one: the very first nightmare

her purposeful strides was what made her stand out in a crowd. her luscious hair that was perfectly healthy and in length. her puppy like facial features that made her seem soft and fragile. her petite build which added to the adorableness of her image. she had small eyes that transformed into thin crescents whenever she smiled. she had piercing eyes of brown, each which showed a different story. her soul was very much visible in her eyes. the shade was hard to describe, flickers of pale grey creeping in around the edges.

had she no dimples but a beautiful smile that could both cure and kill the world. her contagious smile that lights up the whole world, igniting life into everything. the energy, the passion, she was gorgeous. that smile she very often showed was her presence, the proof of her loving heart. her captivating self was pretty much acknowledged by every other colleague at the hospital.

behind her were three interns, all with hopes and dreams of becoming a good psychologist. jisoo held the chart board with a firm grip in her arms as she led them towards a patient. there was a lady, about 30+ years in age but with ageless beauty. her skin was flawless and her smile was everything. she was sitting beside the window, her small hands placed in position as if there was a baby. she rocked her arms side to side, whispering as she did so.

"hey, mina. how are you doing?" jisoo ticked off a few boxes on her board and took a stand beside the bed.

mina stifled a laugh. "i'm doing well." she spoke. "the baby is good too." she looked at the empty space between her arms, shaking her head as she cutely giggled.

the interns behind jisoo exchanged weird looks and rolled their lips back as they contained in their laughter. jisoo was soon joined by other senior doctors in the ward.

"how long is she going to be like this?!" mina's husband exploded into fury. his eyes balls of red as the wrinkles on his forehead folded multiple times. he was angry but he was more upset, his wife has been hallucinating his dead son for the past few weeks.

"sir, shh." jisoo silenced him and with hesitation his lips sealed. "she'll be fine. she needs your support and right now you're not helping!" she whisper shouted at him and he stormed off in a fit.

mina who was unaware of her surroundings smiled at the few doctors who crowded her room. "say hi to my baby." she told the doctors.

and in unison, their lips curved upwards into a smile as they waved at the baby. "hello!"

jisoo walked away and towards the receptionist office. "why do we have to say hello to an imaginary baby?" one of the interns spoke. jisoo bit her lip harshly, trying her hardest to not lash out at him.

she turned around, shooting him a glare as cold as ice. "we are psychologists. our job is to think like the patients. in order to help them we have to understand them." she said through gritted teeth and hit him on the head with the clipboard. "that is the basics. if you ever want to make it as a doctor, then i suggest you be real. and laughing-" she hit each of their heads with a powerful force. "doesn't exactly help does it?"

she dismissed them with one wave of the hand and they helplessly scurried off into the corner. she released a stressful sigh as she massaged the bridge of her nose.

"not enough sleep?" chaeyoung walked passed her.

"there's never enough." jisoo replied as they sauntered opposite ways.

chaeyoung was her best friend, her sister almost. she had a glowing presence and had her own individual charm that people loved. unlike jisoo, she was very calm and outgoing, her personality was the complete opposite of jisoo's but somehow they clicked well with each other. chaeyoung often dyed her hair luminous colours on multiple occasions, but now it was currently an indescribable shade of orange and brown. it was the splitting image of the perfect sunset in paris. her hair was longer than jisoo's so she always kept it in a high pony tail to prevent it from sticking annoyingly to her face.

chaeyoung was made of gold. jisoo often wondered how she made it as a doctor because she gets too attached too easily. it was one of her strengths in particular situations but also one of her greatest weakness. chaeyoung lived with jisoo in a share house alongside another boy called jimin. jisoo was a psychologist, one of the best, most respected doctor in the psychological field.

despite her young age, she managed to make it as both a psychologist and psychiatrist, but she focuses more on talking with the patient before prescribing any medicine. on the other hand, chaeyoung is a paediatrician, who specialises in medical conditions affecting infants, children and young people.

she met her interns again, slacking off with their feet on the table. they wore frightful expressions when they got caught and with all caution they slowly put their feet down and stood in a line in front of jisoo.

"how disrespectful, don't show your faces in front of me again!" she slammed her palm against the table with vigorous strength. checking the watch on her wrist, the time read 6pm. "i'm off duty now, you know what you have to do." she tutted and strolled to her office.

she hung up her white coat on the peg and logged off of her computer. under her white coat she was wearing a beige coloured turtle neck and a pair of black jeans. jeans weren't necessarily allowed but her supervisor had a small thing for her so she occasionally took advantage of it. she put on her black trench coat and slipped both arms through the straps of her backpack.

as she exited the premises, she received a phone call from jimin.

"hello?" she spoke into the phone.

"hey, it's jimin." he answered. "can you come pick me up. i finished work and i'm too tired to walk."

"you lazy bum." she chuckled as she pressed her key to unlock her car. "i'm on my way. wait for me." she ended the call and made her way to the ice cream parlour where jimin worked.

a/n - hi!
