The story is about a woman named Luna. She has her own battles to fight but decided to face them head-on with the help of her friends. However, there were circumstances which made her choose to stay or walk away. What will she choose?
Thirty minutes more before the scheduled operation.
My anxiety was growing and eating me up. There was an abrupt need to calm my nerves.
"Oh God, if this is my time, please forgive me in what I have done and in what I have failed to do as your daughter. I have sinned in my own thoughts, words and actions. I lift everything up to You." If I would die today, I want it to be peaceful. Melancholic thoughts were clouding my head.
"Hi, Ms. Luna." A pixie-hair type woman in white interrupted my thoughts. "My name is Hannah. I will be the nurse in-charge for your operation. Doctor Min will be here shortly." The lady in white professionally said. "First we need to insert your IV." She extended her hand. "Please give me the hand which is commonly used to extract your blood." She added. I reluctantly gave my left hand.
"Are you nervous?"
"Yes." I whispered.
"Don't worry it's only like a bite of an ant." She said while finding my vein.
With wide eyes, I abruptly gulped and hurriedly I looked at the other side of the room. My heart was pounding and my hands were sweating. "Just relaxed." She commented. I breathed heavily. Every moment passed by was like a living hell. I suddenly felt the coldness in the room. I shudder.
"Okay, I will insert the needle. At the count of three, please breathe deeply and hold." Her voice was full of warning.
I felt the needle under my skin. "Ow." I cried.
"Just relax." She reminded me.
I shiver as she started to push and pull the needle into my vein. Trying in vain to insert the needle correctly. I trembled a lot and slowly curving into a ball. I could feel my vein popped as I smelled the blood which made me dizzier. "Oh no it popped. Its because your vein is too thin. Let me try the other vein."
What the hell. I silently close my eyes and cry in pain as I try to stabilize my breathing.
"Stop." I heard a gentle voice cried out loud. "Can't you see she's in pain?"
"Doctor Min, I was trying to insert an IV in her vein."
"You already saw her vein is too small. Why are you using a normal size needle?"
"I'm sorry doctor."
"Get me the purple injection."
I did not bother to look. All I know was my angel was there and he would take away the pain.
"Do you have difficulty in breathing?" His gentle voice was so soothing like caressing my soul. "She's too pale." He commented when I didn't respond. I could feel that he was genuinely worried about me.
He carried me and I could smell his sweet perfume. Like a miracle, the dizziness was slowly fading away. He placed me in the middle of the new bed and elevated my legs. "Go get ammonia." He instructed.
When the nurse hastily went back with a cotton slightly soaked with ammonia, Doctor Min rashly grabbed it and put it in front of my nose. "Smell this."
His handsome face was so anxious. I couldn't help but to giggle. His brow was forming a v shape on his face. I absent-mindedly touched it. "It's soft."
Then I saw his gummy-smile. "You're beautiful when you smile. I like it."
"Doctor Min Yoongi stop flirting with your patient."
"Aish! You will never let it pass don't you?" he scratched his neck while looking at me.
"I love your hairstyle. You look more matured with your beard though." He let me hold the cotton ball.
"What? Matured? No way." He complained as he put bandages on my open wound. Even though he was smiling, I knew deep down he was annoyed. Ever since we were kids he doesn't like it whenever I had bruises or wounds or falling ill. He usually worried a lot even if you couldn't see it on his face.
"It's ok. I'm fine. Slightly hurt but totally fine now." I held his hand after he finished putting on the badge. He smiled and it warmed me up inside.
"I will be the one to put on the IV so you won't get hurt anymore." He caressed my head. Is he flirting with me again? This guy is on a whole new level now.
He put the injection with ease and efficiently. I didn't feel any pain and I didn't even know it was all done. This is expected from Mr. Genius. My heart rate came back to normal and the operation commenced.
