@Baekho /holds my hands in front of me, lightly kicking at the ground/
I know he won't kill me...He promised that at least..
/he also promised never to hurt me, but he does/
/shakes my head/
I can't go in..I'll be late if I go back in..
/rubs my arm, starting to get nervous/
I can't be late...not again..
/lifts my head a bit, looking around/
I-I need to go home..
/bites my lower lip, looking around desperately for a way to get back/
@Ren *sighs softly*
Some roommate. What to you pay him with? Your hospital bills?
*stands up and watches you; can't stop looking away because you are injured*
*looks away slightly*
People always have a choice... even if you have no where to go.
*watches you leave then come back to me*
What? Why don't you just come inside and I'll fix you up.
If you are thinking about going back to see him, you are crazy.
Aren't you scared that he will try to kill you?
@Baekho /wipes my face, turning away from you each time you try to check my face/
I'm fine..
/sits up and carefully touches my face with my fingertips, hissing softly in pain as my finger makes contact to the hurt areas of my face/
/looks at you with a bit of offense when you ask about me dating him/
I'm not dating him. Not anymore anyway. He's nothing more than a roommate. That's it. I'd never date him again.
/sighs and shakes my head, looking down at myself/
I know he doesn't love me. I know he uses me. But I'm not in a position to complain, so I don't.
/starts to stand up, getting up carefully as not to hurt myself more/
/sees my jacket in your hands and takes it from you/
Thank you very much. Now..I have to go.
/starts to walk down the street, pulling my jacket on to hide my shame underneath, zipping it all the way up/
/only started walking because I don't want to miss his deadline in fear that I'll get hurt more/
/stops when I realize I have nothing and turns to you/
I-I'm sorry...but, can you please spare some change? Just enough for a bus ride?
/can't look at you because I'm ashamed of having to ask a stranger that; my hood hanging over half my face as I look down at the ground/
@Ren *so badly wants to tell him off; but I'm restrained from being at work*
*bites my bottom lip and just waits until he leaves; pulling you gently away from his car*
Why the hell do you put up with an like that?
*looks at you and gently graze my fingers over your red cheek*
Why do you even date him if he does this to you? He doesn't even love you, he is just using you.
*checks over your new bruises*
You don't look fine. I need to get you inside.
@Baekho /coughs on the ground, already hurt from the beating I received an hour before arriving at the hospital/
/he pushes your arms away and looks at you, pissed off already from the things I said to him/
Dennis: Domestic violence?
/he scoffs and looks at me with disgust before looking at you again/
Dennis: You gonna arrest me doc? I don't think so.
/he pushes you out of the way and looks at me, laying in front of the driver side door/
/Dennis kicks me aside and I roll over a bit, holding my stomach/
Dennis: We're having a long talk when we get home Ren.
/he opens the door and gets in/
Dennis: Find your own way home, and you better not be late.
/he slams the door shut and drives off, leaving me hurt on the ground/
@Ren *sees you with your 'supposed' lover and goes to confront you two*
*parts my lips to call out for you but stops; my eyes widening slightly at what I just saw and grits my teeth*
Kang Baekho, you are so in trouble if you-
*tried to stop my body but in the end, it always does what it wants*
*grabs the man by his shoulder and moves him back and away from you*
I'm guessing you are the stairs that is hurting Mr.Choi?
Did you know you can get arrested for domestic violence?
@Baekho Dennis: What the was with your attitude back there Ren? If you're gonna act like that, then whats the point in making up stories.
/huffs; tired of his and yells back at him/
I don't know! What the is the point in lying?!
/hisses between my teeth, yanking my arm away from him/
To protect your sorry . That's the point.
/starts walking away to the car but he pins me against it; my front facing him/
Dennis: Don't you ever talk to me like that, .
/I give him the best glare I can possibly come up with/
?
/scoffs/
How original. Is that the best the great Dennis can do?
/tilts my head a bit, obviously amused/
/he steps back and slaps me right across my face, just in time for you to see/
/drops to the ground, holding my face and he kicks me in my side/
Dennis: Watch your ing mouth Ren or I'll kill you right here and send your body back in a plastic bag!
/gasps for air as I'm on the ground/
@Ren *looks back into the room and sees you forgot your jacket*
aish..
*takes it*
I hope I don't miss him.
*quickly walks out; dropping my clipboard at the front and goes to find you outside, hoping that I can return it to you before you leave*
@Baekho /nods slowly when you call my face beautiful before respectfully bowing my head to you/
Thank you Doctor Kang.
/looks at your nametag/
/walks out to see Dennis biting his nails nervously/
Dennis: What? How did it go? What did you tell him?
/winces as he takes my arm and hisses between my teeth softly so only he hears/
I didn't tell them it was you if that's what you mean.
/he glares at me and starts to pull me out of the hospital/
/rubs my arms, feeling like I'm missing something but shrugs it off/
@Ren *smiles and watches you before nodding*
mm...we're done done.
*softly ruffles your hair*
Please go down easily on the stairs, okay? I don't like seeing your pretty face like this- but I'm sure it'll become better, okay?
