like this! I know, that happen when you don't remove your makeup well. Sometimes you could look like a ghost." said Dae Ju smilingly.
"You know? " surprised Lina while rubbing her eyes to remove makeup. Dae Ju felt awkward for a moment because he realize now that he shouldn't say such things.
"But, why you remove your makeup? I don't think you won't look good wearing makeup. I mean, you are beautiful naturally but you will look more beautiful if you wear makeup." said Dae Ju hesitatingly.
"I know I am beautiful but I don't think I need to show off this face in front of others," said Lina straightforwardly and about to leave. Dae Ju became surprised by hearing her because he never saw her say anything like that. He didn't found anything to say so he stayed silent and look at her.
"Ah, right! Don't forget to eat before leaving. And also come back home if you don't feel okay." saying this simply like a busy mom, she went away.
"Aish! My slippy mouth! Why you have to say that much!" saying this he slaps on his own mouth. And as Lina said earlier, he forgot to eat and went to work. He also forgot to keep the water bottle in place. But he didn't forget that today is his birthday. He would have been very busy today if he was in his original body. He has to spend time with his teammates. He has to talk with his fans for at least half an hour in live streaming. This year he promised his mom that he will spend time with her. But he is not busy today at all. There are so many wishes, so many gifts for him but those couldn't reach to him this year. Ah! What am I doing here? They all are waiting for me! He suddenly remembered about his fans and took his phone if they are still supporting him or not. There's a lot of birthday wish and get well wish for him on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and in many other social media.
"Thank goodness! They still love me so much!" said Dae Ju and sighed.
"I have to go back before it's too late," said Dae Ju to himself and start walking to his workplace.
