Yesterday I worked as usual, smile here and there, help around and listen to him scream again.
But not today.
As usually I woke up and dragged my sleepy ass to work. Suddenly the atmosphere doesn't feel so worm in here anymore.
I feel like a bird closed in a box right now. Is this how Squirrely sees the hospital for the past 12 years?? I don't know but that will end soon.
I swear to god if this perfect yet stupid plan works, I will never let him enter a hospital in his life, ever again.
The D-day is coming soon and before it cames there are a few things we have to play out.
One of the most important is to make sure to get more evidence. This is risky but there is no other way, we need more evidence than just Han Jisung witnessing.
--2 NIGHTS AGO--
"We need more evidence thought" Minho is walking up and down the room, his hair messed up from all the thinking and his eyes keep squeezing together, trying not to give up.
"We will also need to steal the drug. I'm not sure we can buy these sedatives just like that, so I'll have to steal them from the hospital. If we just stop giving him the combined drug he'll be out of the game fast." the thought of stealing a medicine isn't tiring the question 'How do I do it and stay unnoticed is'.
"And you are right, we will need more evidence. They can easily came up with something if we only get Han Jisung... omg can we give him a nickname?? It's so tiring to alway say his full name" He looks at me and I can read in his eyes that he agrees.
His gaze then falls on the pictures on the table and the laptop screen.
"His cheeks are so puffy.. low-key cute. He reminds me of something thought" I look at the pictures myself and he does remind of something. Damn.
"Do you think he can store food in his cheeks like squirrels do??" Minho says looking up at me. Without tiring my gaze from the pictures I imagine his cheeks full of food. If my imagination is not lying, he would definitely look like a Squirrely with one of the biggest storages of food.
"Squirrely.." I muttered out without even realizing. Minho turns his head toward me with a surprised look "Not bad Min Jieun, not bad. You came up with something good for once in your life." He says sarcastically. I just give him a glare before shaking off his comment.
"Ok back to square one. We need evidence that will finish the job" Once again we both get lost in thoughts. This has to be perfect. Everything needs to be at point. If we miss one thing things will crash down like domine.
"If we get an audio that should help more than enough" Minho murmurs out.
"That's nearly impossible. There are cameras almost everywhere around the hospital. How will you place a mic in the directors office??" He puts on his signature playful look.
"Who said anything about placing a mic in his office. We can place it on the director himself" It makes sence. For example if we stick it on the directors coat he will never notice.
"I hope your acting is still as good as in high school" I can't help but smirk. I still have my innocent charms, fresh prepared for action. Since he knows the answer his mind quickly moves on with the plan.
"Stilling the sedatives is all on you as well. I can't help with everything that is happening inside the hospital, so I'm counting on your skills and my brain." He raises his fist up "Hwaiting"
"Hwaiting" I need to give the motivation back, after all he kinda has it harder. He will have to keep his identity hidden from day one and it probably won't last long before they find out he's involved.
This can get him kicked out of college and It will be all my fault. Damn I'm destroying my best friends nonexistent future.
"Ok after you get the drug, we will have to act immediately. I think it's best to steal it on the day we get him out. If you do It before they might notice it."
--PRESENT--
I know the director will go for his daily coffee in the hospital kitchen. He cames late in everyday and goes for coffee right away, so I just need to wait for that old little piece of... yes. Ok. I better calm my nerves down first.
Let's finish the assigned work for today first. I have 2 hours before he cames down I should use them wisely. I don't know what keeps me so happy but I can't wait to start with the plan. With my happy face I keep jumping around helping everyone patiently waiting for the time to pass by.
And DANG it's 1pm. SHOW TIME!! I casually stand in front of the front desk and as soon as the director shows in my sight I head toward the kitchen. Thank god nobody is here. This is going to be way easier if I don't have to worry about other people playing angles with me.
To make the situation seem like coincidence, I start to make actual coffee for the director and not too long after he enters the small kitchen. I give him a small yet shining smile and a small bow.
"Good afternoon sir. Would you like a cup of coffee??" Being polite was never a hard thing for me even thought right now, I feel like punching him in the face.
"I would like one please" He shows politeness but nothing can cure my hatred for this bastard.
I calmly wait for the coffee to be cooked and than pour it inside of two separated cups. And here I go. I poured his until the edge purposely so my next action seems more like an accident. I walk toward him slowly acting like I don't want to spill it. And finally as I am close enough, I trip on my own step and ops the coffee flies all over him.
