Mayday [MarkSon]

Chapter 4

"Doctor wake up" I quickly looked up to who had broken my slumber.

"Your shift is over doctor" Youngjae reminded me. I rubbed the sleep off my eyes. I gave him a small smile. "yeah, thank you" I said, with that Youngjae left. I heave out a sigh and then started collecting my stuff to my small black satchel bag. I stood up, ready to go home.

Once I was outside. I was greeted by awoken patients. Some smiled at me, some did not. I headed my way out from the small hall, but my steps stopped when I face the hall that leads to that certain room.

Jackson's room

I gave it a glance but then made my way out of the hospital.

My eyes came contact with the bright burning sun. I blocked my thin fingers to cover my eyes, but that didn't do a good work. Once I called a taxi. It stopped in front of me.

With just 30 minutes of being outside the hospital. It pushed me back like a magnet as usual.

"Doctor! come quick the patients are fighting!"

I was already touching the taxi's door handle, but the burden of this hospital clawed to me as if bringing me back there. I sigh. I waved off the taxi driver and run inside the hospital again.

The call of commotion attract me. I run inside fast to the problem. Once I saw nurses trying to stop them, my eyes immediately scanned the two patients fighting, then their they are.

Jaebum and...."Doc! it's Jackson!" My eyes widen. I tried to squeez in myself to stop the two. Youngjae was there trying to stop Jaebum.

Before Jackson could land another punch with his bloody hands. I stood infront of him, eyes closed. "Jackson Stop!" I said. The punch didn't land on me. I open my eyes to see Jackson stormy one's. His face is full of blood. Eyes flesh purple and red. Lips swollen and busted. Fists scratched and bruised. His heavy breaths moving my fringes.

"Stop" I whispered. He looked at me with hate, but dropped his bloody hands in his side.

"Are you okay?" Youngjae quickly checked Jaebum. I looked at Jaebum with the same state as Jackson.
Youngjae almost releasing a whine, stopped when Jaebum said he was fine. "Take him to their wards" I ordered. The nurses move fast with my words. When I turned around to look at Jackson. He was already walking his way to his own room. A hit of pain came in my head. With the lack of sleep last night then this? I buried my head in my palms.

But I can't leave this place without solving this problem right?

My feet move its way to find some medicine and antiseptic to help the two patients. I walked inside the storage suprise to see Youngjae rummaging with the same things I need. "I will be at Jaebum's " He said and left me. I started to question Youngjae in my head but shrugged it off when I knew I need to check on Jackson.

My hands was filled with the first aid. But it seem that I'm slower when I'm going to his room. Jackson's room.

Once I came face to face with the door that has more guards than usual. I entered. The room was the same. Only this time more darker. I can still outline some things but I can't heal him in this darkness. I need light.

"What are you doing here?" A voice lace with rage said. Jackson was once again sitting at the edge of his bed. Looking at the covered window. My eyes roam for a light switch. Once it fell on my left I pressed it on.

"Turn it off"
"I need to clean you up"

I sat infront of him a little lower. Jackson's dark orbs landed on me. I put down my bag and put the meds in my lap.

"Give me your hands"
"No"
"Give it to me Jacskon" I said this time with slight irritation.cHe didn't move. I grabbed his wounded hands. He twitched, must have felt the pain but he still resisted. I still grabbed his hands. Jackson didn't fought when the pain was too much. I wet the cotton with alcohol, then started dabbing it in his knuckles.

The blood seep in the material causing it to be red. I did it too with the other bloody knuckles. Once that done. I reached in for the gauze pad and covered it. The silence of the room wasn't helping to light both of our moods from what happened. I finished at his hands, then tried to move at his face. He turned away.

"I'm fine just go"He said.
"I'm not done yet " I replied.

"I said I'm fine!" Jackson said in fury. I sigh. "You're not..Your face is wounded. It will-"

"Just stop"He cut in. Jackson is stubborn. I silently looked at him.

"Why did the two of you fight?" I ask strongly. His face frowned.

"Tell me Jackson" I said with a little bit of softness. "What happened?" I ask again. Jackson looked at me. "Im Jaebum...I didn't know he was here" Jackson muttered. My eyebrows furrowed. "You know him?" I ask.

"He was my bestfriend"

I looked at Jackson. "Then why did the two of you fight?" Jackson scoff.

"Fight? I defended myself." He said with anger. "What was the cause of the fight?" I ask. Jackson looked at me. "Jenny, his sister" Jackson said. With the new information, our eyes met.

"He was so angry. When he saw me. He is a short tempered man you know?" Jackson said smirking. "We never talked ever since I dated his sister. He didn't stopped me though" Jackson said. "That, until now that he might knew what happened to Jenny" Jackson smiled wickedly. "Their family is filled with liars and betrayers" Jackson spitted out.

I grabbed the cotton that is wet already with alcohol. I stood up quickly holding his cheek. Then dab it at his swollen lips. Jackson was bewildered by my actions.

"Jaebum isn't a betrayer. He is angry at you for doing that to his sister. Have you even wondered Jackson how a shallow thinker you are?" I said. While I clean his wounds.

Jackson just stared at me.With his dark stormy eyes that seem to hide something inside.
