Place of birth and death at the same time
If it were you, where would you think of first?
Many stories Happened here…
hospital
And what kind of stories are they mostly? . . ?
Tonight is my first night.
Yes, I am a doctor. who were transferred to the First State Hospital
Normal during the day People will be busy. But when night fell, it was quiet, giving the feeling like something out of a ghost movie.
"excuse me…"
A small, high-pitched but cool voice sounded from behind me. And when I turned to look I saw the owner of that voice.
“Uh… relatives of the patient who came to stay and watch over you?”
The girl with straight, raven hair nodded in response, so I continued asking.
“Is there anything the doctor can help with?”
The girl who initially stared between her breasts raised her head to look at me. The calm expression gradually disappeared. Smiling like a friendly person
“Please help me get out of the way.”
I was quiet for a long moment. Then he gave way as requested.
Then she walked away Leaving me standing there blankly
Awesome!
The sound of something falling made me flinch and turn to look. I saw that the area where I was standing was a document storage room. And the thing that fell must have been something in there.
I sighed and continued walking. He thought to himself,
The path that we walked on was not too narrow for people to be unable to pass each other. So why did she choose to greet me and then tell me to stay away?
“Hey! So how did you get here? Even though the patient's dormitory is in another building."
Then my time to finish work arrived..
“Doctor Ton, how was your first day?”
Yes...that's my name. My first name.
I smiled at the nurse, "I'm fine. Last night was fine."
I saw her nod and let out a sigh of relief. Although surprised by the attitude But I chose not to find an answer.
after packing Before leaving the conversation I didn't forget to turn to the nurse and say,
“I would like to tell the nurse on late duty, please. Please take a look at the relatives who came to take care of the sick person. Last night, I don't know how I walked to the part where the documents were stored.”
A conversation that should continue when I'm finished. After I smiled and nodded What I saw was everyone's expressions of shock. And everyone is quiet. But above all else, My moment of hell happened. When the person I'm talking about She stood at the corner of the turn in the corridor.
She smiled at me…as if to say hello.
But I chose...to pretend not to see.
Today is another day that I work the night shift. This time I came to stay in the inpatient building. Tonight there will be only three doctors on duty.
“Doctor, Doctor Ton.”
I turned towards the voice calling. So I saw two nurses at the counter who leaned forward to call out to me. Ready to beckon you to come find him.
"yes"
“Where are you going, doctor?”
"Oh...I have room three, four, five to check."
“It looks like Dr. Jane has already come to check on me.”
I was silent for a moment, then nodded.
“If the doctor doesn't mind Can you come talk to us first?”
The first thing in the speech that made me feel shocked was, The speech is not an ordinary invitation. But it was more like a request.
"yes"
after answering I walked in to find him. Leaning against the outside of the counter One of the nurses wearing a black long-sleeved shirt turned to look at his wristwatch. We will turn to another nurse who is not wearing one. The figure is quite chubby. Then he turned to look at me. The expressions on the two people's faces looked very serious.
“Last night. Did you hear that the doctor met the patient's relatives?”
I thought about it shortly and nodded. Both of them were taken aback and stood straight and asked me again.
“Doctor…have you talked to her?”
I smiled, nodded and asked back, “When I told you, I didn't say whether it was a man or a woman. Why is it called you?”
The nurse in the black long-sleeved shirt pursed her lips and her expression became even more tense. before writing something on a piece of paper and handing it to me which the words on the paper are written with in mind
I looked at the paper and was about to speak. That same rhythm The nurse who wrote these words to me made a kissing gesture. It's a signal to be quiet.
“There are rules here.”
“Rules that are not written rules. It is a rule that is known among the people working here.”
I tilted my head, my eyes trying to tell me to explain further. The nurse in the black long-sleeved shirt gave me what I asked for.
“As long as it's nighttime. If you see a woman...wearing dreads that go down to her knees. The red color is so dull that it is seen as dark brown. If you see her walking along the path, you should stop and let her pass first.”
“If we accidentally make eye contact Then she smiled You should smile back.”
