He's NOT a Psycho

Chapter 1

✎﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

A few weeks had passed, and Kun had gotten used to his new job at the Silverwood Mental Institution. He knew his daily tasks and he had some patients he helped with their schedule and transfers. All was going really well, and Kun was glad that it was way less scary and dark than he had expected when he started. He helped a patient to his activity room, when he saw a nurse run towards him. The patient flinched slightly, and Kun glared at the nurse. "Careful, I can't have a scared patient.." "Sorry sorry, but head nurse Liu really needs you. All nurses are occupied and she has to handle someone that requires two people." Kun nodded and looked at his patient. "I'll bring him to the activity room and then I can help her. Where do I need to go?" "The restricted section." Kun gulped slightly, but nodded anyway. "Alright. Thank you for the message." The nurse turned around and quickly ran off again, since she probably had a patient waiting for her. Kun sighed and guided his patient towards the activity room, and when he had closed the door securely, he started walking to the restricted section.

He had managed to avoid it all these weeks, but now he didn't have any choice. The head nurse asked for him.. right? He couldn't say no to the head nurse. He stood in front of the double doors, letting his eyes go over the big letters, warning him to go in with caution. Kun took a deep breath and unlocked the door with a passcode, going inside. He walked through the hallway, searching for the head nurse. "Miss Liu? I'm here..." Kun gasped softly as Miss Liu came from one of the rooms. "Ah, you're here. Good. I need your help with a particular hard to handle patient. Did the other nurses tell you what to do?" Kun gulped and shook his head as he walked after the head nurse to a room far down the restricted section. "When he yells or screams at you, you are allowed to hit him to shut him up. Watch out for his hands, if he grabs you, you'll only get out of his grip by fighting him off. He is possessed by the devil." Kun furrowed his eyebrows. Someone possessed by the devil? So the rumours were true?! Kun almost bumped into the head nurse as she stopped abruptly. "This is his room. I need you to wake him up, bring him to the activity room and wait with him there. I will get him the things he need for the rest of the day. And one more thing.." The head nurse looked straight into Kun's eyes. "If he throws a tantrum, you force him into a straightjacket and bring him to a padded room here in this section."

Kun stepped into the room, looking at the sleeping figure on the bed. The room was clean and white, the only natural colour being the the colour of the boy's hair. Kun glanced back at the door, but the head nurse had already left. Kun turned back to the bed, walking closer. He heard a soft groan, the boy moving slightly. "It's time to get up." Kun said clearly with a slightly raised voice. "I'm going to bring you to the activity room. So get up and follow me." The boy turned around, looking at Kun. Kun tilted his head, giving a stern glare. The boy huffed and turned back again, pulling the blanket over his head. "Hey, okay, you need to listen to me." Kun stepped closer to the bed, pulling the blanket away. The boy sat up and glared at Kun, and Kun could see the anger in his eyes. "I'm sorry, alright? I'm only doing what the head nurse told me. I.. I don't know you. I don't know how to treat you properly." Kun reached out to grab the boy, but his hand got slapped away and an ear piercing scream filled the room. Kun took a few steps back. He took a deep breath and looked at the boy. "Please.. just..  I won't touch you but.. follow me. Listen to me.." The boy threw his pillow at Kun and lied back down. Kun dodged the pillow and sighed, thinking of what to do. "I uhm.. Can I motivate you by saying I'll stay with you for a while? I'll send the head nurse away. We'll be alone." The boy stayed silent, not moving. Kun nodded and sat down on the floor. "I'll wait until you're ready. I have all the time of the world."

