Chapter 20: Mistaken

After 3 days of being treated in the hospital, the doctor informed the coach that Jirou and Mark can be discharged tomorrow.

"They just needed to complete one more oxygen therapy tonight and they're all good to go home tomorrow."

The doctor explained to the coach.

"Okay, doc. I will tell the guys."

The coach immediately went to Mark's room before going to Jirou's which is just right next to Mark's.

"Hey, Mark. We're going home tomorrow. Tell your parents that you're all good now. They keep on messaging me."

"Yeah, fine. I will. I wanna get out of here."

"I'm going to Jirou's room to tell the news to them too."

Getting no response, the coach just left the room and went straight to Jirou's.
Joseph is busy with his cellphone, probably talking to his online friends, Ethan playing rubix's cube, Shawn reading a book and Jirou watching things on the internet. The coach came in their room and immediately told the news.

"Pack your things up, we're going home tomorrow. You feeling good, Jirou?"

He turned to look at the patient.
Jirou nodded and and Ethan butted in.

"He's feeling a lot better now, coach. He even told us that he can go home right now."

Shawn and Joseph stayed quiet and was paying attention to the coach.

"Jirou still need to undergo one last oxygen therapy tonight. Same with Mark." The coach explained to them.

"But they'll be alright, right?" Shawn, with a worried look asked.

"Yes, Shawn. You don't have to worry. Anyway, I gotta go now. Mark doesn't have someone to accompany him so I have to be in his room."

The four nodded and thanked the coach politely.

As soon as the coach left the room, Joseph gets his phone again and shared everything in Team A's group chat.

They were all excited upon hearing the news and was looking forward to seeing Jirou again.

Hours passed and it's already evening. It's time for the oxygen therapy of Jirou and Mark. The nurses came to both rooms to set up the oxygen tanks.

While doing the therapy, Shawn and Joseph fell asleep on the couch while Ethan was sitting beside Jirou's bed. Jirou was asleep too.

While in the middle of his sleep, Shawn started to see things in his dreams. All of it were clear.

I.V attached to a person's hand, a number 5525, and a hospital hallway.

As soon as he sees those things in his dreams, he felt something on his chest, he's having a hard time breathing.
Ethan, who was busy reading a book, stood up to fix his chair to sleep when he suddenly saw Shawn sweating despite of the air-conditioned room and breathing quickly than normal. He panicked and immediately woke Shawn up.

"Shawn!!! Shawn!! Hey, man, wake up!" He held Shawn's arms and shook him causing Shawn to wake up.
Joseph and Jirou also woke up when Ethan started shouting.

"Hey, man, are you okay?" Ethan asked Shawn with a worried expression while still holding him.

"Yeah.. I am.. I guess? I just had a bad dream.. I need water." Shawn stood up to get water, thinking about his dream.

When everyone calmed down after Shawn told them about his dream, the guys decided to call it a night thinking that it was just a bad dream and went to sleep.

The next day, Shawn woke up earlier than everyone in the room. He went out to buy food for his friends when he heard someone crying in the room next to Jirou's. Being curious, he looked to see what's happening and saw Mark's parents crying but Mark wasn't there. Their coach went out the room and he asked him what happened.

"Mark was found dead by his nurse at 4am. His oxygen pressure was set wrong. They think it's the cause of his death." The coach answered.

He suddenly shivered. He remembered his dream from last night. His heart starts beating fast. He took a few steps back and saw Mark's room number: 5525. He realized that those things he saw in his dream were hints.

"I failed once again... Someone died because I didn't pay enough attention to those hints.." he whispers to himself.
Shawn went home before his friends does. He stayed all day in his room thinking about what he wasn't able to do and it was saving Mark from his death.

After 24 hours of Mark's death, the autopsy report has been released.

"Exploded lungs cause of inhaling too much oxygen."
