Upside Down

First day pt2

First day pt2

Jul 10, 2026

"All right, I'll do this." Vivi thought in her mind this time, as she was surrounded by people. The people around her were already side-eyeing her, passing judgemental looks. Vivi did not have time and energy to worry about people around her, she went closer to the basin, washed her face, made eye contact with herself in the mirror. She gave her mirror self an affirmative look before tying her hair into a loose bun.
Vivi exited the washroom, looking like she never spent fifteen minutes crashing out. She saw the nurse in charge heading towards her, with the same disgusted face.
'I have been looking everywhere for you, where the hell were you! I allow no leniency over here!' her voice loud enough to be heard by everyone around.
Vivi who had already prepared herself for this replied calmly, 'I apologise for not having to inform you Mrs.Kim, I just went to the loo'
Mrs.Kim gave her a suggestive look.
'Well, go on, don't keep standing. Today you have to work here and from tomorrow you are allowed to go at star company' she turned away to go and stopped mid-way to speak again 'Also, do not think you are special just because you get to work with celebrities on your very first or shall I say second day' then she finally left.
Vivi just stood there and rolled her eyes when the nurse in charge was out of site. 
"Wait a second," she thought while searching the doctor, in hopes they will guide her on what she should be doing. "What did she mean by celebrities? Those guys were celebrities? Probably that's why they all looked so high maintenance and well handsome..." 
Vivi finally saw the doctor, guessing by her white coat, standing with a file report in her hands, she was flipping through the pages. 
Vivi went up to her and asked, 'Um, good afternoon ma'am, I am Violette Hart, it's my first day here.'
'Oh...great! so you were the new staff who was supposed to come here. I am presuming you already met Mrs.Kim our nurse in charge? Hope you had no difficulty finding her.' the doctor said with a gentle expression.
Vivi might have just had a gist of what the doctor meant by no difficulty finding her, she too presumed Mrs.Kim to be the nurse in charge by her demeanor.
'Er, yes...I already met her and she informed me about being personal healthcare assitant to star company.' though Mrs.Kim had not exactly informed her, she basically sort of sold her to them and made a deal with their manager.
'Well it's okay, don't take Mrs.Kim's words to heart, she is not a bad person, she is just a bit strict with the rules.' the doctor said Vivi, handing her the file she was flipping pages of. 'Take this file, it has all the rooms and patients' biodata you will be needing and if you ever find yourself stuck, you have other nurses to help you.' 
The doctor left, her coat fluttering in air behind her as she sprinted, leaving Vivi behind with the file in her hands.
"So let's see what we got in here" she thought "First patient, Park Seojun, age 42, room number 202," Vivi walked around searching for room number 202, looking at every room's name-plate. As she was moving around looking sideways, she bumped into someone, she suddenly closed her eyes and bowed her head, 'I'm very very sorry!' she looked up to see it was Mrs.Kim, yet again.
'Oh my god! You are so lousy, how will you ever handle things, this is the second time you have dashed into me. Next time again and you are out for good.' Mrs.Kim said throwing up her hands dramatically.
She eyed the report in Vivi's hands and said, 'So, you have already met the doctor, I see.' 
Vivi almost opened her mouth to omit the words but, the nurse interrupted her again saying, 'Well, come with me, I have to teach you how to deal with patients. Can't let you wander alone making a fool out of yourself.'
Though she still gave Vivi a derisive look but maybe "she was not that bad after all" Vivi thought.
Vivi spent her whole day attending about twenty patients, Mrs.Kim was going on and on about how to do things the right way. Maybe if Mrs.Kim was Jiwoo or someone like her, she would have shown more interest in hearing her out, but no, she was naive to think everybody she'd meet would be as sweet as Jiwoo. 
Soon it was sunset, Vivi's shift was over. She packed her tote bag and was ready to leave, she had had a long day. Vivi walked groggily out of the exit of hospital's building. She was too tired to even walk till the bus stop, she sat on the bench at the bus stop. The roads which were wet from the rain had dried up, cool breeze swished through Vivi's hair. The bus arrived soon after and Vivi boarded the bus.
