She's quiet (Twice Mina x Dahyun FF)

Chapter 2

Tuesday 09.01

Dahyun and Greyson arrived in the treatment room shortly after Kang Minju did. The woman broke her left arm and needed a new bandage. The young nurse motioned the patient to sit down. Greyson handed her the tools and they began. After about 5 minutes the job was finished. The woman wished for a hot pink bandage and now showed it off to her boyfriend who sat in the corner the whole time. Dahyun didn't even realize he was there until she was finished.

When they left, Dahyun realized that she totally lost the track of time. A look at the clock told her that it was 9:15 am. Already that late? It certainly didn't feel like that. "By the way, what are you doing in your free time?", Dahyun asked Greyson. He didn't hesitate to answer. "I like to read and write sometimes. If I CAN write is another topic. I also play golf. I'm not a professional, but it's fun regardless. Sounds boring to you, doesn't it?" He smiled. "What about you?" She thought for a second. "I like to read too, but I don't have much time to do so. I prefer watching stuff. I'm a big fan of thrillers and horror. You'll probably only find that kind of book in my apartment. What genres are you into?" Carefully, she walked down the steps. "I like fantasy and thrillers. I'm not big on horror, but maybe I just haven't found the right one. Hold on Dahyun, we need to go left and not right. We have to bring a Kim Seoho to the cafeteria. I'd recommend to take money with you in case you're hungry.

She took her wallet out of her pocket. 13.000 Won*  should be enough. They walked to the room of Seoho in silence. Mr. Kim was a middle aged men that got injured in a car accident. Dahyun took Greyson's Clipboard, while he pushed Seoho's wheelchair to the cafeteria.

* (around 10 Euros)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that's how she sat in the cafeteria, nibbling on her sandwich. Greyson sat next to her and Seoho infront of him. She documented everything she had done today and didn't notice a young woman staring at her. She sat right across her and was cuddled into a sky blue blanket. When Greyson saw her he seemed to be very surprised. The brown-haired woman stared into Dahyun's eyes. They radiated fear and sadness but also something else. Dahyun couldn't tell. She had the weird feeling that she had seen this woman before. "After your work. Here.", the woman demanded and left. 

Greyson blinked at Dahyun in confusion. "That was Myoui Mina. You'll see her here often. To be honest and all, the staff doesn't even know why she is here in the first place. She usually doesn't talk a lot, let alone with strangers. I think you should go. She must like you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Dahyun was finished with work, all she wanted to do was to take a nap and have a nice dinner. It was 10pm by now. She was used to working in big hospitals, but this one really took the cake. Changing your clothes started to look like a big task when all you wanted to do is to sleep. Greyson left right after his shift was over, but she stayed because of Mina. She couldn't let the thought of knowing her go. Dahyun couldn't place when or where she saw her before.

Dahyun stared out of the huge floor to ceiling windows, her hands clasped around a paper cup filled with tea. She observed the Park that was lit by the street lights. It was quiet now, except for some doctors running around from time to time. It was almost peaceful. As peaceful as a hospital can get, Dahyun thought to herself while taking another sip of the hot beverage. She waited for almost ten minutes now. She closed her eyes while listening to the soft hum of music coming through her headphones.

Mina's Pov

She could trust her, right? She knew that her feelings overwhelmed her when she asked the nurse. Mina fought with herself, wether she should step out or not. But she looked exactly like her... The nurse didn't seem to remember anything. Remember her. 

Mina took her pillow and threw it against the wall. She was done with herself. The young nurse could help Mina. She had to get her to remember. She just had to. Mina took her blanket and wrapped it around her. It still smelled like her. The one she sacrificed everything for, just to loose her again. Thinking about it made her sad and angry at herself. Mina took her phone and a bit money. Slowly, she opened the door to not attract any unwanted attention. Quietly she sneaked through the corridors, down to the cafeteria, where the nurse already waited for her.

Mina wrapped herself in the blanket like a burrito. That's just how she felt safe and protected, even though it looks silly. When she stepped into the cafeteria she saw the young woman taking a sip out of a paper cup. Her brown eyes shined in the light of the street lamp. She should talk with her. But how should she start. She figured that "Hey, I saw you when my life went to shit" wasn't the best option. Maybe she should just start with a simple "Hello". Yeah, that would do it.

"There you are. I'm Kim Dahyun", the woman, apparently Dahyun said. Mina was so deep in thought, that she totally forgot that Dayhun could see her. "Hey, yes I...", Mina started and sat herself next to Dahyun. "I usually sit here during day time." "That's what you wanted to tell me?",  chuckled Dahyun. "No! That's not... No.", Mina exclaimed. "Do you... Do you remember me?", she stammered "No. Yes. I'm not quite sure to be honest with you. I think I saw you somewhere, but I don't know where or when.", Dahyun answered truthfully. 

Mina wasn't surprised but still kind of disappointed. Well, what did she expect? "I'm sorry to have wasted your time.", Mina excused and stood up. She motioned to leave, but Dahyun held her at the blanket. "What's on your mind Mina?" This wasn't the first time she heard this question, but Dahyun sounded like she actually cared. The young woman just stared at a point behind Dahyun, trying to figure out what to say. Should she say the truth, remind her of what happened? "I just... Uhm. Well, I just thought you would remember a certain event. Have you ever been to Busan?" Dahyun looked at her in surprise. "Yes, I used to live there. Why?" Mina thought carefully of her next words. "It's just... I thought you might be able to help me" "Help you with what?" Mina played with the edges of her blanket. "I will tell you another time." She bolted out of the room. This time Dahyun didn't try to stop her.

Thank you for reading this chapter. I'm surprised by how many people read the first one. Thank you, truly. I might be translating the third chapter right after uploading this. If you find any grammar mistakes etc. make sure to tell me. This chapter got a bit longer than the original, but I prefer this one over the original second chapter. Let me know what you think.

(I adjusted the lines for people reading on Pc. Let me know if it's better now)

Until then Mooncakes
