@Nurse Kim Kibum Save yourself for me, kitten. /catches your fist before pulling it to my lips to press a single kiss to your knuckles, taking one of my coats from off the rack nearby and draping it around your shoulders while pressing a kiss to your forehead, wanting you to stay warm/ I'll see you again.

@Nurse Kim Kibum /sighs out, still refusing to give in/ don't be selfish, kibum. There are others who need you more. /brushes my fingers through your hair, tucking the strands behind your ear before leading you to the front door and pulling it open/ go home.

@Nurse Kim Kibum /shakes my head no/ I need time to myself and you have patients with real problems that need you. You should go take care of them. /cups your cheek, pulling you closer as I press my lips to your own for a sweet yet brief kiss/ do this for me.

@Nurse Kim Kibum /startles when the ac kicks on, looking up to see you and immediately moving to my feet/ nothing. As far as they know, you had no part in this. You should go back, the longer you're away, the more suspicious everyone will get/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /settles on the kitchen floor next to the cat after getting it food and water, eyes closed and head tilted back against the cabinet, stroking my fingers through the fur, calming down considerably into a peaceful state of mind, glad to finally be home/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /hears wretched screaming seconds later, watching as a grey cat hurls it's way at me, the last of my resolve breaking down, swallowing forced sobs as I pick up the starved creature, tears steaming down my paled cheeks as I press my face into the matted fur, mumbling countless apologies while trailing off to the kitchen to get it some food, clinging to the creature for comfort/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /heads to my old home, standing on the doorsteps and taking up the key hidden from under the mat before letting myself in to the dead silent room, flipping on a light switch as I fall to my knees and close my eyes, finally feeling a touch of my sanity returning now that my old life doesn't feel like it was only a dream/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /ignores the pleas and pain of listening to you cry, pressing the distance between us as i quicken my footsteps, needing a break from it all and time to clear my head; deep, ragged breaths falling from my lips as I shiver from the scantily clad clothing protecting me against the cold, feeling numb both inside and out/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /jerks my arm from your grasp, turning to face you with a cold glare/ I had a life, a job that I loved and it was ripped away from me. Now I'm left in cell to rot, every day, wondering when I may go back. I will always carry that resentment in my heart. You'll find a way to manage without them knowing it was you. Goodbye, nurse. /reaches out to cup your cheek, leaning in to press a gentle kiss to your forehead/ thank you for making that miserable place bearable. /pulls away before starting my long walk home and taking a deep breath/

@Nurse Kim Kibum I'm sorry /shakes my head, feeling my chest swell with pain as I move away from your hand, unable to look at you any more as I begin walking towards the road/

@Nurse Kim Kibum /purses my lips, keeping a watchful eye on you as I begin to move back/ I'm not crazy. People arent meant to be locked up. You know that better than anyone. Let me go.

@Nurse Kim Kibum I'm not coming back here. /freezes when you lean against me, taking you by the shoulders to gently push you back to look at me/ I don't belong.

@Nurse Kim Kibum /stares down at your grip on my shirt, uncapping the water bottle and taking a chug from it/ my house. My bar. My family.

@Nurse Kim Kibum Bull. They're factory sealed. /reels in distaste, slowly backing up while opening another sandwich and tearing into it, groaning at the taste/ you tell me, I'm the prisoner.

@Nurse Kim Kibum /stiffly follows after you, completely eating it all within the next three bites, still standing while continuing to look around, intrigued/ better than the crappy muffins I would get every morning
