Ward after ward Taehyung passed.
"Patient 3012!" The nurse called after him as he wheeled himself from door to door. "Please, don't go so fast- Please, you really shouldn't even be doing this at all-"
"Leave me alone, noona, please-" Taehyung kept going, refusing to stop until he found the person he was looking for. "I know what I'm doing-"
"No, you do not-" The nurse chased after Taehyung, trying to grab hold of his wheelchair. "Sir, I'm begging you-"
Stopped by the nurse, Taehyung rose from his seat and continued on foot.
"Jisoo-ya..." Taehyung whispered under his breath as he peered into every door in the corridor he was in. "Kim Jisoo, where the hell are you..."
Taehyung was filled with regret.
It was unbelievable, on hindsight, to think that all this while that he knew Jisoo... he hadn't even gone to see her a single time. Instead, she was the one who was always looking for him. She said that love couldn't be hidden, just like a cough... and her actions really lived up to that definition. And as for him... he couldn't say the same.
"Sir! Patient 3012!" The nurse called after him in the background. "Please cooperate with me! If you really need to move around, please let me push you instead-"
Then why? Why couldn't she just tell him the truth? Taehyung would be able to accept anything she said, as long as she could stay by his side... But instead, she ran from him. She ran and disappeared for a whole week, as if hiding from him.
And now Taehyung regretted, because he now had absolutely no way of finding her.
"Sir!" The nurse hurried after him, wheeling the wheelchair along. "Your body is weak, you shouldn't be overexerting it this much-"
Taehyung stopped in his tracks abruptly in front of a door, causing the nurse to jam-break at once.
"Good thinking, sir-" The nurse steered the wheelchair behind Taehyung, waiting for him to finally take a seat. "I know that staying in the room may be suffocating sometimes, shall I take you for a quick breather in the garden downstairs?"
But Taehyung wasn't paying attention to her at all, as he stared blankly into the small window he stood in front of - the one that led to one of the wards.
"Sir...?"
Taehyung just froze there, and just stared... and stared.
"Excuse me, sir...?" The nurse frowned as she took a step forward, peering into the room as well. "Why do you look so shocked? What are you looking at?"
Inside the room, Jisoo lay on the bed, completely unconscious, with an ECG strapped to her left arm.
"Sir...? Patient 3012?" The nurse snapped her fingers in front of Taehyung's face, trying to snap him out of his daze. "Shall I take you down to the garden now? Or may I escort you back to your ward?"
