"Namjoon, that's not such a wise thing to ask. People rarely come here at night. The only ones that stay here are the patients that stay overnight or practically live in their hospital rooms." Namjoon didn't heed the warnings his boss was telling him.
"Sir, you don't have to pay me overtime. I just want to work a night shift because I have a lot of things to do during the day. Aside from a doctor, I have to take care of my sick mother as well. She's actually the reason I studied to become a doctor." Namjoon lied straight to the man's face, crossing his fingers that he would take the bait.
"I understand. I'm sorry to hear about your mother, Namjoon. Please, sign here to switch your shift, then." The man handed him over a paper and a pen, which Namjoon thought was very sketchy. The words were barely noticeable, and since he wears reading glasses,
he had a hard time seeing such tiny letters without them, because he didn't bring them with him.
His vision was blurring just by staring at the paper, but he grabbed the pen anyways.
"That's just to change your shift. I just need you to sign this tiny paper three times and I promise you, your paycheck will double. You'll be earning a little extra cash for working late at night." The offer was too good for Namjoon to decline.
He filled up the blank spaces in no time with his signature and handed it over to the man.
"Welcome to the night shift, Dr. Kim." He smirked, folding the paper with his signatures on it.
Namjoon thanked the man and left his office.
He walked over to his office and started to fix it up again. Someone knocked on his door just as he was about to leave.
"How is my main doctor doing, uh- Rearranging your things, I see." Bohwa peeked at his things as Namjoon shut the door behind him, ending the other's curiosity.
"As a matter of fact, I was just cleaning everything up to get ready to leave."
"Leave? Why?" Bohwa's eyes widened, a hint of sadness showing,
"I switched my daytime job to a night shift." He smiled.
"Night shift? Why would you do that!" Namjoon's smile vanished at Bohwa's tone of voice. He's never seen the man so frustrated. His attitude reminded him of Yoongi when he raised his voice at him in the nightmare he had last night.
"I... Was just asking because, you know, a night shift won't pay you as much as a daytime job does. Just saying. Trust me, I know. Our boss is a cheapskate." He whispered, playing it off. Namjoon caught up with the man's lie and decided to keep the lie going by adding his own.
"I don't mind the pay. All I want is free time during the day to do a few things, and what better than to switch my job to a night shift, right?" Namjoon kept his talk short and ignored Bohwa as much as possible. He wasn't as close as he thought he was with him.
Aside from not being close with him as he used to be, another reason as to why Namjoon
was avoiding the man, was to prevent him from interrogating him with questions any further.
"Alright, goodbye then!" Bohwa left.
Namjoon secretly followed him, just to see where he was headed with such a hurry.
He stopped and hid behind a wall as he spoke to a nurse.
"That man is screwed." He overheard the nurse.
"Tell me about it. Our boss never gives anyone night shifts anymore, not to mention new people who barely work here for two days. He's a goner."
"What's so bad about a night shift? And why did she say 'anymore'? I knew it! They are hiding something..." Namjoon thought, trying to keep himself undetected as much as possible.
"I know. Only exclusive people like us can handle a night. You know how these patients get. And him. You've warned him about room triple X, right?"
"Triple X? Is that why someone scribbled on my documents that day? This is getting interesting." Namjoon tried listening closer, feeling intrigued by all of the information he was gathering.
"Yes. I even blocked the double doors. There's no way he could have seen what was inside, and if he did, it was during the day so he still wouldn't be able to see it."
Now there was an "It" involved? Namjoon knew something was wrong with Bohwa the day he blocked his view from the double doors. What could be inside of that room?
"Room XXX is a room no one should enter, not I until we have the right resources and proof to start the experiments with it." Namjoon covered his mouth and hid so no one would find him.
"That man must have nerves of steel to be working at night alone. No one is around during the night, except for the poor patients. At least they won't suffer alone." The nurse burst out in laughter.
"I knew it. Yoona probably tortures those poor people before she leaves, that would explain why Bogeom was so afraid of her."
~~~
Namjoon returned later on that night, and turned his camera on.
