8 nine: Some moments with psycho

Seo Jin was sitting on her chair. She was exhausted by patients. It was a very busy day and she got too many patients. She was leaning on her chair while closing her eyes. She wanted to go home but more patients were waiting for her.

"Ah! Why there are too many mentally unstable people? They will make me unstable too!" she said and start messaging her shoulder.

"May I come in?" a guy knocked on her door and said.

"Ah! Sorry ma'am. We tried to stop him but he was insisted to meet you and we couldn't stop him." her assistant nurse ran into the room and said. Seo Jin sat down and looked at the guy. She doesn't know this guy. She never saw him before. So, she thought of him as another patient and then she looked at her assistant.

"Leave him alone," she said to her assistant. Her assistant bowed towards her and went away. The guy was nobody else but Dae Ju. He got an idea to meet her here and rushed to her chamber. Dae Ju went inside. It was the same as he saw this place before. Though he didn't come here for a long time, he couldn't see any changes in this room. She was picky when it comes to decorating her room. And that's why she kept some weird showpieces on one corner. There was a cabinet with many files behind her table but it was neat. A computer was kept on her table and he knows that she kept all her patient's data in her computer.

"Come and sit here." she took a messager and start messaging her back with it. Dae Ju was so happy that he forgot that he was in another body and Seo Jin can't recognize him.

"It's been a long!" he said and went close to her table.

"What?" she asked and stopped messaging. She looked at him with her surprised eyes.

"No, I mean...." Dae Ju remembered and controlled himself. He took a chair and sit down.

"What is your problem?" she asked. It was not her regular style to talk with her patients. She usually talked with them very gently but this time, she was so tired that she forgot her rules and behave like he was not her patient.

"I have no problem. But, I have a friend who is suffering from a huge problem," he said and looked at her. He realized that she was pretty too. He used to annoy her by telling her that she was ugly. Indeed, he never thought that she was pretty but after seeing her for a long time, he really felt like she was pretty. She grows her bangs and covered her forehead with her hair. It suits her and she looked pretty on it. She was wearing her favorite red dress. Though she put an apron on it Dae Ju could recognize it.

"Ah! Okay. Tell me about his problem. And please tell me in detail. Don't hide anything or else I can't give him a proper cure." Seo Jin can understand it was his own problem, not his friend's problem. She saw many cases like that. The original patient come to her and say that they have no problem, the problem was with their friends. So, she was use to the common lie.

"My friend, Jheong Woo. Have an accident a while ago. He was the driver of the taxi but he has a passenger named Geon Shil." he was an expert on making stories. Though this story was true he was using different names.

"Oh! Was it serious?" Seo Jin acted like she was shocked.

"Yes, it was really serious but he didn't get hurt as badly as his passenger. He was serious injured. He is still in coma. But..." he was trying to tell his story but in the middle of it, he stopped.

"But, what?" She seems very interested and came to him.

"But, my friend..."

"Hmm.. your friend what?" He acted like he was Geon Shil after the accident. He tried to make me understand many times but do you think it's possible? I mean, how can I believe him? What should I do now?" Dae Ju asked. He acted like he was very surprised by his friend's doing.

"Oh? Is that so? Then, he got hurt in his head, right?" Seo Jin asked. She was also curious and suddenly she forgot about her tiredness.

"No, not at all. He didn't get hurt in his head. He just gets hurt in his leg." He replied the truth.

"Ah! Then he shouldn't do this! Why he was acting like this? How long it's been since his accident and how dangerous the memory was? Can you tell me?" she was gentle but seems like she was investigating like a detective.

"It was terrible," he remembered about the night and feel like he was having a nightmare. He looked at her and seeing his that look Seo Jin get sure that he was telling his story.

"Ah! Then what about bringing him in here?" she asked to get sure and as she assumed he refused to took him here because it was not his friend's problem. He makes an excuse that his friend doesn't want to visit here so he came here instead of his friend.

"I have an idea." Dae Ju said. But this idea was not also for his friend. It was for him too.

"What?" she asked.

"Will you go to any party? If you go, then I can bring him to you. There you can see him and talk with him. What do you think?" Dae Ju asked and looked at her with his bright smile.

"Woah! Brilliant idea! 9th February. Come to this venue. I am getting married so I invited you with your friend. Of course, this is for my patient." she smiled. After a long time, her smile seems very pretty to him. He hasn't seen her smile like this for a long time so he was missing it. He remembered, whenever she smiled at him, he called her ugly and told her to stop laughing like a monkey. But, this time he got a different feeling. Seeing her smiling, he got happy. He took the invitation card which she gave him.

"I will." saying this he stood up.

