Lookism Ep N/A
(Y/n) POV
A few days had passed since Mr. Choi and Goo came to visit me in my hospital room. After they visited, a nurse came to my room and gave me a list. At first, I didn't understand why, but then I was told that it was a list of all the people who came to visit me while I was unconscious. It seems that Mr. Choi set up this private room for me and only allowed a small handful of people to come visit me during the two days I was unconscious, even if those people of the VIP list didn't come. I looked at the list the nurse gave me and began to read the names.
Jay Hong
Daniel Park
Zack Lee
Yui Kim
Euntae Lee
Jace Park
Zoe Park
Mira Kim
It wasn't that long of a list, but still, it made me happy to know that they all came such a long way to visit me. Just then, the door to my room burst open and a figure came in running towards me, yelling and crying.
"I thought you were a goner!" it was Crystal and, to my surprise, she came alone.
"When I received the call from the hospital saying that you were in critical condition I almost passed out!! Just what were you doing?!" she screamed at me with tears in her eyes.
"I am fine now. The doctor said that I only received small injuries-"
"Small?! You have a cast on one of your legs and you almost fractured your skull!! How is that small?!" Crystal yelled, interrupting me.
"All that matters is that I am alive. And that I am healing. So stop crying." I say to her
"Now, because of this I don't know if I should let you leave my side!" Said Crystal
"Can you stop screaming? You're giving me a headache." I say to her
"I'm sorry. But still, don't do that again. I was really scared." She said
"Don't worry, it won't happen again. Once I am fully healed, I'm going to exercise even harder." I say
"Then I'll join you." She said to me
"Don't we already do that together?" I say, giggling a little at the end.
Crystal is known to be beautiful. She is tall, has long hair, a slim body and flawless skin. She is what people would picture when you tell them to think of the most beautiful woman. I would agree with them but still, she is known to be cold-hearted towards people, and is only kind to mostly me. She stayed with me for the next few hours, keeping me company. We talked, trying to catch up to date with what has happened in each of our lives. I later told her that I just need to stay in the hospital for the next 9 days and then I will be off home. She then suggested that I could stay at her house until I can properly walk on my own again, and she offered to start packing some clothes back at my home while I was here. Then, it was there when it hit me.
'Where did I leave my luggage? Is it still at the retreat? Maybe I should call. Wait, where is my phone? My keys?!'
My mind raced over my thoughts, causing me some pain. Crystal, noticing my pained expression, asked me what was wrong. I told her about my luggage and my house keys. She decided to go outside and call to see if my things were still there so she could send Gun to retrieve them. But once she came back, she was told that a student took my luggage and that they were told that the student was going to give it back to me at the hospital.
I started to panic. Who could have taken my clothes? It had to be one of the girls. I need to call them and ask them. I told Crystal to look for the nurse that gave me the list. When she came back with the nurse, I asked if any of the people on the list came with a bag. They told me that there were two who came with luggage; Mira and Zoe. The nurse then gave us their contact info so we could call them and ask them to bring me my luggage.
Crystal called both of them and when they answered, she told them that I was awake and that they could come by and bring me my things. We waited for a few minutes. Then Crystal got a call from Gun. He told her that her time was up and that she had an appointment at some other place. She told me that she would come and visit me whenever she was free.
A few minutes after Crystal left, Zoe and Mira came in. But they were not alone, Zack was also with them. It seems that Zack was with Mira when Crystal called her and decided to go with her to the hospital. I looked at Zack's arms and noticed that both of them were in a cast.
"Are you okay?" I asked him
"Am I okay? I'm not the one in a hospital bed." He said to me.
"But still, do your arms hurt?" I asked him once more.
"I'm fine." He said.
"That is good to hear. I can also see that you are unharmed Mira. I'm glad you didn't get hurt." I said facing Mira. She looked at me and I could see sadness in her eyes.
"I should have done something. Maybe if I did, you wouldn't be in the hospital now." Mira said in a quiet voice.
"It's okay. I was only helping my friend." I said, smiling at her to try and calm her worries.
"(Y/n), I brought your luggage. Don't worry, I didn't open it or anything." Zoe said, cutting up the tense atmosphere.
"Thanks, Zoe, for keeping my stuff until I woke up." I say to her.
"No worries. How long are you going to stay like that? If you don't mind me asking." She said, referring to my condition.
"The doctor has me on surveillance for now. I can leave and go home after a few days. By then the injury in my wrist will be completely healed. As for the cast in my leg, I'll need to wear it for a minimum of 6 weeks. That is if I don't put any weight on it until then." I say to them.
"What will you do? Don't you live alone? Won't it be hard to move around?" Mira asked
"A friend of mine suggested that I could live with them until I can fully walk by myself. So you guys don't have to worry." I say
We then talked for a while. Well it was mostly a talk among Mira, Zoe and me. Zack just stayed preoccupied with himself, using his phone with difficulty. After talking for some time, I asked them to tell everyone to not visit me, as I didn't want them to worry that much about me.
"Are you sure?" Zoe asked me.
"I'm sure." I say to them.
It was getting late, and the nurse came by to tell them that visiting hours were done for the day. And with that I was left alone in the hospital room once again.
