Connection

Taehyung stares through the thick glass that separates the hallway and the cabin, where two guys are talking, one is hospital gown, and the other one looking worried.

"So..that's him?" Taehyung asks when he feels the doctor beside him, watching as well.

"Yes, that's him." Taehyung nodded, he was looking much more okay than he was in the cafeteria.

"He just looks like when he was falling apart .." Dr.Han nods, she can understand what Taehyung meant.

"Who's that?" Taehyung pointed at the other boy who was talking to the patient.

"That's his friend, he was living there until he had to move back with his parents." Taehyung nods, the black hair male on the other side is talking to the other one.

"Are you sure that he can see him? Are there any possibilities?" Taehyung asks, looking away from the glass to face the doctor.

"I don't know, but he admits that he sees him, feels his presence around him. Even I felt it too." Taehyung gives a small chuckle.

"Me too, I always feel like he right just there...like he always was..." Taehyung turns to her and smiles.

"I had to go, I have a train to catch." Dr.Han frowns a little.

"Where are you going?" Taehyung smiled, looking back at the glass, watching those two who were still talking.

"Busan, you know ..." Dr.Han looks at her feet, understanding what he meant.

"Give my respect as well. Have a safe trip." Taehyung turns to her, nodding his head.

"Can you please keep me updated about him?" Taehyung points at the glass window, Dr. Han turns to the window and then smiles at him, nodding her head.

"Sure." Taehyung smiles before walking away but stops and turns back to her.

"If you need me again, give me a call!" Dr.Han stared at Taehyung who waved at her before running to the lift that was closing. She turns back at the glass window, watching how are they talking like a normal friend duo.

"So, you have been taking your medicine regularly?" Jeongguk asks, his worried eyes staring at the male before him.

"They make me have them..." He answers, looking a little more pale than before.

"Hyung, you know you can't skip it.." Jeongguk holds the male's hands, giving small rubs on the white hands.

"I know, he says I have to live so that he doesn't have to come by much..." A mystery smile lingers on the pale male's face.

"Do ...do you still see him?" Jeongguk asks, his voice trembles when he mentions that person.

"Of course, his just there.." he turns and points at the window sill, Jeongguk's eyes slowly drift to the window but there's no one there.

"On the window sill, he said it's his favorite place to sit because he can see the people." The pale boy smiles at the window like someone is sitting there.

"Hyung.." Jeongguk was about to say but there was a knock which made him turn towards the door to see the doctor walking in, watching Jeongguk so scared the doctor cleared her voice to grab the patient's attention which he gave.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your time, but the visiting hour was over 10 minutes ago, but I gave you that time since you needed it." She smiles at them, Jeongguk quickly checks his phone and gets on his feet.

"Almost time for work, I lost track of time." He scratches the back of his head and laughs. He turns back to the pale male and pats his shoulder.

"I'll come by again." He says before turning to the doctor.

"Please take care of him." Dr.Han nodded and Jeongguk left, she sat down on the seat where Jeongguk was sitting and smiled at the patient.

"Hey, how are you today?" The patient stares at her before sighing.

"I don't know how I feel..it's weird." Dr.Han narrows her eyes at those words.

"How weird it is?" He turns to the window again and sighs.

"How can a guy sit so still without moving too much?" Dr.Han follows his gaze and stares at the window where he mentions a guy sitting but there's no one.

"Is he here?" She asks, looking back at the patient who nods.

"His sad, he cried today." He replied, his eyes fixed on the window, not turning to face the doctor.

"He cried? Why?" She asked again, trying to get it through him.

"He said ...he remembers something and cried ...I don't know what it is since he doesn't want to tell me." He replied, pointing at the window now.

"He said he doesn't want you to know as well." Dr Han turns to the window now and still, it's the same, but there was a new thing there.

Few drops of water...it's raining.

"Can you please lower my dose of medication?" He asked, now facing the doctor who flinched when she turned back to him.

"Uh..sure if things are good. I'll lower them." He nods before turning away from her and lying down.

"I should take my leave.." the doctor stood up and was ready to leave but she stopped when she heard a voice behind her...

Don't go snooping around, doctor.

Dr.Han climbed the short flight of stairs and entered through the big wooden doors, people were talking, clicking the sound of the keyboard and mouse, coffee machines being used and pen brushing over rough papers.

She inhaled before cutting through the ocean of people to see the lady who was looking bored and was available, luckily. She tapped on the table to catch the lady's attention who gave it quickly and gestured her to sit down.

"How can I help you, ma'am?" She asked, her words were uninterested and bored.

"Um...I'm here to see Detective Lee." She rolled her eyes at the doctor who found it rude.

"Which Lee? There's several Lee's." Dr.Han gulps before remembering the name.

"Um... Detective Lee Seonghyun?" She taps her beautifully painted nails on the table and stares at the doctor.

"You lost him a minute ago, he left for patrolling." Dr.Han's hope dropped and she 'oh'ed before getting up to her feet. But the lady makes her halt her movement by saying...

"But if you have time in your hand then you can catch him." Dr.Han sat down again, hoping to fill her eyes now.

"When he will.be back?" The lady looked a bit interested now, she sat up and smiled at the doctor.

"Detective Lee doesn't like patrolling, he does it to keep the chief off his ass." She chuckles before leaning back in her seat.

"He will be here in half an hour, you can either wait in his cabin or the lobby." Dr.Han smiled at the lady before getting ready to get up again.

"I'll wait at the lobby." With that, she walked to the left of this building and she saw few benches available to sit in.

As she was waiting, she felt like she needed a drink but there was only coffee available there and it was too late for coffee. Suddenly a bottle of water appears in front of her eyes as she blinks to make sure it is correct.

She looked up to see a bright smile, almost like a heart. An officer was holding a bottle of water in front of her, she thought that this might be Detective Lee but he looked younger than him.

"You looked like you need a drink, so here." He says as he pushes towards her and she gladly accepts it, before opening the cap, she bows to say 'thank you' before taking a sip, she sure needed that drink.

"You don't look like someone who lost anything or has been robbed of." He said, still smiling at her with such kindness.

"No, I am not. What a great observation uh..."

"Jung, Detective Jung Hoseok."
