Chaeyoung PoV

The warm sun has touched my skin as we exit the car. Here I am, in Hawaii. 

When we first landed, all of us saw how Hawaii's beauty radiates and there doesn't seem to be any ghost town like what sunbae told us. 

The UN car picked us up from the airport and drove us a 2 hour ride outside of Honolulu. That's when it hit me, the place where UN brought us. 

It really is a ghost town. 

Kids were begging for food, people were so skinny, so many sick people. We were briefed by the Korean representative from the UN what this was. 

Apparently, these people were below the poverty line in the US and they were forced to move here because they don't want any 'scums' inside the States. How cruel can it be?

We were dropped off in a decent building that was only 2 stories high. 

"You're the leader of this medical mission, right?" the representative asked.

"Yeah, I am."

"Okay, so uhm, this is the hospital. It's not as big as Hye Jin but it's good enough to help the place. I know 1 month isn't enough to help us but it's enough for us to keep the project forward," he said. "Oh, and your dorms are over there."

He pointed at another white building that also has 2 stories. 

"So," he breathed. "Is it okay to leave you guys be, now? Your project can begin today or tomorrow. It all depends on you. You can check the place around, just call this number. He's assigned to be your group's driver."

He then gave me a piece of paper with a contact number. 

"You're free to go to Honolulu during the weekends. And..uh..we will notify you if there is something that came up," he brings his hand out. "Nice meeting you, Ms..?"

I brought out my hand for the handshake, "Park Chaeyoung."

"Nice meeting you, Ms. Park."

He went back to the car that picked us up and he left. 

I turned around to see the medical staff all wrapped up. They were all wearing Hawaiian shirts earlier and now they are covered in a jacket, sunglasses, masks and gloves. 

Except for Jihyo and Chanyeol, they were both laughing at the medical staff. 

"What are you guys doing?" I asked as I walked to them. 

"Doc, you should put on a mask before you get infected too," So-jun said. 

I walked past all of them and took off their hideous looks, "Let's go to our dorms."

They were walking slowly while me, Jihyo and Chanyeol were walking normally. Aish, these brats. We're here to save lives not to protect ourselves. 

The 3 of us who were ahead of the group decided to look at the dorms. In the first floor, there are 2 doors with 6 beds in each room. In the 2nd floor, there were also 2 doors but 1 room had 1 bed and the other had 2. 

15 rooms in total and there are 15 people in this medical mission. I sighed knowing that I don't know how to split the group for the rooms. Of course, girls and boys have to be divided but who gets to stay in rooms upstairs?

"Okay, so now that you guys have arrived.." Jihyo trailed off. "Chaeyoung, please do the honors of splitting the rooms?"

"Yeah, so uhm. In the first floor there is only 2 rooms but 6 beds in each room. While on top, 2 rooms, 1 has 1 bed and the other 2 beds," I said. 

Chanyeol cleared his throat, "There's also 1 bathroom per floor, so it's first come, first serve in the bathroom."

The staff complained. What are they, princesses? Of course not. We're not here to live in a hotel. 

"I call dibs in the room with 1 bed!" One of the nurses said.

And everyone started to argue for that bedroom.

"OI!" Chanyeol shouted. "Doctor Park will be working more than us while we're here. She's the only attending doctor and there are barely 4 residents. The room on top with 1 bed will be Chaeyoung's. No complains!" 

"Chan..seriously?" I whispered to him.

"Come on, I know you're gonna call Jungkook and you're gonna need privacy," he smirked. 

I growled at him, "Yah. Park Chanyeol!"

"Why, just accept that you're in love with Sir Jeon," he laughed. 

"Seriously, would you stop cornering the girl? She doesn't need love!" Jihyo told Chanyeol. 

"Whatever you say, idiots," Chanyeol laughed. 

Jihyo turned back to the crowd and said, "There are only 6 men in this mission so it's decided that 6 of you will stay in 1 room. For the remaining 8 girls, excluding Doctor Park, will have to play the game Chanyeol proposed. He colored the edge of the sticks he's holding, there are 2 that is red which means you get to stay in the room on top, and 6 yellows which means you stay in the 1st floor."

"Wait!" I said. "I think Jihyo-eonnie deserves a bed on top, she's the head nurse for this mission."

"Who seconds the motion?" Chan asked. 

Everyone agreed so Chan took one of the red edged stick from his hand. 

Jihyo went to me and whispered, "Thanks for saving me from the dorms."

I laughed, "No problem."

Then the girls lined up and began getting a stick. It turned out that Yeri will be Jihyo's roommate. And as much as everyone else is bummed that they won't be staying in a nice room, we won't be staying here really long anyway.

"Okay, 30 minutes to freshen up, clean your room, settle down and we will fix the hospital building!" I said.

So-jun and Chanyeol helped me, Jihyo and Yeri bring our bags up the stairs. Then Chanyeol gave us the keys to our rooms and quickly went down to fix his place too. 

"Eonnie, which side will you take?" Yeri asked Jihyo.

"Oh, you decide first," Jihyo said.

"No, no. I'll take whatever spot is left so you decide first."

They both were arguing who will decide first. I guess that scene reminded me of Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo and me when we were deciding who will get the biggest room in the beach house we went to years ago. 

I entered my room. It's not too big, it's not too small. There's a closet, a bed, a small table with 2 chairs, a desk and a chair, lights, nightstand. I found it comfortable, actually. 