“In the last point No matter what kind of speech Or is it just a greeting? You shouldn't talk to her no matter what.”
I listened, frowning when a question arose.
“Why do you have to avoid it? What would happen if she were a thief? So why do you have to smile? And if I talk to you, what will happen?”
The two young nurses had shocked expressions on their faces. It was as if they had turned to look at each other in order to ask with their eyes if they should explain or not, but in the end, the chubby nurse agreed to speak.
“Who would walk around at a time like that, doctor?”
“Lost people….stealers…”
“Here, even thieves don't dare come in. Because of you…that's the person we're talking about.”
I looked at the two girls who seemed to be starting to get more and more scared. and seemed to lose consciousness When I said,
"Do you guys think she's a ghost?"
Several days later
I still have to work at the same place. Moreover, the doctors and nurses started looking at me strangely.
“Doctor Ton”
I turned to look in the direction of the voice. It was P'Ek, the doctor I was closest to after moving here.
"I'd like to talk to you about something."
I looked at his face. before nodding in acceptance When that happens He sat down on the opposite side.
“Have you…seen…the girl in red?”
I was speechless when I first heard it. I thought about answering that. Do you mean the red-dressed auntie who came to see me this morning? But when I saw the tense expression on the other side Those words immediately swallowed down his throat along with the rice.
“You mean…that most people are afraid of?”
P'Ek nodded. So I muttered, “O…Ranjan.”
That's all, P'Ek was startled, made a kissing gesture, looked left and right. And don't forget to turn around and look behind you like an extremely paranoid person.
“Even though it's daytime, You shouldn't say her name.”
“Are you afraid?”
P'Ek didn't answer, but his expression clearly said yes.
“How many times have you seen this?”
When asked, he began to think, "It didn't count."
“It means many times.”
“I see it every day.”
“What?!”
I put the spoon on the plate I had just finished eating. Lift the water up and drink it.
“She doesn't see what I'm doing. Just like in the story.”
“Do you know?”
“Stories are always in conversation. And you think I won't know?”
“Ton…” P'Aek nodded in understanding. Raise your hand and put it on my shoulder. “Let's make the move.”
“Brother Aek, if I make a move This will be the third time.”
P'Ek's face tensed up, "Whether it's three, four or five, you should move until you can't find this woman."
"You talk like you follow me everywhere."
P'Aek is quiet. speak softly “You only saw her in the hospital, right?”
I nod.
“But other people didn't just see her following you to the hospital.”
I frowned even more than before. “What do you mean?”
P'Ek turned to look to the left. and right again Speak softly than before.
“Go ask your mother.”
My hospital life is still going on.
It's definitely the right move. I didn't want to do it, so I didn't care. Until late one day There are patients who have been referred until they reach me...
“Before, the fever went down, blood pressure normalized, pulse normal. After half an hour The nurse came in and saw that the patient was bleeding from both ears. It was fresh blood that kept flowing out. And now I'm having a seizure, Master."
I listened to the report while running from floor to floor because none of the elevators were free. And just like that, another one ended up stuck on the fifteenth floor. This building is well known for its top floor being used for storing things. and is a passing point on the way to the rooftop
“Right now only I have free time?”
“Yes, the other doctor professors all seem to have cases. The teacher is free."
I didn't speak any more and hurriedly ran to the next room. When I got to the front of the room, there was a relative who was crying like she was about to die. Before there were nurses rushing in and out causing chaos.
Seeing this, I ran into the room. It was at this moment that a young nurse was running in the opposite direction. We collided with each other, but luckily no one fell. It didn't take long to hesitate. She and I pulled away from each other. And I rushed to the hospital bed where the convulsions seemed to have stopped.
I'm not sure what I said. But just a few words that I should remember well There are no memories left. Since it was replaced with an image…
“I just found it…”
A hoarse voice whispered softly. But it resounded clearly in my ears…
And at that moment I realized that it was true.
Ranjan is not her name…
But it is the name of the person who killed her and who she is about to kill.
