Shuhua waves at Hui and Sana as she and Nayeon leave the cafeteria and walked through the silent halls, the guards greeted them when they went past them.

"Ok Shuhua, Room 073 is Hyunjin's little sister, she is also bipolar, but tends to be more childish."

Shuhua nods and entered the vault.

"Hi! Hi! Hi!"

The patient smiled brightly causing Shuhua to blush and silently scream at how cute the girl is.

"Hey! My name is Yeh Shuhua."

"Hwang Yeji! Let's play! I have puzzles, Jenga, blocks, chess, and a ball!"

Shuhua enters the room and soon was engulfed in a tight hug.

"Oh crap, you are taller than me..."

Shuhua muttered as Yeji laughed.

"C'mon, let's solve!"

They sat down as they played with the puzzle pieces, Yeji cracked some lame old dad jokes but Shuhua laughed at it as she never heard one of those since her father is abusive and never paid attention to her.

"I killed over 18 doctors..."

Yeji suddenly said as her mood went down, a visible frown on her lips was seen as Shuhua pouted and hugged the girl.

"Don't worry about that Yeji..."

"Yeah! Anyways! What's this?"

Yeji grabbed Shuhua's wrist tightly and rolled her sleeves down seeing the bruises.

Yeji's eyes darkened.

"Seems like people mistook you as a punching bag hm?"

Yeji's voice went serious as Shuhua pulled her arm back and chuckled nervously.

"Don't worry about it Yeji..."

Yeji nods as she yawned.

"I'm tired..."

"C'mon I'll tuck you to sleep."

Yeji went under the covers as Shuhua tucks her to sleep.

"Night shu..."

Yeji mumbled and doze off.

Shuhua exits the vault seeing Nayeon talking to the phone.

"Unnie, did you wait long?"

"Oh, I didn't, I'm just talking to my wife."

Nayeon ends the call after bidding goodbye to her lover before they left the hallways.

"I heard loud laughs there, did she tickle you? Or what?"

"Dad jokes."

Nayeon scrunched her nose and laughed softly.

"Here we are Room 410, good luck Shu."

"No warnings?"

"Uh..."

Nayeon looks away.

She pushed Shuhua inside.

Shuhua shook her head and looked at the room to see The patient looking at her as if she was a new specie.

"H-Hi... My name is--"

"Yeh Shuhua, I know, Minnie Unnie couldn't stop talking about you."

"Eh?"

"Nothing doc, now..."

The girl stands up.

"What's so interesting about you?"

The girl asked as she gave Shuhua a small smile.

"Are you different from our other past doctors? Are you abusive? More abusive? Scary? Weak? Absent-minded? Arrogant? Big mouthed? Cruel?"

Every question the girl asked she stepped toward the doctor one by one.

"A Maniac?"

"No..."

"Then... What is it?"

"I..."

"Are you working just for money?"

"Well, I do need it..."

Shuhua mumbled as she scratched her arm, the sleeve riding up.

The girl averted her eyes on her arm.

"Bruises?"

"What?"

"You have been beaten up?"

"N-No."

Shuhua gulped and looked at the time.

"It was nice meeting you... I'll go now."

"You still have 10 minutes. Stay."

Shuhua gulped as the girl was now in front of her, the glass separating them.

"Be careful now doc... The next patient is more violent... So violent that she has to be chained... I remembered the old patient that stayed here for 15 Years, she escaped last night, she was patient 500."

The girl informs Shuhua who suddenly gulped at her predator eyes.

"She was scarier than Tiny Midget Spinner."

The girl grinned.

"Her name is Kang Seung-Shi, the girl who escaped last night... If you see her... Take her in, she's nice."

The girl hummed as Shuhua nodded.

"Bye, then doc."

"Bye..."

Shuhua opens the vault door but stopped once the girl said something.

"See you tomorrow Yeh Shuhua, I wonder if you'll survive Tiny Midget Spinner tho..."

Shuhua gulped and glanced at her.

"Song Yuqi, that's my name."

Shuhua closed the vault door

Shuhua closed the vault door.

"She scared you didn't she?"

Nayeon sighed as she held Shuhua's hand, dragging her to her next patient.

"I'll leave the vault door open in three inches, ok?"

Shuhua nods at Nayeon who smiled sadly.

"I think you are too young for this Shu..."

"I have to work Unnie, I need to pay some bills."

Nayeon nods in understanding.

"There... Room 812."
