Nuna was in a car accident?
“How is she? Where are you located? I will come over right now!” I dropped everything I had and rushed to the airport, and got myself on the next flight to Seattle.
It was close to 20 hours after I received that call. How is she? When the hospital first called, they said she has not woken up since the crash, and that she suffered a lot of bleeding.
“We’ll need you to fill up this form, may I ask what your relationship to Ms Lee is?” The police officer asked
“I’m her… fiancée, her boyfriend” I lied, I know I had no legal relationship with her, but I wanted to see her so badly.
“She is recovering well, she has stopped bleeding, we will run her through more tests once we get hers or your approval. She just woke up an hour ago, the doctor is still with her, you might like to speak to the doctor further about her condition Mr. Lee”
As I entered the room, I saw nuna looking confused. The nurse informed the doctor that I was her fiancée and gave him the signed documents.
“Mr. Lee, I’m glad we could contact you. Ms Lee is suffering from memory loss. She is unable to remember who she is or what she was doing when the accident happen”
I walked closer to her, wanting to give her a close look of myself. She might be too afraid, in this foreign country, with no familiar faces. Can she remember me?
“Can you recognize me?” I asked her, maybe she didn’t understand what they were asking about. She shook her head, but grabbed onto my shirt and hid behind me, she seems to be very afraid of the hospital staff.
“I’ll leave you with your fiancée for a while, I will check back on her again. This memory loss, might just be a while” the doctor smiled, relieved that she could understand me and took some interest.
“Where is this place?” She said very softly
“This is the hospital, you got into an accident and hurt your head” I said as I looked at the bandage on her little head.
“Does it hurt?’ I placed my hand on the back of her head.
“A little, but who am I? who are you?” She held on to my shirt in her fingers. She was very scared, but for some reason, she seems to feel safe with me.
“Your name is Chae Yeon, my name is Seung Gi”
“I’m scared” she blurted out
“Its okay, everything is alright now, you are safe, I’m here to take care of you, you have nothing to worry about. Seung Gi is here” I held her in my arms. Surprisingly, she did not struggle away from me. She found a comfortable spot in my arms and stayed there.
“You are not going to leave me right?” She asked with her shivering voice
“Never, I will never leave you sweetie” I kiss her bandaged head.
That night, I called home, and suspended all my activities and school. I have decided to stay here with her, till she recovers at least.
After a week, she finally asked me the question
“Who are you to me?”
“I’m your boyfriend, my love”
“Are we in love?” she asked cutely
“Very much, yes” I kissed her.
“Do you love me more or do I love you more?” She has been asking very weird questions all day
“I think its about the same, maybe I love you a little bit more, because now you do not remember me” I played with her soft brown hair
“Yeonie, do you like it here?” She can be discharged soon, I was hoping to keep her here in Seattle, it will be much easier for her recuperation. I know she told everyone that she’s away on a holiday. I don’’t know how long this memory loss will stay, but to me its an opportunity, a chance to allow her to accept my love, a chance for us to be together.
“I don’t like the hospital” she frowned
“How about we go out for a ride?” I wanted to show her the cottage I purchase a few days ago. The renovations are almost completed; it’s a present I got for her.
We arrived at the cottage south of Seattle. It’s a small little house with 3 rooms. I furnished 2 bedrooms and one study room. The house is surrounded by a large plot of garden. There were all sorts of herbs and fruit trees, and houses all kinds of little animals.
“Do we live here?” she was looking around the house happily
“Yes, this is our home” I was selfishly building up memories for her, I didn’t know if this will affect her recovery, but all I knew was I didn’t want to let go of her.
The Chae Yeon now does not struggle when I hold her close to me. She hugs me when she is feeling afraid, she asks me to keep her company when it gets dark. She does not have to be troubled by all the problems we had before. She does not know I am 9 years her junior, she does not have to worry about anything. She calls me Oppa.
“Can I come back here, I don’t want to stay at the hospital anymore” I was relieved, she likes this place.
3 weeks after the accident, we moved into our little home. She likes to spend time in the garden, reading books and magazines. As the weather got a bit chilly, she stayed indoors by going shopping.
“Where does the money come from?” she was holding on to the credit and cash cards I gave her.
“I put money in there, that’s where money comes from, silly” I pulled her close to me and kissed the scar on her head.
“Where do you get money from? This time she was observing the cash notes in her purse
“I work and earn the money” I put away her purse, wanting her attention
“Why don’t I work?” She turned to me with a puzzled look
“Because you are my girl, that’s what a man does. He works and provides for his girl”
“So all a woman have to do is spend the money?” she found it amusing
“Of course there are a lot more a woman does, but for you, because you are extra special, all you need to do is to love me” I gave her another peck on her nose.
She place her arms on my shoulders, and hugged me.
“I don’t understand a lot of things, but its okay, because I have my Oppa.” She said it as though she was telling it to herself. I was beyond happiness.
She was always strong and independent. But now, Nuna has turn into this little woman that has become so dependent on me. She lies comfortably in my arms when we watch movies. She feeds me dessert that she makes and she kisses me when I kiss her. More importantly, I never have to see her tears. She was my happy little woman.
Chae Yeon:
I woke up in a dimly lighted room. There were soft buzzing sounds of machines. A nurse came close to me, she asked me something, but I didn’t understand her. My head was hurting a little. I felt weak all over. I didn’t know where I was, who I am.
The room was soon filled with a few doctors and more nurses. Each talking to me in English. I didn’t know what they were asking.
“I don’t know anything” I finally said. I don’t remember a single thing. They seem to have concluded something, and they removed some of the machines in the room. The drip I was on was taken out as well. They did some tests on me and told me to wait. They mention Seung Gi. Who is Seung Gi?. Seung Gi sounds familiar. Just as I felt better to sit up, a man came into the room. The doctors were smiling. He look familiar, do I know him?
“Can you recognize me?” He asked me. I could understand him. He is the first person I understood after all these while. He seemed kind and harmless. He said he is Seung Gi. He said he is my fiancé. My Seung Gi Oppa.
Oppa came to the hospital everyday. Sometimes he stays with me at night, but since I was always on medication, I tend to sleep a lot in the hospital. I didn’t like the hospital, it made me very scared. I asked Seung gi oppa to let me go home. And he did.
Oppa brought me home, we live in a pretty little cottage in a small town away from the big city. Our house is part of a big plot of farm. I like our address: No. 2 Orchard Ville. Oppa said the 2 represents the two of us and Orchard is for the trees and the plants.
There are some flowers in the gardens. Squirrels and other tiny creatures would crawl around the fruit trees. I love spending time outside. Sometimes, Oppa will drive to the city, to work I think. He gives me money and cards to spend. He said because I’m his woman, I should spend his money. But I don’t like to go shopping without him. I feel afraid being outside without Oppa. I rather stay at home to read. There are so many things I don’t know. Reading helps me understand things better. But when Oppa is around, I don’t need to know anything, because he knows everything.
I don’t remember my past, I have no memories. Oppa said we had lots of beautiful memories, and its okay that I don’t remember any, because we are creating beautiful memories as we live each day. He said he love me very much. I asked him what love is, he said you love someone when you want to spend every minute of the day with. I love my Seung Gi oppa.
