"Well, well. First of all. In comparison to the others you two only made to check up on 10 patients while the others checked up on 20."
Our supervisor mumbles.

I swallow.
He was right. We were a bit late in time.

"But you two will level up from level 1 to level 3 because I saw what you two did after you recognized that Miss Carter was in horrible pain. Well done."

I smile happily at Noah.
"Lee knew what to do from the beginning."
He says brightly.

"But Noah was the one who called out for help imidiatly."
I throw back.

Our supervisor glares at Noah.

"Tomorrow you two will have to work together with the senior physician."

My jaw drops and my eyes widen.
Working together with a senior physician is one of the biggest honours ever.

I bow and smile at our Supervisor.
"Thank you so much Mr....?"

"Mr. Perez."

He answers.

"Thank you Mr. Perez. Thank you."

--------------------- -------

Taeyhung's pov.

We leveled up to level 2.
Madison and Jacky perform a redicuoulus dance while I just stand beside them not showing any emotion.

Don't act like you are the victim.

I spin around.
Lee appears with Noah from the other side of the hallway.

I stare at her.
What is she trying to tell me?

Why are you staring?
Guess you should be dancing with Jacky.

I concentrate at Lee's bodylanguage.
This can't be possible. Why is she constantly talking in my mind.

She disappears in a patients room.

Suddenly a wave of flashbacks starts to hit me.
Our first meeting in the elevator and how I fell in love with her at the first sight.
How I saved her from a drug dealer and our first kiss in the party house.
The night I saved her from a murder.
I remember how fast I carried her towards the school.
The weeks she spent in hospital. And our snowball fight... this was the end of the story. Since then everything went down.

A tear escapes my eye without me noticing it.

I should definitely talk to somebody.
Room number 41 the lady with cancer told me after I gave her the medication pills.

This is what I will do.

-----------------------------------------

Lee's pov.

I hurried along the hallway together with Noah. We wanted to check on Miss Carter how she was feeling since we found out that the scar was infected.

After we turn around the corner I catch Taeyhung staring at me.
Why does he do that?!

I glare at him a last time before I disappear in room number 41.

"Darling..."
She whispers weakly.

I force a smile.

"You did well. I feel much better."
She continues.

"That's good to hear."
I know that she is in a bad state and that it was nearly impossible for her to survive. She lost many organs and she seems very weak.

"Will you come to visit me soon?"
She asks.

I nod.
"Ofcourse I will. But I think you should rest first. You seem very tired. Can I get you something to drink or anything from the grocerie store?"

"No thank you Honey. I'm good."
She smiles.

"Your little friend is shy isn't he?!"
She asks pointing at Noah.

I glare at him.
PLEASE SMILE BACK AT HER! BE POLITE! 

He smiles.
"No I'm not shy. It's just.. I don't want to disturb you Miss."

She laughs loudly.
"You disturbing me?! Son I'm very happy to talk to anybody. My man passed away last year and my only daughter is overseas with my grandkids. Don't be shy. Come closer."

I swallow.
It must be hard to have nobody.

He took a step towards her.
I wonder what he has. I guess he doesn't like to be here for any reason.

She takes his hand.
Then she mumbles something into his ear looking straight at me.

"Okay kids. I don't want to delay you. Thank you for doing the job today. Sleep tight."

I nod.
"Thank you miss Carter. You too."

She frowns.
"Don't call me Miss Carter. I'm Louise to you."

-----------------------------------------------
Noah and I decided to go for a walk after we left the hospital.
The night is clear and the temperature is muggy.

"Hey... what was that in the hospital?"
I ask carefully.

He clears his throat.
"Oh that. Uhm.. it was nothing."
He smiles at me showing off his dimples.

"You didn't feel well did you?"

"I don't want to give her a space in my heart because I'm afraid to let go when the time has come."
He sighs.

"I understand."

Both of us didn't know what to say so we kept quiet for a long time until he addresses the topic I wanted to avoid.

"Now you tell me what happened earlier."
He nods towards my bruise.

"Listen Noah. I don't want to talk about it. I know you care about that which I am thankful for but... it's my buisness and I don't want you to intervene in this..."

He stops walking.
"You think he is too strong for me. Don't you?"

I shake my head.
"No it's not that.  It's just I-

"That is not okay. Not in any type of way. And you let him get away with it."
He cut off my sentence.

I wrap my arms around me as I feel a cold breeze passing by.

"I don't let him get away with it. I keep distance and I know it hurts him."
I answer and continue to walk.
