She does not have any mental issues. A long time ago, at the subway station entrance, she remembered me; she clearly remembered me.
Why? Why? Why?!
Why was she so agitated and terrified when she saw me?
What terrifying memory did I leave on her?
"What's wrong?" Yoo Jae-suk asked Anna, who was walking with Lee Kwang-soo but seemed lost in thought.
"A lady suddenly went crazy when she saw me, it was a bit scary," Kwang-soo said.
"Are you okay?" Miao PD asked.
"I'm fine," Anna shook her head in response.
"It's getting late; we should head back," Yoo Jae-suk said to the director.
"Thank you so much for your hard work; I really appreciate it," the director said, holding both of Yoo Jae-suk's hands.
"It's no problem; we'll come back when we have time," Yoo Jae-suk replied with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you," the director continued to express his gratitude.
"Then we'll be leaving now," Miao PD said.
After exchanging a few more words, they all got into the car. Just as the vehicle pulled out of the rehabilitation center's entrance, Anna, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, saying, "Brother Jae-seok, please stop the car."
"What's wrong?" Jae-seok asked as he parked the car by the side of the road.
"Nothing, I forgot something. Please wait for me a moment; I'll be back soon," Anna said.
"Should I go with you?" Kwang-soo offered.
"No need, I'll be back quickly," Anna replied as she got out of the car.
Seeing Anna return, the director asked, "Miss Anna, what happened?"
Breathing heavily from running, Anna said, "Director, may I ask the name of the lady in Room 601 of Building B? Also, do you know what happened to her before she came here?"
The director thought carefully and replied, "That lady was sent here by Seoul Myungkwang Hospital. She was reportedly picked up as a homeless person at the subway station, but she can't speak and has never attempted to communicate with us in any other way. So far, we know nothing about her situation. However, the police are searching through missing persons reports; unfortunately, there is no effective information at this time."
"I see," Anna said.
"Miss Anna, why are you so curious about that lady?" the director asked in confusion.
Anna replied, "I just feel sorry for her and want to know what happened."
"Yes, it's indeed rare to see such a terrible situation," the director sighed. "I also want to know what happened to her, so I've spent a long time trying to communicate with her, but she hasn't responded at all."
"Has she always just sat there without any reaction?" Anna asked.
A caregiver responsible for that floor said, "Yes, no reaction at all. There was only one time I accidentally saw her crying, but when I asked her about it, she just closed her eyes and remained silent. I don't know why she was so agitated today; maybe it was because she saw a celebrity for the first time and lost control of her emotions."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work; I'll come back to check on her again. Goodbye," Anna said as she bowed to say farewell.
"Goodbye."
Back in the car, seeing the dazed Anna who had not brought anything back, Kwang-soo asked in confusion, "Did you not find anything? What was it? Was it important?"
"Yeah, Anna, what was it?" Yoo Jae-suk also expressed some concern.
Anna came to her senses, forcing a slight smile as she said, "It's nothing, just... a hairpin. I just bought it, so it's a bit of a pity."
"Oh, I thought it was something valuable," Kwang-soo replied.
Yoo Jae-suk started the car again and joked, "Since Kwang-soo is so rich, why don't you buy Anna a new one?"
"Come on, brother, where do I have money?" Kwang-soo laughed.
Miao PD also teased, "Kwang-soo's entire fortune could buy a hundred hairpins; he's practically the king of hairpins."
The atmosphere in the car became cheerful again. Although Anna felt heavy-hearted, she didn't want to affect the mood. How could she bring this up with others? Besides, there was still no evidence; perhaps that woman had just mistaken her for someone who harmed her... Although her smile felt somewhat forced, Anna still cooperated and said, "But I have short hair now, so I hardly use hairpins. So Brother Kwang-soo, the king of hairpins, has no authority at all."
Hearing this, Yoo Jae-suk and Miao PD burst into laughter. After a busy day and driving for quite a while, they finally arrived in the Seoul area. The car fell back into a calm silence; Miao PD and Kwang-soo leaned against the window and fell into a deep sleep while Yoo Jae-suk continued to drive quietly.
The streetlights had come on, casting warm yellow light that still couldn't warm the bleakness of Seoul's winter. Even through the glass, one could feel the chilling wind.
All she hoped for was that this winter would pass quickly.
