The Strange Previous Injury


    realized I was in the hospital when I awoke.


    “Are you awake? Do you feel any difort?” An attractive voice sounded, and I turned to see As.


    “How did I end up here?” I asked weakly. My memory of recent events was hazy.


    He pressed the call button, and the doctor entered to reexamine me. He asked, “Do you feel any


    difort?”


    “No, I’m just exhausted and want to sleep,” I replied.


    Dn entered with arge paper bag and said, “Doctor, here are her X–rays. Please take a look.”


    The doctor examined several X–ray films and asked me, “Miss, how long ago did you break your


    corbone?”


    I stared at the doctor in disbelief and asked, “Are you talking about me?”


    “Yes, from the X–rays, you have an old corbone fracture. You should be careful with that area as it’s


    prone to issues. Besides that, you’re fine. Thankfully, the car wasn’t going too fast, so there was no


    major


    harm. You can just go home and rest.”


    The doctor’s words shocked me. I tried to exin, I’ve never had a bone fracture before.”


    My words surprised the doctor, who smiled, saying, “These are the X–ray films taken earlier. Mr. As


    feared you injured your neck and told us to give you a full body check–up. We can easily spot these


    fractures on the films.”


    It was strange because I don’t remember getting a fracture.


    I looked at As, who appeared to know about my injury long ago. I couldn’t help but touch my


    corbone


    area. There was nothing unusual there, but the doctor couldn’t be wrong. Also, As was holding the X-


    rays, confirming all this had happened.


    I was in disbelief and wondered how I couldn’t remember such a thing. It exined why this area


    sometimes hurt, but I never suspected anything.


    The doctor left after giving me some instructions. Still, I was shocked. I closed my eyes and asked,


    “What


    happened? How did I end up here?”


    The room fell silent, and then I heard Dn say, “Mr. As noticed something was off with you and


    followed you. He saw your car flip into a ditch.”


    I opened my eyes and struggled to remember what had happened, but everything was blurry.


    “Thank you,” I said, forcing a weak smile. I felt even more embarrassed. I couldn’t escape As’s


    watchful


    eyes whenever I was most vulnerable. It was uncanny


    “I want to go home,” I said, looking at As.

    He appeared calm as usual. He suggested, genuinely concerned, “How about staying here for


    observation tonight?”


    After some thought, I replied, “No, my family is waiting for me at home. They’ll worry. I just need to go


    home and get a good night’s sleep.


    “Then I’ll drive you home,” As said calmly.


    I didn’t argue and sat up. I nced out the window and realized it was alreadyte at night. During the


    drive, As told me he had sent my car for repairs and advised me to rest for a few days.


    At the entrance of my home, I thanked him and exited the car. Once again, I faced the door. There was


    a time when I eagerly awaited his return, but now, he wouldn’t even bother entering.


    I didn’t look back to express any lingering sentiments or goodbyes. After all, I needed to learn to let go.


    Otherwise, I would only end up hurting myself.
