Year 2020, an unknown strain of Corona Virus starts to attact people in Wuhan, China. Doctors weren't sure of how it affects a person nor knows if it is deadly enough.
***January 20, 2020 Dr.Luen was out on a trip to a province with his colleagues, receiving the trip as rewards for the new working doctors of Fen Medical Hospital. Right as they arrived, people were greeting them happily with a traditional dance. Right after, they all got to go to their respective rooms. Dr.Luen shares the same room with another doctors named Therese and Buntine. Luen hurries to his bed to sleep after the long ride they took while Buntine and Therese were being clingy with each other.
"Uhm,can you guys please stop being annoying and making those weird stuffs?"Luen glared at them intently.
"What? What do you expect couples do?" Buntine asked.
"Respect other people's peace and freedom to sleep? So please stop it," Luen said as he covered himself with a blanket to sleep.*******one eternity later******
LUEN's P.O.V
I almost hardly fell asleep because of my roommates, I didn't expect they were that noisy and clingy. After we took a rest, I went down to the pool with the other doctors. We were happily splashing the water as if we were kids. I was actually assigned to another hospital due to my performance, they said I am being needed at a greater hospital so I was happy enough to accept it. Over the past few days, my working schedule became hectic so I think this one really gave me an opportunity to relax.
"I'll head upstairs first," I said to my colleagues and left them there.
After arriving at the room, I took a shower while the two lovey-doveys were away. I brought my laptop with me to the shower room. I dived into the bath tub and started to play a lo-fi music as I turned the laptop on. I also watched YouTube videos(which I downloaded since the signal here is pretty unpredictable)when I heard someone knocking on the room door. I went out of the tub to open the door and saw Buntine already suited up with his silly Hawaiian shirt and shorts.
"Aren't you finished taking a shower?" He said.
" Wait,where did you dress yourself?"I asked.
" There's a shower room downstairs." He replied."BUNTINEEEEE!!!!Aren't you going down for the tour?" Therese appeared far out of nowhere she was at the alley yelling.
"Are you going to come with us? Because if you do you need to hurry," Buntine said to me.
"Uhm,you two just go. I ain't going, I'm not that interested," I answered and pushed them away from the room to finally enjoy loneliness. I am finally undisturbed.
I locked the room and went back to the bath tub. As I opened the laptop, a mail was sent to me containing a confidential issue...
Why would it be confidential? Everyone deserves to know this, but why? What's their reason? Ain't it safer if they'd tell this publicly so that we could prevent it from getting worse?I believe...One is too many. I hurried and finished bathing. I took a step out to pick my phone from my bag. As I took it out...I texted Mr.Zue.
This is taking long...Why is it so loading? I just had the signal a while ago and received his mail but why isn't my message sending?
How unlucky! Guess I'll have to wait for tomorrow to come.
(door opens)
"WAHHHHHHH!!!"
"Hey!Hey!Stop screaming," Therese said as she heard me scream when she entered the room.
