Are you the same person who was just crying so hard?
Now she’s glaring at me like I’m the enemy of her entire family.
Even if I wanted to smooth things over, it was difficult for me to speak, especially after experiencing being stabbed in the belly like a lamb skewer just a moment ago.
What if she’s also a crazy bitch like the other one?
Thus, we were in a silent standoff.
It was like a scene from a Western, with her hand on her holster, waiting for the noon bell.
*Ting*
Breaking the suffocating silence, a clear notification chime sounded, and a window popped up in front of my eyes.
[Guidance on Dimensional Travel – 1]
[In the event of death or an irreversible unconscious state in a dimension, dimensional travel will occur.]
[Until you find a dimension you desire, you shall journey through infinite dimensions.]
Guidance on dimensional travel…
As soon as I thought, “What the hell does that mean?”, the pigeon’s words flashed in my mind.
That damn pigeon bitch…
So, according to those words, it means I died from being stabbed earlier and moved here, right?
Well, I guess I wouldn’t be alive after my insides were spilled out.
Then this is another dimension.
What is it, a dimension that is no different from Earth?
And it seems to be Korea.
Is this some kind of multiverse or something?
What a ridiculously convenient setup.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? I asked you who Lee Hye-jung is!”
Ah, I want to think calmly for a bit, why are you constantly talking to me?
I’m already so damn confused.
“Ah… that… is it because I slept for a long time? I think I got confused with a dream.”
“What… was that it? I almost misunderstood.”
“Haha… sorry. Ugh!”
She gave me a sharp look, then pinched my side hard.
“Whether it was a dream or not, you met another woman. This is a justifiable punishment.”
Yeah, thanks.
You’re an angel just for not stabbing me.
A few hours ago, when I asked who she was, I involuntarily put on a show of my internal organs.
I managed to gloss over the part about mentioning a woman she didn’t know, but the most important problem still remained.
What’s her name?
It was a blunder to pretend I knew her.
I should’ve said I didn’t remember as soon as I saw her.
No, then I could’ve been stabbed again.
She seems more normal than Lee Hye-jung, but it’s too early to let my guard down.
There’s no way that damned pigeon would send me to a normal place.
*Click.*
The door opened again.
People in white coats stood blankly at the door.
Is it time for the rounds?
But why are they just standing there?
“P-Patient Kang In-ho…?”
The elderly doctor at the front called me hesitantly.
“Y-yes?”
“You’ve woken up?”
“A-as you can see?”
I answered with a youthful voice, thinking, Ah, I can buy some time.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The doctor conducted simple tests, repeatedly saying,
“This is a miracle.”
Apparently, I had been unconscious for two months due to a traffic accident.
For me, this time of following the doctor’s instructions, folding and unfolding my arms, and walking for a bit, was so comfortable.
It was because I felt that at least these people wouldn’t harm me.
I sent the girl who wanted to stay by my side away.
She threw a tantrum, saying she would stay, but it was a victory I achieved by desperately signaling to the doctor with my eyes.
I told the doctor that I didn’t remember anything except my name.
It wasn’t a lie, because I really didn’t know anything about this body.
I saw a strange boy when I looked in the mirror.
He looked handsome, the kind that would attract women like that.
I also thought that if I had an ugly face, I wouldn’t receive such attention.
After a few more tests, the doctor explained that there was nothing seriously wrong with my body, but that I needed to undergo a thorough examination.
He said that the memory loss could be a temporary side effect of the traffic accident, and advised me to try to gradually regain my memory while living a normal life.
The doctor gave some instructions to the residents and finished the rounds.
“Patient Kang In-ho, congratulations on waking up safely. It seems like God really helped you.”
Well… it is related to God, but instead of helping, she fucked me over.
I couldn’t say that, of course.
The doctor, having finished the rounds, took the girl who had been at the door and disappeared.
And 30 minutes later.
“In-ho, is the amnesia… real?”
“Yeah. Actually, I… I don’t remember anything except my name.”
“Then why were you acting like you did earlier…”
The more I explained, the more suspicious I would become.
I decided to nip the question about why I was comforting her earlier in the bud.
“I don’t know. It felt familiar somehow. Like a friendly feeling. So I did that.”
“In-ho…”
As if touched, she covered her mouth with her hand.
Her ears turned bright red, as if she were embarrassed.
Then she suddenly hugged me again.
“Shin On-yu.”
“Huh?”
“That’s my name. Your friend since we were five years old. I live next door, understand you better than anyone, and have spent more time with you than anyone else, that kind of friend.”
“So, a childhood friend?”
“Hehe, what’s that? Isn’t that what old people say?”
Ah… do kids these days not use those words?
I feel sad to be reminded that I’m old.
“Ah, anyway, haha… that’s a relief. I was worried since I couldn’t remember anything. It’s good that you’re here.”
“Yeah! Don’t worry, I’ll stick by your side and help you remember everything.”
Right, I will adapt to this world and survive somehow.
Let’s make sure that horrible experience of being stabbed is just a one-time thing.
“I’ll be with you all day long. Be prepared♥”
Hmm… surviving will require a lot of effort.
Shit.
