Hospital

As usual, Chaeyoung was the earliest one to wake up in the Blackpink residence.

Completely dressed in uniform after a shower, Chaeyoung went to kitchen to prepare breakfast for her members; her usual routine. She's always complaining about how it's always her job, but she does it anyway.

After Chaeyoung finishes her slice of toast, Jisoo came into the kitchen with sleepy eyes, pouting as if someone disturbed her beauty sleep.

"Good morning unnie." Chaeyoung chuckled at the cute sight.

"Good morning." Jisoo yawned, taking a seat in front of the younger girl.

She took a bite of the toast, as Chaeyoung sipped her coffee to the last drop and stood up.

"You're going already?" Jisoo asked.

"Mhm."

"Okay. Have fun at work."

Chaeyoung walks down the white corridor of the hospital, sounds of her flat shoes accompanied by greetings towards the staffs and the patients.

She enters the ward room, walking straight to a bed situated by the window.

"Chaeyoung unnie!" A little girl in her small hospital gown called, grinning widely.

"Hi Sooyeon-ah, how are you feeling?" She smiled back at the girl, and greeted Sooyeon's parents that were sitting on her bedside.

"Neh unnie, I'm feeling better now" the 6 year-old child cheered.

Chaeyoung smiled warmly.

"How's her condition, nurse?" Sooyeon's mother asked with a worried face.

"She's doing well for now. Don't worry, her dengue fever is gone now, I think the doctor will let her discharge soon." Chaeyoung replied to the lady.

The kid looked confused. "Eomma? What does discharge mean?"

"It means you'll be released from the hospital, honey. Isn't that great?" The father answered.

The little girl frowned. "Eh? Then will I be able to see unnie again?" She turned to face Chaeyoung.

"Unfortunately no, sweetheart. Unnie has lots of works to do, she's very busy, you know?" Her mom bended her knees, getting on eye level with her daughter.

"Then I don't wanna leave!"

"Sooyeon-ah.."

Chaeyoung smiled lovingly to Sooyeon. "It's fine, Sooyeon-ah. If It's fated, unnie will surely come see you again in the future."

She pats Sooyeon's head, who was still pouting.

"Besides, if you miss me, you can see me on tv" She winked. Sooyeon slowly broke into a smile, nodding.

"It must be hard for you, working as a nurse and a singer at the same time." Sooyeon's father said.

"Ani, Mr. Kim. I'm really enjoying this, eventhough it gets tiring at some points. I really want to do this, it's my dream since a child after all." Chaeyoung replied with a smile.

"Gurae, you're very hardworking, Chaeyoung-ssi. I wish Sooyeon will grow up to be just like you, beautiful and smart." Mrs. Kim smiled.

"Eh, but I don't want her to be a singer." Mr. Kim said.

"Aish, old man."

They shared a laugh. Chaeyoung was pleased to see a happy family like that. It makes her miss her hometown.
