I felt nothing.

Milky? Chanyeol? Miriam? Tony?

The possibilities rushed in, overwhelming my senses. I felt my breath stop and I slowly turned my head to face Kyung Soo.

"What happened Cher?" Kyung Soo inquired.

"I..." I started.

I quickly turned away, hiding my tear-streaked face from my boss. I saw the glittering streets and a curb glowed in my eyes.

"Can you drop me off right here? On the side of the street?" I asked, my voice not wavering.

"Why? I can drop you off home." Kyung Soo asked, puzzled.

"Just, please. I need to get dropped off right here and go somewhere."

"Not until you tell me what's going on."

"It's urgent and if I don't go soon, something's going to happen. Please let me go."

Kyung Soo warily stopped at the curb and I urgently opened the door. I stepped out, my heels colliding against the uneven concrete. I let out a cry but held myself steady.

"Thank you for the wonderful night. I hope we can become closer in the future." I tried to smile.

Before Kyung Soo could look at my face, I closed the car door and bolted to the nearest hospital to locate the unknown person.

After 10 minutes of aimlessly running, I gave up. I slid on the same curb, cupping my face with my hands. People gave me strange looks, my elegance long gone. I suddenly felt a pair of headlights strike my body and I turned away, trying to escape the flash.

I snuck my head in my folded arms further, wanting to hide. I heard the car door open and felt my arm being tugged upward. I stumbled up and stared at the dark chocolate eyes. My hot tears continued to fall, but I could only focus on the ice cold hands that wiped my tears away.

"I knew it..." I heard the gruff voice complain.

I finally got a closer look at the man's face and I gasped as I saw Kyung Soo's disappointed face.

"You should have told me if you're going through stuff like this. I worry about you a lot." Kyung Soo said, dragging me to his car.

He shoved me in the passenger seat and we angrily drove off.

"Where?" He muttered.

"Huh?" I asked, sniffling.

"Where do you want me to drop you off?"

"The hospital please..."

He grunted and sighed but we quietly drove to the main hospital with me quietly sniffling. He stopped the car at the patient drop-off and before I could step out on my own, the doors locked. I saw Kyung Soo rush out and open my door, opening a palm out for me. 

I gingerly gripped his hand and calmly thanked him, ignoring my racing heart. He gripped my hand firmly, and he whispered, "Please... Be safe. Unfortunately, I have some urgent business that I cannot miss. I'm already late so I will head off."

I nodded and stepped in, inhaling the smell of the hospital. The sickness waved over me but I confidently walked to the receptionist.

"Hello." The receptionist kindly asked.

"I was called down a couple hours ago. I was notified that I was needed here as soon as possible. My name is Cher Davis." My voice broke.

"Oh, you're finally here. We've been waiting. There should be a nurse coming here soon. Please wait for a minute." The nurse politely requested.
