The Whisper of a Demon

Chapter 2

Minseok POV

A whole month passed in a flash and I felt like I had arrived. My work with Tao has been exhausting to say the least, but I have found ways to support him in his illness. I quickly realized that the Tao was beyond healing, but that didn't stop me from helping him. It was exactly 10 o'clock when I heard voices from Tao's room. Visitors are not permitted at this time and patients should all be in their rooms. I approached carefully. Maybe talk to yourself? It would make everything extremely difficult if he showed symptoms of schizophrenia now. But even when I wasn't quite at the door of his room I noticed a voice that I hadn't heard before! It was gentle and comforting. I could only understand fragments of words but I quickly realized that Tao was talking about me! I froze and leaned closer to the door to hear more. But suddenly the voice was gone and silence spread. I took a step back and suddenly the door opened! A man perhaps a little older than me was now standing in front of me. His dark eyes were spotted and my heart started racing! He looked at me questioningly. His dark brown hair that fell lightly on his face brought out his face. He has narrow cheeks and his lips were neither too big nor too narrow! His tight-fitting shirt told me that he was well built and his narrow hips, which were dressed in black leather pants, made him look a little feminine. By and large, he just looked like he'd come out of a comic book and I couldn't help but stare. I swallowed my lump in my throat. "May I ask who you are? The visitor times are long gone," I managed with difficulty and his grin that slowly formed showed me his perfect teeth. "I know that much too, Dr Kim. But am I not allowed to visit my patient?" he replied, amused. His voice took my breath away. I couldn't really describe the emerging feelings, but a warmth rose within me. The stranger's eyes wouldn't let me look away and I felt trapped. I felt dizzy for a moment, but I tried not to let it show. "Oh ... I didn't know you worked here." I stammered, embarrassed. He's probably one of the day working psychologists. "But..

why do you know my name? "I asked puzzled. Had I possibly seen him before? I was suddenly unsure. His slight smile remained and a little laugh escaped his lips. "Tao talks a lot about you. I'm Dr Byun, Byun Baekhyun. "I froze when his name was mentioned. He's Baekhyun? The Baekhyun that Tao always talks about? Dr Byun held out his hand, which I politely took." Dr Kim, Kim Minseok ... "However, my greeting got stuck halfway in my throat when I suddenly had this feeling! The same tingling sensation that I felt the first time I met Tao! With one crucial difference: the feeling seemed to spread. After a few seconds my arm felt like it was asleep and I lost control of my strength. My eyes widened and even if I wanted to let go, I couldn't! Despair crept through me and I felt Dr Byuns look at me . "Interesting" he muttered this and suddenly the feeling disappeared! It was as if it had never been there! I quickly pulled my hand away and didn't know what to say now. Did he feel that too? I brought myself Just look at him but there was nothing to be seen in his face. He was still grinning and when our eyes met my heart started racing again! What's wrong with me. The closing of Tao's door made me startle a little. When I returned my attention to Dr Byun I saw that he took a step forward! I didn't know what he wanted but I felt like I had to take a step back. The problem with the whole thing was simply that Dr Byun didn't stop but kept stepping forward. Every single step he took, I backed up until I finally stood against the wall. "Ummm, Dr Byun ... I ..." I couldn't finish when his hand grabbed mine and he began to press his body against me. My throat just got stuck when I felt Dr Byun's breath on my throat. His nose rubbed my skin like she was looking for something. I didn't know what was happening to me and continued to stiffen. "Interesting ... you smell not only like us but also like human..." his words and his warm breath made me shudder. What the hell is he talking about? I tried to catch myself but I just couldn't mobilize any strength to push him away. I was frozen!

An eternity seemed to pass but suddenly he let go of me! I stared at him in shock. "What ..." I started but he intervened. "Kim Minseok ... it looks like we both have a problem." he realized before turning and leaving. This whole action confused me to no end and I stood there for a few more minutes without moving. What was that just now ???
