Who Really Are You?

conference

After the complicated and exhausting episode of the happenings, the interns found themselves inside the conference room along with the 4 doctors, their seating arrangements still the same from the first time they entered the dark room.

Dr. Bae was looking at them silently- which they bowed their heads into- but everyone could tell there's so many words into the silence.

Dr. Bae is not subtle about it either as she openly scrutinized them with keen eyes.

The silence had been going on for eternity- 3 minutes in real life- and the interns couldn't take it any longer.

"SORRY MS. BAE." They all stated in sync while bowing their heads.

The doctor remained silent and they knew they are damned.

"You already saw how a patient react over.... an issue."

The way she trailed her words are kind of scary yet still sounded so smooth as ever.

Even without looking, Minju can feel the eyes on her.

'Great, now I am the issue.'

"You see, patients tend to be aggressive and I expected and trusted you to help them, not let them."

"Dr. Bae, we are just as confused. I am a psychology major and it still confuses me on why Ms. An reacted that way. It looked like she was triggered by something and yet we didn't think there's anything that can be triggering at that time."

All eyes went on Wonyoung's brave act of speaking.

The older members of the team couldn't help but think she's really cool being her psychologist smart self.

"You aren't still lectured about Yujin, I see."

Dr. Bae looked at Dr. Kim, who nodded in response.

This made the interns look at each other. So they basically still need to know more and it certainly is a big help, really.

Minju knew she have to listen very well since she is much part of the 'issue'.

And also for some other reasons.

"Your lecture for today should be about a special case of Yujin's condition. But this happened."

They all bowed down in shame and apology again. But there's still a portion of them that tells them it's nothing near their fault and is purely because of an obnoxious patient- blame Chaewon for that.

'Why do we have to suffer because of her? What's so special to her anyway?'

Chaewon rolled her eyes subtly and didn't notice Minju seeing it. The younger can only furrow her brows in confusion.

"Okay then. I think it'll be better if I explain?"

The interns nodded at Dr. Bae and listened to every words intently.

"Yujin was brought here when she was 10. She was, unfortunately, admitted with MPD. Apparently, her condition went well because of the treatments and is still doing fine. Until now. This is the first aggression she had over 5 years."

At the mention of the last part, Dr. Bae looked at Minju, eyes unreadable and the intern can only tear her gaze away.

She think it's even better if Dr. Bae look at her mad than looking at her with a very blank and unreadable eyes.

"She was one of those who were here for a long time and is such a very precious patient for us. She' our kid." Dr. Kang stated in her soft voice.

It's really warm and the interns found themselves easing a bit.
