I want to scream. This can't be happening. This Is totally blowing my mind right now.
"You lied to me!!" All of a sudden Squirrely shouts, making me turn my attention back to him. I can't have him panic, that is the last thing I'm looking forward to.
"You.... You" He is about to say something but suddenly he start swinging on his feet. Is the drug hitting him strongly now. He'll collapse soon and if that happened, I don't know what I'll actually do.
"You are in a hospital and there are other patients here as well, so I did not lie to you. I know you want to leave ok?? I know you hate this place and I'll help you out, just trust me for the next 20 minutes. Please" He slowly nods and his eyes wander toward the door again.
"Honey!!" That old man's voice will wake up half of the hospital if I don't shut him up soon.
"I will take care of the man you just heard ok?? Stay here and wait for me to come back. Don't move" Are my last words to him before I run out the door, into the hallway.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. I lost almost another 10 minutes while trying to convince Squirrely, not to go into panic mode but now I can feel myself sinking into panic.
I run through the hallways and finally find the old man walking down one of them. It's mister Kim the one who just couldn't deal with his wife's death, so his son put him in here. He still talks to her everyday even thought she is actually not there.
I can't blame the man, his wife was the only person he had in this world, of course if we count out his evil son. He is super kind but his hallucinations are tiring sometimes.
"Mister Kim" I gently say while trying to hide my heavy breathing. He turns around with a worm smile on his face.
"Good evening young lady." He greets me "Hello. It's not evening though. Mister Kim Its 3:28am in the morning. May I ask why are you awake??" I pull out my phone and turn on the screen. He looks at the phone scream and his eyes look at the clock.
"My wife wanted to show me something in the garden. She said there is a new flower she grew. I really want to see it" He smiles at me once again while his finger is pointing toward the garden door.
"Oh really?? I'm sure it looks beautiful but are you sure your wife won't scold you for talking so loud at this time. You might wake up the other patients that want to rest"
"You are right. She will yell at me again" He stands there staring at the ground for a few seconds before turning back to me. "I don't want her to yell at me again. She looks scary when she is yelling" I chuckle a bit while trying to stay as calm as possible.
"Would you like me to escorts you to your bedroom then" He nods and we start walking toward his room. The man is slower than a snail. I mean he is old of course he is slow but my nerves are having a race between blowing up or just simply dieing right now. I help him walk in hopes we move a little faster since another 6 minutes passed by now.
Finally we reach his room and I help him get on his bed. I make sure to wrap the blanket around him before leaving the room. The moment I close the door my feet turn around and start running toward Squirrely's room. He needs to be there, if he is not there I will seriously lose it.
As I get closer I see the opened door and in the next moment I storm inside the room. You gotta be kidding me. My eyes search the dark room in an instant only to find out it's complitely damn empty. He left.
Automatically my feet turn around again and the moment I walk outside my gaze is torn by the two hallways. The one that leads toward the front desk and one that leads toward the patients rooms and the back door.
For a moment my feet freeze at the spot not knowing which way to take. I feel like a storm is throwing my thoughts left and right. I can't think straight the panic is crawling up slowly second by second.
I need to find him but... where do I look?? Where would he go?? I walk back into the room and take by backpack before going anywhere. I should definitely not forget my backpack.
In that moment another scream echos through the hallways of the hospital. What now?? I at least got my answer. The scream came from the front desk and that pretty much tells me that my coworker is up. I run toward the front desk and of course he is not here, I scan the space with my eyes before continuing my run further into the hospital.
He can't be far, so where the hall is he?? I spot a man standing on the end of the hallway without making much movement. His mumbling can be heard even here and as I get closer I see another body laying on the ground in the corner on the end of the hallway.
I approach them and now I can tell them apart. Squirrely is laying on the ground while my coworker is looking around not knowing what to do.
"What is going on??" I ask while trying to hide the fact that I can barely breathe by now and also the fact that I know exactly what's going on.
"He- He. How did he get out. Oh my god. We should call someone" He takes his phone out and I can see his hands shaking. "The director o- or the police. There is no way he would get out. H- He never got out before. He is to d- dangerous" Even his voice Is shaking. Damn.. what a cry baby. I have to make sure he doesn't call anyone thought.
"Are you out of your mind. Do you want to get fired. It's better to just return him to his room." I need to get rid of him. This is a one shot try, I can't let this guy destroys everything I've done untill now. And is not just me the boys depend on me as well.
He nods at me and turns his head back toward Squirrely. "Pick him up" I say and thank god he is scared as shit because I need to do something. And I need to do it fast.
