[Nurse] Min Yoongi's P.O.V.
The situation with the two patients in Room 316 was gonna be difficult. I approached the waiting room knowing exactly who Jung Hoseok was0 and I'd been informed he was the one who'd come in with Park Jimin. How the hell am I going to explain this to my supervisor? What would I say to them for lying to the person who had come in with a patient or the guy who ran the site where the person was found. Fuck. This was going to get messy, I could feel it.
I decided to notify my supervisor before saying anything and headed straight to his office. Knocking on his door I waited with bated breath to be allowed in.
"Nurse Min. Is there something I can do for you?" Dr. Wang looked up from his computer and queried. I nodded and gave him the rundown that the person who came in with patient 141018-PJM allegedly had a previous history of abusing the patient and I wasn't sure what to do. "Has the patient been identified and do we hold the records of the patient being admitted previously?" Dr. Wang probed for more information. I handed my supervisor the thick file I'd gotten from the Records Department.
"Yes Sir. Patient 141018 is identified as one Mr. Park Jimin. 23 year old male admitted with mild hypothermia, lacerations to his arms and leg, some possibly self inflicted. Dehydrated and slightly malnourished, assessment has been made that it's approximately eight weeks because the severity isn't concerning yet. Park Jimin was first admitted to Seoul Hospital six years ago for minor concussion and dislocated shoulder. Over the following 15 months Park Jimin was admitted a minimum of once every two weeks, the injuries gradually becoming more severe and the admissions became more frequent, one admission every three to five days. The reasons he gave for coming in with such injuries were believed to be falsified and though he arrived alone for the first eight months then a Mr. Jeon Jeongguk was the person who attended his admissions with him for the following seven months. The person currently sharing a room with him is the same Mr. Jeon Jeongguk who previously came in with Mr. Park Jimin. Park Jimin was eventually admitted to our off-site psychiatric facility in Ilsanseo-gu where he stayed for eight months and three days, after which he was released into the care of Son Dongmyeong as he was deemed well enough to function normally in society. Mr. Park hasn't returned to Seoul Hospital for any reason between then and now."
Dr. Wang murmured, his fingers tapping his keyboard quickly and bringing up the patients' health records. "Mn. I see. You are saying the person responsible for his initial injuries is the person who came in the ambulance with Park today?" "Yes Sir. I have been informed by the patient sharing Room 316 that Park Jimin's abuser has not been in contact with him since his last admittance into Seoul Hospital six years ago. I was asked questions that I felt I needed to answer so I can get a clearer perspective in consideration to Mr. Park's safety given his current physical condition. I have been told by Mr. Jeon that he is severely concerned for Mr. Park's safety and state of mind if he comes into contact with his former abuser." I explained, reciting what Jeongguk had told to me in the room.
"Mn. Did Mr. Jeon give you the name of the alleged abuser of Mr. Park?" I nodded, "No Sir. Park Jimin himself did. He is conscious and is communicating with Jeongguk, uh, Mr. Jeon, using morse code. The alleged abuser's name is Jung Hoseok. The person who controls the building site where the patient was found is Mr. Kim Namjoon." Dr. Wang nodded thoughtfully. "Okay. Take me to the person who accompanied Mr. Park in and I'll take care of things from here but I require you to stay in the room so you can write a detailed report of the situation to include in Mr. Park's file. Understood?" I felt a smile twitch my lips up and a heavy breath escape my chest. I hadn't realised how tense I was about the situation.
There was a heavy silence as I let out a breath I was holding. "Come here, Yoongi." Dr. Wang motioned for me to come closer. I did so and was surprised when he opened his arms, embracing me and placing a short kiss on my cheek. "Hey, don't be so worried about coming to see me Yoon, I may be your supervisor at work but you know I'll always have your back. Unless you abuse your position or me, but you won't do that." I smiled and allow myself to relax into his embrace. "I know Bo. It's just, I went to school with Jimin. I know Hoseok was a big part of the reason Min ended up in the psychiatric hospital and I don't want to be the person to expose Jimin to his past again if I can avoid it.
"I can tell you more than that though," I admitted. "You know I went BangTan Secondary College, yeah? So did they. Jimin and Hoseok used to be practically joined at the hip and they were what you'd describe as the ultimate power-couple, even though they were just friends, you know? I don't know what happened between them, nobody really did since neither of them'd talk about it but I remember one Friday they were completely fine, best friends and joined at the hip, but the following Monday there were so many feral rumors circulating all over school, all over the internet, just everywhere. Jimin's supposed best friend didn't bother to stand up for him or protect him at all.