*smiles and writes down my last examinations before getting up to open the door for you*
Bye Mr.Choi.
@Baekho /follows your orders, looking left and right as you tell me to, squinting a bit at the brightness/
/blinks a couple times after you turn the light off and lets out a breath/
Is it... done done?
/looks at you, wondering if there's anything else that needs to be done/
@Ren *rolls my eyes; hating your attitude before turning the flash light on*
Look to your right.
*moves the flashlight horizontally and watches your eyes for anything*
look to your left.
*does the same thing as I did with the light*
Alright...it's fine. You are done.
*puts the flashlight away*
@Baekho /looks at you with a slight frown/
Punched? I didn't get punched.
I fell. Don't ask me how falling led to a busted up eye, but it happened.
/brushes the hair from my face/
Can we hurry?
/looks at you, waiting for you to shine bright like a diamond/
I have somewhere to be..
@Ren *watches your take your jacket off and stares at your body; your skin is pale and smooth besides the dark purple on some spots*
*sighs and nods*
alright.
*looks at you then gets a flashlight*
All I have to do is check your eye. There is a high chance of damage eyes if they are punched. Just follow the light and tells me if it hurts or not.
@Baekho /shakes my head, wanting you to hurry up/
Can I...
/pulls my hand away for a bit and slips my jacket off, my sweater still covering my arms/
/puts my hand back in yours/
No. I don't. I have my jacket.
/looks over at the door for a bit before looking back to you, waiting for you do finish/
@Ren Unless there is a piano following after them or they been stab yes- also if they are falling down from a bunch of stairs, then yes again. But really, stairway falls can't kill someone unless it is a murder.
*don't ask how I know so much*
*looks at your hand and turns it side to side, looking at all the bruises*
do you want some band-aids to hide your bruises?
*doesn't give a about Dennis*
@Baekho /narrows my eyes at you, not liking that you're basically calling me a liar, even though I am/
Falling down the stairs can kill someone, why can't it beat someone up?
/looks at your hand and slowly lifts my hand to rest it in yours/
/looks away, still not liking that you've seen my face/
/wants you to hurry up, knowing that Dennis is probably outside freaking out/
@Ren *sighs and looks at you; can't believe this right now*
Well I can't keep listing lies in the documents. You fell down the stairs?
*thinks*
I fell down the stairs once- never knew it could give me a black eye, bruised arms and legs plus a busted up lip.
*stares at you and nods as you just want to leave*
fine.
*holds out my hand*
give me your hand.
@Baekho /gets nervous and starts to stutter, looking away from you/
/nods a bit, biting my lower lip/
Y-yeah.. Kinda..
/starts biting my thumbnail/
I actually.. Actually I uhm.. I fell down the stairs.. at home.
Yeah..
/says it as if I was trying to convince myself rather than convince you/
/nods and finally looks at you after the lie, not being able to look people in the eye and lie/
Can I...
/sighs/
Can we please just get this over with so I can leave? I don't like being in the hospital.
/looks around the room, hugging my arms, feeling a bit uncomfortable/
@Ren *leads you into a room*
it's just about your last few visits and about the last time you came in...you were brutally beaten and there is no records on it.
It was just labeled that you fell..
*looks at you*
what are you coming in this time? because you 'fell' again?
*sternly stares at you*
@Baekho /he gives me a hard look and I nod/
Dennis: Fine. Make it quick.
/he stuffs his hands in his pocket and I walk up to you/
What private papers are those?
/keeps my head down, not really wanting to look/
@Ren *hears someone talk and looks up to see your face tarnished*
*looks at the guy next to you and sighs softly*
I'm sorry..the first 5 minutes, I need to talk to Mr.Choi alone. He has some private papers to fill out and I would like to tell him this in private.
I'm sorry, but could you wait out here for a bit?
*really means this. If I did not have the papers, I would have let him in*
@Baekho /stands up when I hear my name and gets held back by Dennis as he pulls on my arm/
/winces in pain and shoots him a hard glare/
I can go in by myself. I don't need you there.
/hisses between my teeth and he gives me a look, making me scared as if I were a little puppy that has been cornered/
O-okay.. H-hurry..
/looks up at you but looks back down, ashamed of my face/
I-I'm Mr. Choi...
Dennis: Can we just get this over with, doc?
/he looks impatient like he wants to leave, the guilt obvious on his face/
@Ren *was busy on a break; talking to an elder women that is very sick and is in bed*
*hears I have a patient waiting and nods before saying bye to the elder women*
Well Mrs. Park, I'll see you some other time, okay?
*waves bye and goes to call for my patient*
Mr.Choi? I'm ready to see you now.
*smiles; looking at my clip board ; I don't know how you look like*
@Baekho /looks down as I walk into the hospital, ashamed to show my beaten up face as my roommate Dennis walks calmly next to me as if he did nothing/
/gets checked in and goes to sit in the waiting room, my eye black, lip busted, face and arms bruised and beaten up/
/we sit down and he looks at me as I look down still, hating that he came with me, but knows why/
/waits to be called in to see a doctor, hoping that he isn't allowed in the room with me when I get checked up/
