Chapter 77 – Chapter 77
Space that is not very large.
Books and plaques filling one wall, and a table and monitor placed in the center of the room next to them, sat an old man wearing a white coat.
The doctor in charge of Eun-ah.
The doctor shifted his gaze from the monitor until the day before yesterday and greeted Eun-ah.
“Welcome. Go Eun-ah It’s only been a month, right?”
“Yes…”
Do-gyun, who faced the doctor head-on because of Eun-ah hesitantly hiding behind him at the greeting handed over, greeted him with an awkward smile.
“Uh… How are you?”
“Nice to meet you.”
Do-gyun, who was watching the doctor answer with a gentle smile as if he had a tired impression, was thinking about how to continue this awkward situation, but the doctor spoke first.
“Then would you like to sit over here?”
Saying so, he followed the doctor’s instructions and pointed to a chair on the other side of the table. When Jararo sat down, the doctor continued the conversation, asking Eun-ah, who had been bowing her head until the day before, to ask how she was doing.
How have you been, did you have any uncomfortable places, did you take your medicine well?
At first glance, the conversation seems to be one-sided.
Is she really a doctor? Even though Eun-ah was answering her question with only a nod of her head, the doctor, who kept a smile on her face, finished the conversation with her before she knew it and nodded her head with a smile on her face.
“The passage is very good. Maybe you can cut down on your medication a little this time.”
At those words, Eun-ah’s expression brightened a little for the first time since entering this clinic.
“Yes…”
Nodding his head and replying.
Then, assuming that the conversation was over, she raised her body and spoke to Do-gyun gently while pulling on his collar.
“Hey, let’s go…”
“Ah…”
As Do-gyun watched him talk to me while recovering his bright appearance little by little, he felt trouble rising.
‘Okay…’
If you go out like this, your private relationship with the doctor is over.
A situation where you have to somehow get her out first and hear about her how to deal with Go Eun-chae, even briefly.
While contemplating how to persuade her with her words, her doctor spoke to Do-gyun.
“Ah, the guardian, would you mind staying for a while? I have something else to tell you.”
As Do-gyun and Eun-ah’s heads turned to the doctor’s side at once, the doctor added a calm smile on his tired face.
“I have a few questions for you. Go Eun-ah, will you wait outside for a while?”
“I’m sorry…!”
When the doctor looked at Eun-ah and asked her a question, she trembled and looked at me with anxious eyes.
The grip on her collar was getting stronger, and her bitten lips were bleaching white from lack of blood flow.
In response, Do-gyun raised her body, gently stroked Eun-ah’s cheek, and spoke her words to her with a smile on his face.
“Will you wait outside for a bit? I’ll finish it quickly and go. I am getting hungry.”
When Do-gyun, who found a breakthrough in the unexpected support fire, said that in a friendly voice, Eun-ah, who had been in pain with a groan, grabbed her arm and nodded her head.
“Ba, quickly… Promise…”
Do-gyun, who drew her smile again at Eun-ah’s words whispering in her ear as she lifted her tiptoe, nodded her head, and after staring at him for a moment, she slowly walked out of her clinic.
The door of the clinic was closed, and while Do-gyun was looking at the door of the closed clinic, the doctor spoke to Do-gyun.
“You’re really good friends.”
Flinch.
Do-gyun shuddered and turned his head in the direction of the doctor.
Do-gyun, who confirmed the doctor who was looking at me with a smile, felt a sense of embarrassment at the embarrassing behavior up until just before.
“Haha…”
When he let out such an awkward smile, the doctor who had been sitting in the chair until the day before stood up and approached Do-gyun and shook his hand.
“I heard a lot about Go Eun-seol. Nice to meet you.”
Have you already been in contact?
‘I’ll tell you something.’
After thinking about how to deal with him alone, Do-kyun felt dejected for a moment, then Do-gyun answered the doctor’s words by holding his hand in the hand that was handed to him.
“I am Cha Do-gyun.”
“I am a commendation ceremony. As you can see, Go Eun-ah’s doctor.”
Saying that, Do-gyun looked at the doctor, Chang-shik, who smiled again.
“To be honest, I was very surprised. I never thought that Eunah Go could be so close to anyone.”
Is it gossip time? Thinking so, I looked at the doctor, and the doctor smiled and added an explanation.
“I just wanted to say that she wasn’t that good.”
Do-gyun’s head nodded slightly at the doctor’s words.
Certainly, when we first met her, she was so dangerous that anyone could tell that she was insane.
“Well, since you’ve heard the story, can I go straight to the point?”
Do-gyun looked at the doctor with a question. I was worried about Eun-ah outside.
Even so, since I entered the hospital, I’ve only kept a dark expression. It’s uncomfortable to be left alone, so I’m asking questions like that.
“Oh, good. Go Eun-ah will be waiting for you.”
A positive answer came back.
Do-gyun nodded his head again and asked him the question he had been thinking about beforehand.
“You heard about Go Eun-chae. Do you have any idea how to move?”
Separation was proceeding steadily, so as long as we could cope with the moment when Goeunchae popped out, the rest was not a problem.
However, the problem is that I don’t know how that mad bitch who is in a hurry will come out.
Thinking so, she asked a question, and the doctor moved her steps and returned to her seat to answer the question.
“Well… I don’t know about that. Dissociative Identity Disorder is such a rare condition that there are no clear guidelines. I only know the policy of how to behave through the past cases.”
Saying I don’t know is very embarrassing.
As Do-kyun narrowed his brows while thinking about that, the doctor who saw him raised a gentle smile on his face again and said,
“So, I think it would be good to tell you the characteristics of her that I have seen over the past time.”
Her words then popped out about a few facts that her doctor, who had been watching her for a long time, had found out.
