After running to Chaewon's direction once you heard that knock coming from your back.

Your body just move on its own and approach Chaewon for a hug which she reciprocated without realizing it.

Heck, Chaewon's scared with that too. It freaks out the hell out of her and she knows she's not the only one.

" Why are you hugging me ? " Chaewon asked.

" Why are you on my bed ? " You returned a question.

Both of you were surprised by the loud knock.

The lights are out and it's like night already yet  you and Chaewon are awake, alive and squealing because of scareness.

" Actually " Chaewon started ready to admit her crime.

You looked at her.

" I was the one knocking on your door a while ago but this time, it's not me " She confessed before biting her bottom lip, she was just trying to scare you but why is she scared as well ?

" You what ?! "

Chaewon flinched with your voice. She's literally just beside you yet you're shouting. " I am near, stop shouting " She found a time to scold you when you remained quiet.

You were legit panicking a while ago but just only to find out it was Chaewon's doing.

" Get out of my bed " You pushed Chaewon away. She saw you weak and afraid of nothing. You're embarrassed.

Chaewon gulped, she don't know why would she but for some reason she suddenly felt a little scared.

The tone of your voice goes deep. She thinks that maybe she really go overboard about it.

Just why would she mess around with someone who have a mental illness. It was a stupid decision of her.

" Im leaving " Chaewon move out of the bed.

She don't think she can last long inside your room or else by tomorrow morning. A rumor are spreading around the hospital about her getting murdered by a patient for playing around with her.

Even if you can't see if Chaewon's really standing, you felt her move and the weight on your other side felt light.

You didn't think twice to pulled the fellow back to your side, causing Chaewon's eyes to widened in shocked after realizing she's back at your bed.

" You're staying in this room whether you like it or not " She heard you said. " Take responsibility of what you did, annoying "

Even if you wants to be mad over the prank she did, you can't bear to be alone tonight, not when it's blackout, not when you find out that knock was coming from someone or worse from a ghost.

" Make me sleep, sing me a song or just stay beside me " That was a lot of option but Chaewon could pick one.

The only option she have is left you alone here, forced herself to get out of your bed and run towards your door and reach the exit and leave the building and just return by tomorrow morning.

" How about I just knock you unconscious ? " Chaewon suggested, that's way more easier and faster than the options you said.

You scoffed and snuggle close to her which Chaewon felt. But since it's dark both of you have no idea that your faces are only inch away from each others.

Chaewon was the first one who realized it.

She can feel your breath hitting her lips, so she can tell that your head are a little low on hers.

She frozen up.

" How about I knock you unconscious so I could make you stay " Such an unbelievable idea of yours.

Chaewon laugh sarcastically. " Haha very funny "

" Just pick on the first options I said or well if you preferred being unconscious then I will knock you out with much more respect " You continued.

She rolled her eyes.

A while ago both of you are scared as hell and now you are bickering with each other, again for this day.

" If I fall off your bed, I'll bring you with me " Chaewon sighed.

She have no other choices though, it's either pick on the first option or let you knock her out and she hopes she better not wake up on the floor.

Just why are the lights are talking to long to light back.

" Don't worry I'll push you off the bed before you could fall " It was supposed to be a joke but you're suddenly thinking of doing it.

Chaewon once again scoffed before moving her head and her body backwards. She could feel your body hitting her skin.

It's only your third or fourth meeting, both of you barley talked and if you did it always ended up with an argue and bicker.

Chaewon didn't signed up for this, Her job is to check and take care of the patients not to sleep with them in one bed.

But well she's asking herself is it part of her job ? Does her parents did the same to the other patients.

To her shocked without her asking the question on her mind you answered it without having any idea.

" Your parents never did the same like what you're doing now, they would always sat on the bench near my bed and wait for me to fall asleep " You started.

You have no reason to opened it to her, but you just find yourself starting to talk about the difference on how her parents treats you and on how she treats you.

The only difference is Chaewon is getting into your nerves.

" Do they hummed you a song ? " Chaewon asked, the tone of her voice was change into a soft one.

She wonders if her parents are doing the same to you.

Her Mom and Dad would always hummed or sing a song for her whenever she's having a hard time to sleep back then when she was a child.

But now that they're gone, she wouldn't be able to hear them sing a song for her, she wouldn't able to hear their voices again.
