So it’s our guy. Shit escalated real quick. I wasn’t expecting this to happen so fast. I thought it would take some time, but nooo, someone was just a curious ASS who dug him out! Dammit! Now I even must treat him now *cries in salty tears* why the hell me! Couldn’t I be a bit more unpunctual and be late for work just this one time in my life? While I was sobbing and thinking of what to do, I heard someone calling me again:

-Tanaka-sensei this way, your patient is in 1307 ward!

-Thanks, Ichika-san, I will head in now.

Look at the numbers, 13 and 07. It’s like some sort of sign that just tells me like “~this guy is both lucky and unlucky at the same time~”. He was hit with a car, buried alive *though we thought he was dead because I checked the pulse, but then again I was drunk so, maybe I am not even a proper doctor* and yet he was found alive and now is in hospital. At times like this, I even doubt my luck… If I had this much luck I would be much more successful in both career and personal life aspects.

As for my personal life, I always had an unpleasant experience. Most of the time, I was heartbroken because my love was unrequited. I remember this guy from college I had a crush on. I first met him in my freshman year and fell in love immediately. But I was too shy to approach him or to make a move. As you already know, I’m unlucky, so I thought that I don’t stand a chance to be with a guy like him.

My friends, though, specifically Niko-kun was always supportive of me. She never failed in trusting me and staying on my side, no matter what. She was the one who introduced me to Haru-san, the handsome, tall, attractive and optimistic guy who always wore a bright smile on his face.

In a really short time, we became close friends together. It was so much fun hanging out with Haru-san! Seeing him happy always gave me the strength to survive this world. We hang out together, had sleepovers, even went on a trip together just two of us, but I was too naïve and too much in love, and on the day of graduation I confessed, which didn’t turn out that well… He was shocked and he wasn’t expecting me to confess to him and he told me that he was into women. I was upset, so much upset, that after graduation I just blocked him and cut ties with all my college friends except for Niko-kun.

When I say I’m unlucky, it’s partially true and partially wrong, because I’m partially unlucky and partially dumbass. A dumbass that cut out Haru-san a handsome dude with a sweet personality, most importantly my close friend - out of my life because I was upset after the rejection. I really wish I could meet him again and apologize for what I did. To turn pages back to where we were before. To start all from the beginning again…

I know I ask too much but gods, please… You failed to help my friend not to be paranoid, but at least help me to meet Haru-san again. I just want to see his smile again even if it is for the last time… I just want to apologize to him.

After going through my sad past for a while, I finally plucked up my courage and entered the room! Took a step in and!... stepped on a wet floor that was just moped, which sent me flying through the ward and falling on the patient that I’m supposed to treat~ What a joy! I hurt the guy that was already hurt hehe… I’m a terrible person and the worst doctor in this hospital.

After apologizing hundreds of times to a patient that is lying there unconsciously in a great pain that I have just caused, I realized that his heartbeat is a bit… off? Usually, the heartbeat of patients is about 60 to 80 beats per minute. This guy's heartbeat though was 15 beats per minute, but his breathing and brain activity was normal. This was a bit confusing, but I mean, what is not confusing in this story? Like seriously?! He literally raised from dead what I was expecting to happen?

I just roamed around him for a while, examining his wounds and I found a big bluish bruise on his left leg and belly. That’s where he was most likely hit yesterday with our car. I had to come up with a story about these bruises and I don’t know what to think about *CRIES IN PANIC*! Not only on his belly and leg, but he also had bruises on his face as well that I didn’t notice at first, under a thick layer of mud and his hair falling on his eyes. His face now was covered in bandages and an oxygen mask, that was hiding his handsome face that I didn’t observe thoroughly yesterday. I just hope it’s not that serious and he will gain consciousness soon…

That night, I had a lot to do. I decided to stay and complete all the work I had, that has piled up because the amount was overwhelmingly a lot. It was about 1 AM at night that I almost finished doing and so I thought I should call it a day. I tidied my table, organized documents, and closed my door. It was for sure a hectic day full of crazy and stressful events that just keeps bothering me a lot. What if that guy remembers us and when he wakes up, he recognizes me and Niko-kun? Or what if he dies and the police starts an investigation of a murder? Right now, the police is just investigating a drunk fighting case… All these thoughts keep bothering me and my brains.

Just when I thought I can call it a day and that it can’t get any worse, I heard weird noises coming out of a ward that was echoing in empty and dark hallways of the hospital. I’m not the type of guy who gets scared of stuff like this, but for sure it’s not the best thing to experience during the night when you are all alone on the third floor and the guards are pretty weak old farts who are on the first floor of the building.

I was trying not to give it a thought, and trying to imagine some nice things like hiking on mountain Fuji with friends on a warm spring day when the trees bloom, birds sing and it’s a soft wind that caresses your body while you are climbing the rocky trails. *PANTING SOUNDS INTENSIFIES* My day just keeps getting worse and worse. I checked on that sound. After all, maybe a patient needs something or is in pain… Ugh, sometimes I just hate my job.

I approached the ward, from which those sounds were coming from. And it was the ward that my patient was in. I opened the door and saw him crying and was swinging his arms, trying to do something. As you can see, I was a bit “worried” about this whole situation. So what I had to do is to calm him down first:

-Arai-san, let’s calm down first! I’m here. You are not alone anymore! Is there anything that keeps bothering you?

-*Keeps crying*

-Arai-san, just tell me what can I do for you. Are you in pain?

-…Aki – he whispered something.

-I can’t understand you, but I will inject you with a painkiller – sedative to help you fall asleep.

-…Aki, where are you?...
