Assalamualaikum Captain
Like Being Reborn
Arriving on the highway, the military car driven by Min Hyuk and Joo Young split the city streets.
The car is going very fast because the road has started to stretch.
It does not take much time for them to arrive right in front of the hospital ER.
Min Hyuk immediately went down to open the back car door for Joo Young.
With a quick movement, Joo Young ran over while tightly holding the woman.
Min Hyuk follows him into the ER after parking the car they used.
"Nurse"
"Nurse"
Shouted Joo Young so hysterically that it invited the attention of patients and other patient families.
Two female nurses and one male nurse approached Joo Young in a hurry while pushing the bed.
Joo Young laid him carefully onto the bed. And immediately help the nurses push the bed.
"Where's Doctor Sua?" joo Young asked as soon as the patient's bed was in the emergency room.
"Why look for me?"
The voice coming from behind made him look.
He found the woman in the same uniform as him but covered in a white coat typical of a Doctor was looking at him cynically. The army doctor whom he had considered his younger brother and also his best friend, Hyeon Sua.
"Please not now. Help me take care of him first," his index finger pointed at the woman who had just muttered indistinctly.
Sua glanced at the patient and was surprised.
"Joo Hyun! Well God," he said as he approached the patient's bed.
He immediately ordered the nurses to do first aid. No less busy he took his own medical equipment used to provide oxygen supply to the human body.
Joo Young could only watch their activities to save the woman while praying. Unceasingly, he said a prayer in his heart.
God, save him. I beg.
-------
Several hours passed with great hope and incessant prayer.
After getting the results of the MRI scan, Sua performed emergency surgery outside of her working hours.
She was supposed to switch work hours two hours ago with Doctor Oh-seniornya-who also served in the ER and IGD wards.
Joo Young just followed what Sua said as a doctor.
Min Hyuk and Joo Young are waiting in front of the operating room.
Min Hyuk glanced at his watch. The hour hand has shown at 3 o'clock 25 minutes in the morning. He exhaled a long breath then glanced at Joo Young who was lowered with both hands into a buffer of his head.
"I bought a drink first" he said as he moved from his seat.
He patted Joo Young twice on the shoulder because the man was still shaking.
A few minutes after Min Hyuk left, the operating room indicator light went off.
The operating room door opened automatically when Sua who was still wearing OK clothes or Operation Camera in blue came out with a lot of sweat on her face and neck.
The woman stood before Joo Young who was still lowered.
"Oppa, explain to me, is that Hyun Joo?"
Joo Young looked up at the two beads of Sua's eyes which were now as if asking for an explanation.
"How is he doing now?"
Joo Young asked regardless of Sua's question.
Sua sat down next to him.
"He's in a coma right now" he said, with a sharp look from Joo Young.
"Quiet down! I guarantee he's only in a coma for a few days. He had a severe shock to his head. And also a severe concussion. I can't guarantee her memory, we can see the results when she wakes up. The torn wounds I've sewed, in a few weeks it will definitely heal. And also, based on the MRI results he had a dislocated kneecap. There's a chance he'll have to get surgery on his leg when he wakes up from a coma."
Sua leaned her body against the back of the chair, "She will be transferred to the patient's ward immediately" he said later.
Joo Young felt the sadness that he had experienced was repeated.
"Please save her," he muttered as he rubbed his face.
Sua looked at him with a sad look. The last time they dealt in front of an operating room like this was about five years ago. When he and Hyun Joo 3rd grade High School and Joo Young were at the military academy, or rather when the incident happened.
"Have finished? How's he doing?"
Min Hyuk came with two glasses of Americano and a cup of milk coffee in both hands. He gave Sua a cup of milk and a glass of americano to Joo Young.
"Gomawo Min oppa," Sua said when receiving a glass of milk coffee.
Without thanking her, Joo Young immediately gulped down the drink that Min Hyuk had given her.
"But who is that woman? Why is she so similar to Hyun Joo?"
"really right? Really similar, right?"
Sua chimed in with a nod.
