"Alright Miss Min," Dr.Hale says as he enters my hospital room. "Once we do a few more checks and everything is looking good, you should be able to leave tomorrow."
"Oh thank god!" I cheer and do a little happy dance in the bed. The room bursts with laughter.
"Can I use my phone now?" I still haven't been able to look at anything on my phone for the past week and a half. To say I was going insane--is an understatement.
He chuckles, "Yes, but only for short periods of time. You're still healing from the concussion, so hours staring at the screen will most likely cause migraines."
"Okay," I shrug my shoulders and jump up from the bed-- a little too excitedly-- and go to pick up my neglected device.
As the screen brightens to life, I'm bombarded with the mass messages from the few people I talk to.
The most from Taehyung... I've missed his voice.

As I went to exit out and open the mass snapchats I must have, my head started pounding. I groan loudly and turn off my phone. I feel my mom's cold hand on my forehead and flinch a little.
"Cold," I wince as she continues feeling for a fever. "Mom, I'm alright."
She glares down at me for a second before removing her hand. "I'm just making sure, Lee."
My head snaps to her when my nickname leaves her mouth. She hasn't called me that since we've been here. I figured she was still disappointed in me. I smile slightly in her direction and begin to get up.
"I'm going to the cafe," I comment and grab my wallet from my small bag on the couch. "Do you want me to get you something?"
"I'm alright, Lee." I turn around and see her smiling to herself.
"Okay, be right back."

I know I would complain about the eating schedule they had for me... But now that I eat more—
I'm hungry all. the. damn. time. Ironic, isn't it?
You'd think that when I was barely eating, I was hungrier — but no, it's now that I'm eating all the time, I'm hungry all the time. It makes no sense. But here I am... Eating two rolls of spicy shrimp tempura. Less than twenty minutes before I normally eat lunch.
"Well, aren't you hungry!" I practically choke on a roll when I see Oli slip from behind the door to the room.
"What--" I cough a few times, "are you doing here?" The words are muffled from my chewing.
"Can't I see my best friend when she's in the hospital?" She smiles at me before plopping herself down on the couch, making herself comfortable.
"Of course you can but..." I check the time on my phone. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?"
She waves me off. "You're more important than a chem lab, babe."
I laugh and shake my head, "You didn't have to skip for me."
She just shrugs and says, "I got your message so a bitch sped here real quick." I cackle... Cackle at the fact that she called herself 'a bitch' in front of my mother. She looks over at me with a raised eyebrow and the realizes the same. "Oh hey, Aera!" Oli waves at my mother with a smile.
To which my mother returns, surprisingly, "How are you Olivia?"
"Oh, I'm dandy! And you? How's the business going?"
"It's going," She chuckles. "I'll let you guys catch up... Even though you saw each other last night."
"Bye Aera," Oli waves. "Oh, and tell Ina I said hello."
"Will do," She then exits the room, shutting the door quietly.
I look at Oli, "I can't believe she didn't scold you for that."
"Oh please!" She laughs, "Your mother loves me!"
"I think you're right," I smile.
She grins in return, "You know I'm right."
