It's been 2 hours. Yes, it's been 2 hours. I spent my time in this room restoring my memories of my family. During that time, not a single memory had stopped in my head. I'm frustrated, I feel like giving up. I was about to lay down but suddenly I heard the sound of someone's footsteps towards the restroom.
The door opened, it was Roven. My best friend came with 2 cans of cola. He gave me a can of cola which he brought and then asked,"Any progress?" I weakly answered the question.
"No, it’s so hard. I feel like I want to give up, but I can't."
Roven, who has known me for a long time, seems to cheer me up.
"Everything needs processing, Dean, you won't be able to get your memories back all of a sudden,"
I lay down on the mat, "Yes, I know, but I have to find my family as soon as possible."
I saw Roven's face looked very curious, he finally opens his mouth and asked me,
"I'm sorry Dean, but I'm very curious about this, why are you so eager to find your family lately? Didn't you previously care so much about them?"
After hearing Roven's question, I’m immediately changed my position from lying down to sitting. Roven's face looked scared. I think he was afraid that I would be offended by his question. For Roven, I was the only person Roven knows whose thoughts and my actions are very difficult for Roven to guess.
I want to laugh at the expression on his face right now, but what can I do? I can't even lift my lips."I don't know either, actually I'm not interested in finding out about my family, but that girl ..."
I paused for a moment when answering his question, there would always be a strange feeling every time I talked about that girl."If you know Roven, that girl has been appearing in my dreams for the past week, I want to know who she is, and maybe also if she knows anything about me and my family."
Roven nodded his head as if he began to understand why I insisted on returning my memory.
"Ahh, I see, keep up the spirit Dean. I'm sure you can do it. If you need my help, just call me."
"Thank you so much Roven, I'm very happy to know you as my friend," Roven patted my shoulder with a smile and said,
"I will go back to work, hurry home, isn't your shift for today has ended?"
"Yes, I'll come home after this, I'll lie down for a while, it feels like my body is all crushed"
"Okay, all right, take care of your health Dean, I'll go first"
Roven took his white coat and left me alone.I lay down again and closed my eyes. "What else should I do to restore my memory? Who are you? I feel like I'm going to be crazy if I think about this constantly. My work will be neglected too. Many clients are constantly pushing me. Arrgghh!"
I sat down and ruffled my hair in frustration. Suddenly my phone rang, immediately I took out the phone from my pocket. I can see the name "Mr.R" on my cellphone screen. I immediately answered the call.
"Yes, I'm here sir,"
Oh my God, this person was scolding me again with various harsh words because I was late doing my task. Of course, my face looked flat, I'm used to being cursed like that.
He continued to speak at length until he said something that shocked me.
"Okay, I'll come!"
Our conversation was over, I immediately put the cellphone in my pocket, then I rushed out to leave the hospital. I was just about to start my car engine when a detective and a few people from the police came to me.
"Excuse me, I'm a detective from the Gangnam Police. We are looking for a doctor named Dean Alverma. Do you know him?"
I'm surprised, why is she looking for me? I'm in a hurry, I want to ignore her but the look in her eyes stopped me. Her eyes were very sharp towards me as if she was ready to eat me. I catch my breath, I have to calm down.
"Yes, that’s me. Is there any need to look for me?" After I answered her question, she handed me a piece of paper.
"This is a summons letter from the police, can you come with us to the police station?"
"What's going on? I can't go now. I have an appointment with someone else. I have to go now!"
I don't care, all I think is to meet Mr. R as soon as possible. I immediately got back into my car and closed my car door, but at that moment a hand gripped mine tightly, keeping me from going.
She asked me "Are you sure you won't come with me?"“Pretty sure!”
Suddenly my right hand was already handcuffed by him."You have to come with us to take responsibility for all your actions!"
"I don't know what you mean. Open these handcuffs or I'll .."
"What?! What are you going to do? I'm not afraid at all."
My emotions began to peak, she cut off my conversation before I finished it. I couldn't take it anymore. I took a gun out of my left pocket and shot her.
Evil? Whatever. She was even more evil because she kept me from getting information about my family.
The woman fell, as quickly as possible I started my car engine and drove away. My car was under fire from other police officers.
At that moment, I heard one of her coworkers scream "Dee!"
I'm stunned. The name was familiar to my ears. I subconsciously slowed my driving speed. My head suddenly hurts, the incident and the woman's face appear all of a sudden. I had time to turn to her. The hat she was wearing fell, so I could see her face.My eyes widened. Her face is the same as the woman in my dreams. My gaze was blank, I was silent.
"Duar!"
One-shot that hit the right side of the car made me wake up and immediately control my car again. My car had a lot of gunfire, but luckily my escape was successful. I must immediately see Mr.R.
It didn't take a long time. I arrived at the place mentioned by Mr. R on the phone.
"Mr. R, where are you?!" I shouted while looking around me to find him. I can't wait to meet him. There are many things I have to asked him.
My phone rang, the name Mr. R, are displayed on the screen.
"Where are you? I've arrived. Hurry and meet me!"A deep voice sounded closer to me.
"You are already here,"His greeting made me emotional. He seemed to be insulting me. I immediately grabbed the collar of Mr. R, and my emotions peaked.
"Tell me everything you know about my family! How can you find out about it but never tell me? You don't know how tormented I was with all of that?!"
Mr. R forced my hand off his collar and pushed me and said,
"Don't you stupid? You even killed your sister! Hahaha! You've been stupid for a long time, Dean!"
"What do you mean?!"
I was surprised, could it be that woman... My steps slowly backward, my tears suddenly came out.
"Ah apparently you haven't realized, you think who the woman who just met you at the hospital earlier? All you want is to meet your family, right? I'll help you meet them."
Duarrrrr!
One-shot hit my head. I fell, I couldn't even feel anything anymore.
"Ah, it's a shame this child inherited his mother's stupidity instead of my intelligence,"The man left me. Helpless.
