The Healing Heart: A Tale of Love & Medicine [PJM Oneshot]

Chapter 5: The Recovery

Author's POV

The team continued to monitor the patient closely, working tirelessly to support her recovery and help her regain consciousness. They knew that it would be a long road ahead, but they were determined to see her through to a full recovery.

...Magical Time Shift....

As the days passed, the team of doctors continued to closely monitor the patient's progress. Then, three weeks after the surgery, the patient finally began to stir.

Dr Park was the first to notice that she was waking up. He rushed to her side, his heart pounding with excitement and relief.

"Can you hear me?" he asked gently.

The patient's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at Dr Park with a confused expression. She didn't seem to recognize him or understand what was happening.

"Take it slow," he said soothingly. "You've been in a coma for a while. It's going to take some time for your brain to catch up."

The patient blinked a few times, and then slowly turned her head to look around the room. She seemed disoriented and agitated.

She seemed to calm down a little bit at his words, but she still looked dazed and confused.

"It's okay," Dr Park said, placing a hand on her arm. "You're safe now. You're in the hospital. You've been in an accident, but you're going to be okay."

"Can you tell us your name?" Dr Park asked gently.

The patient opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She tried again, but still couldn't remember her name.

She couldn't remember anything about her life before the accident, including her career as an idol. "What happened to me? Why am I here?" she asked.

She looked around the room, taking in the medical equipment and the concerned faces of the doctors and nurses but she felt a sense of gratitude towards them, especially Dr Park who had been there for her since the beginning.

She wondered why he seemed so familiar to her, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Dr Jang, the neurosurgeon, entered the room at that moment and confirmed that the patient had indeed lost her memory temporarily due to the trauma of the accident.

She assured the team that it was a common occurrence and that the patient's memory would likely return with time and rehabilitation.

Dr Park remained by her side, monitoring her progress and offering her comfort and reassurance. Her boyfriend, Yeonjun, had been waiting anxiously for her to wake up.

He was allowed to visit her briefly, but the patient didn't seem to recognize him either, adding to his frustration and anger.

As the patient slowly regained her bearings, she was visited by her boyfriend Yeonjun "Thank God, you're finally awake. I was so worried about you," he said as he took her hand.

The patient looked at him with a blank expression. "Who are you?" she asked.

Yeonjun looked shocked and hurt. "What do you mean? It's me, your boyfriend, Yeonjun."

The patient shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't remember you."

Dr Jang stepped forward. "It's not uncommon for patients to experience memory loss after a traumatic event like this. We'll do everything we can to help you regain her memory, but it may take some time."

To the media : Dr Kim stepped into the podium and explain it to the media and her fans. "She was in a car accident, and you sustained some serious injuries. We've been doing everything we can to help her recover, and she is making great progress."
