〈 clinic

@[w] gong minji Jongdae jumped as he heard the loud bang outside his room. He was looked over at the apple he took from the cafeteria and bit his lip. The person outside could have either been the bully waiting for him to open the door or a worker, to punish him for taking food out if the cafeteria. Either way I wouldn't be helped that one of his 'sisters' was upset with him. He snapped out of his depression when another bang rang off his door. With a gulp, he slowly stalked towards his door to see who was outside.

@[f] kim jongdae (I understand completely~)

Minji hummed softly as she headed down to the cafeteria to eat, leaving the comforto f her clinic. Briefly she could see Jongdae, but then he was lost in the crowd. Eating a bit she scanned the area again before catching sight of someone following her baby. Despite her harsh words Minzy's eyes narrowed angrily and she stood, dumping her food. Minzy was in control now. She wasn't about to keep her promise when it was happening in front of her. Following after she saw Jongdae go to his room...and his pursuer head towards his door. Another patient...a more sane one with anger issues. She grabbed him by his hair and slammed his head into Jongdae's door. "What the do you think you're doing, Jin Soo?" she cooed maliciously. "Didn't I tell you last time to stay the away from this wing of the asylum or I'd beat the out of you...again." Jin Soo's eyes widened. He'd been on Minzy's bad side before. He knew about Minzy. He let out a whimper of pain as Minzy slammed his head into the door again.

@[w] gong minji When Jongdae was finally alone in his room, he sat down on his bed and sighed. He knew Minji was just being nice and tried to beat around the bush. He knew that Minzy was never going to look at him the same again after tonight. He said that he would visit again but he didn't really know if Minzy would appreciate seeing him around Minji at all. The mute knew he was probably going to have to choose but how could he? He curled up on his bed, still sitting and closed his eyes as he tried to calm down, he was in pain, physically and mentally. He knew it was time for the painkillers but he decided not to. Opening his eyes, he took out his depression pills and popped them in his mouth. He knew it wasn't a good mix, the antibiotic and the antidepressant, so he decided to skip the two medications for his pain and hopped off his bed to the cafeteria. There he met the bullies and some angry looking guards but steered away from them as he made his way to get food. After buying them, he walked back to his dorm, noticing that he was being followed. Of course he'd be the primary target. Jongdae picked up his pace and got into his room, knowing fully well that he'd be beat again. Well of he was already in his room, less chance to be needing to crawl back to the infirmary, he just wanted to sleep the next punishment away.

() uhmm I think I just replied in gibberish... orzz sorry

@[f] kim jongdae You realize I'm never going to accept this, Minzy huffed inside her mind. "Neh, I know," Minji responded back out loud as she set about cleaning. So stop lying to our Jongdae and telling him that I'll get over it, Minji growled. As far as I'm concerned if he wants to be with that disgusting e then I refuse to acknowledge him as our brother. Minji sighed. "That's why you're on the inside. I may not particularly like Minseok but we have to accept Jongdae's choice. He's a grown man. And I won't have you hurting his feelings. So long as you keep your mouth shut then I'm fine. Otherwise I'm going back on my medication and you will be silenced." Minji had stopped taking her medication a long time ago. It's what kept Minzy from making herself known. It surpressed her ability to do things.

@[w] gong minji "Nehh." He signed as he walked out the door to meet with his assigned guards. He was eternally grateful for Minji and only hoped that Minzy would soon forgive him and accept the fact that he loved Minseok no matter what he was. He didn't care what the older was or was that he was dangerous to most. He was only content that he felt safe around the older male, because he knew he'd be protected, and happy because he was loved in a way that siblings couldn't really share.

@[f] kim jongdae {>.< I didn't see this! I'm so sorry!}

Minji nodded in understanding, trying to keep her smile. She was conflicted inside but she would smile for him. "Eunseo and Pepper are waiting to you back," she called after him, having gathered together trustworthy guards to protect him. "You'll be safe now~" All she wanted was for him to be safe and happy.

@[w] gong minji Smiling, Jongdae nodded and stood up, taking the bottles of medicines. "Thank you. I could never stop thanking you." He signed after hugging the bottles to his chest with his bandaged arm. "I'll come visit soon. I promise." Chen finished with a nod. Pecking her once more on the cheek he began to walk out of the clinic and back to his room.

@[f] kim jongdae "Hm...I should. Give me just a moment." Minzy got up, looking through the cabinets before finding where they kept it. "Oh neh~" She grabbed one of the bigger bottles that held more pills than the normal-sized ones. "Here you go, sweetheart. Just take the same amount you normally do and you should be fine." She petted his head gently, leaning down to kiss his forehead.

