Part 2

Then finally, we arrived at the hospital.
The nurses took me to the examination room and
Looked for any injuries that's they might have missed.
"Looks like you have gotten some burns on your wrist, calf, thigh and chest that may lead to some scarring and an few cuts on your forearm. But overall, you don't have any life threatening or severe injuries or burns."
The doctor said.
"And also, don't scratch the burns just yet. Right now they're blisters.If you scratch them they can and will pop
Which can make the scars they'll leave, darker and more visible."
She added.
"So what do I do when they are itchy?"
I asked.
"You can either add some water and rub them. Or lightly pat them."
She replied.
"Ok. When will I be able to leave?"
I asked.
"You will be able to leave tomorrow afternoon. We just have to make sure that you are not going any further pain."
She replied.
"Ok, I understand."
I said.
"Thank you for your corporation. I'll be back later tonight to check up on you."
She thanked me.
I've never been thanked before.. It felt.. weird..
"Your welcome."
I said awkwardly.
The doctor left.
A few minutes after the doctor left.
One of the nurses said
"Ms. Haejun, you have a visitor."
"You can let them in."
I said.
There walks in a firefighter.
The same firefighter that was in the ambulance with me.
I felt a sense of comfort when he was here.
I knew and felt safe.
I knew he was the one that helped me get out the house.
I knew he did the most work when getting me out the house.
"Hey, I see you're better."
He said.
"Kind of. The burns get so itchy. Yet, I can't actually scratch them. It's so annoying."
I said annoyed.
"Sadly. It's how burns are.."
He replied.
"So.. why aren't you at station 43?"
I asked.
"I'm on break."
He replied.
"How do fire department shifts work..?"
I ask.
"Well. A firefighters shifts are 24 hours. Once those 24 hours are over we get our break which is 24hours long to. If we add another shift to that shift we will work 48 hours.
Once those 48 hours are done, we get 48 hours off work."
He replied.
"Oh.."
I was quite surprised.
"Do you get it at least a bit?"
He asked.
"Yea.. I get it."
I replied.
"Anyways. I got to go. I gotta take care of your cat."
He then said.
"You took the cat with you to your home..?"
I asked.
"Yea.. I could see how much you love the cat. I'm not the type of person to just sit there and ignore that."
He replied.
"Oh. Thank you!"
I said.
"No problem."
He said as he started walking out.
"I'll come back tomorrow."
He said before he left.
"Ok."
I replied.
The fact that he not only saved my life and came with me to the hospital. He took the time to take care of Zenshi, but also came to visit me.. is just really nice.
It's something that I've never experienced.
Not even my family would visit me in hospitals,
Plays, musicals, or just to see how I'm doing..
But, the gestures he's doing for me feel...
Genuine. It felt weird. But at the same time it felt good.
I hoped to see him everyday even when I'm not in the hospital, at plays, or musicals.
I want him to visit me whenever he can.
I want him to make me feel safe, loved, and cared for.
I want to see him whenever I pass by station 43..

AND CUT!
