You Said Remember Me

Donghae had just finished moving a desk into the room and was now taking a 5 minute break sipping the cup of coffee he had made earlier. After searching the thrift shops for a cheap desk he finally found one he liked and had grabbed an early dinner before heading back to the summer house. Staying in Seoul didn't seem to be as bad as he thought it out to be and he was glad he'd made the sudden decision. He glanced at his watch to see that it was half past 1 in the morning.

"Well, I won't be able to get any sleep now after drinking this," Donghae said glancing at the cup of coffee he had in hand.

Just when he was about to get up from where he was sitting his phone began ringing. Staring at the unrecognized number he picked up the phone.

"Lee Donghae speaking."

The person didn't reply.

"Hello?" Donghae said.

"Uh...it's me Victoria."

He felt silence overcome him feeling slightly glad to have heard from her, "Is something wrong?"

"Um...I was just wondering if you are still up..."

"I haven't slept and I don't think I can after I drunk some coffee."

"I see...I was just wondering if it'd be alright for you to come to the hospital."

"I'll be there."

Assuming something must have happened that made her call he quickly grabbed his keys and was out the door. After parking his car he hurried in through the hospital doors. Unlike how it was so busy during the day it was nearly empty at night and only the hospital staffs walked around. He suddenly wondered if she was scared staying by herself.

Walking out of the elevator he quickly walked toward her room and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" he heard her voice.

"Donghae."

He heard some noise from inside then the door unlocked. She first glanced at him then let him into the room closing it behind him.

"Is there something wrong? I hadn't expected to hear from you," he said as she remained in front of the door.

She bit her bottom lip and glanced at the door behind her, "Someone tried to get in while I was sleeping."

Donghae frowned, "Did you inform the nurse? She might have seen the person."

Victoria shook her head.

"Ok, stay here. I'm going to go out and ask the nurse if she'd seen anyone." Donghae said and walked pass her.

Donghae found the nurse behind the desk looking for something behind a pile of papers.

"Excuse me," Donghae said.

The nurse turned around frightened, "Oh, you scared me. Visitor hours are over..."

Donghae dug into his pocket and held out his badge, "I'm here because a friend called me. She said someone tried to get into her room. Did you by any chance see anyone lingering around the hallways?"

The nurse looked around then turned back to him, "You're not trying to scare me are you?"

"Of course not," Donghae said then added, "if I were trying to scare you I'd use another method."

The nurse frowned, "I'm not sure. I was attending to a patient the past hour, so I don't know if anyone was around."

"I see." Donghae said then glanced around the dark hallways. "You should have more security around." With that he turned around and headed back into Victoria's room.
