(cover) Night like these [Shim Soo Ryeon x Logan Lee]

Chapter 4: Those eyes

"Logan?" Soo Ryeon mumbled panicked. "Logan!" She screeched running to the stretcher.

"Soo Ryeon, we have to take him to surgery." The chief said stepping in front of her so she couldn't get any closer.

"Oh my god, Logan. Is he going to be okay?" She felt the tears leak down her face rapidly and the chief looked down sadly.

"I don't know. We'll find out when we get him in surgery."

"I'll scrub in." She said quickly but he stopped her.

"Soo Ryeon, you can't. Your in no state to be performing surgery." He said and she sighed looking at Logan terrified. After a minute of silence he heard her soft voice echo.

"I didn't even get to tell him I loved him back." She muttered to herself and he looked at her sadly.

"I'm sorry Soo Ryeon, really."

"But I need to know he's okay. I just..I cant sit here not knowing."

"We'll try to inform you as much as we can." Soo Ryeon's heart wrenched as she watched him leave. She felt someone pull her tightly into a hug. She gripped at Yoon Hee's back having no control over the tears that were falling from her eyes.

"He'll be okay." She whispered, feeling tears of her own roll down her cheeks.

"Okay gentlemen." The chief said to the other doctors in the OR. "Now there's a girl crying her eyes out over this man, and were going to do everything we can to make sure he comes out of this alive. Understand?"

They all nodded scared of their chief. He thought of Soo Ryeon as a daughter, and Logan as a friend, and he was going to get Logan out of here alive if it killed him himself.

Soo Ryeon was sitting in the same chair that she's been sitting in for over an hour. She felt as if she's been sitting there for days. She felt alone, isolated and scared. She hated that feeling. Her once silent tears began to pick up pace as the thought of Logan holding her when ever she was scared popped into her mind. Whether it was because of a scary movie, or a bad dream, whether she was scared for a patient or for her loved ones, he was always there. He was always there holding her and whispering to her that everything would be alright, and she found it ironic and cruel that the time, when she was more scared then she's ever been before, he wasn't there.

Suddenly she felt a soft hand on her shoulder and looked up to see one of the nurses looking at her with sad eyes. Soo Ryeon didn't even try to smile, she just turned her head back to the white walls and the nurse walked away. As she glanced around the waiting room, she saw everyone there, everyone feeling the way she was. A woman crying and holding her children, a man rubbing his temples while his eyes were glossed over, and all of her colleagues looking at her with concern and whispering to their friends. She suddenly didn't want to sit there anymore. She couldn't sit there anymore.

"Soo Ryeon?" Yoon Hee called worriedly watching her run by.

Soo Ryeon burst through the locker room door forcefully sinking to the floor as soon as she was away from all eyes. She couldn't take it. All the sympathetic smiles that people were giving her, looking at her as if they knew what she was going through. They had no idea. Logan-her Logan might…she put her head down on her knees not able to finish the thought. He promised, he promised he would be okay.

"Poor Soo Ryeon." A nurse muttered to her friend.

Seo Jin felt her eyes narrow.

"I know how she's feeling. We had to put my dog down last month." The nurse shook her head. "It's a terrible feeling."

"Are you listening to them?" Seo Jin asked Yoon Hee unbelievingly. "They know absolutely nothing about how she's feeling."

"Oh I know. But you'd think she'd be used to it. She works in a hospital. She's around death all the time." The other nurse replied. That was enough to make Seo Jin explode.
