She was an intern; She was a patient

"Do you think we'll survive our way in there? You know how they say those type of people can be aggressive." Yena shivered at the thought.

She is still an intern and she doesn't want to die in the psychiatric ward.

The black haired beside her smacked her head to knock some sense into her.

"Are you dumb? Those people in the psychiatric ward are different from those at the mental hospital. They're not insane and besides, they are just mentally incapable than normal people do."

The other 10 interns inside the bus nodded. Yena can only pout before sighing in defeat.

Indeed, even the way into the psychiatric ward is creepy.

Tall trees and grasses on the side of the road made it look like they're into a horror fim.

Of course, psychiatric wards in the deepest pit of Gwangju will be less pretty like those in Seoul and Gangnam.

They are more in the country side after all.

The black haired, Yuri, looked at the opposite row, only to see the owner of the seat looking at the window with nothing much of emotion.

Yuri looked at the light orange haired behind the girl and saw her almost the same, except that she still have an ounce if courage to talk to their team leader instead of mopping at herself.

"Psst. Minju unnie." Yuri called to the chestnut haired girl.

The other's attention were put into the girl too, seemingly noticing the dark aura revolving around her.

The girl looked at Yuri with a blank face that it almost made her look unrecognizable.

But Yuri still smiled and lifted up her cookies.

"Do you want some?"

"No." Minju softly yet emotionlessly answered before looking back at the window again.

Yuri can only sigh along with the others.

"She's still deeply scarred. It's just yesterday." Yena confided the girl beside her who nodded in agreement.

"But why do Chaewon unnie look fine?" She asked before she was greeted with a shake in the head.

"Chaewon may look like she's fine but she's just as hurt. And people's sensitivity are different Yul." Yuri nodded again before sighing and focusing herself into the road instead.

Minju heard all of what Yena and Yuri said and they are quiet right, except for the part when they said Chaewon is hurting as much as she do.

'She doesn't look even like a bit hurt. She's just a numb human after all.' She scoffed before resting her head into the window again, stopping her tears from falling.

She hates herself for being overly sensitive that just the mere mention of the older girl causes this much of an impact to her.

She closed her eyes as she let the warm feeling in her eyes subside first before opening them again.

The scene changed. The road they are in now is brighter. The trees and tall grasses are already nowhere to be seen and was replaced by walls, not that tall to block the sunrise, but tall enough to cover what's behind it.

"Looks like we are already at the way into the ward." Their team leader, Eunbi, spoke.

Minju looked at the front and looked at the surroundings clearer.

It looks spacey and clean. Better than what she thought it would be.

"WE'RE ALMOST THERE. THE GATES ARE JUST METERS AWAY. I SUGGEST YOU PREPARE YOUR LUGGAGE FOR AN EASY EXIT. THANK YOU."
