"hey, you seem out of it today," commented the black-haired wonwoo, sitting next to his pink-haired friend, jihoon.
with a sigh, the younger said, "oh, it's nothing."
"well, your expression says the opposite though, did something happen last night?" the black haired questions as he leaned against the bench.
"it's about soonyoung," jihoon explained, adding that there was no point in hiding it.
"hm, how about him?" wonwoo inquired, his gaze fixed on his companion.
"i didn't want to mention anything as his doctor, but he's not doing well," jihoon responded.
wonwoo inquired, "how do you say that?"
"his mental state is deteriorating," jihoon said, sighing. "i haven't even been able to have a proper conversation with him recently." the pink-haired continued.
with a furrowed brow, wonwoo inquired, "when did it started?"
when did it all begin, you say? i wonder about that too. jihoon pondered to himself.
"when, you asked?" the pink-haired whispered to himself, trying to remember.
that's a good question to ask jihoon, and wonwoo did an excellent job of selecting one.
searching through his memories, it seems that it started when soonyoung mention that he had a recurring nightmares about the asylum being in shambles and jihoon being shot to death by a particular maroon-haired man who coincidentally match mingyu's cousin appearance.
flashback
in the four-cornered space divided into two by a glass wall, all you could hear was silence.
no one uttered a single thing.
the first and last voice heard was that of the pink haired doctor, who greets the blonde with a calm and tender good evening and inquires about his well-being, but receives no response in exchange.
"are you feeling any better, soonyoung?" the pink-haired doctor hesitantly asked.
he was the one who, as before, broke the silence between them since t's not like he he can just sit around while doing nothing; he clearly knew that it's not his responsibility to abandon soonyoung in this manner.
the blonde's first words were, "i want to get rid of all those nuance, i badly want to kill them."
"wait, what did you say?" jihoon asked, his voice calm and reserved but kind is enough to soothe a person.
the words weren't really audible enough for the pink haired jihoon to understand; it was simply a mumble that you couldn't keep up with even in this kind of silence.
when the blonde raises his head to meet the doctor's gaze, jihoon could tell his spirit was on the verge of leaving his body.
the blonde's eyes were particularly dark, and he has a small menacing grin on his face.
"you know what, doctor? i really want to get rid of them, i really want to kill those pest-like bastard," he said, which was unusual for the blonde.
jihoon had never saw him act in this manner before.
he'd come close to losing control before but was able to hold it together and would always ask the doctor to simply leave him alone for a while, but today is different.
his expression was unusual for the pink-haired.
"what do you mean by that?" jihoon asks, attempting to keep the conversation going despite his trepidation.
he had promised himself that he would never waver or shiver in front of his patient since the first day he stepped onto this field.
soonyoung Shook his head and looked back and forth, his locks clutched in an aggressive manner.
"blood, there's a lot of blood!" exclaimed the blonde, supposedly trembling in his chair.
contrary to the feeling he was displaying to the doctor, his eyes weren't showing any fear, but they were intense and serious, however the doctor couldn't have noticed that minor detail because he had already been duped by the blonde psycho's act.
"soonyoung, listen to me," jihoon said as he shot up from his seat. "please calm down, take a deep breath," he added.
the blonde looks uncomfortable and frightened by something unknown as he stares at the floor.
well, at least that was what the blonde intended to show the latter.
he yelled, "no! don't come near me! stay there!" as he backed away from the shorter guy.
"please calm down soonyoung, no one will hurt you while i'm here," jihoon stated softly, hoping to calm the latter.
the blonde exhaled deeply, his face flushed with sweat.
jihoon remained oblivious to the fact that there's black circle growing darker underneath the eye of the blonde, a sign of restless night.
"take a deep breath," jihoon said softly as he looked into the latter's eyes.
soonyoung's brows wrinkled, a reluctant expression on his face, but did what the doctor instructed.
"inhale and let it all go slowly," the pink-haired stated as soonyoung followed the instructions.
there was a brief moment of silence, in which all you could hear was their breathing.
after calming, soonyoung stood up with his head hung low.
"that's it," the doctor said, a small smile on his face, pleased that the blonde had managed to calm down. "slowly stand and calm down."
all of his assumptions were quickly disproved when, as soon as the blonde sat in his own seat, he slipped his hands into the small gap between them and grasped the doctor's wrist.
and by grasped, he meant he held it in a similar manner of choking someone, while his other hand slammed on the glass, as if attempting to burst it open.
as soon as jihoon saw the look on the latter's face, he almost fell to his knees; he plainly had the appearance of someone who was about to commit murder and that's what scares the pink haired.
he didn't notice when a group of security guards barged inside and dragged soonyoung back to his room before he could even crack the glass wall and destroy it; well, it would probably take him a week or two to really made a crack on it.
the pink-haired doctor couldn't even recall the time when he left the room nor what happened the next minute.
end of flashback.
"i'm not sure when it all started, but i'm certain of one thing," jihoon said.
"yeah? and tell me what is it, what were you so certain of?" wonwoo asked.
"i'm sure that i wouldn't be able to treat him right now, and that fact alone irritates me so bad," the pink-haired doctor sighed.
