Tempted

Tempted Ch.1

"Ventricullar fibrillation!!!"

"We're loosing him!!!"

"Too 200!"
I yell.

"Move!!!"
I scream at the new interns.

"1-2-3"
I press the defibrillator against his bare chest. My eyes on a constant battle between the patient and the electrocardiogram.

His lifeless body twitches from the electroshock.

"THIRD ATTEMPT!"

Everyone in the room went silent. Their eyes we're darted at the mans body watching me attempting my third try.

"1-2-3"

A cargo of 1000 volt which makes 10 ampere electric shocks in total are rushing through his body.
My nerves are on fire as I wipe the sweat from my forehead.

"FOURTH ATTEMPT BUT MAKE IT 300!!!!"
I demand, making the Intern jump.

"HURRY!!!"

The mans body jumps a last time as the electro diagram starts beeping again.
I rush to the front and perform a heart rhythm massage, starting to fight for his conciousness.

"OXYGEN! STOP WATCHING! MOVE!"
I scream furious at the Interns.
A girl about my age rushes to the front and presses the ventilation mask onto his face.

"He's stable. We got him."
I breathe out in relief and nod towards a nurse.
"Could you get the BGA for some tests?"

She obeys and leaves me alone with a bunch of inexperienced interns.
"Listen up! This isn't a game where you can sit back and watch the other player do it's move. NEXT TIME YOU'LL OBSERVE AND ACT!"
My voice raises.

This is the third week that I've to accompany these idiots and til now they've learned nothing.
I shake my head in disbelief.
As the BGA team arrives I stamp out of the room, smashing the door behind me.

This was the tenth time in a row I had to handle a cardiac emergency for today and all this teenagers could do was standing around.

"Lee Seohyun!"

A voice calls after me.
My feet stop and I turn around.

"Here's your iced frappuccino."
Kathelyn smiles at me as she hands me my fifth Starbucks order.
"I couldn't thank you enough."
I smile in exhaustion and open the door to my office.

"You've received a special call half an hour ago."
She follows me to my room and hands me a phone number.
"Oh let me guess...an old patient who can't thank me enough, inviting me to a dinner?! Tell them it's my job and they don't have to thank me."
I hand her the note.

She shakes her head.
"No-no. You got that wrong. Uterlly wrong." She smiles suspiciously.

"Listen I've had a rough day and still I have loads of paperwork to finish. Would you do me the favor and explain them that I-

"Just call him back-
She winks at me and leaves my office.

Gosh...
I'm never gonna finish.

I slide the note into my pocket and return to my work.

----------
11pm

"Thank you! Have a good night. Tell Randy that I've completed the paperwork for station 1 and 4 when he arrives."

I smile at the receptionist and enter the coldness of an autumn night.

The bitter smell of chestnuts and acorns crawl up my nose and I enjoy the sound of old leaves crushing under my heels.
My apartment was only a few blocks away from my hospital and yes you've heard it right.

I am the proud owner and chief of a whole hospital isn't that exciting?!
After I left the boarding school for Oxford I realized that I'm only a few steps away from my dream.
Jungkook handed me 10 stacks of cash and I learned how to invest it.
After that I left Oxford to accomplish my dreams.

I haven't talked to them since then.
We decided to go separate ways.
Bangtan quit school to reach their dreams aswell and so did I.
After alot of tears we decided that it would be best for all to go out and reach out for the stars.
Ofcourse we promised each other to stay in contact but time flowed by so easily that there was no time for it.
Taehyung and I had alot of fights and disagreements. It hadn't worked out so we broke up.
We were too young to understand that we couldn't be forever.

I was only 15 by that time.

Suddenly a leave crunches a few feet  behind me and I'm 100 percent sure it wasn't me.
I turn around but there was noone to be found so I speed up my steps and turn around the corner towards the huge building.

The doors slide open and I hurry towards the elevator.
I nearly punch the button to the 7th floor and to my relief the elevators doors closed within seconds.

Back in my apartment I lock the door two times.
I had nobody than myself.
There was nobody there to protect me in case that-

I shrug this feeling off immediately.
NO. I don't need anybody to feel safe. I'm a powerful independent woman who doesn't need anybody else.

"The most alluring thing a woman can have is confidence..."
Beyonce once said...

With this thought I take off my coat.

THE NOTE...
I remember and search through my coat.

I grab my phone and dial in the number.
I take a deep breath.

"You got this. I mean- what's so special? It's probably another patient... nothing to be worried about."
I mumble.

It seems like forever as someone picks up the phone.
"Hello-uhm-

"LEE SEOHYUN?!"
The other person shouts and I almost got a heart attack.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!
TEMPTED IS THE CONTINUATION OF BADBOY SHADOW AND I'M ALMOST PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT I GOT OVERWHELMED BY A SUDDEN BRAINSTORM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!
Anyways thanks for checking in.
Hope you'll stay til the end 💗
