"You have to get the stitches removed in four days, keep the wound clean. Your finger will have to remain in this cast for the time being, please come for a check-up in six weeks. You can make the appointment with the nurse up front. You may only put partial weight on your foot. It will be difficult with a crutch, but always try to roll your foot forward from the verse. Other than that, you need to take your medications, three times a day, after every meal."

Mark nodded.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you."

"You can pick up your medication at the front desk. Get well soon."

The doctor left the room, leaving Mark and James alone.

It was three days since the attack and Mark could finally leave today.

Vee was at work so Mark didn't even bother calling him.

"Are you ready ?" James asked and helped Mark to stand up.

They slowly walked to the front, where Mark sat down again while James picked up the medications.

Mark was deep in thoughts.

He didn't knew why but he was nervous sitting here all alone.

"Are you alright?" James suddenly asked.

"James ! You scared me."

The friend raised his eyebrow.

"Come on, I parked near the entrance so you don't have to walk far."

James once again helped Mark up but Mark motioned him that he's fine.

"You do remember how you have to take your medications, right ?"

"Yes. I promise you I listened to the doctor."

"Good. Wait, I'll open the door for you."

Mark smiled at his friend.

They always helped each other but Mark never took that for granted.

He knew that he has wonderful friends and he was always thankful for them, no matter what.

"Does your mom know what happened?" James asked once they sat in his car.

"No, and I don't want her to find out."

"Mark you know that your parents could easily take care of it."

"I don't want them to."

"Okay fine, I get that. Really ! But have you thought about it ? What if they won't stop ? I don't want you to get hurt again. And I also don't want Vee to get hurt."

>Maybe he's right..< Mark thought but didn't answer the other one.

"I'm just saying Mark.. If you let your parents take care of this it will be over in the blink of an eye. Otherwise I'm really worried about your safety."

"Okay I get it ! I'll think about it."

"Promise ?"

"Promise. Now can we please change the subject?"

"Okay.. Oh, Yihwa has her first ultrasound next week. I think on monday."

"Really ?"

"Yeah, Tee will accompany her. He even invited her out on a date."

"Wow.. She didn't tell me."

"Yeah, she wanted to but thought the timing would be pretty bad."

"I see.." Mark said.

Both boys didn't really knew what to say.

James tried to smalltalk but Mark wasn't really paying attention.
