I walked in with breaths to the ICU. At the front of the room was already Mino and Jini sitting blankly.
I stepped slowly, then stood before the two of them. Making Mino and Jini look up.
"Umm?" muttered Jini stood looking at me with wide eyes.
I smile. "We meet again, Park Jini."
Jini turned her head to look towards Mino who was also already standing. "How could Umji be here, then in the ICU room?"
"Didn't you hear it before the accident," Mino casually replied and smiled at me.
"Jini, it's a long story. I'll explain it to you. You can go home rest now. Must be tired of being here all day," said I then hugged Jini who looks still confused.
With the encouragement of Mino's words, then finally Jini went home. But he said he would come back tomorrow and asked for my explanation.
Finally there was me and Mino sitting in front of the ICU. First, I explained everything I knew about Kim Hana to Mino. Including my thoughts on why me and Kim Hana can exchange bodies until Kim Hana experienced memory loss after regaining consciousness.
"So she loves her husband?" tanya Mino wanted to clarify after hearing my story.
I think what he wrote in the script is also true, that Kim Hana also loves you after knowing you.
Mino smiled obliquely. "Are you entertaining me?"
"And I guess .. I'm the one who fell in love with Jun."
Mino was flabbergasted to hear my words. He even looked at me as if he could not believe it.
"Togetherness makes us comfortable and finally subconsciously opens the door of the heart. I think that's what Kim Hana feels, too" I continued.
"Has he and Hansung never regained consciousness?" tanya switched to ask the condition of both.
"Hansung never regained consciousness, while Kim Hana lost consciousness on the way. Before Kim Hana closed her eyes, she looked at me with a smile. The look he gave was like waking up to your body in the first coma."
"I heard him say Hansung's name before I woke up. I think he's remembered it again" I added, not surprised.
"Then what are you gonna do about Nami and Jun?" ask Mino about the story of Kim Hana's life I told you earlier.
I shook my head slowly. "I surrender completely to Jun. I'm done with them."
Mino. "But you're still in Kim Hana's body?"
My tears are falling. To be honest I'm tired of all this, but I don't know the way out. "I'm tired of everything. The reality of Hana's life is so agonizing for my inner self" I can't ignore the fact that Nami was involved with Kim Hana's mother's death, nor how Jun caused Hansung's accident.
Mino patted my shoulder. "Then what's your plan? I can try to make it back as before" he said.
I'm rattled. I have tears on my cheeks. "What?"
"You and Kim Hana have the same face and even body shape. Jini has also believed that you are Lee Umji."
My eyebrows raised still don't understand. "Then?"
Mino glanced at the door of the ICU room. "The woman lying next to Hansung is Kim Hana, not Lee Umji."
"What?"
"I even forbid Jini from contacting your family or telling other employees at the company that you had an accident. I waited for you to come first," Mino said, making my chest beat faster. What crazy idea is this?
"But how could that be?"
Mino's words made me feel dizzy. I felt my body tremble as if I refused to believe Mino's words.
"You can decide tomorrow. Now go home to the apartment, you must be tired" Mino suggested.
I'm shaking. "What if Kim Hana wakes up and her memory hasn't returned and insists that she is Lee Umji?"
"I don't even know what her blood type is" I added as I opened my palm, thinking of the possibility and Kim Hana would ask for a blood test or something.
"Then will you continue to live as Kim Hana?" tanya Mino looked at me.
"Whenever I wear Kim Hana's body, I can never be a mother" I said, remembering that Kim Hana's body could no longer be pregnant.
"What?" Mino seemed surprised by my statement.
"After the miscarriage, Kim Hana's uterus was in trouble and the doctor said that it was difficult that she might not even be able to get pregnant again" I said.
Mino seemed so shocked to hear this. His gaze implied sympathy as well as concern for Kim Hana's life.
"But wouldn't it be better to live and consciously live, than to lie like him?"
I was silent to Mino's words. A little allowed his words. But still as a woman it was hard for me to accept. Not to mention the consequences where Kim Yunsung, Jun, and Nami will continue to chase after me.
"Hana, I want you to go home thinking first. I'll be here and ask Jini to take turns looking after her."
Finally with all Mino's persuasion, I agreed to his proposal. I am now in a taxi contemplating the fate and memory of Kim Hana's twisted life.
But I told the taxi to stop as soon as I saw the pharmacy. I bought sleeping pills before I went back to my apartment. I think I'd have a hard time resting without sleeping pills.
My phone rang somehow. Starting from a call from Kim Yunsung, Jun or Nami. I closed my frustrated eyes and then put Jun's cell phone into a large bowl, then filled it with water.
I have upheld three sleeping pill pills. But my brain is still thinking, forcing everything to be solved. I even tried to sit in front of the sofa and turn on the television. I wish the drowsiness would come to me.
I'm tapping the television remote. Replacing chanel repeatedly, until my eyes stopped on a newscast.
"Jun, a businessman and the daughter-in-law of the owner of NH Group surrendered as the cause of the accident a man named Hansung," said the narration of the news anchor.
I flinched and started crying watching videos of Jun entering the police force in New York.
"Jun also reported on a murder case involving his brother-in-law, as well as the son of the owner of NH Group who was just a few days ago confirmed as CEO."
There was mixed feelings watching the news. Happy, because of the choice taken by Jun. Sad, considering that the man will be crouching behind bars. But isn't this the best?
A message came into my one-time phone. Who else if not from Mino who gave me the news.
"Hansung has regained consciousness, but Kim Hana has not," I muttered reading the contents of Mino's message.
I smiled happily knowing that Hansung finally came to his senses. The man tried to save my body.
I looked back at the bottle containing the sleeping pill. If my body goes back into a coma, due to an accident, what will happen if history repeats itself to Kim Hana's body.
"Am I crazy?" I said staring at the sleeping pill that was now in my palm. The number is now uncounted.
I took a deep breath, then put the sleeping pill in my mouth. I immediately straightened a whole glass of mineral water, so that it could swallow everything.
I lay on the bed. Look at the apartment ceiling. My eyes were getting heavier, my body was floating and my chest was slowing down as my breathing became regular and now everything was dark.
