Filling the Empty Space

Unexpected: Chapter 2

[Kalie's POV]

While at the nurse's station...

♡ "Jump" playing on the background

I am bobbing my head along with the music as I read some articles from the net when suddenly an interesting article caught my attention.
ALLKPOP: "BTS successfully ended their TRB Part 2 concert in the Philippines."
"Nooooooooo! My boys!!! I wasn't able to see them! I wanna cry!", I pull my hair in desperation as I scream.
I wasn't able to attend the 3 day concert because I have a night shift duty in the hospital that day and no one is available to fill in my shift. And tonight is the last night of the concert.
I just put my head on the table hopelessly.

Riiing... Riiing... Riiing... the intercom rang.

"Gosh! Who's calling now? It's already 2am." I wonder who's calling and I'm silently praying it's not an emergency case.

"Good evening, this is the Operating Room, Kalie speaking, how can I help you?"

"Good evening Ma'am, this is Emergency Department, I just wanna ask for your help down here." The other line said.

"Why? Are there many patients at the ER now?" I asked.

"No ma'am. But we have a foreign patient here and they are not fluent in English. They said they are Koreans, I know you're currently studying Hangul, so I'm asking if you could give us a hand here so we can take the patient's health history properly."

"Okay, I'll be down there in a minute."
I ended the call. First thing I did was to pick up my hand phone just in case I need a translator. I admit, I'm not that fluent in Hangul. It's just 5 months since I started learning the language.

Once I entered the ER I asked Toper, our ER nurse, where is the patient and what seems to be the problem.

"Sir Toper, where is the patient? And who's with him?"

"They are at Bed 3 and the only word I understand from them is manager and hot. But it seems the patient has fever and his ankle is swollen. Our resident doctor can't call an Orthopedist (doctor who specializes with bones and fracture) not until she had the history."

"I got it. I'll go talk to them."

"Thank you Ma'am Kalie."

As I come closer to the 3rd bed, I can hear them talking in Hangul but I can't see them because of the curtains drawn to cover them. Somehow, their voices were too familiar to me but I can't figure out where have I heard those voices.

"Jinjja gwenchanha?" a low calm voice said. <Are you really okay?>

"Ai, gwenchanha hyung. Geugeoseun apeuji anhayo." another voice answered. <I'm fine hyung. It doesn't hurt.>

"Ppoppo joha?" <You like a kiss?> a small feminine-like voice said.

"Aish jinjja! Neo michyeosseo!?" <Aish really! Are you crazy?> another low but cheerful voice said. Then they burst out laughing.

I peeked thru the curtains and saw who the patient is.

"Oh my God!" I blurted out as I gasped in surprise.
They all turned their heads on my direction and now they are all staring at me with confused look on their faces.

Patient: "Pardon?"

"A-- I-- I mean, Oh my God! I forgot to bring my pen." I quickly turned my back from them and walked away.
I went to a corner where no one can see me and I tried to calm myself.

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!" I silently squealed. "What on earth did I saw just a while ago? Is it really Jungkook? Jeon Jungkook? Bangtan's Golden Maknae? A while ago, I was just whining about not being able to go to their concert and now, they are in front of me! Otteoke? Otteoke? Otteoke?" I lightly bang my head on the wall.

If somebody sees me that time, they'll think I'm losing my sanity. Maybe I'm really going crazy. There's no way Bangtan can reach this place. But I'm not hallucinating. I saw Jungkook lying on the bed, Suga, Jimin and Taehyung are standing beside him.
I took number of deep breaths to calm myself, I composed myself and returned to the ER.

that I gathered up the courage to publish this book. Hahaha! I'm not confident on my writing skills. Actually I hate formal writing when I was a student so please bear with me and my cheesy, boring and confusing story. :)
