Continuing from last chapter:

He faced away from me, as I watched his eyes well up.

"I won't let her do this. I promise." I said, stuffing the tablets into my pocket.

I stayed for a few more minutes til he slept, then I took my leave.

...

18|Shadows

I left the room, making sure to lock the door.

I fiddled with my fingers as I walked down to the reception counter.

Lisa ran up to me.

"Unnie!"

"Sorry Lisa yah, did you wait long?"

"No its fine! Let's go eat. I'm sooooo hungryyyy...."

"Arrasso(okay) let's go!" I said, as a bright smile shone on Lisa's face.

We decided to go to the mall nearby for some shabu shabu.

We took a short walk to the mall and walked around.

"Oh my God unnie! Its a claw machine! The pororo toy is so cute! Can we try it? I really want that pororo plushie~" Lisa was doing aegyo again.

Well, I needed a real break from all those prescriptions and medicinary...

"Arrasso," I said as I paid at the counter to get some tokens.

"I'll go first." Lisa said.

I watched her play, and as usual, those sneaky claw machines were a scam. She couldn't win, but was so close.

She ended up using almost all the tokens, while I just enjoyed her reactions while she played.

"Unnie! There's one more token, you try. I bet you can't get it either." she said.

"Is that a challenge?" I asked, as I smirked playfully, cracking my knuckles.

She mocked me, sticking her tongue out.

I scoffed and inserted the token.

I precisely positioned the joystick and played carefully.

I waited until the position was right.

I inhaled deeply.

I clicked the 'grab' button.

As I did, I didn't dare to look, so I closed my eyes.

"Unnie unnie!! You're doing it! You grabbed it!" Lisa was jumping up and down, as the claw pulled the toy up and brought it to the dispenser.

I was shocked. My mouth was agape.

"I did it?" I asked, as both Lisa and I started jumping and throwing our hands in the air like little kids.

"Pororo!!!!!" Lisa was hugging the huge plushie tightly.

...

We then walked around, played a little more, and had a really heavy lunch.

"I'm stuffed." Lisa said, patting her stomach.

"Me too,"

"Let's go back."

"I need to get back to the hospital. Got some things to attend to."

I was clearly referring to Jimin shii... Now that my mind is clear, I could think of a way to.....save him.

We slowly walked back to the hospital, as I waved goodbye to Lisa.

I entered and tapped my card.

Somin shii wasn't at the counter.

There was definitely something off about her. And I was really crossing my fingers hoping she wasn't part of this mess.

I sneaked into the hall without signing in.

I tried to go under cover, in hopes to find some clues and evidence about my speculations, since I had to confirm them for myself..... And help Jimin shii.

I slipped into the lift and went to level 5, to check on unit 5.

As I exited, I saw Somin shii at the pharmaceutical section.

I hid behind a counter so she couldn't notice me.

I peeked at what she was doing.

As I did I started to frown.

She was picking out antibiotics.

Immediately, that made a link with Ah Rah unnie, or should I just address her as Ah Rah shii.  (Drop of informality)

She turned toward my direction.

I quickly hid from her sight, and sneaked into the hallway of units.

On the way, I saw the laundry box and grabbed a clean coat and wore it.

It was my colleague's. Well I sure hope she didn't mind.

I walked to unit 5's door, and as I did, something was amiss.

The door was open slightly, just enough to see through.

I recalled myself locking the door securely.

There was only one other person....

I quickly rushed to the small crack to peep through.

I saw Jimin shii crouched in a corner.

Then, a black shadow hovered in front of him, hands crossed.

It was Ah Rah shii.

She was saying something to him, and..... It was hurting him, I could tell.

I couldn't make out what she was saying,  but for sure, I heard the word 'fire' many times.

I pushed the door a little further to get a clearer view.

She walked to the side.

I was watching Jimin shii.

He looked scared, lonely, helpless.

The look in his eyes, was not that of a psychological traumatised patient.

It was fear.

If I was ever going to treat him, I was to be aware of his purpose of killing his victims.

Not the lies that he repeats. It not for pleasure, or fun.

He has a motive. If not, he wouldn't be scared now.

As its for a fact, Psychopaths do not feel real emotions.

But he's different.

Suddenly the figure walked in front of him again, slapping him with some kind of tool.

Jimin shii didn't ecen flinch as she hit him hard.

He was holding in his pain.

I was almost about to slam the door open when....

Someone tapped my shoulder.

As I saw the person's face, my expression froze.

Shit.
