"I opened the door and Mr. Yoon is no found at his r-" the mental hospital's nurse stopped when she saw someone coming out underneath the bed.

The hospital's president and that nurse who were reporting that Yoon Jeonghan is missing was surprised to see him under his bed!

"Oh! Mr. Yoon is here!" The nurse pointed him.

Jeonghan, a supposedly crazy man who is admitted here, crawled out and sat on his bed.

"Why are you saying that he is missing?! He's right here!" President went furious.

Nurse scratched her nape, confused as she looks at him. "That's weird. I'm really sure I checked every side."

And then,I came at the scene. "Ahmm excuse me," I butted.

"Oh right?! (Y/n) is my witness!" the nurse pointed me. "I told you that the key from room# 17 is missing right?!"

I took something from your pocket. "About that. Actually, I..." then show them the missing key. "I brought the key by mistake. I'm sorry."

"What?" The president outraged. "So I came here for nothing huh." He sighed, massaging his temple.

The nurse bowed at him, "I'm sorry for this. Next time I will check i-"

"You should have!" Then the President walked out along with his secretary.

Jeonghan and I looked at each other. He winked at me and smiled but looked away when the nurse turned her head to him.

"Hey (y/n), am I too sleepy last night? I was really sure he was not here," the nurse complained.

Pushing the cart of food, I answered, "Maybe you were just sleepy. Besides, it's my mistake. I brought the key so you shouldn't blame yourself." Then put the food tray on the table.

"You think so?" she stared at Jeonghan. "This crazy handsome guy. Just be thankful you're pretty."

Jeonghan met her gaze. He gave a curious smile, cheshire-cat like. At last he opened his mouth but instead of words, he set in motion a stream from his mind to her. He really looks a lunatic guy.

"But it's really pity that he is crazy. He is the most pretty guy I met," the nurse commented while looking at him. "Well, it's good that he's here. I thought I'll get fired." The she's about to go out, asking me, "Aren't you coming with me?"

As much as I want to, I declined, "Ahmm, I'll stay here a little bit longer."

"Eh? Why?" Ofcourse this sounds so weird.

"M-Mr. Y-Yoon. Ahmm, I noticed that Mr. Yoon can't eat his food these past few days. I still have minutes left before my other round. So, I'll make him eat first."

"Really? You know I am disappointed that you brought the key by mistake. But seeing how hardworking you are, I was amazed again."

I just bit my lower lip, and faked a smile.

"I'll go now." She went out then peeked by the small window. "Fighting!" She cheered before she walked away.

I checked if there are no one near at the door. Gladly, there's none.

"Your acting is one of a kind," I murmured, turning my eyes to him.

Jeonghan laid down on his bed. "Right? My acting is exceptional. I could win the Oscar award with this."

For four months, he didn't speak. So when I found out that he isn't insane, I was very surprised. Though, he isn't normal too.

"You look very nervous before," he said, tapping the free space on his bed. He wants me to sit down by his side.

I have no choice but to went closer and to sat beside him. I remembered saying he'll be my crush only if he's sane. Now, I took back my own words.

Glancing at his face, I'll accept that he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. But it won't change the fact that he might be a dangerous guy. A demon behind his angelic smile.

I am scared. This is the main reason why I accepted his offer: to help him find his mom and to hide his acts.

"I only have few minutes left," I said. "Tell me what should I do."

"Look straight into my eyes first," he whispered.

He noticed it. He noticed that I'm avoiding any eye contact with him.

I feel the soft panic that can grow or fade depending on what I do next. Therefore, I breathe, real slow. And let my thoughts leak as I met his gaze.

His eyes are beautiful, but I couldn't feel comfortable with his smirk.

"You're scared," he chuckled, tucking my hair behind my ear. With his simple touch, I felt the shiver down to my spine. "I'll be giving you a lot of money. So don't get nervous around your handsome boss. Okie?"

He said he'll give me money for helping him. Damn. I TREASURE MY LIFE MORE THAN YOUR FORTUNE! I wouldn't do this for money. You threatened me so I'm doing this!

