Capítulo 2: Chapter 1: Where are you, Amy?
I woke up feeling intense pain in my body. As I opened my eyes, I looked around and there were tubes and wires attached to my body, a medical equipment beeping, and a room reeking with medicine.
Where am I?
Wait… who am I?
I try so hard to remember, cracking my brain to my deepest thoughts but it was blank.
But I have this feeling inside me that there's a place where I should be.
Strange… I thought.
A Korean-looking lady wearing a white coat entered the room. She was mumbling something foreign which I do not understand. "You understand Korean?"
Staring at her blankly, she added, "Can you remember anything?"
She threw her hands up in the air as a sign of surrender. "Okay, it seems you can't remember anything. You are in South Korea, you were involved in a car accident a week ago, and according to your passport, your name is Amelie Jean Young. It's a good thing that we knew your name. Don't worry, your belongings are in safekeeping. However, we can't find your phone. We don't know who to contact."
"By the way, I'm Doctor Song Hye Jin. You don't have to worry though. My English is very good." She smiled gently. "I graduated in the US years ago."
I stared blankly at the ceiling as Dr. Song recalled what happened six days ago, explained my current health status, etcetera.
"Are you alright, dear?" Doctor Song comforted.
Everything started to dawn on me. I am in a foreign land. I don't know who I am. I don't even remember why I'm here. I can't contact my family and I don't even know where my family is. But why do I have a feeling that I need to meet someone? I need to meet him somewhere, but I can't even remember.
A warm liquid streamed down my face. This feeling is the worst.
"Can I have some time on my own, please?"
Dr. Song nodded in agreement and exited the room.
I cried and cried not knowing where this pain is coming from. As tears poured out, feeling of loneliness and longing echoes from my heart. With my memories gone, I don���t know what to do. I don't know where to go.

Troy.
After that night we spent together on the beach where we usually spend our dates with, she decided to run away with me. However, I have to go back here in Seoul immediately to attend some urgent family matters. I told her to wait for me until I return but she refused and insisted to go after me.
We both agreed to meet at a restaurant here in Seoul. She knew where it was for it was a special place for both of us when she stayed here for vacation when we were still in university.
I was supposed to propose to her that day, marry her so that no one could ever snatch her away from me. I am ready to take her home.
It's been six days. Six days. I waited for nothing.
She didn't even answer my calls or reply to my texts.
Where's the new life you're talking about, huh? Did you change your mind? Are you going to marry that man? What happened to your in-betweens, Amy? You're your words are empty shells.
"Dude, stop drinking. You've been reeking with alcohol for almost a week now." Jin-Jin interrupted my thoughts. "Don't tell me you're just going to waste your life because of a girl? Come on! You're not like this."
Jin-Jin tried to snatch the bottle of soju from my hand, "stop it, Noona."
"You think she'll come to you if you continue drinking?" what Jin-Jin is saying somehow makes some sense.
"Hyun Joo, have tried to call her?"
"Hmm."
"How about her family? Maybe she got caught by her family that's why she lost contact with you?" I silently listen to what my sister suggests.
I couldn't explain the loneliness and pain I felt from within. I know deep inside that if she was caught, they would certainly push through the marriage, leaving her with no choice.
Amy, where are you?
I scrolled down my phone's contacts and dialed the person who unquestionably knew where Amy might be or what she's up to.
"Hello, Alfred. It's me, Troy."
Alfred is Amy's elder brother and the only one in her family who knew our relationship. When we were still studying at Berkeley, he is the one who would cover Amy from her family. He is always Amy's protector and I consider him one of my best friends.
"D*mn you, Troy! Where's my sister?" I was greeted by his anger.
"What are you talking about, Al?" I'm also looking for your sister.
"Stop your denial as if you don't know what happened." He refuted. "Now, tell me. Where did you take my sister?"
"Al, I admit that we agreed to elope. But we did not meet me at our meeting place."
"Then where is she?! Troy, if something happens to my sister, you'll be held accountable. Do you understand?" I could imagine Alfred's protruding veins as he yells at me on the phone.
Amy, if you're not in America, where are you?
If you're in Seoul, why can't I find you?