@[w] gong minji Looking up, Chen nodded as Minji spoke. "Nehh I understand. Thanks again Minnie." Taking a look at the pills made him queasy. He hated drinking medicine and definitely hated how it was sometimes to big. "Oh I've been meaning to ask as well, I just ran out of depression medication.. do you have anymore?" He signed and bit his bottom lip. He hadn't taken the medicine in a long time and it was so sudden that the symptoms acted up again. It was weird although he knew anyone could relapse to depression even if they were living the happiest lives.

@[f] kim jongdae Minji smiled at him before getting up, going to the medication cabinet. She shifted through the many bottles, before finding the right ones. "Alrighty, sweetie. You want to take these pink ones once every two days. Only one tablet." She wrote it down on the bottle. "And these green ones are for pain. You can take up to 6 a day. Any more will make you sick." She wrote that down too.

@[w] gong minji Jongdae nodded and smiled softly at Minji. "Nehh you're right." He sighed and sat down at the chair across from her desk. "Okay thank you Minji noona, you're the absolute best. I'll wait here." He motioned before leaning his head down onto his hands.

@[f] kim jongdae "Minzy is always mad at everything," Minji said. "She'll get it over it. You know she just needs to take a few days to calm down." She ran her fingers through his hair. "I can give it to you now if you'd like. I wouldn't want you to be in pain all day until you came to get them."

@[w] gong minji "She's mad at me isn't she." He signed with a pout, laying his head on her shoulders. Nodding, he lifted his head. "Okay. I will. Do I just come to you to the medication later?" Chen continued signing with his head tilted. He was sad that Minzy was even angry at him but it was just in her nature.

@[f] kim jongdae Minzy took control for a moment to simply turn her head away from him, too angry to even comment. Minji regained control, hugging him back gently. "You need to be careful, baby. Your injuries are still fragile and no doubt tender. I can deal with Minzy myself, don't worry about it too much."

@[w] gong minji "Thank you. Thank you thank you. This is all I ask." He signed happily, and leaned in to peck her forehead. "Minzy please calm down. Don't be mad at Minji okay? This is my decision." He signed again with a gentle smile. Chen hugged her lightly to try and calm his 'sister' down. He flinched slightly because underneath the bandages, his skin was still tender, but he stayed in the position, hoping that the nurse wouldn't blow.

@[f] kim jongdae Minji sighed. "Arasso, baby," she murmured. "I...don't like this...but I'll accept it for you." She relaxed a bit, wincing slightly as Minzy began to shout at her. She covered her ears briefly before smiling at him. "Just...be careful baby. I...just don't trust him right now. I can try...but for right now, I don't trust him."

@[w] gong minji "Please... please. Besides you, he's all I could ever have. I can never be mad at you for punishing him but please don't keep us apart. Please? I beg of you." Jongdae signed. He was upset that Minzy hurt Minseok, but he knew that she had to otherwise she'd be punished as well, and he wouldn't live for that. He was glad the head nun had left recently but he wished she left before she ordered his sister like figure to punish his lover. The two(three?) People he ever truly loved. He hoped he didn't have to choose because he could never choose. How could he? He loved them all equally. "Please I promise if he does anything to hurt me I'll run to you. But I know he won't."

@[f] kim jongdae Minji bit down on her bottom lip harder, drawing blood as he asked that she accept them. She reached over, taking the needles from his arms and wrapping them properly before disposing of them. "I...I don't know, Jongdae...how can I accept this...?" She sighed, looking up at him. "You know that we're under the orders of the Head Nun, right? Well...I was ordered to punish Minseok...I wasn't able too...so Minzy did it for me. Most likely he's recovering from what I've done. I bandaged him up properly so he's healing well."

@[w] gong minji Jongdae nodded with a smile and lifted his arms. "but can you take these off first?" Freezing at the Name, Chen blushed wildly and smiled a little brighter. "He's amazing. I love him a lot too. Please accept us, let us be together? He makes me really happy." He signed with a loving look on his face. "But do you know what happened to him? I haven't seen him these few weeks.." Chen said with a pout.

@[f] kim jongdae Minji smiled as Jongdae finally woke up. She checked him over quickly before nodding. "You can leave now if you'd like," she said. "I'll just fill out the form, give you your medication and you can leave." She bit at her bottom lip a bit. "But...before you go I have to ask you something. Jongdae...what is Minseok-ssi to you?" she asked, twisting her skirt in her hands. "I talked to him and he said he loved you...and I don't...Minzy says I shouldn't accept this...because of what he is and because we're suppose to protect you." She sighed. "We'll have to accept it if you love him but...she really doesn't like it."

