The Veracity

5. Imagination

Yibo slowly closed the laptop when he noticed Zhan was asleep. He gently got down from the bed, making sure not to disturb Zhan.

"Is he asleep?" Gong jun asked once he came inside the room and glanced at Zhan.

"Yeah, he is."

"That's okay...I am just here to check his blood pressure and all."

"Go ahead."

"Hmm...everything seems to be normal.  

"That's great." Yibo said as he put the laptop back in his bag, "Give me the charts and all and tell me about his schedule I will take care of it."

"Yibo, there are nurses..."

"I know but please I want to take care of him and it's only for four to five days right?" 

Gong Jun nodded and tapped Yibo's shoulder, "you have to take care of yourself as well..."

Yibo glanced at Gong Jun and nodded, "I know."

Gong Jun looked at Zhan with an unreadable expression, "Yibo..."

"Yes..." Yibo said.

Gong Jun glanced at Zhan's sleeping face and then at Yibo who stood with  clenched fists staring at the floor, and then sighed, "Nothing."

After some time when Gong Jun was done and wrapped up his equipment and turned to Yibo and tapped his shoulder, "There is no turning back now if you are scared, nervous, or guilty it's of no use what's done is done from here on we can only move forward."

Yibo glanced at Gong Jun and slightly before looking at Zhan again.

When Zhan woke up next time he was alone in the room.

He didn't feel sleepy anymore, he just felt weak.

He was also bored of constantly lying on the bed and decided to get up and go out of the bed with difficulty, his head felt heavy but was still bearable he felt a little ache in his hand hand too but that was also bearable.

Fortunately his legs were okay without any injuries, he didn't feel any pain in his legs, and that gave him relief since he knew that he could walk now.

So he gently walked outside his room, it was quiet, eerily quiet outside just like how a hospital should be at night, but it was creepy.

After being in that room for so long Zhan felt a little stuffy so he thought that going to the rooftoop would be the best idea.

So he walked towards the rooftop and as soon as he reached the roooftop chilled air hit his face making him slightly shiver and relaxed.

The night sky was as usual dark. Zhan sat down on the floor and enjoyed this feeling of cold and loneliness.

But this didn't last long as he saw that there was someone else on the rooftop other than him, it seemed to be an old woman with short white hairs and she was standing near the railing looking down,

Zhan thought that this was weird because when he came here he didn't see anyone, and he didn't even here the door open, then how did this old lady came in? 

Was she here since the beginning? and Zhan didn't notice.

There seemed to be something wrong with this woman, that woman just stood there and stared down the railing, she wasn't affected by the cold air at all.

Zhan looked around as well but there ws no one so he stood up and tried to say something.

"Um...Miss...lady?...hello" Zhan said but there was no response.

That's weird since there is no one here this woman should reply but she didn't.

Zhan didn' like this there was something wrong he was sure of it.

And it was confirmed once the old woman actually climbed on the railing, which left Zhan stunned.

"Hello Miss? what are you doing? you..." Zhan quickly walked towards the woman but stopped and stared with horror once the woman turned and looked at him. She was indeed an old woman.

But a old woman with completely white eyes!  she had no pupils.

She looked extremly pale and her face was completely wrinkled, her mouth was agape and she had no teeth as well, it was a bizzare scene.

Zhan felt shivers run down his spines his legs were going weak as he stared at this...thing.

The woman then once again looked down and this jumped.

"Wait!!!"

"Zhan!!" Zhan looked back and saw Yibo standing there but he didn't pay attention to him much but quickly looked down from the rooftop and saw that there was no one.

"Zhan what the hell are you doing here?" Yibo sai as he grabbed Zhan's hand and shook him but Zhan was still looking down with horror. 

His breathing was heavy as he sat down on the floor.

Was this his imagination? was he hallucinating now?

"Yibo..."

"Yes." Yibo said.

"Did you saw an old woman here right now?"

"What are you talking about Zhan? there is only you? see no one else is here."

Zhan looked at Yibo with wide eyes and he felt even more nervous now, "You didn't see anyone standing here on the edge of the roof top?"

"Zhan I think you are tired? maybe it's because of the medicines you are imagining things we should go back." Yibo said and helped Zhan to stand.

In the end Zhan just dismissed this thought as his imagination and went with Yibo.

But before going back he just took back one last glance to see if he was really imagination but to his surprise he still saw that old woman on the roof and with the blink of an eyes she was gone.

Author's Note: Damn what do you guy's think? was that zhan's imagination?
