ASCLEPIUS

32

"You are under arrest! You have the right to remain sexy~"
_______________________________________

"...reports of a man in his late forties escaping his prison cell only to go and attempt to murder his own daughter is still ongoing as the criminal is still out there and not behind bars.
The Seoul police department are doing everything they can to capture this man and return him back in to custody. More on the matter after the break" the sound of the TV playing in the background as you ate breakfast was only reminding you that yesterday's events were indeed real.

It wasn't a dream afterall.

"Hm? Isn't that the Ascelpius hospital?" You looked up from your scrambled eggs to see your mother in her nightgown and carrying a plate of scrambled eggs before sitting beside you at the dining table.

Not wanting to go in to it, you nodded your head briefly before carrying on as if it was normal.

"You better be careful when coming home! Try and come back with Seokjin, okay?" Which reminds you.

"Where is Jin this morning? Ow!"

"Address him as your Oppa! Don't tell me you've been calling him Jin this whole time?!" If only your mother knew of all the nasty things you wanted to call him instead.

"Fine! I will... so, where is he?"

"He's already gone to work- you should know how early he wakes up" that was right, yesterday you had wanted to wake up earlier than him to go speak to Yoongi but that obviously backfired when he woke up before you to jog his way to work.

"Oh... then I should probably get going, too" you quickly finished up your breakfast and began getting your things before heading towards the door where letters were jammed through the letter box.

Curiously, you reached over to see what they were and the red 'late' stamps that covered them had made it clear what they were.

Your bills were now overdue.

"...Bye, Mum! Call me if you need anything!" And with that, you jumped in to your worn out shoes and left the apartment.

You'd need to find money soon to pay off the bills or else, you'll be evicted.

With Jin now being a tenant, it did help a little but the expenses were more than what he was paying to stay.

To ask him to pay for more would just be embarrassing and rude.

Then again, you did have a job (illegally but it was still a job) and hopefully, if you beat Chief Kim's record, you'll be able to-

"The record! Oh no no no, how many days do I have left?! I'm no where near breaking it!" Now with the drive to get to work sooner, you looked down at your wrist watch, that you had to borrow from your mother since your phone broke, and you saw that the next bus was going to arrive in five minutes.

"Damn it! Come on, Y/N! You can do this!"

--------------------1 hour later--------------------

"I can't do this..." you grumbled before hitting your head against your green locker and shutting it close in the end.

How were you supposed to beat Chief Kim's record of sixty-seven in the space of what little time you had left.

It was going to be difficult at this rate.

"I need to pay the bills though..." you mumbled before banging your head against the locker once again.

Stupid Yoongi! Why did he go on and make a bet like that?! I'm so screwed...

Truthfully, you never really had much faith in yourself ever since you were little.

Your mother was hardly there to cheer you on through your younger years and the amount of friends you had wasn't much.

However, after moving to the city during your high school years, you could finally start anew.

No one would know about your 'curse' and no one knew how delusional your mother was.

Life got easier for you and you could start seeing yourself slowly fitting in to society but, that didn't stop the little thoughts in your head reminding you that you were different.

Your thoughts weren't wrong.

You are different.

"Ahem" the sound of someone clearing their throat beside you brought you back to reality and you realised that it was the rude Doctor Kim that hated your very being.

Confused as to what he wanted, you followed where his eyes were focusing at only to see that you were in the way of his locker.

"Oh- sorry..." you stepped aside and allowed the older to have access to his locker. Without a fuss, he proceeded to go over and open his locker.

Which was abnormal.

Usually, Taehyung would make a big deal out of every little thing that you would do.

You wondered why he was acting this way.

"...no insult?"

"Hm?" He hummed after giving you a perplexes look while buttoning up his lab coat.

"You know, the thing that you do. The 'I have insecurities so I have to bully Y/N to make myself feel better'" you mocked before awaiting his response.

The other clicked his tongue annoyance.

"Wow. And to think, I was going to be a little nicer to you today"

"Why on Ascelpius' earth would you do that?" It made no sense. Yesterday, he wanted you gone and away from him but, he was considering being nicer?

"Because-... you're right. Why on Ascelpius' earth would I do that" and there it came back, the venom in his voice. He slammed his locker shut before marching off in a fit of rage.

You raised a brow at his retreating figure.

"...what a weird guy" you sighed before following him out to where you'll start another day of work in the hospital.
