At the hospital, the doctor and nurses were trying to bring a boy named Sohyun back to life with CPR, but they couldn't.
The room was filled with a continuous beeping sound, and Sohyun's parents were sobbing loudly in fear while praying from the depths of their hearts that God may save their precious child.
They begged the doctor to save their son desperately, but the doctor knew it was useless, and he couldn'treturn to life anymore. The doctor stopped CPR and glanced at his watch, then said, "At 10:32 PM. on January 10th, patient 'Yoon Sohyun' passed away. May he rest in peace."
Sohyun's mother begged, "Doctor, save my son~ Do not give up, please! Bring him back to me! Aaahhh~~"
She desperately grabbed the doctor's hand and kept begging him as his husband tried to hold her back while he was crying because of the grief he had felt in his heart. The doctor remained silent and held his head down out of lameness...
He wasn't able to do anything for this boy and his family...

When everyone was immersed in their own helplessness, Sohyun suddenly gasped deeply and opened his eyes wide.
"Beep... Beep... Beep..."
Everyone's attention was focused on Sohyun. They were frozen in shock for a few seconds, wondering what was happening. Then the nurse broke the silence and said as her voice trembled, "He's back! He's alive, Doctor!"
The doctor checked Sohyun's vital signs immediately while Sohyun's parents stared at him with bated breath.
He was completely shocked and couldn't believe Sohyun was alive again. A tense feeling filled the air in the room as the doctor examined him. "Sohyun, if you can hear me, blink twice for me."
Sohyun breathed heavily and then blinked twice for the doctor, but the thing he couldn't understand was, "Why did he call me 'Sohyun'?"
He thought, [Where am I? Have I survived? Or is this heaven?...]
The doctor turned his face towards Sohyun's parents and told them that miraculously, Sohyun is conscious now, while he was smiling, "He's back, Mr. & Mrs. Lee!"
Sohyun's parents burst out crying from happiness and shock, "Oh my God! Thank you! Thank God!"
Sohyun wondered as he looked at those strangers, [Who are they?! Don't tell me they're the bosses of those gangsters! What should I do?!]
Sohyun was totally scared and shocked, which caused him a terrible headache, and he drifted to sleep as his eyes got closed.

That night was a chaotic situation where So-Ah struggled between death and life in the middle of the street, thinking it was unfair to die like this. On the other hand, it was Sohyun lying on the hospital bed whose time was tragically over while everyone was praying hopelessly for him to come back.
So-Ah's soul and Sohyun's body became one that night...
It was strangely unbelievable, but it changed So-Ah's life completely...
She was given another chance to live on her 18th birthday, just like a miracle...
~
The tragic yet miraculous night came to an end in a dramatic way...
Tomorrow morning, Sohyun's friend Jaemin was sitting next to his bed, a regretful but relieved expression on his face. He kept murmuring to himself after a big sigh, "Thank God that you're conscious now~ If you hadn't woken up, I'd never have forgotten myself~ I'm sorry Sohyun~ It was all my fault~"
Meanwhile, Sohyun woke up from his sleep because of Jaemin's voice. He frowned and turned his head, trying to sleep again, but he failed.
[Aaahh... Whose voice keeps talking here? It makes my headache even worse... Just be quiet! Can't you see a patient is sleeping here?!... You're lucky that I don't have the energy to talk or you would have been dead in my hands!] Sohyun thought and then slowly opened her eyes to glance at the source of the voice...
As soon as he saw the young boy sitting next to his bed, he exclaimed, [Oh! Who's this handsome boy~ I've never seen a handsome gangster! He might be an angel who takes me to heaven, though~... God knows how to convince me to die~...]...
Sohyun was stunned by the boy's face as his gaze crossed Jaemin's. Jaemin's teary eyes widened in shock. "Ah! You're awake!... Are you okay?~... Can you hear me, Sohun-Ah?~" Jaemin's voice trembled as he was overwhelmed at that moment. Sohyun murmured something in a low tone, but Jaemin couldn't hear his voice, so he closed his ears near Sohyun's mouth, and Sohyun then repeated as he was irritated, "I'm So-Ah~ Why do you all keep calling me Sohyun?! It's annoying!"
Jaemin pulled back and stared at Sohyun while he was confused by what he said, and asked, "What are you saying?~... Do you not recognize me?~ Can you call my name?"
Sohyun replied in a low voice, "How could I tell your name when I don't know you?..."
...[What's wrong with him seriously?!] ...
...[But why is my voice so hoarse? Is it because of the accident?]...
