Sighing deeply as she scan her new I.d on the scanner, she approach the door of the said patients room where her secretary told her she needed to check. She slowly twisted the knob as she take a peek inside.


" Hello ? " She waited for the patients response, but she didn't receive anything only a tiny snore.

A very tiny snore as if who's inside is a tiny person.


Chaewon step her foot on the cold white floor. She felt uncomfortable, and she hopes the first person who'll she check in her first day won't be a hard headed one.

Her eyes looked around the room. It's big enough for two people, she thought it wouldn't be this wide since when she saw it from outside they look small on her eyes but it's different as soon as she enter to one.






She gazes down on the bed and saw a girl wearing white pajamas, while facing her back at her.

The girl must be sleeping.

Chaewon tried to approach the sleeping girl very slowly and quietly, because once the girl wokes up.

She will put herself into a trouble.

The tiny snores she's wearing from the girl became loud to her ears until she realized it isn't a snore.

It's more of someone trying to cry quietly.

The snores was turned into a sobs when She's finally standing 1 inch  distance from her. She take a peak to the girl's face, she is sleeping and crying at the same time.







Chaewon let out a quiet sigh, and fetch the seringe out of her coats pocket that was given to her by her secretary. She was told to inject it at the girl.

It's a seringe that contains a Rezorem liquid that could help a patient to fall asleep without a problem.







Chaewon carefully lower her body and grab the girls wrist.

And when the girl let out a whined she was startled that she fall her butt on the floor.

She quickly take a look at the girl, and a relieved sigh comes out from her mouth when she saw her still sleeping.

She's still not getting the hang of her job.

Because now she felt like she's robbing someone's house moving carefully and quietly afraid to get caught by the owner.







She stand slowly and lower her knees, she grab the girls right wrist once again and when she found a perfect time to do what she was told to do.

She opened the seringe, and pierced the thin long object on her skin as soon as she found the right place where to pierced it.

The girl let out a quiet sob, she might be sleeping but she can feel the object, it hurts but for someone who's sleeping she won't feel the real pain of it.

And when the liquid placed on the tube is already empty and gone.

Chaewon carefully pulled the seringe out, she placed the girls hand back on its position carefully.

The cries she keeps hearing soon changed into a quiet one. The girl is finally calm and that means Chaewon successfully did her first job for today.

She didn't waste a time and left the room, ofcourse not forgetting to lock it.




Lots of questions about the hospital are bugging her mind.

If it's a psychiatric hospital. Why won't they let their patients freely walk around ? instead of locking them in the room and wait for the time where they could leave it.

She have lots of questions but she decided to slip it for now, just for now.

She's still not ready to know everything about the hospital at her first day, she still need to make her self comfortable around before she'll find out everything.



Chaewon walk through the hallway where she came from.

The hallway is pure silent and it's giving her goosebumps all over her body.

" This doesn't seems like a hospital " She murmured at herself.









The silence around her was changed into a loud one when a bell suddenly ring and echoed around the hospital.

Chaewon checked the time on her watch only to find out that it's already dinner time. She was too busy understanding everything that she didn't noticed time pass quickly.

It's already eight o'clock in the evening, it's time for the patients to eat dinner so are the workers in the own cafeteria of the hospital.


Chaewon continued walking while ignoring the patients passing by at her direction.

They can freely walk around now, but there are still nurses guarding them, some of the workers greeted their new boss and Chaewon could only give them a nod since she's still not use of it.





" Boss Kim " Someone called her name, and the voice is familiar to Chaewon's ears. She's the only person she talk with at her first day.

Chaewon stopped walking and face her back where the voice came from.

" The cafeteria is in this way, aren't you going to eat ? " Garam, Her Secretary asks her.

" Oh " She pretend clueless. " Im not in the mood, but can you bring some in my office ? "

Garam nodded her head without hesitation. " Sure, I'll bring it there "

Chaewon gave her a small smile before facing her back at her secretary and started walking again, so did Garam but on her way to the cafeteria.








Chaewon didn't dare to go back at her office. She have different plans for today during break time.

She entered the elevator and push the highest button of the floor and when the elevator's door opened, she step her foot out and fetch out a card on her pocket.

It's a card where all the pincodes are written based on what room and door it is









The door infront of her opened right after she enter the right pincode, and as soon as she felt the fresh air hitting her body.

She once again let out a sigh, she needs the air she's feeling right now, but the time she wonders her eyes around.

She saw a unfamiliar figure of a girl sitting on one of the benches, by the clothes she's wearing she can tell it's one of the patients in here.

And she wonders what is she doing in the rooftop ?
