Ken was completely fine and had followed all the instructions given by the doctor but only until yesterday.Now that his condition had stabilized, he wanted to learn more about the world. To do that, he decided to go outside.He asked the doctors for permission, but they told him not to leave the hospital until he was perfectly fine..
After being declined and without any permission to go outside, he decided to talk to the people inside the hospital. He was anxious about it, as he had never had a normal conversation with anyone not in this world, nor in his old one. Then, he stepped out of his room and walked into the corridor of the building. There, in the corridor, he met someone who was also an inpatient.
.
"Hello, mister. Sorry to bother you, but can we talk for a minute?"
"Yeah, but what do you want to talk about?"
Nervously
"Yeah... nothing important. Just a normal talk. I heard that talking to someone is supposed to help."
"Look, I said yeah, but I really don't have time to waste on this."
Then Ken ran away from that place, too overwhelmed by nervousness.After sprinting through the corridor, he reached the hospital's park area, which was located in front of the building. From there, he could finally see what this new world looked like.
"Hmm?! What are those things? Why is everything here so big and shiny? And what are those monster like things? Look at the speed they're moving! This new world is so cool... and kind of mysterious."
Ken was filled with happiness and excitement as he began to explore this new world. From his expressions alone, it was clear that he had already started to change. From spending all his time locked away in his room, day after day, living a depressed life to now feeling this much joy it was easy to imagine just how much he must have hated his old life.
Now he decided to return to his room so he could get some rest.While walking back, he saw an old man who seemed to be in some kind of trouble as if he were searching for something.
"Ha-h... hi, sir. Are you... um, searching for something?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for a picture of mine. It was here just a second ago… then a strong gust of wind came, and now it's gone."
"Hmm, not sure why you can't see it. But it's right there by that tree. I'll go grab it for you."
"Thank you, young man. And I'm sorry for the trouble."
"No.. no you don't have to".
"Guess I should've worn my glasses, huh?Anyway, what are you doing here, kid? And what's your name?"
"I'm ken, and also convalescent here in hospital."
"Oh, I couldn't help but notice your way of speaking sounds different. Where do you come from?".
"I'm from an..."wait i was so close too tell him, i can not let anyone know that i'm not from this world""
"Ken... hey, what happened? you seem lost in thought. If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay."
"No, it's not....
Then someone called out to him and said, "Mister Ken, the doctor wants to see you". Ken had no choice but to return to his room to meet the doctor.This time, he was saved but he knew he had to be more careful. He couldn't let anyone find out that he was from another world.
Ken entered his room and saw that the doctor was already there.He immediately apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, doctor… instead of resting, I went outside."
"No need to apologize. Take a seat I just need to run a quick check-up before we can discharge you."
"Doctor, what exactly do you mean by 'discharge'?"
"I mean you have to get discharge, so that you can go home".
After hearing that from the doctor, Ken was faced with a new problem, thinking that where would he go now?. He didn't have anywhere to stay, no place he could call home in this world.
"So, to begin with, tell me your name , your full name."
"Um… it's Ken. Ken Wingston."
"That's an unusual name… You don't sound like you're from here. Where exactly are you from?"
Ken went completely blank when he heard that question. He couldn't say a word , it's like his entire mind had shut down. Just as he started trying to think of an answer, Mei's father walked into the room. The interruption gave Ken a bit of time to come up with some kind of story to protect himself and keep his secret safe.
"It's good to see you. mr.shiroum, So you made it."
"I had something I wanted to discuss with him, but since he's busy, I'll wait."
The doctor's questions started again, but Ken was still not prepared to answer them. "Doctor, if you don't mind, I would like to talk to Mr. Shiroum first". Ken asked the doctor to do that because he thought he would get some extra time. But he didn't know what was coming...
"So, ken before we talk tell me where are from".
Mr. Shiroum asked that question because he noticed that Ken got really nervous when the doctor asked it. He also felt that they were doing so much for Ken, yet they still didn't know anything about him.
"...I'm sorry, sir. I just didn't have enough courage to tell anyone about my condition. But if you want to know, I can at least tell you this much: I don't have parents they abandoned me long ago. Right now, I have no place to live and no money with me. That's the whole story, sir."
After hearing that, Mei's father decided to help Ken."Well, I feel sorry for you. I can't do much, but if you'd like, I can give you a job. I won't be able to pay you for it, but at the very least, I can provide you with a place to stay and food. If you want..."
"Yes! I'll take that offer, sir. Thank you so much for this."
"Okay then, here take this. It's the address of my place. Tomorrow, when you get discharged from here, come straight to this address. I'll also send you some clothes to wear, so make sure to be there on time."
"I can't thank you enough for this sir. I'll be there in time".
.
Next day,
Ken is getting ready in his new clothes to go to Mei's home. His journey toward a new life is about to begin… and he's truly happy about it.
"Follow your heart ,Do what you want to do because you only have one life"
