⌜ forty six ⌟

it's just a book, it won't hurt you.

❝are you excited to finally get out of here?❞ the nurse asked as she was busy calculating the iv drops for the patient. while doing so, she began a conversation with him.

taeyong has honestly grown attached to the nurses here for the past week, and he admired how the nurses and even staffs would try to talk to him in every opportunity they can. ❝i still have to stay here for a month or two, depends on how fast i'll recover after the surgery.❞

the nurse gave him a look, smiling moments after as she took the tray she had with her, seeing that she was done with her hourly check up with the patient she was assigned with. however, she still hasn't left only because she wanted to admire the male's strength to hold on. one of the many things she loved working for the patient is seeing them have hope and will in their eyes.

❝has anyone told you how strong and brave you are?❞ she then asked, staying for a while just to talk to the patient.

humming, taeyong was caught off guard with that question, but it didn't take him long to have a smile formed on his face as someone appeared inside his head that keeps on encouraging him and reminding him about how strong his bubu is.

❝yeah,❞ he said, playing with his fingers as he stared out of no where while having this person in mind. ❝he told me to always keep that in mind even when he's not around.❞

❝whoever that person is, he must be so important that he got you to smile like that.❞ she then told him, also admitting that the patient has one beautiful smile.

❝please, i love him so much.❞ and almost everyone in this floor— or at least the people that's in charge of him are aware of this certain someone. changing the topic, taeyong then said, ❝noona, it's already late, shouldn't you take a rest first? i bet you've been roaming around since this morning.❞

❝yong, it's my job, and this is also what makes me happy, seeing you guys happy.❞ the nurse then lifted her free hand and lightly pinched the patient's cheeks. ❝rest well, okay? we'll just come to your room, soon, to get you.❞

❝thank you, noona.❞ taeyong let out a chuckle at how he is being treating like a son here, like how they always give him coloring books to spend his time alone.

making her way to the door, she paused midway just to tease the patient about something. ❝by the way, don't think you'll escape from doctor kang's scolding, lee taeyong. you were caught, by the surveillance cameras, running around the hallways last friday night with your boyfriend.❞
