"No one should do this except your doctor and the nurse assisting her but for you to be sure, I'll look at your records, okay?"
      I was about to attend the patient inside when the buzzer from his room was pressed. I am his doctor and the patient inside is under observation...

But I stopped on my tracks and just stood beside the wall, near the door, when I heard a voice, a familiar voice talking to the young patient.

There are a few moments of silence...
From the ajar door, I could see the boy drawing lines at the air while looking at the ceiling with his eyes open.

"You'll be okay."
        Then she went next to the bed and sat on the chair.

"You should just be obedient to your doctor and parents, be a good kid, don't do the things that are prohibited. Don't be stressed and just enjoy being a kid, enjoy life, okay? That's all then you'll be okay."
       She stated and the boy didn't let out a response...

"Also..."
       She caressed his hand...

"I saw who your doctor is..."
       My lips quiver when I saw a tiny smile on his lips and my eyes suddenly felt stingy.

"She's a very good doctor, she will do everything to save you. Just... trust her."
        Looking at her, she doesn't seem to mean lies. By her eyes, I could tell that she's genuine.

"Oh, are you going inside, Ma'am? The buzzer was just..."
      I shook my head, cutting off the words of the nurse. Then giving out her a signal by smiling and nodding once for her to enter.

"Ma'am, sorry I came late..."
        The nurse came in...

"It's okay, it's not an emergency. I'm just going to ask for one to attend to him, accompany him while his parents are still not around and if you may, ask his doctor if it's necessary not to give him dextrose? That's all. I'll be leaving. But anyway, please be more attentive next time, we're in the hospital."
       She answered and I heard her footsteps getting closer.

But her steps stopped when she was about to get to the door...

"Hey kid, I'll be going now. Remember what I said and do those things, alright?"
      She cheered up, and even waved at the kid before walking out of the door. A little bit of enthusiastic disregarding of what happened earlier morning.

Then, she placed her feet out and closed the door... slowly. Then I knew she recognzied me as soon as she went out of the door. Shs let out a heavy breath and didn't face me but spoke...

"The kid, he has a disease... I don't know but as a doctor, I'm worried for him and I'm trusting you with him."
       She stated and even before I could ever respond, she already had taken steps away from me.

Trusting...
She's trusting me one last time about professionalism. It's out of what happened to us but it gave me a little hope to continue keeping us, our friendship.

No days nor nights had passed without me thinking about it, regretting about it. I am still endlessly questioning myself as to how have I done that, after experiencing it twice from Taehyung and Yoongi. How come have I forgotten the feeling why betraying her with her loving man.

Friendship...
It's the only thing left for me.
She is the only person who had stayed loyal for me and I broke her trust. I should do everything... everything for us to keep going together.

She's my best friend.
She's such a good friend.
The only person who didn't leave me despite of all until the day I broke everything. She's the only one who hasn't given up on me.

Keep the person...
And take care of the person...
Who takes care of you no matter what, genuine concern for you, won't leave your side despite of how many flaws you have. Keep them... or you'll never have them again.

My head titled to the direction she took, she's about to leave the building and I, now, finally had felt the total amount of distance that has grew between us. I was too hopeful that I could just get out friendship back just by saying sorry or explaining myself, looking at her now...

The image she's portraying is an image that no one has ever seen yet, not even me as her best friend.

We grew apart just by days, my mistake has easily eaten the good bond we have, the good image we both have. Feeling the wall that was built around her, I could tell that our journey might reach two possible ends only: I'll lose her, or we will be back but not the same as before.

My eyes shut down with the thought...
My body is getting heated up by the emotions filling me inside. Here we go again, regretting an action we made, blaming ourselves because of the result that has come up.

"Whichever end, I will still try. You're still my best friend even if I'm not the best person for you anyway."

A:     I know, it's short but I have to get back to the track, okay? Spare me for now.
