Third Person POV
                          
"Kim Taehyung" Jisoo read. 
                          
Instantly concern was evident in her face as she continued scanning the patient in front of her.   
                          
Dr. Lee Jong Suk and the other doctors looked at Jisoo confused towards her actions. 
                          
Jisoo heard her sunbaenim cough a few times to catch her attention, bringing her back to senses. 
                          
"Jisoo-ssi are you just going to stand there or start doing your job?" Lee Jong Suk sternly said with his cold voice. 
                          
Jisoo took a few deep breathes. She was fighting with herself mentally. She felt weak and all the knowledge she knew dissipated. Jisoo was sure that she needed to get out that situation instantly, she was not ready for this. 
                          
But as she was about to step back and make a run for it. She made eye contact with her friend, Rosé. 
                          
Rosé wondered if it was because of the nerves that Jisoo was acting different but she knew Jisoo could do it with just a little push, so she wanted to encourage her. 
                          
Rosé lifted both her fist up, mouthing "fighting!" towards Jisoo. 
                          
Jisoo closed her eyes and took a deep breath. 
                          
"P-patient Kim Tae—Taehyung... Twenty-three-year-old patient. Was brought in the emergency department via an ambulance due to a car vehicle collision, approximately at three in the afternoon yesterday... " A tear fell on Jisoo's cheeks, betraying her. She quickly wiped it away before anyone could notice and continued. 
                          
"The patient could have also hit his head during the accident therefore was also sent for an MRI, thankfully his scans came this morning and it's clean. He is currently resting from the surgery he received yesterday..."
                          
Jisoo's voice shivered per each syllable she stated. She tried her best to grip on the patient folder to stop her hands from shaking, but it failed. 
                          
She was in complete shock. She couldn't believe that after five years, the person who once was her everything, and who once she almost lost sanity for, is now in front of her. 
                          
After she had done her job, to her luck Dr. Lee Jong Suk didn't bother asking follow up questions and excused them.
                          
Jisoo was the first to bow and exited the room as fast as her feet can take her. 
                          
She leaned in the nursing station near the room. Jisoo gripped onto her scrubs near her chest as she gasps for air. 
                          
Lisa saw her and immediately came to her aid, "Jisoo! Are you okay? What's wrong?"
                          
Jisoo continued to hyperventilate, and only acknowledged Lisa's presence when her breathing patterns has finally subsided. 
                          
"Thanks for the concern Lisa... I guess I just felt a little stuffy in that room. But I'm good now." Jisoo faintly smiles. 
                          
Lisa was not convinced but she knew it was not her place to ask further. 
                          
Shortly after, Jisoo felt her phone buzz from her right pocket. 
                          
Jisoo excused herself and walked away. Jisoo stopped her tracks and calmed herself. 
                          
"AH. Ah. AH." Jisoo tested the tone of her voice before answering her phone call. 
                          
"Hey Oppa" Jisoo tried her best to sound as normal as possible. 
                          
"Why do you sound so down... Is everything okay?? You're making me want to fly back right now!" Joo Hyuk quickly responded in concern.
