Mijoo felt nauseous and rushed to the toilet. Not much came out. The door bell kept ringing nonstop. She shuffled her way to the front door and unlocked it. The guard is here. 'Miss, I got a phone call from your work place and had to come down to check on you. Are you alright? You don't look so good.' It didn't take long before she passed out. The guard was on time and catched her.
Linda panicked when she received a phone call. 'Junn!! I gotta go. Take care of things for today. Oh God.' Junn nodded his head. She made her way to Daehyun's office. 'Sir. I have to go to miss Mijoo. She has fainted. This never happened. Why all of a sudden?' Tim was also in the office with Daehyun. They both stood up. 'Faint? She fainted again? I need to see her too. We'll take my car. Damn it!' They flew out of the office as Tim watched them go.
It was busy in the hospital. Everyone was running around. Linda asked for Mijoo from the desk clerk. 'Miss Mijoo is staying in room 3004.' The two took the elevator to the third floor. Once they saw the room 3004, Linda walked as fast as she can, opened the door and saw Mijoo laying on the bed. She was awake. 'Miss are you okay? Do you have any idea how much I panicked when I received that phone call?' Mijoo looked at Linda and did her best to smile. 'It's fine. The doctor said that the painkillers I got yesterday and the stress hit the peak. I fainted because the lack of sleep and rest.' Linda slowly inhaled and exhaled. 'And nothing else?' She shook her head. 'Nothing. I swear.'
Daehyun walked in. He came close but Mijoo paniced. Her heart beating faster and faster. 'Mijoo? Is it that pain attack again?' He asked, but Mijoo had this horror on her face. 'Stop. Don't come closer than that. Please, stay there.' She was about to fall out of the bed but just in time gathered her strength and grabbed the bed. Her eyes became glassy as tears rolled down. It's as if she saw a ghost. Daehyun froze. He even took a step back. Linda was confused. Pain attack? And why is Miss acting like as if seen a dead person?
'I'll take if from here, sir. For now, I'll bring her to my house. It would be a bad idea to leave Miss alone.' Daehyun nodded and was about to take a step forward and. 'Get out! Don't you dare to come at me.' Mijoo began to raise her voice. Daehyun had a painful face on. He made his hand into a fist and left the room. Linda was holding her. It looked like she was about to break apart if someone didn't hold onto her. 'Miss Mijoo, what happened to you?'
Linda unlocked her studio. She hold Mijoo's hand and guided her inside and let her sit on the light pink couch. She poured water and put in on the table. 'Did you eat? Sit there and I'll cook for you.' The pan was on the stove, the room soon smelled of food. Linda poured the soup in a large bowl and served it. 'You have to eat and tell me what happened and why you reached out to sir Daehyun like that.' Mijoo eyed Linda.
'I have these weird dreams lately. It tires me out. And this time it was awful.' Linda listened with patiences. As Mijoo proceeded.
'It began ever since Daehyun came to the office. He and I are high school classmates. But I had this infinite crush on him. And when I saw him after so many years, it triggered. I began to see him in my dreams, but I couldn't move my body. He came at me and... ' She felt silence for a while.
'It's a dream but. He came at me and did things. It looks like him but it's not him. And today I... He killed Tim in my dreams and in front of the blood covered corpse, that thing raped me. It's not real and yet I treated the real one like the monster from my nightmare. I want it to stop.'
A mind blowing experience. Linda was frozen. What should she do? What can she say to Mijoo? 'It's good that you can separate reality from fiction. I'm sure that Daehyun will understand you. How do you want me to help you? I'll do anything in my power to help you. First of all, do you want to stay the night? Or maybe the weekend?' Mijoo nodded her head. 'You don't mind?'
'Absolutely not!'
Daehyun returned to the office. He was suddenly surrounded by the others.
'Is miss Mijoo alright?'
'How is boss?'
'She is alright, the doctor said she failed duo to stress and lack of sleep. It's almost weekend so she should be resting. And we need to help her out. If we for today can finish as much as we can. She'll be happy next Monday.'
Every one did their best and finishes their work in time and did more. They were all hoping to make Mijoo happy next Monday.
Tim walked to Daehyun. 'What happened?' Tim glared at Daehyun. 'She is fine. Just worn her body out.' Tim wasn't satisfied with his answer. 'I should have gone to her.' Daehyun let out a smile. 'I'm sure that it would have been better if you did go, yeah.' He whispered to himself.
Linda gave Mijoo painkillers and pushed her in bed. 'You need to sleep, I'm here if you need anything. Alright?' She nodded.
As soon as Mijoo laid down. Linda hurries to the kitchen and called Daehyun. It only ringed once and he answered. 'Is she alright?'
'Don't worry, I gave her painkillers and made her go to bed. Can you come once you are done with work? I'll send you the address. Thank you.' Linda hung up before Daehyun could reply.
