Persona

CHAPTER IV: 4 a.m

I shot up immediately as I woke up from the nightmare that continued to hunt me down. I was sweating and my breaths was still uneven. The past where my mother died and I imprisoned my own father was something I really want to forget but, no matter what I do.... I still come back to it.

Checking my phone it was only 4 in the morning and my work doesn't start until 8. I got up from and went to the bathroom to freshen myself up because going back to sleep is the last thing I want to do right now.

Dressing decently, I went for a slight jog around the neighborhood and went to get some grocery. HaeNa is probably going to empty my stocks once she wakes up. Gathering different kinds of food that will last for I HOPE a week or more. After roaming around the supermarket a specific product then caught my eye.

"This was written in his record isn't? This is one of his favorite food." I got a pack of honey-butter chips and some butterfingers. "I hope he likes this" I smiled to myself thinking about what could be the reaction of my first patient to my little surprise. I really want to give him everything I can just for him to be better; and I'm definitely going to get him better. Putting the chips in my cart and went off to pay for the stuffs with a wide smile.

"You're up early" a yawning HaeNa came inside the kitchen. "You're even making breakfast"

"It's already 5:30 in the morning. I have work at 8" I rolled my eyes at her while setting some pancakes for the two of us.

"Are you ok with working with people in a ward?" Just by the look in her eyes I could say she was really worried. "I mean I know it's your dream and everything but, won't it just be reminding you of uncle?"

"I know" I sighed "but, if.... but if this is the only way for me to accept and understand why my father did that then so be it. I really want to let go of anything bad against him because I know he didn't mean to do that to her and I want to live without the weight on my shoulders. Besides, I find myself really happy at being able to understand people that are misunderstood by others."

"What if with you working on people like him... will only make you see him as something worst than how you look at him right now?"

"Believe me, nothing could be worst than how I do look at him right now" stuffing a big chunk of my nearly perfect pancake

"So, what is your first patient like?" She probably think it's the best to drop the topic earlier and attempted to get a new thing to talk about during our breakfast which Im really glad she did

'what is he like? What will he look like? Who is he in person? Will we be able to get along? ' these questions started to run like a bullet train just by the mention of my first patient.

"I don't know. I'm really looking forward to meeting him later"

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️

Holding onto my bag strap hard as I took a  deep breath as the ward was at sight. "This day finally came!" I smiled before going near the building

Going inside the ward, I was welcomed by the girl at the front desk and returned the greeting to her.

"Hey! Are you ready at your official first day?" MinAh clinged to me as soon as I entered the pantry room

"I am! I'm excited to be honest" my heart was beating fast and I can feel energy getting into my vains.

"You must be the newbie?" A girl with short hair and a short height with white skin and a calm beautiful face approached me

"Oh uhm yes I am" I smiled widely at her and even bowed as respect

"Nice to meet you. I heard Mr. Jeon handed you the VIP case? Well, goodluck working on that. I hope you can take it because I think a non-experienced psychiatrist can tho. " she just bluntly showed me that she already didn't like me from the tone of her voice to her choice of words and the change on her face that was now a bitchy one.

"Nice to meet you too" I put on my best fake smile just to look nice but to be honest I really didn't want to smile at her. "I'll work hard don't worry"

She just then look at me in a cold way and left. Rude

"She must be YoonJi?" I asked as soon as the metal door shut behind her.

"Sure is" MinAh responded and went to her desk. "This is the first time you met her and the tension between the two of you is too tight"

"Well, what can I say? She really doesn't like me" I went to mine to settle my things down and got the metal clipboard that held the information of my patient. "I'm off " I bid to her and she cheered me a goodluck before I went outside

    

   

This is it! I'm finally going to meet him!
