2026-05-13 17:55:41I spotted David the moment I step in the hospital, he was pacing around, the nurse area, he jacket was half around his arms, he tie bit lossen and hanging around his neck.
He looked like some one who has been holding his breath for too long. "Ryo" he said the second he saw me. Relief washed over his face, so fast it almost startled me. He crossed the space that was between us and grab my hands like he was afraid that I might disappear. " Ryo thank God you are here" he said, his grip still tight, too tight. " I came as soon as you called, what happened" I asked. She fell into the water, I don't know what happened, but she started screaming, drowning, I thought I had lost her. " is okay" let's see her first, I said. He nodded, and pulled me into the hall way taking the lead, talking on the whole way, talking about how pale she looks, about her scared he was, about how she was shaking even in the ambulance, half if my mind started getting to work, started thinking what ti treat her, which drugs to give. That's how is stayed clam. Eve was laying on the hospital bed, when we entered, white sheets pulled neatly around her body, her face looked pale, under the harsh light. " David" she whispered when she saw him. David rushed towards her, taking her into his both hands, "I'm right here princess" he said softly, " I'm right here." I stayed back watching all the drama's, she turned her head sightly to stare at me, fora moment something flicker in her eyes, not fear, or sadness. But awareness. Then she colsed her eyes again. Then I moved a foot towards her bed, carrying her chart to read it. I scanned it carefully, vitals are stable, oxygen level were normal Blood work showed nothing almaring, no sign of infection, ni damaged lungs, which was strange, but everything pointed out the simple truth that she was faking it. " she is fine" I said after a moment of over checking. David turned to me sharply, what do you by she is fine. I mean "I medically confirmed it that she is fine." Her oxygen levels are fine, she doesn't have any infection at all, according to her report she could be discharged right here and now. Eve shifted sightly raising her eyebrows, " I don't feel good, I'm weak" she she slowly. David frowned, " look at her Ryo " she doesn't look okay. Looking sick doesn't mean, she sick, I said keeping my voice even. " what matters is what the medical test shows." I could feel eve's eyes on my this time she didn't look away. " I feel miserable" she said, " my cheast feels heavy." " According to the report " I began. I didn't get to finish. When eve started coughing. Not a light cough, or a nervous cough, but a violent cough. " I can't breathe", she said, " it hurts so much." David panic quickly " nurse, doctor someone please help me. The ward, explored with movement of the nurses, a doctor appeared beside a nurse, someone fixing oxygen mask over eve face. Eve keeps coughing and holding David hand so tight like he was her anchor. My stomach drooped. I stood there frozen, my mind racing, this doesn't seem right at all, non of it did, her vitals had been normal, there has been no warning but yet. David turned to me his eyes blazing, " didn't you say eve was okay?." His accusations in hus voice was sharp enough to cut. " I said the report, before I could finish, he turned his back at me. His attention fully on eve again. He whispered reassurance, touching her hair, his hands shaking, his eyes filled with fear and I stood there looking useless, clenching my hands tight. Her breathing slowly ease. The nurses stepped back for the doctor to check her, the doctor checked her chart, but frowning, then nooded, she steady. " we will continue watching her" the doctor said. David felt relieved. David finally turned to me, his face tight now, but not out of panic, but frustration. "Come with me " he said. He didn't ask polite, he just grabbed my hands out of the ward, down the hall, he stopped near a wall were no one could see or hear us. " I know you don't like eve" he said quietly, he tone wasn't Calm, it was accusing, I know you think, she always exaggerats. I stared at. " what?." I know you think she dramatic, but she won't fake something, or fake her health issues. My chest tighten, the more." Wait u think I lied about her health or something." " No" I'm just saying you might be basied, he said. You never hid your dislike. And that hit harder. I read her "chart David. " I checked her results and everything was normal, nothing wrong. " and yet she couldn't breathe" he shot back " I saw it, I was right there." " just because you panicked doesn't matter?." I asked. He sighed like I was exhausting him, "why you getting so defensive." " Because you are questioning my work," 'when do you start doubting my work." My own work David when?." I shot back. He rubbed his hands on his Head, common Ryo, you never liked her. If course that will change your feeling it something. I'm a doctor, David a doctor, I don't bring personal things over my patients, David, I said frustrated. He hesitated for a second. And he said everything. I'm not saying something like, I'm just trying to say maybe you not objective as you think you are. He said. Something cold settled in my heart. " so after all this years, you think I would risk some one's life because of jealousy." I stare at him in disbelief. He frowned, " you are twisting my word's." No I'm not, I'm hearing you clearly. I said. He stepped closer and low his voice behind my ear's and speak calming, like he was calming a little child. " look I don't want tension I just want the people I love to get along." He said. "The people I care about." He said it like I was an obstacle. He pulled me into a sudden hug. One arm around my body, the kind of hug that meant something. " I just hope my best friend and my wife can co exist." He said. Is that too much to ask? he said again. My body went stiffed, I felt something, like my heart breaking. " of course"I said. He laughed and pulled away. He smiled half smile and said "buddy are you jealous?" You aren't jealous right?. Eve once joke and said we were so closed she though you were gay, he said laughing.