My eyes scan our surroundings fast and they land one specific thing. The fire extinguisher. Without having second thoughts my legs take me toward it and my hands pull the red metal tube out of the stand on the wall.
Damn it's heavy. How the fuck am I supposed to hit him with this. But I can't let the plan flop, I have done to much to let it crumble down. I won't bring trouble on Seungmin and Minho at least not more than they already are in. And I will get Squirrely out of here.
I don't know if it's my determination or my muscles, but I lift the tube up and swing it as hard as I can. It hits my coworker directly In the head at the same time he was about to turn around to see why all the noise.
He collapses on the ground and the tube makes it's full swing hitting my leg. It hurts like hell but I need to keep moving. I take 10 seconds for the pain to fade away as much as possible before turning back to my coworker to check on him.
I didn't break his skull, that's a good thing. I mean I didn't expect to break it but it can still happen.
After I check up on him I turn to Squirrely that seems to be sleeping. The drug hit him already so he's not waking up anytime soon. What if I carry him?? No he's probably to heavy.
I stand here for around 30 seconds staring at him in the dark, still not able to provide a good solution. He looks cute once you focus on his face.
I shake off the thought realizing the boys expected us to came out around 25 minutes ago. Knowing Minho he'll try to act it cool but is probably panicking like a little girl by now.
Since I can't came up with another idea, I try to lift him up on my back and see how heavy he actually is. At least he's not much taller than me just for a few centimeters which is a good thing.... I guess.
I grab his wrists and pull them over my shoulders. His body slides on mine and my eyes almost widen at how light he is. For a 21 years old guy he is way to light I'm not sure if he's even heavier than me and I'm around 50 kilograms. For a man he should be at least 60 kilograms considering his hight. Even Minho has 65 kilograms and he is not that tall himself.
Standing up with him isn't such a challenge as I thought. Well I can't really keep my balance from the begining so I hit his back on the wall a few times before standing steady on my feet. He'll be fine thought.
"Sorry... To both of you" I say as my eyes look toward my coworker for the last time. I am kinda relived that Squirrely ran this far before collapsing, because we are closer to the back door now. I can see it one the end of the hallway actually.
I start moving carefully because I don't want to lose my balance or trip and drop him. Injuring him is the last thing I want right now, so practically we are moving extremely slow. The door doesn't seem to get any closer with every step I take. My tiredness is probably getting to me as well by now but I have to get out. Now.
I keep taking step by step untill I finally reach the door. I slide my magnetic card that only the workers here have on the small square box and the door automatically open.
I step out and slowly walk down the stairs to only look around and figure out this is the wrong back door. There are two back doors, one where we throw the trash and one where we can park our cars. I was supposed to meet the boys at the one where we can park our cars, not here.
What do I do?? My brain disconnects from me for a moment as I just stand there holding Squirrely's legs up. His head is laid on my back and I can almost feel his breath on my neck. It's kinda relaxing but that doesn't stop the fact that he is still heavy.
I need to get out of the camera range before calling anyone because the plan was not to let their faces be seen. I look around and notice two cameras, if I enter the alley that leads to the street I will be out of the range. I take a step but a wave of pain shoots through my body.
"What the hell" I murmur to myself as I try to detect where the pain is coming from. If my brain is still working it's coming from my ankle. Is it from the accidental hit with the fire extinguisher just a few minutes ago.
It doesn't mater. Even if it gets worst I need to make just a few more steps. Just a few more and then Minho and Seungmin will help.
With that thought I keep moving despite the pain shivering through my whole leg. I finally make my way through the small space behind the hospital and slowly let go of Squirrely's legs. I carefully place his head against the wall and sit in front of him. Now that was something I didn't think I'll even succeed in my entire life.
I pull my phone out and roll Minho's number, it doesn't ring even for two seconds before I hear his voice come through the speaker.
"Where the hell are you??" I can feel his anger travel down my ear as his voice cames out. "You were supposed to be out 40 minutes ago"
"I'll explain later, now you have to came to the other back door. I missed the exit." He is about to question me but he swallows it fast and I hear him tell Seungmin to drive.
"We'll be there" He says and hangs up the phone. Now I've got nothing to do other than wait.
Just a little bit more and the first step of the plan will be over. I lean on the wall next to Squirrely and and finally take a breath. I didn't realize this before but... I feel so tired.

Thank you for reading â¤ï¸ð¤
I just noticed I forgot to put a picture in the 9th chapter but I'm pretty sure not many of you actually noticed it. I'm also getting on my nerves for a few weeks now because I always forget to put this author note in bold, since I want to separate it from the story above.... WELL ANYWAY get ready for them to kill each other.
