9. DON’T YOU TRUST ME

"Where did you run off to" she repeated her words looking straight into Jae Won's eyes. "Urrrm…urrm..I hat…" Jae Won couldn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by someone. They all turned to take a look at this person. Their eyes met a fair colored Ghanaian man wearing his doctor gown looking so good to be a god "what do think you are doing over there" he asked the nurse who was so close to Jae Won. "Doctor Charles you are back" she said which lighten up Vincent's eyes to now identify the savior of Jae Won.

Vincent stoop up and walked towards the doctor who cannot identify the person he saved staring at Jae Won while Vincent was busily greeting him "good morning, Doctor" but he was avoided. " We came to make inquiries about the Asian you saved" he continued. This brought the doctor's attention to him now he mentioned an Asian which jolted his memory about the Asian taking the attention of the nurse.

"Ah, you are the Asian I brought to the hospital" he asked walking towards to Jae Won. "I didn't get to take a good look at you since I went on a business trip after I brought you to the hospital" he continued. He now turned to look at Vincent who seems to be bothered because he was ignored while they all paid attention to his friend he thought. "Let's go to my office" he said to Vincent pointing directly to his office.

Vincent and Jae Won followed the doctor to his office. His office is quiet and private, with a closed door to ensure patients confidently. A small window high up on one wall which allows in natural light, adding a sense of calm to the space. Doctor Charles now pointed to a chair for them to be seated.

"What can I do for you" he asked Vincent who is now satisfied to be noticed I may say. "I heard you saved my friend here and we came to pay any bills that was left and also to thank you" Vincent said while he turned to look at Jae Won back and forth. The doctor sighed heavily as if he was waiting for this day to come. Doctor Charles narrated the day he was at the beach and how he saved Jae Won brought him to the hospital but had to go away because of a business.

"Thank you for saving him" Vincent said looking at the doctor who seems to be angry. "You seemed angry, it's everything alright" Vincent asked the doctor. The doctor scratched his hair as he stood up from his chair walked towards the window " I received a call only to be met that the patient I brought had escaped" he said while he walked towards Jae Won who looks shy and guilty for doing that but we can't blame him.

"Why did you run away" doctor Charles asked him but with no response "I've paid for every bill that was up and yet to come, so why did you run away from the hospital" he continued. This time he went back to his seat clicking on his computer, after a few seconds he turned the computer towards Vincent and Jae Won showing them a scan results showing on the computer screen, displaying a detailed images of Jae Won's internal structures. The marked point were the injury sustained by Jae Won.

The scan results show a small contusion on the left side of the head, mild strain on the muscles and tendon and a minor fracture in the waist and no other significant injuries. "The overall scan results indicate a minor injury, consistent with being hit by a car at a low speed or being involved in a minor accident" said by the doctor who seems worried about Jae Won. "But you said he was found at the beach" Vincent asked with a confused look.

"Were you in an accident" Vincent turned to asked Jae Won but he shooked his head in denial "I don't remember" he replied to Vincent with his down all this while. "It's okay, everything will be alright" Vincent continued patting Jae Won at the back. "I'm afraid of the hospital" Jae Won said while biting his finger nails. "What" "you are" was said by Vincent and the doctor at the same time. "Why" the doctor asked.

Jae Won continued by telling them how his elder brother was involved in an accident and had been in comatose for almost two years making him scared whenever he visited his brother with the feeling he might die. The police said he was drinking and driving at the same time but Jae Won said he didn't believe them because his brother was someone who hated alcohol especially those who drunk and drive "so how can they tell me if he was driving and drinking at the same time" he ended his narration with tears running down his cheek uncontrollably making the doctor and Vincent out of words to console him.

"But you didn't say anything about your brother to me" Vincent blurted out before he could think. "I'm so sorry" this phrase were said at the same time between the doctor and Vincent. "Let's go get you scan and see what your body is up to after your not remember accident and you running away from the hospital" the doctor said looking at Vincent who nodded in agreement.

Doctor Charles took him for check up and an hour later he came back with Jae Won while Vincent was at the waiting area looking scared. When he heard Jae Won was involved in accident, he had been scared since he is partly of it not taking him to the hospital when he almost hit him with his car but took home when he clearly said he run away from the hospital. "If something happens to him because of me, I'm never ever gonna forgive myself" he thought.

He raised up his head only to see the doctor and Jae Won approaching him and without hesitation he walked fast to meet them halfway bombarding them with questions leaving no room for an answer. "It's okay, everything is alright in his body now" the doctor said making Vincent signed from relief. He hugged Jae Won without realizing "I'm sorry" that's the only words that came from his mouth.

"How much is the bill from then and now" Vincent asked the doctor but he shooked his head in disagreement but Vincent insisted on paying the bills which left the doctor with no choice "just pay for today's bill and leave the rest since it's already been taken care off long time" the doctor said which made Vincent a little relaxed.

They went ahead and paid to the receptionist. "Can I invite you to hang out sometimes" Vincent asked the doctor making him loss of words "uuurm" he said. "I like you and would like to be your friend if you don't mind" Vincent continued looking straight in the doctor's eyes. "Okay I would love to" the doctor replied. "Then let's exchange contact, I will call you to schedule a day for three of us to hang out whenever you are free" he said while he looked at Jae Won who kept staring at them with the look is that how easily to make friends. When his only friend he made turned to be his boyfriend but betrayed him for money. "Let's go home for you to rest" Jae Won heard this making him snapped out of his day dreaming "okay" Jae Won replied.

They said their goodbyes to the doctor while they left for their car. After Jae Won put on his seatbelt, he was attacked by Vincent's handsome face which was so close to him "why didn't you tell me about your brother, don't you trust me enough" he asked making Jae Won more guilty "it's just that I find it hard to talk about" he said while pushing Vincent head to where it supposed to be. "Don't you wanna go back to Korea now" Vincent asked again which surprised Jae Won where the hell is this coming from look on his face. "Urrrm I will but not now, I want to be here for a while" he replied with his head bend down from whatever he was trying to hide making Vincent blushed.

"It's okay, I don't want you to go now" Vincent blurted it out making Jae Won turned to look at him with something in his eyes Vincent couldn't quite put his finger on it. "Okay let's go now" he said turning on the engine making their way out of the hospital.

"I'm ready to listen to about your family whenever you are ready" Vincent said while he turned to look at Jae Won who smiled to what Vincent said. " I will tell you all about my family, when I'm ready" he also replied smiling widely which made him relaxed.

"Okay and I will be wait…." Vincent was cut off with sound of his phone ringing which interrupted him to complete his sentence. He received the call and a few seconds later after he hanged up the phone he sped up. "What's wrong" Jae Won asked the moody man whose reaction changed all of a sudden. "Urrrrn, my mother wants me to be in the house now" he said while speeding not looking at Jae Won. "Why" Jae Won asked with worry on his face.

Vincent scratching his head with nervousness shown all around him "she said something has happened, but she didn't want to tell me on the phone" he replied. "Okay" Jae Won said not knowing what awaits them in the house which made him worry.

"EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT" Jae Won said patting at the back of Vincent.