“Um, first… The story about the trigger that makes Eunchae go out…”
As he said that, Do-gyun spit out what he knew and continued.
“When things happened that she couldn’t handle herself, when things happened that she didn’t want to. Is that correct?”
The role of Go Eun-chae.
Handling the situation that violates Eun-ah’s delusion.
When I talked to him, the doctor gave him a small nod and answered.
“Like. Now that you know this far, the next story will be comfortable.”
Then, the doctor, sitting in the chair again, looked at Do-gyun and continued his explanation with a hardened face.
“Go Eun-chae is a personality that is not completely separated from Go Eun-ah. If I had to use an analogy… It’s like two sides of a coin. As such, it is difficult to capture the moment when Go Eun-ah turns into Go Eun-chae unless you observe closely.”
It was a known fact.
As I nodded with that thought in mind, the doctor’s words continued.
“When a personality is replaced, the first thing that stands out is the facial expression. Ko Eun-chae has a strong sociopathic tendency. The ability to relate emotionally is extremely low, and there is no ability to cope with emotions according to the situation. So, if you observe carefully, there are moments when you can feel it.”
I thought I knew what the doctor meant.
The moment Ko Eun-chae is revealed on the surface of the water, the expression on her face disappears.
His sunken eyes stand out, and no matter what expression he makes, there is an awkward aura as if he is imitating something.
“If you’ve come this far, the replacement is already halfway through, and if you look at the situation before that… Yes. Ko Eun-chae wants to devour her Mr. Ko Eun-ah. So sometimes she refers to herself as ‘Eun-ah’. When a replacement starts or when the personality fights for leadership, that part stands out even more.”
“Ah.”
“Do you have anything in mind?”
There was.
The first moment she opened her eyes in that house.
-Because I’m still not well… Eun-ah will take care of me…
Plus, on her first day she feigned illness on her to get herself out of her room.
-Ah, if it hurts, Eun-ah hurts too…
Was that a foreshadowing?
Certainly, it was a characteristic that stood out the moment the ups and downs of emotions were not controlled.
After Do-gyun finished his thoughts, he nodded, and the doctor who was looking at him continued to speak.
“Go Eun-chae is a very dangerous personality. Even apart from her impulsiveness, her motivation to occupy her body is too dangerous.”
Because she doesn’t understand having to share a body with another personality.
“Go Eun-chae takes it for granted that she is the owner of her body. She is not Eunah Ko, she is the owner of that body. She really thinks so.”
Knowing the facts, let’s confirm him one more time.
Kwak-.
The fist resting on his lap was clenched.
As I was looking at the doctor with such tension, the doctor then suggested Do-gyun a way to remove the goeunchae.
“In order to completely remove Ko Eun-chae, we have to make Go Eun-ah acknowledge the existence of Ko Eun-chae.”
How to get rid of it.
Do-gyun, who heard him, tilted his head at the contradiction he felt in his words, then opened his mouth and let out a growing question.
“What do you mean? Isn’t it more dangerous to inform Eun-ah about other personalities?”
The moment the gap between delusion and reality occurs, Ko Eun-chae pops out. In other words, it becomes the moment when Go Eun-chae is needed.
Thinking so, I asked a question, and the doctor nodded and gave the answer.
“Yes. That’s why I have high expectations for Mr. Do-gyun.”
“Me?”
When Do-gyun suddenly raised a question in response to the words defending me, the doctor smiled and gave an answer.
“To treat dissociative identity disorder, the first thing to do is to communicate with the patient. I failed at that.”
As the doctor said, Eun-ah did not hide her dislike of this hospital and that doctor.
“That’s why Do-gyun is needed. Go Eun-ah seems to like Do-gyun very much.”
“Well…”
Hearing it from someone else’s mouth made me feel a little embarrassed, so when I stood there hesitantly, the doctor burst into a wild laugh and spoke again.
“If you can be happy without delusion, if Mr. Do-gyun can replace Go Eun-chae, then it is not difficult to admit that Go Eun-chae is no longer needed.”
In the end, it was a story no different from what Eunseol had explained to me in the first place.
“Please make Eun-ah Go happy.”
Please make it so she doesn’t hurt anymore.
Realizing this, Do-gyun felt the question he had always had in his mind resurfaced.
What was she like, what did one of her readers mean to her, why did she cling to me like this?
Why did I take on such an important role?
Thinking of such a question, Do-gyun, who soon shook off his thoughts, looked at the doctor, and the doctor continued.
“Once you take it away from Go Eun-ah, it is easy to delete.”
“Yeah?”
“Didn’t Go Eun-seol tell you? The control Eunseol Ko has over the other personalities is absolute. Right now, it’s a situation where Ko Eun-chae has taken away a little, but that moment is over when you get back what you stole. There is no way she could avoid it otherwise than Eunchae Go.”
I did tell you If you take off the goeunchae, you can take care of the rest yourself.
However.
‘To that extent?’
Do-gyun felt an amazing feeling again.
It hadn’t occurred to him that it was such a powerful authority.
As Do-gyun looked at the doctor with his lips parting in surprise, the doctor burst into a small laugh and put an end to his words.
“Go out now. Go Eun-ah will be waiting for you.”
Words that urge you to leave.
Do-gyun, who was trying to ask him questions about him, had many things he hadn’t asked yet.
“Ah, I…”
When he said that, the doctor smiled and cut off Do-gyun.
“I can’t give away the patient’s personal information, no matter how close I am. Can you understand this?”
“Ah…”
Head nodded Even if you asked something more than this, it was impossible to answer from the doctor’s point of view.
When Do-gyun finished his judgment, he got up from his seat and bowed his head to the doctor. The doctor greeted him and added a word.
“Please take care of me.”
Words please.
Do-gyun nodded and walked out of the clinic.
