An Idol's Misery - Wen Junhui fanfiction

3

My eyes burst open and I look around the bright, white room quickly.

An alarm clock on the nightstand beside me reads the time '2:30 am'.

I appear to be on a hospital bed but there are no machines and no nurses in my room. Sitting up from my bed, I notice a button on the nightstand. "Please ring bell for assistance". Pushing the button, a bell rings outside my room and soon, a nurse opens the door.

'Oh, Miss, you're awake. How can I help you?' The young nurse asks, smiling an obviously fake smile.

'Where is my friend?! I need to see her!' I impatiently ask her.

'Your friend Miss...' The nurse takes a pause and checks a clipboard under her arm. 'Kate Hathaway?'

'Yes! where is she?! Is she okay?'

'Well, she is alive but she is not conscious and has just had major surgery on her shoulder.'

'Can I see her... please?'

'While you have already been examined and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong apart from a few stitches and bruises, we might need to keep you in here for a few more hours. Would you like me to ask a doctor?' The nurse huffed as she looked down at the clipboard and talked.

'Yes, please.'

'Okay.' And with that, the nurse stepped out of the room and a few minutes later, a doctor peered his head in the door.

'Hello. I'm doctor Baekhyun. I'm sure you want to get out of here as quickly as possible to see your friend but please just give me a moment to check you over.' The handsome doctor stepped into the room properly so I could see him and his physical appearance took me by surprise.

He was a tall man with a dark, lush head of hair and deep brown eyes. He wore his doctor's uniform neatly and seemed to know exactly what he was doing. 'Doctor Baekhyun, I have an audition at Pledis entertainment in about nine hours. Do you think I could get out of here before then?' He took a minute or two to check over the clipboard at the end of my bed then looked up at me with a blank expression.

'Well, looking at this, I'd say we can let you out now. I will show you to Kate's room if you'd like. I assume you want to see her.' Doctor Baekhyun smiles and opens the door. I get up and stand in front of him and bow at a 90 degree angle.

'Doctor, thank you so much.' a smile spread across my face but only for a moment as I was reminded of the condition that Kate was in at this very moment.

'It's quite alright. Come with me, if you will, Miss.' He steps out of my room and almost drags his feet along the floor. It seems he was just as anxious for me to see Kate as I was. 

After a few moments of silence with only the sounds surrounding us and the sound of our footsteps, the doctor had stopped by a grey door with a small window and looked in. 'I want you to take a deep breath and prepare to see your friend.'

I looked at doctor Baekhyun and nodded as he talked. I wasn't ready but I was about as close to it as I was going to get. 

'Okay.' In my best attempt to sound confident, I tried to say it loud and with a smile but failed miserably. He put his hand on my shoulder and slowly pushed open the door.

Tears fell to the floor as I looked at her.
