flowers [kim doyoung]

"please don't question us what happened, it is... complicated to tell" yuta said as he put the ice pack on his arm. doyoung was still unconscious, but the nurse does her work and continued to stitch doyoung's wound on his forehead.

the nurse smiled at him. "it's alright, but then doc, please don't report me cause we're in a prohibited room and i'm treating dr kim illegally" she said softly to yuta who had his brows cocked.

he chuckled as a result. "no, i'm not reporting you to anyone, ivy. doyoung wouldn't care about it anyway plus you're a good nurse. i wonder why they put you outside at the front desk?"

ivy turned beetroot. she never acknowledged that yuta would knew her name. "that's.. actually i'm not quite sure too. i just knew that the head nurse doesn't like me because she thinks i'm the cause of my sister's death.. but no, it's not my fault that my blood couldn't clot with hers" she pursed her lips as she wiped the excess blood that came out from doyoung's wound. looking up to yuta who was rubbing his neck in awkwardness.

"i guess i've heard about that. the head nurse did talk bad about u, by the way, i'm sorry for your lost" he mumbled, as the red blushes was dancing across his cheeks as an embarrassment.

she smiled bitterly, she knew the head nurse would tell every single hospital staff about her. saying that she purposely do not want to save her sister. oh please, her sister matters a lot to her and losing her was one of her nightmares. guess what? it happened.

trying to shrug off the thought, she put the cotton swab away and tidied her workplace. doyoung is sleeping soundly on the bed. she glanced at yuta with red cheeks, "it's okay. it's an old story anyway. by the way.. if i'm not prying, may i know what happened between you and doctor kim?" she said timidly as she put all her focus at him.

yuta was blushing hard. he flirts a lot but this time when this nurse adverts all of her attention to him, he gets flustered. "d-drop the formalities. it's not like i'm 10 years older than you. to be honest, i do need another ear for me to rant about this problem. it's not like we're fighting and all.. but it's just as complicated as it seems. i just need you to believe it"

ivy nodded. she wasn't that stuck up. she believes in all sort of things that others don't.

yuta huffed and ran his fingers agains his bangs, "alright, before i start.. do you believe that flowers would bloom out of your heart if you're having unrequited love? it's not everyone could see that thing but, some can. when you suffer more from love, the flowers would bloom more and puncture your heart, leaving you slowly to die"

ivy looked at yuta with huge eyes. she knew about this. in fact, she's starting to believe about it. she wonders about her flowers and heart when she's around yuta.

not making him suspicious, she nodded. "yeah, i sort of heard about it last time. and now, i'm starting to believe that it's true" when those words left ivy's lips, yuta was stunned. he.. he could see her heart.

her heart glows lightly, with pretty little flowers on it. her heart glows into a pinker hue when she was talking to him. as if it was toning down. he's starting to realize that once someone believes in these things, you can see their heart's condition.

"ouh fuck" yuta whispered, the tips of his ears are finally red. he didn't know that ivy likes him.

ivy raised her eyebrows, suddenly intrigued by yuta who suddenly cussed .

not trying to make things worse, yuta shake his head. "no, i'm sorry that i suddenly cursed. it's just... nevermind."

"okay back to it, once you're believing this, it would be easy. so, doyoung here is involved with that thing. he liked his best friend from the age of 15 and he basically didn't confess to her because he was scared that his best friend didn't feel the same and he values their friendship too much for that to happen" he added. ivy was listening attentively, gesturing her hand for yuta to continue.

"unfortunately, because of his heart that has become too damaged with the flowers growing from it, his body is weak. a demon, from what i called it, decided to fuse herself into doyoung just because doyoung looked like her ex boyfriend and take revenge using doyoung's body"

"that's.. nasty"

"it is. she is slowly altering doyoung into someone else and hurting him for him to grow weaker so she can take over his body. so u see, with doyoung's eye has turned black, she lives inside him for now"

"so now it makes sense that all of your cuts and bruises all because of doyoung and the demon to fight over doyoung's body?"

a sudden voice interrupts yuta and ivy's conversation "you're right"

both of them turned their heads towards the voice, seeing doyoung already sat on his bed, exposing his black eye.

ivy almost yelped when doyoung suddenly said that.

"gosh doyoung, you're scaring us"  yuta exclaimed as he put a hand over his chest.

"i think i'm scaring myself too. look"
he pointed at his right arm starting from his shoulder, his veins are visible and it all had turned black.

"oh shit"
