Ice Lake Hospital

Ice Lake

You gave up trying to remove the rope that was tying your ankle. You sat down on the left side of your bed facing the windows.

Am I being kidnapped? They must have tied me so I can't run away. But my family is not rich enough to be threatened for money. I don't think I have any enemies either. Well...no one that's bad enough to hurt me. And that doctor seems nice. He is good looking too. But that is not the point. You shook your head to stop thinking.

The new room you were in was cozy and looked more like a Victorian style bedroom. Just the patient's bed and your uniform reminded you of a hospital. 

Why would they give me such a nice room if I am a hostage?

The last thing I remember was going home right? And there was an accident? No. Someone was going being hurt? The scream I heard sounded like there were many people though. A murder? OMG. Was I knocked out in front of my room? You were lost in your thought.

"I see you are feeling much better now?" You were surprised by a deep voice behind you.

"Sorry, I startled you." He apologized and you stood up to face the man. It was the handsome doctor. 

"Please sit down. " The doctor said with a smile so I did.

"Um. Why am I here? Is...is something happening to me? Am I... sick?" You wanted to ask questions normally but you got nervous. You saw his face softened. 

"Um. What is going on?" You calmed down and asked.

"Ms. Y/n. Your neighbor found you collapsing in front of your room and sent you to hospital. But they don't specialize in your symptoms so they sent you to us. We already contacted your family and we will take care of all the payments. So you do not have to worry about that." He replied calmly.

You read his name badge.

Name: Dr. Kim Taehyung.

Authority: Physchiatrist.

Staff # HQ - 5481 - 2629

Ice Lake Hospital.

"What... what is it that I have?" You hesitated before asking.

"You're diagnosed with Ice lake Syndrome." Dr. Kim replied.

What kind of syndrome is that? Is it dangerous? and wait. Is he a psychiatrist? You thought and try not to think of all the bad things that will happen.

"It's a group of symptoms related with prolonged stress, sadness, and high imagination. If you remained untreated, your will lose the ability to tell apart reality and fantasy." He continued.

"Can I just bring my medications home? I don't have to stay here... right?" You asked thinking about the rope that was tied to your ankle. He was a doctor for mental illness too, you were definitely not staying. You've seen those documentary videos on YouTube.

"You will have to stay here until you are healed. The medical treatments you are taking have a few side affects so you need a close supervision. Do you remember what happened to you this morning?" He lifted his eyebrows. 

Oh no... he didn't see me like that right? That's embarrassing. Wait... I don't care about that. You thought. 

"You don't have any proof that I really have that... ice syndrome. I am perfectly normal." You wouldn't back down. All these treatments are what's going make me crazy. 

"I believe that you have been talking to yourself when you are stressed and trying to imagine unrealistic things when you are down. Correct?"

But doesn't anybody do that? I mean I think positively when I am down. I did it to lift my spirit up. I talk to myself sometimes to relief my stress because I don't want to annoy Kate or Harper too much. Especially my family. But I'm not crazy. You were silent for a while.

"How long do I have to stay?" You finally say something.

"Until you are healed completely." He said smiling. 

Why does he keeps smiling? It's starting to feel creepy... He's good looking but you never like doctors. You don't trust them.

"Fine but I don't want to be tied like this." You pointed at your ankle. 

"Okay...if you agree not to leave this room." He looked into my eyes. 

"Okay?" Is that it? He should have told me that in the beginning. You thought.

He was still looking at you.

"Uh. Sure." You said.

"I think I've cleared all your all your questions?" He asked.

For now. You thought and nodded.

He did basic check up on you and you fell asleep because of tiredness.