On one corner, I placed my luggage down and opened it. Jennie told me that there might be no wifi here so she gave me a pocket wifi so I can call, Lisa gave me mosquito net and Jisoo gave me sunblock. 

There's only 3 pairs of shoes I brought, I was told that I might be called to UN for meetings regarding this mission so I thought of bringing formal clothes too. Heels, black shoes and white shoes. 

After I fixed everything in my room, I got my phone and checked any messages. Jungkook has been messaging me photos of what he and Jiyoon has been doing. 

He took a picture of Jiyoon sleeping with him and told me she was scared of the big room he gave her to stay in. There was also a video of Jiyoon in her piano lessons and Jungkook took a video of her playing the 'Can't Help Falling In Love' on the piano. 

I replied to him, "I'm in Hawaii already. Both of you look great."

It's probably night in their time so I don't think he'll message.

Then I went out of my room, and there's this balcony outside. I saw all the medical staffs gathered in front of the place, they were looking through 2 big containers. Like the truck containers. 

When I reached to them, I asked Annie, one of the nurses that came, what was going on. Apparently, the UN dropped off our medical supplies and they were still intending to make medical cube in one of the big spaces. 

"Okay, let's get started. We'll start with our own supplies and later continue with the UN's. Let's finish prepping the hospital for tomorrow!" I commanded. 

Then everyone began working. 

The keys of the hospital was given to me earlier by the representative. So I walked to the big building and opened it. 

It's empty. There's really a sign that this building was built for the restart of the medical mission because near the ghost town, there were a bunch of hospitals but all were torn down or too full to accommodate any other patients. 

I looked around, so I can open all the doors. There are medical tools but the ones that needs electricity weren't plugged and functional. I guess we have to figure out how to start this. 

As I walked up to the 2nd floor, there were wards, quarantines, a surgery room, CT scan room and the rest were wards. There were beds inside the wards, 10 per room, I counted. 

It's not dusty in here, although it could use some cleaning. 

When I walked downstairs, I decided to check if there is anymore rooms at the back. There was a kitchen and a storage room. I didn't see any pharmacy which is really important nor did I see any reception place. 

This is kind of poorly built but how can I blame? We're only 15 and that would be too much load. 

"Yow, Chaeng," Chanyeol called.

He was carrying a big box with So-jun beside him. 

"Did you see the place?" So-jun asked. 

I nodded, "Yeah. There are like 4 wards with 10 beds each, 2 surgery rooms in 1st floor and 1 on top, CT scan room, quarantines, storage and kitchen."

"No pharmacy? Reception?" Chan asked. 

"None. That's alright, we'll think of something to fix that. But we can only accommodate 40 people, which is not enough," I said. 

"There are foldable beds, we can use that if there are extra patients," So-jun suggested. 

Chanyeol looked at him, "Oh, yeah. UN gave us those. We can arrange the beds with curtains as dividers in the OPD and use the lobby as the OPD. So then the nurses can be here if there are sick people."

"Nice idea, alright. The OPD is in the far end by that hallway," I pointed. "Ask 2 people to carry the foldable beds there. And the machines aren't functioning yet so we need someone to fix them.." I told them. 

"Mark used to be an engineer, he can fix it," Chanyeol told me. 

"Okay, now I need the pharmacists to head to the storage room and fix the medicine. There's no pharmacy, we can put the medicine there and just get it when we need it," I suggested.

"Jihyo will do that, the rest will do the general cleaning," So-jun said. 

Everyone started working inside the hospital. It's morning still, and we agreed to finish by 5 or 6 in the evening. 

By the end of the day, the hospital's first floor was fixed. We had a hard time cleaning the machines because they were dusty and we spent time arranging the OPD as another ward. 

The nurse station became a part reception table and the lobby turned to an OPD. 

We started to eat dinner, there was no table in the kitchen so we got one of the foldable plastic tables and placed it outside and asked UN to provide us plastic chairs. 

I finished early because I only ate little. So I walked back to the dorms and decided to take a bath  so tomorrow I won't have to fight for the bathroom. For sure the people downstairs will go to the bathroom upstairs to take a bath. 

As I entered my room, I combed my hair and used my toner on my face. 

Then I sat on my bed, not knowing what I should do for the rest of the night. 

"Should I call?" I asked myself while looking at my phone. "Aish, Chaeyoung, he's probably busy."

I thought of asking So-jun to go with me to Honolulu tomorrow so we can do grocery shopping for the kitchen and of course, our feeding program. 

Then out of the blue, like he knew that I wanted to call, my phone rang with his request to face time me. 

"Yeobuseo? Chaeyoung?" he called. 

"Yeah? Why'd you call?" I asked.

He smiled, "Nothing, I read your message just now and thought you might be with your phone."

"But it's probably early morning in your place right now."

"That's the point," he said and turned the camera in the other direction, revealing Jiyoon hugging him. "She went to my room last night saying she wanted a bedtime story."

I giggled, "And what kind of story did you tell her?"

"Just...about a doctor and a CEO."

Jungkook laughed and I knew he was joking me, he read Jiyoon a story using one of the bedtime story books I left. 

Then it him me when he was starting to talk about his upcoming schedules in America and Europe. All he said was that he didn't want to travel because it kind of is a drag for him but then he wants to see places. 

He 'itches' to see places. Which made me realize that his heart is also a wanderlust like me. I, of course, want to see the world but finance issues, right?

Back to it though, I realized something. 

It made me question a lot of things. 

What were we? 

Are we more than friends? 

Does he know how much I miss him?

What are we, Jungkook?
