" Come on doc~ I am sure we can work something out. " The smug smile on his face as his chubby hand subtly placed the neatly rolled up pack of money into my pocket only made me feel even sicker to my stomach. " Just have another look. The boy is fine. He just needs some vitamins and will be back on stage in a few hours. He needs to be up on the stage in a few hours.” The emphasis couldn’t be clearer as the same hand was now rubbing my arm. I could feel the last bit of self-restrain leaving my body. Blood was boiling in my veins at his outrageous words. “If it would make your decision easier, I can even get him to sign something for you. Are you an ËXO fan? He can even sing for you" Sure he can. Maybe even put him to dance while hooked up with that IV. Of course, he would think that would make me melt over and decide that my patient's health is less important than some signed merch. I guess that's how their world works but not here. Not in my ER.

“I need to get out of here. With my first solo music show apparition in the next few hours... I must go over the routines and the tech test as well since the pitch was all wrong last time in the studio. Joonim also wanted me to have the costume fitting as well. Damn I should check on my members...Talk to Suho hyung and apologise...” My brain was fired up with the long schedule that was only for the next few hours, yet I knew how important this was. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity of a solo promotion and that requires me to work hard not disappoint everyone by laying in this hospital bed. My fists hit the bed as my anger surged through my body. Even with all my determination to fix the situation, the familiar dizziness took over and made me collapse back against the fluffy pillows as soon as I attempted to get up. In all the silence you could clearly hear the pump machine carefully dosing out the fluids through the IV. Through the peacefulness of my room the unmistakably voice of Joonim just outside the door made my eyes tiredly snap towards it. From this position I could clearly make out the silhouette of the young doctor as my manager leaned closer to her. Hana was her name? Seeing the pack of cash sliding into her pocket I knew that soon I will be discharged and put on my way with some sort of vitamins that are supposed to pump me up and keep me energized through the schedules. Only to return to the hospital later. I guess that is how their world works. Even in the most prestigious hospitals and with the good doctors like her. Money and power always win.