Minutes passed and Kun looked at the clock on the wall. He had to do something, the head nurse would be upset if he didn't complete his task. Kun got up again and walked to the bed. "Will you please come with me? I promise I won't hurt you or.. put you in a straightjacket. I'm not like the other nurses." The boy slowly moved and looked at Kun again. Kun smiled softly, reaching out a hand. "Yeah, you can trust me. Come.. I'll guide you." The boy sat up, pushing the blanket off of his body and walking straight to the door, ignoring Kun completely. Kun raised an eyebrow and turned around. "Okay, sure. We can go." Kun walked to the door, unlocking it and letting the boy walk out. "Do you know where we're going?" Kun looked at the lock to close the door again, and glanced back at the boy. He gasped as the boy had already started walking down the hall. "Hey.. Hey! Hey wait!" Kun quickly locked the door, speedwalking to catch up with the boy again. "Wow, you're fast. I guess you're excited, huh?" Kun looked at the boy, who had a blank face, just walking down the hall. Kun tried to figure out what was wrong with the boy. He didn't seem as violent or 'demon-like' as the head nurse had made it sound. Did he have an aggression disorder? Or maybe, he had stopped developing at a certain age? Kun was trying to go down the list of disorders he had learned about. There had to be a reason for why the boy was like this, and it surely wasn't a demon.

As they sat in the activity room, Kun watched the boy. The boy was playing with a piece of paper, making little rips and crinkling it. Kun smiled slightly, as the boy looked so innocent and happy with just a simple piece of paper. "You can entertain yourself with the easy things, huh?" The boy looked at Kun, staring at him for a while. Kun chuckled, tilting his head. "What? Do I look weird? I know, I don't look amazing in a uniform." Kun saw the boy's gaze being locked on something, and he tried to follow where he was looking. He looked down at his chest pocket, seeing the pen. "Oh, you want my pen?" Kun took it out and handed it to the boy, who eagerly grabbed it. He began doodling on the paper in front of him, and Kun watched him closely. The head nurse still hadn't returned, but Kun didn't mind. This way, he could study the boy more, working out which symptoms he showed. Kun desperately wanted to find out what was bothering the boy, because he seemed way too calm and joyful to be a serious patient in a mental institution. Kun saw the boy draw a few shapes, although he couldn't make out what they were. The boy hummed softly, and he began making one continious line, but the pen went off the paper, and the ink was now being scratched into the table. "No.. no no stay on the paper. The table isn't for drawing." Kun got up and walked to the boy, trying to take his hand to guide it back to the paper. The boy whined, not letting go of the pen and scratching the line more on the table. Kun bit his lip, trying to grab him again. "Hey, you need to listen. Come on, I'll get you more paper okay? I'll get you all the paper you want-" Kun looked up as he heard the door of the room unlock, and the head nurse came in. She looked at the boy, and then at Kun. "You let him draw on the table? You gave him a pen?!" Kun blinked and gulped. "I, he just wanted to draw.. I-" "You do not give him weapons!" The head nurse walked to the boy, ripping the pen from his grip. The boy whined loudly, reaching out to grab it again. "Please, he just wants to draw, Miss Liu." "And he will also be holding a murder weapon. He is only allowed to draw with crayons." "I was watching him." "That doesn't matter. You violated the rules." "I didn't even know that was one!" The head nurse glared at Kun, and Kun stepped back, shutting up and looking down. The head nurse looked at the boy, who was still trying to grab the pen. "You won't get anything today." The boy pouted and smashed his fists on the table, clearly upset that he wasn't getting his way. The next moments went so quick, that Kun had trouble with registering what was happening. The head nurse pulled the boy up, the boy screamed, hit the head nurse, and before Kun could even see that the head nurse had grabbed a syringe, the boy was unconscious on the ground. Kun couldn't believe the head nurse had sedated him. Wasn't that too much? The boy was only upset, he only wanted to draw.. how did it escalate to this? The head nurse looked at Kun. "Pick him up and follow me. We're bringing him back to his room." Kun nodded and walked to the boy, carefully picking him up, holding him close. He sighed softly, walking after the head nurse. He looked at the boy's face, whispering softly. "You only wanted to draw. You didn't deserve this."