"Hoseok shunned Jimin publicly and actually joined in the bullying. It started as what I'd describe as fairly harmless teasing but it got worse and I could see that every insult from Jung himself hurt Jimin, it was like I could almost see the cuts being made on his skin from the words. By the end of the first day his eyes were so puffy I remember wondering if he could even see anything because of how much he'd been crying from how much pain his best friend had caused him. Hoseok and his gang of bullies threatened that if anyone helped, and I quote here, that 'if anyone helps the tiny, gay faggot whore they'll leave school in an ambulance or a casket'." I still trembled at the memory because I wasn't able to stand up to them at the time and Yibo rubbed circles on my back with his broad hands.
"The school did fucking nothing about it and it went on for over a year. What started as schoolyard shit quickly turned into cyber bullying from all over the place and then physical beatings. Then one day Jimin just- he- he disappeared. Vanished like he was never there in the first place. Nobody gave a shit and there was rumours he was dead and things like that, people laughing and making fun of someone who'd never done a single damn thing to hurt anyone! All he did was say one thing to one fucking person and it destroyed his life. It was over a month before I found out what happened to him. You remember my friends Dongmyeong, Hwanwoong and Wonho?
"Well, I was over at their place one time 'cause we were working on some songs I was helping produce for Onewe and Wonho, but anyway, the guys asked me if I wanted to tag along when they visited a friend in hospital and when I found out it was Jimin I bawled my eyes out. The Park Jimin who had disappeared and everyone thought or assumed was dead. Kanghyun told me he'd found Jimin literally bleeding out behind the gym and they raced him here, my friends had taken him out of the school and sued everyone. Everybody except the golden boy Jung Hoseok. And only because Jiminie had literally begged them not to."
I looked at my husband with teary eyes. "I don't think Jiminie knows me, or maybe he doesn't remember, and I don't know if I want him to remember me because I didn't do anything to stop him from being hurt- I couldn't. I was just a kid too. But Jimin is the reason I changed my major from being a Producer to Nursing, and the reason I eventually met you is because I did change my major. I just.. I.. I don't want anyone else looking after him. Kookie and Tae saved Jimin in a lot of ways and I want to make sure nobody else hurts this precious sweetheart again. That boy's already survived so much, Bo, I just want to help him."
Yibo smiled at me and wiped the tears from my cheek. I hadn't realized I was still emotional about this since it had been so many years already. "I'll help you love, you know I always will. Now, wipe those tears away and let's go sort this situation out." I nodded, a teary smile on my face and, pressing a quick kiss to his lips, I let him know how much I appreciated his help. I wiped my tears and washed my face quickly with some bottled water and his handkerchief. Dr Wang Yibo straightened his long white doctors jacket and cleared his throat. "Let's go Nurse Min." His lips twitched in what I knew to be his professional smile. "Thank you for your help, Sir."
*******
We walked out to the bland room which had an unsurprising amount of people waiting; either to be seen or waiting for their loved ones to come out again after being taken through the locked double doors. "Family of Park Jimin?" I called. The red head I now recognized stood abruptly. "Yes, that's me. I'm Jung Hoseok and this is my boss Kim Namjoon. Park Jimin was found at our worksite. I got paramedic Mayfuyu Sato to come first and check out a guy Namjoon found in one of the buildings because we thought he was dead or something and Mafuyu Sato got the ambulance to come an-" Jung Hoseok's word vomit was silenced when Kim Namjoon's hand fell on his shoulder, a little heavier than he'd intended, but it quieted the redhead down.
"Good morning. I am Doctor Wang Yibo, Chief Supervisor of this department. If you will follow me I need to ask you some questions about the person you came in with. Simply a formality as you aren't related to the patient." The pair followed us to Mr. Wang's office and he sat them down, I remained standing to his left. "The patient you came in with is suffering complications that may result in having to transfer him to somewhere that can better treat the trauma suffered. Can you tell me anything about Park Jimin's medical history?" A look of dread seeped into Jung Hoseok's eyes. I noticed Dr. Wang's lips twitch again, though I'm sure only he and I were able to tell it wasn't a pleasant smile.
