Ch-9 Unexpected meeting

Ch-9 Unexpected meeting

Aug 12, 2026

Vivi was sprinting towards the elevator, last time she checked the time it was 12PM at noon, but now it was almost 2PM. She had no time to pick up Pepper from the animal shelter. Vivi clicked the heels of her shoes on the metallic floor of the elevator, desperately waiting for it to reach ground floor. The elevator stopped at ground floor with a ding sound, Vivi dashed towards the shelter dramatically, slipping on every curb.
'CAN YOU KEEP PEPPER TILL EVENING PLEASE!' Vivi said, breathless.
The two ladies and perhaps the animals all were startled by her entrance and sudden interruption. 
'Y-yes, we can, no worries it's our job' one lady out of the two spoke, forcing a smile.
'Oh, I am sorry to scare you all, I am kind of in a hurry-' Vivi said, catching her breath.
She turned around and caught her pace again, not waiting for the lady complete her sentence, her words trailing off in the end. Vivi got out of the building, a taxi happened to pass by then. She waved her hand for it to stop, the driver pulled up, stopping in front of her.
'Maple hospital' 
The driver nodded. Vivi took out her phone to check the time, it was 2:30PM, the time was escaping from her. She sat in the car, impatiently looking around for every turn it took. Her heart felt relief when the taxi finally came to a stop in front of her hospital. She got off the car, paying the driver in a hustle. 
As she entered, Mrs.Kim was already there standing,
'So what took you so long?' She asked, her arms folded.
'I am sorry, It took long because of the introduction with the boys.' Vivi said, her eyes not able to meet with Mrs.Kim's.
'Gosh you are always full of excuses, I want you on time, this is a hospital not a club.' Her eyes staring intently on Vivi as she spoke.
'I'm sorry...' was all Vivi could say, her words almost inaudible.
Vivi went ahead, her head laying low. She picked up her file kept on the reception table, and started towards patient's ward.

Half day went by, the sun was almost down. Vivi, stood near the coffee dispenser, her hair tied into a messy knot. 
She just took a sip from her mug, when she noticed a woman, all dressed up. She squinted her eyes a clearer look, "It's Jiwoo!!" she whispered to herself, her eyes widened with surprise.
Vivi walked towards Jiwoo, who was now making an entry at the reception.
'Hey! Jiwoo?' Vivi asked, tapping the lady on shoulder.
Jiwoo turned around, ' Oh! I did not expect you here!' she said, a wide smile formed on her face.
'Yeahh, I told you right, nursing...and stuffs' 
'Yes, I was here just for a registration'
'What's wrong are you okay?' Vivi said, inspecting her.
'No no, it's actually this patient, in Room number 27, he happens to be my uncle.'
'Oh! I see, it's alright. Let me take you to him' Vivi said, beckoning her towards the corridor.
'Heyy, it's alright you do not need to worryy.' Jiwoo said, giving Vivi a quick tap on her shoulder.
The receptionist handed Jiwoo a slip with her registration number, 'Well then, see you later Violette' Jiwoo said, as she left.
Vivi waited for Jiwoo until she came out of the room. Her shift was over so she was now free to go, she took this chance to talk to her. She was too excited to wait for Jiwoo outside the hospital, so she kept wandering around the room she had just gone inside.
The door opened and Jiwoo came out, her black hair tied in losely covered her face. She looked up to see Vivi standing, waiting for her, 'Oh, you are here already.' Jiwoo said, her voice sounding bit squeaky.
It was the first time Jiwoo sounded off gaurd to Vivi, but she brushed it aside.
'I did not expect to run into you, small world they say' Vivi said. 'Sup, how have you been?'
'Ha ha, I should be the one asking you that, are you fitting well?'
'Well..er... yes it is kind of hard not gonna lie, but it's nice to catch up with you like this' 
'Well, it's not much difficult, you're like working in a very famous hospital you know' Jiwoo said, her eyebrows raised as her eyes widened.
'Ha-ha, well sort of, yeah. Because I have already been assigned to celebrity-' Vivi was cut mid- sentence by Jiwoo: Woah Woah, what celebrity? A kpop star? Who is it?
All of a sudden Jiwoo who seemed sort of uninterested, was suddenly keen, Vivi thought she might be feigning but her eyebrows could not go any  higher than they were.
'Oh! Tell me all about it Violette, I am so excited!' Jiwoo said, clasping her hands with a rare excitement.
'Well, y-yeah, I'll tell but I need to get Pepper, my cat back from the animal daycare.' 
'That's no big deal, let's walk by talking' Jiwoo insisted. Vivi agreed.