"Oh I'm so sorry sir!!" He looks all over himself with an expression not so pleased.
"Damn It" A small curst escapes his lips as he looks back at me "You should be more careful. Look what you did. Unbelievable!!" I bow a few times to him trying to act all innocent. Ahh I'm disgusted in myself right now.
"I am really sorry sir. Please let me clean your coat for you." I stretch my arms for him to give me his coat as he starts to take it off.
"It's ok I can do it myself" Don't play hard to get baby cos I will get it one way or another.
"No I insist. It's my fault and I would like to clean up my mess" For a moment I can see him hesitating but after a few seconds he straightens up his old back and looks at me.
"You are well behaved miss..?? His eye's travel to my name tag and he finishes his sentence. "Miss Min. I like people who take care of their mistakes. I belive you will return this to me tomorrow then." He hands me the coat and I fake a sweet smile.
"Don't worry sir. I will make sure to wash it well" I take the coat in my own hands and can't wait for him to leave, so I can show my sweet disgust.
"I will be heading to the office now. You made a strong expression on me miss Min, I think I'll be able to remember your name for a long time." Oh don't worry you sure will.
"Thank you sir. Please take my coffee since yours didn't survive long." He laughs and then takes my coffee and finally leaves the damn kitchen.
"Step one accomplished" I put his coat in the bag that I brought with me this morning and head out to finish all my daily tasks before going home. I also have to sign for the night shift.
--
"I'm home!!" I enter the apartment knowing Minho is inside. A pleasing smell coming from the kitchen catches my attention, as I walk toward it. I enter the kitchen and see Minho preparing two bowls of ramen.
"Did you get it" His eyes look at me with curiosity as I place a satisfying smile on my face.
"I sure did" I say as I start to wave with the bag in my hand.
"Ok!! Great!! Go put it in the washing machine and came eat" I do as he sais and place the coat into the washing machine, then return in the kitchen with my stomach desperately looking for food.
"I got the mic" Minho holds up a tiny mic between his fingers. "We just need to place it on a perfect spot but let's eat up for now." He says while pointing toward the two bowls of ramen on the table.
I'm surprised he even prepared something. Looks like the excitement is flowing inside both of us, even thought what we are doing is insane. We don't even have a plan B, questions such as 'What is we get caught?? What if they find us right away?? What if Squirrely never gets better??' never really flew through our minds and we are not letting them anytime soon.
Squirrely is wronged and we both want to pull him out of that hospital. We will pull him out. For now all we have to focus on is getting more proof through that mic. If we actually get more evidence we will stand on a more stable ground in the future.
While eating Minho shows me the online class program he singed up for. Since I won't really be able to deal with Squirrely on my own, he will take the online course for the next month or two.
After we eat up Minho takes the coat into the drying machine. He even brought a sewing accessories set so we can truly hide the small mic anywhere we want.
"What about we put it on the side of the pocket or in the sleeve" His suggestion is good but to obvious.
"Nah, he'll feel it sooner or later... Where is the place you never check on a jacket or coat??" I think for a moment, before something cames to my mind.
"What about the area behind the neck?? The director always has the part behind the neck curved down, which makes that area on his coat literally invisible."
"Ooo we can sew it behind the curved part so he never sees it. Good one" He holds his hand up and I give him a high five.
After we finish he tries it on to see if the mic is visible. We don't want to take any chances so we took the mic down and sew it up again this time being a little more oriented then before.
"It looks good. Try to touch it or fix the way it looks to see if you can feel any weight or anything in general." He does as I say and he even turns around a few times like a professional model.
"Your director should work out more" He chuckles as he checks himself out in the mirror.
"Tell me about it" He then takes the coat off and places it back into the bag.
"Since I singed up for the online classes this morning we are almost all set up. When if your first night shift??" He looks at me with his curious eyes. Minho really wants to have every detail of the plan planed. I'm not complaining but the fact that we can actually plan something like this scares me a little bit I guess. Hahaha next is a heist probably.
"I also signed up for the night shift this morning. Tomorrow I'll get the information, I'm sure I will be working the night shift in two days already since nobody wants to take it."
"Hmm even better. Like we talked before, it's best if you observe how things go during the first night and then we make our move" Once again he shows the determination in his eyes and I can't help but smirk a little.
I'm getting really excited.
