My light died out
What seems like an eternity ago
But you brought me the sun
And the stars and the moon
And opened a new universe
In front of my starstruck eyes

     The box is lighter than I'd expected. My mind wanders as the elevator ascends to Floor 7.

    This man hasn't talked since he was admitted here...  Could it be because no one can speak his language..? No wait, Regina was from Korea... Could it be a sort of PTSD? Or maybe he was afraid to speak...

     The elevator doors pinged and let me out. My feet padded softly to the correct door. As soon as I scanned my key and walked into the door, I gagged.

     The smell was awful.

     My eyes traveled to the outer reaches of the room to see Seokjin cowering in a pool of urine and vomit.

     I run over and yell ,"Kim Seokjin!"

     He shakes harder and covers his head. I drop the box and my clipboard so that I can grab his sopping wet arm. His straight jacket is a mix of colors: brown, yellow, green.

     He resists as I pull him over to the door of his room, screaming, ki and king, and punching. We go further down the hallway to the bathing area- a large room with smaller rooms inside that have bath tubs or showers.

     I get Jin into one and he plops onto the floor, silently crying.

     "Hey," I softly speak in Korean ,"I need to wash you up... Okay?"

     He looks up, seemingly astonished that I'm here to help, not to hurt. His chocolatey orbs sparkle with a bit of hope.

     He immediately stands up and lets me undress him. I do my best to avert my eyes from his... stuff... and put the shower water on.

     As soon as its ready, I go to the nurses staion at the end of the room and grab a pair of swim short-ish things. Seokjin watches intently as I change, a blush spreading actoss my face.

     When I am changed, we get into the shower. I have Seokjin crouch down a bit so that I can scrub his hair.

     Although he seems to not understand how I am here to help him, he complies rather quickly to my orders and silently lets me scrub his hair. Do they bathe him regularly? We do this for a few minutes so that I can get what looks like vomit-chunks and really old grime out of his hair. Its disgusting but its also my job...

     After his hair is fully cleansed and rinsed, I put soap on a washrag and begin scrubbing his large shoulders. He shudders so I stop, noticing that he is breathing quickly. I step around him so that we are face to face.

     "Seokjin." I say firmly ,"I will not hurt you. Why don't you sit down so that I can wash you better?"

     Understanding that if he sits, he can easilly watch my movements, he sits.

     After that, the shower moves along smoothly. I wrap a towel around him and keep a firm grip on his shoulders as I lead him to the elevator. He shivers.

     "I know it's cold," I coo ,"But I can't put you back in that dirty jacket, okay?"

     I lead him into the opened doors and press the button for the main floor. "Seokjin." I order. "Look at me."

     He looks.

     "I want you to hold my hand while we are down here so that you don't get lost or hurt, okay?"

     He jist stares at me.

     I put my hand on his bare shoulder ,"Nod if you understand that."
