Virus || JINHWI FANFIC

Bae Jinyoung

We're gathered up here in this same conference room. Daniel was leading the meeting as he mentioned about the new drug team. Even after the meeting commence, I decided to try and log in again. After 3 tries, I gave up, I was getting stressed about it too. The door knocked later on too.

"Yes?" I answered then the door opened revealing Daniel.

"You sure that I'm not bothering you?" He asked peeking his head in.

"Yes." I said standing from my seat.

He walked to my desk and stood in front of it before he stared down at the baseball.

"Was that actually signed by Derek Jeter?" He asked pointing down at the baseball.

"Yes."

"It's a pity that he retired that day. Many people had high values when it comes to this. But to me, you are like this ball."

"Are you just comparing me and my similarities to a mere signed baseball?"

"No, I'm the one who recognizing you, your potential is worth a lot." He answered. "I'm the one who granted your permission to get in the security as well. Your problems with Daehwi and the draft was denied. I expect you to also improve your relation with him too."

"Is there anything else that you want to tell me?" I asked.

"No, I'll take my leave then." He said turning away.

"Director." He stopped and looked at me.

"Thank you." I said reaching my hand out.

I saw him smile then reached over to my hand in a handshake gestures.

"Your hands are very cold." He said.

"I'm known to be cold most of the times since I was young." I informed him.

He didn't say anything, we stayed at that spot for a while till he breaks the silence and contact. I was called down to one of the VIP rooms. I exit my office and down to one of VIP room numbers. As I got there, I entered and met with Daehwi, Chairman Minhyun, and the patient.

"Ah, Sister Sylvia, this is Department Chief, Bae Jinyoung. I promise your health will get better being under him." Minhyun said cheerfully.

"Nice to meet you Professor Bae." She said and I only bowed my head in response.

"Then I should be taking charges-"

"Daehwi, just let Jinyoung handle this situation." He interrupted Daehwi.

Minhyun then left us, for me being stuck with Daehwi who had the annoyed look on his face. Later on, we had the patient go under a scan to see her problem.

"The tumor is quick, it had already spread to the liver." I said with Daehwi standing beside me. "At this point, even with a R2 section, it'll be nearly-"

"Shut up.." He spoke up.

"What? I can't say my diagnosis-"

"Just shut up. I can already see that, but the way you're wording things. Shouldn't you have say it in a way like you have for other patients? For Sister Sylvia, she's-" he choked on his own spit. "She's my mother." He said then left the room leaving behind.

I watched his figure left behind the door, I glared at the door for a quick second but then stopped to go to Sylvia and return her to her room to let her rest.

Lee Daehwi

After leaving him, my heart felt heavy, like it was giving me pain too. As I walked around in the hospital, memories had flooded my mind.

Past Time: 2006

"Mother, I want to change my name." I asked Sylvia.

"Why would you want to change your name?" She answered with a question.

"When I hear my name, Seo Yeon, I tend to get emotional."

"But your father had personally gave you that name. If that's the case, then fine but only under one condition." She said and looked up at me.

I felt my tears started to stream down my eyes onto my cheeks and to the chair below. She explained the condition, before sobbing out loudly. She pulled me into a hug, I leaned my head against her shoulders as my tears fall.

"From now on, your name will now be Daehwi." She said as I cried.

Present Time

I stopped walking noticing that I really haven't gotten far. My tears was felt on my cheeks, luckily for no one around me. I wiped away the tears quickly but they all came back. I just suddenly smiled at myself because of this behavior.

"Haha.. aish, I'm really am going crazy." I mumbled.

As I put down my hand, I looked up and noticed a handkerchief was displayed in front of me. I looked up and see Jinyoung holding it out.

"Not gonna wipe yourself? Works with me." He said.

I grabbed the handkerchief before he moved it away from me. I wiped off any extra tears that was left on my eyes and/or cheeks. I was about to hand back his handkerchief but he had already disappeared.

"How can he just leave me with his handkerchief." I wondered before folding it neatly and putting it away.

I checked out of my work before going home to rest for the night.

Bae Jinyoung

After informing Guan Lin about the news of the file being deleted. He was stressing out about it suddenly disappearing. We continued on how we came to Korea for no reason if we couldn't find the file. Now, our target is to find who posted it and know my identity. Guan Lin went off the computer and head to bed early since he doesn't want to stress about it anymore. I stayed up, I'm in my own office working on any work from the hospital. As I was working, my ears started to ring again, signalling me that there's an infectee around this area. I got up quietly and moved over to the window staying by the frame and peaking out through the shutters.

I saw a dude in a hoodie standing behind a tree staring up at the house. After noticing who it was, I burst out in a run to the front door. I crashed opened the door and headed to the back quickly. As I got onto the road, car honking was heard, I jumped higher than usual to get through the whole road. When I arrive, I was met with no one, that infectee had already fled from the scene. Leaving me here out in dark, trying to find out where he had went off too.
