The thing with love is;
no matter the distance,
no matter the resistance,
the string between the both of you
will always pull you both back
to one another.

"So I'm going to be spending the rest of Christmas break in the hospital?"

Seulgi and Joohyun exchange a brief glance before facing back towards Byulyi, with Shiah's lingering glance towards the silver-haired girl to all the other figures across the room on the side, sitting in one of the chairs. The doctor, Dr. Seo Yeji, writes something down on her clipboard before facing back towards Byulyi with her sharp facial features: the shape of her alluring eyes gave her an intimidating resting appearance.

"We'll have to keep you on evaluation watch for some time," she says, her voice low to Byulyi's surprise. "As you know, we have already expressed our concerns towards your self-inflicted injuries as stated by Miss Kang. Patients dealing with this factor have to progress through a temporary evaluation watch. We ask that you give us your full participation within this assessment, which means you must answer a few questions that we will give you. Honesty is a full requirement."

Byulyi takes a moment to sink the words in her system, feeling the anxiety bubble inside of her. She had to answer questions? It was like she was being interrogated for something. She felt guilty of herself for all of the stuff she had done to herself, like her scars, and how self-conscious it makes her. Also her figure, her weight, how she always thought she was never enough and how much she changed herself.

"We have the right to keep you here under our care even if you decline or sign out of the facility," Dr. Seo continues, securing the clipboard under the sleeve of her armpit, giving a small smile towards Byulyi. "I know it must be hard for you, but it's protocol here for patients like you. And from what I'm seeing so far with your current condition, you are healing quite smoothly with your injuries, but that's not entirely the problem here. Do you understand?"

Byulyi pulls some of her silver strands behind her ear, inhaling a deep breath, "Y-Yeah, I understand, thank you."

Dr. Seo bows briefly to everyone in the room, stating softly, "I'll come back in a few hours so we can get started." before leaving the room to all the girls just standing there in complete silence. However a loud ring from a phone startles all of them𑁋mainly Joohyun who seemed to get surprised pretty easily𑁋before all faces turn towards a wide-eyed Seulgi who reaches in the grab the phone out of her pocket, scurrying out of the room to go take it. Byulyi didn't really think much of it at first, not bothering to question the phone call. Maybe it was regarding work or something.

Byulyi sits back in bed, trying to adjust her body into a more comfortable position by nearly failing doing so. Her skin still felt dry and rough, and the plaster around her ankle and arm made her feel more heated up than usual.
