I came around and regained consciousness not so long after Hechan carried me out from the intensive care ward I passed out. The doctor wrote off the small incident as just something caused by extreme exhaustion.
It wasn't surprising considering the day I had.
At least it was a blessing that no internal organs were injured and I didn't suffer from any internal bleeding either, which could have easily happened after receiving that painful whack on the side of my body - from the man who later got butchered by Hechan's father.
Once I was cleared and came back to my room though, I laid in my bed unable to sleep, with my mind full of thoughts that I could not control. I was restless despite feeling completely depleted, overwhelmed with a sense of confusion, dread, and guilt.
Of course, the main concern that occupied my mind was what I just experienced earlier when I went to see my body and the voice that intruded into my mind and scared the shit out of me.
