Mental | Jungkook

Chapter 31

-[ Y/Ns POV ]-

My first job doing the night shift was pretty fine, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I did feel a bit sleepy since I wasn't used to it but luckily I drank a few cups of coffee to keep me alerted at my surroundings.

~ two days later ~
I had a whole day off after the night shift, I was relieved at the fact I could rest for the whole day, but all I could keep on thinking about was him, how I was wrong about him and that he has a mental illness I shouldn't be surprised he acted this way.

These type of things happen to the patients, the hallucinations and madness.

I wondered who this Mia person was, was she perhaps his ex girlfriend? Who else would he hate that much.

I still remember the look in his eyes as he stared at me when his hands were wrapped around my neck... such sadness.. like he was in the need for help, it was a look I could never forget.

I've wondered why I even cared or thought about him so much but I guess it's because I felt pity for him, his backstory seems like it's sad. When he smiled at me his eyes still had that sadness trapped inside it like a bird in a cage desperate to be free.

I arrived early in the morning, I walked into the dressing room to change into my uniform, I had a high pony tail and powdered my face a little, nothing big, it's not like I have anyone to show off to.

When I finished getting ready I made my way to the door to start my day. As I walked out I bumped into a heavy body all of a sudden. I lifted my head up to see who it was since the person was taller than me.

"Suho...! I'm sorry for my clumsiness" I said while bowing to him and then walking away.

I felt a grip on my arm not allowing me to walk further.
"Are you not going to say good morning to me?" He tilted his head. I gave him a smile and rubbed my head
"good morning" I said and walked away once more.

"Tsk You're not going to hear me say it to you back? How cold" Suho muttered to himself.
Suho also works here, I never usually talk to him and so does he but lately he has been trying to interact with me more, which was quite surprising due to him always ignoring me when I would greet him.
Why the sudden change of heart?

I made my way to the halls, some patients gave me a smile which made my feel happy. "Miss Y/N!!" I heard a distant voice shout my name, I looked to where it was coming from and gave a big grin right after knowing who said it.

It was Taehyung waving his hands like crazy to me so I could noticed him, I laughed "Good morning Taehyung!" I waved at him back.

I realised Jungkook was standing next him, he was leaning his shoulder against a pillar with his arms crossed. He shot me a look and cracked a smile.

Taehyung and him continued to talk after that. Somehow I felt like today was going to be a good day!
Some more patients said good morning to me while I was walking proudly pass the hallway.

"Looks like people like you, this is great!" Jiyoung said as she walked up to me. "I hope you've got the hang to this place, the people here seem to have got the hang of you!" I nodded "yes I'm used to this place now! I feel like it's growing on me" Jiyoung clapped in excitement.

After lunch I walked to the crafting room, this place was for patients to keep their mind functioning and to use their imagination more such as drawing or adding glitter and glue to lollypop sticks.

They needed some colour in their life for happiness and to help them feel
calm and happy here.

The first patient I caught my eye on was painting a picture of a butterfly using different colours, I was astonished at the talent he had.

"that's beautiful!" I said while looking over his shoulder, he turned around to look who it was and gave a smile "thank you m'am" he said.

I frowned my face and puffed my cheeks "M'am? m'am makes me look old" I muttered, he laughed at my reaction. I laughed along with him.

Suddenly I hear someone shout my name "MISS Y/N! MISS Y/N!" I turned my head to see Taehyung once more waving at me, he was sitting next to jungkook.