"Your brows are frowning. Let me guess,  you cursing me inside your head? Right? Right? Eyyy." He sat up, pressed the center of my brows, then leaned his face closer. Why is he so clingy?!

I moved away, just enough for me to have a breathing. "I promised you that I'll help you find your mom. Let's not waste time, please?"

He laid down again, not breaking his stare. "The necklace you were wearing, I told you that it is my mom's necklace. You said, a lady who is locked at the underground of this hospital gave it to you."

He became serious when the topic is about his mom.

"It's true. I am the one who distributed foods at the underground part of this mental hospital. One of the patient gave the necklace to me. We can't talk to any patients so I couldn't ask why she did," I reported.

"But there is no underground when I checked the blueprint of this hospital."

He checked the blueprint of this building? That means, he has a power to do so.

"That underground place is a secret hideout of this hospital," he added.

Now I get it. When they asked me to deliver foods at the underground, they are strict to the rules: #1, you can't talk to the patient. #2, you won't tell to anyone about the underground place of this hospital. And #3, you musn't bring your cellphone or any recorder inside.

It seems that this hospital is doing a hideous act. I'm getting more scared.

"You couldn't bring a camera inside, right?" He asked.

So I stuttered, "Y-Yeah. Before I can enter that place, they solicit my cellphone and searched my body."

"Then you should do this." He sat up, staring intently. "Memorize the structure of that underground place. Know how many steps do I need and where should I turn to get to that lady's locked room. Count the guards guarding it, and know if they are holding weapons like guns."

So he is asking me to observe that place. Observing is easy since I won't violate any rules.

"And last," he said. There's more?! "To check if that lady is my mom, you should tell her my name. Tell her the word 'Yoon Jeonghan'. If she reacts, then she is indeed my mom."

#1 rule: Don't talk to any patient. Now, I'm doomed.

I walked out from Jeonghan's room and locked the door. As I'm going at that underground place, all the reasons not to do this come flooding in, as if my body chemistry just sent them a blanket invitation. My hands are trembling, and cold sweats running down  from my face.

"I will deliver foods to the patient," I said to the guard standing at the underground entrance.

"Give me your phone," he laid his hand so I gave my phone to him. Then he started searching my body to find things like recorder, weapons or documents. He couldn't find one and let me in.

Okay. So let's  start memorizing the way on that lady's  room.

I made 40 steps forward as soon as I entered this place. There is one guard at the entrance and two more 50 meters away. I turned right and made another 50 steps. 20 meters away, there is two more guards. When I passed them, I saw guns beside their waist.

This is not a prison.

Why are they holding guns as if the patients  are dangerous people?

I worked here for years but now is the only time I noticed and realised this.

After 20 more steps, I turned left. Three guards are staying near at the lady's room that is placed on the last door, right side. I pushed my cart on the way to her room.

"Hey you!" A guard accosted me.

I gulped before looking back at him. "W-Why?"

"Are you delivering foods for the patient?" He asked.

"Y-Yes sir."

"Then why didn't you give foods to the patients from the entrance?"

"Well, I am t-thinking of giving foods from the last room to the first," I made an excuse.

"Really? Okay," he nodded.

I bowed at him before I entered the lady's room that seems to be Jeonghan's mother.

As I push my cart, I saw the four concrete walls, a linoleum floor, a toilet with no paper, and a bare mattress. Rooms here are different from the rooms above the hospital. There are no windows, but only a ventilation  fan. You can describe the word "loneliness" by just looking at this room.

The lady who gave me the necklace is sitting above her bed. She hugs her knees, leaning her head on the top of it.

I put the plate of food at the table near her bed. And the sound of the plate hitting the table caught her attention. She lifted her head and stated at me. "It's your turn now pretty lady?" She greeted me.

According to the rules, we can't talk to the patients. But that doesn't me they couldn't talk to us. So whenever a patient speak to any staff, a guard will look out on us, just like how there's a guard standing in front of the door.

How can I tell her about his name if I am being guarded?

I looked at tha lady's face. She is smiling. Somehow, her smile reminded me of him. She also looks like Jeonghan.

Suddenly, her smile faded away. "Miss, where is the necklace?"

"What necklace is she talking about?!" The guard asked me.

