"Can we continue my case in court already? I wanna leave this place now, now," I begged Jay.

"I already sent in your health records to them so they'll respond soon," he simply replied.

We were at the main hall in the mental institution where every mental patient would gather. It was crazy here. An old man was seen talking to a wall in front of him while a lady was constantly combing her hair since an hour ago and some other guys were making howling noises.

I was frustrated so I rubbed my fingers on my temples in annoyance. As I looked up, I saw familiar figures standing a distance away from me. I squinted my eyes to get a better look at them and when I did, I froze in utter shock.

My friends- they are here!

"Jay, Jay! Look! My friends are here!" I exclaimed excitedly, pointing towards their direction.

Jay turned around, looking here and there to see where I was pointing at. He then looked back at me with a confused look.

"I don't see who you're pointing at," Jay uttered.

"What do you mean? They are there. Right there," I asserted, pointing again.

Jay turned to look but was still unable to see who I was pointing to. He turned back at me and sensed that something was a little--odd.

"You say your friends are here?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Ah, I see. Give me a minute," Jay continued before leaving me in the main room.

I cocked my head to a side as I watched him leave, feeling confused.

Where is he going?

"Doctor, Jimin said he saw 'his friends'," I uttered as soon as I entered Dr Lee's office.

He was at his desk looking through some papers when I entered. He looked up to me, lowering his glasses before letting out a chuckle.

"Of course... He's crazy, remember?" He smirked before placing down the papers he was holding.

I just stayed silent.

"Now, you'll know what to tell the judge tomorrow," Dr Lee continued.

"I guess so," I said with a nod.

With that, I left his office. As I went back to the main hall, I saw Jimin at a corner in his wheelchair. I watched him closely and realised he was talking--talking to the wall.

Wow, I guess he's really crazy.

I brushed away my thoughts and headed to him. He turned to me with a smile when he saw me coming.

"Jay, Jay! Guess what?" Jimin asked as I approached him.

He seemed cheerful.

Weird.

"What is it?" I asked, looking down to him.

He pulled me down by my arm and leaned near my ear.

"My time is almost up," he whispered.

I pulled back immediately. Jimin then started laughing so loudly while I stood in front of him, confused. His laughter echoed throughout the main hall, attracting attention from other mental patients as they looked to the two of us.

"Jimin, stop. Step out of it!" I exclaimed, shaking his shoulders vigorously.

However, he did not abide and continued laughing hysterically. I slowly backed away from him.

"Annyeong!" He waved his hand at me.

On his face was a huge smile, a smile that I found too unhuman. He was still waving and laughing so I took this chance to escape. I ran off and out of the mental institution.

How am I suppose to face him tomorrow?
