CH.07

jihoon woke up catching his breath.

it wasn't the first time, and certainly isn't the last time, that he woke up in the middle of the night.

it has been the third time in a row.

heaving a deep and long sigh, the pink haired guy wipe away the sweats falling from his forehead.

with furrowed eyebrows, jihoon stare at the wall clock hanging inside his room that says 3:03 am, the same time that he woke up last night.

running a finger through his hair, he stood from his bed, making his way to the kitchen to grab something to drink.

maybe a hot chocolate will do- no, i guess milk is better. he thought to himself.

after making a cup of hot milk, he decided to read some novel while drinking to kill some boredom.

after an hour full of boredom, he decided to made his way back to his room, feeling a bit drowsy and sleepy now.

climbing back to his bed, he immediately cover himself with a warm blanket.

and right at the moment that both his eyes closes by itself, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

'''

doctor careful, you're about to fall for the predator's trap.

jihoon's shot his eyes open after hearing a very familiar voice inside his head but immediately shut them closed after seeing the bright sun ray peaking from the transparent window of his room.

groaning, jihoon messed his already messy pink hair and stood up to do his usual morning routine.

it's still early and he's obviously sleep deprived because he kept having the same nightmare but since he's been fidgety, it's better to just go to his workplace early and burry his self with work for a change of pace.

'''

calm down jihoon, it's not like it's your first time meeting him, it's actually the third time. the said doctor thought to himself, fixing his newly ironed coat.

as soon as jihoon enter the same plain asylum, he was greeted by some personnel inside.

'''

"what happened doctor?" asked soonyoung, breaking the silence between the two of them.

"what happened? to what?" the doctor asked as he offers him a customer service smile.

focus, focus on your job. yeah, that's right jihoon, you have to do your job even if you're exhausted mentally. he convinces himself.

"it seems like you have been staying up all night these past few days, didn't get enough sleep, do you?" asked the blonde.

surprised, jihoon stare at the latter. it was almost scary how accurate the blonde is.

"what do you mean by that? i get plenty of sleep." the pink haired lied.

unbothered by the lie the doctor said, the blonde could only stare in silence before losing interest in the said topic.

"hm, is that so?" he said, not wanting to argue for more.

"yes." replied jihoon, still wearing his customer service smile.

"by the way doctor, stop smiling like that, it felt so fake that it's almost creepy." soonyoung said, with a straight face.

embarrassed, jihoon cleared his throat."sorry."

"and if you're gonna lie about having plenty of sleep, you should do something about the bags under your eye." soonyoung continued with an exasperated sigh.

with that being said, jihoon could only choked on his own saliva, face flushed in red.

"do i look like a zombie or something?" the doctor jokingly asked.

"well, not literally, you just look like a ghost." the blonde replied with his monotone voice.

talk about a change of role, my patient becoming my doctor. jihoon thought to himself.

clearing his throat, the pink haired doctor could only offer another 'sorry' before fixing his posture.

"going back, how are you these past few days?" the doctor asked.

"the usual." answered the latter with a shrug.

"so, just like what i've said two days ago, i want to know more of you." jihoon started before flipping through the pages of his so called data's.

"and like what i've said before, you can just ask me anything, anytime." the blonde replied as he crossed his arms, resting his back at the chair board.

"so, according to our research, the last crime you committed is on the twenty second of-"

"yeah, november twenty two doctor," he cutted jihoon off with a rather serious tone.

he sounded way too serious for a casual talk that it brought the doctor in the edge of his confident.

damn it, this is so nerve wrecking. what's wrong with me? jihoon thought to himself as he tried to calm his nerves.

is my fatigue catching up on me? or am i really this jumpy since the beginning? maybe it's the latter.