🦋𝔉𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔨🦋By the time I got to my car, I had already made my decision.I didn't get inside immediately. Instead, I stood there, thinking about everything that had happened.Part of me had gone quiet.Seeing Ryo tied up in those photos had broken something inside me. It felt like it was my fault he was there.He looked like he wouldn't survive.My mind kept drifting to the word if.I hated that word.I didn't even want to think about it.But somehow, they were right about one thing.If I hadn't pushed him away, if I hadn't done something wrong, Ryo wouldn't have left the club. He would still be in his apartment.Instead, he was tied to a chair by people who had no idea what they were doing.This was on me.I don't like it when people touch what's under my protection.And I definitely don't like it when people mess with what's mine.I turned around and headed back into my office building.Not because I needed anything.There were ju

My head turned slightly to the side.That was it.For a second, my brain lagged behind, like it needed a moment to process what had just happened.Then I looked back at Ryo.He looked worse than I did.His hand was still hanging in the air, frozen there as if he couldn't believe what he'd just done.His face was red.Not the bright red of anger.The ugly red of humiliation.The kind that comes when someone loses control of themselves.His breathing was uneven.Too fast.Too shallow.For a strange moment, I thought he might actually cry."Don't ever talk to me like that," he said.His voice shook.Then he turned and walked out.No apology.No explanation.Not even a second glance.The bathroom door slammed shut behind him.I stayed where I was.I didn't stop him.I didn't call his name.I just stood there staring at the door he had disappeared through.Slowly, I lifted a hand to m

Frank handed me a towel as soon as we left the hospital.I took it quickly and pressed it against my face. It was rough against my skin. I dragged it slowly over my hair, my forehead, my eyes.I was crying.The tears came so fast I couldn’t stop them. They soaked the towel almost immediately. My chest was beating too fast, like it couldn’t keep up with me.I hated this. I hated that I was crying just because David didn’t come out to help me with an umbrella.I hated that I stood outside like an idiot, waiting and hoping he would come rushing toward me.I hated that some part of me believed he would choose me.As we moved further, the rain started again falling heavily.Strangely, I was grateful. It meant I could hide my crying, hide my sobs from Frank.Frank didn’t say anything. He just kept driving, watching me silently through the rearview mirror.After a while, he spoke casually.“The rain fell heavily. It soaked you badly. Dry up,” he said.I k

My heart was still racing as David joke settled between us. It hit me so hard, like something heavy just dropped in to my cheast, and refusing to move.For a moment I couldn't think, my mind went to Eve face, her smile and her Cold eyes." what if she knew" what if this wasn't a joke, I thought to myself.I didn't laugh at it right away, my throat seems to tight, like I couldn't get enough air, then I forced a smile, I kept my face Clam, I have learnt to act Calm but deep down I'm crashing inside.If David found out, everything will just change, I won't only loss my friend but I will also loss my place, my safety, the only person I have built my trust and eve around." ignore her" I said, even tho my voice didn't sound like mine, you know how people joke about this stuff because we are close.David chuckled, yeah she looks too much into things.Eve.Her name lingered in my thoughts like a bled.As we walked back to her ward, fear began to dwell in

“She’s at the hospital,” he said. “They said she is stable now, but I want you to come and check her again.”For a moment, I didn’t respond.I closed my eyes and drew in a slow, heavy breath, the kind that never really reaches your lungs. Of course he would call me. He always calls when things fall apart when something breaks, when something bleeds, when something can’t be fixed by anyone else.“I will come,” I finally said, my voice quieter than I expected. “I’ll come check her.”The line went dead soon after.I kept the phone pressed to my ear longer than necessary, staring at nothing, as if the silence on the other end might change its mind and take everything back. Slowly, I lowered it, my fingers tightening around it.I wished God, how I wished I could just turn it off. Pretend I didn’t hear him. Pretend none of this was happening. Pretend I wasn’t already being pulled back into something I had tried so hard to walk away from.But I knew myself better than that.Frank was watchin
