Between Heaven & Hell: A Ghost Doctor Kdrama Fan Fic

Chapter Two: A Dead Ghost

Seung Tak finished his report and headed up to the VIP wing to get a look at the patients. He went up to check if he could find anyone, he wasn't familiar with that could potentially be the dark entity. He was just shy of entering a room when he caught a glimpse of it standing in the middle of the hallway a few rooms down. Seung Tak was ready to confront it. Whoever it was—whatever it was, he wouldn't let it speak to the dead ghosts or the coma ghosts as it did. Upon Dr. Oh Tess's departure, Seung Tak took the responsibility of managing the spirits as he did. Tess had moved on because he was finally comfortable leaving Seung Tak now that he was unafraid of the hospital's ghosts. It was his job and duty to make sure he'd do what Dr. Oh would. It was another thing on his list of daily tasks that wore him down, but he was glad to have been trusted enough for Tess to get some much needed rest.

Seung Tak started down the hallway, making sure the dark entity knew he was coming for it when a Nurse called out for him, "Oh! Dr. Go! The lab just contacted the VIP nurses station asking if you are receiving their alerts. The Lab Tech wants to know if she should release the lab results to us?"

Seung Tak stopped, still keeping his eyes locked on the black shadow. "Oh, I'm sorry. No! I'll head down to get them." Seung Tak had to turn around to head back towards the elevator and away from the bad spirit. He didn't know for sure, but he assumed its body may be a VIP patient kept off the patient roster. He rushed down the hallway before the Nurse could continue. She looked at another nurse nearby, "What patient is Dr. Go taking care of on our floor?"

The other nurse shrugged and shook her head. "To my knowledge all of the patients have personal physicians. But...What report isn't automatically available for us to see electronically?" They both looked at each other suspiciously confused.

Seung Tak hurried down to the lab. He entered the room with machines clicking away. The head Lab Tech, Madam Lee, looked up from her microscope. "Ah! You finally made it! I hope your patient makes it, too!" Madam Lee unlocked her drawer to her private desk, took out the envelope and pushed it into Seung Tak's hands. She spoke quietly, but she couldn't hide the anger from showing up on her face, "What kind of doctor has a report locked away like this? What kind of patient is he to delay picking up a report? Do you even care about this person?"

Seung Tak looked around at the other lab technicians. She embarrassed the hell out of him on purpose. He held it in his hands, "I'm sorry. I had to finish an operation report."

"When have you ever failed to multi-task, Dr. Go?" Madam Lee smacked her lips. She was probably Seung Tak's age, but due to her drill sergeant demeanor and role as Lab supervisor, everyone called her Madam Lee. She was feared by many but respected. She continued past Seung Tak, heading back over to her microscope, getting back to work. "I only do things like this because you're the Chairman's grandson. But if you're going to be irresponsible when requesting a physical STAT paper result, I'm not going to prioritize anything for you! That report is important for helping your patient, isn't it! A patient shouldn't be treated like that! I don't care who you are!"

Madam Lee was right, she was made to think the worse of Seung Tak and shouldn't have had the woman run his own labs if he was going to be dishonest and delay receiving them. He always seemed to find his way into deep shit with people no cute smile could cure. For some reason, he wanted to clear the air with her, but more importantly there was something else on his mind. She'd probably make a comment to his grandfather or his mother given how gruff she was about his unprofessionalism. Seung Tak needed her to remain discreet, but he also had another motive for pulling her aside, "They're mine. The blood tests. They're for me, Madam Lee." He didn't want to open them. Deep down, Seung Tak confessed to Madam Lee because he wanted some sort of indication or warning as to how good or bad the results were. Could he put off opening them another day?