"That's right. I also immediately recognized the woman as Hyun Joo."
"But where did you find him? It seems like he's been hurt long enough."
Sua looks so curious.
"It looks like he was the survivor of the plane that crashed yesterday. But why can't they find him during the evacuation? Heeem, weird."
Min Hyuk seemed to think.
"Then? what are your plans after this?" ask the woman.
"Well, maybe, report it to the military headquarters? or to the airline directly?" he sipped his drink while thinking back about what they were going to do.
"Don't report this issue first. Let him get up and get well, then we decide what to do next".
Joo Young said as she stood up.
"Please take good care of this. I'll just drop him for a second on you guys," he said so flatly.
He extended his right hand at Min Hyuk. Gave him a raised forehead from Min Hyuk.
"What?"
"Car keys."
Min Hyuk immediately regained his senses and quickly reached into his pants pocket. He took out the car keys and placed them on Joo Young's open palm.
"Hey. Where are you going?" min Hyuk asked to see that Joo Young had walked away from Sua and himself without telling him where he was going.
"Ck. The polar bear." Min Hyuk sneered at him.
"Tell me!" Sua looked annoyed at Min Hyuk. From then on he was so curious what happened to the woman and how they could find her but she seemed to be ignored.
Min Hyuk let out a long sigh before finally what Sua asked just flowed with a story.
------------
Joo Young pressed a number password on the door of the apartment he came to. The apartment on the 10th floor of one of the skyscrapers located not far from the army military hospital Gangwon.
Once open, he entered the apartment so dark. The sensory lights in the main room immediately lit up as Joo Young passed through the room.
His hand grabbed the small remote control attached to the wall and pressed the small button on the top right, so that all the lights in the apartment room were on.
Joo Young swept the entire contents in the middle room of the apartment with a sad look. Until his gaze stopped on a large picture frame stuck on the wall of the room, right above the sofa facing the television.
His steps led him to the front of the photo. In the photo, a girl dressed in traditional Korean country attire is pink with her long curly hair clamped back using a flower clasp and smiling sweetly at the camera. She looks so graceful.
There was clearly sadness in the man as he looked at the face of the girl in the photo.
"Hyun Joo, forgive Oppa."
Joo Young is crying. The man could no longer contain his sadness. Her crying broke the silence in the apartment.
The apartment that had always been his residence while on vacation to Gangwon with his favorite sister.
Joo Young rarely goes home to the apartment because she is trying to forget her sadness. If he was in the barracks with his colleagues, he would not feel as sad as in an apartment. Too many memories they did in this apartment.
"I'm sorry Oppa, Joa." His words were still accompanied by crying. Her guilt is so great for not having the time to protect her sister when the incident five years ago.
Joa is the nickname Hyun Joo gave himself. And those closest to him were used to calling him by that name.
Joo Young still cries. No matter he was a man who was even a soldier. It felt like he hadn't cried like that in a long time.
For five years he blamed himself for the death of his brother.
For five years he also tried to rise despite continuing to feel deep sadness.
For five years he was distressed by his sister's longing.
And now, he was met with a person who was very similar to his beloved sister.
Makes him have to go back to remembering the past that has been a little forgotten.
-----------
Min Hyuk and Sua were now in the girl's nursery.
They stared at the sleeping girl's face.
I don't know what's on their minds.
"Sua," called Min Hyuk who made the name owner turn to him.
"If he really was Joa?" ask Min Hyuk. Sua directly touched her forehead violently. He grimaced in pain.
"Stupid. Where are the dead, alive again?"
"But they're very similar" Min Hyuk argued.
"Your eyes are similar. Joa had a mole on the corner of her lips while the girl had none. Do they look alike?"
Sua moved away from Min Hyuk and chose to sit on the sofa which was not far from the patient bed.
"Yes yeah," Min Hyuk seemed to think.
He followed Sua and sat down beside the woman.
"Joa is reborn."
He muttered but could still be heard by Sua.
Sua thought the same thing. If it was impossible for the dead Hyun Joo to come back to life, would it be possible for him to be reborn?
