Tomorrow With You (ChanBaek)

Chapter Forty Seven

He could feel a hand holding his as the nurse injected the needle through his vein and let the IV fluid flow inside his system. It took the nurse a generous amount of time while he checked the bag if the medicine is dripping properly before walking out of the room.

Chanyeol immediately opened his eyes when the door closed and checked if he is finally alone in his room. The dim lit room left a little for Chanyeol to observe as he reached for his right hand and pulled the needle out of his vein.

Jisoo left his phone for Chanyeol to use and the first thing he did was to call Min Jae. The phone kept ringin but Min Jae was not answering his calls. He tried calling again and a couple more times, but nothing changed. At this point, the only thing he could do is hope that Jisoo and Min Jae already met, and wait as they plan their route to escape.

He heard a sudden rustle outside of his room and he went back to pretending he was asleep. His eyes were closed but he could sense the beaming light coming from the slightly open door touching his face. Beads of sweat started forming on his forehead, nervous in getting caught from taking off the needle from his hand. The heat on his face from the light outside the room did not last long as the door finally closed again, and a heavy sigh of relief left his now quivering lips.

Hours went by, and Chanyeol still could not sleep. His mind is preoccupied by their plan, and not a single call from Min Jae and Jisoo ever came. He felt a little nervous thinking about what they are about to do, he gave it a generous amount of time to think if he is doing the right thing. He knew he should stay, but something about the trust he has on his dad is lost and is hard to bring back. He wanted to trust him again but his mind could not.

Dawn has come and Chanyeol is still awake. The sun is starting to rise when he immediately closed his eyes after hearing the door open. Someone walked beside his bed, and he slowly grabbed on the sheets, hoping the nurse would not notice that the IV drip is still almost full.

"Chanyeol.." someone whispered. "Chanyeol, are you asleep?"

Chanyeol peeked and was relieved to see Jisoo standing beside his bed. He immediately sat up and saw Min Jae coming in, with a duffle bag on his hand.

"Are you okay?" Jisoo asked.

"Yeah."

"What about the drug?"

"I took it off last night. Just a few went through my veins until the nurse left, but I'm fine." Chanyeol said.

"Good. The car is in the parking lot. There are bags there with clothes and money. You can't use your card or else your location will be detected." Min Jae said.

"What are those?" Chanyeol asked looking at the bag Min Jae is holding.

"This is your ticket out of here."

He opened the bag and two pairs of scrub suits were inside as well as a white doctor's gown. Min Jae gave him the white coat and tossed a pair of scrub suit to Jisoo.

"We can't take Baekhyun out of his room ourselves, so we'll take him out disguising as his nurses." Min Jae said.

"Where did you get these?" Jisoo asked, surprised.

"I roamed around the hospital."

"Nice! Should we change into them?"

"Go ahead. And make it quick. We only have a few minutes left before Baekhyun is scheduled to go out of his room."

Jisoo started stripping in front of them and both Min Jae and Chanyeol whined and covered their eyes. Chanyeol went to the bathroom and changed his pants and shirt, as well as putting on a pair of rubber shoes. The doctor's coat fit him well and a pair of glasses is the perfect touch in his final look. He went out of the bathroom and saw Min Jae and Jisoo already dressed up and ready to go.
