«Dr. Kim, Don't Fear Me» [K.n.j & K.s.j]

"Kim Seokjin? That's not possible." Yoongi stated, leaving the younger man dumbfounded.

"That patient was insane when he arrived at that hospital, or so I read online in some article. He's probably even dead by now." Namjoon rolled his eyes in disbelief, staring at the floor.

"Yoongi, do you honestly believe everything on the internet?"

"No. But you do." Yoongi responded with an off tone in his voice.

"I was searching through your computer and found this." He turned the screen towards Namjoon, revealing what he had been previously searching on the hospital.

"Old asylum? Malnutrition? Look, I know doctors like to discover things like remedies and give people advice... But Namjoon, what's all of this about?"

The man sighed deeply, thinking of what to reply to the older.

"I think it's time for you to go home, Yoongi." Yoongi stared at him with disappointment on his face. "You changed. Take care of yourself, man." He left the apartment and Namjoon closed his computer with a sigh of relief and frustration.

Maybe his friend was right. But he wasn't about to give up the amount of progress he had gained from Seokjin, he knows too much to just quit his job. Besides, his boss pays him a fair amount of money and he isn't stingy.

The rest of the night, Namjoon decided Yoongi was right and that he couldn't overdo things. But he still researched information on the previous patients in the hospital, and he ended up finding more than he had hoped for.

When he opened the page, it closed up so he had to reopen it, hoping that he wouldn't end up with a computer virus or something worse.

"Previous Patients: The untold truth about the Seoul Hospital." He clicked on the article and found pictures of the patients.

Most of them were so blurry, that he could tell they were from the late 90's or even 60's. That's how old the photos looked, not to mention the dates on them that might even be as old as his mother was when she had Namjoon.

"None of these people even look human. They look so deformed, creepy, even demonic. What did they do to them?" He thought, while scrolling down.

"Patient K. Seokjin. That's him!" No picture was available, unfortunately, so Namjoon didn't get to see what his face looked like without the mask, but he still read the article.

"Full name: Kim Seokjin.

Blood type: O.

Birth date: 12/4/????

Medical history: Suffers from MPD and sees visions at night.

This patient suffered from a Multiple Personality Disorder that was causing him to go insane with paranoia, and eventually, he became aggressive: physically and mentally, with everyone who went near him." That explains why they always described him as an aggressive person.

Namjoon dove deeper, but found no other information on him. He was beginning to feel like a stalker, but he knew he wasn't doing this to cause Seokjin any more harm than the pain he's exposed to day and night in that room they keep him locked in without seeing the light of day."

With all of this information, the man felt a distraught feeling in his stomach once again, and his head was beginning to hurt again. Before he got worse, he went to bed, shutting off every light in his house like he usually does.

He tossed, turned, switched his sleeping position, but nothing worked. His upset stomach turned into a burning sensation.

"Heartburn. That's what I get for eating so late." He thought. Namjoon relaxed himself as much as possible, relieving any stress on his mind until his eyes got so heavy that it sent him into, yet another, troublesome sleep.

-The next day-

"I can't keep doing this. My mind is at peace one night, then the next it's completely different. It's driving me insane!" He spoke to himself, ruffling his hair.

Later on after he ate breakfast and fixed himself up a little bit, Namjoon felt more motivated to be productive.

Besides, as a doctor, he had to keep up his saying: "A healthy life is the best life." not only for him, but for his patients as well.

The day was cloudy, very windy and kind of dark. Namjoon thought it was the perfect opportunity he had to finish seeing a haunted house documentary he started a week ago: but due to his busy schedule, he never got to finish watching it.

Namjoon might seem like a soft man on the outside to most people, but on the inside, he's into mystery and loves to watch ghost series or suspense movies. However, ever since he started having nightmares about Seokjin and the hospital, he stopped seeing those things. This day he felt confident and decided to give it a shot and watch a few scary movies.

"What's this?" He found something interesting while scrolling through the channels, drinking his coffee.

"Sharp and Deadly Love." Namjoon clicked on the information of the movie and began to read:

"In which a young man falls for a woman who's beauty was captivating. Little did he know that he fell for a dangerous vampire that has taken the lives of many innocent people in her past life. Can this man change the blood-sucking woman's soul and change her? Huh... It sounds good. I think I'll watch this and change into my suit later on to go a little late to the hospital. Besides, it's better when no one is around to ask me questions."

The man lay back on his couch, staring into his flat screen TV while the movie began.

"Wow, are Vampires that poetic? Haha, I think they'll make a nice couple if he keeps her a secret. Oh no, wait! Don't do that." He spoke to the screen as if the actors inside would reply.

"Fear me not, my love. For I have no intentions of hurting you. I just need your trust."

The movie ended on good terms and Namjoon found it interestingly good. The woman turned her lover into a vampire in the end and they eternally lived happily ever after and all, but what he loved about the movie the most was the couple's romance and the way they cared for each other.

It was getting darker out, so Namjoon thought this was probably a good time to leave before it started raining again. Right after he got in his car, rain started pouring down.

"It's 4:40 P.M. right now, and I'm getting ready for work. I'll tell you more about it in a minute."
