Room 520 | ( chaesoo )

"The baby. I'll come to make you lose your baby, Kim Jisoo."

Jisoo sat up immediately, gasping as she clutched her chest. Cold sweat was dripping down her forehead, as her hands reached to feel the bedsheets beside her.

It was just a nightmare, she reminded herself. Her baby was still in her tummy, and no one was beside her.

The cold air touched her skin, making her flinch a little. Saying she was terrified was an understatement.

Slowly, she wrapped her arms around her knees and placed her head between her legs. Her body shook as she tried to shake off the image of the scene of the dirty deed from her ex husband, which she had never given consent to, feeling dirty and disgusted with herself.

Her hands were clutched into fists, her face pale as she struggled to breathe.

Near insanity, depression.

The raven stumbled into Room 520, still messed up from the nightmare she had the previous night. She walked quickly to Chaeyoung's side table, not sparing the blonde a glance.

Chaeyoung kept quiet, as her eyes observed every move of Jisoo's. "Doctor?" She said, making Jisoo look at her. As her eyes met the raven's, she knew instantly something bad had happened. "Did something happen? What happened?" She asked in the same gentle tone as she used before.

Jisoo's eyes couldn't look into Chaeyoung's. Her mess of a mind was currently in a whirlwind of thoughts, she couldn't focus on anything but the fact that she was absolutely terrified. "I-I..I-I'm fine." She stuttered out, trying to focus at Chaeyoung's file.

The blonde nodded. "If you say so." She said quietly, trying not to interfere in something that Jisoo clearly did not want to talk about.

"You're not going to question it?" Jisoo asked uncertainly, stopping her tracks as she tried to control her emotions.

Chaeyoung stared at Jisoo for three seconds. "I'm not going to interrogate you, princess. You can say whatever you want to me, I'll be here listening." She said softly. With her lawyer instincts, of course she knew something happened. A little more staring then she would know exactly what had happened. But she didn't want to seem nosy.

"I'm fine. Really, I am." Jisoo said again, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves.

"Okay. You're fine. Come sit." Chaeyoung agreed, patting the empty space next to her on her hospital bed. Jisoo hesitated a second, then walked over, settling down on the bed. "You know, it's okay to not be fine. Even when you want to be. Even when the whole world expects you to be." The blonde continued softly.

Jisoo flashed her a weak smile. "It seems like you discovered something. You know the truth, don't you?" She then turned her head to look at Chaeyoung, who was staring at the sky through the window. She sighed, following the action of the lawyer. "I...had a rough night. Nightmare." Jisoo explained in a small voice, deciding that it was pretty silly to get so worked up over such a babyish thing.

However, Chaeyoung didn't laugh, like Jisoo had expected her to. She just nodded again. "I figured." She said, turning her piercing gaze back onto the raven.

"Huh?" Jisoo said in confusion, making a soft smile appearing on Chaeyoung's features. Without answering her question, Chaeyoung placed her finger onto the skin just under Jisoo's eyes.

There were two dark circles, not too obvious but also not transparent enough to escape the lawyer's magnificent skill in noticing little details. A normal person definitely wouldn't be able to notice, though, as Jisoo herself didn't when she looked into the mirror just after she woke up in the morning.
