"Come on, I'm fit to go now. Please discharge me already, nurse." Eunbi emitted a disgruntled gasp, for no matter how much she pleaded the hospital staff, they just would not let her go.

Her supposed guardian for the time-being, Captain Min Yoongi, had left her to survive on her own for almost a week now. No one visited her to gather how she had been doing after the accident, or whether her injuries happened to heal during this period of isolation or not. Eunbi had not taken the neglect to her heart, though. After all, Yoongi had a whole precinct to lead. Moreover, it was not like he was aware of who Eunbi really was.

"My joints are seriously going to get rusted at this rate! You're infringing my basic human rights by keeping me locked in here like this! I'm an adult and very capable of taking care of my own—"

"Woah, relax Technician Nam. No one here is violating your rights. It was me who had asked them not to set you free, atleast until I myself had come here to fetch you. I see your arm is alright," Yoongi took a pause as he approached Eunbi only to accusingly point his index finger at her elbow joint, and continued, "you were even swinging punches up in the air a while back."

Yoongi had almost managed to conceal the amusement that was crawling onto his face, but a tad of recklessness from his side regarding Eunbi being clueless about his intentions eventually caused him to crack a sardonic cackle. Unlike the usual watchful demeanor that Yoongi had always possessed, the man somehow blew up his cover all by himself.

"W—what's so funny about me throwing punches in the air?" Eunbi bit her lip hesitantly, uncertain about why Yoongi was suddenly behaving like a hormonal teenager.

"Nothing, absolutely nothing. It's just your bewildered face that's making me laugh so much, oh my." Yoongi's laughs were reduced to mild giggles with time, due to him being finally able to absorb how Eunbi had never found his joke funny to begin with. Ushering his groggy voice into the awkward silence, he muttered, "Nevermind."

"What took you so long, Yoon—" Eunbi abruptly cut herself off, which she otherwise would not have, considering how she had decided to whine her way out of the hospital, "Captain Min, I mean." She completed.

"See, that was why I had given you that application form, so that you could change your guardi—"

"But I don't have a guardian and apparently, you can't fill your own name in that blank!"

"That's why I had given you that choice in the first place." Yoongi shrugged his shoulders in a manner that screamed I-knew-it-all.

"You practically made me choose between staying in the hospital and staying in the hospital." Eunbi glared at Yoongi, receiving an eyebrow-raise back from the same person. Assuming that it was a gesture probably spurred by her disrespectful behavior, she immediately picked up, "Sir."

"I had this feeling that you would try to run away from the hospital, hurting yourself even more than you already were. And I guess that my hunch turned out to be right?" Yoongi rather posed his statement as a question, making Eunbi ponder upon the irrelevant attempt.

"You did enough for me by admitting me into a hospital. I mean, I'm still an employee whom you aren't obliged to look afte—"

"Just so you know Technician Nam, my workforce is my family. Now that you're working under me, you've become a part of that family too. And seriously, you need to kick such thoughts out of your mind." Yoongi sat down beside Eunbi, showcasing his adorable smile without any prior notice.

Eunbi was rendered flustered, which Yoongi instantly observed, "Since we're at it, and since you live alone and are new to Seoul, let me be your local tour guide. I wanna make up to you for like— endless number of things, from shouting at you on your very first day to leaving you here all alone. I'm calling you my family, right? I need to ensure that you're enjoying your stay in the city while you're still here." Yoongi finished, scratching his earlobe as he awaited Eunbi's response.

"I'll be... so honored to be made to roam around the city by you, Yoon—I mean, sir. You really don't need to go beyond your limits for me..." Eunbi dragged her words when she noticed Yoongi's face turning into a displeased one, making her press her lips into a thin line because of her peccadillo.

"Forget what I just said? Thank you." Eunbi pleaded meekly, leading Yoongi to sway his head in response to her innocence.

"Meet me at seven pm tomorrow." He made it short, leaving his seat subsequently. As he began to walk off to the hospital reception for the purpose of payment of bills and the female's check out from the hospital, he was made to halt his feet when a curious Eunbi asked from behind.

"Where will we be going?"

"To Itaewon, for bar-hopping. Maybe catch one or two minors in there too and suspend some of them bars' licenses." Yoongi smirked to himself as he refocused on his route to the reception.

i'm sorry i might sound a bit harsh today, but i think that if i don't speak what i want to, it'll kill me from the inside.
there were about 10-15 ppl who hyped me on the "intro" chapter and then bailed out on me. i mean, you're definitely not obliged to read my crappy books and whatsoever, but still...
also, silent readers (if there are some) it doesn't hurt to leave a vote or a comment. it'll only boost my morale and make me happy.

again, i'm sorry if my words seem hurtful.