Sohyun was stuck in confused thoughts, wondering what was exactly happening there. On the other hand, Jaemin froze for a few seconds in wonder and then rushed out of the room to find Dr. Park.
Sohyun was left alone in the room. He raised his hands and looked at them, noticing they were much longer than before. Then he touched his face and his hair. His face felt different, and his hair was shorter than before.
Sohyun was getting more and more nervous as he was exploring his own body. He slipped his hands on his chest, and it was as flat as a wall. "What the hell?! Where the hell are my boobs?! I know it wasn't big, but I wasn't this flat either!!!" He muttered to himself as he reached his hand to the lower parts of his body.
Sohyun flinched in fear as his hand touched a bump on his pants. "What have I touched just now? It's not what I thought, right? Am I hallucinating?..."
Sohyun chuckled nervously, "hehe... I guess I've become crazy~ haha~" And then shouted at the top of his lungs, "AAAAAAAAhhhhhh!!!! What the hell is happening?!!!!!!!!! Hollyyyyyyyy Mollyyyyyyy~~~~"
~
Doctor Park and Jaemin rushed to the room when they heard Sohyun's shouting.
"What's wrong, Sohyun-ssi?...Look at me..." Dr. Park asked.
Sohyun wasn't able to answer Dr. Park's question since he was breathing heavily due to his panicked mind. "I'm... Ah... I... Can't~... It's not~... Possible~..."
Dr. Park asked the nurse, "Miss Lee, please inject a sedative for him." Then he looked at Sohyun and said, "Calm down, Sohyun-ssi. And breathe slowly with my counting...one~...two~...one~...two~...It's ok... Everything is going to be okay... Just try to relax for now..."
Sohyun followed the doctor's instructor as he felt the sting feeling of the needle on his skin and closed his eyes eventually as the sedatives did their job in his body through the veins.
Jaemin was standing a foot apart from the bed, staring at Sohyun worriedly, [Has he lost his memories?~... Why was he so shocked?]
~
Doctor Park and Jaemin walked outside the room to talk. Jaemin asked, "Doctor, what's wrong? Is he okay?!~"
-"I guess he got amnesia. We should take some X-rays and examine him. Let me call his parents first."
+"Amnesia?!"
-"I think so... But we can't be sure yet. Please stay by his side for now until his parents arrive here."
+"Alright. I can't leave him now since I'm worried."
-"Thanks, young man."
Dr. Park patted Jaemin's shoulder and walked away. Jaemin stepped back into the room and sat down beside his bed quietly, blaming himself for Sohyun's situation.
[I'm so stupid. What have I done to you? You were trying to save me when I attempted to kill myself which brought you here, Lying on this bed for two fucking months, And now, when you finally woke up from a coma, you've lost your memories. What should I do? I ruined my best friend's life.] Jaemin pondered this and sighed.
He then muttered, "I didn't deserve your sacrifice. You should have just let me die..."
~
After one and a half hours, Sohyun awakened again. When he opened his eyes, Jaemin was next to him. He was confused and scared and couldn't get through the whole situation. He then asked Jaemin to give him a mirror so he could check his face.
Jaemin told him that he didn't have a mirror, but he could use his phone's camera, so he gave it to him with a worried face. Jaemin was concerned about whether it was the right thing to do or not because he might have a panic attack again.
Sohyun took the phone and checked himself. He flinched as he saw his own image on the screen, [Who's this? This isn't my face or my body. What exactly happened when I got hit by a car?~~Did my body change with someone else's? But what about my own body?! Does this mean I'm no longer So-Ah?!]
He was lost in a multitude of thoughts with a confused expression on his face, and Jaemin was observing him in concern. [I guess he truly forgot everything to the point that he doesn't even recognize himself!~]
Jaemin cleared his voice anxiously and then said, " I know you're confused, but don't get scared. You'll gain back your memories with time, Sohyun."
Sohyun gave Jaemin's phone back and then asked with a raised eyebrow, "Who am I? How did I end up in the hospital? I guess you should know since you've been here since the morning."
Jaemin gulped nervously and clenched his fists. "You got into an accident... Two months ago... Because of..."
He couldn't continue his sentence as fear rushed over his heart...
He couldn't tell him he was the reason that made Sohyun lie on this bed in the first place...
Sohyun stared at him with anticipated eyes, waiting for him to continue. However, Jaemin wasn't able to talk anymore...
Sohyun said, "Because of...?!"
As Jaemin was about to say something, the door opened, and Dr. Park, along with Sohyun's parents, walked inside.
Sohyun's mother shouted at Jaemin, "How dare you come here?! I told you that I don't want you to see my son again!... Get out now !..."
