Memories Are Sometimes The Key To Figuring Out The Future

Monday, 3rd October 2016

Kyungsoo shuffled on his feet and stared at the array of colors before him, his eyes slowly raking over them as he carefully observed every single one of them. Scratching the back of his head, he slowly reached out and his fingertips grazed over the orange color. Grabbing it in his hand, he turned around and started to walk over to a man dressed in white reading a magazine with a bored expression permanently plastered on his features.

Stopping midway, his mind was going through the stack of colors behind him again and he groaned internally. Making up his mind, he turned back around, walked back to the stand and grabbed one of each of the colors present before walking back to the cashier who eyed him curiously when he dumped everything in his hands in front of the man.

“Your kid is gonna get diabetes at this rate,” the man said as he eyed the lollipops on the counter.

“It’s not for my kid,” Kyungsoo mumbled.

“For you?”

“For my patient.”

The man tore his gaze away from the lollipops and stared at the doe-eyed male. “So you’re a doctor?” the man asked and Kyungsoo nodded. “I thought doctors are supposed to save patients and not give them diabetes and kill them?”

“Can you please just get on with it?” Kyungsoo muttered, irritated. “I have to get to my patient.”

The man just gave him one long look before rolling his eyes and scanning the lollipops. Kyungsoo paid, mumbled out a polite ‘thank you’ and decided to walk to the hospital since it was only five minutes away, wondering whether Jongin would open up to him today or not after their discussion the previous week.

Jongin, what are you going to talk about with me today?

“Morning Kyungsoo!” Yifan greeted the short doctor and Kyungsoo looked up at the giant who walked to him with Tao right beside him. “You’re a bit late today, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, I was at a convenience store near the hospital and I decided to walk to the hospital and I was so lost in my thoughts that I missed the road.” Kyungsoo said sheepishly and then looked at Tao who was looking at him with a smile on his face. “You’re… allowed outside your room?”

“As long as Fanfan is with me, yes,” Tao smiled.

Kyungsoo had to bite his lip to prevent himself from laughing out loud at the nickname. Although having heard it before, it still managed to make him smile. “Are you allowed outside the hospital? Or to only wander inside here?”

“They place a tracker on me if I am to go outside, and even then I need to go with him,” Tao replied as he gave a pointed look at Yifan.

“I see,” Kyungsoo said and looked at Yifan. “Is any patient allowed to go outside? Like, any patient in this hospital?”

“You need to get permission from Joonmyeon and even he also needs to talk to some other people and get permission from them before that is possible. If they are patients with minor criminal activities, usually getting permission from Joonmyeon is enough, but at times he needs to talk to the higher ups.” Yifan replied.

“I see.”

“If it’s someone like Jongin, he will need to ask the higher ups, and even then he needs to show enough proof that the patient is cooperating with the assigned Psychiatrist and the Psychiatrist will be solely responsible for the patient outside the hospital. Although measures are taken in order to reduce the risk of… unwanted incidents occurring,” Yifan continued to explain, having read Kyungsoo’s mind perfectly well.