@[w] gong minji It was hours later and Jongdae slowly woke up. He fluttered his eyes open and blinked, trying to blink the tiredness away. He felt someone touching his head and looked up, smiling to see Minji. Looking down at his body, and noticed that his torso was covered and bandaged. Chen attempted to sit up and winced. It was too long since his last series of injuries so he wasn't used to the tight feeling of the bandages. "Thank you noona," he signed, "for taking care of me all of these years. Not that I want to leave or anything, but... when do I get discharged? I'm kind of hungry." As if on cue, his stomach growled softly, but no matter how gentle the rumble was, he felt it through his bruises and winced.

@[f] kim jongdae She sat back and watched him for a moment, petting his head gently. She had a few questions to ask him when he woke up but for now she would allow him to sleep. "Hm...Jongdae-ah," she murmured, mostly to herself. "What is...that Minseok guy to you?" she muttered. She really didn't know if she approved of their relationship but if her baby was happy...then she had no choice but to be happy as well, no matter how much Minzy hated the thought. In fact Minzy was demanded she flat out refuse their relationship and refuse to accept it. She wanted her to get the guards involved to keep them apart but Minji was a rational thinker and she would hear someone out before doing something so rash...and cruel.

@[w] gong minji Jongdae felt his body move as Minji bandaged him. Wincing softly as he felt the fabric touch the tender spot of his body. It was the first time he's had such a good sleep in a while so he didn't bother to wake from the slight pain. He tried to sleep as much as he could before he had to go back to the loud dorm halls.

@[f] kim jongdae It took a while for Minji to return to check up on her baby, having to take a long while to control the bleeding from the other patient. Sighing softly, she walked over to him before frowning. She looked at the needle, tsking softly. It was her fault really for not applying the adhesive to keep the needle in place. No doubt he was gonna be sore from the removal. She replaced the needle into his arm before applying the adhesive to keep it in place. She then took the liberty to bandage his bruises to keep him from jostling around and accidently bumping around. "Poor sweetie," she whispered, petting his head gently. She kissed his cheeks softly, a fond smile on her face. She absolutely ADORED him!

@[w] gong minji As he slept, he unconsciously moved, making the needle for the blood transfusion to fall out. But because he was so out of it, he never noticed the feeling of his skin become slightly stretched. After moving a bit more; he'd managed to bump his elbow into one of his bruises making his involuntarily flinch, in his sleep. It also seemed as if Jongdae had unknowingly moved the IV from his vein to disconnect making him feel slightly uncomfortable in his sleep. Too tired to see the situation, Chen had just ignored the random soreness in his arm and stayed asleep.

@[f] kim jongdae "Night-night, my Chenchen," Minji murmured, tucking him in gently before she went around cleaning. She hummed to herself as she put away medications and supplies. She'd just gotten done with washing the dishes from Jongdae's meal when a patient arrived, suffering from what appeared to be stab marks using a fork. She got to work right away, stopping the bleeding and bandaging him up tightly. Another poor soul who didn't speak much and preferred to keep to himself. She knew that most patients liked her more than the other nurses. She was gentle and tender with each of her patients, treating them as if they were her own children.

@[w] gong minji Smiling softly, Jongdae nodded. "Good night noona~" he signed one last time before cuddling under the covers to sleep. He trusted Minji with all his life he was happy that she was on duty that day as well. He'd hate it when he was injured and another nurse was forced to take care of him. The other nurses would always be harsh with him whenever she punctured him with the needles and they'd always rush him to leave even if he had felt sleepy. Yet when the others had to be treated and their wounds wouldn't be as serious, they'd always be pampered like kings and queens. Minji was probably the only nurse that treated him like a human being and he appreciated her for that.

@[f] kim jongdae "It's normal, sweetie. Since your injuries were causing you a great deal of pain, I had to up the dosage just a bit, so that's probably why you're sleepy. I've already turned down the dosage so this is the last time you'll get sleepy like this." She d his hair gently. "Why don't you sleep some more? I have to clean and tend to some other patients~" She kissed the tip of his nose gently. "Good night, my precious baby brother~"

@[w] gong minji Jongdae nodded with a soft smile. "Nehh thank you Minzy, Minji. I really love you two~" Laying back, Chen decided to close his eyes again. "Of course~ you can be the first to hear my next composition." Although he'd his eyes closed, he had already memorized all the hand gestures and patterns that a mute or deaf person should know. with another yawn, the muted boy pouted. "Why does having the IV substance in my body always make me sleepy? Is that normal?"

@[f] kim jongdae For a moment a devious smile appeared on Minji's face as Minzy took control. "Don't worry...they won't," she said before Minji regained control, as always unaware that Minzy had taken control for that moment. "I'm sure after I've given the guards a stern lecture they won't let those boys come after you again." Minzy was the more violent of the two but Minji could be just as harsh and violent if provoked. The last time she had lost her temper she had sent a guard to the hospital with a fractured skull. "And remember, you can always come and visit me whenever you want~ Bring your guitar too, I love hearing you play."
