Chapter 18

                                    

                                          
I slept for a little in the emergency room, in which I was woken up twice. The first was when Jungkook shifted a green folding screen from God knows where to separate the beds. The screen probably was not maintained for years, it created loud cracking sounds like a firecracker when pulled. I think I glared at him resentfully, then turned back to sleep. The second time is now, the other side of the screen came low groaning sounds of a man, the sound went “ah, ya, ah, ya”, it was very ambiguous.
                          
I sat up, and wanted to peep, but was startled by the valiant words of the nurse.
                          
She said, “Can you not yell so disgustingly, we are not even giving you a colonoscopy.”
                          
In my heart I was calculating the distance between the large intestine and the entrance of a colonoscopy, I couldn’t help but laugh.
                          
The person the other side already transitioned from a yell to a high-pitched scream. I heard Jungkook reprimanded, “Keep your mouth shut, don’t disturb other patients.”
                          
I detoured past the privacy screen, then I regretted on why I even did that.
                          
The person was probably a young chap, I said probably is because I determined from his hair which was like a bunch of exploded straw. As for now, I am unable to determine his age from his face as it was stained with fresh red blood. There were even green pieces of glass stuck into him, it looked like those from a beer bottle. Amongst the pieces were two which were stuck onto each side of his cheeks, and it even came with the brand logo. 
                          
I really wanted to take a camera to capture his face and upload it to a forum with the title – 'X College Art Student’s Bloody Graduation Project, Appeal for Society’s Concern on' ,  etc of the Never-Ending Beauty of a Human Being. The Caption has to be Long. 
Trust me, any form of art that is anomalous will become viral.
                          
Jungkook was the first to see me come out. He pointed at me with the tweezers he was holding and said, “Go in. Why did you come out for?”
                          
I have yet to speak, the Glass Face person scolded rudely, “F*ck, what the heck are you looking at, ah…F*CK!”
                          
His last “ah…F*CK!” came abruptly as a loud piercing scream. I stumbled backwards from shock and stared blankly at Jungkook.
                          
Jungkook threw the piece of glass with the word “Live” to the plate on the push cart beside him, “This is a hospital, speak more cleanly.”
                          
When he said that, that was no other expression on his face, even his tone was dull without any intonation. But I feel that he was very handsome/cool.
                          
The Glass Face person used that face of his to express a ‘dare to show but dare not speak’ expression. He also spoke very modestly, “I got it, doctor can you be gentler.”
                          
Jungkook agreed to him and looked at me to say, “You, go in.”
                          
I went back behind the screen and sat cross legged on the bed to day dream.
                          
I heard Glass Face using a fawning tone to say, “Doctor, your girlfriend? She’s pretty.”
                          
Jungkook seemed to acknowledge by making a sound. Then Glass Face continued, “Doctor, bringing your girlfriend on the hospital bed, exciting ohhh.”
                          
As expected, Glass Face screamed for his mother again. You see, this kind of pain only deserves two words – served you right. 
                          
Not sure how long have past, I started to doze off while sitting cross-legged. When I regained my consciousness, I realised my legs were numb to the point I didn’t dare to touch it.
                          
“Lisa, are you meditating?” Jungkook stood beside my bed while removing the white rubber gloves off his hands.
                          
I wriggled my toes, a tingling pain of numbness climbed through my cells up my entire body, I made a crying face and replied him, “Jungkook, my legs are so numb they are going to be crippled.”
