"Excuse me, I think you dropped something: My jaw"

"This is where you'll be staying the most" Doctor Jung gestured to the whole floor that he had been designated to watch over while guiding you down the hallway and towards his office that was next to Doctor Kim's.

Your eyes never left his face as you were itching to ask him the many questions filling your brain.

It wasn't long until the older noticed your piercing gaze on him.

"Is something the matter?" He asked with a frown before slowing down to a stop.

You also found yourself stopping and had yet to realise that he had asked a question until you found a pair of eyes staring right back at you.

Quickly, your cheeks flushed in embarrassment as you tried to recompose yourself.

After this morning's occurrences with the congratulatory party and the whole Jimin strangling Taehyung fiasco, you couldn't find the pink haired Doctor but instead met up with the very mysterious Doctor Jung.

"S-sorry- I- err,... do you have a twin?" This made the older chuckle.

"If I did, I would feel so sorry for my mother" he answered simply before stuffing his hands in his lab coat and continuing his journey to his office.

Standing there frozen in confusion, you tried to think of a reason why the older would act so strangely towards you.

Perhaps he has memory loss?

No, Y/N. Otherwise he would have forgotten about the time in the locker room as well as the incident with the children.

...then what could it be?

Now you were beyond intrigued and you wanted answers.

Doctor Jung had already stepped in to his office and after checking inside Doctor Kim's office (which was only next door) and seeing that it was dark and very much empty, you ran inside and watched as Doctor Jung sat in his chair before logging on the computer.

"...Doctor Jung, can I ask you something?" The other continued to type while momentarily looking over at you and gesturing for you to sit.

"Of course! I'm just changing the intranet schedule of mine to supervise you" accepting his offer, you cautiously sat down at the office chair across from the chestnut haired male who looked cheerful as he typed away.

"...I was just wondering-"

Wait! Are you sure you should be asking him this?

What?

Are you sure you should be asking about why he acts so strangely?

...why shouldn't I? I want to know why he's like this.

But, right now, he's the 'nice twin' that you've come to like. What if asking him the question will make him in to his 'mean twin'?

"...you were wondering...?" Doctor Jung urged for you to carry on once he noticed you had become quiet.

What should I do?!

Ask Yoongi, maybe he'll know.

...fine.

"...I was just wondering... if you'll be as strict as Yoo- as Doctor Min" this made the other laugh and stopped him from typing.

"Doctor Min is quite harsh with his methods but, don't worry. I'm strict only when it is needed" you ah'd in response but, to be honest, you still had many questions. Let's just hope that Yoongi has all the answers.

"Right! Shall we see your first official patient?" This had caught you off gaurd.

"...my first patient?"

"Yes, your first patient. Let's go and meet them!"

----------------30 minutes later-----------------

"What?! No no no, I don't want her!" The little boy yelled while thrashing around in her hospital bed.

"Come on, Minhyuk! She's really nice and she'd really like you to be her first patient-"

"No! I only want you, Doctor Jung!" The mentioned doctor laughed nervously at his attempt at trying to persuade the little boy to accept you.

You were standing awkwardly behind him and to be honest, you wished that you would get another patient.

The idea of your first patient being a loud little child who had always been the sole reason as to why Doctor Jung got angry at you did not sound pleasing at all.

Or easy for that matter.

Suddenly, the heart monitor wad going off, signalliing that the boy's heart was increasing.

"Minhyuk! Deep breaths, okay? Just like we practiced" a little on the panicky side, you watched as the boy began breathing in a rhythmical way and thankfully, he returned to a stable condition.

Your eyes scanned his body and his heart was glowing bright red, which could only mean that he was facing heart problems.

"Nurse!" Doctor Jung yelled out before watching a floor nurse come in to the hospital room.

"Yes?"

"I need you to do another scan on his heart, please and send the scans to me" the nurse nodded and walked over to move the breathless boy out of the room where he would get scanned.

You couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy. He was only young and instead of going outside and playing with his friends, he was stuck here and trying to get better. No wonder he wanted to play with you so badly.

"How long will he be here for?" You asked after Minhyuk finally left.

"...we don't know. We're waiting for a heart transplant to become available but, the VIPs are on the top of the list" you watched as his fists balled in anger, clearly annoyed at the fact that the VIPs are getting treated before innocent little children.

You frowned at this.

Chief Kim was allowing this?

Allowing VIPs to be prioritised more than children?

Of course his explanation from the other day made sense but, that was when you didn't know that children would also be waiting.

"...how does a person become at the top of the list? When they're not VIP I mean" you asked out of curiosity.

The older calmed down after hearing your question, wondering why you would be asking such a thing.

"Only if they have money or if the chief of surgery allows it. Why are you asking?"

"Hm? Oh, just curious" you looked away and proceeded to leave the room, knowing that you would need to see another patient anyway.

After exiting, you were met with the waiting area with many people who looked to be sick and in pain.

The thought that your father who had also been bed ridden because of his skin cancer and liver failure had made you realise that he too could have been less prioritised.

Perhaps if he had more money, more connections, a higher rank-... would he still be alive by now?

It wasn't fair.

But, money and class status is what makes the world go round.

Will you change it, Y/N?

Will you change Ascelpius for the better?