"Ah, right! What is your name?" Seo Jin asked.

"Dae J...No, Rumi," he replied. He couldn't get used to telling the guy's name whenever anyone asked about his name. He still answered with his real name but he corrected it immediately.

"Rumi! I will wait for you." she smiled.

"Okay, I will come no matter what." saying this he went outside.

After he left from there, Seo Jin smiled weirdly.

"Idiot! You think I can't get you? I know you." saying this she smiled again.

"Ma'am, should I call another patient?" her nurse knocked at the door and asked.

"No, tell everyone to leave. I am tired. And listen, don't take any fee from that guy. He is my relative." she said.

"That guy who just left?" the nurse asked.

"Hm," she replied shortly and stood up from her seat.

He was walking home while thinking about his sister. Did he do right? Should he tell her the truth? Would she believe him? He doesn't think she would have believed him if he tells her the truth. He starts to imagine how she will look in her wedding dress. How wonderful it would be if he can stay beside her while she chooses her dress. Though he knew that he couldn't even if he was in his real body. He would've been too busy that he couldn't even meet her. He sighed and kept walking.

The street was getting darker. He felt hungry. Usually, he took some snacks this time but nowadays, he couldn't because of his job. He has to be busy and though he felt hungry he couldn't get any snacks. He saw a vending machine while walking. There were many kinds of juice and beer can inside it. On this cold night, he wanted to drink a can of beer. It will help him to feel warm but should he took a can of beer? He was missing it a lot since he couldn't drink for a long time. But Lina strictly forbids him. He was in a double mind. After bickering with himself for a while, he went to the vending machine and took a can of cola. He opened the can and took a sip and start walking again.

"Ah! It's refreshing!" he was walking while drinking the cola slowly. He has the card in his other hand and he took a look at it. It was decorated nicely.

"At last, she has gained the knowledge of design!" he laughed. Though he laughed he felt empty inside.

When he came home, he heard some sounds of dropping plates or glasses. Seems like someone was working in the kitchen. He doesn't know why but he felt amazing by hearing the sound and the nice smell coming from the kitchen. He wanted to drink some hot soup on this cold night. He kept the card on the small table and went to the kitchen directly and he saw Lina was really cooking but she was looking sad. She broke a plate that was from her favorite set.

"Oh! Did you get hurt?" he asked.

"Hmm." she seems sad and looked at her finger. Dae Ju also takes a look and noticed that she burnt her finger.

"Hey! You are worrying about the plate? You burn your hand! Ah! How could you be that careless? And why you are standing like this yet?" he said in his own style. But it was clearly understood that he was worried. He grabs her arm and pulled her with him. He makes her sit on the couch and rushed to upstairs.

"What are you doing?" she said loudly.

"Just wait for a while!" he shouted and went upstairs. After a few moments, he came by running with a toothpaste tube.

"What are you supposed to do with it?" Noticing this she asked with a smile. She found him cute and she couldn't hold her laugh.

"Hey! Why you are laughing? Just stay still and give me your hand!" he shouted as always without taking a break. Suddenly she makes a sad face and said,

"How can I become so clumsy? I broke the plate! It was my favorite!" seems like she will cry.

"Yes, you are clumsy. Aish! You are still thinking about one plate! I can buy you a hundred like that!" he was sitting on the floor and applying the toothpaste on her burnt finger. Though it was hurting she was thinking about the dish.

"No! It was precious! My mom gifted me that at our wedding. And I broke one from the set!" she sighed.

"Ah! Then it was really precious! But, You have five more. Don't you?" he said.

"Hmm." she nods her head.

"Then keep them carefully. Protect them from every danger as they are your child. Got it? But not like this!" he pointed at her finger and said.

"Yes," she was cute when she said that.

When Dae Ju finished his all work suddenly he remembered he got a mission today which he couldn't accomplish.

*But what was the detective doing all day? Shouldn't he call him? He was going to bed but he stopped and start thinking. Should he call him or should he go to him? Will it be safe if he calls him? What if he is in danger?* he fought with himself then he took his phone to call him. He called him but nobody was picking up. Dae Ju was in tension. What was he doing and why he was not picking up. He called him again but this time also nobody was picking up.

"Okay, I should visit his place." saying this he turned back and put on warm clothes as there was cold enough outside.

He reached the station and went inside. He was in hurry and searching for Mr. Park. But he was not there. Dae Ju asked another officer but he doesn't know anything about him. He was so worried but he couldn't understand what he should do. Dae Ju thought maybe he went there alone and while spying, he got captured by those jerks. Was that true? Did he really catch by them? What will happen to him if he gets caught? They are very dangerous as they work for a mafia.
