Chapter 2: It's you

J E N N I E

Seriously?!

What's wrong with the world that it keeps throwing things at me?! Ugh, first is the stuff toy, and now? now what?! I lifted my head to see who's responsible for this and was ready to shout at them, but then I stopped.

Why? because it's just, okay, wait, I didn't stop, but everything around me does.

Cliché, I know, but sh*t, it's happening again. This is what I'm trying to say to Jisoo that she can't quite understand, and now it's here.

I didn't know for how long I've been standing here without saying anything, but I don't care anymore. All I can see is a woman standing in front of me with black hair, a doll face, and her eyes, which can capture souls within you, full of mysteries and stories untold.

As I was observing her, she slowly lifted her head and then locked eyes with me. She's still dazed because of the impact.

Then I shake my head a little and compose myself.

"I didn't know whose fault it was, so let's just say it's an accident," I said to her while holding my reddened forehead.

When she heard me talking to her, she shook her head slightly while taking a deep breath.

"Well yeah I-- I I think you're right." she stuttered, and I find it cute and wtf? no way, I'm being creepy.

"I'm sorry though I'm just really in a hurry, I accidentally dro-" she stopped while looking down at something, specifically at me.

"Oh you have it?" she asks unsure and she frown.

To see what she's referring to, I lower my gaze, and I see her looking at the stuff toy on my left hand. Looking back at her, I see her holding the same yellow teddy bear but with a ribbon on it. Then I realize something, it is the same stuff toys on the girl's bedside table! But how did she get those?

"This? Oh, uh, it fell over my head while I was standing outside," I replied. "But why are these stuff toys with you?" I ask her because I'm really confused right now.

"Uhm, because it's mine?" she said, stating it obviously but questioningly.

"It's yours? But as much as I remember, these are at the patient's bedside table who got into an accident, I'm the one who treated her a while ago," I said to her, and I caught her off guard.

"Are you breaking into a patient's room?" So I added and I'm slightly glaring at her.

Her eyes widen, opening her mouth, then closing again because she can't find the right words to say.

Ah ha! I'm right, she probably stole this stuff. Why do thieves keep coming to this hospital instead of the police station?

"Ani, I didn't steal these things, I swear. These are mine in the first place, there's a misunderstanding here, miss," she answered, hiding the other bear behind her using both hands.

"I don't think so, you're acting suspicious right now. I need to call security to clarify this," I said as I grabbed my phone using my right hand while my left was still holding the stuff toy, then pressed a button ready to call security.

"What?! You can't do that, I'm telling the truth!" she said, and I know she's getting scared right now as I heard the panic in her voice. I ignored her, and my phone started to dial the number.

"Please, doctor, you can't do that. I'll prove myself to you," she said, coming closer to me. My heart starts to beat so loud that it's almost visible in the eyes of others especially her, ugh not again.