"I d-don't know!" I lied.

The lady went closer, asking, "did someone took it from you?! Who is it? Tell me!" she pulled my collar closer to her that I almost stumble.

This is my chance.

"Yoon Jeonghan," I whispered before the guard went it and pulled me away from her.

The lady's eyes widened, then tears fell down from her eyes.

"What's happening here?" The guard questioned me.

"I didn't do anything. Anyway, I put the food on her table. I'll go now,"I made an excuse then pushed the cart out of her room.

When a patient here went wild, they called staffs to inject something to make them calm. That's the reason why you won't hear a scream from any patients since they got scared. However...

"Let me out! Let me out! I'm not insane! Please let me out! I need to see my son! I need to go! Please! I'm begging you!" The lady went furious and tried to escape.

She is crying as the guard holding her two arms.

"A patient is throwing a pit!"  The guard shouted then a bunch of nurses went it.

"No! Don't! Let me out! I'm not crazy!" The lady keeps shouting.

One nurse held her arm, another prepared the needles. Before I could see them inject the drug on her wrist, the door closed.

How could I... tell this to him?

How could I tell that his mom received this kind of treatment?

What would he feel if I tell him that when his mom's shout, a guard will pinned him down and  nurses will inject a drug by force?

As I imagine how he would feel, tears just fell down on my eyes.

I don't have a mother. Yes I don't. But if ever I'm in his position, I can't definitely watch this.

After I made my round here, I went back at the main mental hospital building. Work hours is almost over. I only need one more round to some patients including Jeonghan. He is my last destination.

I gathered my strenght while standing in front of his door. A minute passed, I unlocked his room and went it with my cart. He is sitting on his bed, as if he was waiting for me. Then he met my gaze. "There's no one around. You can speak," I reported.

He smiled, "So how is it?"

"I memorized the way. I'll draw it and give it to you. By the way, there are total of six guards in that place. They have guns," I continued.

Jeonghan nodded and wait for me to say another thing.

I know what he wants to hear. To know if the lady in there is really his mom. But I guess I shouldn't tell him what I've witnessed before.

"About the lady," I hesitated for a moment. "About her, hmmm. Actually, when I told her about your name, she reacted. I think, she is really your mom."

After hearing what I've said, he contorted his lips into an awkward, toothy smile, his but his cheeks were not so compromising. "So they really hide my mom inside that place," he said, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. "That's why I couldn't find her. What the hell."

I watched him cried, with no tears. I could tell it just by looking at his reaction. The way he breathed in and out and how he bit his lower lip. At first I was scared, but now I am curious about him, and his life. What is his story? Why he got separated from his mom? Who hid her? Who are you, Mr. Yoon?

"You can go now," he said, turning his head on the other side.

"Then, I'll put your food on your table before I'll go," I said then put his food. He didn't reply.

But I can see how his shoulder moves up and down. So finally, he let those tears out.

I stepped away, to give him space, to escape from his lonely world. But before I could...

"When you go out from this hospital, you'll see a man waiting for you. Go with him. I told you I'll pay you for this. So get your money from him. And he'll treat you for a dinner," he said without looking back.

What is he saying?

I'm about to ask him but I saw a nurse passing by.

"Hey (y/n), are you going home now?" The nurse peeked at us. So Jeonghan laid down.

"I'm g-going!" I stuttered then went out.

Someone will give me money and treat me for a dinner? Who?

I packed my things and ready myself to go home. Just like what he had said, I saw a man standing beside a car in the hospital's parking lot. From afar, he is looking at me, and even bowed.

I walked closer, to see his face cause it's quite dark.

"Hello miss (y/n)," he greeted with his bari-tone voice. This kind of voice is my weakness.

When I am close enough, I finally saw his face. HE IS SO... HANDSOME. His eyes reminded me of a fox's, his noise is sharp but the size is just perfect. His face is so small, maybe smaller than mine. He has an emo look, but it makes him looks cool and sexy. If Jeonghan is an angel, then this man is a prince.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Wonwoo. I am Mr. Yoon's secretary. I'm here to take you on a date."

Date.

He said date.

Wait. Huh?!

"What did you say?!"
