Lights.
Bright white lights blur Taehyung's sight when he opens his eyes, the beeping of a heart monitor and vague shadows startle him.
"Stay down, Kim."
A nurse with a soft but strong voice calls to him. Ringing ears and a pounding chest, a warmth spread over his body. Taehyung rubs his eyes, finally getting a clear view of his surroundings.
"There you are."
The slim-thick nurse smiles at him, handing the male a chocolate pudding and taps his head softly. A confused look could be read off of Taehyung's face.
"Infirmary? How did i end up here?"
The male reaches for his head, the ringing makes it feel like his brain is going to explode right this minute.
"Warden Jeon brought you in, he saved your life. You got a nasty wound there dear."
The nurse points at the location of his wound, a thick red-stained white bandage covering it. Taehyung sighs, placing his head back down on his pillow.
"You've been out a while, how's your head?"
Taehyung cocks an eyebrow. Has he been out so long that people turned nice now?
"Who are you?"
The male snarls in annoyance and disbelief, not meaning to be mean to the nurse.
"Someone who hopes to not see you in here again, you gave us all a bit of a fright."
She smiles again, a slight sparkle in her eye due to the white lights. Taehyung scoffs and smiles softly, not remembering a single thing from the incident apart from a few flashes.
"Now rest, some inmates would like to see you. If your headache clears up, tell me. You can get some yard-time."
The nurse turns around and walks away to her office.
Taehyung glances over to a nightstand next to the bed he's laying in, a white pill is waiting for him so it can fight his headache. The male leans over and props it in his mouth, taking a big sip of water and cringing at the taste.
"Disgusting."
Only now he sees a warden sitting in the corner of the room, watching every move he makes.
"Oh, hey. Are we having a tea party?"
The male smiles mockingly, reading the wardens expressions.
"No? Sad, would've loved some tea."
Taehyung shrugs his shoulders, takes a bite of his pudding and sighs contently at the sweet flavor.
"This shit's good."
The buzzing of an alarm indicates a warden swap. Taehyung flinches due to the loud sound, his headache still killing him but clearing up little by little. Taehyung glances down at the plastic cup in his hands, realizing that he ate all of his pudding already.
"That fucking sucks."
The male rolls his eyes, in the corner of his right eye he could spot two wardens, switching duties. The male couldn't care less though.
"Taehyung."
The male looks up, connecting eyes with warden Jeon.
"I heard you woke up."
Taehyung chuckles and cocks an eyebrow.
"Nah bro, i'm still sleeping."
The warden rolls his eyes and takes a step forward.
"How's your wound?"
He reaches forwards to try and see it, Taehyung's shirt covering the bandage partly.
"Oh sorry, that's not appropriate."
Taehyung smirks and looks at the male's eyes.
"You can touch me all you want, newbie."