"Day- well, night one, I guess. I switched my day job to a night shift. I told my boss I had to take care of my sick mother during the day, but I just wanted to investigate and pick up any pieces of information that I can. I'm a curious man, what more could you expect?" He laughed.
"This looks like a ghost town. Not that it's scary or haunted, but it is very old. This building must have been constructed a while back. I'm walking past the cafeteria at the moment, trying to get to my destination... Hopefully not my last. But we'll see.
Today I overheard Yoona, the nurse I told you about, and Bohwa, talking to each other very secretive.
They said whoever works a night shift here is a goner, and spoke about this random room XXX. I don't know if I'll end up falling into a trap, or if it's something similar to the room in the movie "Fifty Shades of Gray"... Maybe I exaggerated a little. I have got to stop watching movies.
But seriously, my curiosity has been killing me. And if whatever is in that room doesn't kill me, my curiosity will if I don't find out what's inside of it right now.
I don't care if that something is a storage room filled with washers and dryers to clean the patient's clothes, or if it's to store towels, first aid kits, or whatever it has in it. But I just know it won't be that. You know why? Because Bohwa and Yoona make it sound as if the room was some sort of a hidden lab. They said that no one should enter the room until they had the right 'resources' and proof to do experiments with 'it'. I'm assuming 'it' is a person, but it could also be an animal, or even something completely different. All I know is, I'm finding out what it is, even if it kills me. For now, I'm going to shut off the camera. Goodbye."
As the doctor entered the double doors with caution, he realized they were locked. His plans on finding out about what was hidden behind those double doors were ruined.
"No, no, come on! I made it this far, I'll find a way inside even if I have to break the doors down."
He read the label in the front of the door, it read "Push". He was pulling on a door that said push the whole time.
"Oh. That explains why I couldn't get in." He resisted the urge to facepalm himself in order to get inside of the unknown, mysterious room.
The doors had a very sticky substance glued onto them.
"Gross. What is this stuff?" Namjoon knew his shoes were ruined, but he didn't pay attention to that, what he did pay attention to was a sign that read: ⚠Radiation Warning⚠
The creaking noises that were coming from the old, rusty floor were not helping him keep quiet in case anyone returned to the building. Then again, from what Bohwa and Yoona spoke about earlier, Namjoon knew there was no chance anyone would find him. So what ever happens to him tonight, will be revealed in the morning or maybe kept secret. It was up to his curiosity to see if he survives or if it gets him killed.
There was a horrible stench of vomit mixed with blood, emitting from the walls and floor. Namjoon wasn't one hundred percent sure if he was right about the smell of blood or not, but the place was giving him bad vibes. And he was certain that the odors were coming from the walls.
He could tell, just by the amount of reddish and yellowish stains on the walls that weren't part of the strange drawings he found written around them.
To him, it seemed as if the place was haunted, because he sensed a bad presence inside of it.
"It's me again," He whispered as he switched his camera to night mode. A glowing green light was good enough to brighten his path, but unfortunately his camera was low on battery, so he had to use the light wisely.
"Update: This place is NOT a storage room as I thought it was. It's something else. I swear, it smells like something died in here. I seriously hope I'm wrong about this, but it's true. It smells like blood. Also, there was a radiation warning on the outside of this room, so I'm trying to avoid getting exposed to any of it by finding a lead apron, glasses, or anything at all. So far, all I've found are glasses and this suit. Hold on for a minute, I'm going to put it on." Namjoon set the camera down on a table next to stained scissors and other rusty tools.
He looked inside of a cabinet as he bend down to pull up the suit. Inside of it were flasks and tubes that contained blood and labels written on each one of them.
Patient 0.
Blood type: A.
Lab Experiment progress: 100%
Results: Failed.
Patient 13.
Blood type: AB.
Lab Experiment progress: 100%
Results: Failed.
Namjoon focused closer on the name of the last experiment.
"Patient XXX. So this is the patient Yoona and Bohwa kept hidden, huh? Where could this person be... Or what could it be." Namjoon knew he shouldn't even be in this situation in the first place, but there was no way he was turning back now.
Nothing will stop him from finding out who patient XXX is.
